    You hungry... This is the place to knock it off your to do list and thankfully I happen upon them when I was browsing around at Harbor Vintage on South Beretania St and this carnivore spot has creatively utilized their 1/4lb patty in many different ways and as I glanced at the menu they had me at pickled jalapeños. Patty Melt definitely has a lot going from the soy balsamic mushrooms, red onions, muenster cheese and their yummy homemade ranch on both sides of the sourdough bread grilled to perfection really got me excited and it comes with chips but decided to upgrade with a green salad for +$2. I also got the loaded tater tots which is topped with pickled jalapeños, bacon bits, chopped up crispy cheese is like dried cheese and wasn't my favorite but the white lightning drizzle is their homemade ranch I couldn't get enough of was amazing and wished that I got extra sauce. Portions are very generous and can easily feed two is totally worth the wait as everything is obviously made to order so be prepared to have a short wait but loved the vibe and the staff who makes it all work and satisfied my hungry belly. Thank you!

    Got the Man Child burger and the jalapenos/bacon paired very well - heard lots of compliments from the other passerby who got the other flavors as well. Hoping to revisit again - staff was super nice and chill - Miguel Morales Photography

    PARTY MELT n' THE DOUBLE DRAGON

    @fortunefoodfinds: "It's FRY-day, let's PARTY! Finally got the chance to check out HUNGRY JON'S PLACE last Friday at the Koolau Night Market located in the parking lot of Windward Mall near Leonards n' Target. PARTY MELT: 1/4 LB PATTY, WHITE LIGHTNING SAUCE, MUENSTER CHEESE, CRISPY CHEESE SKIRT, SOY BALSAMIC MUSHROOMS, SLIVERED FRESH RED ONION, PICKLED JALAPENOS, BACON, ALL ON GRILLED SOURDOUGH ROUNDS. THE DOUBLE DRAGON: 2 QTR LB PATTIES, 2 SLICES OF AMERICAN CHEESE, DEEP CARAMELIZED ONIONS, MAN-CHILD SAUCE, ON GRILLED BRIOCHE. Just thinking about these makes me hungry. Now I know where to go when in da mood, for comfort food!" Staff: fully staffed Exterior: food truck Wait time: 15-20 mins Parking: mall lot Overall comments: Both were devoured in minutes. The crispy cheese n' pickled jalapeños were just some of the highlights of the Party Melt, but everything just came together n' was literally a party. The Double Dragon brought the cheeseburger vibes you feen for n' even my 4 year old loved it. Fries were crispy n' well seasoned. Wanna try out more menu items on my next visit!

    Saw their food truck during an event and decided to check it out, as their prices were pretty reasonable. I got their ManChild burger which had bacon and toasty cheese, and my friend got the Party Melt. Both of them came with kettle chips. I enjoyed the burger, was a pretty typical take out burger but with kettle chips instead of fries. Although, my friend and I agreed it was a bit too greasy for our taste, but still pretty good. It's worth a try if craving a burger.

    As the ultimate burger lovers, I knew we had to try! Hungry Jon's has been on my radar for some time now since I've seen the truck in my neighborhood. Located at the Pearlridge night market this time. They had a TV screen on their truck that played all the different photos of all their signature foods on the menu. This had me drooling while I passed by weighing out my options, good marketing lol. Very nice and friendly workers! Order estimated around 15 minutes. Cash or card accepted. We decided on the Warhammer ($16) and Manchild ($12) which came with a side of crispy kettle chips. The Warhammer was delicious! Hot, very juicy, bacon makes everything better. I chose the Man child since I couldn't resist once I saw the "cheese skirt" which was interesting. Sadly, my burger wasn't warm and the cheese skirt ended up being more mushy than crispy. Maybe mine sat a little longer while the other burger was being made. They were also out of caramelized onions, but I bet that would have made it taste better. Nevertheless, I still appreciated the burger truck concept and I would come back to try other items! Hungry for more!

    We ran into Hungry Jon's food truck at the Harley Davidson car show last night where we brought our lowrider, and thank God they were there because I didn't even know this truck existed until now. We grabbed two burgers: my boyfriend went full caveman with the War-Hammer ($19) and I got Ethan's Old-School Teri Burger ($13). Both come with chips, but you can upgrade to fries for $3. I figured one fry upgrade would be enough for us to share but honesty, the fries were good and seasoned well, but the portion was really small, too small for the $3 upgrade anyway. Its the kind of portion that makes you feel like you're on a diet you never signed up for. If you think youll be able to sneak a few fries off your partners plate and it not be noticed, think again. Lol Just upgrade your own. His War-Hammer was solid, but a little pricey to not come with fries. My Teri burger though? Absolute religious experience. I've been dealing with health stuff that makes it hard to eat much, but I inhaled half of this thing like I'd just been released from prison for selling bootleg Limewire DVDs. The patty was pounded thin, like the balding tires on my Audi after hitting all these Dillingham pot-holes but it was enough for me. The Teri sauce was straight-up crack in condiment form. I said it reminded me of Subway's sweet onion teriyaki sauce, but my boyfriend said it reminded him of the old Kenny's Burger House in Kalihi (back in the 90s). He was having childhood flashbacks like he had been in the Vietnam War. This burger has me walking around scratching my neck like them batu-fiend night walkers in chinatown. Them Vegans are missing out for sure because this burger alone was enough to turn PETA into a tailgate party Definitely going back!

