Late post- i got their chicken back in Feb, then another time April I think. Only tried for their food at their Ali'i Place location on Fridays. I recommend getting their gravy on the side. You can then dunk your chicken in it- while still keeping your chicken crispy! I didn't care so much for the Mac salad imo- I'd ask for all rice, but definitely give it a try if you can't have a plate lunch w/o mac salad. It was a long wait. I think I waited more than an hour my first time. When I arrived my second time around, I got in line before they even arrived! I was still #10 I think. Took maybe 30mins but definitely worth the wait if you love your fried chicken crispy! I have yet to try their poke and beef stew (and other items they feature. Cash only!!! read more

While the food smelled amazing I was never able to try it. The line to get food was very long and moved slow then when we placed our order we were not told it would take an hour to get our order. We promptly told them we do not have time to wait for our food and asked for a refund since it had only been a min or two since we placed our order and they told the party behind us they were out of chicken and they would not give us one. I was really excited to try the food too because of good reviews. I wish they informed us of how long it would take to make the food especially after waiting in line over 30 min to even place an order. At the very least given us a refund. read more

Frickn Chicken is so good it will have you f***ing clucking! Boneless, breaded, well seasoned with S&P and a hint of paprika, deep fried chicken thighs. Super crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. It is fried to order. Not at all greasy and stays crisp for over 30 minutes. Outstanding alone. Even better with the with the crack mushroom gravy all over though you do loose the crispness. Do try their Hawaiian food specials. The beef brisket luau, outstanding. Perfect braise, tender without being dry in the creamiest, coconutty, luau concoction. Popping up at Ali'i Place on Hotel St. Fridays and Waimanalo on Sunday. Check their IG for schedule changes. For their Waimanalo pop-up, be local as in live aloha and have patience. Notes: -- usually located across the entrance to Waimanalo beach park in a large gravel clearing. -- 11:00ish start time. -- no phone orders. -- cash only. -- very long line that moves slowly. -- long wait times (30-90 minutes depending on how many orders are before yours) for chicken to be fried. Is this plate lunch worth the effort and wait? Hell yeah! But hey, if you're a foodie, as SNL puts it, you will spend your free time waiting in a big dumb line. read more

Someone ELSE waited and picked up food for us from here so this is not a full experience but food alone this was incredibly good. Frickn chicken was crunchy but still juicy, and the mushroom gravy was really tasty. Peppery and wonderful flavor on the food, but I doubly I'd be able to wait in an hour in the sun and another hour to get my food. Hope they find a brick and mortar soon. Great food! read more

So FAT Catering - Frickn chicken and gravy all over, but on the side - Food Trucks Near Me

Okay, let's start with location. So Fat food truck opens for business at least 2 times a week, every Friday at Ali'i Place in town, and Sunday's in Gods Country- Waimanalo! They open from lunch, I think in town they get there at 10AM and Nalo is 11AM, till sold out. Because they are famous for their chicken and all their other foods, it's best to go before they even get there and just wait to be one of the first in lines. The faster you get to being the firstest in line, the sooner you get your food and no need to wait in line in the hot sun. U might want to have an umbrella handy just in case. Be advised that food is made fresh! So, with that said, we literally waited for them in Nalo from 930 AM lol that was a little too dramatic, cuz they didn't pull up till 1045 AM. Also, be advised that their spots are subject to change at last minute, so if they say they going be close to Nalo beach park entrance that may change and they might go across the street of 7-11. Because we was waiting at the beach park parking lot, they spot changed last minute to across 7-11 and everybody raced to stand in line and park right close to them. Even though I know I was the first to get there and wait at 930 AM lol we ended up being like 8-10th in line. Wahhh :( !!! That's how fast everybody raced to be in the front. She started taking orders at 11, and we didn't get to order till like 1120, 1130, and didn't get our food till 1220, 1230. So be advised, you may have to wait for their arrival, wait to order, and wait for your food. Was it worth the wait?? Hmmm I would say yes, it's worth the wait to try. The food was really good. We got the famous, mushroom gravy all ovah fricknnn chicken, the furikake frickn chicken and the Hawaiian laulau plate with long rice!! All the chicken is the same. Again, all the frickn chicken is the same, just depends on your order and the dressing. So our orders were same chicken, just with furikake and the other with gravy all ovah, and no matter cuz all was good! Furikake chicken was good and gravy all ovah was da bomb!! They had other stuff on the menu like poke bowls, and they have specials sometimes, like last week, I think they had brisket beef stew. Bruhhh pictures look so good and the Hawaiian plate is one of their specials too. Now getting to the Hawaiian plate, wife is Hawaiian, so when we got to the Hawaiian plate, she wasn't a big fan of the long rice, but she said the laulau was good. It was a bumbucha laulau!! All in all, all was good. The wait was worth it to try, buttt... if you ask me, I don't know, I'm not sure, if I would wait another 1-2 hours again, or maybe I would, if I'm hungry. But if you haven't tried em yet, go get em. Support local! read more

