Went there twice in 1 week. That should say a lot about their food. Highly recommend for good sisig!

Man, it's been a while since I had some of Sw8 Dada's (I believe it was May of last year). Last time I went was when they were still a food truck by Waipahu festival marketplace. It was sure good to be back, and I am happy for their business to have its own place where customers can sit, not just takeout. They are now located near West Loch station by Mickey D's and Seafood City [the shops West Loch station). I live in Honolulu but it was sure worth it to take the rail to satisfy my sisig craving. I ordered their pork sisig with rice, and it sure was still delish! Pro tip for the business is using calamansi instead of lemon (but still good!). My order seems like it is for just one person but honestly, if you share it with another person, you'd still be satisfied because it is stomach-heavy! If you didn't have much to eat throughout the day, you could easily demolish the sisig dish I ordered. For drinks, they have canned sodas inside for $2.00 but I decided to get some smoothies at Hang's just doors down the place. As the parking spot may fill up, you can always drop a buddy off to pick up some to-go order. I have yet to try some of their other dishes such as their beef pares noodles. So--if you are craving ramen--try switching it up and get some of their noodles! I also recommend getting bulk orders for parties! Mahalo and I hope this business continues to reap success! read more

It is an order-at-the-food-counter experience. I got the pork sisig and lechon kawaii combo. The place was nice/decent, clean, and looked new. The service was sufficient (low contact - could be off-putting to some.) The food was cooked on the spot, at least, the fried part was. My thing is, I've had different preparations of both the lechon and sisig before. I have to say that the ones I got from home-cooked versions versus commercial versions are different (at least for me it has.) It seems as if the sisig and lechon were initially boiled to cook it thoroughly, then they fry it before they serve it to you to get that crispy feel from the skin. The thing is, the jello-like/slightly slimy texture of the fat leads one to believe that it was boiled first or at least not fried thoroughly. There's nothing wrong with boiling as long as the skin and fat come through as crispy. The skin was crispy, but the fat wasn't. Perhaps, they just need to fry it a little more. Other than that, if it was crispy throughout, I would've given it 5 stars. I'm looking forward to trying the other things on the menu like the beef pares. read more

Seen this place showcased on a couples YouTube channel and decided to come in and try for myself. They made it look and sound so good! I ordered their pork sisig with egg which cost me about $23 including tip. I'd say it was worth the cost given the portion size and the deliciousness of the pork sisig. The one thing I did not like was the Rice my plate came with. It was very wet and mushy which sucked because it killed the enjoyment of the pork sisig for me. Also, service from the cashier was not very friendly when I asked her a question, maybe she was not having a good morning. Idk. Anyways aside from that, everything else was good. Location is easy to get too, lots of convenient parking outside and dining area was very clean and up to date trendy. I do have plans to return to try their beef pares! That looks Ono too. Hope I get a better experience next time. It wasn't that bad of an experience, so I'd still recommend this place to friends and family because their pork sisig was delicious! Make sure to squeeze the lemon on top gives it extra flavor. read more

Bomb dot com out here! Been going to them from the food truck time, and now to their brick and mortar. So glad they were able to grow into this new spot, and every time I eat their sisig it keeps tasting better. Crispy pork, not too fatty, with chili pepper, lemon and rice, with drizzle of mayo. Solid portion of meat too. Swing by when you are in Waipahu! read more

Sw8 Dada's Sizzling Sisig - Pork sisig - Food Trucks Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Best sisig on Oahu! My husband and I first tried Sw8 Dada's a few years ago when they ran their shop in a small wagon outside the old Arakawa's across from Waipahu Festival Marketplace. We enjoyed our pork sisig plate order, but thought it was a little too rich for us. After all, sisig is meant to be "pulutan" to be enjoyed with beer. Fast forward to last month when we heard that they finally moved to a brick and mortar at the Shops at West Loch Station behind McDonald's. We brought visitors from the Philippines for Saturday lunch here. The new shop was only open a few months, yet they already had a lunch rush! You can hear the cook chopping pork from the kitchen the entire time. As two couples, we split one pork sisig and one chicken sisig plate, equally priced. Both plates come with two scoops of rice and a few slices of seeded jalapeño peppers, as if the chopped jalapeños on the sisig weren't enough! We loved both plates and it was a great idea to split as we can only take so much richness of the pork and leanness of the chicken! We loved the food, but will make occasional trips due to the "nutritional content" of pork sisig. I'd love to try their beef pares and pork miki soups though! It's great that Thang's smoothies is next door for a refreshing fruit drink to wash down all the savory goodness from Sw8 Dada's. As my Lolo's (grandpa's) doctor used to tell him, "everything in moderation!" read more

