The kalbi was so tender and charred nicely. I liked its slightly sweet marinade and the japchae that came on the side. Since the food is freshly cooked, there was a slight wait. You get a good portion of food per order! Definitely try it out, I left full and satisfied! I was probably so distracted by how good the food was that I forgot my purse at the dining area. The owners found it and held onto it for me. It was so nice of them. Thank you so much for keeping it safe!! I'm so grateful for you guys! read more

Kalbi On Fire - Kalbi - Food Trucks Near Me - Kahuku, Hawaii

Kalbi on Fire is what some say is the best kalbi on da island, and I can see why! The owners were super friendly and the portions were generous with plenty of rice and japchae. Everything came out fresh and almost unbearably hot, which I'll never complain about. The kalbi was a little sweet for my liking, but had a great char and was still really good. The outdoor seating area was fun with cute cats and plenty of chickens roaming around. The flies got a little annoying, but we're eating outside in paradise, so who can really complain? read more

Brah........ probably the best food truck plate I ever had. LOOK AT THAT PICTURE. As a Korean, i gotta say, I was hellaaaa impressed with this kalbi. On par with LA/vancouver/korea grindz (maybe not Korea but you get the point). Came across this place randomly and decided to eat there on a whim. So happy I did. It's a bit outta the way, especially if you staying in town side. But if you're ever giving some friends/family a tour around the rock or going to PCC or whatever, make the side quest to eat here! read more

Meat is well marinated and cooked. Service is quick and simple. FYI: cash only food truck.

Not on fire. I love kalbi, but this was too sweet, rice was overcooked and the entire thing could use a serious cleaning. read more

Was staying at turtle bay and was hungry for something not too expansive but yummy and the hubby was craving meat so found this lovely place that was about an 8 minute drive. There was no line which made it quick to get our meal and the customer service was nice as I was deciding between the ribeye or galbi. Plenty of seating outside to sit with roosters walking around. Food came out hot and yummy. It was a little salty but was good if you ate it was the rice and japchae. Wish there was a salad or something but delicious and would come back to try more dishes read more

Great food!!! Cash only. Nice workers. Our favorite is the combo. Head to Ono Yo for dessert after.

- cash only - a lot of meat - meat was pretty juicy and fatty - good amount of rice - couldn't finish a plate myself, would've preferred to share - has seating - open parking read more

Came from CA and wanted to see how a mixed plate sized up to local Hawaiian spots in the OC. Kalbi On Fire was a next level flavor bomb. Highly recommend Kalbi and chicken combo. read more

This place seemed dead and thought I'd give it a try, they only take cash so I had to go elsewhere. Maybe taking other forms of payment would get more business? read more

The food was SO GOOD. And the amount of food for the price was great. We devoured our plates and left extremely happy and full. Pretty quick service too! (They even threw in a free soda because they were getting ready to close - we were super glad we caught them!) I had the chicken and my husband had the kalbi, and both were amazing! We went kind of late so didn't have any troubles parking (the parking area there is pretty large so probably wouldn't be an issue during a busier time either). And there was also plenty of seating, both covered and uncovered options. Perfect ambiance for a low-key, relaxed evening meal. read more

Wow!! Massive portions! Well worth the price! Came to this food truck in a center with a lot of food trucks, stands, shoppings spots etc. make sure to come and eat with a friend here because the portions are gigantic. The meat is tender and cooked perfectly, comes with noodles and rice. I recommend bringing cash. They have a spot across the street with a bar and drinks, smoothies, açaí bowls, Thai food etc it's all near by. Great spot to come with families, groups, friends, on a date etc. nice covered area to sit outside! read more

Best food truck in Kahuku for some delicious very flavorful Kalbi ribs & Ribeye! If you're craving meat, this is the best place to come! This place is so underrated compared to other food trucks. They need to also be featured on television or something!! Their name is just right. They live up to their name very well. read more

I'm gonna go ahead and make the statement that this is my all time favorite kalbi on the island. Today I ordered the kalbi plate with rice and japchae and the bbq pork plate with rice and japchae and both were excellent. The only reason I took off one star is because I wish the kalbi ribs weren't so fatty. The flavor is so good but just a bit too much fat. They use a similar marinade on the pork chop and we devoured both. This is the first time we stopped by here without getting the Giovanni's garlic shrimp plate which is another favorite of mine but I was feeling like some good bbq protein today. Check them out as another option when you can and thank me later. read more

Move over all your four choicee Korean joints. Step off pretenders claiming you have the best kalbi on the island just because you have "kalbi" in your name. This is the new "best". Thin sliced, bone in, deeply marinated the Korean way (you can taste the Asian pear) before flame grilling to a perfect medium. The smell is hedonistic. The flavor deep and comforting. Pulling the chewy sinew off the bone and savoring the fat all added bonuses. Other offerings include marinated chicken and ribeye. Neither sampled. When you've found perfection, why deviate? $20. Locals, tip and you'll probably get an extra fourth piece of kalbi or a free drink. Plenty of self service, covered seating. Look for the yellow school bus and the colorful sign with dominating Korean characters. Five visits. Consistently great. Unexpected find. read more

