    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.

    great customer service and amazing food. support the locals! giovanni's truck was right by this place, but we chose to eat here instead. i'm shocked as to why there weren't many people here when the food tasted amazing. 10/10, definitely coming back

    I'm so grateful he does pop ups in town because venturing out to Kahuku takes a bit of planning. So…read morefar my favorites would have to be hands down the Ribeye and Shrimp plates. The ribeye is super tender and both plates have so much flavor packed into it! I tried the Braised Boneless Kalbi and it is good and super soft! But the flavor isn't my cup of tea; I prefer my kalbi to be LA kalbi style so just something to keep in mind if that's what you were expecting Each plate can easily be shared between two people which gives you more room to try other items hehe I highly recommend coming super early for his pop ups because the lines gets ridiculously long. He is always our first stop of the list because you just can't risk certain items running out! (Trust me, I had this happen to me the first time and I was a very sad camper with what was left)

    Da Bald Guy was at the Moili'ili Summerfest, this review is based on that experience…read more And HO my wife and I got two plates, one Pan-fried Poke and one Cajun Garlic Shrimp, and both were moono'ono. Both extremely solid 9/10. If you like poke, you'll probably like it pan-fried. The spicy ahi flavor is familiar, but the change in cook method adds a different dimension. If you like shrimp, and can handle a smidge of spice, you'll probably like the Cajun version. However, the limiting factor could be location. If you're in the area, or see them at an event, try go fa sho!

    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!