THE BEST sisig on Oahu, in my humble opinion. We got the chance to visit their new restaurant (not sure if the food truck shut down) located in the smaller shopping plaza near Seafood City in Waipahu. Just a heads-up, their AC is still under repair. We ordered a plate of sisig with a fried egg and a few pieces of lumpia to share. Flavors are consistently delicious, but had fewer crispy pieces this time. Portions are pretty big, unless you're a big back and can finish one on your own. 10/10 will always come back again. read more

I love sisig, it's hands down one of my favorite Filipino dishes. So for lunch, we made the drive out to Waipahu in search of a solid plate and this spot absolutely delivers! I went with the crispy pork sisig, and wow, it was everything I hoped for. Perfectly seasoned, crunchy bits mixed with tender pork, and mayo drizzle on top. Pair it with their garlic rice and it's a match made in heaven. On top of the great food, the staff here were super friendly and welcoming the kind of local hospitality that makes the meal even better. I'm already craving another plate... definitely long overdue for more of that delicious sisig! read more

People have been telling me that this is a great place for sisig. I decided to try it out while I was in the area. It's a small food truck parked in a lot across from the Waipahu Festival Marketplace. Be aware that they will be moving to a new location in October. The sisig was chopped up and prepared as ordered. It came out hot, crispy and flavorful. There's a choice of pork or chicken. Beef pares is also available. I'll have to try that next time. Prices were reasonable for the plates. Staff were super friendly and service was quick. Great food truck popular with the locals. read more

We heard about this a place from our fellow Yelper's. We were in the area and stopped by to see what all the hype was about. Yep their Pork Sisig was delicious. Served with a Fried Egg and Garlic Rice. The lady at the front counter was amazing. She has to be the ultimate multi tasker. Taking orders, answering the phone, putting together orders, and handing out the orders. Nice cozy dining room. Take out available. read more

When you're in Waipahu and craving for Sisig, come here. I ordered a Chicken Sisig plate with rice and I shared it with my Husband. The portions are so good! Comes with the two perfectly cooked rice. An important aspect of our food especially because I need to eat it with every bite. I like to eat my food right away so my Hubby and I eat in the car. There's usually some parking spots available right in front of their food truck. There is a bit of a wait after you order your food but look at the presentation, you can tell they really take their time to make it taste and look good. I noticed the sign on their truck. They are moving to a different location in October, so excited for them! read more

Gone here multiple times and the food always hits the spot. I must admit, I wish they had a better location which should be soon. Sign on their truck says in September that they're relocating. If you're looking for a spot to sit down and eat... this is not the place. It's a food trailer so it is only take out. The sisig is delicious and full of flavor. My advice to you is eat it right away. I've gone there once where I didn't eat it right away and although it was still delicious, it had lost texture. They have chopped up crispy pork skin chopped into the sisig and if you wait too long... just don't wait. The plate comes with lemon and peppers and it makes it a whole lot better so make sure you squeeze that lemon. I do however wish that they chopped up the peppers with the meat but it's a nice spice eating it with the food. Overall, it's a great spot to get food and prices are pretty good. Hopefully their new location will be better because I would love a seating area so I can eat on the spot rather than having to eat in my car. read more

I love sisig and THIS right here was so GOOD!!! It's very hard to come by delicious sisig and this just hit the spot. $14 dollars well spent. Hefty portion of sisig that is crispy, meaty, little bit vinegary/salty/savory and creamy with the (kewpie mayo) I think that's what it is, and the rice has crispy garlic bits on top. The BEST sisig hands down I ever tasted. Mahalo Sw8 Dada's Sisig!! read more

Sw8 Dada's Sizzling Sisig - Food Trucks Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

I've been going here since they had their little wagon. Congrats to the owners on their brick and mortar store in Waipahu now located next to Ribs & Broth and Hou Fish Market. The restaurant is nice and clean and well laid out. Kinda reminds me of a sportsbar because of all the TVs hanging! Of course the fav go to dish is the crispy sisig! Combination of crispy skin and juicy pork, can't go wrong with that! The mayo on top adds another level of richness! My kids love to eat their beef pares soup with noodles instead of rice. It's perfect for those cold days/nights. For the first time, I tried the crispy bulaklak! Wow! It tastes so onolicious you KNOW it's bad for you hahaha! The gout is worth it! Also, the menu has grown from their wagon days. The owners are so friendly and always greet you hello! I love supporting these kinds of local businesses! read more

