In keeping with the standards of Japanese Cuisine, rice is used as a staple
starch, finished off with the hamburger, gravy, and fried eggs to create a dish
that does not require the preparation time of
bento.
Loco Moco can be found in various forms on many Pacific islands from Hawaii to
Samoa to Guam and Saipan.
Loco Moco is also the name of a Hawaii-based restaurant chain featuring Hawaiian
rice bowl dishes.