So Fat Catering is a solid option for plate lunch. Huge portions and their frickin chicken (fried chicken) is probably the best I've ever had. We normally go on Fridays when they park at Alii Place since my coworkers and I are all in office. I normally do combo plates ($19) with poke or pork belly long rice. If I can get my hands on it, I want to get the beef brisket stew! Hopefully one of the next times we go. Be aware that it takes a while! Lots of people do large office lunch runs so this can create a 45-60 minute wait. We now place our order early (10:30am or so) and come back later. Cheers to So Fat! read more

Yuuuuum. Had to go bank and saw the truck. Usually I go late and they pau already but this time I could put in an order for frickn chicken, and then just after i got out, it was ready. Perf timing. Even after walking back to my office and eating...still crispy! Nice and salty. Meat juicy. Mac salad lacks flavor, so think if got greens, I'll go green next time. Really shoulda gotten the combo and tried the pastele stew...next time. Pretty sure I found my new Friday lunch... read more

Oh goodness. First timers. Arrived at 9:47 am at Alii Place and 9th in line. Truck on time and we were able to make the first round of orders. About 45 minutes for two chicken and one braised ribs plates. Second round of orders taken about the same time.... 45 minutes. Talk about efficient for two people. Friendly, appreciative, organized. Food was so delicious. Can't to have a reason to cater from them. So much food I had it for lunch the next day and it was still delicious! Thumbs up, try it out!!

I've heard so much about this Food Truck called So Fat and I heard through the Grapevine that their Fried Chicken is really good and after finally having that chance to try this place because they were in Downtown area today and I always avoided this Truck because the Parking situation isn't the greatest I had to suck it up and find parking and being the Fried Chicken Lover that I am I finally got my hands on this elusive Fried Chicken and let's just say it was so worth the Parking and so worth the wait. This Fried Chicken called the Fricken Chicken is a Boneless Thigh Deep Fried and cut up in Strips and I will tell you that you definitely need patience because they only put a limited amount of Fried Chicken in their Deep Fryer to insure the utmost Quality and Taste and all I can say is Holy Cow this is some really good Fried Chicken. They have other types of Fried Chicken as well but if you're a purist like me the Fricken Chicken is the way to go and they say have it with Gravy and I say Hell No!! Just eat it the way it is. It was perfectly seasoned and so crunchy it was Fricken Amazing. As for me you all know I like to try a little of everything so you I had to the FAT COMBO which comes with 3 Choices and comes with Rice and Mac Salad so I got the Fricken Chicken,Smoked Meat with Sautéed Onions and the Shoyu Inamona Poke. What an Amazing Combo. Smoked Meat was delicious with those Carmelized Onions and the Shoyu Inamona Ahi Poke was Fricken Awesome!!! Ahi was so full of Flavor and having those thin Slivers of Raw Onion right on top was just the icing on the cake. This Ahi Poke easily rivals Tanioka's or any other place that specializes in Ahi Poke. Definitely gotta try their Poke too. For the $24 it may sound steep but to me it's Money well spent. It's not cheap to run a business anymore you just gotta roll with it. Nothing more than good things to say about this very elusive Food Truck. The food here exceeded all of my expectations and the Local Lady running the Food Truck looks rough around the edges but is an absolute Sweetheart. So Fat Food Truck also is in Waimanalo on the Weekends but you have to check their Instagram Account @sofatcatering for their hours of operation. I don't what the heck took me so long to eat here but man all I can think about is that Fricken Chicken and Shoyu Ahi Inamona Poke right now. It was so damn good and for the Fried Chicken Lovers out there the Fricken Chicken definitely HITS BIG TIME!!!!! Go get it!!!! read more

So Fat Catering can only be found twice a week - Downtown on Wednesday and Waimanalo on Sundays. They normally open about 11am and close at about 4 P.M. I've only visited the Nalo location fronting a beach park. You can pull up next to the truck, but getting back out may be a little tricky if the roads are busy. The wait can be a little long if you don't call ahead especially if you order the chicken or if someone else orders chicken. We waited about 30 mins each time, so it's a better idea to give them a call if you're in a rush. We've gotten the stew and chicken with gravy (on the side). Both were very good (especially the chicken). They take cash or credit card, but charge 50 cents more if you decide to use a credit card. read more

the service was poor. had to wait approximately 45 minutes from the time the order was put in. no warning that it would take that long when placing the order. the worst was both plates had no mushroom gravy. the only reason why 2 stars given was the chicken even without the gravy was pretty good. would not recommend so fat fricking chicken!!!!!!!! if you want i have pictures of both plates that show no mushroom gravy. also tried calling for three (3) days and goes to voice mail which is full so could not discuss with owners or leave a message read more

