    Streat Breakfast $7.50 on special regular $9.50!
    Jason M.

    Brahhhh so ono! My suggestion is to try everything! My wife and I been coming here from before when they only did food truck events and now that they get one shop off sand island and it's only 5 mins from our house it's even better! Everything is ono and you won't be disappointed.

    Salmon Katsu Overload

    My go to for the best plate lunches! Every food truck event I go to, I always look for this one! And most times, they're there! They are always hustlin' & always have a line. I mostly visit this truck at Pearl Country Club (now Pearl At Kalauao) for their monthly night market. My #1 to get here is their Salmon Katsu Overload and it's only $20!! It comes with 1-2 filets of fried katsu, topped with imitation crab, mayo, unagi sauce & Taegu! Not only that, salad, a bed of rice, & a kings Hawaiian roll. Overall, great deal for such a hefty plate! I'll definitely be looking out for this truck at my next food truck event!

    My husband was scrolling in the yelp app and saw several yelpers yelp this place on sand island access road. So today being a holiday we tried them. And boy the yelpers weren't kidding about the food. Thanks to yelper friend Allen N. He had the pork adobo fried rice and boy hes wasnt joking it was good and alot. My husband had their mini breakfast with bacon. Wow 3 eggs any way you like it made and 2 thick slices of bacon. My husband said it was too much rice for him. But it was good. My fried rice was good in the taste and the pork had some fat and lots of meat. The taste was spot on good. I have the leftover for my dinner and my husband will have smoke pork belly plate for he's dinner. No dessert today I ask the cashier and she smile. Maybe this week might have don't know. Will be back again. Please note: They do make it fresh so be expecting to wait for your food.

    After reading reviews from Jo Y. and Allen N. I told my wife let's give Str Eats of Aloha a try. Yes this is simple eatery. An interior is just a display counter for their desserts and a register. Along with a menu display sign. Service was friendly. They had a sign letting you know that food is prepared to order and it would take a few minutes to do your order. I ordered a mini breakfast with Guava Bacon. It came with two thick slices of bacon and three eggs made your way. I also ordered the Guava Pork Belly for my dinner. My wife had the Pork Adobo Fried rice. We both enjoyed our food and would not hesitate to come back.. Lots of food for the price. Jo Y. and Allen N. thanks for your reviews of this restaurant. Enjoy

    Pork adobo with fried rice
    Allen N.

    Str'Eats of Aloha is a hidden gem in the Sand Island area. Generous portions, bold local flavors, and a wide selection. Everything made to order, so be prepared to wait, especially during the lunch rush, the line can get quite long. Highly recommend a pork adobo with fried rice. The taste is ono.

    After following Str'Eats of Aloha for almost an entire year, I was finally able to catch the food truck at the Megabon Hawaii 2025. If you know this place, you're familiar with the large plates of food put out on front of the truck, all consisting of local and asian comfort foods such as shrimp katsu, Teri beef, fried noodles, and more. I ordered the Town & Country, which came with two massive shrimp katsu on a bed or of char sui fried noodles, an order of teri beef, and a large scoop of rice. If you see this food truck, run, don't walk to it. The food is ono, and you'll be wanting more as soon as you wake up from your kanak attack.

    Butter rolls
    Kainani K.

    I heard good things about Str'Eats of Aloha and decided to stop by for lunch. The young lady taking orders was really nice and patient as I asked about the different plates. I ended up getting two #2 bentos , which came with a piece of shrimp tempura, mandoo, garlic chicken, teriyaki beef, noodles and rice. I also got two guava smoked meat plates and a dozen butter rolls. The plates were $14.50 each, and they are really generous with the portions; the plates were worth the price. The garlic chicken was really flavorful and paired well with the noodles. The mandoo had a really nice umami flavor that went nicely with the teriyaki beef and noodles. My daughter and son-in-law both agreed that the smoked meat was absolutely delicious, but everyone agreed that the butter rolls were absolutely perfect! They were super soft and absolutely delicious! This will be my go-to place for butter rolls from now on. I'll definitely be back to try the roast brisket with gravy because I heard good things about this plate, and they were sold out when I got there.

    Nothin' Mayjah

    Absolutely mean plates for the money. Can't even finish it in one sitting even though the taste buds want more.

    Da manapua special is kanak attack goodness

    Located I. Sand island, parking can be tight at peak hours, was lucky , got a spot. Called in order, they do get busy. Ordered, Da manapua special, was winnahazzz. Kinda close to when I was a child. 2 pork hash, fried noodles and fried chicken. I also ordered the lechon kawali, was another winnahazzz! They sell desserts, wanted to get the ube cream puff but I think it's on certain days. This shop is only take out. Friendly staff, and many other specials. Will definitely come back, see you there .

    Went to Str'Eats of Aloha and got a Bento #2 which came with Teri beef, Garlic Chicken, shrimp Tempura, Mandoo over a bed of fried Noodles with rice and furikake. ok I've been meaning to eat here for a while and I guess it was worth the wait the Teri beef tasted good although not the flavor of old times it was good. The Garlic Chicken was tasty and the noodles were as good as it gets. The Mandoo was okay but good enough and the Shrimp Tempura was pretty good too. The plate(Bento) reminded me of some old Massive plate lunch spot of long ago was so heavy! Parking was adequate although I can see it get crowded at times. The counter girl was pleasant and made the experience good. I definitely would come back again!

