After seeing an Instagram reel, this place was certified smash by one of the content creator I follow. I bookmarked Diamond's Kitchen. We happen to stop at Elena's to grab take out and I remember Diamond's Kitchen food truck is right in the same area out in the parking lot. I see the chicken cooking, smelled so good, hot and fresh so happy this is my chance to try. I went with the 2 item plate, ($24.) fried pork and chicken, which comes with rice, corn and sauce. I didn't get the side of potato salad but wanted to try the pickled ung choy $10. for container. I loved how the chicken is cooked, fire roasted huli chicken. My opinion, Wow- so Ono! I loved the fried pork, super tasty, I loved the dipping the pork with vinegar sauce and the chicken, so tender, juicy and loved it. I love the flavor in every bite eating fried pork, chicken, rice and ate it with the ung choy instead of corn. The best huli chicken here at Waipahu side. I am so glad I saw the reel, would have not known about this Gem! Supporting local and will be back here for sure now that I tasted this goodness! read more

By far the juiciest, tastiest, best huli-huli chicken in all of Hawaii! We have had some amazing huli chicken on every island in Hawaii, and Diamond's instantly became our favorite -- hands down the absolute best there is! From their warm, friendly service to the pride and joy that goes into preparing the food, Diamond's is a one-of-a-kind gem. Located directly across the street from Tanioka's (iykyk) and next to Arby's -- look for the huli-huli sign and the smoky gloriessness billowing from the chicken as it huli-huli's it's way to perfection! Do yourself a favor and let Diamond's Kitchen feed your craving for some legit ono grindz! read more

Hubby picked up a couple of plates from Diamond's Kitchen today. Service was super friendly and owner even offered a sample of their chicken! Food truck is located in a no frills strip mall in Waipahu. The garlic shrimp and chicken combo and chicken plate lunch was packed with plenty of protein and a generous serving of rice, along with sides of potato salad and corn. My picky toddler was a fan of the chicken and rice. The plump garlic shrimp was perfectly seasoned and the huli huli chicken was tender and flavorful. Menu changes depending on the day so we are definitely coming back to try some more of their delicious food!!! read more

Friendly fast sevice. I like my chicken with a good char, but that's ok. No chared skin here. Good tasting and excellent price point. Parking can be troublesome. I had to drop my wife off and wait in the car. Enjoy read more

Great food, affordable prices, excellent customer service. The chicken itself was moist and delicious, the smoky char flavor was soooo good! A plate just of chicken was only $20! I was able to get several meals out of it. Personally I rather pay more for this than worry about the chemicals a certain wholesale club puts in theirs. That being said I will definitely be back. read more

W O W... Guys. Stop what you're doing. Check the time. If Diamond's Kitchen is open right now - GO GET YOURSELF SOME HULI HULI CHICKEN! I'd had this place bookmarked for months, and last week I finally made it in. One plate lunch later and... BRUH. Diamond's delivers. That Huli Huli Chicken is packed with flavor - super juicy, smoky, and fully worth both the drive and the wait. We also got a combo with Huli Huli Chicken & Ribs. The ribs were as tender as could be! The flavor, however, was unexpected... tomato sauce and oregano. Quite different for me, tbh. Glad we tried it tho! Cash and cards accepted. There are a few tables under the tent if you want to eat there. Fair warning: you will smell like smoke for the rest of the day lol. Hope you love it! :) read more

This place is by far the BEST food truck on the island! I lived here for six years in total and I never been here? Shame on me. The cook is so cool and funny and the food is so good. The chicken is super juicy and flavorful and the bbq sticks is so good. The service is second to none and they're so friendly. The ambiance here is outdoors as you smell like a grill after but so worth it. This place taste soo good they need to open a brick and mortar. The calamansi sweet tea is 5/5 and refreshing and the food want more 5/5 read more

The service is friendly, fun, and fast without sacrificing quality. I got the chicken plate with shrimp and as much as I loved the garlic crunch of the shrimp, I loved the chicken even more. Perfectly smoked and seasoned. The side potato salad with crab was delish. Go see the lovable and professional crew: Ari, Kaleb, and Billy! read more

Would have been a 5 star, however chicken was dry rubbed. I was expecting huli huli sauce. Also define an order of chicken. I was expecting a whole one for the price. Contained like 3 thighs and 2 drums. Maybe a wing. Again, it wasn't a whole chicken but an order. read more

I went here to grab lunch today and ordered their Huli Huli chicken plate which comes with corn and rice and a yummy dipping sauce. They give a chicken wing and 2 other large pieces so they don't skimp on portions here! Their Huli Huli chicken is yummy and has a nice smoked flavor. I wanted to try their crab potato salad but they ran out today. If you're craving for Huli Huli chicken, come to this food truck in Waipahu near Arby's! read more

We needed our coffee fix and are glad there are some local artisan coffee businesses here. AMBIANCE: Parking: It's in a plaza; the parking there can get busy, but that's generally on the weekends. Seating: There are community tables, maybe about 3-4 tables. Vibes: Welcome to Waipahu, it's not the most flashliest but it's a nice humble area to appreciate the local gems of Hawaii. It's in a plaza with your daily maintenance need shops and a few restaurants. The shop itself is in a pod village (as people from Portland would call it), basically a few kiosks and food trucks. Great place for a quick bite or a grab-and-go. FOOD: Huli Huli Chicken & Lechon Mix (Recommend) Deeeelicious! Some bbqs can be oversmoked, dry and such but this was delightful. Well sauce and the finesse of the chicken was delicious, soft, juicy, and flavorful. The lechon was solid with a nice crunch and good portions of fat and meat. Complement it with a refreshing crab potato salad and you're in for a treat! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people and quick with the service TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 stars. Good food, fair prices, and a pleasant experience. Many people talk about Roy's huli huli chicken but this a solid delight especially if you're in this area. Best wishes to Rhia and Mark Cabo and the rest of the Diamond's kitchen team. TIPS: * Huli means turn in Hawaii but also evolved as a sauce that mainly consists of pineapple, soy sauce, brown sugar, and all that other good stuff. read more

