    Food truck adventure in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii... If you want dinner or late night eats, go to Mops Central! They have free parking and an outdoor dining area! The menu is interesting! I got one of the sspecials: the Mum Mum Noodles Deluxe; and the Pork Chops with Garlic Kake (garlic Furikake) sauce. Yum! The Mum Mum Noodles Deluxe was topped with easy over eggs, French Fries, and a sweet mayo (?) sauce. I liked the chewy Noodles, but I prefer a more savory sauce - I'm sure I could have asked to change sauce if I knew. Note: Ketchup at home helped a lot! The pork Chops were delicious and tender! Corn was a nice side, along with two scoops of rice. Service was okay. I asked what "Mops" stood for - it's slang for "eating". The cashier made an eating motion... LOL!

    We love trying new places, and Yelp always comes to the rescue! While searching for cheap eats in the Waipahu area, we stumbled upon Mops Central, a food truck located in Tropicana Square (right alongside Arby's and Jack in the Box). This little hub has a few food trucks and a shared tent with tables, perfect for enjoying your meal although we opted to take it back home. We easily spotted Mops Central's very decorative truck and joined the clearly popular line. You could tell immediately that they have a huge following, but thankfully, the line moved surprisingly fast, and the wait wasn't bad at all. The menu is quite extensive, which for a first-timer, felt a bit overwhelming, but in the best possible way, because everything sounded delicious! Lucky for us, a sweet, kind Aunty behind us generously offered some recommendations. We also subtly listened to what other customers were ordering to help narrow down our choices. From what we gathered, you pick your main entree and then get to choose up to three different sauces to elevate your dish. There's also an option for a two or three-choice plate. Since it was our first visit, we all tried different things and shared, which was perfect! I went with the ahi katsu, topped with garlic sauce and garlic parmesan, all thanks to the Aunty's suggestion. It was absolutely perfectly cooked and incredibly savory. I savored every single bite! They also have different specials every night, so definitely check out their Instagram page for the latest updates. Next time, I'm absolutely going for the two or three-choice plate to try a wider variety of sauces. Very excited to come back for more!

    10/10 Enough said 3rd time back, will come again forever. Best late night spot in the area aside from Miki's. Quality and Sauces does not disappoint.

    Ono late night grindz! Cook was friendly and da food was ono! Really love that 94 block sauce! I can eat that over ANYTHING! Fries stayed crunchy til we got home (15m away) and it was probably da best crinkled fries I've had in a long time! Mahalo for the yums!

    Garlic & Parmesan Pork Chops
    Gina K.

    A truly excellent pork chop should be thick-cut, juicy, with a flavorful crust, and cooked to a perfect medium, ensuring tenderness without dryness; ideally, it's a bone-in cut that provides added richness and texture, and is seasoned generously with herbs and spices to enhance its taste. These chops are all of that and some! If you didn't know, now you know! Hats off and BIG MAHALO to @fatburns @mopcentral The absolute BEST pork chops ever! Check 'em out! #supportlocal #waipahu #94blocc #bestchopsewa

    chicken and shrimp tempura
    Danielle M.

    Hubby chose this place and we came here after we did our grocery shopping at Costco in Waipio the other day. I was so excited to try this place because of the 5 stars, but then again there's only several reviews as of now. I really tried to like this place but it wasn't for me. My husband and I both each got a plate. And there was a side of bland corn for each place. I got shrimp fiyah crackah and chicken kusisi. And my husband just got the chicken kusisi. I felt that the protein itself, especially the chicken lacked flavour, and it relied heavily on the sauces. And the shrimp tempura seems like it was just from the packaged ones. We also ordered large tater tots with fiyah crackah, I think or was it the kusisi? I forget already. That one was a generous portion, but that one we didn't finish as well. There was no flavour, it was just straight up heat coming from the red pepper flakes. We came about an hour after they opened, so we didn't wait too long on our food. We ate everything it at home as we had groceries that needed to be refrigerated. But the following day, I was literally in the bathroom the whole entire day. I'm certain that I got sick because of the food I ate from here because I was fine before I had their food. Not for me. 2 stars was for the parking and the convenience.

    Went to try it out last night, we got the combo korean chicken w/ Teri meatballs, fried noodles and fried pork chop. Food was a thumbs up! Go check them out when you get that late night craving!