Finally got to try the friciken chicken. The truck is located across Waimanalo Beach Park with a couple of other food venders. Look for the white truck with a white tent on the side. The plate comes with a giant scoop of white rice and a small scoop of Mac salad. The chicken is served cut up like chicken katsu. The skin was crispy and meat was tender. Taste is one of the best of all the lunch wagons. Took off a star because hooking up with them can be a chore. The lady who took my order said they post on Instagram where the are going to be a day ahead and that day. But I didn't see a set time on their post. Be safe and support local. read more

This is a food truck that opens on Wednesdays in downtown and on Saturdays in Waimanalo. I came here with some coworkers around 11:30, before the inevitable 12:00 lunch rush, mesmerized by the smell of fried food a block away. Although I was still halfheartedly keto when I tried this place, I decided to carboload nonetheless. There was also spicy chicken and garlic chicken available but, seeking to more objectively judge the standard of their chicken, I got the plain so fat chicken. They have a ticket system where they call your number. I ordered right after my coworkers and, unfortunately, they got the last bits of a batch of chicken and I was forced to wait about ten minutes for mine--so it was fresh but still a test of patience. There were two enormous pieces of chicken served with a scoop of white rice and tossed salad. The breading was quite heavy and oily, but super crisp, juicy, and flavorful. It reminded me almost of the crunchy bits on chinese pork belly. It had a nice peppery/shoyu flavor and was perfect fodder for an afternoon nap. I also had a piece straight from the fridge the next day, and it was surprisingly still crunchy and moist, if a bit oily. The menu includes many standard local treats, like smoked meat and beef stew too, which I'll have to come back and try (if I stop trying to be vegetarian). read more

We love to grab a plate whenever we're in the area. So Fat sets the bar for fried chicken. Its one of the best on island. Always fresh, super crispy and seasoned perfectly. My favorite is their chicken with gravy all ova! They offer a variety of solid local food but we've only tried their poke (its sooo good) and chicken. Maybe one day we'll try something new, but for now their chicken is all we need. Staff is always nice and friendly, can tell the love what they do. read more

Wednesday (Every other, I think) and located at Alii Plaza building across from the district courthouse in downtown, Soo Fat is there to make sure that the people that work in the business district stay "so fat." If youre ever in the area of their truck -- please try them. The wait might take a bit, since they make everything pretty fresh, but its well worth it...and the serving size is abundant. Check out their IG if youre wondering where they are. read more

Ive been in Oahu for 10 days, eating various chicken dishes almost daily. This spot has the best Chicken by far. I like how they leave the skin on, so the skin turns out similar to chicharrones. Mushroom gravy on top was a nice touch. Only issue I see is that I only ate half the plate since the portions are generous, so trying to reheat later and still keep that original crispiness will be difficult. That's just physics though. 5 stars for sure read more

I recently found out on Wednesday's during lunch you may find them near Ali'i Palace on Hotel St in Downtown Honolulu. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for late lunch. We have so many favorites here. Lechon was one of the daily specials so I got that. We also got the Oh So Famous Fried Chicken!! Both plates came with rice and tossed or macaroni salad. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful. Mahalo Rhonda, Kat, & the So Fat Crew! read more

So FAT Catering - Roast pork with mushroom gravy - Food Trucks Near Me

five stars for the gravy all ovah! SO GOOD. gotta plan ahead tho. i've only gone when they're all alii place, but learned after the first time to place your order first, go do something for at least half an hour then go back. the first time i went, i waited about 40 minutes (got there around 11, got food around 1130/1140). second time i got there right after 1030 when they opened and picked up at 11. i think both times they told me it would be 1/2 an hour. but it's worth it! i wish there were more mushrooms in the gravy, but whatever. tried the garlic chicken, but that was far less than stellar. couldn't even taste garlic. side note: i didn't notice, but #2 did NOT like the rice. wouldn't even eat it. read more

