Hubby& I tried 2 locations in Waipahu: 1. Pupuole 2. Waipahu District Park Honestly, the Garlic chicken is hands down so damn good! I ate there twice this week Their version of pancit is not our cup of tea. We have different noodle preferences. But over all, it was ok Lechon Kawali was okay this day, to us it was kind of bland. But still ate it, with a little more vinegar read more

Find them in a yellow food truck parked outside of Waipahu district park. Simple menu. Generous portions. Kind tata manning the entire operation! We were given the options of rice, pancit, fried chicken and garlic chicken. Went with pancit, and 1/2 fried 1/2 garlic chicken. Pancit was a mix of canton and bihon noodles. Tasty! If I had to choose a chicken, I'd go garlic chicken but an extra side of garlic sauce. Plate was $10 even. Cash only. Will be back again! read more

Awesome portion for an order of just chicken. read more

Well, it's been a little over two months since I was last here in early July. so I decided to eat here again as it is close by to where I live. It's a Wed (9/22) morning just a few minutes after 11am and I see he has no customers at the moment. He likes to park his lunchwagon street side just after the entry into the Waipahu District Park parking lot. I walk up to the lunchwagon and see no one near the order/receive window so I walk a little to my right to see if he is sitting in the front passenger seat awaiting customer --- and yes, he's there reading the newspaper. As walk back to the order window, the first thing out of my mouth was to say I "wanted half pork guisantes and ..." when he stopped me and said he only had fried chicken, pinakbet, noodles and rice... Took me just a moment to comprehend because 'that's all he had for entrees' ? The past few times I knew he only had three entres (as he liked to say he serves what his customers like): fried chicken, fried chicken with garlic sauce on the side, and pork guisantes. So I said, ahh.. ok, i want half fried chicken, half pinakbet with half pancit and half (white) rice for the starch. Anyone familiar with pinakbet, the main vegetables in the dish are normally eggplant and bitter melon slices (sometimes they had chicharron, or sometimes they had small bits of roast pork (Chinese style). While he was assembling the plate, I was telling myself how much I would have to remove bittermelon (goya) pieces from that dish as I don't like the strong bitter taste. Gee, I guess I came at the right time, as now a line of customers began to form right behind me... he wasn't his talkative self, but still nice (maybe he had a cold or something and didn't walk to speak much.. dunno, didn't sound like he had a cold though...). As he had a hard time closing the lid before putting it into the plastic bag, i wondered why he was rushing. I gave him my $10 and there was no exchange of words by him or me (hmm ... unusual). As I walk away from the truck to my car, I was trying to secure the lid on the styrofoam container and now found out why he couldn't close it well, it was just too much food inside that the lid couldn't close properly ! As I got home and opened the container, I saw the unusually reddish pinkabet portion of the meal ... hmm, never saw reddish 'sauce' before any anyone's cooking ... maybe he was trying to 'localize' its taste? Ok, so I start looking for the hated bittermelon pieces with my fork, but couldn't find ANY ! Now it's a 'what?' Unusual ! there were eggplant, long beans, wing beans, and okra with some onions in a tomato based sauce ... Let me taste ... ummm, tasted good, and tasted like there was the hint of bittermelon in the dish (wonder if had placed them perhaps in a straining/cheesecloth or packet so he can allow the flavor of the bittermelon to blend in, without having the bittermelon pieces actually be in the dish for consumption? Whatever ... I was liking his rich flavored pinakbet .. too bad there wasn't any roast pork, or at least the crispy skin of the roast pork in that dish. Fried chicken (his version is all right for my tastes ... though I have seen reviews that say his version is bomb ! Not to me though ... Like I mentioned before, these (very small) chicken thighs look exactly like what are sold at the supermarkets in the 5 lb boxes by various chicken companies.. He was generous with the pancit canton and you can buy his pancit on the side like I did the last time. This meal with the two entrees just complimented each other with flavors galore, and I wouldn't mind eating this combo again....maybe he should just add this to his other three entrees (fried chicken, garlic chicken, pork guisantes) permanently. The last time I was here in early July, I ordered the fried chicken and garlic chicken combination, and only gave it three stars.., but this one works better! Most likely you will love this mixed combination @ $10 exactly for this meal. Cash only (like so many other lunchwagons operate) ! read more

I ate here last week about 2:30 pm after school was out because I've seen lots of kids hanging out at the Rec center. I bought the fried chicken plate and was thinking that the color was a little peculiar looking. Not the golden fries look on fresh chicken. It was dull brownish colored. I ate it. All 6 or so pieces with the rice. No weird smell or taste. About 2-3 hours later it hit like a max truck. Vomit and upset stomach! I didn't eat anything else during this time, so it was definitely the chicken. I have to guess that they re-fry the chicken through the day and/ or use chicken that is not good to use. Spoiled. It was dry and like I said, not golden crisp color and texture. Definitely was crunchy and dry. I ate here in the past, early morning before 11 and the chicken was just cooked and had the golden fried color and it was good. I suppose I should buy when they first open if I want the freshly cooked batch? read more