Service was quick. I'll come back for the pork sisig! read more

Ah, waited for this place to finally open in their brick and mortar location in the strip mall that has so many other local and ethnic food restaurants along with Pizza Hut-Waipahu. As usual, i dislike the parking stalls here in this parking lot as they are sized width-wise between a compact stall size and full/regular sized parking stall. Even with a small suv vehicle, I had to make sure that i would not tap the adjoining vehicle's side exterior by putting my hand around the edge of my door when exiting. My friend and I came on Thursday, October 16th, the following week of their soft-opening that past Saturday according to the initial Yelp reviewer who wrote the first review while the business settled into its long delayed to open location. We arrived at 10:36 am and already was stopped just outside the front door due to the one line of customers waiting for their turn to order (as there was just one cashier). From the door to the cashier took us another 15 minutes... and we both put in an order for the pork sisig (without the egg), friend also got the beef pares), but this review will just center on the pork sisig. The female cashier had a nice smile and friendly demeanor and after putting in our order, she said it would take about 15 to 20 minutes. While i was standing in line practically all the tables seats and 2 of the 3 bar stools were occupied, come to find out.. all one but party were awaiting their orders for pick up only. As we waited, we sat at the two seat table closest to the left wall window where the foods are chopped... so nice to see its operation with NOTHING to hide... there was also another large viewing window looking into the kitchen preparation section. While waiting, i counted (5) tables for 4. (1) table for 2, 3 bar stools to the right of the entry to seat and eat on the counter facing out, and one large wooden picnic table with rounded corners (good for safety) with two wooden benches that would seat three (3) each on both sides. The cashier called our number 16 minutes later and I wanted to confirm with her once more whether there was a service charge for using plastic credit/debit cards. Only because she asked that question when we first paid (which was by my debit card). She said and i quote, "service charsge if using CREDIT cards, but no service charge fee when using DEBIT cards". I thought i heard it wrong, so just asked to verify once more, and she repeated it.. Yes, a charge if using CREDIT cards and NO, if using DEBIT cards... I told her I was so happy to know that! She smiled proudly! Brought it home which was not far from the restaurant, less than 8 minutes away and finally opened the cover of my meal... This three section compostable plate comes with two scoops of rice topped with an abundance of fried garlic (but did not look to be freshly fried garlic) but fried garlic chips as found at oriental sections of the supermarkets OR fried garlic chips that were fried in advance. There was also included a large green jalapeno pepper and a large cut slice of lemon, perhaps almost 1/4 size of a full lemon. Mind you, that jalapeno was some hot s**! Ha ha, i took it for granted that it was mild, like so many other jalapenos i have eaten as i took a large bite and kind of paid the price of hot and spice! I love things hot, but i was caught off guard on this... thinking it was just mild... don't take a large bite (i took almost one half of the whole jalapeno and started chewing it). I added the lemon juice squeezed onto the sisig and yes, it offers a different taste compared to eating it without the juice (be it if there were calamansi or lemon)... Being Filipino second generation, this sisig was not what I remember eating when i was way younger in my youth...(you know, the one with real body parts from the face/ears, etc.).as this was strictly pork belly used. Chopped so fine for my taste, it was easy to swallow... so retirees with dentures... no problem... so very easy to swallow! But ahhh, for my taste, i want it chopped just a little into larger sizes. The taste was also skewed with the dressing put on top (mayo with i don't know what)... I would call this fusion style pork sisig, not the OG version. Quite satisfying for my friend and I eating this, but I was not having it... I don't feel a need to eat their version any more in the future. There was nothing wrong... seriously... but if you were to eat traditional pork sisig alongside with this 'fusion' style pork sisig, I think I would eat the OG version... (as long as no one tells me that parts of the pig's face and ears are used... haha). This is a meal you just have to try it yourself and decide... as everyone has different tastes... but for me, it was not what i expected it to taste. But it still garners a 4 star rating from me! Still, I would recommend Sw8 Dada's diner to try... read more

ALWAYS MY FAVORITE SISIG!!!! Absolutely love this place! Always hits the spot and now whenever my family from the mainland come I always bring them here to eat! They now accept card! Yay!!! But ofcourse as many businesses do 3% surcharge. The parking sometimes has the gate up and just drive right in or you grab a ticket and they charge for parking but the first 2 hours is free with validation. So don't have to worry too much about that. The parking can also be a bit tight. Thanks for making the best sisig! lol read more

