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!

He…read moreis out in Kahuku, but I got a taste of his food when he traveled out to Kailua Elementary during our Fun Run. If you follow me, then you know about my search for the best fried chicken I can get my hands on. Well, Chef Bells definitely ranks high in my list! The fried chicken is done fresh. You can watch him doing the fry-up while you wait. The seasoning is just right. The outside is crisp & inside is juicy. It seriously so good! The Mac n Cheese is EXACTLY what I look for. Cheese, bacon, and bread crumbs. There is cheese all the way through - not just sitting on top. The noodles were soft, not rubbery. I'm telling you, you HAVE to try it! DELICIOUS! The pricing was a la carte. It was $3 for each piece of chicken and $3 per scoop of Mac n Cheese. Was it worth it? YES! He definitely has a new fan in me!

I would go with the fried chicken (so freaking delicious), along with their rice with special seasoning (can't remember the formal name), as well as the cornbread. OK, and can I just say a word about the chicken? OMG. The chicken. Fried perfectly so the skin is just right and the chicken is so dang juicy. They set up I think on Tuesdays but if you ever see their tent out, you have to go more than once because the food is crazy good and I kind of want them to open their own restaurant here in Kahuku . lol.

We were walking around the food truck area and stumbled upon this place. I'm surprised by the low…read morereviews because it really wasn't that bad. Burger was good, I loved the addition of the onions and mushrooms at no extra charge. Fries weren't anything to rave about but they weren't awful either. Is it seven brothers? No, but honestly seven brothers is so greasy that it upsets my stomach and this place didn't. Pricing I thought was very fair. Service wasn't the best, they weren't the nicest but you're barely interacting so that's fine. Drinks were only $2 as well which sadly is a great deal for places around there. If you want something simple, quick, and pretty good this is the spot for you.

Unfortunately, the Lobster Corn Dog was a major disappointment. There was very little lobster…read morefilling, making it feel overpriced and not at all what we expected. Another drawback is that this vendor is cash only, which can be inconvenient if you're not prepared. With so many great food trucks and dining options in the area, this one simply didn't stand out. We were drawn in by the sign and the concept, but the experience didn't live up to the hype. I'd recommend spending your hard-earned money elsewhere and exploring some of the many better options nearby.

I could be wrong about the corn they used, but I had have had better. It wasn't terrible, just serviceable. The bad: They tipped themselves with my credit card without my knowledge. They stated a total, I paid with tap. They said thank you and said it would be 7-8 minutes and so then I walked away. Initial charge showed what they stated but then I see that another 15% was added a day later. I take responsibility that I didn't stick around for the tip screen but I honestly thought our transaction was over after I tapped. I totally would have tipped as I always do but I wasn't asked as they let me walk away. They also could have just asked me verbally for a tip when I came back to pick up my order rather than take it from me. It was only a few bucks but it's the principle; you shouldn't just take from a customer without their knowledge or permission.

Just good food, made with real hands and real care. I ordered the Mushroom Burger, and it honestly changed the game for me. The patty was juicy and seasoned just right, layered with sautéed mushrooms that added this deep, earthy flavor -- like comfort cooked slow. The melted cheese pulled everything together in perfect balance, and the toasted bun held its own without ever getting in the way. Every bite was messy in the best way -- the kind you have to close your eyes for and just feel. The vibe here? Pure aloha. You walk in and feel like you've been here before -- like this is where everyone goes when they just need a good meal and a moment to breathe. The staff are chill, friendly, and full of that easy local kindness that can't be faked. It's the kind of place where time slows down -- where you sit outside, taste the salt in the air, and let the flavors remind you how good life can be in its simplest form. Final Thoughts: Haleʻiwa Burgers isn't just about burgers -- it's about the feeling after the last bite. That quiet, content, "yeah, this is it" kind of happiness.

He showed it to me, and we decided we were gonna go since we were spending the day in the North Shore anyway. We pulled up to the food truck spot in Kahuku, and not only is Zephanie's there, but so are several other trucks. We only got pizza from Zephanie's this time. We of course had to try the Hukilau pizza on the taro crust since that's one of their signature items. OMG...it was SO GOOD! In fact, we're still talking about it, and how we will be going back on our next visit to Oahu in a few months. They serve a few other types of pizza as well. The service is fast and friendly too! There are bunches of picnic tables to eat at. Some with umbrellas, some without. If on the North Shore, do yourself a favor and check out Zephanie's Pizza!
