    Chicken inasal plates, bbq sticks, isaw sticks, cassava flan, latik
    Hylenley M.

    We decided to go there as soon as they opened today at 4pm, it was a great decision! They sold 10 chicken inasal in half an hour (4 is ours lol) and they only have 26 chicken inasal servings for today. Sayuri gave us excellent service. She answered all my questions as it was our first time going there. She even remembered talking to my husband yesterday when he called to asked if they're open. We ordered 4 chicken inasal plates, pork bbq sticks and isaw (adobo pork intestines), cassava flan and latik. Chicken inasal- was so tasty and cooked perfectly. The jasmine rice with the chicken oil and fried garlic was very good. Isaw- wow! I was a little skeptical ordering it due to bad experience from other places. I'm so glad I listened to their first customer (their neighbor). The isaw didn't have any of the gamey smell and taste, it was so good that even my daughter ate it. Pork bbq stick- tender, juicy and very tasty! Cassava Flan- tasty and not overly sweet. Perfect dessert to end a very good meal. Oh and btw, I told my Japanese/Filipino son that the best way to eat this Filipino food is by eating using our hands lol! We ate it this way and he said it's one of the best meals he ever had. Eating with his hands was an experience for him. Thank you Sayuri/Kenjiro team. You've earned another loyal customer. We'll be back and make sure to spread the word to our friends and family!

    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!

    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!!

    Literally BROKEEEEE DA MOUTTTT!!…read more This is local Hawaii comfort food to DA MAX ! Best family dinner post beach day. Can dine inside or outside. Plates can be shared between 2 hungry adults. ITS A LOT, and worth every penny and calorie. Get the combo plates if you don't want to share, trust me you shouldn't share. The beef short ribs are a MUST! And if you think your mout stay broke from the ono food, wait till you try their ice cream pie. It's out of this world!

    Just finished watching a local YouTuber visit this place, and it brought back memories.....not a…read moregood one either. He liked it, and by reading the more recent comments, I guess everyone else likes it, too. And I admit that the first and last time I came, more than 2 years ago, the food was good. But if you read my original post, you'll know that I had and issue with their online ordering and, to make a long story short, I ordered online for their KONA store which was misleading in their website. The owner at the Kapolei store said they would remake the order, and that she'd call the Kona store to cancel my payment. Bottom line, never happened! Ended up paying the Kona store $45+ and Kapolei $45+. So ultimately, I paid $91+ for two plates. Never got the refund, haven't been back since. So I realize they probably don't care about ONE negative customer since they have so many good reviews. Like..."who cares about this guy?" So yeah, no matter how good the food was, I'm NEVER going back.

I like that each of us got our own pots for our broth. I chose the pumpkin. I usually get the herbal, which is my fave. I decided to try something new this time. It tasted more like tomato than pumpkin. I'll stick to my herbal the next time. For your meats you can choose: toro beef, beef brisket, pork belly, chicken and pork shoulder. We got a little of everything. You can also get veggies, noodles and seafood from the fridge. For dessert, they have this sago bar. Don't forget the sauce bar. You can mix and match all your sauces. I like the sesame sauce mixed with minced garlic and the ginger onion sauce. Some of the items I got for my pot were: beef, head on shrimp, clams, pumpkin, taro, corn and lobster balls. My fave was the head on shrimp and pumpkin. The corn wasn't too fresh. I loved their Taiwanese shave ice. Unfortunately, they don't have it anymore. It got replaced by the sago bar. I tried the mango and ube. The ube was good and fragrant. Auntie was there. I knew her from back in the day when she had Sweet Home Cafe in McCully. She looks fabulous and is still as friendly as ever.

    Made the drive out there last night to Ka Makana for Aunty's Hotpot and it did not disappoint!…read more The broth's were so yummy and selection to add into your hot pot was good. I also really liked the free appetizers with the AYCE menu. Service was good, they were on it with our waters, checking in, and getting us more soup when our pot got low. I'd definitely make the drive out there again, it was so good! I love hot pot and this would be one of my top places
