Review Tatsuo's - Honolulu

We landed in Hawaii yesterday around 12 pm and we were HUNGRY. I didn’t want any American food I wanted some GOOD food. Let me tell y’all, you can taste the love in every single bite of this food! They have this thing called the Loco Moco (picture with the eggs) it’s literally so delicious! It a homemade patty with, rice, some chopped onions and gravy! And the chicken was just *chefs kiss* magnificent. We came here from Utah and we’ve been too some restaurants like L&L and Mobettahs- which are good also but this was amazing! I high recommend. Good food and even better people! The owners (I think) were so nice! Love them!

So many comfort food choices!! I love this place and have so many favorites. Their daily specials menu is huge plus snacks galore!! Now that I don't work close by, I don't get to eat there as often as I want to but I don't mind the 30 minute drive on my day off to eat some delicious food ... yum

Had a great experience, customer service was excellent and the staff was very accommodating!

This is a blue collar take-out spot in the heart of an industrial area. Great value and fast. Very friendly. Zero frills. No seating. The interior space is cluttered. Potato chips were expired by a couple months.

Super friendly staff. Quick service. Fair prices. And awesome food. The fried rice that came with the breakfast was really good. Also, the coffee wasn't weak, which is refreshing when it's included with the meal. Highly recommend.

Best Mac Salad on da Island, very kind owners, give em a shout out next time you're in town!

just a short story, today I was on my way to work and got a flat tire. I knew I was unable to get to my location safely so I had to find a quick and safe place to pull over. I was able to safely park next to Tatsuo's. Although im pretty sure i wasnt able to park there, once I let the owner know my situation, he kindly allowed me to park. Super nice guy. Went in there and bought a few drinks, chatted with him before I left to wait for the tow truck. Tow truck took so long that I was still there when Tatsuo closed. I wont go into details because its too long lol but anyways a lady came out of Tatsuo's (im not sure if she is the wife of the man but im pretty sure she also calls the shots lol) anyways so she comes out and we talk a little about whats going on with my car and she calls her grandson and tells him to bring all of his tools. Her grandson comes and him and another great samaritan helps to take my flat tire off and put on the spare one. when they're done i took out some cash to pay them for their generocity but the lady would not accept my money. she tells me that she wont accept the money but asked that i just come back to buy food from their store to repay them for their kindness. Im a new driver, just got my license last year. I didnt grow up with the knowledge about cars, i will definetly change that! But i just wanted to share my experiece because there arent a lot of people that could take some time to help a complete stranger and this is exactly what the owners at Tatsuos did. Im very upset at myself for not getting their names, i will once i go back. Im sorry i know i said itll be a short story so ill end it. But to the owners of Tatsuo, their grandson and the good samaritan, i just want to say thank you, THANK YOU THANK YOU times a million, from the bottom of my heart for the kindness you showed to a complete stranger!

Delicious food and very kind staff! The owner and her family helped us pick out great local dishes, explained the seasoning, and even shared her homegrown oranges and pineapple with us. Highly recommended!!!

Oh my goodness! This food was so delicious. We left the decision of what meat to put in a 3 meat mix plate. And she didn't disappoint. We enjoyed hamburger steak, garlic chicken, and mochiko chicken over a bed of rice. With potato/mac salad and homemade Kim chi. All of it was so good. Will definitely be back before we leave Hawaii for home(Oklahoma). Mahalo

Found this place on our way back to the airport heading back to california. The place is really clean and the service is great. The cook gave us advice on what to order and also let us try few items before we place the order. Food was really good. I definitely recommend Tatsuo's.

Great taste and choices! Local food with aloha! Hamburger steak is the bomb! Pastele stew is a Wednesday must. Frendly staff and even get cookies to die for! Get there and enjoy!

We had breakfast here while visiting from out of town. The staff here is very friendly and the food is delicious. We'll be moving to the area soon, and we'll definitely be back here again.

Amazing local flavors! Locals were very nice. Owners were so welcoming and educated us on all the food!

The best!!! Clean, DELICIOUS & family owned. WILL BE BACK.

My friend recommended this place for lunch. I'm so glad that I went. Awesome place to get good homemade food and great customer service.

Great food, friendly staff. Very clean. The only reason it's not 5stars is because I haven't eaten every thing yet! 😀😀😀

Legit lunch plates. Good variety and interesting dishes. Reasonable price, friendly staff.
