Big City Diner (pearlridge) - Aiea

They'd have got 5 stars if they got my 3rd order right. 1. Order: Cobb Salad fantastic!? 2. Order: Fried Rice, no egg Spot On!? 3. Order: Fried Min Noodles, no egg Bloop, they put the egg in??? (Lucky didn't waste it as I gave it to my BFF) I told the waiter I was allergic to eggs when I made the order!

Really liked the feel but the meal was underwhelming. Got the Mac burger with garlic fries. It sat up on the waiters counter for a while which is why I think it wasn't great. By the time I received my food the fries had become soggy in the garlic butter. And the bun was open so the side with the condiments on top had also soaked up butter and therefore was really soggy. Kinda gross and made for a much messier meal than was already expected. I'd go again but wouldn't order the same thing.

Convenient location with ample parking for dinner. Lunch can be tough given the parking lot is shared with a lot of businesses. Restaurant is older and comfy and the staff is helpful and friendly. It has some really good Kimchee Fried Rice. Today my family ordered takrout items we never tried before and it was good. Kimchee Fried Noodles were tasty but not as good as the rice. Loco moco was a decent size but not not the top of my list. I would skip the ham and cheese sandwich as the ham was not sliced ham we are used to and it seemed like a processed ham substitute. Chicken tenders were good enough for my little one to finish them. We will be again but we will stick with our usual fare.

We had the magic mushroom burger, Wasabi Cucumber burger, Sistahs patty melt. They were ok, nothing fantastic to rave about. We also had the garlic fries cajun fries. The cajun flavor was good but the garlic wasn't as good. The staff was nice and pleasant.

Definitely a different type of diner I?m used to. But this place was delicious. Loved the Kimchee fried Rice, it also wasn?t too spicy so you?re able to enjoy eating it. My kids loved there Breakfast we ended up ordered a side of sausages togo. My mom is basic so she had the side of eggs and hash brown for breakfast. I would come here again.
