    The best Thai style fried rice I've had in awhile! The food is awesome! The service is great! Yes, it's a food truck and no seating to eat there, but it's worth the visit! When I first tried it, I had it three times in a week. That's how good it was! Def will be back for the awesome food and quick service!

    Pad Thai with tofu
    Tammy L.

    Wanted to try this place based on its high Yelp rating. I visited about 30 minutes before closing and ordered the pad Thai with tofu. Service was quick, and the portion size was generous, with plenty of steaming hot noodles. However, the sauce was a bit overwhelming, soaking into the noodles, and the tofu had a strong sour flavor--perhaps too much vinegar or tamarind? My friend tried some of my noddles and tofu and felt the same way. It might have just been an off night or an accidental overuse of sauce, so I'm willing to give this food truck another try.

    The food here is delicious! Good portions. Price is reasonable, too, considering it is a food truck. When I went, they just opened at 11am. Had two staff working. I ordered plenty so it took a decent time to get the food. There isn't shade besides the awning from the food truck but that gets taken up if there is a line and depending on the positioning of the sun that time. No chairs and tables to sit at. You can always put up foldable chairs by your car in the parking lot though and eat. That's what we typically do.

    Chicken pad se ew

    Thongs Thai wagon was delicious! First time today, June 21, 2025 and it won't be our last. The service was great, friendly staff. we ordered the spring rolls which comes with six fried eggrolls. We ate it up and wanted more so we went back and ordered another order and We also ordered chicken pad, Thai and chicken pad se ew. Which we thought all were delicious. It was cooked fresh made to order. The prices were favorable. They were generous with their portions and we enjoyed every bite, they are located in Waikele along with other food trucks. Glad we tried Thing's Thai! If we lived in the area we would definitely come back more often. Highly recommend if you like Thai food. To go only type of place.

    We were lookong for Starbucks in the Waikele Center and stumbled upon Thong's Thai Lunch Wagon. It was close to Leonard's Malasadas Truck. Anyways, the food looked good and reasonably priced. I only got a Thai Iced Coffee. It was smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. It was good! The service was nice and friendly. Support your local business!

    Yellow and red curry
    Lor Y.

    Thong's was our go to for Thai food but unfortunately today's experience will not have us going back. We ordered yellow and red curry and had asked for one of them with tofu. Got both with chicken. Both of them had a pool of oil that we needed to skim off. One nice surprise was the red curry had more veggies and bamboo shoots. The pad thai was okay. The most disappointing thing was the chicken wings. Smaller wings and no more lettuce or cucumbers. I called to ask about it and they said they discontinued the veggies as the rise of cost of supplies. Unfortunately, will not be going back.

    food truck located next to petco in waikele, was craving thai food and got a chicken pad si ew (sp?) made fresh to order with generous portions ! very delicious

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Parking: 5/5 Family friendly: 4/5 Stroller friendly: 5/5 ADA accessible: 5/5 I would say this is a top 5 Thai food spot for me. Right flavors, right portions, right price! You wouldn't believe this would be coming out of a food truck in the parking lot of an outlet mall, but BELIEVE IT! Pad se ew with chicken, Basil eggplant with chicken, chicken pang curry ($15 each). Top notch, and comes out super hot! Only downside, if you're planning on staying to eat, it'll be on the back of the truck bed, or waiting benches. Come check this place out when you in the area!

    Pad Thai
    Sandy N.

    I ordered Pad Thai with chicken on Nov 30. I only can find 1 piece of chicken and 3 tiny pieces of chicken in my Pad Thai. I tried to move noodle to other bowl but can't find any more chicken. Oh my god.... I will not buy here again.

    Went this past Tuesday morning after giving blood at the Blood Bank's BloodMobile located next to the food trucks here at the lower Waikele Shopping Center. Friend and I decided to eat at Thong's Thai Lunch Wagon. He has eaten here a few times but this was my first time even though I have been eyeing it since 2019. We were there just before 11:30am and it did not look busy as there was no lines except for what seemed to be a few phone order pick-ups. I put in our order with the woman with the #12/Pad Thai (I asked for Thai Hot) and #13/Basil Chicken for my friend who wanted the spice level medium. Both were priced (like pretty much a lot of other dishes) at $12.99. We stood around for about 12-15 minutes and then our plates were ready. My friend paid with a card but she said it couldn't go through. She asked for another card so he gave her another card... did not go through... I said, "here try mine" (I could not believe my friend would ever be low on funds).. Within moments, she too said my card couldn't go through... Kind of 'you know how embarrassing this is' with some people behind us in line hearing that? Oh, but then she said to herself and loud enough for only us to hear... oh, must be our wi-fi not working. Whoa ! Bingo !! She asked if we had cash, which we so happened to have on us... Sad when wi-fi goes down, as the business cannot accept card purchases and the customer will feel anger no doubt ! No apologies to us to say "oh, it was a problem on our end". Friend dropped me off at home and he went to his home. I didn't immediately eat my Pad Thai but he texted me to ask if my dish was spicy or not? He was upset as it was too spicy for he and his wife to eat. I, on the other hand having just tasted it told him ... it's NOT spicy... it's not Thai Hot as I wanted ! So they put the WRONG spice level on our plates (should have been the opposite). But my Pad Thai (I chose to have it with chicken - could also order it with tofu, or with shrimp or fish for an additional $2) was more than sufficient and tasty (with just a slight hint of fish sauce-- wish there were a little more fish sauce added). I would get the Pad Thai again, but make sure the person taking your order LISTENS and not get plate lunches confused as to the spice levels. I rate Thong's Thai a 3.5 star experience that day, but rounded up, it gets the 4 stars.

