Nicky's Lunch Wagon is my favorite food truck to go to when I'm in a rush. She's quick, good prices, large portions, and the food is yummy. I've tried a handful of plates and I would have to say my favorite so far is corned beef and cabbage. My second favorite is probably the roast pork :) read more

Love exploring new places to eat and this food truck came highly recommended by a co-worker. So, I thought I'd give it a try. The menu selection is vast. It was a toss up between the garlic chicken and the roast turkey with homemade mash, stuffing and gravy. I'm trying to eat in smaller portions and because there wasn't a "mini" option for the turkey, I ordered the mini garlic chicken. I ordered it with garlic rice and potato mac salad. However, she must have misunderstood me because I got white rice instead. The chicken had a nice sweet crunch to it and wasn't overly dry but I have had better garlic chicken at several other food establishments. I appreciate it when mac salad is made with potato. Otherwise, it's just either too boring or too mayonaise-y (or both). Two big pieces for a mini with the salad and rice for a low price. Tip: Get there early. I heard the line can get long. We got there just after 11. read more

Nicky's Lunch Wagon - Mini Garlic Chicken - Food Stands Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great tasting food at a low price (particularly nowadays with the inflation). My go-to lunch spot at least once a week. Parks conveniently next to my work place in downtown (Mililani St) on most days during the work week from around 11a to 1p. Highly recommend! read more

Okay, I'm a glutton for punishment I went to Mililani St. in order to go eat at one of the Lunch wagons there were only two and the hotdog stand. looking at the menus I decided okay I guess I gotta eat here I remembered how the Mac salad was the last time. Ugh darn it still the same some weird tasting mayonnaise definitely not Best Foods Mayo maybe some off brand or something way too much also. ack! I got the Kalua Pig Mini Plate and okay i hate their Mac salad but the Kalua pig was okay about average so that was okay I even tried to share some mac salad with the birds in hope that they might like it nope they wouldn't touch it and held out for the rice I flew their way. Because of the Mac salad I can only give it two stars and that is pretty good since it wasn't anything I would want to go out of my way for. read more

The good 'ol yellow lunch wagon on Mililani St. between the DCCA building and the courthouse (Kamehameha Statue). Prices are so reasonable and the food is sooooo good. Get here early because the line gets long fast and they sell out quick. Love that they take credit cards. Also random things like sliced grape tomatoes in the mixed greens salads, and perfectly cooked rice (not dry, not mushy) are little details that are much appreciated. My coworker worked in the area for years and didn't know about Nicky. Now our weekly (and more) go-to for lunch. read more

I've eaten food from this lunch wagon several times over the past couple of years. The food is reasonably priced, the selection is large and the person working here is a cheerful, friendly young woman. The first time I picked up food from NIcky's, they had lamb stew, which is definitely not the usual plate lunch fare. It was a greasy, savory mess. I smelled like lamb all afternoon. Oh, and it was delicious. I haven't seen it on the menu since so maybe it was a one-off. I've also eaten the baked spaghetti, spicy fried chicken and beef stew. I like the beef stew of all of these. Beef stew in Hawaii tends to be heavy on tomato sauce. This is the only way I like it. I ate the beef stew today and it was seasoned just right, with tender chunks of beef and huge slices of potato and carrot. This place has a large selection of food. Most lunch wagons can't offer that many dishes because they can't fit them all in a vehicle. Nicky's has a lot. I usually pick up food from Nicky's early (around 11:00 a.m.) and I'm sure they run out selections as lunchtime wears on. However, with their large selection, you will probably be able to order something you like. Another reason I like getting food from this wagon is that the woman who works here is really friendly and hard-working. Having a pleasant interaction with the person serving the food makes the experience better. I would rather eat mediocre food from someone I like than a delicious meal from an unpleasant person. That's just me. read more

Been going to Nicky's lunch wagon for quite some time because it's near my workplace. They have a variety of plate lunches with option of white rice, fried rice (curry) or fried saimin. You can even swap for all toss (choice of dressing) instead of white rice. You can order mini if you don't want to order too big of a plate. You can also order a mix plate. Can soda/juice can also be purchased. Snacks and sides can also be purchased. The lunch wagon does not come to Mililani Street on Tuesdays. read more

Went for the lamb curry. Alas not today. Went for the boneless kalbi and kalua fried rice. Wasn't hot so I deducted one star. Not excellent as most cold foods are. read more

Comfort food of the highest order. I got baked spaghetti AND mac salad AND garlic chicken AND fried chicken with gravy. I split this into two meals, was ridiculously full both times, and didn't even finish my mac salad (though it was also quite good). It's a great spot for office lunch workers, though it'll make you pretty useless all afternoon because this is major kanak attack stuff. read more

