Rainbow Drive-In (94-226 Leoku Street)

The Loco moco was delicious and fresh. This location was a little cheaper than the one in Waikiki. Will definitely be back.

We were so happy to find that the Rainbow Drive-In has other locations now, and with the same "Ono grindz". While it may not have the "charms" of the Honolulu's location like the t-shirt souvenirs and limited parking... The Waipahu location sure is fast, clean and convenient. I got the corned beef hash plate lunch (with gravy naturally) and like I said, same great tasting food. I included the QR for the menu so you can check what you may be missing ;D \000/

Well this makes the second time I've been to Rainbows. It's been maybe a decade since the first time and I wasn't really impressed that first time. Anyway I was going to the post office and saw the sign and thought...hey why not? First off this mini strip mall has been renovated and looks way nicer than before. The parking lot has a good amount of parking stalls and the lot itself has been repaved so it's nice and new as well. Rainbows itself is brand new and looks nice and clean. A little sad since all the tables and drink fountain are closed currently. I went with a loco moco plate and price was a little over $10 after tax. This gets you a plate of rice, big scoop of Mac salad, two eggs, two hamburgers and gravy. The rice was cooked well and not dry or mushy...something that seems to happen more often nowadays. The eggs were cooked to order and the Mac salad was nice and cold and actually tasted pretty good. The gravy was pretty good and better than your average plate lunch place. Unfortunately while the burgers had decent flavor they were both pretty thin. I think one thicker patty would do much better. Overall not bad but nothing amazing either. I'll try their mix plate next time.
