We shared the 3 meat plate and still had leftovers. It looked and smelled so good we grabbed a blanket and ate on the grassy area next to the parking lot. The chicken was super juicy, pork bbq wasn't too fatty, beef rib was huge and meaty. We loved everything dipped in the chili water sauce! Also got the pancit and a couple packs of suman (rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves) They reminded us of the suman in the Philippines - so yummy! Service was friendly and efficient.

The sauce was tasty, though didn't have any of the pineapple flavor that some Huli Huli chicken has and overall the meat was a bit bland. If you just get a half chicken, they put it in a plastic bag so very hard to eat, especially since it is piping hot. Hot food in a plastic bag is also not a good idea as the plasticizers can leach into the food and none of us need more microplastics in our food! If you can plan ahead, bring your own plate and a knife and fork instead. You will also need to take it somewhere to eat if you want to site down, or like we and many others did, eat it off of your tailgate or hood of your car.

There was also a seamstress at work on her sewing machine; it seems that she offers on-the-spot alterations, which is genius. The crowd was mostly locals, with some visitors. The Red Barn food truck was very, very popular, and for good reason. They serve different types of grilled cheese sandwiches and they are uh-MA-zing. I got "the Frenchman": crisply toasted bread, heavily buttered, piled with high-quality cheese and two types of mushrooms. You must also get a side of their flavorful homemade tomato soup so you can dunk your sandwich. Oh, the sandwiches also come with a pickle spear and taro chips. Besides the Red Barn, there were other food trucks selling Chinese bao (filled steamed buns), filipino food (pancit and halo halo, need I say more), and boba tea. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few of the food trucks, but they all seemed to have their fans. Parking can be tricky during peak hours.

The Malasadas are delicious - warm and fresh! The fillings for me were hit or miss - some like S'mores tasted lovely with marshmallows and what I assume was a Nutella filling but others, especially local flavors like Lilikoi tasted very artificial and overly sweet and anything with coconut in it turned to liquid like a coconut oil!

In that meeting we learned not only about the experience and skills they possessed, but the authenticity of their hearts to truly serve us. On the day of, they were warriors championing through the Hilo rain (surprise, surprise it rained in a hilo wedding), cooking, moving things around, and presenting everything to perfection. Before we could even thank them for their service, they had already left, ensuring the attention stayed on us on our wedding day. I would recommend their catering service to anyone and just incase you were wondering, yes their food was KILLAHZ.

I had been planning this destination wedding from California and it was not easy choosing vendors blindly without ever trying the food! But the food looked great on their IG page and after communicating with Mark, he definitely knew what he was doing. He gave me some recommendations since I wanted a Hawaiian-Filipino theme. The bbq skewers, bistek, pancit, macaroni salad + poke station and more was all soooo good. They were still good the next day after being slightly hungover. Mahalo to Mark and his team! I recommend their catering to anyone.
