Make sure to try at least one of the following favorites from Chubby’s Diner:
Oxtail Soup
Oxtail Soup draws the richest flavor from one of the most neglected cuts of meat. To create this soup, Chubby’s Diner simmers oxtails in a ginger broth seasoned with vegetables, including cabbage, onions, carrots, and garlic. This rich soup is a rarity among restaurants. But it remains a staple here at Chubby’s Diner. Visitors rave about this favorite dish that has enough food for two people, especially with the included white or brown rice.
Loco Moco
Loco Moco is a rich, hearty breakfast treat for many Hawaiians. This meal at Chubby’s starts with either white or brown rice, a pair of eggs, your choice of meat, and flavorful brown gravy covering everything. You can also order Beyond Meat as a vegetarian alternative for your meat upgrade. Or select a Super Loco breakfast that gives you three meat choices from Spam, hamburger patty, bacon, ham, Portuguese sausage, kalua pork, or chicken katsu.
Fish and Chips
The classic bar favorite of Fish and Chips served at Chubby’s Diner ranks as one of the best, according to several visitors and fans of this dish. While technically on the Pupus (appetizers) menu, this dish could easily be a meal itself. It starts with tempura white fish for a light, crispy texture and crunch. You get a side of fries to complete the dish. By using tempura batter and lightly frying the fish, the diner produces a moist, flavorful, and well-seasoned dish.
Visit Chubby’s Diner alone or as part of your stop at the KBXtreme entertainment complex. Whichever option you choose, you’ll have a fun time and a comforting meal in a festive spot catering to locals.