Awesome food! I've gotten the boneless kalhbi and bbq beef. Both are delicious and mouthwatering. The mac salad is not slathered with too much mayo so that's a given. I usually don't go for the mac salad but I give this one a 5 out 5 rating. Nicky's always parked by the post office downtown across from the palace. Anyways, stop by and check Nicky's lunchwagon. Support local! read more

Found this wagon by mistake and this is our 2nd visit in less than a week. I'm glad we didn't see the reviews before or we may never have tried it. The beef stew was tasty and I would definitely order it again. While the roast pork isn't the best I've ever had, I would order it again. The gravy is good - it reminds me of good, old fashioned lunch wagon gravy. The Mac salad is good (important!). Portions are pretty generous for this day and age. Considering the $9-11 I pay at another lunch wagon, Nicky's LW prices are pretty fair ($7.25 for my mix plate, $6.75 for my coworkers' roast pork). read more

My favorite place for lunch downtown. Great, tasty local food and they accommodate my low carb eating. Yes, you can have a low carb plate lunch! Hawaiian plate is a special on Fridays and I substituted the rice and mac salad for tossed salad and sub the chicken long rice for another meat. I usually add the boneless kalbi (my favorite) but I had it twice already this week so I had the braised beef which was tender and tasty. Very filling and satisfying lunch! read more

Huge portions, delicious food, come early as they run out sometimes. The day I came it was almost 1:30 and I was delighted Nicky's Lunchwagon, parked on Mililani St downtown, still had my favorite, the BBQ boneless kalbi. The sauce is on the sweet side, the pieces thick but bite sized, with some being fatty. Again, portion is sizeable, your plate will be heavy! They were out of mac and tossed salad so they allowed substitution with another starch. I don't recommend the noodles. They didn't have much taste to me, and I prefer thin noodles. These are thick noodles, almost like spaghetti, and they were overcooked. For starch, you can have your choice of noodles, brown rice, white rice and adobo fried rice which is good but not great. This is not your healthy food dish. read more

My friend Vicky puts together all the orders by herself very fast and with a smile I tried the fried chicken/chili mix plate with potato mac salad and adobo fried rice! It was very yummy I will come back whenever I am in the area. She is there from 11am to 1pm? read more

Friendly service and good food for less than $10! Just check the schedule before going.

Nicky's is definitely a lunch time go to for me. If I can't decide what I want to eat (due to the fact that I've been working in downtown for a little over 3.5 years now and I've run out of places to try), I always find myself looking for that yellow truck on Mililani street by the post office. I love the garlic chicken! The fried rice is also good. The prices are cheap for the amount that she gives you. Go early! She often runs out of food fast. Can you blame her though? Her food is sooo good! read more

I am really glad I tried this lunch wagon today. This being Friday, it was my big meal of the week. I got the sea bass with garlic fried rice and mac, beef stew with white rice and mac, and side order of fried noodles. All this (2 plates and a side order) for just $15.25. The sea bass was tender and tasty. The garlic fried rice is one of the better fried rice I have had at plate lunch places. I really liked the beef stew as well. It had 4 total pieces of meat, 3 pieces were pretty lean. The vegetables still had a little crunch to them, instead of being just mushy like at other places. The mac salad was very good and I could not get enough of it. The only miss for me was the fried noodles, because it was a little on the burnt side. If the noodles were better, I would have rated it as 5 stars. read more

Best plate lunch in downtown, all homemade, quality and quantity is awesome! Super fast!

I wish I would have read these reviews before I wasted my $7.50 on that flavorless slop. I was at the post office shipping some x-mas boxes and was super hungry so decided to try the lunch wagon on the corner. I was ono for chili and rice so ordered the chili frank plate. When I opened the package it looked like pig slop. I figured, I should still attempt to eat since I bought it, and didn't have time to go buy anything else. The food itself was flavorless. The chili wasn't really chili just some chucks of celery with kidney beans in some liquid form, the franks had no flavor other then water and pepper, and the mac salad was the nastiest tasting thing I have ever eaten. I could only eat one bite before feeling nauseous. Auwe!!! read more

Awesome service - usually only one girl in there. Go early for lunch because they run out pretty quickly, being downtown and all. Recommend the beef stew for sure. Very affordable and a great variety on their menu. read more

The food here is always on point. The braised beef in wine sauce was "broke da mouth" good! Of course the garlic fried chicken is never a disappointment either. We also had the sea bass which I like as well. Go check 'em out if you in the downtown area! read more

I have been meaning to give Nicky Lunch Wagon some love on Yelp for a long time now! The selection of plate lunches here is very diverse for a lunch truck. My favorites are the kalbi, garlic chicken, and braised pork (forgot the exact name of it). The sides are the two trusty stand-bys (tossed salad, mac salad), and a third option that changes frequently and is as delicious as it sounds (adobo fried rice, fried udon, etc.). The woman running the truck is so friendly. She gives heaping portions, too. I usually have enough for leftovers to enjoy the next day. Sometimes I have only a few minutes to run out and get lunch, and I'm glad Nicky's is usually there, right across my workplace. read more