When I craved huli huli chicken I would drive to Radford on the weekend but not anymore. Made a point to check out these local vendors in the Waipahu Tropicana center. Got me some of Diamond's huli huli chicken. Was so ono! They cut um up for you too! Price is on point for a plate of chicken only. Bradda also walk around and give out samples. Not manini kine but one whole drumstick lol. Friendly staff. Area has tarps covering the eating area. Potato salad was also ono but pricey for a little container. They also have pickles onions read more

If you're hungry, Diamond's Kitchen 808 is the kind of place that keeps calling your name. Their roasted Huli-Huli chicken is straight-up finger-licking, crave-worthy goodness--juicy, flavorful, and unforgettable. The mixed plates? Hearty, satisfying, and packed with island flavor that hits every time. Big portions, bold taste, and worth every single dollar. One visit won't be enough--you'll be planning your next trip before you're even done eating. And if you don't live on O'ahu? Trust me... you'll be wishing you did just so you could come back for more. read more

We came here on a whim where we were trying to find our way back to our hotel, and was kinda lost in the area trying to see the local areas in a bus. We tried out their huli huli chicken and it was really good. It was soft, tender, smoky, and pairs well with the sauce. It's a bit salty to eat it alone, and I know that you can order one that has rice and corn, but we weren't that hungry to have a whole meal. It was still rlly good though! The people over there were really nice, and struck a conversation with my family while we were waiting for our food. They also let us sample their kalbi which was so flavorful. I highly suggest this place to try out their chicken! read more

Awesome food and great service! One of the best Huli Huli Chicken and BBQ grindz on the isle!

In the words of my 7 year-old son: "Best food I ever tasted was here at diamond kitchen. Come here if you want the best chicken in Hawai'i! I love it here!" That says it all! My son insisted on adding his own review. He loved the chicken and kept asking to come back during our entire stay on Oahu. Do yourself a favor and get your butt down to Diamond's Kitchen for the absolute best Huli-Huli chicken in all of Hawai'i! You will not be disappointed. read more

Juicy chicken, hot and fresh. You can smell the smoke as you drive by. Looks like they are using kiawe to cook. Chicken was delicious, season to perfection and not too salty. Located in the same shopping center as elana's and Arby's. The guys working in the back were really hospitable. 10/10 would come back. read more

The people were friendly and the food tasted amazing. The smell of the chicken was good and the smoked flavor was really good. 5 stars!!!!

Found this place on Instagram since Ray's chicken left Kapolei. Hoping the chicken would be the same. Well, not exactly, but still good. Comes with that soy dipping sauce. Was going for the chicken and crisp pork but that special combo changes every week. So you can check their Instagram for their weekly combo specials. Pros: Good tasting chicken. Con: Would like the skin a little more crispy. Check their Instagram for combo specials read more

This is probably one of the best Huli huli chickens I've had, it was tender and the seasoning was amazing. The price for one order of the chicken plate is definitely a great deal, it fed me and my whole family, and still had leftovers for another meal. Definitely do not miss this if you're ever in the area. read more

I was in the area for tires and wanted Filipino food but my friend had told me they heard the Huli Huli chicken was good so we tried it and it was moist and tender and seasoned well! The portion size was enough to share for 2. I will definitely be back. read more

They do take cash and card! I first got in line and I wasn't sure if they took card. The sign for whether they take cash or card is all the way in the front by the cashier. When I came the line was pretty long, they do open from 10am until they sell out. I came right at 10am and the line was already so long. I'm sure the smell brings people in because it does smell good when they cook the huli huli chicken. I love huli huli chicken places that cook it right next to it because you know it's as fresh as it gets! It is $18 a whole chicken and you pay extra for sauce, that was kinda disappointing. If you buy a plate for $16 you get half chicken rice and the sauce and some sides. The chicken is very good, I liked the sauce for the chicken! I bought a few whole chickens and a few sauces brought it home and ate it with my rice there. The chicken isn't dry, it's nice and juicy. So much flavor the sauce helps also. I did order the crab potato salad, I didn't taste the crab in it. I didn't really like it. My boyfriend did though, he enjoyed it with the chicken. The customer service is great! You can tell this is family owned and family ran. read more

Heard a lot about Diamond's chicken from friends that live in the area and I finally got to try it for myself. I ordered 2 plates of only chicken and 1 chicken plate that came with rice, corn, and sauce. This chicken was soo tender and juicy. I'm usually not a big chicken person but I'll definitely come back for this one. Service was quick but keep in mind that they're roasting their chicken at the back end of the truck so it'll blow smoke your way while you wait. I got there about 945a on a Saturday and they already had people ordering despite them opening at 10a. Apparently they run out so everyone came early. Even as I waited for my order, cars were pulling up to purchase. They also have brisket/chicken plates and a few other sides you could purchase but my mission was "chicken" that day. read more

Let me just say this is one if not probably the best Huli chicken. It was so moist, tender, and really good portion. There's a lot of parking in the area with 3 other food trucks. The flavor just binds together and if you can get the mixed plate I suggest you do it. You won't regret it. read more

I came here when I saw it from Elena's. I'm so glad I did. The chicken is so flavorful and moist. My family and I enjoyed it so much but I didn't get any sauce if you're buying the whole chicken.

Super good and definitely will be back. read more
