Comments on: K’s Drive In: Loco Moco http://bigislandgrinds.com/2005/08/ks-drive-in-loco-moco/ A food blog from da Big Island of Hawaii Sat, 22 Nov 2008 11:58:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: James http://bigislandgrinds.com/2005/08/ks-drive-in-loco-moco/#comment-2858 James Fri, 16 Jun 2006 19:54:39 +0000 http://www.bigislandgrinds.com/?p=22#comment-2858 Allison, thanks for visiting... I love the korean chicken from the former Kay's, too! I also tried it after the owners changed and now it's Kalbi House... and it tasted the same, thankfully. K's drive in's style of korean chicken is a bit different. It's "wetter" with more of the sauce... and a bit oily. Very tasty, but I still like Kay's bettter.. better crispiness and balance of taste. Big Island Pizza, I can't say too much about since I only tried it once, and it wasn't too fresh when I tried it, but it was pretty good. The crust was nice and chewy, but I wish it were more crusty. I heard a lot of good things about them though, and their toppings are top notch. Reubens is one of my favorites! If you like mexican food, then you'll love it. Their hot sauce they serve is spicy and tastes so good with chips or nachos. I love their enchiladas and flautas too. And try one of their margaritas... a lot of ppl like the li hing mui one.

I would like to know if you have tried the korean chicken @ the former Kay's Lunch Center. Is this Korean chicken from K's Drive In better than Kay's Lunch Center? I really liked the chicken from Kay's Lunch Center. I may want to try the one @ K's Drive In. I will not have too much time in Hilo so, I want to either go to K's Drive In, try that pizza place, Big Island Pizza, or go to eat @ Reuben's. Which do you suggest? Can you please e-mail me with your response? Thank you. I’m from honolulu. I would like to know if you have tried the korean chicken @ the former Kay’s Lunch Center.

I forgot to mention the turnovers. They have great pineapple and apple ones I think... or it might've been pineapple/peach ones. Hey Kirk, the burger was a little oval :P I think the cheapest price I've seen here is just under 2 bucks at Freddy's... a decent one too for the price. Man, $6.45? I hope you blogged that one :D Reid! I forgot to mention the turnovers. They have great pineapple and apple ones I think… or it might’ve been pineapple/peach ones.

But $2.20, can't beat that price. You'd laugh, but I had a loco moco last night here in San Diego it cost $6.45! This is real food porn for me - I love loco's!!! Oh, and it's always plenny tabasco, and pepper on the mac salad for me. James - That kinda an odd shaped burger! But $2.20, can’t beat that price.
