    Best smoke meat and Korean chicken I ever had. Very generous portions. One plate is big enough for two meals. Highly recommended.

    tldr: Crazy good Hawaiian comfort food from a trending food cart Discovering Habu's food cart was a complete spur of the moment: decided to grab lunch at a local food cart congregation and ended up finding one of my favorite local go-to spots for some meat and rice. The picture is pretty self explanatory already but all you gotta know is that the smoked meats are irresistible. Better watch out or you end up eating the loaded plate they serve you. Owner of the food cart is super easy to talk to and you can tell he cares about the food he serves. He wants you to simply have a great time and to leave stuffed and satisfied. Give them a try when you need some quick eats that's heavy enough to save another meal for later.

    Spicy smoked meat and the spicy chicken

    So incredibly good. We stopped here on a whim and have no regrets. We got the spicy smoked meat and spicy chicken. The chicken was so tender and the smoked meat is was so good. Highly recommend!! We will be coming back.

    We came and tried the spicy chicken mixed plate and Kalua Pig mixed plate. The chicken was amazing. It was juicy and full of flavorful. We were greeted and Habu even walked the food over to us. Great food with amazing customer service. I will be back!

    Been here 3 times... small menu but food is amazing. Sticks to what he does best!!! Best smoke chicken I have had in a long while. Asked chef if he had cabbage in his Kailua pork. He said no because he wanted to make sure there are no fillers and gives each customer a good amount of food!! Awesome little food cart you need to give him a try!!

    I got the mixed plate with 3 meats: Kalua pork, chicken & smoked pork. Kalua pork is tender and juicy, chicken's well marinated and slightly charred to my liking. The smoked pork is so good; it's glazed, smoky and charred. Just all around awesome!

    Try out this Hawaiian smoke meat truck! Plenty of parking and clean area to sit and eat. Menu's small but the food is delicious. Owner is a cool bruddah from the 808, come support his truck and have a taste of paradise!

    He even sells the smoked meat in 1lb bags! Grab them when you can!

    I've tried to eat here twice only to find it closed at odd times. Is there a way to confirm the hours?

    They post at times on their Instagram account where they are at if away and hours for the food cart, but it is inconsistent. They also do a lot of company events, so it takes them away from the food cart. The food is really good, bummer you have…

    We were in Portland visiting my cousin for the weekend and we wanted to grab a quick light dinner…read moresince we had a super heavy lunch around 3pm. My cousin mentioned this place and we were hesitant to try it. He said they had great reviews and was in New York Times, but we were still hesitant to try it because we didn't care much for Pizza- nor were we craving it. It was me, my 15-year-old daughter, my brother, my sister in-law and my cousin. We were greeted but the most friendliest staff I've ever encountered IN MY LIFE. You order and pay at the counter and find a seat. They have an area where you can get your own waters as well. We ordered the Pho Pizza, Banh Mi Pizza, and the Chicken Satay Pizza. I wanted to order the Pandamn ice cream but they ran out as well as their tiramisu desserts. In my head I wanted to take away 1 star but then I tried the pizza. Pho - 10/10 First bite and I could NOT stop smiling. It was SOOO good! This was the groups favorite. My brother doesn't even like sprouts but it worked very well with the pizza. It was like eating pho but on bread. OMG my mouth is salivating just thinking about it and I can't even get it now because I'm in the Bay Area. Banh Mi - 100/10 This was my personal favorite. It was basically like an open Banh Mi with a hint of pizza. The flavors were amazing and I loved the pickled daikon and carrots on top! I'm not sure if refreshing would be the right world, but I know amazing would be another way I would describe this. I live in San Jose and I go to San Francisco often so I'm actually pretty disappointed in the Bay Area for not having anything like this. Satay Pizza - 9/10 To be honest, we were already getting full but because it tasted so good, we finished this one too. The sauce was a creamy curry sauce (I think with a hint of coconut) and had some peanuts sprinkled on top which gave it more flavor and a nice texture. Lastly, the pizza crust tasted AMAZING. It had a slight crisp to it but it was fluffy in the inside, kind of like Mochi bread. We literally left no crumbs! 1000/10 would recommend this place!

    Recently came here for the second time and was delighted to learn that it is down the street from…read morethe Patricia Reser Center for the Arts, a venue that I am at quite often for choral performances. This place is a must-try!! The Korean burrata salad is incredible, so flavorful and delicious with every bite. This time I tried their monthly flavor of pizza, the chicken satay, and it was very satisfying! The wood-fired crust pairs well with the yuzu ranch, if that is your thing. Since I'm from SE, I will definitely be coming here when I find myself at the Reser!

    Tucked into a strip mall -- the kind of place you'd drive right past if you didn't already know it…read morewas there -- Zen Teriyaki has quietly become my new go-to for teriyaki rice bowls. I've been on the hunt since my old spot closed down, and this place is exactly what I was looking for. We ordered the chicken teriyaki and the short ribs. Both were excellent. The chicken comes with rice and -- this is the part that surprised me -- an actual green side salad with a house dressing I've never encountered anywhere else. It's genuinely good and worth paying attention to. But the real star is how they cook the meat. You know how some teriyaki places essentially boil the chicken in sauce? Not here. The sauce is applied like a glaze, and the meat has that char on it. That's the way it should be done, and it makes all the difference. The value for the money is excellent. The staff is friendly and helpful. The space is early strip mall -- I wouldn't plan a dinner date here -- but it's clean and completely unpretentious. The food is the whole reason to go, and the food delivers. If you know teriyaki and you've been looking for a reliable spot, this is it.

    Stopped in for lunch because I was craving some chicken. I got the chicken teriyaki bowl and…read moreinstead of rice and veggies I subbed out the rice for an extra side of veggies. The chicken was great as were the veggies. Also for $11 I think the price was definitely worth it. The veggies are comparable to Panda Express, which isn't a bad thing, that's just what I thought of. I ordered to go and it took less than 10 mins to get my food out so that was great! While it's not the most amazing chicken teriyaki in the world, it's a great tasting and affordable option if you're looking to grab a quick lunch. I'd eat here again and maybe try their spicy tofu or something, that sounded good when I saw it on the menu. But yea, solid lunch spot!
