Da Local Boy serves Hawaiian plate lunch in downtown Chicago's Loop, the kind of counter-service spot where regulars have their order locked in before they reach the register. Katsu chicken and short rib have emerged as the dishes newcomers get pointed toward, and portions run generous by quick-service standards.
Service moves fast even during rush, and the food has built a reputation for staying consistent day to day — the same plate, done the same way, every visit.
