Visiting this food truck was one of the highlights of our trip. The food was amazing and the owner…read morewas so welcoming that he made us feel special. We were hungry in the morning, so we got here just after they opened. There was lots of parking and while our Poi rolls were cooking we had a chance to chat with the owner Dennis. I have been to Hawaii a dozen times and was never a fan of Poi because I never tasted a dish that was prepared properly. We went to a picnic the previous day that had a donut like pasty made with Poi. It was delicious and totally changed my opinion. Based on that experience I wanted to try the signature Poi dog. We opted for the spicy version. It was so tasty with the matching condiments. If you are a foodie that wants to try something unique, be sure to give it a try. Dennis has another location in Waikiki that also sells Banh-Mi sandwiches. This is one of my weekly options for lunch at home, so we will be visiting the other location for dinner!

A must try on the island! I wish I was joking but I would fly to Hawaii for just this alone…read more Love that they serve vegetarian dogs, love the different tropical relishes and love the taro bun. The perfect amount of sweet and savory all in one bite. The owner is so friendly and welcoming, the three times that we have gone over the years, he would go above and beyond. He is right that it wasn't the same business as years ago, but if you're reading this I hope it brings your spark back, even just a little.

They make you pay for parking. Most of the trucks were closed or just took cash. You couldn't sit any just any table. You had to have ordered from that cart to use the table. We left. The whole thing was very disappointing. I will say my family was HANGRY. It played a part in the absolutely no patience

And on one of my last walk in Waikiki, I got on of his hotdogs. John and his staff were incredibly welcoming. He's originally from Philly, and as someone from the East Coast, I immediately felt that warm hospitality. John is so sweet, he even offered me the hot dog on the house... completely unexpected, but a true reflection of John's demeanor. I went with the chicken hot dog "John style" (well that is everything but the sauerkraut). I wasn't hesitate about the mustard because I'm usually not a fan but the staff insisted it was more like Dijon mustard anyways. The hotdog was loaded, flavorful, and way better than I expected for someone who usually keeps it simple with the toppings. The bun broke down a bit from all the toppings, but that was to be expected with all the toppings loaded on there. You can't beat the location, it's right outside the Ilikai by the lagoon though the service alone makes this an easy five stars. I'm really happy this ended up being one of my last food experiences living in Hawaii. I'd be eager to see John and his staff again if I return.

I hope they really start thinking about improving their cleanliness, customer service, and their food. The food was sloppy and honestly tasted like it had just been sitting there for some time. The hot dog was RUBBERY and the bread was hard. The customer service felt careless and rushed too. On top of all of that, the cleanliness wasn't the best. When I tell you we tried to force ourselves to eat the food because we were starving and EVERYTHING else always closes so early. Between the customer service, the cleanliness and food it's definitely not worth the price.