I was recommended to check out this food truck by some friends since it just so happens they were at a nearby school for an festival. The menu was straight forward, just a few items so I'm not sure if their regular location has more or not. Either way, I'm fine with a small menu as to me it seems easier to ensure all the ingredients are fresh. I was extremely tempted to go with the fried chicken but I just love a good roast pork and gravy plate so I had to have it! Pre-race day carb loading are my favorite days! The pork came with a side of mac salad and rice, both of which were good. The mac salad had some potatoes in it which I liked. Not soggy either like some places. The roast pork and gravy was pretty heavenly. Super soft shredded pork. I saw a few mushrooms in there too which was good. There is a nice amount of flavorful pork fat mixed in with the gravy as well which just makes everything better. The portions are very generous and appreciated. The gravy was literally on the verge of spilling out of the container so if you're taking it to go just be careful. Very worth the $10! They told me their regular place is in Waimanalo so I gotta go back and check it out. read more

What can I say about So Fat....it's soooo gooood! The fried chicken is a must. The chicken is made to order, so you may have to wait 10 minutes but it's worth the wait. The chicken is nice and crispy and tasty. Not sure what they do, but they're doing something right. Add rice and mac salad and it's one solid plate. The mac salad is on the mayonaise-ee side, so get da toss salad if das not for you. I've tried the garlic chicken which is just the fried chicken with garlicky sauce? As much as I love garlic, I would stick with the Orignale. Besides the chicken they do have specials and poke bowls. I tried the roast pork with homemade brown mushroom gravy. I tell you the pork was tender and gravy had choke mushroom flavor. My mouth is watering remembering how it tastes like. read more

The best food truck I've ever been to. Amazing food and sweetest owners. My sis in law raved about this truck so I was blessed to try them out during my short visit back home. They always have 3 items on their menu and you never know until same day. My sis in law, I believe, is on their mailing list because she gets a text same day when they will be at their usual spot across from Waimanalo Beach near 7-11. Their portions can feed two mainlanders or one local. They are not stingy at all with the flavors and the amount of food on the plate lunch. We ordered 10 plates today. Frickin chicken - double crunch goodness. Apparently, their chicken stays crunchy up to 3 days afterwards. Which I believe, because I tried their chicken next day and it was still crunchy right out of the fridge! Beef stew - my son ate this up and then licked the plate. So, enough said. It was great on my rice with my chicken. Garlic shrimp- Amazing! They actually made this for me as a request since I will only be here on the islands for a week. It was DA BOMB DOT COM! WOW! And, no shells except the tails. The flavor, you can tell it's been marinated and the garlic was stir fried so it wasn't harsh. Waaaaay better than Giovanni's. Did I mention, no shells? Beef luau- the leaves was flavorful and a plenty. Cooked perfectly well with the beef that shredded in my mouth. We picked up poi and poke from Shima's Market to complete our meal. Y'all need to check this truck out. The ladies are so sweet and you can't beat the quality of the meals. Pricing is by far lower than the type of meal you're served. It's a 5 star restaurant quality goodness served fresh from a truck. Waimanalo no ka oi! read more

Melt in your mouth, juicy and perfectly flavored lau lau- da kine that you open the foil and the juices come out, giving you the opportune chance to throw your rice on it to ensure that every bit of flavor makes it to your pallet. And you heard me, DA KINE, the only word that I could think of because this one good item takes me back to my Waimea, Kauai days of running in red dirt without slippers eating local cooking not done with measured spoons, but with gut intuition. Although the plate was simple (scoop rice, poke, and the lau lau) it was perfect and well rounded. The spicy poke was packed with flavor, tasting fresh with the perfect combination of cream and spice. It was so fresh and leaving the food truck so fast that you saw Chief Rhonda whipping out new batches like she does it in her sleep. I'm not sure their hours, but on their Facebook it said 1pm to close. I definitely need to make it back again to try their beef stew- it looked on point and if it is anything like what I tried it will be the epitome of "broke da mouth". read more

I personally did not visit the food truck in Waimanalo but I was told that the big, white truck is located right across from Waimanalo Beach Park/7-11 store. A co-worker of mine had ordered food from So FAT Catering (food truck) before and have raved about it for weeks. I've been bugging him to pick up for us and finally, he did. According to their Facebook page, their menu rotates day by day. Seems like they are known for their laulau plate and fried chicken plate. Today's special (3/10/2017) was pork laulau, kalua pig, and beef stew. I opted for the pork laulau. What can I say... it was so ono (delicious)! The luau leaves was so fresh, the pork was so tender and juicy, and had good amount of pork fat in it! Yum! The plate comes with one big scoop of rice and ono chicken long rice. If you're a small eater, one plate could probably be shared by two people. One choice is $10, two choices is $15, and all three choices is $20 for a plate. They also have poke bowls with Shoyu (soy sauce) Poke or Spicy Ahi (tuna) Poke for $10. If you're craving good/ono plate lunch in Waimanalo, this is the place to hit up! I definitely want to try the other plates too. read more
