    Gyros-n-villians food truck
    Jeremiah U.

    Gyros N Villains is a food truck that's serving greek street food. The chicken and beef are very tender. The sauce compliments the meats taste and doesn't overpower. The drinks have a perfect amount of sweetness to clear your palate. They've created a new but smaller menu compared to what they had before. The food has flavor, good quality, with happy and friendly service. Payment Cash or credit card Parking Street park Restrooms At nearest facility

    The truck

    Pros: The portions are good, the veggies are fresh, they are thoughtful in their packaging, and the location is easy to get to. Cons: The area is a bit sketch because it's in a liquor store parking lot, the wait is long, and the prices are a bit high. Oh, and I feel like they are open at random times. I might be wrong on that part, though. Overall, it was good. Would I go back? Probably. Would I eat there? No. I would rather eat in a relaxed area and not have homeless, cars, and beer runs disrupting my meal. It definitely has its own flavour, so if you like gyros, I do suggest trying it. It hits the spot, and you don't have to drive to Kahala or Hawaii Kai.

    Takeout Lunch from a Food Truck in Honolulu, Hawaii... I used to see the "Gyros N Villains" food truck on Kapiolani Boulevard, across from the Convention Center. My initial reaction to it was: That's a clever name! However, I wasn't able to figure out when they were there and where to park. Recently, I saw this food truck in front of Young's Wine & Spirits on the corner of Piikoi Street and Kinau Street. I drove over on Sunday, after church, but they weren't open - it's closed every Sunday. I wrote it on my calendar for the next day so that I wouldn't forget to go. I also looked up their Instagram information... HOURS OF OPERATION: M and Tu from 11am to 2:15pm W, Th, and F from 11am to 8:30pm Sat from 5:45 - 8:30pm It was really worth making a special trip to Gyros N Villains - even though it's "just a food truck" - because of the quality, quantity, and service! I wish I had gotten the name of the gal working in the truck. She was very efficient, organized, and communicated well. She knew that it wasn't easy to find the credit card reader and told me where it was when I was about to ask. She asked me which car was mine so that I could wait in it while she made my meal. (Everything is made fresh - I could hear her chopping the lettuce.) She brought my package to my car! I got three items: 1. Gyros Salad - the fried pita "croutons" were unique and outstanding! 2. Classic Gyro - soft pita, STUFFED with goodness! 3. The "Gyrodilla" Quesadilla - delicious and cheesy, with a slight crisp on the outer tortilla! I told the gal that my friends knew of this food truck when it was in Kaka'ako. She said that this Kinau Street location is the permanent home and that they are in the process of creating a second truck which will be in the Kaka'ako area. As an aside - she said that they weren't in operation for a bit because someone stole their generators. That's terrible! Robbing a small business is shameful! This makes me want to support hard working businesses even more! Praying hard for the continued success of Gyros N Villains!

    Hidden gem! I Recommend! Food truck is off of Piikoi and Kinau, next to the Safeway on Beretania Street. Parked in the parking lot of a small local convenient/liquor store. This place is delicious and very affordable. The staff taking and making my order was really nice. I waited at the shade and the staff member walked my food to me when it was done. I ordered the Classic Gyros. The meat was seasoned well. Loved the crispy edges on the meat. The pita was packed with meat and veggies. Worth the $12! Everything on the menu is well priced!

    Good food and portions. Straight up charges what's on the menu. None of that additional credit card fee that a lot of businesses are doing these days. I appreciate that straight up pricing. Keep it up.

    Pretty Gooood! Pita is nice and soft. Definitely flavorful and a great portion size. Got the food to go so I can't speak on the service but the gyros are delicious.

    Today is was fighting with what I wanted to have as it rained in the morning so I thought soupy...called into work hmmm no lighter. Well I had a appointment beforehand and what was right before my eyes...!!! Done! Gyros N Villains now how can you not, sadly my work schedule overlaps many food trucks so I don't get much chances to frequent them so when I find them I immediately gravitate towards them. The "Zeus" Deluxe Gyro was it for me since it was like the heavens that had called me to this it's basically your classic gyro with double the meat (yeah!) Filled with seasoned beef and lamb strips, lettuce, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, smeared with hummus and topped with that amazing tzatziki sauce oh my gosh it was huge but all the right balance and super yummy filling without giving you the coma I had it right before work and kept be going all night long. I asked where they're usually at and apparently at Mother Waldron Park but plan to be at Cooke Street much more. Follow them on Instagram @gyrosnvillains though they don't provide much information here but hopefully mores in the future. Fresh is all I can say from the meat to the sauce it's all fresh and yummy and can't wait to find them again and know that they're in the area I love that, must try they also have wrap, quesadilla, salads and sides like pita chips and hummus, fries, tots and even Joey bag-a-donuts (12 pcs mini malasadas) Thank you!

    I'm so glad I finally got to try Gyros N Villains! I love gyros and these are delicious! I saw the food truck on Cooke Street and ordered a classic gyro. It was so good I only took a picture after we both started eating. The meat is delicious and the sauce is so good. I would definitely come here again. I just wished they were open longer. But they are a lunch food truck so I understand. I would love to try their salad or some of their other options. But the classic certainly satisfied my gyro craving.

    New spot in the neighborhood! T, TH on Cooke st by the Kaiser building and M, W at mother Waldron park for lunch. lots of options for gyros! I didn't know what to choose, I thought it was cool they have some chicken dishes along with the lamb. I ended up grabbing the philly style, with tater tots. I came by at 11:40 with maybe 3 or 4 ppl ahead of me and waited 10min, it went by real quick. The gyro is huge!! Super filling, I think i'd rather have the original than the philly style, I ended up missing the sauce. The meat was very flavorful and the veggies were fresh and crispy. The tater tots were super fresh and pipping hot, so hot that they melted the top of the ketchup takeout cover! They gave a good amount of tater tots and enough ketchup too. Now that they're so close and in the neighborhood I'm looking forward to trying more things in the menu!

