The Loft

I like this place. My husband doesn't as much as I do. I've no idea why and I don't think he has any idea why either. You order at the counter. The counter area is tiny, so if it gets crowded, there's not really much space to stand around. If you eat at the restaurant, you have to walk a flight of stairs and there is seating up there. It can get super hot in the summer time, heat rises, and you're seated above their hot kitchen. The decor is kind of old looking, but reminiscient of Hawaii.They serve spam musubi...I think they need to add Portuguese sausage musubi to the menu and I'd be there all the time! I love their kalua pig, Korean bbq chicken, and teri plates. Husband likes their lau lau.Recommended!!!! Go there.

I'm really still a fan of this place and now that we're getting older, my husband and I can no longer eat a whole plate, so we can share. However my eyes were bigger than my stomach today, so I got two. My husband loves Kalbi and I'm a fan of the Island Fried Chicken .... but my ultimate favorite here is their fried rice. It's THE BEST fried rice IMO, WAY better than I can make!! They charge extra for the fried rice, but it's so worth it and we actually got two meals each from all the food we got for $47 out the door. The cabbage salad isn't as good as I remember and it's basically cabbage and a few piece of raw instant ramen. The dressing is pretty basic too. Seems like a splash of rice vinegar. The potato salad is good and they can call it their own. It's got a substantial amount of black pepper in it, but very unique.

Been going here since high school if u love teriyaki chicken Mac & veggies you can't wrong

The best Hawaiian BBQ hands down in Oc The food is amazing and the staff is great. It's always a pleasure when I eat at the Loft it's my favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot for years and I'm not going anywhere else.

This Loft location does a nice job of preparing delicious Hawaiian favorite. The Bacon Fried Rice was a welcome and delicious change of pace. Service ordering at the counter is very good. Seating options are very limited, unfortunately.

Unsuspecting good Hawaiian food! Now is this the best? No. I ordered the fried chicken. I upgraded to the spam fried rice, obviously. The cabbage salad is sooo good. Their Mac salad is good as well. The chicken needs sauce. They have house hot sauce and teriyaki. I mixed them to create this amazing sauce. Next time I'm in the area I'll come back.

My family and I ordered the Korean bbq beef and island style fried chicken. Both had so much flavor and huge portions. There was 4 of us and we only got the 2 platters that was the perfect amount of food. We upgraded to bacon fried rice that was super good! The cashier was very friendly and answered our questions we had about the menu. She brought up our food upstairs in the dining area for us too. She gave us all of the extra sauces as well. The restaurant was very clean and there was outdoor seating as well. We will definitely come back again!

Came here by accident. Probably the best Loki Hawaiian place I've been to other than Hawaii. Ordered the island fried chicken plate and split with my son. 6 yummy chicken nuggets and dipped them in katsu sauce and their house spicy sauce. Gave it a 4 because slaw was just okay and presentation isn't great but I'd totally go here again and next time upgrade to fried rice!

I'm genuinely unsure how this place gets anything but 5 stars. I first came to the loft a few weeks ago, and I have to say I have picked up food here multiple times since the first time I tried it. Everything about the loft is straight to the point. It's nothing fancy, the ambience is nothing out of the ordinary. But the food is absolutely incredible. I've strangely only gotten take out, but every single time I'm so happy with the food. The chicken katsu is crispy and delicious. The Kalua pork is my personal favorite, and I order it with my meal every time. The cabbage is also my favorite from any Hawaiian place! They actually put pieces of uncooked ramen in the cabbage, which sounds strange but gives it the perfect crunch. The Mac salad also tastes very fresh, and tastes lighter than other Hawaiian restaurants I've visited. Pro tip we also always call in the food. They usually have our order in 10-15 minutes and it's also extremely quick. Love this place so much

Beware of being overcharged! They charge more than what's listed on their menu . I tried to show him their website and he responded, " i only work here" and walked away.
