The product itself is great, homemade by a family run and operated company which is always a big plus in Hawaii. They have a range of flavors and the ability to add Li hing mui to any concoction you choose, but here's the kicker, you get 900ml for $5!!!! That's 30 ounces, nearly 4 cups of Lemonade AND you get to keep the jar for your own nefarious purposes!!!! The only down side is that they are CASH ONLY!!! so make sure you have some if you're cruising down Farrington in the Waianae area. I know they move occasionally though, if you really want to find them just call the phone number in the business information or stalk their Facebook page for updates. Which can be found by searching "Hawaiian Lemonade Company, Westside Oahu" At the time of this review they are at the corner of Kellikipi and Farrington Highway and I strongly recommend them.

I came across this even on Facebook and Yelp. The list of local vendos piqued interest as I thought…read moreit was a perfect event to get my feet wet with local foods (I moved here 2 weeks ago). It was also conveniently located within 2 miles of the hotel I was staying at. The vendors were arranged in a circular formation with an open field in the middle. This made it easy to move from one vendor to another. The event was reminiscent of a "food fair" held annually in the Caribbean in which local vendors sell locally made foods and handmade products. There was good music, ample parking, a variety of food/drinks/dessert vendors to choose from, and inflatable bumper balls (I think this wasn't an ideal event for these balls because unless you went with a group of people, it would be awkward bouncing strangers). The timeframe for the event was perfect. The sun was setting so it was not unbearably hot. There were benches for if you wanted to sit and eat or plenty of open space in the middle of the vendors for those who brought blankets and lawn chairs. The police had a small presence at the event, which provided a sense of security and they blocked off some roads leading directly to the event, which made it safe to walk about.

The Eat The Street event occupied the entire football field so space was no problem. I've been out…read moreof school for more than a couple of decades now so I've forgotten what it was like walking across a football field. All the huge spotlights cast multiple shadows from you so at one point, I was walking with a freshly bought pot pie from Sweet Revenge and I actually thought someone was following me. I quickly turned guarding my pot pie to only realize it was my own shadow...sigh, I'm such an idiot sometimes. Anyway, this was my first ETS event so was very eager to see all the different foods to try. The line of trucks, with their generators rumbling and owners/workers calling you over to try samples seemed endless. It was actually a bit overwhelming. The 3 of us walked around the entire field 3 times before we each finally decided what we were going to eat. I got a Smoked rib plate from Tin Hut BBQ ($12.00.) The plate comes with 2 sides (I got a double helping of green salad.) The ribs were fall of the bone tender and had a nice grilled flavor, although I didn't get a strong smoky taste. The salad was fairly plain; it was like the type you'd get in a large bag of tossed greens at Costco. The greens were fresh though and they offered 3 different dressings that you served yourself. The favorite thing about Tin Hut is that they have squeeze bottles of BBQ sauce out for customers to use. They had 2 different sauces: one was an apple/chipotle and the other was unmarked. Both were delicious. I'm a saucy kinda guy so I thought that was pure awesomeness. Sorry, I don't remember the names of the trucks that my other two friends visited One of them got a deep fried, shrimp stuffed avocado and a mixed plate of ribs and shrimp. It looked really good and she confirmed that it was "Da Bomb". My other friend went to a thai food truck and had stuffed chicken wings and satay chicken sticks. He said the wings were really good but the chicken sticks were horribly dry. We were all still a bit hungry so decided to split a pot pie from Sweet Revenge. We got the pork guisantes pie and it was fantastic. The top crust was just so buttery and flaky. My only gripe is it's pricey for its size ($7.00). I really wanted to try out more trucks but was pretty stuffed by then. If you come to an Eat The Street event in the future, I'd recommend coming really hungry. ***Oh...and a little side bonus was that I got to meet Yelp! Elite Pualani P and future Elite Darren S. They were manning the Yelp! tent and were both really cool.

Most said the food was pretty good, a couple thought it was just okay.. I didn't get the halo halo, but it looked great and everyone who ordered it was impressed. Unfortunately my Thai lemongrass chicken was disappointing. If not for the mixed response from the group it would've been 2 star review. The chicken was cooked well, but I didn't taste any lemongrass and it was way too salty. This coming from a person who likes food on the saltier side. The soy garlic chicken was so garlicky that I smelled it when the box was opened. The unagi fried chicken was the fav, but peeps who ordered it said it could use more sauce. The birria tacos got mixed reviews, but the fried musubi was a hit.

In the middle of a weekday, it's easy to find parking at the park's parking lot, and if for some reason it's crowded, there's always street parking. I really like how they have a few tables, chairs, and even beach mats for customers to use while enjoying their treats. It's a perfect spot to enjoy a calm and relaxing morning. The entire area is really aesthetically pleasing to me! The pricing of the coffee is similar to other coffee shops in Kapolei (around the $7/drink mark), and the drinks are unique enough from other shops for me to want to go again instead of consistently going to a closer coffee shop. I recommend getting the apple cinnamon chai drink (I forgot the exact name) because it tastes like the inside of an apple pie and it easily soothes the body. I don't even normally like chai but this drink was amazing. One of these days, I would want to visit BE on a Saturday so that I'm not in a rush to head back to work. It would be perfect to read a book and have a drink under the sun!
