    Grilled chicken or pork belly with garlic jasmine rice, sometimes it's the simplest things that are the best. This truck was at the Renaissance Inn in Kapolei and I decided to give it a try. The lady who I assume is the owner was so friendly. She explained the options and I just said "I'll take both"! While my plates were being prepared I saw a container of Thai chili and so I asked if there was a spicy option. I was given a few Thai chili and told to crush them in a small cup with Shoyu and then dip the meat. The pork belly and chicken had a great flavor. The meat was cooked fresh on the grill, the smell of delicious bbq was all over. I preferred the chicken. Rice with garlic and shoyu mixed in, I couldn't eat enough and I'm really not a rice eater. The DIY hot sauce was HOT but delicious. Simple food done right, what more can you ask for? I'm so glad I got to try this truck and if I see them again I'll surely buy a plate.

    Craving for some island style grindz? Check out Kenjiro's Island Grill that specializes in chargrilled deliciousness. They got chicken inasal, liempo with a side of garlic rice, and so much more! I got their chicken inasal, which is the perfect balance of smoky, peppery, and citrus flavored chicken legs marinated to tender perfection and traditionally charcoal grilled. This chicken is served with steamed rice, a salty soy, calamansi and vinegar dipping sauce. Don't forget to get their garlic rice either, bc you definitely gonna get a food coma right after. You can find them in Kapolei and contact them via Instagram/Facebook DM!

    100% recommend! The food- great! The service- great! I am from town but will be making for sure to drive out to Kapolei at least once a month to get my inasal cravings addressed

    One of the best "food truck" venders around. Awesome people, awesome food. You have to get some!

    Food was grilled while you wait. This makes your meal fresh and he doesn't burn the chicken and the pork. The whole meal was very tasty!!

    Great to find Gina's in Kapolei! For years we went to Gina's at Market city in Kaimuki and missed…read morethem after they sold the restaurant. After looking for a place to eat in Kapolei we came across Gina's Kapolei and walking into the restaurant we saw that Gina's son was working behind the counter!!! It was awesome to have the yummy food that was so much a part of my past . We got the family mini pack - it's great for 2-3 people who have a large appetite- 3 large pieces of Kalbi - bulgofi - man du - BBQ chicken- meat Jun - rice and choice of 4 veggies. It's a generous portion of meat more than enough for 3 people and we had leftovers too. The food is very good the Kalbi is a standout and the fried Man Du and meat Jun was excellent. We loved the seaweed w/ daikon - tofu and kimchee all so good. The people are friendly and really helpful - parking is plentiful. I can't wait to go back really the perfect meal no matter what you have. They also have catering party players and catering sets great for a gathering

    The world feels like it's burning up and falling apart lately. I'm home on O'ahu for the Summer and…read moredon't recognize where I am sometimes. So many old businesses are no longer with us. So you can imagine the pure joy I experienced when I walked into Gina's and recognized the banchan, size and char on meats, the smell, being surrounded by local families and friendly faces behind the counter. My heart leapt for joy seeing that I could have both fish jun AND kalbi and if I wanted I could've gotten a third choice. My eyes spotted a familiar side dish of seasoned potatoes, which I left it for the next person and got the daikon, perfectly seasoned not dry at all jap chae, and kim chi cucumbers. When I took my first bit into the kalbi, life was made good again. It was reset and welcome home I needed. It was a perfectly cut and marinated kalbi. The fish Jin was seasoned so well I barely needed to dip it into a sauce. The portions could have fed 2. I asked if they were related to the Gina's in Market City. Bro, this is the OG Gina's!! The owner said they sold the other one and his mom helped him start this one. It looked like the whole family was behind the counter. I wanted to cry. Not all things have changed in Hawai'i! Some things got better! OG Gina's being in Kapolei is one of em.

    Another amazing service!!! Great atmosphere and positive environment! I definitely recommend the…read moreAYCE (the $47 is good enough for me). Rayce is probably one of the best servers out there! Very positive, upbeat, and attentive. She has great servers intuition. For example, i was going on a soda fast and she could tell that I didn't really care for the lemonade. She was quick to help me find another option. I ended up going for just a plain green tea as their tap/soda machine wasn't operating properly. Second time, same issue with soda machine, but I did get to have the Li Hing Lilikoi Daiquiri that did not disappoint! I will be back for this! I do wish they fix their soda machine though. The food is always why I come again and again. The main things to highlight would be... Umami Scallion Rice, Shio Negi Tofu, Garlic Shio Cabbage. Yaki-Shabu beef, toro beef, umakara Ribeyes are definitely a must too! Scallion rice is definitely underrated, imagine scallions mixed with rice and a light semi-sweet and savory sauced flavored rice! I could eat like two and be good, but you wouldn't want to stop thefe. The negi means green onions so that with tofu... what can go wrong? I do like all the marinated meats and such! I do really enjoy the Umakara as it's rich deep flavor really brings an umami punch as well! I definitely want to come back already. Overall, a great place to come after work and enjoy some great service from Rayce. Everyone else there is super nice. The bartender, ciara or ciera? Drinks were really good too! Aside from the soda machine being down, I have noticed sometimes the menus aren't the cleanest. But, as a whole, I would definitely not let that stop me from coming!
