    Beef and broccoli, naturally GF and no grease to be found! YOU MUST TRY THIS.
    Giga S.

    Accidentally a gluten free haven for all!!! They even have GF bread (: I had the beef and broccoli. Succulent beef, not greasy at all, with florets full of yummy spices. The basmati had toasted sesame seeds and garlic chrunchies- mmmm!!! My sister had the shredded chicken sandwich. She said it was great. The fries were super crunchy too. We order an extra order of fries for the kid and got an extra rice instead- it was not wasted (: Great spot!!!! This place is a must try!

    Located across the Sugar Mill right by the Library. They weren't even listed in yelp yet. I forgot to ask how long they've been in business. My apologies for the bad Sandwich picture but I was hungry and we were eating in the car. Give this small business a try. The sandwich was really good!

    Mokeca with fish
    Jackie ..

    On Saturday afternoon, we ate at this wonderful food truck, located across from the Sugar Mill right by the Library. - Delicious food - Shaded, outdoor seating area - Friendly staff We shared the Mokeca with fish, a coconut curry stew and the Haleiwa Fish. All ingredients were fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Delicious and wholesome food. I had the mushroom sandwich. My daughter had a salad. Everything very fresh. Only downside is steep prices, however Hawaii is a very expensive place so I can understand that.

    My tastebuds are doing a happy dance! The fish sandwich was the star of the show - juicy, flaky, and perfectly seasoned. The slaw was bomb biggity. The fries were shoe string crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, And the lemonade was the perfect thirst quencher. So refreshing, with the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the flavors really hit the spot. The service was amazing. I loved the ambiance of shaded outdoor seating. Plenty parking. Can't wait to come back and try more! I saw breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. People came in for dine in and take out. Highly recommend! This place is a must-try!

    We visited this great spot after visiting The Little Plumeria farm and The beach. We parked in their small lot and were welcomed by chickens of all sizes. They had several casual outdoor seating options. Shade was provided. The kitchen is a small trailer. The young people inside were very helpful and polite. All of the menu items sounded great. I ordered a gluten free bread and had intended to cast it aside but it was delicious! Both my dad and I devoured our food! It was very fresh and beautiful quality. What a pleasant surprise on the roadside by the public library! The only downside is that there are no restrooms available. Perhaps the library?

    Monkey toast

    This was a great find coming out of Hale'iwa Ali'i beach. We were looking for something quick and off the road and this was it! It is a super cute area with seating high bar type as well as regular set up. You can order takeout or dine in. We ordered the pipeline sandwich and monkey toast. The service was great the owner explained everything to us super friendly! Sandwich was loaded with beef but unfortunately a couple pieces were inedible just because of the cartilage but no complaints here. But honestly the star of the show was the monkey toast chefs kiss! Amazing! Honestly still thinking about the toast. This was a perfect amount of food for my husband and I! If I have the chance will be returning to try out other things! Definitely check it out!

    The Hale'iwa Fish

    The absolute BEST - A MUST For Sure Freshest Ingredients, Fabulous Flavor, Perfect Presentation, Amazing Service There were six of us in our party and EVERYONE raved about how delicious their entrees were. We will all be returning for a second visit before we leave the Island The Mokeca w/Farofa (Shrimp & Fish) was the absolute favorite for all of us who love curry It is an original recipe of the Chef ‍ herself The Hale'iwa Fish was amazing and bursting with fresh flavors The Stir Fry Veggies and The Beef & Broccoli were all equally as delicious! Fries were perfect and the salad was SO fresh and flavorful along with their homemade dressings, my favorite is the Green Herbal... it's to die for

    Fish plate

    Great service, seating and super ono grinds! I had the fish plate. The fish was juicy with one scoop Jasmine rice and a beautiful fresh rainbow salad. Come try. Come try. Chee-hoo. Mahalo

    Head to Waialua and don't miss Ka'ala Kitchen! My first time having Brazilian food and it was delicious! The service was great, accommodating to my dietary needs. Outside seating is delightful!

Came 15 minutes before they closed and they had my order ready in about 5 minutes everything tasted fresh and hot not all greasy too, all the plates come with shrimp+rice+salad and a slice pineapple. I told them I didn't want a slice pineapple and to substitute it with rice and man they didn't disappoint with the extra scoop rice and hot garlic on top of the rice man it tasted good I will be back guarantee Yessah

After having Giovanni's before, I honestly enjoyed Jenny's more. The shrimp were plump, fresh, and cooked just right. The Garlic Shrimp had a rich buttery garlic flavor that wasn't overly greasy, while the Spicy Garlic Shrimp added a nice kick without overpowering the taste of the shrimp. Both plates came with plenty of sauce that paired perfectly with the rice. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. The portions were generous and filling, making it a great stop for lunch. The seating area is pretty basic and can get crowded during busy times. That said, the shrimp were delicious, and I'd choose Jenny's over Giovanni's if I'm craving garlic shrimp on the North Shore again.

It was crunchy. The fries were pipping hot and very tasty. We also tried a plate with some nice poke and coconut shrimp. The food is good quality and hits the spot. The problem was the amount of time it took to make and deliver the food to the customers. There were two people in the truck. It was as if they were cooking one thing at a time. It look at least an hour and there were not even that many people in line waiting. One woman was taking orders and the man was cooking. The woman said it was her first or second day but in the time my husband ordered, my other child and I walked around for twenty minutes looking for other options (I wanted garlic shrimp, and they did not offer that on their menu), I went across the way after our walk, ordered a meal, got my meal, and sat there waiting to eat and it still look half an hour for the rest of the family to receive their orders. It was absolutely ridiculous. As another patron stated on Yelp, perhaps they should have stopped taking orders if they could not keep up. Love the food here, but not sure I would recommend my family coming back next time.

    I woke up today craving tacos!…read more So I got up, showered and got my work clothes ready and convinced my partner to take me to take a drive to Waialua to Surf n Salsa! It didn't take much convincing by the way since we love the place that much! Today I had the cheese and a potato empanada. It was delicious. I bought three to share and I was already full with one. I also got the cucumber lemonade and Raul got the pineapple jarritos. I drank almost all of it. I ordered two Carne Asada tacos this time without the plate sides because I figured I would be too full with the empanadas and I was right. It was just the right amount. We tried the nachos this time and it was delicious and filling. It was loaded with refried beans and guac and cheese, and all of the fixings. What a great way to start my day. And you know what was even more exciting? We decided to go to the back and check out the distillery for the first time and was impressed by the helicopter that we saw outback. We even got to get a drink while we waited for our food. We were pleasantly surprised to find a very nicely decorated bathroom inside as well. This place has easily become my favorite place. My family is coming by this November and this will be my first stop to introducing them to Hawaii as my favorite place to eat in my new place I call home.
