    I grew up close to K's Drive Inn so eating here as a child to now has always been a good experience. Home cooked meals served in drive in, not drive thru. When you come down, try the lilikoi juice and the swirl icecream. You can see the age of the place, but its very historical and always reminds me of my childhood. Around the corner is Kadota liquor

    Do not order the Chicken Hekka. I’ve given it some thought, and this might actually make it into my top three awful-tasting foods. The kitchen doesn’t look clean either. There was almost no taste or spice, the chicken was just tough and dry, and the whole thing felt like it’s either sad leftovers reheated again and again or made with those wild island chickens. Dirty water all over kitchen floor.

    Stopped by K’s Drive Inn in the morning and it wasn’t busy at all, which made for a quick and easy stop. I ordered the loco moco with potato mac salad for about $10, a fair price for the portion. The loco moco patty was on the dry side, but overall it was still tasty and satisfying. The potato mac salad was a nice addition and balanced out the plate. Not the best loco moco I’ve had, but good enough for a casual local-style breakfast.
