    Where can you get freshly cooked breakfasts for $5 in this day and age ordered and prepared with a smile. Clean picnic tables to eat in front of the food truck. Thanks for researching on Yelp and treating us for breakfast Doc

    The fresh fried poke is outstanding and a new take on poke. We were able to catch some favorites when they setup at the local Waikiki market but we also drove all the way to the food truck several times to eat the menu. I highly recommend their furikake crusted salmon.

    Pan-Fried Poke w/ Spicy Ahi Aioli (not bad)
    Kelly D.

    I'm so grateful he does pop ups in town because venturing out to Kahuku takes a bit of planning. So far 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)

    Braised Boneless Kalbi Beef
    Oralia D.

    The order came out almost immediately. I had the boneless kalbi beef plate. The meat was tender, delicious, and flavorful. There's not very many covered tables, it is a food truck style restaurant so be prepared to sit on a picnic table. Or there is a brewery across the way, where you can get a nice local beer and sit indoors to eat your meal! Definitely recommend!

    Cajun Garlic Shrimp

    Da Bald Guy was at the Moili'ili Summerfest, this review is based on that experience. 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!

    The hype is REAL. We had been trying to come here for the past three years, but between the early closing time and things selling out fast, we somehow missed it every single trip. This year, we were determined to make it early enough to finally try the Bald Guy, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The food was honestly divine. We tried the pan-fried poke, kalbi beef, furikake crusted salmon, chopped steak, and spam musubi, and every single thing was incredible. It was so good that we ended up eating here twice during our trip. Also, special shoutout to the mac and cheese because WOW... it is ridiculously good. My personal favorites were the poke, chopped steak, and kalbi beef, but truly everything we ordered was amazing. The staff was also super kind and helpful with all our questions. Just a heads up, they do sell out of certain items before closing, so definitely try to get there earlier rather than later. Cannot wait to come back!

    We finally got to try Da Bald Guy yesterday--this has been on our list for years, but we always seemed to miss them since they close at 2 PM. When we arrived, it was almost closing and everything was sold out except for the spicy pan-fried ahi poke. That actually worked out perfectly because it was exactly what we had been wanting to try. Oh wow--it did not disappoint. The flavors were bold, savory, and had just the right amount of spice. We took our food over to Kahuku Beer Garden and enjoyed it with some beers, and it honestly hit differently in the best way. Definitely worth planning ahead for next time so we can try more from their menu.

    We ordered chopped steak and shrimp plate. I was a little disappointed because Kalbi sold out by the time we got there! Overall though food lived up to the legend. Steak was juicy, shrimp was very well cooked. Service was fast. There are seating tables outside the truck. Will be back!

    The peeled garlic butter shrimp ($20) from Da Bald Guy was one of the best bites I had during my recent trip to Honolulu. I love a good garlic shrimp, but I've only ever had it hot and thick on the sauce. At Da Bald Guy, such is not the case. For starters, the shrimp is peeled, leaving the actual shrimp itself to catch all the flavor. It's not heavily doused in sauce. Instead, the use of garlic butter is more intentional where you can taste the sweetness of the shrimp. Sensationally good. No notes. If you find yourself driving to the North Shore, do yourself a favor and stop by Da Bald Guys for their peeled garlic butter shrimp.

    Steak + Pan Fried Poke Plate
    Shirley W.

    We just visited a tour from Kualoa Ranch and made a stop here as it was the midpoint to going to North Shore. It's located with a ton of other small trucks and eateries, so it's a nice pit stop just to wind down and relax! There's a convenient parking lot on the both sides of the whole area. When we visited around 1pm, it wasn't too crowded. More people waiting for their order and just 2 people ahead. The menu listed that they don't do combos anymore (sad!) and they ran out of galbi for the day. We really wanted to try the galbi! So we ordered the pan-fried poke, shrimp, and steak plates. It did take awhile for our order to be ready, since we were also killing time trying to find a table, find drinks nearby, etc. I mainly had the pan-fried poke which I do really enjoy the sauce, but I found it to be nothing too special. The idea of it sounds pretty neat, but I feel like the pan-fried poke was a bit too over done, it almost could have just been grilled fish at that point lol. The steak was pretty flavorful, and the shrimp had all the garlic bits that were pretty flavorful as well. The mac salad was also pretty nice, but pretty heavy and creamy. It is overall a heavy meal, which we all almost went into a food coma haha.

    So much flavor, and very generous portion sizes. I love a limited menu that still offers a variety of choices. The shrimp was packed with flavor! Tons of seating was available at comfortable picnic style tables with umbrellas, also surrounded by shade trees as well.

    Furikake crusted salmon
    Nhung M.

    So I have my favorites when visiting Oahu, and this is a must for me!!! Furikake crusted Salmon and kabli plate is fire. Must get extra sauce (and I like extra spice on mine too). The fish is so crispy even though it's drenched in sauce. Seasoned well, cooked perfectly, never dry and that crusty skin is tasty! Kalbi is tender and flavorful, with large potions. The bf and I share a plate and it's plenty for both of us. Everything is made to order and fresh, and they are quick to get your food to you. Ever since their Netflix special they are so popular, they sell out of the fish every day so make sure to get there by noon. Friendly staff and always so nice too! There's plenty of outdoor bench seating or you can take your food to the indoor beer garden for some shade. Plenty of little shops around to get some kick knacks too.

    Peter C.

    A must stop every time we visit Oahu! This time we were lucky to catch them twice at the pearlgate food truck event and at the usual spot in north shore. Only downfall of catching them at an event is the limited menu, which didn't have the Kalbi (our favorite), furikake crusted salmon (another fave) and the pan fried poke. We were in north shore and barely made the cut at 11am for the Kalbi and ordered the last 2 plates! Honestly everything is good, but my two favorites are the Kalbi & furikake crusted salmon. Both are always cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Until next time!

I didn't think it was too sweet especially for the hour I went and got this. It's almost a little lighter than a cheesecake consistency wise so I think one slice is actually more filling than you think. It could be shareable. But the whip cream balances out the richness nicely. Loco Moco: 4/5 - My first official loco moco! It was quite tasty! Definitely a hearty meal and this one is good to feed two people easily my god. Realistically great for the price. Service: Fast during the time I went. The line was short in the morning but once I got my food it was out the door. I'd say however it moves quickly. There's plenty of seating. They even have an extra back space where the restrooms are. They have a parking lot but most people parked on the road probably assuming there wasn't space. Glad to have tried a classic!
