    Cashew nut chicken

    Customer service was non-existent. The fried chicken and pad Thai had no taste. The cashew nut chicken was drowning in a pool of oil.

    Panang curry and spring rolls
    Lauren G.

    Service was ok, we asked for recommendations on what to choose and she didn't want to answer. Food was decent and portion sizes were good, just wasn't really what we were looking for in terms of flavor.

    Eggplant Basil
    Karen G.

    Found this place exploring a food truck village after reading reviews. The Eggplant Basil was delicious however I left one star off due to lack luster customer service. The lady was watching something on her phone and seemed bothered by customers!

    Thai food and beer. I'm good. Best Thai food at the Sugar Mill. Pai Thai medium extra peanuts is where it's at

    Pad Thai

    Okay I knew this place as the "Thai Food" food truck but this place is BOMB!!! I ate the best pad Thai of my life here - no joke. I'm not sure about their other dishes, but I'm sure we'll be back! The summer rolls looked really good so I'll be trying those next time!

    Holy crap, this place is awesome!!! Pad Thai chicken/shrimp, panamg curry, fried rice and spring rolls, all f'ing amazing!!!!!!! (Cash only) Do it. Do it now.

    Amazing food (I forget exactly what I got but it was absolutely amazing... it was like pad thai but slightly different). The restaurant itself is a little outdated and not the cleanest looking, but the outdoor patio area is super nice and clean! Definitely hit the spot- I would order again.

    Green Papaya Salad
    Ange M.

    I actually went to Famous Kahuku first but they didn't have any Squid so I remember that this Thai truck had really good green papaya salad. We went late on a Saturday so it wasn't crowded. I ordered Green Papaya Salad and Fried Calamari. The papaya salad was perfect, I wanted medium heat. The calamari was really disappointing, it had no flavor so it was kind of like chewing on fried rubber. My friend ordered the Chicken Panang and said it was alright.

    Delicious Fresh Coconut!! Ordered the Summer Roll and it was so delicious and refreshing! The peanut sauce was so tasty too! If your in the area, definitely give this place a try.

    Fried long rice (chicken)
    Anna Marie R.

    I think we found a new favorite Thai place! Thai Zap was amazing. We usually go to another Thai food truck nearby but we saw the reviews for this one and had to try it out. Hubby ordered boring steak and shrimp for $13.99. It was predictable but that is what he wanted. Daughter ordered chicken fried long rice noodles (10.99) and that was a beautiful orange color and the taste was superb. I got larb gai (10.99) and it was really good. Not as pungent as other larb gai I've had but so delicious. Everything had fresh veggies including big chunks of fresh cucumber on the side. Portions were generous. I couldn't finish mine and I'm taking it home for later. The service was polite and prompt. We will eat here again. My only suggestion is to replace the plastic one time use boxes with eco friendly ones but I think that soon the whole island will have to do that. So glad to have another Thai food option nearby!

    Food was good only thing I felt needed some work was their calamari, it was a little to chewy for me and seemed like it wasn't cooked all the way through. Overall their customer service was great and their curries is a must when coming here. They also have fresh ice cold coconuts on the spot and tastes amazing. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

    Panang curry
    Kylie R.

    I feel bad leaving a bad review but if you like watery curry this place is for you. We ordered yellow and Panang curry and we couldn't eat more than a few bites. So bad.

    The view from the Thai place
    Alvin Y.

    Came here during a nice weekend after playing in the tide pools. We decided to check out the other side of the sugar mill (the side that isn't as crowded), and this little thai truck didn't disappoint! The pad thai was just what one craves when they want pad thai. Rice noodles and flavorful "red sauce", fried egg bits, cooked in a BLAZING HOT WOK, that comes out with caramelized flavor you can only get under high heat. I got my pad thai with "medium spice" although i know that isn't authentic, it tasted very good nontheless. It's on the salty side, but hey, it's food truck food and it satisfies a craving for thai food. All this at a price of 11 bucks for a large box. It's a good deal, good food.

    Literally the best shrimp I ever had. Absolutely delicious!!…read more I don't say that lightly either. It was otherworldly!! The staff was great too!!!! I'll be back!