    Food is on point! Great value for large portions! Definitely ordering from them again! Hit them up you will not be disappointed!

    Located right off Nimitz Hwy, on Sand Island Access Road in a small strip mall. Greeted by a friendly face, the gal taking the orders didn't rush us to decide. Take note: they aren't a fast food restaurant. They make everything as it's ordered. So if you're in a rush, maybe try someplace else that day. Both bentos were packed heavily & piping hot. Fried noodles weren't anything to complain about but weren't as tasty as others I've had. Teri-beef was soft & flavorful, mochiko chicken was hearty & tasty. Will definitely go back to try other dishes.

    Town & Country - delicious!

Every single item on the food and drink menu is crafted with such robust flavor with so much dimension in each bite. The drink menu is unique, I had a cocktail I can't remember the name of it but it had plum something and was created by one of the servers there. So cool to see employees own work on the menu, he shared with us how hard and long he worked on the craft cocktail to make it perfect. Now this is a bartender! Would definitely recommend making a reservation, unless it's just you and maybe one other than the bar is mostly open seating I think. I got lucky and walked in on a Sunday night and there happened to be two open seats at the bar which i hear is unheard of due to the popularity that is this restaurant.

I sampled the Korean Chicken Burger? I heard it was their top item so I figured I'd just try it. It was very sweet and crispy, but I'm not sure how it constitutes as anything that would make me say "wow." I sampled my friend's fish dish and this was delicious and I think I liked it better than what I got. I wish that the side that they used for the carbs wasn't potatoes and maybe a rice option? They brought some sort of fried fish ball that had a pretty good spicy tartar sauce that everyone on our table was fighting over. Overall, I think the food wasn't something I would come back for, but the service was astounding - especially when someone on our table did not like the drink they ordered - our waitress offered to take it back and serve her another drink that she hopefully liked. Ambiance is very posh and dim - yet casual at the same time. We came at a lunch hour so not too fancy, I can imagine people getting dressed up fancy to go here at night though.

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws. Eyes always bigger than my stomach, we ordered: - Cornbread - when i grabbed it I thought would be super dense but really wasn't. I thought it was very corny and tasty. Lightly toasted. Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open. Bathrooms are not assigned which I'm sure can get gross, but is great to not have to wait for just the women's. There is a big stall which was perf since baby is potty training and had to go #1 and #2! Only thing missing was a hook to hang my purse and her bag. Great dinner...but if anyone is listening...bring back the shrimp and grits!!!

Our server came over and got us started pretty quick. 3 in the group ordered mules and by the time I was ready to order one they ran out of ingredients for mules. This kind of sucked mid way through happy hour and one of the main drinks on that menu is not available. Not to worry, we tried a few of the other selections including the cucumber collins, and the mojito. We also ordered some appetizers and food, the fried mozzarella was very good, along with the wings. The wings were cooked well and were crispy. Our friends had the chicken sandwich and the fish and chips and both were enjoyed. Overall it was a good time with food and drinks and trivia. If you're around give them a try.

We came around 4PM and were surprised it was almost empty (but slowly it did get busier). Our food came with complimentary bread with guava sauce. It was really good! The bread is toasted, crispy, and buttery. Everyone in my party enjoyed it. We did not expect our food items to come in really large portions. I loved the chicken karaage! The batter was light and crispy with great flavors and had a yummy sauce drizzled on top. It also came with a scoop of rice, buttered corn, and Mac salad. Mac salad was delicious! Prime rib sandwich came with salad and au jus sauce and a side of salad. It's good but also very filling. I didn't try the burger or teriyaki chicken but was told both were delicious. After dinner, we ordered a few items from the bakery to eat on the plane. You have to take a number and wait for them to call it. I got 2 kouign Amannn, 2 Dubai coco puff, and half dozen green tea puff. The kouign amann is a circular croissant. I liked that it was soft and flaky and had a sweet, crispy glaze over it. The Dubai coco puff had a strong pistachio crunchy flavor but I thought it was way too sweet for me personally. The Star of the show are the green tea cream puffs! I would come back to just order that! The top filling tasted like a thick creamy brown butter green tea-flavored icing. The filling inside doesn't taste like brown butter and less thick but still really good. Overall, they had really good food and items from the bakery. Highly recommend the infamous green tea cream and chicken karaage dish! Customer service was quick and professional though I felt like our server wasn't that friendly lol.

I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years.

Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. Might've just been an off day or a matter of personal taste, but I'd skip it next time.

    We have been coming here for years; food is always good, not great…read more We came on a Thursday morning around 9:30 am; and figured we wouldn't have to wait, oh, were we wrong, there were 10 people in front of us. The wait actually wasn't that bad, maybe 15 minutes. It is a typically diner, counter seatings only. The service wasn't great, but not rude; they take your order and they bring you the food; no pleasantries or small talks, I guess they need to turn the tables (counter seats) quickly. We had the loco moco with fried rice and hamburger steak with multi-grain rice and toss salad; they didn't offer a choice of dressing, but the default asian dressing was delicious. The food was good with very big portions; I had a hard time finishing my loco moco. They served it with lots of yummy brown gravy, the way it should be. My wife enjoyed her hamburger steak as well. Oh, don't forget to visit the bakery side after eating; they have many super yummy baked goodies!

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