    The menu!

    I see this food truck everyday on my way in to work, wife and I love Greek food. So today was the day we stopped by to try it out! It didn't disappoint either. Wife did the Zeus and I did the Zeus as a salad and got an order of Tots! The menu says lemonade but because they are in the same parking lot as young's wine and spirits they have agreement to only sell water!

    Went on a thursday around 1:30 and there was no line. We ordered the Classic Gyro and the donuts. Portion sizes here are perfect and the flavors are so good. The beef and lamb is so flavorful and moist. The donuts were warm, crunchy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. The girl at the window was also really nice and friendly. Definitely will be back!

    Driving home-I noticed this well lit food truck..my son says-do u want me to turn around? I said YES! I'm so glad I made him turn around . I ordered the combo special-a huge gyro, tater tots, a yummy brownie and an iced tea. It was fabulous!! He made sure to let me know that he'll be there Monday, W, F from 6:30-8:30 (this was at Makiki District Park. I'll definitely be going back..

    You know the saying 'never judge a book by its cover'? It definitely holds true for this place. Located across the street from the Convention Center and next door to Micronesia Mart...it's a place that I've passed by many a time, but never gave it a second glance. Yes, the area is a bit sketchy, but don't let that hold you back from giving them a try. So glad I follow some amazing foodies on IG that post their daily meals around the island, which gives me ideas on where to go next. It was the pita chips that made me so curious about this place. My friend and I shared the Classic Gyro and the pita chips. Both were AMAZING! The Classic Gyro had beef and lamb strips, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions with Tzatziki sauce that's wrapped in a pita. Delicious! The pita chips aren't your average pita chips. They're crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It also comes with their house made red hummus, which is a wonderful complement to the pita chips. Even when I was so full from the food, I still wanted more of those pita chips. Even when I got home I was still thinking about it...lol! There is a little bit of a wait because he makes it fresh, but we were his first customers as soon as he opened so it wasn't too bad. You can park next to Micronesia Mart, but if you go early like we did then you can park in front of Rock ZA. Owner is a single dad with a child that he makes a top priority (love that!), so daytime hours are not always consistent, but nighttime hours are pretty consistent (Tues - Sat 6 - 10 pm;6-2/3 am weekends). I suggest just messaging him on IG ahead of time to find out if he will be open. He's very responsive. Heard they are in the works of getting another truck. Not sure when or where, but am excited for what's in store!

We started with a shrimp elote special and the chicken liver mousse. The shrimp elote was unique and flavorful. The mousse was my favorite thing of the night. So rich and creamy and the cherry marmalade paired so well with it. Love that they provided ample bread to go with it. I had to try the la chancla cocktail - the mayo washed mezcal caught my eye. It sounds a little strange but it was very good and was quite strong. For entrees we got the carbonara and zucchini lemon risotto. The carbonara was really rich and the Portuguese sausage added a nice touch. Looking at pictures of it beforehand I was worried the portion size would be small but it's served on a large bowl making the portion look smaller than it is. The risotto had a refreshing tangy sweetness from the lemon. Both have the option of adding on crispy prosciutto for $4. We didn't but saw some that other people ordered and it looked amazing - next time! One of the servers there provided a great recommendation with a wine pairing for the carbonara and let me try a rose before committing. It wasn't something I would normally have chosen but it worked well and I'm grateful for his helpfulness.

Our server came over and got us started pretty quick. 3 in the group ordered mules and by the time I was ready to order one they ran out of ingredients for mules. This kind of sucked mid way through happy hour and one of the main drinks on that menu is not available. Not to worry, we tried a few of the other selections including the cucumber collins, and the mojito. We also ordered some appetizers and food, the fried mozzarella was very good, along with the wings. The wings were cooked well and were crispy.

It's definitely one of the best butter fish in a non-Japanese restaurant. It's buttery, with the perfect level of the miso flavor that's not salty or blend/no miso flavor. The fish it's cooked into perfection that's not overcooked. Although it's pricery compare to other dishes, but it's worth it; especially the butter fish is a pretty big size that comes w/ salad and rice. Grilled Garlic Chicken 4.5/5: The garlic chicken is not the same as a regular garlic chicken that you get from a barbecue restaurant; it doesn't have that barbecue sauce flavor. However, it's still taste pretty good. The garlic flavor is there, but not so strong that over power the taste of the chicken. More importantly, chicken is not overcooked as some restaurants can overcook the chicken. However, it comes w/ gravy on top of the chicken. If you eat it w/ the gravy, you probably will it be able to taste the garlic. Mac Nut Waffard 4.5/5 This is not the regular waffles. This "waffard" it's the Mac nut waffle that comes with their iconic custard, fruits and whipped cream. The waffle is super soft & fluffy with a crispy outside edges. Also, the waffle is not mushy, rather, it has a slightly mochi/chewy texture. The waffle is also not over sweet that actually can be pair with their famous custard fillings. Pancakes 5/5 I normally not a pancake person because I am afraid that it can be over sweet or very bland that has no taste but a flour flavor. But I fall in love with the pancake at first try because it's soooo fluffy and soft! More importantly, it's not sweet that actually can be paired with syrup and butter. However, it's also not bland that can be just eaten by itself without syrup or butter. Hands down on it! Plus, the size of the pancake is actually pretty big.

    So so good, Hawaiian classic. It was our first spot as soon as we landed and so glad it was the…read more1st!

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
