I asked a local guy on the beach who was collecting puka shells where to get Loco Moco? He paused and said “Jacks Inn”. He mentioned it was a local spot with cheap prices but its in the industrial area of town.

I made the road trip, found it and it really was old school in a positive manner. Full of locals, no AC, ceiling fans are at full blast, old time booths and tables and chairs. The even had a table for one.

A grandma will come out and take your order and you have a hard time understanding her because shes wearing a mask.

They offer a nice cold glass of water with ice

The food came out and I was a little surprised. It was servered with corn on the side. It was excellent addition to the meal. I think the corn was canned corn.

This Loco moco was the best on Maui. I’ve tried over a dozen during my trip, but this gravy was unique. It had a unique spice added to it. I loved it. The rice and hamburger patty hit the spot

The presentation of the locol moco was elevated due to the plate they used. It made me feel of my younger days.

A true positive dinning experience and what an excellent meal. FIVE GOLD STARS.

Meyong and her 2 boys (Jordan and Brandon), serve up tasty breakfast and lunch. Jordan is usually in the back cooking up onolicious grinds while his brother Brandon is out front serving it up.
We usually go for breakfast. The International Omelet (w/fried rice & gravy) and Banana pancakes are the best on island.
This is where the locals go to eat so you know the food is ono!

It was 1990-something when my friend told me we were going to eat at Jack’s Inn. Fine. After we walked in, I walked right out. There were more condiments on the wall than in the containers. So why the change of heart? Because I’m on a mission to find Maui’s best saimin now that my beloved Archie’s in Wailuku is long gone.

ATMOSPHERE:
They’re located in a small warehouse-looking building in the Kahului Industrial Park on the west side of Alamaha between Hanamau & Hanakai. Seating is a mix of tables and booths in a very casual setting made bright and even a bit cheery with lots of natural light via the plentiful windows. Condiments were all in their containers this time, thankfully!

MENU:
Breakfast selections, local-style plate lunches, saimin, dry mein, burgers, sandwiches, simple salads.

FOOD:
Super Saimin
Pictures from fellow Yelpers made this an easy decision, thank you! The noodles were cooked perfectly chewy and were possibly the local Iwamoto brand which are a thicker-style noodle. The clear broth was a traditional porky-vegetable saimin flavor, not overly salty and served searing hot. An abundance of toppings included a hard boiled egg, broccoli & cauliflower florets, kamaboko (fish cake), julienned carrots, two homemade pork-filled won tuns, super tender bits of shredded pork and green onions. Generous portion size. Not the best bowl I’ve had but it’s definitely in my top five.

Roast Pork
The photos of this dish are a mixed bag with some looking mouth-watering and some unadorned, the latter of which I received. While I prefer shredded pork, these were sliced. Most of the pieces were tender with just a few tough parts and a low amount of fat. The medium-colored gravy was tasty and the two scoops of rice were cooked perfectly. The side of buttered corn went well with the dish but was way too minimal. Come to find out they forgot my macaroni salad that was supposed to come with the plate.

Dry Mein (mini)
I did takeout for this as I wanted to compare them to Maui’s infamous Sam Sato’s. While Jack’s version doesn’t come with any bean sprouts or soup for dipping, it tasted similar, meaning it’s lightly-seasoned, so I still had to add a generous amount of shoyu and black pepper to satisfy my tastebuds. The roast pork topping was more generous and isn’t a char siu-style.

Fry Rice Special
Their version of fried rice was okay in the flavor department and far from the best I’ve had. The only meat mixed in was diced ham so a lack of salt and seasoning were very apparent. The rice was topped with a single egg (cooking style of your choice) and a red “Maui hot dog” accompanied. Affordable and forgettable.

Corned Beef Patty
Mmm, this was good! While I love it canned, this one is fresh. The patty was thick, seasoned perfectly and didn’t fall apart while eating it. A lather of plain old ketchup made it even better.

SERVICE:
A “wait to be seated” sign was posted but it turned out to be a seat yourself deal. Being that it was my first time here and the place was full, I waited. A lady sitting at one of the booths who I thought was a customer but was actually a worker on break, asked if I was a party of one, in which I replied “yes”. She said “Come sit here” while pointing to the seat across her. Confused, I reconfirmed “Here?” and pointing to the seat. “Yes” she replied, and said her break was done and that she’d be leaving soon. LOL! That’s the kind of place this is; from-the-heart, mom and pop service, and I loved it!

When you’re ready to pay, take note of your table number and head to the cashier.

TIP:
Open for breakfast and lunch, closed Sundays, cash only.

OVERALL:
Clean interior, nice menu, friendly service and good saimin, but I have yet to find my favorite version.
