    a bowl of food
    Sunil R.

    I picked up a poke bowl from here for lunch today and perhaps should have gotten something with lobster which seemed to be their specialty. The poke bowl was smothered in furikake. It was way too much, made the whole bowl super salty and overrun with the flavor of furikake. I would have much rather preferred the taste of the fresh fish instead. I spent some time trying to get it out but it was too much work and I ended up not finishing it.

    Don't pass up this hidden geml! They are over shadowed by the big chain shrimp shacks but their food is absolutely comparable and then some! We loved our light lunch and will drive the 50min back here tomorrow to try the rest of their menu! The lobster dog, churros and Plantaltion Iced Tea made us regulars! Friendly service and fantastic food in paradise! What else could you ask for!

    The Garlic Style shrimp with rice and salad was hands down one of the best shrimp dishes that I've ever had. The shrimp was fresh and perfectly cooked. The shrimp are huge and you thry pile them on. Since we aren't big eaters, my wife and I ordered a single meal to share between the two of us, however it was so good that we ordered a second meal and stuffed ourselves. Its truly an amazing meal. Chef Kale and her crew were extremely nice and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. She even gave us pointers on how to make it when we get home. We found them after a day of ziplining at Climb Works... which was awesome. Their truck sits off to the side, away from the pack of the other trucks. We are extremely pleased that we stopped and gave them a try. If you are in that area of Kahuku you must stop and give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

    Hubby found this place and this lilac Filipino food truck is tucked all the way at the back…read more We ordered the special of the day which is the Wafu Steak, NY steak was cooked medium well with caramelized onions and shoyu glazed. The beef cut and onions reminded me of the classic Filipino beef steak but this one does not have vinegar or is not sour, it also leans more on the sweeter and savory teriyaki side. It has 2 scoops of rice, and a side salad. Chey Jay, the owner was helpful and friendly. Service was fast. No complaints! They only accept Venmo or cash. Go check them out if you are in the area. It's the only lilac truck at Sugar Mill tucked all the way at the back.

    This is a food truck in the back behind the main attraction on that side, the shrimp truck. I was…read moreinterested in trying their teri beef but I'm a sucker for specials and today was something called Wafu steak. I honestly thought it was wagyu misspelled but it's actually based on a type of sauce explained to me as sweet and savory. It was a plate lunch with 2 scoops rice, NY steak, and a side salad. The steak was cooked pretty well but after eating maybe 2 or 3 pieces I stopped. This is the kind of plate that gets better with time so I left it for a few hours and was not disappointed that the sauce marinaded more into the steak. Service was quick even with plate made to order. The only thing is you pay with cash or vendor. I do hope they have a card reader soon. If you're turned off by the shrimp truck line or want something filipino hawaiian fusion, come here and taste the good food they have!

    Sorry late post! This was about a month from posting this!…read moreMy family, bf, and I wanted to support food trucks today for our lunch, so we decided to head to the Kahuku Sugar Mill I wanted a garlic shrimp plate and this is usually my go-to spot. I love the garlic smears they leave on the rice and that it's almost like a paste (my preference lol). Though it is very oily/buttery (almost like a pool) where they have the shrimps- still really Ono! My dad wanted to try their squid and shrimp plate (garlic butter combo)- he said he enjoyed it! He requested no garlic on his rice. Overall, this has been my preferred garlic shrimp plate. I don't like the shrimp heads at the shells aren't too hard. There's some places and it's very crunchy. These ones aren't pretty soft so I don't have to worry about it hurting my lips when I suck the garlic off lol I do want to note that I had shrimp here once and it was a bit mushier than usual. This was a couple months ago, but all the other times, the shrimp has been a good texture

    1/5 -- Buyer Beware: Tourist Trap…read more Very disappointing experience. The rice was old and mushy, the shrimp did not taste fresh, and the beef was extremely chewy. Most concerning, there was a visible fly on the shrimp inside the food container. Between the food quality and cleanliness concerns, I would not recommend this place. Stay away--especially if you're a tourist looking for a good local meal.

So so good! I got the best seller bacon burger and WOW! Soooo fresh and juicy. Their homemade sauce goes so well with the burger. They also give extra home made sauce on the side with the fries. The fries was extra crispy but the potato on the inside stayed soft. So perfect! I really enjoyed the texture on the fries too because the potato ratio was a lot! They are located in the kahuku sugar mill in a food truck right next to rys poke. friendly staff and this combo was only $18 with fries & a drink

Jeri: We'll take Da Fun Guy burger, and can you add a slice of taro in it. He: Ummmm, excuse me...what? Jeri: We want Da Fun Guy, and add a slice of taro. Also an order of taro fries. Da Fun Guy is a great burger! The worker grilled a slice of taro, and it was on the side. We put it in ourselves and cut the burger into four pieces. So good! But man, those taro fries were amaaaaaaazing! Nice and crispy and very hot! I almost want to say they're double fried! This is a great place in the sea of food trucks that are all around the Sugar Mill Center. Lots of options! Mahalo Tara Hut!