    Always a good choice when in the area! Food always comes out hot and they're fairly quick

    Red chicken curry with jasmine rice. Mmmmm!!
    Jenn L.

    In my opinion, this is the BEST Thai food!! I ordered the chicken pad Thai noodles, red chicken curry and it comes with jasmine rice and I also tried the spring rolls. The food was very tasty. The portions were perfect. I will be a returning customer for a long time. YUMMY!!

    Yellow Curry with Shrimp
    Reef A.

    Got the Red Curry this time. Has eggplant and other vegetables. Choose chicken but they had shrimp, tofu and fish options. Comes with Jasmine rice. Very mild spiciness. Lots of flavor! I forgot to take a picture before eating a third of it. Red Curry highly recommended. Service can be slow when they are busy. Watch out for cars driving by- stay off roadway and stay behind barrier fence. I'll definitely be back!

Passed by this place several times, always rolling down my window to smell the smokey goodness. Finally decided to give their huli huli chicken a try and we did not regret it. The chicken was so delicious. Seasoned and smoked to perfection. It was so tender and juicy. Opted to go for a chicken plate which came with half a chicken, 2 scoops rice, corn and a side of their sauce. It was $18 which I gladly paid for because of how delicious it was and how big the portion was. It was good enough for 2-3 people. The staff was really nice. Shoutout to the braddahs working the smoker. Showed so much aloha with their smile and throwing shakas all around. Mahalo to the Braddah who without hesitation lent us his fan when he saw my daughters. In his words, "it's hot, keep the kids nice and cool". So good. I'll have to come back and their other food!

We happen to stop at Elena's to grab take out and I remember Diamond's Kitchen food truck is right in the same area out in the parking lot. I see the chicken cooking, smelled so good, hot and fresh so happy this is my chance to try. I went with the 2 item plate, ($24.) fried pork and chicken, which comes with rice, corn and sauce. I didn't get the side of potato salad but wanted to try the pickled ung choy $10. for container. I loved how the chicken is cooked, fire roasted huli chicken. My opinion, Wow- so Ono! I loved the fried pork, super tasty, I loved the dipping the pork with vinegar sauce and the chicken, so tender, juicy and loved it. I love the flavor in every bite eating fried pork, chicken, rice and ate it with the ung choy instead of corn. The best huli chicken here at Waipahu side. I am so glad I saw the reel, would have not known about this Gem! Supporting local and will be back here for sure now that I tasted this goodness!

We stopped by right at closing tonight, and the friendly staff were kind enough to let us place one last order. My son was craving sisig, and honestly, only Sw8's would do.

The food is just as delicious as ever - crispy, flavorful, and now they offer it topped with a fried egg and chili oil on the side... he was in heaven! We also spotted fresh lumpia in the warmer last time, so we'll definitely be back to try that next. If you're a sisig fan (or looking to become one), I highly recommend Sw8 Dada's Sisig!

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.

We were spoiled to the max! The owners and their family run the place and in true Filipino hospitality, they served us buffet/family style and entertained us with their stories from their humble beginnings to what they are today. The food was the best I've had in the Island. Hands down. Everything tasted nostalgic because the technique used in cooking each dish tasted like a handed down recipe from a grandma's kitchen from back home in the motherland. If you're ever in the island of Oahu please make your way to Waipahu and sample as much of their offerings as you can and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommended coming from a humble cook who rarely raves about Filipino food because I myself learned from my paternal grandmother.

They're located on the corner and once you see a tent & smell bbq, you're at the right spot. This restaurant gave karinderia vibe to it! Karinderia is basically like those food stalls they have in the Philippines, where they have a bunch of dishes and you sit out to enjoy the food. Home cooked & affordable eats. They have everything from bbq sticks, adobo, lechon, kilawan, lumpia and more. I got the bbq stick & chicken inasal plate. The bbq stick was packed with so much flavor! The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE. If you want to experience a true Filipino experience with great food, this place is for you.
