Went for my brother's birthday last week. This was an interesting buffet style experience. The vegi…read moreoption was great but the main stars are the meat. I love their picanha style and the filet mignon. The lamb leg is a little rough and gamy to my taste. Server do check on you often and ask for your need, but the request does not always come through. We ask for ribs but never got them. Which bring to why only 4 stars, the meat does not come consistently, we basically took a bite of whatever was on the plate, then sit and waited 5-10 minutes before another meat type will come, but that might not be something you wanted so you will be waiting longer. The chessecake dessert at the end was good, so we will probably give the place another try.

Being that this is a buffet style restaurant, please be aware that the dessert is NOT FREE. They…read morecome around at the end and ask which cheesecake you'd like- says you can take it home- but WAITRESS does not inform you that it's $14.00 each. Being that we had 4 guest, we opted for 4. And I realized after the fact we were charged for all 4. There is NO menu or mention of the price- they only give you a drink menu. On TOP OF THAT, the waitress didn't get our cheesecake order correct! We went home with dessert I didn't want, couldn't eat, and didn't want to try. Super annoyed and upset buy the cost, and wrong order. Second- it took quite a while to get some meats to make its round to us, while other tables were being served- and yes, we had the green side of the card facing up. We were constantly offered sausage and chicken for the first 45 minutes, we ate things from the salad bar to pass the time, by the time the flanks and steaks came our way, we were full. We tried to wave the meat cutters by, but they serviced the other table around us and skipped right over us. However, when some of them finally made its way to us, it was good in flavor and texture. We didn't see the ribs until the end of the night. Wish we could have tried that. But it was not offered to our table. Food is good, but being misinformed about dessert, and the waiting for food and our overall bill for the little we were able to eat... I feel cheated on the experience.

My husband ordered a 16oz Brazilian açaí bowl. It came with a ton of fruit and granola. But once we got to the açaí part it was pretty bad. Like others have written I think it was a frozen mix they just add water too. There was no flavor and a huge piece of ice at the bottom of the cup. Honestly I think I hated the açaí bowl here.

The white sand is actually tiny pebbles, which kinda feel like they give your feet a shiatsu massage. We did also walk up the road past the Foodland to the "food truck city" where we had some good tacos from North Shore Taco truck. Hubby also got a shave ice. Prices weren't cheap but competitive for the region. The parking can be scarce and you may have to hang out in your car lying in wait for someone to leave. And people who come to the car are usually NOT in a rush to leave the spaces. The bathrooms were aight for being a beach bathroom. Not great but it will do. Wasn't too smelly or gross when I was there.

We ordered at the counter and then sat at a table to wait for our order. We had a short wait because we came in on the earlier side of the dinner hour. We tried the bean and cheese pupusa, pollo asado and steak fajitas along with a couple of sodas. With tax and tip and because we paid with credit card it came out to over $70. Definitely on the pricier side, but all of our food was fresh and tasty, and the portions are large- we had plenty of steak and rice left. If you're not familiar with Salvadoran food, it's a lot more subtle in terms of flavors. Don't come in thinking of bold, in your face flavor. Perfect for people who are sensitive to spice.

The acai was not as sweet as I'm used to, which is a personal preference. The acai was a bit watery though so it was a bit hard to eat. However, the amount of toppings was very generous and the fruits were good. The portion didn't really seem worth it for the price though. The vibes were overall good here though, the truck is kinda like a surf truck. Like how they feature local surf news and riders. The service was also good as well, workers were very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for our acai. Not bad at all, but not the best acai in Haleiwa or on island.

We decided to get an acai bowl topped with granola, honey, blueberries and banana. The acai was like no other acai I had ever had! It was so thick, creamy and refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness and no icy texture at all. All of the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and every bite left me wanting another. While it is only a food truck there is a bunch of shaded seating nearby and other delicious food trucks right next to it. Service was also very quick and friendly. I would definitely come back to try out some of their other acai bowl combos next time!

They are right outside Schofield Barracks on the back side near Kemo'o Farms Pub and Grill. This was my first time but their menu and pictures made it easy to decide what I wanted. If you're paying by cash you pay at the window. Otherwise there is a tablet for you to place your order and pay. I went with the Aloha Bowl because it had all the fruits I like in it. The bowl also included honey and I had the option of no honey, honey or agave. I just got the large bowl for $16.90. They do offer two sizes and I was very happy to see the calorie information on the menu. It was ready in about 5 minutes. There are tables there with a nice view of Wilson Lake but I took mine to go. When I returned to my office I dug in. Everything was perfect! Bananas, strawberries and blueberries were all nice and ripe. I did appreciate the amount if banana. The acai was nice and cold and had the right amount of sweetness. I ate it all and really enjoyed it. I deducted a star only for the price. It's definitely higher than other places I've seen but I will definitely return again, just maybe not too often.

I grew up eating avocado as a dessert, so that part really hit home for me and made this bowl extra special. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. Great vibes, great açaí, and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

This place is great because there are some different options that you can't get anywhere else, like condensed milk and Brazilian milk powder (leite ninho) which supposedly makes it creamier.

My daughter loved her bowl of just the açaí base and strawberries and peanut butter, hold the granola. She said it was one of the best she's had! My husband loved his as well with almond butter, honey and strawberries. He said this was one of his favorites along the north shore. My sunset bowl was very good as well. My favorite bowls have the tangier fruits like passion fruit, but for a basic bowl this really hit the spot. It's a cute little place with a good vibe next to Foodland in the strip mall. It looks like it has great food options as well that we'll have to come back and try some other time. But if you're wanting a great açaí bowl, this is your place!