    Party melt

    Omg !!!!! Yum!! I got the party melt. EVERY SINGLE BITE WAS SO FLAVORFUL. The ingredients and combinations of this burger/sandwhich whatever it is was amazing. I just finished my burger and I am already anticipating for the next time I'll eat it again.

    Lily D put this lunch truck on my radar months ago but I wasn't able to come visit till recently. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of going to lunch trucks but the sandwiches here looked legit and she said they were good so I had to give them a try. Hungry Jon's Place is a black lunch truck that is on Kaheka St next to American Savings Bank in the Pan Am Building. I texted in my order so that I could eat the sandwiches as quickly as possible around 10:30am. They replied back with the menu for the day with specials and told me that my pick up time was 11:45am. I was so excited to try them out that I arrived a little early so I paid first and waited for my order to be completed. Both cash and credit cards are accepted. They didn't take long to get my order out. It smelled amazing on the drive home. My order was 1 Party Melt and 1 Chunky Cheese. Both orders came with chips. The menu board stated they were sold out which is great for them. They seem to have a loyal following as most people there have tried several menu items from what I overheard. Seems like preordering is the way to go as a few customers just walked by and was sad they were sold out. Originally I wanted 1 Patty Melt, 1 Korean Braised Beef Sandwich and 1 Pothead. With their menu changing weekly, I was glad because their Chunky Cheese sandwich was amazing! The jalapeños added a nice kick to the sandwich and the bread on both sandwiches were still crispy when I ate them. Between both sandwiches, I enjoyed the Chunky Cheese more. You get amazing sandwiches for a great price. Customer service was friendly and you gotta love supporting a local husband and wife business. Solid spot and they lived up to Lily D's hype.

    This food truck near donki (Kaheka) has been open for several weeks now. They're either parked by the detached parking structure or near the church. I just drove around the block to try to find their gray truck the day i went. I literally heard about this truck because of IG. I actually have 2 IG accounts (one to post food and one for my dog). One day i noticed in stories that another newer dog account mentioned that they owned a food truck, so of course i was willing to try it! You can always count me in when it involves food! They also have really strange hours and only open on Sundays and Mondays from 10-2pm. I found out that they also have other full time jobs, so this explains the strange business hours. Luckily for me - i was off today so i was able to go down and try! I've attempted to come down prior but something i went to that day took way too long and didn't make it back into town in time. They are also the cutest husband and wife duo. That is amazing to want to work with your significant other, because i think i would go crazy! LOL. They had 3 Sandwiches & 1 Soup available this Sunday - I opted for the Kahula Yaki which was typically Kalua pork w/Teri Sauce. The sandwich also came with a side of chips or salad. I opted for the chips. The sandwich was also so big its sharable between two people as well. All sandwiches are $12 and really good. I cant wait to try other ones they have in the making as long as it's nothing healthy and only veggies, LOL. You're also allowed to bring your 2 or 4 legged children since it is a food truck and they're parked along the street. If you have a 4 legged child - they do sell dog treats for ($6). These treats are made by the wife. They were so kind let Simba sample some of their treats. The flavor was chicken and pumpkin and it breaks apart similar to a Ryoken bar for smaller portions if you're familiar with that brand. Cash, Credit, or Venmo is accepted.

    It's beautiful

    I was craving a burger and saw the banner to the Kaiser Farmer's Market and decided to take a chance. I'm so happy I stumbled across Hungry Jon's Place! The prices were extremely reasonable and the burger was fantastic. I ordered the Manchild burger and really enjoyed every bite. I think that they should add a blue cheese burger with the cheese skirt, I think it'd be super epic! The service was also fantastic. Very nice duo!

    Saw their food truck at Koolau's night market earlier. There was a slight wait, but the burger and fries were delicious! The prices were also quite reasonable. :)

    Typical Burger - sourdough bread, beef patty, bacon, red onion, lettuce and tomato with chips
    Craig S.

