Neo Loco Moco: A Delicious Hawaiian Comfort Food

When it comes to comfort food, few dishes can compete with the loco moco, a popular Hawaiian dish that combines rice, hamburger patty, fried egg, and gravy. This hearty and satisfying meal has become a staple of Hawaiian cuisine and is loved by locals and tourists alike.

The origins of the loco moco can be traced back to the 1940s, when it was created at a restaurant in Hilo, Hawaii. Legend has it that a group of hungry teenagers asked the owner to create a dish that would satisfy their large appetites without breaking the bank. The owner came up with the loco moco, and it quickly became a hit.

For those who are looking to try the loco moco for themselves, there are many great places to try it in Hawaii. Local diners and food trucks often serve up some of the best versions of the dish, but many restaurants also offer their own takes on the classic dish like Honolulu Noodle & Co.

Neo Loco Moco

The loco moco was a childhood favorite of local boy Dr. Alan Wu. When he opened Honolulu Noodle & Co., Dr. Wu knew he wanted to incorporate his take on the popular local dish. In collaboration with our chef, Vincent Chang, he created the Neo Loco Moco.

Served on a warm bed of rice, minced pork is drizzled with our special sauce and accompanied by an egg sunnyside up. If you are dining with us for lunch, it’s a hearty meal to keep you satisfied, or if you’re stopping by after work it’s the perfect comfort food to end the day with. One of the great things about the Neo Loco Moco is its versatility. It can be eaten for lunch or dinner.

Whether you're a local or a tourist, it's a must-try dish. Come dine with us from 11am to 10pm daily. We are in Stix Asia (former Yokocho space) on the basement level of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza.
