At…read moreEat the Street this past weekend, the food truck was so colorful and welcoming, I had to go over and see their options. With a number of deliciously interesting dishes, I settled on the Crawfish Etouffee! In a creamy white and red sauce, the large succulent crawfish were perfectly done. With just a bite of heat, all the flavors complimented each other each. The rice and sides were perfectly presented; it was as appetizing as delicious. I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the truck and simplicity of the ordering and payment. Credit cards are accepted. Both the chef and cashier had that southern hospitality and welcoming manner. I can't wait to give their other items a try very soon! Bon appetite!

My second visit was this past Thursday for the Maker & Tasters Ramenagogo event, so my bf and I tried their creole saimin. We were both very dissapointed. Our food came out cold, so we asked them to reheat it. From the time we arrived to the time we left was almost an hour because it took FOREVER for them to make the food each time. Also, it didn't taste that good. They were nice enough to comp us bourbon bread pudding since we were dissatisfied--that was really yummy (nice and gooey, not too sweet)! We noticed another customer was waiting forever too, so he asked to be comped a bread pudding. My advice: only come here if you're willing to wait.

This is my first review of 2026!…read more Tonight I enjoyed the sticky rice with chicken anticucho and it is my favorite meal of 2026 so far. The chicken thighs were beautifully seasoned and slightly charred. The meat was cooked all the way through yet still juicy with bone in thigh. The purple sticky rice was perfectly done and I love the texture of sticky rice in general. The plate also came with sliced cucumbers and pickled mustard greens (reminiscent of Vietnamese pickled mustard greens - but in a much more vibrant green color). My favorite part of the meal was the tart and aromatic sauce that came in the meal. If you're not a fan of lime juice and fish sauce, you may want to use sparingly. However, I was thoroughly enjoying the sauce and when accompanied with a bit of the mustard greens, it toned down the sour aspect of the flavor profile. Overall, so delicious and I would love to find them again and enjoy more of their menu items!

Navigating Oahu's mobile food scene means knowing where to look. Khao and Papas is one of those…read moreitinerant food trucks with a constantly changing dynamic schedule, popping up in another place almost daily. Using Yelp's Mobile Food Trucks search will identify them but you need to use another app to actually find out where they are. I ran across them on a weekend in my neighborhood and stopped by. The food is a fusion of Peruvian and Laotian by husband-wife team, Juan Ching and Kim Thepsenavong. There is a long history of Japanese cuisine fusing with Peruvian - it's called Nikkei. But other Asian cuisines, especially Southeast Asian, also blend seamlessly with Peruvian staples. Think about the heavy use of pepper and spice in Laotian cuisine. You've been in restaurants where the heat scale is hot, Thai hot, and Laotian hot. Peppers were only introduced into Southeast Asia in the 16th century. Peru is one of the recognized birthplaces of peppers, with over 300 varieties and a 7,500 year history of cultivation. Peruvian Laotian fusion works when you do it right. I had a beef anticuchos skewers plate with Laotian accompaniments. The anticuchos had a nice smokey sweet dark color from aji panca paste. The rice was Laotian, with black and white grains of sticky rice. There was pickled Laotian som pak, a vinegar marinated mustard cabbage. A fine blended salsa-like jeow mak len, full of charred tomato smokiness, savory paedek fish sauce, garlic, shallot, bird's eye chiles, and lime, was terrific on top of the marinated beef. I hope I run into Khao and Papas again one day so I can try their grilled chicken. Until then, I have the memory of a fine take-out plate of Peruvian Laotian fusion comfort food.

Bozie's is legit according to my boyfriend who has tried BBQ in Nashville…read more The customer service here is unlike any other place. We were offered samples of the spare ribs. The samples themselves were more than generous. The homemade BBQ is divine. The meat is tender and smokey, reminiscent of the keawe wood. My boyfriend and I wanted to try the brisket, but the man was sold out--rightfully so. We settle on the rib tips. Make sure to bring cash to avoid the $2 surcharge. Also be sure to tip! Bozie deserves all the love and support. The kindest human, best bbq and fair prices. Will definitely be back! This business is located by the McDonald's on the gas station on King St, McCully area. Check it out!

The flavor on the burger was fantastic, especially with the soft brioche bun. The sauce was good, but I would ask for less next time to keep it less messy and less artery clogging. The tots were cooked perfectly and were deliciously seasoned with a cajun type spice. The truck seemed clean and the girl who took my order was very friendly (didn't get her name sadly!). Absolutely will be on the lookout for these guys again!