    Giovanni's is one of those places where memory does a remarkable amount of the seasoning. I've been…read moreeating here across decades. Enough visits that this is no longer about catching them on a bad afternoon, ordering the wrong thing or failing to understand what the place is supposed to be. I've tried the different shrimp, stood in the lines, eaten at the tables, navigated the parking, brought people here and returned because, for a very long time, Giovanni's was simply one of those places you went when you were on this side of the island. At some point, repetition becomes evidence. The truck itself has become an artifact. Covered in signatures, battered by time, photographed millions of times. There was probably a period when all of that felt charming. Now it mostly feels tired. There is a difference between patina and neglect and the surrounding experience has increasingly crossed that line for me. Flies, crowded tables, overflowing activity, rough parking, heat, trash nearby. You can romanticize rustic only so far before rustic starts asking for a pressure washer. Then there is the service, which has consistently been the hardest part for me to understand. I don't need anyone performing hospitality like they're auditioning for a resort commercial, but basic warmth costs nothing. Too often the interaction here feels impatient and transactional, as though the customer is somehow inconveniencing the operation by showing up to buy the food. After enough visits, you stop calling that an off day. And then there is the plate. The shrimp itself is actually the least offensive part. It is generally cooked reasonably well. Tender enough, rarely destroyed and when you get a good batch you can understand why this formula became so popular. Everything around it drags it down. The rice has repeatedly been soft, clumped and bordering on mushy. I am annoyingly particular about rice, but rice is not some decorative substance placed beneath the main event. It matters. When half the plate is rice, screwing it up is not a minor detail. The garlic is abundant, certainly, but abundance and care are different things. It often arrives more like a wet mass of processed garlic than the fragrance and texture you get from properly chopped fresh cloves. Add the butter and oil and you certainly get intensity, but after several bites the whole thing becomes heavy rather than interesting. The little salad on the side generally feels like an afterthought that has been waiting for someone to remember it. And that is ultimately my problem with Giovanni's. The entire experience feels as though its reputation arrived at the destination years before the restaurant did and everyone decided there was no longer much reason to keep improving. People will continue coming. Of course they will. The name is famous, the truck is recognizable, the photographs are practically mandatory and nostalgia is one hell of a business model. I understand it because it worked on me for years. But strip away the mythology and ask a brutally simple question: If this exact plate came from an unknown truck with no history, no signatures and no reputation, would you still wait in line for it? I wouldn't. Two stars. The shrimp can still be decent and I have too many memories here to pretend the place means nothing to me. But nostalgia should bring you back to a restaurant. It shouldn't be responsible for making the food taste better. I kept returning because tradition can turn habit into taste. I'm done confusing the two.

    Had heard about Eighty Chicken Sandwiches from a couple pre-trip searches and wanted to make it one…read moreof our must-go dining stops on this trip. We drove up to get there just before noon on a Saturday. It was rainy, so the numbers were a bit light in the area, but there were still thirteen people in line when the truck opened for business. The owner was fun, friendly, and engaging the customers in conversations while prepping the food. There are times when I think some food truck owners take on the role of a short order cook and get annoyed that you don't understand "how" you're supposed to order; that was certainly NOT the case here. You just need to decide if you want a hot or regular sandwich and whether you want bleu cheese or special sauce. We got one hot and one regular, but the chicken is HUGE and two adults can easily share one sandwich. I'm torn, because while we would probably order just one sandwich next time, I also want to support the business and get two. The chicken was as good as everyone told us and had incredible crispy batter. The fries though...those were maybe the best I've ever had. I don't normally love the double cooked style fry, but could live off those and never get tired of them. FYI...we took ours to eat at the Beer Garden about 100 yards to the west and that's a winning combo.

He gives excellent clear directions on how to order your sandwich. I love that the concept is simple. Order the number of sandwiches you need for your party. Do you want spicy or not? (Spicy is delicious and not too spicy at all.) Do you want blue cheese sauce or "dat sauce" which is like fry sauce? No drinks available so bring your own or take it to the beer garden nearby and get an adult beverage. Cash or Venmo only. The price is $20 for a huge chicken sandwich, delicious fries, and your side of sauce along with a cup of ketchup. My sandwich was MASSIVE. Honestly, you could split with another person--but I always want my own. Well worth the drive out to get it. Saturdays and Sundays only; check his Instagram for updates.

