Food is also good, with some dishes better than others. Their shoyu chix is my favorite and the chili is decent, but a little different the most local chilis. They also have specs tie noodles for their Mac salad. It's pretty good, it's not heavy mayonnaise. Their taco salad is also pretty good.

Got the Pesto Mahi. Not sure if that was pesto or how old the mahi is. Something in the plate…read moresmelled bad. I think maybe was the pesto since it didn't taste like pesto. Tasted like a nutty mayo...weird b/c it was a little green. Mahi was dry. Mac salad was okay. I liked the skinny noodles and wasn't super mayo-y. Rice was okay. Was cooked well so that was good enough for me. Ate mainly rice and dumped the rest. 2 stars b/c worker really nice, and b/c I could still eat the rice.

Atb$18 for each, it's reasonably priced and their portions are large enough to have leftovers. The porchetta sandwich is packed with thinly sliced pork and slivers of crispy skin, lots of peppery arugula, and a spicy sauce. It's a very tasty and filling sandwich. Their bread is also very good. The half chicken plate is such a good deal! The organic chicken half is very large and meaty, and it comes with roasted vegetables and potatoes. Easily 2 meals. Service is very friendly and our cashier let us know it would be 8-10 minutes before our order would ve ready. It's nice to see a local business continue to provide excellent food at a reasonable price.

Awesome service but food was very salty. We tried:…read more- signature porchetta sandwich - yummy flavor but pork was quite salty. They give a lot of pork so you can make another sandwich or eat it with rice when you get home - half chicken and roasted veges - the roasted veges were super yummy, perfectly cooked. The chicken just came out of the rotisserie, yet it was fairly dry. Plus super salty on the outside. Squeezing the lemon and dipping with the chimichuri type sauce was tasty. But also needs rice or something to soak up all the saltiness. - farro salad - was ok. It's a lot and doesnt keep. - rosemary lemonade - was ok

It was a good price and it even comes with corn salad and rice. After I paid for it, I noticed the empanada too. Wow an empanada at a Korean place? He explained the seasonings he used in the meat is what he used in bulgogi? I think that was what he said. I decided to get 2 since you save a little when getting 2. Good thing because it was so delicious and flavorful that I ate the 2nd one instead of sharing with mom! In fact, I like it better than the chicken. It's only because I like the chicken to be little more crispier. Perhaps could keep the sauce on the side next time. The empanadas were good even after hours. The dessert called Du-Jjon-ball ( chewy Dubai ball), I would have to try next time. I want to try their other sides dishes here too. There were two type of flavoring for chicken. The two sauces were soy garlic and sweet chili. If you can't decide, you can even have a combo by ordering "Can't Decide?' plate. Soy garlic sauce doesn't have a strong garlic flavor and it was on a sweeter side. I have to try their sweet chili sauce or request to have the sauce in the side. Perhaps because I love twice fried chicken since it's stays really crispy for a while which this wasn't but it was moist and good. Looking at the menu at home, next time I'll try their #5 menu items of a mix of 2 piece chicken, spicy pork and bulgogi or spicy bulgogi. I could have added other items to my chicken plate for additional cost! The sides looked so good to share if you come in a group like, spam kimchee fried rice,bulgogi melt, tteokbokki, spam fries, bulgogi fries and even Ramyum and japchae! I have to come back for more!

Located this hidden gem in Waterfront plaza after my dentist appt the other day. Prices are great…read morehere and food prions are generous! They have a variety of local dishes and breakfast options for a great price. I got their honey garlic chicken and their hamburger steak with gravy combo with tossed salad and rice.

Hungry for breakfast…read more.. I was in the area and decided to take this convenient area instead of driving around for breakfast and found Wiki Wiki Drive Inn. Offering the usual local "drive in" faves of combination plate, mochiko chicken, sandwiches, and all the breakfast fixings and decided to get the "Eggs & Meat" Mini for $6 and it came with a choice of Portuguese sausage, bacon, link sausage, smoke sausage, spam or ham...whew that's a bunch of choices! along with a scoop of rice it was a great breakfast deal. There was just a single lady working it all making it a bit of a wit for your order if you're in a rush some had made some phone orders which is smart if you already always in the area as parking is very convenient and a great location as there are many seating area already provided by Waterfront Plaza so that you can chill and enjoy your breakfast but don't forget here it's a minimum of $5 for parking validation...super easy! Thank you!

If you were to eat anything from this place without knowing where it came from you'd never believe…read moreit was a lunch wagon. There's no wagon I've ever been to with this level of quality. The Furikake MahiMahi is my favorite. I've not had it better anywhere else. They have good garlic chicken too. Here's a link to the complete menu, though I think it's a little outdated: http://home.hawaii.rr.com/transitions/menub.pdf Everything always tastes fresh and they're always very friendly. Go on the early side or call ahead. By noon there's always a bunch of people standing around. If you go late there's a good chance they'll be out of whatever you were hoping to get. Fact of life for a wagon like this.