This food truck is a MUST-GO food truck. Amazing burger, friendly staffs with reasonable prices. I ordered "The Double Dragon" at a Friday night market in downtown. Since all the burgers were freshly made, the waiting time was less than 10 mins. I also added $2 to substitute the chips to french fries. My burger was really really delicious. Double 1/4 lb patties with American cheese, caramelized onion with pickle mustard sauce. The burger was incredibly juicy and the sauce was a bomb. In addition, the fries were so crunchy and well seasoned. I also tried their Typical Burger which was also fantastic. Must try. I would highly recommend them to everyone. Always love supporting local businesses.

The cashier's warm and friendly greetings where the highlight of the meal.

Atb$18 for each, it's reasonably priced and their portions are large enough to have leftovers. The porchetta sandwich is packed with thinly sliced pork and slivers of crispy skin, lots of peppery arugula, and a spicy sauce. It's a very tasty and filling sandwich. Their bread is also very good. The half chicken plate is such a good deal! The organic chicken half is very large and meaty, and it comes with roasted vegetables and potatoes. Easily 2 meals.

It's nice to see a local business continue to provide excellent food at a reasonable price.

They give a lot of pork so you can make another sandwich or eat it with rice when you get home - half chicken and roasted veges - the roasted veges were super yummy, perfectly cooked. The chicken just came out of the rotisserie, yet it was fairly dry. Plus super salty on the outside. Squeezing the lemon and dipping with the chimichuri type sauce was tasty.

Most of them were about $13 each or $18 for two choices. Feeling thirsty? A bottle of water will run you $2 which is way more than what shirokiya charges and they can be a rip off but on the bright side it's less than what aloha stadium or blaisdell will charge! Haha! Their line was long! Really long! We were probably in line for more than 30 mins and the poi Mochi line next to us was just as long but went a lot faster. Why? They gave out some samples of some kind of bbq pork. It looked tasty while it was piled high on a plate, but they didn't offer any tooth picks so people just shoved their fingers in it and I didn't feel it was sanitary so we passed on that. The people behind us said it was quite over cooked. When they called out our order we could hardly hear them yell out their names but it seemed like there was some mix ups or something cause there was a brief moment of sheer confusion. The food was good but it's not the most instagrammable food item. Seriously. Lol. But we were starving and we chowed down on it. The Mac salad has something in it that makes it taste a little different? Tuna maybe? It doesn't taste like there's just salt and mayo cause I normally don't like Mac salad. Lol.

The combo was $18, and if you only get one item it's $15. We got the Kalbi and BBQ Chicken combo. Chicken was flavorful, and the skin was charred, yet crunchy and flavorful to eat. The boneless Kalbi was a bit tough, and I've had Kalbi at other places to know that it should be a bit more tender, although it was flavorful.

Takeout Lunch from Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Shrimp and steak plate or Steak and shrimp plate... I like both! Knowing that this Food Truck on Cooke Street (in front of Imperial Plaza) opens at 10am on Mondays through Fridays, I parked on the street before 10am to beat the crowd at Meatheads. As soon as they opened, I placed my order and waited a few minutes for the grill to heat up. The young man politely asked me what kind of dressing I wanted... Italian, please! Also, I chose "garlic" instead of "teriyaki" steak. I took a photo before taking my container to the car. I couldn't wait to get home. The fragrance was so delicious! I ate some tender pieces of steak while driving! Wow! That garlic seasoning is addicting! When I got home, I ate the smokey shrimps (about 7 pieces) and was glad that my sink was nearby to wash my hands! The shells are split, and the tails are intact. Haha! The two scoops of rice and tossed salad were okay! This was a quick, yummy lunch! I'll stop by again when I'm nearby!

Happen to come upon this cute trailer on Cooke Street known for various food trucks though this one is new to me and got me a bit curious and seem to be the answer to "what's for lunch". Meatheads obviously serves up some proteins Steak, Chicken and Shrimp though I had my concerns of cross contamination but on a grill versus fryer isn't that concerning for me and thought this would be perfect for lunch. The menu board is understandable yet confusing with little description as I'm not a fan of asking a million questions for each item though with a bit of clarification decided to go with the "Mini Steak" plate at $12 was just the perfect size. Along with one scoop of rice, and iceberg salad mix (1000 island, ranch or Italian) the 3oz of sliced steak with either teriyaki or garlic sauce the steak is done medium rare I assume unless specified and with some seating area provided by Imperial Plaza a quick bite is easily done here, they seem very new as their Instagram @meatheadskakaako has only 9 posts...go guys! Thank you!
