The Musubi Truck is a must visit for anyone visiting Kauaʻi. There are a few parking stalls in front with street parking nearby, plus covered picnic tables with misting fans that make waiting in the summer heat a bit more comfortable. There's even a small merch booth to browse while your food is being made. We waited about 20 minutes, but the staff were incredibly friendly, and it was well worth it. I ordered the Lifeguard Bento, which comes with the OG fried Spam musubi, truffle tater tots, choice of poke (I got spicy mayo), and rice for $20. The fried Spam musubi was so good that I'm not sure I can eat musubi any other way now. I also thought the truffle tater tots were an odd choice to offer at first, but they ended up being some of the best tots I've ever had, and the portion was generous. The spicy mayo poke was fresh and flavorful, making the whole plate a pretty solid value. This is one spot I'll definitely be coming back to every time I come back. read more

I didn't catch pictures because we were so hungry but we grabbed the: - Chicken katsu musubi: heavenly. That's all I have to say, just heavenly. - Truffle tater tots: worth getting if you need a filler side to eat, but not necessary like the other two items. - Spicy mayo poke bowl: A. M. A. Z. I. N. G. Wow literally so good and so worth getting! Staff is friendly and trying to work hard but wow the literal longest wait ever. It's a cute spot to wait in, but we were waiting for like 40 minutes for our food. It's a little hard to find since it looks like it's in a residential area but keep looking until you find this gem! read more

We wanted to try the truck on our trip, so we stopped here before the airport. It was a bit rainy outside but still sat at the tables. Staff was very patient and helpful. Ordered the spicy mayo and there was SO much fish. I couldn't finish it. Tasted great and not much of a wait! read more

We ordered all items but the sooo tofu musubi and the other bowl items. They were all delicious! Pretty decent size too. The OG musubi is x1 per order while the others are basically 2 whole sized musubis. The fried musubi was good too if you don't like the plain white rice so much. Da Bomb musubi was a bit salty because of the beef meat but it tasted like korean bibimbap a bit (cucumbers inside). Not the best in my opinion, but could be because I'm Korean haha. The chicken katsu was good too, just typical katsu, but not bad. Good service overall too. I do recommend trying! Can get pretty busy, so early morning is good. Limited parking, so you may have to park around a few blocks down and walk over. read more

This food truck serves the best spam masubi!! We ordered 1 OG masubi for $3. We also got a meal add on for $7 which came with a Hawaiian Sun and tater tots. The chicken katsu masubi was a little more pricey at $16 but it was big and came with two pieces. I also appreciate how they gave plenty of katsu sauce. This was the perfect meal after a long hike. We took it back to our hotel room to eat in the sunshine. It was convenient to order ahead online and pick it up. read more

We finished our coastal bike ride on Kapa'a path and came here for some lunch which is fairly close to the path. We got a keiki meal and a hapa poke bowl salad meal with tator tots and a drink. The kiddo enjoyed the kids meal and the tator tots were perfectly crisp. The poke bowl was very tasty. It's outdoor seating and once the food comes there may be quite a few flies. Very nicely decorated tho. Cute area. read more

The Musubi Truck is such a fun and delicious spot. We absolutely loved it! I ordered the chicken katsu musubi and it was SOOOOO GOOD, perfectly crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying. My husband got the tofu musubi, which came with a really tasty peanut sauce that paired so well with it. The setup is also really cute and aesthetic, with a good amount of seating and umbrellas for shade, making it a great place to hang out and enjoy your food. It's definitely picture-worthy. Another plus is the location; there's plenty of street parking, and it's surrounded by other great foodie spots, so it's perfect for a little food crawl. They also sell cute merch, which I couldn't resist; I picked up a sticker for my journal! The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you love musubi or just want a cute, casual food spot, this place is a must-try. We'll definitely be back! read more

Perfect place for a snack before heading up north to Princeville . The outdoor location and space is perfect for this food truck . I have tried the usual spam musubi so I was ready to try the new takes , ahi katsu was perfectly flavorful and fresh definitely one to eat fresh and not let sit because that ahi katsu gets soggy . The da bomb music had great flavor it was like a Korean bbq musubi I wish it came with some fresh kimchi would be a great side . The spicy mayo was a nice touch but for me didn't need it . Definitely shareable items as it came in two thick pieces . read more

This food truck was delish! Small plates but packs a lot of flavor! The service was fairly quick. There was no line when we got there, and we had our food in about 10mins after ordering. It came out nice and fresh. The truck offers a few wooden tables with some shade to protect you from that hot Hawaiian sun. The ground is mainly just dirt and pebbles with the occasional Hawaiian chicken looking for food. Overall, a great little food place! read more

I love musubi, so I knew I wanted to get some for snacking on my recent Kauai trip. I stopped by Musubi Truck in Kapa'a Saturday morning right after they opened. Their set up is pretty nice, you order at the counter of the food truck and then eat in the patio. We were the first ones there, but soon afterwards a couple parties arrived, so seems to be a pretty popular spot. I got two musubi to go - the OG spam musubi ($3) and the chicken katsu ($15). I was pretty shocked at the prices for their larger musubi, which range from $15-16. I had the spam musubi right after getting it because I wanted to eat it fresh. It was pretty standard for spam musubi. The chicken katsu musubi was okay, but I just personally didn't think it was worth the price. Also, it didn't have enough chicken imo. read more

No frills, you get what you pay for food truck with exceptionally delicious spam musubi. We got the OG and the deep fried OG, and wow, what a treat. Every bite was warm, delightful, and tasty. Something so simple yet done so well. I'm salivating just writing this review. And yes, we'll be back tomorrow before heading to the airport! read more