Definitely worth stopping in at Seven Brothers Restaurant and or the bakery as well. Back to Mikes, You'll walk up and spot signage plus the yellow signature bus shack. I'd seen Mikes Huli Chicken on an episode of Diners Drive Ins and Dives and Guy said "the skin is as crispy as it gets next to being fried." That never left my memory. This being my next visit since seeing that episode, I had to try it. What did I order? - Mikes Huli Chicken Plate $17: 4/5 Stars - Chicken is a nice half chicken portion, perfectly juicy, nicely slight char taste. Crispy skin? Unfortunately no. - The Mac salad is nice. - Generous serving of rice *** Mikes Huli sauce is delicious! Be sure to find the self serve bottle and the to go sauce cups and get you some extra. You'll walk up and place your order at the window, pay, cash or card, then find yourself a seat. The cashier was simple and quick to the point. No small talk. The seating area within mikes truck is a decent size accommodating roughly 15 to 20 people. Outside, there additional tables as well. Overall, I'd say if you're in the area, give it a try, it will neither blow your socks off nor disappoint. Mikes is a solid Huli Chicken plate. It simply delivers satisfying meal.

    Meh. I feel like the quality of Mike's has gone downhill…read more I stopped by yesterday during a trip to the North Shore to get some lunch. I got the #9 plate, which is kalua pork, huli chicken, and I got mac salad. The kalua pork meat itself was fine. Not gristly and not too fatty. However, barely any smoke taste to it and was fairly bland. The huli chicken didn't have crispy skin. It seemed lukewarm like it had been cooked a while earlier and was just sitting. The sauce is amazing and I do think it's delicious with the sauce. Rice was just rice. Meh. Even adding shoyu didn't add much flavor to it, to be honest. The mac salad is extremely bland. I don't know if they need to add some acid to the mayonnaise or more salt, but it was pasty and no flavor. I would honestly skip getting the mac salad next time and get regular salad! That's how bad this mac salad was. Two slices of pineapple on the plate were fresh and flavorful. I did enjoy these. Service was okay. I had asked if they still honored kama'aina discount and was told no. That's fine; I understand not all places offer discounts. I don't know when kama'aina discount stopped being offered, but back in the day I used to receive it when asking. I did notice though that two guys who ordered before me got a "mahalo, braddah" in a friendly tone but I got a terse "thanks." Guess haole girls don't get mahalos even if local. It's just uncomfortable when certain people get friendly, effusive mahalos and others get terse thanks, like I didn't want to be serving you food today. Maybe cause it was Mother's Day and they didn't want to be there? Sure didn't feel like 'ohana today. So many flies around, it made eating uncomfortable. A few fly fans on tables but not at the one where I was seated, so it was basically like constantly shooing away flies and trying to take a bite of food super fast before they came back on my food. Probably I should have taken my food away and gone to the beer garden nearby with fewer flies. Meh. I used to really like Mike's but I will stick to Da Bald Guy and Seven Brothers when I visit the sugar mill in the future.

    Sorry late post! This was about a month from posting this!…read moreMy family, bf, and I wanted to support food trucks today for our lunch, so we decided to head to the Kahuku Sugar Mill I wanted a garlic shrimp plate and this is usually my go-to spot. I love the garlic smears they leave on the rice and that it's almost like a paste (my preference lol). Though it is very oily/buttery (almost like a pool) where they have the shrimps- still really Ono! My dad wanted to try their squid and shrimp plate (garlic butter combo)- he said he enjoyed it!

Not sure if this was an off day, or if I got a bad batch of shrimp (everything else wasn't good either) but it was horrible. We walked around the entire food truck area trying to decide what we wanted. We came to this area for Da Bald Guy but he was sold out so on to the next option. Shrimp on the island is my go to and so I decided to try Famous. Their pictures on the menu looked great so I ordered a plate to split with my husband of spicy and garlic shrimp with two scoops of rice. It was $20. I paid as my husband went over to Mikes Huli Huli Chicken to see about getting an appetizer. My food came out super fast. Like almost too fast... My husband asked why it was so quick. I think I found out. We sat at the brewery bar area and grabbed a beer and opened the to go box. It looked good. The spicy was clearly spicier than the garlic shrimp. I grabbed a garlic shrimp and started to peel it and was having a hard time. It was not letting go of the shrimp. That is usually a sign that it was thawed incorrectly or overcooked. My guess was these were shrimp that were cooked earlier and sat... overcooking. Once I finally got the skin off and ate one the shrimp was grainy and super rubbery. They were gross. Absolutely gross. I took a scoop of rice and it was mushy. Again seems like it sat for a long time and over cooked. It was a ball of mush. I couldn't get back two bites before we threw it away. There goes $20 and sadly my confidence that all shrimp trucks on the island are magical and taste great.
