    #19 of 52 (weeks of trying a new restaurant at least once a week) Another restaurant bookmarked for weeks before we got a chance to try it. We had a free Saturday and booked it to the food truck which was behind Chili's in Miliani. There are only 4 items on the menu including the Hawaiian Hammah which is a food challenge. Sometimes though less is more. We settled on the OG Dawg ($14.95) and the Wagyu Burger ($16.95). We added jalapeno's on both items which was an extra $1 for each one. They also offer a Truffle Burger ($15.95) but we don't like truffle so that was a no go. While we waited one of the owners hung out with us to talk story, tell us about this business and his other businesses overseas. Really chill guy and nice way to spend our time waiting. The food didn't take long and we headed home to eat. We were sharing both items so we cut them in half and dug in. Both items came with a side of kettle chips. The OG Dawg was good. The hot dog is unique because it does not have any casing with makes it nice and tender. My favorite part of the dawg was the Vietnamese pickled vegetables which worked well with the pork flavor of the dawg. The burger was good as well. My honey said he could do without the sauce but I liked it. It's like 1000 Island dressing. I am an onion fan and this burger had grilled onions on it. The only negative we really had was the burger patty was not that large so it seemed a little lost on the burger. It's like a smashburger but it just wasn't enough meat. You can add another burger patty for an extra $5 but then the burger is $21.95 and I can't bring myself to pay that much for a burger. I'm not going to deny that it was a very good burger and dawg and we may be back but to be honest, the price might keep us away.

    Right out front of Kam Hwy across from the Freedom Gas Station. Look for the red wagyu burger flag flying and look for the white truck then you know they there. They been out here for a while and been all over the TV lately. Main platform to find them is Instagram (Meatandbunshawaii). Got the wagyu burger today. Also have specials once in a while. Today's special was a truffle burger using their "plain jane" 100% local beef (not the wagyu) and a truffle sauce. Burgers were food and fresh but I honestly can't tell my burger meat apart if was wagyu sirloin chuck etc. Still a good burger knowing it was fresh farm raised and ain't no fast food burger. Love the brioche buns, great texture and the grilled onions rounded it off. Service it's a 2 man show, 1 being the cook. So be prepared for a small wait if there is a long line. Always gotta show my love and support to these small mom and pops and food trucks.

    I've passed this truck a handful of times and have taken notice the lines of customers it's drawn in...something must be good right and knew I had to try it one day. I'm all for a nice burger and although Mililani Town Center has your plethora of burger choices surrounding I would say go and support local and spend the same you would at Jack in the box or Five Guys. Overall customer service was great, not too long of a wait today as there were maybe 2 or 3 others ahead of us... which doesn't seem to be the norm in its typical busy hours I'm assuming. Probably got there at a good time. Although the burgers don't come as a combo choice with drinks or fries you can order the truffle fries to share and they are better than a $5 fry you would pay at Jacks. Served with a truffle ranch sauce!!! Cmon man!!! When we arrived home and took these pretty photos you see... we finally devoured. Tasty, juicy, and messy! Everything you want in a burger in my opinion. The grease that spilt out of that Oklahoma onion was the best part! Get yourself over to this truck and support local! Skip Chili's or Five Guys or Jack in the Box and get this instead! Heard they have a special deal if you go to Mililani HS!!!

    So for awhile now I've been seeing the posts on IG and did some research on Yelp and wanted to try these wagyu burgers from this Meat and Buns Hawaii food truck that makes it up to Mililani and today was the day I was able to finally stopped by! Well worth it and gotta say Braddah Claude was right... tastes just like my fave In 'N Out burgers (always first stop when I fly to the mainland - how did he know?) but made from Wagyu beef! I'll definitely be back and you guys should definately check out his food truck and pop ups in Mililani, Kaimuki and my old stomping grounds in Kailua! Tell him T-Bone sent ya cuz your opu will be glad I did! #meatsndbunshawaii #justlikeinnout #youhadmeatwagyu

    First timers, the burgers are mean! We were looking at all the cars in the drive-thru, they made the wrong choice....

    So good, definitely check this place out. The burger was delicious perfection and it was served with chips (it had a Maui onion chip flavor which really compliments the burger) I can't wait to try the other items on the menu. Highly recommend if you enjoy a good burger!

