Hukilau Cafe

Yeah...I'm a toursity.  Make something of it.  So I had to ask what a Loco Moco was.  I've seen it mentioned in several places but so far there's been no description.  Well hold on to your hats, because this doesn't sound very Hawaiian.  It sounds Deep South.  Top white sticky rice with two hamburger patties, a fried egg, brown gravy and grilled onions.  Sweet merciful crap, it's delicious!  

My daughter had the Hukilau Burger and it was amazing also.  There was some steaky bits on it that had a sweet flavor.  And it's giant.  All the food was giant.  I can eat a lot for a gal and even I couldn't finish my lunch.

Service was fast and kind.  Yes, it's cash only.  Plenty of locals, tourists and b-list celebs dining when we were there.  Priced right.

My friends and I wanted to try the mac pancakes since we were in the area. Unfortunately, we missed breakfast, so I ordered the shrimp burger. My friends ordered the chicken katsu and Hukilau burger. All of the food came out quick and was very tasty.

I wish I was hungry enough to order the Loco Moco as well. Will definitely come back here. Overall: good food, quick service, relaxed atmosphere.

Thank God this place was as close as it was to PCC. We were able to get a great meal (zero complaints from anyone) @ a bargain price. Even better considering the food @ the PCC Alii Luau  was absolutely horrendous. Thank you Hukilau for filling our tummies before entering those gates... (don't get me wrong w/ PCC as the overall experience, less the Alii Luau was FANTASTIC). Not sure if we'll ever have a reason to go this far up North Shore again though if so, this place is an absolute no-brainer...
