Just for fun, I will break all the different components down for you: Best Rice To Use For me, I usually like the mixed plate because I like a little taste of everything! A typical plate lunch only has one big serving of one thing (like JUST teriyaki chicken or JUST Kalua pork etc.) A mixed plate usually consists of two or more smaller servings of a combination of entrees. The only difference is that with a mixed plate you have more than one “entrée” dish. Sometimes people can get confused between a plate lunch and a mixed plate. It just totally depends on the plate lunch spot. I have also seen plates that have potatoes, fried egg, salmon, or sausage. Sometimes you can find plate lunches with chicken katsu (a Japanese-style breaded chicken), shoyu chicken, shrimp, hamburger patties, mahi mahi, BBQ chicken or spam. The “entrée” is typically grilled teriyaki chicken, Kalua pork, or teriyaki beef.
