Reid, that’s too bad When I’m on Oahu, I like either Rocky’s or Elena’s fried rice omelets… so yummy. But if you make it to Hilo and you’re craving a fried rice omelet, try this place!

Kirk, maybe you should start a restaurant up there. Loco mocos and Fried Rice!

lance, good tip about trying the burgers first! The burger is really one of the major components. I will make sure to try the oxtail here if it’s available when I go next time. Thanks

Dean, haha.. I’m scared to ask… they might just look at me strange… but who knows, next time at 4am, I might have to ask.

This place has been a “Waiakea ” side tradition for 30+ years . I can remember as a child ordering the SScombo “suicide like” drink and vanilla cokes. Next time you go there try ordering an SS Combo and see what they say.

Their Fried Rice Omelet looks so good. I didn’t realized their breakfast prices were that low. Got to try it next time. My guide before ordering a loco moco is to try the places hambuger sandwiche. If the burger’s good, most likely the loco moco will be good. I tried their hamburger and it was very thin without much flavor as you mentioned. When you get a chance, try their oxtail stew. It’s one of their “certain day” special. It’s very simply made, but sure hits the spot.

Hi James – Fried Rice Omeletes, I haven’t had one of those in many years! Prices sounds great as well.

Hi James,

There used to be a place near my office that used to serve fried rice omelets. Sadly, they closed…and the omelets were good too! I’ve never been to Kandi’s Drive In, so thanks for the tip. The breakfasts look so good…and so cheap too!