    My co-workers have been raving about this truck for months. I finally took the plunge since they were located near the office. Today's specials were four burger selections and a salmon sandwich. Their soup of the day was corn chowder. I chose the Typical Burger which consisted of grilled sourdough bread, hamburger patty, bacon, pickle, red onions, lettuce and tomato. It was topped with their "typical" sauce which was similar to thousand island dressing and served with kettle style chips. The sandwich was big, messy and delicious. I had to get extra napkins. You can follow them on social media to see where they will be located. They also encourage you to call ahead to place your order.

It was ~$30 and easily shareable with 2-3 people. Everything tasted great and I loved the smokey flavor and bbq sauce. Beef brisket and short rib were kinda tough and chewy. It came with three sides so I got cole slaw, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. Cole slaw and Mac and cheese were solid; Potato salad was just alright. They also gave one warm bun too. The reason I gave 3 stars was because service was extremely slow. It seemed like they were short staff and had one person at the cash register AND getting the food. He would take a few orders, and then grab the food. When I arrived, he was grabbing food for multiple folks so then I stood there waiting like 15 just to place my order. Then when he restarted and took my order, he took like 5 more orders before grabbing the food so then I waited even longer for another 15 min. That's 30 min of waiting! Also he wasn't serving food in the order that orders were received so it felt actually felt even longer. There needs to be a better system! Surprisingly he did a employee discount on my order. Not sure if it's because it was close to closing time. Btw they charge extra if you order to-go because of the supplies for packaging. I think food is alright but wouldn't return and wait that long for bbq.

It was love at first bite for me with musubi and onigiri, so when I saw a spot dedicated to this deliciousness you better believe I made a point to go there! I ran even faster when StaciLei, Yelp Hawaii's amazing Community Manager, told me it's a must and gave me her list of greatest hits and must not miss items as a guide! Now I've had a lot of these in my life, and I must say, Iyasume are easily the best. See musubi and onigiri have humble origins as a quickly made homespun snack or on the go lunch, and when you spot them in the convenience environment they're often a giant ball of rice with a tinge of protein or seasoning for flavor. At Iyasume, these are culinary adventures, stacked with ingredients, all in handheld form, and the variety they offer is IMPRESSIVE! Of course musubi starts with the classic, SPAM. I had to order the kimchi + spam, shiso + spam, and unagi + tamago + spam, all of which were awesome (even the next day!). Onigiri here are actually layered with ingredients, so you get them in every bite, unlike the convenience store versions! They have a HUGE menu, and I went with spicy mentaiko and salmon, spicy mentaiko and ikura, ikura and salmon, and tuna mayo curry, all of which were great. I LOVE that they make these to order. You can see the line in the back hard at work, and they're very fast. You're sure to encounter a line when you arrive, but don't be scared, it moves quickly. I only had to wait about 5 minutes for mine to come up! Well worth it. Reasonably priced. Very filling. A taste of Hawaii and Japan in one place that'll have everyone smiling!

    Nothing against Waikiki Chicken in Paradise, but I'm not going to lie - I had no idea the mini food…read moretruck park they're located in even existed, let alone had them on my list of bookmarks. However, after having to abandon our original dinner plans, we were no less intrigued after randomly stumbling across this place. While they may not have been our first choice for dinner, coming here was far more appealing than eating fast food or at the nearby IHOP! Although seeing so many folks at this mini food truck park may have been what caught our attention, it was the boxes of fried chicken on nearly every table that swayed us to try Waikiki Chicken in Paradise in particular. After skimming the menu, it wasn't hard to see why they were such a popular choice - everything on it sounded great. Granted, that's not overly difficult when there are only eight items to choose from, but tough to argue with the likes of fried chicken loco moco, fried chicken curry rice, fried chicken sandwiches, chicken & croffle, and fish & chips! Since we saw how big the portion were and didn't want anything too heavy (read: sadly, no loco moco or Japanese curry), we opted to split a FRIED CHICKEN RICE PLATE ($16.95) which came with a Fried Chicken Cutlet over White Rice with Mac Salad & Green Salad. Funny enough, despite already having a sense of how much food they give, I was still surprised by the generous portion size. As for how it all tasted, this was great. The breading on the chicken reminded me of Popeye's (though, without the spice), the batter was crispy, and the chicken itself was rather moist. As for the sides, the mac salad was pretty good, but the salad was a little heavy on dressing. If there was one thing I could change about our order, I think I'd want to see how it would taste with a sauce or glaze. At the very least, I'd definitely go with a different dipping sauce, like their Pineapple Ginger, Lilikoi Mayo, or Guava BBQ, as the Honey Mustard we went with tasted a bit generic. Of course, we could've solved both problems if we had gone with the Fried Chicken Loco Moco or Fried Chicken Curry Rice instead! I guess I'll just have to wait until the next time I'm in Waikiki!