I wish I could give this 100 stars. As many times as I've been to Kauai and as many times as I've had poke, this was by far the BEST poke i've ever had. My auntie met us at the airport with fried musubi, the OG musubi and the spicy poke and they were so nice to separate the rice and the poke so I wouldn't cook the fish while she waited for us at the airport. That was so good and we went back two more times the fish was like butter. It melted in your mouth. I have the hapa style too. And we had the Lilikoi slush float with li hing powder. The service was great. I complimented them when I finished eating and they told us that it's because they don't make it early. They make everything right to order so it's not sitting in the sauce. Super kind people. cute little spot lots of seating and misters for when it's so hot. And they even have a little souvenir section for your merch. I will be dreaming about this place until I go back again. read more

We kept seeing this spot pop up everywhere as a "must visit" in Kauai, and wow, they were right! We sampled a few musubi: the original (not pictured), the deep fried, and the Kalbi. The deep fried one was fun and indulgent, but a little on the rich side for us with all the mayo. The original was simple perfection: fresh, warm, and exactly what you want in a classic. Although it's hard to go wrong with a classic. But the true star of the show? The Kalbi Musubi. Absolute perfection! The sweet and savory beef paired with the bright, pickled veggies was chef's kiss! Every bite felt perfectly balanced and a little bit addictive. Whether you're grabbing one on the go or lingering to savor it, this place is 100% worth the stop. We're already dreaming about coming back! read more

The food here is deceptively filling! We ordered the Deep Fried OG, Ahi Katsu, Local Style Poke, Spicy Poke, slushee (flavor of the day was dragonfruit). The cuts on the poke were a good size - not too small, and big enough to make it feel like you're chewing into something. The pokes come out in a small square take out container, but the portions of poke was nice and not skimpy. Local style poke was a bit salty for my daughter but she still gave it 4.5 stars out of 5. I felt there was a bit too much mayo on the Spicy poke - probably what helped contribute to the full feeling. Ahi Katsu was a good size too - the size of what I imagine a sushi burrito should be. (I had Kenji Burger earlier today and their Sushi Burrito - which I realized was renamed to Sushi Roll - was unexpectedly small.) Deep Fried OG was pretty filling for my son too. Dragonfruit slushee - I thought the flavor syrup they used was way too sweet. Service was good. Not too long of a wait for a food truck. Our phones had no internet connection in the area so we couldn't use Apple Pay and ended up using a credit card. The area right where you order at the food truck smells a bit like sewage, but once you step away from there, it's fine. There were also lot of flies just all over and we had to keep swatting them away while we ate at the picnic tables. Chickens and birds that walk around the tables can get a bit aggressive. read more

This was my first time having Musubi, and my friends told me this was the place to go. It did not disappoint. It's a cute food truck with a pretty and large outdoor eating area. Server was friendly and helpful and food came out quickly. We shared the deep fried spam musubi, the ahi katsu large musubi, and the tater tots. The deep fried spam musubi was delicious. I loved the texture. It's definitely an indulgence. The tater tots were okay, but for $11 dollars I'd say skip them and get another Musubi. The Ahi Katsu was my favorite. Big piece of crispy Ahi with a rare center. Great proportions and a smack of flavor from the kabayaki. I'd come back for it again and again. read more

Tried the Lifeguard Bento--super filling and hit that fried food satisfaction. The original poke was outstanding--easily tied with the best I've had on the island. The truffle tots were savory and flavorful, though a bit on the oily side. The fried spam musubi was addicting--crispy, rich, and very filling thanks to all the rice and furikake. Friendly service and a laid-back, casual vibe. There are tables to sit at, and they provide wet napkins in a handy black box. Great stop if you're hungry and craving something oily and satisfying. read more

The Musubi Truck is tucked away on a side-street in Kapaa. We decided to get 3 of the "OG Spam Musubi" as a quick bite. Each was $3, super reasonable compared to other spots in Kauai. The Musubi was fresh, warm, and had a good spam-to-rice ratio. We wished there was a bit more sauce, but overall it was excellent. We'll definitely be back to try out some of their more non-traditional offerings. read more

After checking into our hotel, we stopped by the musubi truck for lunch and I'm so glad we did. There's plenty of seating with picnic tables and umbrellas. It wasn't too busy and we got our food quick. The service was great and we got some good recommendations. We got the OG Spam Musubi, spicy mayo poke bowl with ahi tuna and the slushy of the day, passion fruit, with li hing mui topping which was a sweet plum powder. Everything was incredible. The spam musubi hit, sweet and savory so perfect. The poke was fresh, and again had sweet savory notes. The slushy really surprised me, it was something so different- it was not too sweet, the tropical flavors hit so hard on a hot day. I would highly recommend stopping by! read more

Went here for our son who loves Spam and Japanese food. Dad got the deep fried spam musubi and our son wished he had that one after tasting it. He ordered the OG musubi and I had chicken katsu, the dipping sauce was a hit, it was okay but then I'm not a super big fan of Japanese food, I find it too bland for my tastebuds. Son liked it so mission accomplished. Cute setup, everything was black and white themed and very clean. Give it a try if you're a spam lover! Oh and their crispy tater tots were very good, definitely crispy and hot! read more

A local favorite, the food from this truck was worth the wait! Expect to wait 20-25 minutes at the height of lunch time, as they make everything by hand but you'll be greeted warmly and your order will be served up with a smile. The seating area is minimal--picnic benches and shade cover, but there are misters to keep diners cool in the August heat (or rain...IYKYK). Since we were vacationing we took it back to our hotel room to enjoy with the AC cranked up. OMG...sooooo ono this food and portions are generous. 10/10 def recommend! read more