I stopped going to farmer's markets because it was just the same vendors and items every time and I…read morecan only eat so much hand pulled noodle or Spätzle (shout out to Youpo Noodles and Little Sparrow, respectively). But I had a gift card on the verge of expiration at a vendor found only at the Saturday Ward Farmer's Market. Walking around hoping that there was new stuff, my optimism was rewarded when I founded Guaya, a seemingly new vendor selling Cuban style sandwiches, something definitely lacking in Hawaii's food scene. A quick google search to check reviews, which didn't bring up much but a legit interview on KHON rested my nerves. I ordered the only item on their menu: a Cuban sandwich, which is ham, roast pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard in a pressed sandwich. After a short wait, out came a delicious, hot bundle of goodness. Full of flavor, balanced, with a decent crunch on the bread. The meats were tender, the cheese was perfectly melted and I didn't have to fly to Miami to get it. You probably should share this or limit your brunch to just this as it's a lot of food. The awesome owner also sells some merchandise off their website/instagram if you want to indulge in more than just food. So if you're tired of the regular same old food at farmer's markets, look for this booth and get yourself a tasty, tasty sandwich. Just eat some vegetables later as this isn't exactly health food.

The Adobo is done very well, with meaty chunks of pork in a slightly vinegary sauce; not too salty, with a hint of sweetness. They also changed up the side dish, and instead of the scoop of corn, they included macaroni salad. It's a nice change, and I'm hoping it stays this way for awhile. The service is always fast, which is great because everyone usually parks right in front (not in an actual stall), rather than 50 feet further down in the actual spaces. I need to find more reasons to come into town as an excuse to stock up more often.

In a world where plate lunches are creeping toward $20, this place keeps it real with hot, freshly…read moreprepared food for $5/$8including a generous portion of protein, rice, and corn. I love that the food is cooked in the kitchen directly behind the stand, then kept warm in a stainless steel storage container. Simple, no-frills local comfort food done right. The shoyu chicken, hamburger steak with gravy, and roast pork with gravy are my usual go-to lunch items. This isn't about fancy presentation. It's about getting a quick, satisfying meal without wrecking your wallet. Let's be real, the food is not going to win a James Beard award but it's definitely satisfying. Especially with the gravy and rice. Awe yeah that's just down home comfort foods. Service is fast and efficient. Walk up, order your food, and you're back in the car within minutes. Definitely a solid value and an easy repeat stop. FYI, they typically sell out by about 1pm. Happy Eating!! 22

This was one of the first places we walked by as we arrived at Eat the Street (01/29/16 - luau…read moretheme). We were instantly drawn in by an offer for a free sample. I enjoyed the mango sriracha so much I retuned after eating my dinner. Each slice of bacon was $5.00 (its about 18 inches of a thick cut of bacon) so I ordered the mango sriracha and the pineapple Li hing mui. However, after being offered an additional slice for $2.00 more, I chose peanut butter as well. A plain piece of bacon is taken out and generously ladled with the flavor you choose. The mango sriracha was hot but not uncomfortably so - and, if you wanted to kick it up a notch, you could add chili pepper flakes (I chose not to). The peanut butter was my least favorite flavor. It had chunks of peanuts in the sauce poured over it that clung to the bacon. Just not for me. Lastly, the pineapple Li hing mui flavor was super delicious! After drenching the bacon in a thick liquid pineapple concoction, Li hing mui powder was generously sprinkled over the entire piece. Yum! Yum! Yum! After trying all three flavors offered, I'm looking forward to seeing these guys again! I'm a sucker for bacon. But bacon on a skewer!? I'm so down! (Sorry no pictures of the bacon! It was gobbled up too fast!!)

While chatting with one of my new friends at a table I noticed another person munching on a item that looked very interesting. It turned out to be bacon on a stick. I was informed by the individual that it came in three different flavors. After spending time with my friends it was off to spend time with my cousin and her husband. While they stood in line at another food vendor I had used my IG video to tape the employee from Wild Candy Bacon Company drizzle a stick of bacon with one of the flavors. It looked so interesting that I stood in line for some bacon on a stick. I noticed on the menu board that it was $5.00 for one stick or 3 for $12.00. I opted to try all three flavors: mango sriracha, peanut butter, and li hing pineapple. Watching the employee drizzle the first stick with the mango sriracha and he says "I believe you will be the last one to receive the remaining sriracha glaze." He then asked if I wanted some pepper flakes on it which I declined. The second bacon on a stick was drizzled with peanut butter sauce and then altered sprinkled with chops of peanuts. The last stick was drizzled with a glaze that had chunks of pineapple and the li hing powder was sprinkled on afterwards. I took my purchase and walked around to find a spot to eat. I took a bite of the li hing pineapple flavored bacon and the bacon was nice and crispy. The glaze was sweet and I made a mess out of myself. Drips of glaze all on my pants and sticky fingers too. I ate the mango sriracha second and can taste the hotness. It was delicious. The last one to eat was the peanut butter bacon on a stick. That one was okay. Overall I enjoyed the mango sriracha and the li hing pineapple. I just need to remember to grab some napkins the next time around. As an active Yelper I also created the business page for the company. Hopefully this company will be one of the vendors in future Eat the Street events. 56/200