    So far every time I came here the food was always great. We usually just eat in the parking lot but ever since they moved down the street from us we just take our food home and eat there. Most of the time we go we usually get the meatballs that's been the best so far and there fries are also good. My favorite is the Tama Moko but I have been trying the different ones they have. Can't wait to go again and try something else new!

    We decided to finally give this food truck a try and let me tell you they do not disappoint! Let's just say we finish everything on our plate! The food is delicious! The pork chop was cooked just right, my mil really enjoyed her food and she is a picky eater! If you're around Waipahu around 6 pm to 1 am you must give this place a try!

    Kusisi Fried Chicken
    Chris D.

    Wow, this place is legit!! Happened to come here because Leeward Drive Inn was closed (even though it wasnt 12am yet)... and glad they were!! So we decided to "live on the edge" and cruise through the Pupus (Pupuole) and head back to the food truck. Staff is very friendly and let us sample their chicken. We ended up orderibg 3 plates and 2 kinds of fries. The chicken is AMAZING! It has a light, crispy batter... and the sauces are gooooood. Also got the steak (garlic butter style) which was grilled to order, a nice portion and ONO!! Plenty ALOHA from the workers/owner... you can tell they appreciate the business. Will recommend to all my friends and family... already looking forward to the next time!

    Healthy chips... I…read morehad a friend that loved their products discovering them at the many local holiday fairs and food shows we've been to and know that if they're there so is she. I've had my share of various thin sliced beef jerky but no one does it like Chyler's and finding them at the Hawai'i Shop Local Pop Up in Ala Moana Center where the vibe is so lively. It literally is beef chips as it's super thin and very crispy though not lacking flavor at all as this magical snack just hits the spot knowing I'm having something not just healthy but so yummy as well. Not sure...they will happily give you samples which this visit was no different and it was either regular or black pepper and this spicy lover went for it and no samples was needed as I got a bag knowing that as soon as it's open nothing will be left behind for anyone. The staff there is always so nice and friendly with any questions I may have and finding them on this holiday event was the best as it will make someone that I know happy this holiday for this yummy treat. Thank you!

They were both very friendly and inviting and allowed me to sample every flavor and if you've tried these yummy chips you know that is a treat. I was torn because they were all so good, textured so well, and super flavorful and in hindsight I wish I would've listened to the girls and opted for the 3 or more at $10 each offer rather then getting 1 for $11 because I cleared that bag of peppered Hawaiian beef chips faster than I'd like to admit LOL I do wish there was a little more beef chips per bag for your buck but I get it it's a tough market out here. Overall I'm super excited to talk about this brand with my loved ones and can't wait to see these gorgeous girlys again because they bring the beef & the vibes 5 stars from me. Mahalo Nui

    Shopping in Waipahu, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. When I saw that there was a third location of One 2 Buy, I thought, "Wow, they must be doing well!" I'm glad that the first location moved to Coral Street... it has better lighting, parking, and organization. The second location in Pearl Kai is also new and clean! This third location, inside of Keiki Kingdom, has more of a warehouse vibe. There are open cardboard boxes so that customers can see the products. I like the fact that there are prices on most items. It's a satisfactory place to find unusual Asian snacks. My friends liked the Hawthorne candy - it was like individually wrapped fruit roll ups! The green onion crackers had packs of eight crackers in the bag. It's a fun experience! Take a look around! Parking is free! Note: this used to be a Walgreens!

    A Waipahu Treasure Hunt!…read more One2Buy just opened in the old Walgreens location in Waipahu (across from the former Don Quijote), and you truly can't miss it....the building is painted bright and loud in the best way. When you walk in, you can tell they're still setting up, but it actually adds to the experience. The front is filled with claw machines, giving it a fun arcade vibe before you even get to the good stuff. Then you head in deeper and suddenly you're surrounded by rows of exotic snacks and foods from all over the world. Half of it I've never heard of, the other half I've only seen scroll past on TikTok. It felt like a full-on treasure hunt trying to figure out what everything was....thank God for Google Translate because nothing is labeled in English and nothing is priced. We just threw everything into our amazingly smooth shopping cart and hoped for the best at checkout. Honestly? No regrets at all. The best part is taking all your treasures home and having a blast opening everything and doing your own taste test or mukbang. It's such a fun experience, whether you go with kids, friends, or just your adventurous self. If you love discovering new snacks or want a quirky little adventure in Waipahu, definitely check this place out. Excited to see how it looks once they're fully set up!