Stop by yesterday was surprised they had a variety of choices to choose from.. line was long so you know they're good eats. I choose the roasted pork with Mac salad and adobo fried rice; what did you say adobo fried rice, yes I said adobo fried rice!! Pork was nice, soft and flavorful without being salty, the gravy was a nice compliment to the pork and rice, the fried rice had no actual pieces or adobo meat and vinegar flavor balanced out the pork and gravy. My coworker ordered the friend chicken and noodles; holy huge pieces of chicken and the noodles was okay. Definitely visit this place because Food is yummy and wait times are very short compared to other food trucks read more

Delicous food at affordable prices. The boneless beef ribs were moist, tender, and flavorful. By far my favorite dish. The garlic fried chicken was juicy and crunchy. The gravy was an added conpliment to the fried chicken. I really liked the lemon vinaigrette in the toss salad and the Garlic rice was chewy and added the extra texture the short ribs didnt have. All in all super happy with my lunch. read more

I have seen this food truck in this location for a long time but never tried it. Today while walking back to my office, I decided to try it and it was early enough with only a few people in line (11:30am). They have a huge menu and really surprised me for a food truck. There is a variety of chicken, beef and even fish! Prices are basically $7.00 for the regular plate and $6.00 for the mini plate. Any mixes add another $1.00 - now how reasonable is that!!!!? YOu have a choice of white rice, fried rice or fried noodles, mac salad or tossed greens. My selection today was the mixed combo of garlic chicken and vietnamese spicy chicken with fried rice and tossed salad. The fried rice was plentiful and tasty. I would not pick the garlic chicken as it is one whole piece of thigh cut and not as flavorful as the spicy chicken which was cut up in smaller pieces. For a mere pauper price of $8.00 how can you go wrong! I give Nicky's a FIVE star rating. read more

I'm shocked at the previous bad reviews, as I LOVED what I ordered--boneless kal bi ribs. At $7.00, I thought it was a bargain. The mac-potato salad was so good, and you can even substitute brown or fried rice for the same price. In fact, today I keep looking out my window to see if the truck is back. The person there (female) was friendly, too. Maybe it's a matter of what you order, idk. I loved it, though. read more

Came here on a whim after going to the post office. I had a hard time deciding on what to order so the very nice girl patiently waiting for my order told me I could order 3 choices and get noodles and rice if I wanted. It would only be about $1.50 more for 3 choices. I chose the baked sea bass, boneless kalbi, and roast pork. For 3 choices, it came out to $10.25 and all 3 were good. For the amount of food I got it was a deal. My plate was really heavy and my food was still hot when I came back to the office. The girl operating the lunch wagon was extremely nice and so accommodating. The adobo fried rice was oily but tasty. I think I enjoyed the sea bass and kalbi the most. The roast pork was good and a classic. read more

I went to the post office downtown the other day, saw Nicky's lunch wagon on the street behind it and decided to give it a try. First thing I noticed was the cheap prices, most of their plate lunches were $6-6.75, a pretty good deal. I had their roast pork, which was very good, the gravy was tasty and the pork itself was tender and plentiful. I did not like the spaghetti 'Mac' salad but that is just my personal preference (pet peeve actually), it wasn't bad tasting or anything. I also liked that you could choose fried noodles or fried rice for no extra charge. Very good deals all around, and a good variety of plate lunches for a lunch wagon. I would definitely go back if I worked downtown or am in the area. Overall I'd give it 3.5 stars. read more

Stopped by here for lunch one day and the girl (daughter of the owner I believe) was super nice and friendly. I told her it was my first time and I wanted to try the baked seabass with crab. She said it was a really popular item, but their garlic chicken was their #1seller. So when she handed my lunch bento she threw in a free piece of chicken to let me try! Came with rice and noodles and a scoop of mac salad for $6. What a steal! Enough for two meals - a steal for downtown! read more

Good lunch wagon on the street between the kamehameha statue and the downtown post office. I tried the regular sized country fried chicken with gravy. Generous portion and reasonable at $7 and you can pick garlic fried rice or fried noodles instead of white rice at no extra charge. 4 stars only mainly because they run out of some popular items by the time I get there. read more

I had the garlic chicken and spicy chicken mixed plate from this lunch wagon. It was very good with just the right amount of garlicky flavor. The mac salad was cool, creamy and delicious too. I liked the fact that you can choose from garlic fried rice or noodles as your starch at no extra charge. The worker was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely go again. read more
