They host a stand towards the south edge of the Swap Meet close to the dining/seating area... Just follow the smell of the grill and you will be sure to find it! PRICES: Guava Chicken Reg Plate $7.00 2 scoops of white Rice and Macaroni salad Mini Plate $5.50 Single scoop 1 scoop of white Rice and Macaroni salad Kalbi Regular Plate $8.00 Mini Plate $6.00 Everything is cooked on the spot and your food is served fresh and hot! The macaroni salad is good and not bland in flavor like some other plate lunch joints! The texture of the chicken is so tender... the Guava marinade is amazingly good... I destroyed the chicken in under 20 minutes! The kalbi had a lot of meat on it... again, amazing marinade! Tender and not too much fat... MORE MEAT THAN BONE! I definitely recommend the Chicken if you haven't had Guava-Chicken yet!

Right here is their main star, an Ahi Katsu Lunch Plate with added Spicy Ahi Poke topped with Taegu. Each time I get this I'm reminded of why this is one of my top eats on Oahu. Be sure to bookmark this local spot n' tell them that I sent you!" SERVICE: husband n' wife duo INTERIOR: n/a EXTERIOR: food truck parked next to the Waialua District Park WAIT TIME: 15 mins PARKING: in the open space surrounding their wagon OVERALL COMMENTS: highly recommend. L.O.V.E. their ahi katsu plate that's crispy, big in serving size, n' saucy. If you're looking for more spicy ahi poke I would suggest ordering it separately to get a full portion. If their ahi katsu burger that comes on a taro bun is on the menu, we would have def ordered that too. Remember to bring ca$h, if not, they do accept Venmo as well. They also take phone orders at 808-636-9808 if you're crunched for time, but I order when I get there to guarantee the most crispy exterior of the ahi katsu. Seriously BOMB eats!

Best ahi katsu in Oahu!…read more Hands down worth the drive. Fish is fresh and moist, not overly sauced or breaded too heavy. Perfectly crunchy! Best on island and def worth the drive!

They are there M to F, 4 to 8pm…read more Now just to be fair, in my honest opinion, food trucks are usually a notch or two below the parent restaurant and having eaten at the actual Tiano's in Waipahu, I know their food is tasty. We had the prime rib and a lechon/Adobe fried rice omelette mix. The prime rib was kinda chewy and the ajus was more like a gravy. The lechon was so-so and the Adobe fried rice was kinda tasteless and dry. Seems to be doing well, and we will probably give it another go later on.

The setup is a simple lunch truck with a folding table for a cash register and a couple of benches to wait for your food. Parking is available on the side of the truck on the rocky dirt foundation of the bridge. Staff was friendly and they fulfilled my special request for lots of onions on my hamburger steak. Food was good but wasn't the best I had. Hamburger steak was homemade and had one large patty with gravy. No Mac salad with the plate. Price was about normal plate lunch price. Overall a good dinner and I hope they stay because Pearl city needs more good options then is currently available.

For our dinner we were served with the following dishes: Snails simmered in coconut milk, green…read moremango slices, pinakbet, garlic butter prawns, Insalada with bagoong na isda, Lechon kawali, grilled Hito, Bulalo soup, pork barbecue on a stick, freshly fried Turon, Biko and Karioka. We were spoiled to the max! The owners and their family run the place and in true Filipino hospitality, they served us buffet/family style and entertained us with their stories from their humble beginnings to what they are today. The food was the best I've had in the Island. Hands down. Everything tasted nostalgic because the technique used in cooking each dish tasted like a handed down recipe from a grandma's kitchen from back home in the motherland. If you're ever in the island of Oahu please make your way to Waipahu and sample as much of their offerings as you can and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommended coming from a humble cook who rarely raves about Filipino food because I myself learned from my paternal grandmother.

Stumbled upon this place because had to go get a haircut for my nephew at the Waipahu plantation…read moremarketplace. They're located on the corner and once you see a tent & smell bbq, you're at the right spot. This restaurant gave karinderia vibe to it! Karinderia is basically like those food stalls they have in the Philippines, where they have a bunch of dishes and you sit out to enjoy the food. Home cooked & affordable eats. They have everything from bbq sticks, adobo, lechon, kilawan, lumpia and more. I got the bbq stick & chicken inasal plate. The bbq stick was packed with so much flavor! The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE. If you want to experience a true Filipino experience with great food, this place is for you.

When I heard that they moved to Waikiki, my coworkers and I were excited to try something new!…read moreThough there are a few kinks that they may need to work through. We got a few of their regular items such as the Huli Huli Chicken, Town & Country Shrimp, Kalua Pork & Maui Onion, and Pork Belly Adobo Moco. Overall the consensus for this day was that the proteins were very salty. And on the day that we went (Tuesday) they ran out of mac salad (we went around 11:15am) so we substituted everything with garlic fried rice. The fried rice was a little different than what we had expected. It had a little bit of a sour taste to it, but to me it tasted more like patis (fish sauce). As for the presentation, they currently come in brown take-out containers, that don't seal nicely up top sometimes. Looks are deceiving because when we pulled out the items, it covered a full regular size dinner paper plate. As for the menu prices, most of the plates are $17-$18 each, so don't believe the pricing that you see on their social media pages that says $7 Huli Huli chicken or $8 Garlic Shrimp. All in all, if the food was less salty on the proteins, we probably would've thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saw the truck right behind the Ross in Waikiki. Heard great things about food truck culture in…read moreHawaii. We ordered two Duke Plates, one Kalua pork, and one garden vegetables. The taste was good. All the food was seasoned and tasty. The portions on the other hand weren't good for the price. The Duke plate was $24! That's ridiculous even though the food was good. I asked for soy sauce and the side, and they wanted to charge me a dollar..... I just bought four plates at a food truck for about $100, and you're going to charge me an extra dollar for some soy sauce. That left a bad taste in my mouth. This is strange because the cashier and greeting lady were really nice. Also, compared to the old pictures, the takeout boxes are half the quantity. They no longer use the white plates, they use the half plate brown boxes. Pros: Food taste Variety Cons: Overpriced Small portions Customer service hit or miss

So, I work on Hickam and visit the food court often. I don't really stop by the food trucks out…read morefront that often but I've been missing out. I ordered a spicy poke bowl. Initially I was skeptical because 1) it's a food truck serving raw fish, 2) on an Air Force base, 3) and the two owners/operators don't look like my normal sushi person in town. Raw fish is something that necessitates some knowledge & skill to ensure everyone's safety. But I didn't want to wait in the subway line, so I took a chance. I think they use ahi tuna in chunks and their spicy sauce is delicious--it really is good. Just mix it all up and bam! In town, I have often found I don't get enough sauce or it's not that flavorful. That's not an issue here. They also have rolls and other items that I want to try in the future. They also provide two dumplings. They're not too bad. Not great but not bad. Some folks are complaining about the cost to portion ratio but I'd say it's about on par with any similar type casual sit down place in town. All in all, this will do. If you're expecting fine dining, you're barking up the wrong tree. It's a food truck ffs. They provide fresh, quick, & tasty food. What more do you want?
