Meg's Drive-In

Chicken katsu is a local favorite and is on most "plate lunch" menus.  Everyone makes theirs slightly different, either in the breading or the katsu dipping sauce.  Growing up, my go-to places for chicken katsu were L&L Drive Inn, and Grace's Inn.  To this day I still go to those places for chicken katsu, and whenever I post a pic of my chicken katsu, a few of my friends on social media post comments telling me that the chicken katsu at Meg's Drive-In is THE BEST.

I attempted to try Megs' chicken katsu several times, and every time I never made it through the doors because I couldn't find parking. They have a few stalls in front of the restaurant, otherwise you have to park on the street, and on weekdays, street parking is very scarce in this area.  But on this day, I got lucky and found a space in the lot, so even though I had brought home lunch, I stopped to buy a plate of chicken katsu.  

Did it live up to the hype? Most certainly.  The chicken katsu was ultra-crispy and moist.  How did I live on this island for so long and not know that one of the island's best chicken katsu is here at Meg's?  

Look for this sign on Waikamilo Road (mauka of Dillingham Blvd)