    The folks at Meat and Buns are class act people! They are willing to make sure that you get the best burger they can possibly make. I was very impressed at their immediate response and willingness to make sure the burger I get is right... Not much food places are willing to go the extra mile but these guys are! I have enjoyed their burgers many times before and I am even more appreciative of the food they make now because they take the time and the EFFORT to make it RIGHT... other food trucks, learn from these guys. Thank you Claude Josh and Reyn for the awesome burgers! Bugga was MEAN as always! The Truffle Burger was killa!!! MAHALO M&B!

I of course had to try (sharing is caring!!) The curry was so good and flavorful. My taste buds were skyrocketing! I had to come back for more. So in the midst of the rain pouring down we made it back to their food truck so I can have my own curry plate. I have tried al kinds of curry and Japanese curry restaurants. I have never had curry stand out more than this place. They ran out of rice twice that night, but people were buying the curry alone anyway! IT'S JUST THAT AWESOME! The owner, Von, is super friendly. I learned that not only do they make fabulous Japanese curry, but they are known to host parties and cater with gourmet hotdogs. I can't wait to try their gourmet hotdog with curry!!

The hotdog and bun itself are tasty and everything they put on top is delicious. I have tried two of their hotdogs. The Akita curry is a Japanese curry and is great!

The puppy pops are a mix of ice cream and shave ice. I tried the passion orange and it was good. The hot dogs are filling and it is hard to find a meal for $6 on North Shore. I am sad that I discovered this on my last day on North Shore as I would definitely go back!

I went around 1400 (2pm) and didn't have to wait too long to get my food. If you see a red tent with "city mill" on it, most likely you are in the right spot. Certain food setups give you hints the food is about to be on point. This is one of them. There isn't a fancy sign or over presentation, mostly just delivery. The two folks under the tent (I'm assuming they were the owners and operators) were friendly and to-the-point. I glanced over the menu quickly and selected the number 1 because I was kind of pressed for time. It was one of the best gourmet dogs I've tried. It had slaw and chili on it. I opted to have cheese too. You can pretty much customize your dog however you desire. I'll probably get a different next time until I work my way through the menu. The prices of the options are listed on the menu. The operators told me they have a IG page @bustyomoufllc and I could go there to see their schedule. They take tap and Apple Pay so that's always a plus for me. Don't just take my word for it, try it out for yourself and let me know which one you tried.

    4 stars for Mililani Restaurant!…read more The food was cooked really well, but everything needed salt, so the flavors never got to shine the way they could have. Which is honestly a bummer because if they had seasoned Bill's Fish & Chips... dude... it would've easily been the best we've ever had! The other day, my family stopped by Mililani Restaurant after my son recommend the fish & chips. Since I'm a sucker for variety - and I hadn't eaten here in about 20 years - I also ordered the Mini Fried Saimin and Mini Korean Chicken. I love seeing each restaurant's take on these local favorites. Bill's Fish & Chips: WOW. The full order is HUGE! You get three giant pieces of cod over a mountain of shoestring fries. The fish was cooked beautifully - super crispy on the outside while staying moist and flaky inside. But oh Lord... it needed salt! The fries had a great crisp too, although they did have that darker, old-oil flavor that was a little hard to ignore. Since I'm a foodie who likes to come prepared, I happened to have lemon wedges with me lol!... and man, did that take the fish to another level. Hey, don't judge! (I'm pretty sure my family was embarrassed... but ask me if I care. Hahaha! Jk... kinda.) We all agreed that if they had simply salted the fish right out of the fryer, this would've easily been a 5 star dish. Mini Fried Saimin: Can we talk about that portion size for a mini?! Super generous! Unfortunately, this one also needed more seasoning, and the oil flavor came thru more than the other ingredients. I know it's fried, so some oil flavor is expected, but it kinda overpowered everything else. A little more shoyu would've gone a long way. Since fried saimin is usually one of my favorite things to order (local girl at heart!), I'd give this one about 3 stars. Mini Korean Chicken: The sauce was delicious and reminded me of Sugoi's Garlic Chicken. The only downside was that the chicken itself wasn't hot. It tasted like it may have been cooked earlier and then portioned out for my plate. The service was friendly, helpful with recommendations, and they packed everything securely. Our order was accurate, and the prices felt fair for the amount of food you get. They definitely have a great variety for a neighborhood plate lunch spot. Would we make the drive all the way from Ewa Beach just for this? Probably not. But if we're already in the area, we'd absolutely stop by again. One last heads up... if you're planning to dine in, be prepared to leave smelling like the fryer. The ventilation could definitely use some help.. we all went straight to the shower when we got home!
