Don’t look at me: I didn’t do it! That’s how they spell it at Cooke Street Diner. It’s the regulation rice, hamburger patty, cooked egg and gravy, but you can opt in for brown rice instead of white, and get tossed greens on the side instead of macaroni salad. It’s as healthy as a Loco Moco can possibly be. The salad greens and dressing were good as usual, and the rice was rice. The hamburger meat was a little on the dry, overcooked side, but was still flavorful. There was a good chunk of mystery gristle or vein that got wedged between two of my teeth that took a while for me to wiggle/scrape/pry out (no floss at work). The egg is cooked how you like it, in my case “over easy”. The egg was nicely cooked – still white on both sides, still runny inside: It was not all brown and crispy/burnt around the edges from being fried in too much oil at too high a temperature (ala Zippy’s). The gravy was familiar from some of their other dishes like the meatloaf. I give it a B- overall. Slightly better ground beef in the hamburger patty and maybe more careful preparation of the patty (not overcooked) would have raised the score, but it was well within spec for the $5.50 USD including tax.
If their standard size Loco Moco is not enough for you, there is the CSD Loco Moko, which is two hamburger patties and two eggs, with fried onions and gravy over rice. The upsized one goes for $6.83 USD including tax. This one is for a really hungry big bruddah – the standard sized one filled me up fine.