I've been a huge fan of this place when they had their food truck. Everytime I've been to the new location I've been disappointed. I went back again this week to try the Pork Lechon and it was a disappointment. First of all, the cost for what you get js not so good. Almost $18 and not that much meat? And not good at all. Felt sick after. Overpriced now. More better the last place and just stick with the sigsig. read more

Little food truck located in Waipahu in the parking lot of the old Arakawas store! Yes I remember that place. Ordered the pork belly sisig. Let me tell you it's not like the traditional sisig I've seen before. Made from crispy pork belly. Chopped very small and fat content minimal. It was so good! Mixed with diced Jalapeño and topped with a drizzle of mayo. Served with warm rice and you have a pork belly winner! Service was pretty quick considering it's just 2 people. Friendly and helpful. Strictly takeout. It does get busy and they do sell out so go early and get yours! read more

I've heard great things about Sw8 Dada's Sisig, so we finally decided to try it and ordered both the pork and chicken sisig plates since we are around the area. To be honest, I've had more authentic and better sisig in the Philippines, but this is probably the closest you'll get on the island. I also like the crunch on the pork sisig. The flavors were good and definitely satisfied my sisig cravings. However, I feel it could be even better if served on a sizzling plate with traditional sides like soy sauce, calamansi, Thai chilis, and the option to add an egg on top. For the garlic rice, instead of white rice topped with fried garlic, a fried garlic rice would also be better. That's definitely the classic sisig I know but for the price, and for the food they can deliver in their small truck, it's still a solid option. Hope they can expand soon and have a place to dine in as well. Overall, it's a good to-go place for your sisig cravings. They also do catering, the price is right and the service is friendly. read more

Sw8 Dada's Sizzling Sisig - Food Trucks Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Where Tommy go...I like go. Saw him eat this yesterday then I wanted some too @tommy__eats . SW8 Dada's Sisig @sw8_dadas_sisig has three main dishes on their menu: sisig (you can pick crispy pork or chicken) and beef pares, both served with either rice or noodles. I'm a big fan of their Pork Sisig because they keep it simple--no snout or liver mixed in. Just juicy, crispy pork paired with garlic rice, all freshly chopped when you order. Their Beef Pares is a cozy, satisfying meal that really hits the spot. The beef is cooked until super tender with bok choy. For a bit of background, sisig is a classic Filipino dish made from flavorful grilled pork that's fatty and tangy thanks to a sour citrus twist lemon. Pares, or beef pares, refers to a Filipino braised beef stew served alongside garlic rice and a beef broth. If you haven't checked them out yet, you'll find their shiny silver food truck parked near the Waipahu Festival in the heart of Waipahu, close to the old sugar mill.

A small food truck that doesn't skimp on making their customers happy. Located in a parking lot, you can park in the same lot or across the street for access to them. Be advised, it's a grab and go situation and the lot they are parked in has no seating available so you can walk across the street by the grocery store and eat there or in your car. Cash payment is preferred and they can take credit cards. I'm unsure if they charge a fee if paying by card but since they are a smaller business, cash is king at this spot. Ordering was easy and there are some pictures to depict what they serve. I was unaware that chicken sisig was an option but they have it here. The menu is short, sweet and to the point. My only wish is that they had bird's eye peppers to add some spice to the dish. The jalapeno slices did the trick and it gave it an appropriate amount of heat. No issues ordering and the people working were very gracious. My order took maybe 10 minutes but it was a good portion, hot and flavorful. They also have a small selection of beverages (non-alcoholic). Be aware of the hours and check before you go. It was out of the way for me but you know how it is when you have a taste for a certain dish. Happy to support this small business as I enjoyed my food. If in the area, I'd eat here again. read more

We went here on a whim as it's on our list of places we were told to try. This is a food truck and a very simple and humble one. They serve chicken and pork sisig and rice. The person working asked if we wanted garlic rice and I said that sounds great! Each sisig came with two scoops of garlic rice some spicy peppers on the side and a lemon. I was hoping for a calamansi but the lemon worked. Overall the sisig was delicious and the portion was generous for the price. But why just a 4 and not a 5? It's simple really. I'm filipino and have had family cook sisig, myself included. I've also been to the Philippines and they have a restaurant chain all about sisig there served on a sizzling flat skillet. This to me was pretty normal and traditional. Given the hype I've heard, we were expecting something solidly sisig but something creative and slightly out of the box as well. Also, the use of lemon over calamansi made the taste different. Would I buy this again? Definitely. I'd buy their pork platter for an event as a tray. This was worth the try and at least it was a good traditional sisig plate. read more
