Had another amazing garlic shrimp plate while taking visitors around the island. They are now among 3 trucks, a thai, Vietnamese and the shrimp truck. Tried their regular garlic shrimp and their spicy lemon garlic shrimp. Both so delicious! The rice with sauce is so good! Remember to bring cash, as they do not take credit cards. read more

This place has amazing burmese food! I finally had a Tuesday off so I picked up lunch from the makaloa spot. Please check their IG for the menu and location. Ordered 3 things: Samusa- the sauce for it is so good Tea leaf salad- very refreshing! Head on shrimp- really good and still tasted really good when microwaved again for my husband to taste when he finished work. The owners were really nice and I saw they had a lot of repeat customers come by. Definitely recommend trying this food truck ! read more

I guess I have been following aloha burma for awhile and it dropped off my radar. I originally had lunch plans elsewhere, but saw they were open today and wanted to try their salmon laksa so I decided to pre order here instead. I've honestly never had Burmese food before and im usually quite hesitant to try new things that im not really familiar with, but im so glad I tried! It is best to call or dm your order ahead of time as they could run out throughout the day. They are either posted in Makaloa street where MW used to be or in kakaako near mother Waldron park. You'll have to follow their Instagram to find out where they'll be. They're also only open on Tuesday and for 2 hours. I asked why the odd hours and he mentioned that he had another full time job elsewhere. Parking was easy. It was street metered parking which there was lots of. I also love food trucks cause it means my little bestie can come along! The portions were pretty generous and the pricing was pretty fair. I honestly thought the plates would cost more than it was. The taste was incredible! Every bite was jam packed with flavor! My favorite was surely the salmon laksa and the Samusa. I low key regret not picking up the shrimp laksa too. read more

Say this with me, "Burmese Tea Salad, please." You can thank me later for this unexpected party in your mouth. Yan and Mala (owners) who are gems of humans, if you ask me, own this GEM of a food truck. Only (currently) open on Tuesdays in town, so make sure you get to town for lunch on Tuesdays. I know that I do! Tuesdays are split between the Ala Moana area behind First Hawaiian and Kaka'ako. I had found Aloha Burma on IG, but found it difficult to catch up with them because they have limited hours. But, after serendipitously finding Yan and his truck at Bay View Market (every 3rd Wednesday of the month, I think), it was love at first sight. My tummy is thanking me and life on Tuesdays have never been the same. Prices are so affordable you'll have to do a double-take. Service is quick and so so so friendly that you'll feel like Yan is your best buddy. Every time I order I always get the Tea Salad - I am a nuts person so the fact that this salad is draped in nuts is ah-mazing. I have gotten other things like the Beef Masala and the Lemongrass Coconut Tapioca with Lilikoi Sauce and every time Aloha Burma's food hits. It's THAT good. I know BIG things are coming for these lovely humans, so it won't be long until their lines will be down the street every Tuesday. Highly recommend if you've never had Burmese food or if you have cravings for B-Star from SF, Aloha Burma is the spot! Cheers to Yan & Mala! read more

So happy this food truck is near my Kaka'ako office every other Tuesday! Both times I've encountered it on the same side of the street at Fisher's, on my way to another foodie destination. Both times I was waylaid by their intriguing menu of Burmese dishes and was I happy I did! The first time I had their Salmon Laksa with rice and roasted veggies. I don't even like cauliflower but I polished off everything on that bento, including the substantial piece of salmon and fragrant jasmine rice. They took a break over the holidays and so I was excited to see they were back this week. This time I went for their Beef Masala with Burma Rice and Roasted Veggies - could not believe how much food you get for $15, I ended up eating half for lunch and saving the rest for dinner. The beef was super tender, the rice as fragrant and fresh as the last time, as were the veggies. Cannot wait for their next visit 2 weeks from now - follow them on Instagram for updates! read more

First time trying this food truck as we've never had burmese food before. Ordered their mixed salad. Salad was delicious! It had rice noodles, glass noodles, cabbage, mint, carrots, etc. The dressing put it all together. As this was our first experience, we didn't know what to expect but it turned out amazing. Will definitely go back and try some of their other menu options. read more

Tried the ginger salad yesterday at my sister's recommendation and it was AMAZING! I'm not a salad/veggie person but the ginger dressing and the crunchy topping made me even eat the tomatoes Highly recommend! Hopefully they will have the samosas next time. read more

This food truck is truly a hidden gem! It's a blue truck you can't miss usually parked around Don quijote or in kakaako. Service is wonderful and friendly! You need to follow on Instagram to find out where this food truck will be. The location does vary, but the owner is responsive. You can also preorder on IG. I love all the dishes I've tried so far! Nothing has disappointment. I always get the tea salad, samusa, and a main dish. I loved his fried noodles with chicken, and laksa noodle dish! He's only open on Tuesday from 11-1ish or sold out. I wish he was available on weekends, but if you contact the owner he can make special orders or cater. I always try to make my way to the truck when I get the chance! This is a must try plate lunch truck! read more

What a find! Fantastic Burmese food served with smiles. I had the shrimp laksa today - richly-flavored, large shrimp with heads-on and body-peeled, so I could really get messy enjoying every inch of them. Delicious rice and veggies alongside makes for a meal, with generous servings. I went for the tea leaf salad, but am saving it for tomorrow since it holds well. Can't wait!! Looking forward to trying all their dishes over the next month! Kyei zu tin ba de! read more

He comes to my Ala Moana neighborhood every other Tuesday, and I try to be there. The food is wonderful, and the proprietor is friendly.

All I can say is the food is delicious! We have ordered from them for the past year and have yet to be disappointed. Customer service has been outstanding as well. Visit them and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

I can't praise Aloha Burma enough. The food is delicious, with fresh and quality ingredients. With such reasonable prices, it's really a deal. I haven't had any dish yet that I didn't love. My favorites are the tea leaf and ginger salads. But I always have to include a cooked dish (chicken curry, laksa, beef masala, etc.) and/or some samusas. Luckily, I have a husband to share the orders with because the food keeps well even if I have to save some for dinner. I can't leave work long enough to go to Makaloa (near Don Quijote), so I usually order when they park in Kakaako (near Fisher Hawaii on Pohukaina Street). So I guess my only criticism, if you can call it that, is that I can't get food here more often. read more

Aloha Burma offers some of the most delicious food I have tasted in Honolulu - and that includes food served at higher end restaurants. If you enjoy ethnic food, Aloha Burma offers excellent quality, good sized portions, and some of the tastiest yet subtle spice preparations one can imagine. Definitely well priced and a hidden gem.
