    When in Hawaii, you gotta stop by one of the Leonard's locations for malasadas. I was the only one in line, so service was quick. The malasadas were warm and soft. However, when I was there, someone in the truck was on a phone call and was very loud and almost disruptive when I was ordering. I wish there were alternate bags or boxes even for small orders because the plastic bag wasn't it.

    I don't eat bread stuff much, but these are pretty good! My kids and their dad eat a lot of donut and Malasada's and got the 12 pack deal w like two of each I think, they said they're hella good. Liked all the food trucks out here, wish we didn't just come from a late lunch lol... service here was very friendly at the window.

    We don't live here we are visiting from Sacramento, California If you are going to Honolulu if you were going anywhere where this place is located because they have different locations, please make sure that you try! You will thank me if you're on a diet who cares throw out the window This place is worth having your sweet treat make this your one thing that you will not leave Hawaii without trying I was lucky I was driving and happened to see their food truck type of deal. The only problem was it was kinda hard to turn around in order to go and park. However, the weather was great sat on some benches that were right outside, which made it nice and it was like a little bit of a breeze in my hair I was able to get some good content for my own Instagram, which was pretty nice. I just loved sharing the food that I eat when I go out of town out of state out of country. I think it's so important to share all these things because people don't know what they'll be tasting. I want to say this the custard coming out of this was goosing goosing coming out. I can't even explain to you how delicious. I probably made some words up here. The stuff was really nice. I did not realize how huge these are. I was thinking oh they're small because the price is just right. Oh my goodness I hope they always stay a really relative good price so that way people can always try all of them because it's so worth it I've tried the sugar one. I tried the chocolate one. I tried the custard one I think I tried another one. It is just so delicious. I'm gonna add some video and also some pictures please if you go let me know how much you love it. I really really hope they open one of these Ca-Sacramento.

    Leonards still beats all the other Malasada places. It really is the best. And this specific location is easy pick up with no lines. And I love that you can just order 1 if you please. Unlike Pennys that makes you do 3 at a time at least and isn't as good. I got to try their li hing flavor and the original custard. They come out fresh, hot, and delicious. They are perfect. The sweetness, doughiness, and custard ratio. Yum! The li hing was a nice unique one to try. The custard one is no match. Since it's a truck its a grab and go type of place. There's no where to sit and enjoy besides the comfort in your car. I cannot wait to come back and get them again.

    Stopped by to try some well known malasada's. We got the haupia and cinnamon sugar, they were warm and fluffy. The coconut cream was nice and the prices weren't bad either. They were solid malasadas, but nothing particularly memorable.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 2/5 Overall: Of course I'd come back for this. Malasadas - 5/5 - You seriously can't go wrong with this! No matter what flavor you want is literally magical in the mouth! This time I got the special flavors of haupia and dobash! Sooooo tasty!!! Service: 4/5 - Service with a smile. Ambiance: 3/5 - Since it's a mobile truck in the middle of a parking lot...not much of an ambiance. LOL.

    Masaladas were amazing. My favorite was either macadamia nut/custard, and my wife's was the cinnamon sugar. It was pouring rain when we came, but the line moved pretty quickly; the wait was about 10-15 minutes to receive the items. I can't imagine it on sunny days. Regardless, it's a delicious sweet treat to try, and I would recommend making this one of your stops when on the island.

    Great grab and go.  And Hot.

    Yep. Love them. Cash is no longer accepted. But they take CC or Tap to pay. Mahalo.

    Love Leonard's Malasadas! A must stop when in Oahu. It's best when hot. Our favorites are the Original, Custard and Haupia filling. Yum Yum! Service is friendly and truck is conveniently located outside Pear Ridge Mall. There is seating with tables under the tree with shade if you prefer to enjoy there or pick up and go. Put on your list of things to do and eat!

    Best Leonard's truck imo! Got there on a Sunday at 9 am and no crazy line. Safe and effective layout for ordering keeping traffic a good distance away and!...... the malasadas were massive! Immense compared to other locations! And the workers weren't grouchy.... Cough, cough Waikele.

    Leonard's malasadas. What more is there to say? Hands down, still the best malasadas on the island. My step daughter was in town visiting and I told her she cannot leave this island without bringing home malasadas. She and her family visited us a couple of years ago & fell in love with them then. We got there about 9AM on a weekday morning. No line, very short wait. This mobile truck has been in the same location at Pearlridge for years & is in the corner parking lot of the old Sears. You can't miss that infamous red and white striped truck. They have a couple of picnic tables next to the truck so you can nosh on malasadas at your heart's content. Since I had been there last, there were a couple of small changes. One, they no longer accept cash, card only and 2nd, they added a small metal shelf just below the window to do your payment transaction. You still order from the window, the gal rings it up & gives you a total, then using the tablet on the shelf, you complete your payment, adding tip if you want. Then insert or tap your card on the small black box next to the tablet. Easy peasy & much more efficient, The gal at the window hands you your receipt. Prices have gone up over the years as expected. Everything is made fresh and served hot but sometimes you may get some that are too doughey from being undercooked or too brown from being over cooked or dirty oil. We had ordered 1 dozen - 5 cinnamon, 3 custard, 2 dobash chocolate, 1 haupia/coconut, & 1 original all for $25. They're all good sized donuts and so ono! When my step daughter returned to the mainland that nite, she sent me pics of her kids devouring the malasadas. It didn't last long. Overall, da best with a convenient location, hot and fresh malasadas, friendly staff. Let's continue to support local and one of Hawaii's recognizable fixture.

    Great location and easy parking.

    Always delicious treats. Fresh and hot. Parking was easy and convenient. The wait was quick. We barely made it to the car before breaking open the box.

    A malasada is a Portuguese donut, without a hole - they fry these up until it's golden brown, covered in this cinnamon-sugar coating (or, just plain sugar or li hing (salted plum powder)), and filled with your choice of filling (custard, mac-nut, guava, haupia, dobash (chocolate), etc.). We came to this mobile truck after having lunch in the area, and note that when there's a line, it will take some time to get yours, as it seems as if it's made-to-order. We ordered one in cinnamon sugar with a custard filling - it was piping hot and generous filled. There isn't a seating area, and most patrons just get theirs to go or enjoy it right there, by the truck. +made-to-order malasadas

    Some of the best Malasadas my favorite was actually the Li Hing. So warm, fluffy and just great memory. Worth trying for sure.

When we arrived around 12:45 we were surprised to see lots of seating options, so we just chose to stay and eat.

We ordered the Kalbi plate, kimchi pancakes, and bibimbap. The cost can be a bit pricy, but the portions and taste really make up for it. The bibimbap had a variety of vegetables that made the dish look colorful. It came with bulgogi and an egg, and it was seasoned well. It also came with gochujang on the side, which I appreciated since my daughter can't eat spicy. My husband says the Kalbi plate was very good. It had a hint of sweetness and didn't feel dry. The kimchi pancakes had a nice crisp and and it was tasty. Next time, we will have to try the seafood pancake from there.

I love how they make their pancake crispy and it was loaded with seafood in it.

I would definitely come here again for their pancakes and maybe try other things from their menu!
