    a green food truck
    Jessica S.

    I always saw this bright green food truck whenever I drove on Manono Street in Hilo on a certain day in a week. I found them on Instagram (@jawjackergrindz) and found out they're usually in Hilo on Fridays! It's located on the lot of the S. Tokunaga Store in Hilo every Friday. They also have set dates for Kailua-Kona and Waimea unless there's an event. For the Hilo date, there's ample parking around mainly on the unpaved area. I was actually stuck between ordering their Korean tinono and the Krispy pork belly. My roommate decided to get one of each and share, so I got the Krispy pork belly. Bad idea because I had forgotten I didn't like my pork belly crispy LMAO. But the food itself was good! It came with a side of kimchi and corn and a ton of rice. The pork belly was coated with a sweetish and vinegary glaze which was very subtle. Like I mentioned earlier, I didn't like my pork belly crispy... So I gave a lot to my friends in exchange for theirs LOL. But they both loved the crispy pork belly! The Korean tinono was basically like pork adobo without the heavy sauce. It just had the vinegar. This was verrrry good. The meat was very tender too! I should have chosen this instead. My other friend got their roasted garlic truffle New York steak. YUM! This was delicious. Lots of garlic truffle flavor that wasn't too under- or overwhelming. This food truck has an overwhelming amount of options but once you get your eyes set on something, you won't regret it! The food here is good, and I believe having a bright green food truck really draws in the customers. P.S. You can also text in your order in advance!

    Technically we caught this place's food truck but boy was it amazing! I ordered the Steak Peuhle (sp?) and ordered a second plate to take home for the midnight munchies. Sooo good but a tad bit expensive - perhaps not considering the location.

    This food truck did not disappoint! Amazing poké, wraps and burgers! Ate at this truck for lunch daily during a conference at our hotel and everything I ordered was delicious!! Highly recommend!

    Perhaps the oil was bad or the beef was spoiled but we were very sick after! Also very rude when ordering.

    We came here at 4:50pm on a Saturday and were seated right away but there weren't many tables left…read moreto spare (took that as a good sign)! Our server was so sweet and she took great care of us, offering to put our kid's order in first and all of the little thoughtful touches you want when you are out in a packed restaurant. They have alcohol, but you have to ask (no menu). We got a couple of bottles of Asahi ($7) which was ice cold and went great with our food. For the meats we got the brisket (10/10) and the pork belly (7/10...probably because we weren't entirely sure how to cook it. Crispy/well done or medium still a little juicy? Not sure...it was all really good just not as good as the brisket). There are a lot of TVs (on every wall) and they were all tuned into UFC which was 100% fine for us but our 6 year old daughter had some questions! Thankfully live music started at 6pm and the guy was wonderful! Our kid was pretty interested in the performance AND the ice cream for dessert. $4 for a huge scoop of Tropical Dreams for the win! We will definitely be back to 4K! Pros Very reasonable prices for Hawaii Tons of easy parking Fun to cook your own meat! Full bar Very friendly service Cons No adult drink menu

It seemed like everyone there were friends or family of the owners. We enjoyed a few pupus at the bar while we waited for a table on this business Saturday night. The fried calamari wasn't anything special but the sashimi tasted really fresh. When our table was ready, we were ready to eat! We ordered a few meats, a fish, and the fried rice. The meats were tender and while they provided ponzu sauce and other flavorings, it was delicious with just a bit of salt. If you're looking for a quiet place for a romantic dinner, this is not your place. But if you're looking for a lively, local vibe, check them out!

    I learned about this spot after watching YouTube videos of Maui recs. I am so glad I listened to…read morethis one. This spot is delicious! They literally have a sign along the highway. We made a reservation about a week in advance and I highly recommend doing that because it was packed the night we went. I think they may have bar seating first come, first serve. I really liked the celebration cocktail and my husband enjoyed the Kamuela Fizz. We ordered the pork steam buns, which I loved the most. Pro tip: ask for four if you have a party of two or four. They won't charge you extra and you'll have an even number so no one is fighting for some. We also enjoyed the hot and sour soup and the Look More Funn noodles. Everything we ate was delicious. Our server was stellar. I recommend asking for their spicy chili oil, if you like heat. It paired well with everything we tried. Parking was very difficult right by the restaurant but someone at our hotel mentioned they always park in the Longs Drugs parking lot and we did that- no issue.

    We had a very disappointing experience at Star Noodle…read more We arrived early for our reservation and walked around to kill some time. About 30 minutes before our reservation, we returned and attempted to order non-alcoholic drinks for our kids while waiting outside. We were told that this was not allowed--apparently, children cannot even have water or soft drinks in the outdoor area. This was an extremely strange and unnecessarily rigid policy. Even more confusing, we were told the bar area was reserved exclusively for walk-ins. Because we had a reservation, we were not allowed to sit at the bar and have a cocktail while waiting. The whole situation was bizarre and made what should have been a relaxed start to dinner unnecessarily uncomfortable. The food may be good, but the customer experience and inflexible policies left a very poor impression.

Great service and food was so good! 45 minute drive from Kaanapali but it was so worth it!

We were spending 8 days on Maui, and Lineage was to be the capstone meal on the stay. Reservations were made 6 weeks in advance, and were arrived at promptly. The party consisted of my wife, 2 daughters (10 and 12), and I. We were seated, and told whom our waiter would be. At which point our waiter and another member of the staff come from the kitchen. The waiter 'greets us', takes our drink menu, and leaves. He calls back to the other member of the staff, and says "you were right". His demeanor was cold, smug, and condescending. He was PUSHING a $185 8oz Wagyu steak like there was a prize for selling it. The menu is limited, but we made our selections outside of his "recommendations". The only bright spot in the meal was the assistant that helped our waiter throughout the meal. He was warm, engaging, funny, and all around a great human. He took his time, and asked us where we were from etc. The meal was good, but not great. The experience with the waiter aside. We ordered the chicken (2), noodles, and the up country salad. The food was fresh and flavorful, but not earth shattering. I still tipped the waiter over 20%, but I also made a point to find the assistant and tip him separately. He salvaged the meal, and should be a lead waiter!
