The good news is it is fast so if you wait a little bit, someone is likely to finish up and leave. The ambience is definitely casual since it is a truck.

I read rave reviews on here for the fish tacos so I orderes them and they did not disappoint. The vegan sour cream is so creamy, thr coleslaw is perfectly tangy and crunchy, and the vegan fish is delightful. My husband got the chicken tacos which were hot, in contrast to the fish tacos. They had avocado and a green sauce and we also liked these though the fish were our favorite. The hibiscus lemonade was lovely and refreshing also. The service here is very fast. We basically ordered and then looked around at the other truck menus and by that time our food was ready! I would definitely recommend this place especially for vegetarians and vegans and would love to come back!

It is way beyond a basic wrap with a real multitude of flavors and textures from the marinated chicken, coleslaw, and three house made sauces. The vibes were high and it ended up being such a delightful lunch break. They even offer a student discount if you show your student ID. The man working was incredibly kind and helpful, took the time to help us decide what to order, mentioned he could make items more or less spicy depending on our preference, and even offered to cut our sandwich since we were splitting it. Great music playing the whole time made the experience even better. We are already planning to come back tomorrow because it was that good. Highly recommend.

I ordered the shrimp scampi and this was also the first time in my life I had ever peeled shrimp. There is apparently a science to it. First, you lick off all that butter and garlic from the shell. Then you peel the shrimp. Much better system. The shrimp were garlicky, buttery, messy, and completely worth the effort. I ate all 12. It came with two scoops of rice, which was more than I needed, so one scoop went to the chickens, zebra doves and magpies hanging around the tables. They were very happy with that arrangement. Feed them on the side not in the shed, otherwise... I also signed the truck wall, because once you are there, you kind of have to. Not fancy, not polished, also Not Cheap but still a very fun North Shore food stop. And I would eat those 12 shrimp again

No dining in, and all takeout but plenty of outside seating and staff cleaning. Ordered the nachos and takes about 10m or less. The best part was the meat, unfortunately it stops there. Starting from the top, it is covered in jalapeños that can be removed, the "salsa" is large cut tomatoes and there are pinto beans with shredded cheese. The chips were stale and greasy, and there was a weird after taste. It looks like there is nacho cheese (fake) on the chips that made them soggy. The cheese either separated and made it greasy or they fried the chips. Unfortunately I ended up eating the meat and tossed the rest. I personally will not be returning.

Beautiful day here in hawaii. Came to the north shore craving some garlic shrimp. I was too hungry…read moreand stopped at this food truck right next to the foodlands with my friend. Unfortunately I should have had more patience. First off my friend tried to ask for the garlic butter ahi plate and the cashier said the ahi would take 30 minutes, but then the person in the kitchen corrected them and said it would actually take only 15 minutes because it would be fresh. So he tried to go down the line and pick something else from the specials but they were all ahi. And unfortunately he's allergic to shrimp so he couldn't choose the shrimp plates but honestly it's probably for the better. The garlic shrimp was mid. And even worst the rice was soggy almost as if I made it (and I don't make good rice). Also the salad was discolored and lacked freshness. The shrimps were also tiny af. Luckily, for my friend, however his plate ended up only taking about 10 minutes, which is good. But he wasn't too pleased with his meal either. Both our rices tasted almost spoiled in a way, my friend said it felt and tasted like it wasn't fresh as if it was made yesterday. And I was needing a napkin, my friend went to get me one, and came back saying how they emphasize to just "take one" napkin. Which I can understand to a certain point, but he got the impression she really didn't want him to take more than just one. Which is pretty silly cause when you're eating garlic shrimp it gets really messy. The only good thing about this place is that it has a beautiful view of the water and they were playing the Beatles and we're in Hawaii. But if I were you, I'd totally pass this tourist trap, and head elsewhere. This place claims to have the best fish plates but they lack TLC and quality food. Honestly probably the worst meal I've had of the year. I was ready to finish my meal. My friend and I both agreed this place lacked a bit of aloha.

This past time, I went to the Bald Guy with my nephew and we got the Furikake salmon. As we locals would say, Da buggah was Ono and wen brok da mout! Translation: The food was scrumptious and my taste buds still dream of that moment. My nephew who was visiting said it was his TOP memory of his trip. We've taken him to other locations and he said things were ok, but the salmon made him want to come back just for that. If you're heading around Kahuku, make sure you check out Da Bald Guy!

They have the best Mac salad with a lot of smoked paprika, it just sucks that they put such a small scoop. Unfortunately the rice I got today was just a touch dry/undercooked. The plates are good but $20 is right on the border of being worth it - I would feel a lot better paying that if the rice was better and they gave more Mac salad. There's other great options nearby for a few dollars cheaper. Also, they used to have blackened fish that was fire. They got rid of that for furikake salmon.

It's a little hidden gem located just before you turn into the Kahuku food truck pod. Go slow because you'll miss it. Look for the sign and the gravel lot on the right as you head towards the food trucks. Parking a little tricky but you can either find parking in the gravel lot or park in the main one and walk over. Hidden in the corner behind ferns and plants you'll find a little stand manned by very sweet people. "Uncle" takes your order and "auntie" whips up the funnel cake. Please be patient because they are made fresh to order. We got the fully loaded ($13). Recommend getting this one! Comes hot topped with ice cream, fresh banana slices, chocolate and strawberry syrup and whipped cream and powdered sugar. Whoa! It's pretty big so get ito share. If you can't decide there's another option where you can get 3 smaller ones with different toppings like cinnamon. But no mess around - just get the Fully Loaded. The funnel cake wasn't soaked in grease but nice and light with a perfect crunch. We sat at one of the 2 red picnic tables and devoured it in less than 10 minutes . The sign didn't lie- it WAS the best funnel cake in Hawaii!

We ended up saving our leftovers for another meal. I wanted to eat more in one sitting but I was so full. The bf was satisfied to finally try an authentic Mexican spot in town.
