    So many great flavors! Stopped here on our Aloha Sunshine Tour. Definitely worth the stop, plus they are right next door to a souvenir shop, which had quality yet affordable options. Friendly options for those who with gluten and/or dairy allergies. Great service, lots of outdoor shaded seating. Lots of nice flavors. My family members enjoyed the shrimp meal. Enjoyed the chicken meal with a side of kimchi.

    A great stop on your journey around the island. We stopped at this food truck on the north side of the island. We were on an island tour and this is one of the stops our driver takes his tour groups. He called ahead so we didn't have to wait for our food which was nice. There were lots of picnic tables for us to sit at and eat. They have two signature dishes. One is shrimp and the other chicken. Everyone really enjoyed their lunch. I took the opportunity to walk across the road and walk the beach.

    Spicy garlic 10/10 one of the best plates I had on the island ! You will regret not stopping here it was soo good!

    This was hands-down the best meal I had during my time in Oahu. Tucked beside a 7/11 and a souvenir shop, this unassuming spot offers parking in the back. The staff were friendly. I had my heart set on the Huli Huli chicken, but it was sold out by the time we arrived (we came right at closing). Thankfully, the spicy garlic shrimp more than made up for it. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and generously portioned--just the right amount for one person. The dish came with rice noodles and a slice of pineapple, which added a refreshing balance to the spice. It's cash-only at the truck, but you can easily pay by card inside the souvenir shop and bring the receipt back--super easy process. Honestly, my only regret is not finding this place sooner. If you're nearby, don't sleep on it--it's worth every bite!

    Friendly service! Great food! When we picked up our order of shrimp the bomb and spicy garlic shrimp, the cashier stated "you'll know which one is which" -he was right! Both were delicious. Note while they are served with rice and pasta, those also have sauce on them, so grab yourself a soda if you need a palette cleanser or a break from the heat! Better than waiting in line at Giovanni's, and beautiful beach to enjoy across the street

    So cute!

    We stopped here as part of the island rainbow tours! The shrimp scampi was amazing! The portions for the price was great! I highly recommend this and the tour! They have a shop right next door with rest rooms, they also have covered eating spaces! Everyone was very nice and the food was ready when we got there. I would 100% go back!

    Very delicious food truck meal. 1 Shrimp Scampi (18), 1 Spicy Shrimp ($18), 2 canned soft-drinks. Total: $40

    Spicy garlic shrimp and rice with a garnish of pineapple. So good!!!

    Had the spicy garlic shrimp here Saturday August 16, 2025. It was one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life and I wish I was still on Oahu I'd come back and get it again.

    Garlic shrimp, with small amount of noodles swimming in the garlic sauce. The rice was good but I added the chicken sauce and perfection.

By now, anyone who is a fan knows their food so rather than another review, some tips for securing that last taste. 1. They are in a cellular dead zone. All calls made to their number from a cell phone will fail to connect. You MUST call using a land line phone (those things plugged in the wall with physical buttons to press). BUT... 2. They do not answer their phone if they are busy helping customers. Good luck. SO... 3. Go early and order in person. Popular items like the roast pork and hamburger steak sell out by 10am. Others like the kalbi and pulehu shrot ribs by 11:30. 4. Be patient. The wait time is 45min - 1hr. It is accurate. Use the time to grab poke and drinks in neighboring Laie or Kahuku. It's all worth it. Same loaded plates. Same nostalgic taste. Same aloha delivered with a smile. One last time.

My personal favorite is the kalbi ribs. They've got that backyard BBQ taste that feels like a homecooked meal, and it's usually what I end up ordering. Simple, comforting, and it just hits. I also love grabbing food here and taking it down the street to eat at the beach. It's one of those meals that feels even better when you're eating it by the water. I just read that they may be closing soon, and if that's true, thank you for all the delicious meals over the years and wishing the team nothing but the best moving forward.

I love their system where you they take your order and then you take that ticket and then if you do wanna shop for items you're more than welcome to shop around look around support local, which I highly recommend shopping around and then once you are all set with your purchase, you go to the cashier who is really friendly and they just bring you up your ticket and the items that you found in the store what's even better they give you a buzzer so when your food is ready, it goes off that way you're not standing awkwardly in the store. Also allows the cooks to truly be comfortable and not feel the pressure of being watched. I highly recommend coming to despite even if it's your first time or your hundredth time good Ono food.

Unfortunately, fresh, orange colored egg yolk wasn't runny. The orange colored egg yolk didn't satisfy my palate. I ordered their kim chee fried rice because out of all the photos I saw in the restaurant, this dish popped right out and looked very appealing. My husband and I agreed that this entree was super spicy. There was some type of yellow, melted topping in the middle that didn't go well with this dish. Sprinkled furikake didn't jive well and threw off my taste buds. Orange colored egg yolk lacked the runny effect and did not appeal to my palate. This is the first place that didn't have chopsticks. My husband asked for chopsticks on my behalf because he knows I like to use them whenever possible. Instead, I kindly asked the worker for a spoon. There's only forks, knives and spoons. Workers were very courteous. Interior design has a variety of colors with a few tables and seats. Free, limited parking in the small lot.

Their Kalua Pork is all the things--salty, smoky, juicy, tender, shredded meaty goodness. Their Squid Luau is perfect--the right balance of savory, mildly coconutty, melty luau leaves with bits of chewy squid. The Lomi Salmon has a nice bite from the red and green onions, the freshness from the tomatoes, and that briny saltiness. The Mac-Potato Salad was creamy and chunky, with a little bit of carrot and onion for freshness. The Lau Lau was loving assembled. Each foil packet was lined with a small piece of Ti leaf for flavor. The inside of the Lau Lau contained a piece of sweet potato, a chuck of salted pork, and a small piece of fat to keep everything succulent. More places should put sweet potatoes in their Lau Lau--I'm a fan. The catering buffet also had Chicken Long Rice which looked great with thick rice noodles and lots of chicken and green onions, but I skipped it because I didn't want to pour soup on my plate. I also skipped the white rice and fresh green salad. Another reason to seek out the Fat Poi truck is they do poke bowls and you can get combos to try more things.
