    Papaya salad
    Jacob M.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken pad se ew
    Donna A.

    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: 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.

    Tricia M.

    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!!

    Pretty good Thai food truck in Mililani. Swung by on a weeknight for dinner, was craving Thai. Wait was about 10 mins, I was the only one. There is a bell to ring when you are ready for service. Everything was made to order, it was PIPING hot. I definitely burned the roof of my mouth trying to eat this. But it was so good. My only complaint was the amount of oil that was left in the dish. It was overwhelming. Flavor and portions were worth the price though.

    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.

    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!

I got the three mix plate with Firecracker Chicken, 94 Sauce Pork Chops and Cream Meatballs. I also got the 74 South Moko. Everything was delicious. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the pork was tender. The meatballs were a little salty with the sauce, but just eat a lot of rice! The moko isn't a patty, it's just their meatballs. The eggs were perfectly runny and a very savory.

The Mum Mum Noodles Deluxe was topped with easy over eggs, French Fries, and a sweet mayo (?) sauce. I liked the chewy Noodles, but I prefer a more savory sauce - I'm sure I could have asked to change sauce if I knew. Note: Ketchup at home helped a lot! The pork Chops were delicious and tender! Corn was a nice side, along with two scoops of rice. Service was okay. I asked what "Mops" stood for - it's slang for "eating". The cashier made an eating motion... LOL!

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!

It was almost 11am and it looked like all the trucks were closed, but fortunately, Dick's was open. It looked like they were only one of two or three that were. I decided on the lechon with pancit plate this time, since the Fried rice I got the last time was fairly bland. It was a good choice, as the noodles were flavorful, with lots of veggies. Unfortunately, the lechon was super salty this time. It was moist and the skin was veto crispy, but I could only eat a little at a time, due to the saltiness. I'm hoping this was a "one off", and they didn't change their preparation or recipe. I'll have to make sure by stopping by again to grab another order soon.

I ended up eating it with vinegar to jazz it up. Bbq pork stick was really good on its own. The vinegar that was provided added even more flavor. It was actually my favorite out of everything; had a good char. Pork lumpia was two long pieces that was equivalent to like 6 regular size pieces. My kids enjoyed it. The turon had a good crunchy exterior, the banana seemed a bit on the dry side. Glad to see many people trying Dick's Lechon n' supporting local!

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.