Come to the North Shore for Giovanni's, but stay for the Kalbi! Giovanni's is probably on every tourists list that comes to Oahu, especially when visiting the North Shore, however, besides the garlic shrimp that you can have, there is some seriously delicious eats besides that shrimp truck there - might I introduce you to Kalbi on Fire This small business is located next to Giovanni's on that same parking mall where you can find multiple other vendors. My husband had a hankering for some steak while we were in Hawaii, so while I was in line at Giovanni's he walked over to Kalbi on Fire. We ordered some steak and short ribs. WOW oh WOW! The meats were melt in your mouth good. Def check this place out if you're craving some hearty beef and rice. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Came here years ago and have to say the food was unexpectedly our favorite amongst the food trucks in Kahuku. The kalbi has that outdoor grilled flavor which wqs perfect. The japchae that comes as a side was also very delicious. read more

Kalbi in a school bus? Don't mind if I do! The quality, serving size, incredible flavor and quick cook time make Kalbi On Fire something I am craving now that I'm back in California. We stumbled on the many food trucks about 10 minutes East of Turtle Bay Resort and couldn't be happier we went on an adventure! Each meal was better and better with immaculate service, fantastic food and reasonable pricing. We tried the Kalbi and Chicken Teriyaki and both were 5 stars! Can't wait to return! read more

Grabbed dinner here since most places were closing up. We walked up and ordered and the food was ready before we could even pick a seat! Talk about fast service. We got: Bbq chicken: 3/5 chicken was dry and burnt, seems like we were served end of the day left over meat... Kalbi: 3/5 super super fatty, the noodles were soaked in oil. Mac had more Mayo than mac and was too sweet. Had to eat fast cuz the wild chicken were all around trying to eat our food! read more

Theeeeeee BEST Kalbi Shprt Ribs I have everrrrrrrrr had in my entireeeeeeee life. OMG. The marination on these bad boys is something I have never tried better. The combination of sweet, salty and juicy is what you will get with every bite. The best thing about these Kalbi short ribs is that they are cooked perfectly. You will not get the rubbery texture here, no way. The meat here is so tender and whatever sauce they include with it is just perfect. So tasty. The meat is also nice and thick versus other places that offer this but the meat is thin. Blah. Once you try this spot, you will be hooked. SO Good! read more

We have a new go-to place in the kahuku area. We saw the yelp rating was high and decided to give this place a try (thank you, yelpers!) We are big fans of their kalbi short rib plate.. we swapped out the Mac salad for double of the jap chae noodles and did not regret it (both are super delicious ) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Not to mention that their food truck is a school bus! How cool is that?! And with plenty of shaded seating and the little "hut" seating at the front, it's definitely not boring. Mahalo for the delicious meal. We will be back again to try your other dishes. read more

Not too friendly people unless you speak their language (which I don't know what it is). I asked if I could get the combination with chicken and kalbi ribs and he said no (which he does have and it was #4 on the menu). Food had flavor and was yummy with the exception of the noodles. Pretty sad scoop of japchae. Barely had any people at their school bus turned kitchen. If y'all were too stingy with your noodles, maybe you would get more customers. Or if you were more friendly, ask if it's your first time, do you have any questions about the menu...I get annoyed when people just take your money and don't care if you have any questions. Idk, I'm weird. I asked the lady for more japchae and she just frekin shu'd me away lol like that's all you get. What you get isn't what's on the photo. Husband ate the Kalbi ribs and I ate the bbq chicken. GIVE MORE NOODLES. NOT just 20 small pieces of small noodles lol read more

I live in this small town of Kahuku and have been going to this food trucks for years. So inflation is real. Lol. And like everywhere, prices have gone up in this little truck. But the food is totally worth it. I've had the Mandoo from here several times and no joke, it's amazing. Today we decided to go with the Kalbi as well and Omg. Some of the best Kalbi I've ever had and the portions are huge. We were starving when we ordered and one plate was enough to fill us both. And you know, the cashiers are quiet and hard working and they are meticulous about keeping the outdoor family style eating area spotless. Fun place to go with a large family or on a date. read more

Large portions. Food is super good just wish we could get more noodles because those were really good.

We came, intending to grab some shrimp for Giovanni's. But, we spotted Kalbi on Fire and it looked good. I grabbed the BBQ chicken plate and Wifey got the short ribs. Plates come with rice, scoop of mac, scoop of noodles. Or, you can get all mac, all noodles... Excellent grub and worth a stop. Food came out pretty quickly. CASH ONLY. So, if needed, there's a Bank of Hawaii ATM a short walk away. read more

Amazing Kalbi ! Strongly recommend this place when you travel Kahuku, HI. But they start opening from 11 am , not from 10:00 am. The owner said that they don't know how the business hours can change on the Yelp. So I informed this new business hours instead of them. read more

You wouldn't expect much from an actual food truck but this place blew us away! It surely is a hidden gem on our way to North Shore! We passed by many food trucks and decided to try this place.

We were in the Kahuku area and was about to go to the Bald Guy food truck but the wait would have been over an hour so we ended up here instead.

They also offer a shaded area with tables to sit and eat too! read more

One of my favorites that we had on vacation on Oahu. The meat was hot, fresh, flavorful, delicious, etcetcetc. I still think about it and find myself wishing I had a spot like that nearby. I will definitely make the trip out to this truck next time I'm on vacation in Oahu. It's also in the same area with a Giovanni shrimp truck, so it's a win-win! read more