Finally made to this Food Truck in Waipahu called Triple RT's located at the Waipahu Regional Park from Monday thru Friday as I wa so excited because I really love my Fried Chicken and after seeing all these glowing reviews I definitely had to come here and see what the hype was all about. I had originally ordered the Fried Chicken and Pinakbet Mixed Plate but Uncle gave me the Pancit instead of the Pinakbet and I was kind of bummed because I love my Pinakbet especially with Fried Chicken. Anyway after getting my plate and opening up my plate, things looked very promising until further inspection looking at the Fried Chicken, they all looked like they were Refried and overcooked. And after taking one bite of my First Piece of Fried Chicken, my thoughts and initial senses came to fruition as the Fried Chicken was no where near moist nor juicy. It also lacked any type of flavor as well. Not even a faint taste of salt or pepper at all. It was bland, very bland and when the Chicken was overcooked like these pieces that I got, I had a real hard time swallowing it. Out of the 5 or 6 pieces of Fried Chicken I got, just one of the pieces of Fried Chicken was even formidable to even swallow. Also the pieces were in all different sizes. They weren't all the same size as some were really small in size. As for the Pancit that also was disappointing as it lacked any type of flavor and all and once again very bland. Luckily I found some Soy Sauce Packets in my Glove Compartment to give my Pancit some flavor that it sorely needed. Despite this very disappointing meal, the Uncle working at the Food Truck was really nice and genuine and I really want to try this place once again but I'm so gun shy because once I get disappointed about a certain place I don't want to experience what I went through the first time. Perhaps it was just a stroke of Bad Luck that I was dealt a really bad batch of Fried Chicken and I think I knew I was in trouble when the Plate that I ordered wasn't exactly what I initially asked for. I really wanted to like this place but I think it may be awhile before I make my trip back to Waipahu to satisfy my Fried Chicken Cravings. Especially here at Triple RT's read more

The chicken is super dry and no flavor whatsoever. The old man is smoking a cigarette in the food truck. So unsanitary. Bad service. Don't waste your money buying your food at this food truck. read more

Me and my wife go here every time we get chicken cravings! Uncles Chicken is the BOMB! If it's your first time, try the Garlic Chicken! Crispy, flavorful, and juicy chicken. The price is fair and is much cheaper than your fast food chicken chain restaurants. As for the service, Uncle is always kind, when we sees both me and my wife, he always adds a little extra to our plate, which is awesome. Triple RTs Lunch wagon is sometimes parked by the Waipahu District Park @ Paiwa St, south of Jimmys. read more

We've been to parties catered by them and loved their food. Decided to have them for my son's birthday party and every dish was just amazing. Lots of compliments from our guests about the food and asking who catered. The Lechon kawali was super amazing as well as the salmon, cooked to perfection. They also have an attendant who manages the food and was very friendly and helpful for us throughout the party. Also very reasonable prices. Recommend for your next party! read more

Been a while since I had triple rts but every time I've went , food is soooo good and affordable . Uncle is friendly to everyone! One day I will for sure ask them for catering!! read more

Friendly staff and the food is sooo good! Will purchase food from them again! The food truck across the Waipahu Gym is usually there in the weekdays. read more

Good fried chicken Wanted to try more Filipino dishes but overall crispy chicken and generous portion for price

Catered from RRRT's twice for funerals in 2021 (300+ bentos) and 2022 (200) bentos. 1. You will never find another Filipino food bento style. 2. Food is fulfilling and delicious 3. Presentation was exceptional, This May Also depend on what you order. Latest bento choosing was pork guisantes, shrimp tempura and fried chicken; great combination for lunch. 4. 95% of communication with Russell was via text and 5% talking upon delivery of food---proved efficiency! 5. Requested delivery and bento arrived as planned in time for lunch--proved dependable. Thank you RRRT's for being my families #1 choice for bentos. read more

Although I did not work directly with staff at RT's, I would like to mention how amazing they were with accomodating the many changes we had throughout the ordering process. Due to Covid, we were required by the facility we were using to pass out bento's/plate lunches (rather than providing the traditional buffet/pan station) after our event. I called and requested recommendations from various people and among the many recommendations and searches, RT's had the most reasonably priced options. As for the food, it was delicious. The amount you get on each plate was more than enough. Because our event was a two day event, we ordered two different lunch plates. The first day included terri beef, pancit, and rice. The second day consisted of fried chicken, rice, and kalua pork and cabbage. All options were delicious although the fried chicken took top spot for me. Distribution of the food was simple. They packaged the plates for our guests, 2-3 plates per bag. Fork and napkins were included with each bag. You could probably let staff know how many plates you'd like in each bag. I would definitely recommend this company to family and friends as they have amazing customer service. Food was also great. read more

My all time favorite food spots in Waipahu, good food and good people! The Tupinio's always serve the best in Filipino Family style cuisine!

I always enjoy ordering plate lunches to feed my team or to enjoy with family. One thing that never disappoints is the fried chicken. Where can you find a better deal elsewhere? Especially for fried chicken thighs that are crunchy, perfectly salted and not oily! Often having so much oil in fried chicken can ruin the flavor. Thanks Triple RTs! read more

Triple RTs Catering & Lunchwagon - Weekly special: fried chicken and gravy plate $6 - Food Trucks Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

This food is a joke. Everything was all lukewarm and tasted bland, and a bunch of us got sick after eating there. The owner is super rude and confrontational when we tried to ask about the food not being hot and made racist comments. I hope the health department comes and inspects them soon read more

After a failed attempt searching for a manapua truck to satisfy our craving we decided to head home and give up but decided to take the turn by Waipahu gym and there we saw that bright yellow truck! We ordered a garlic chicken & pancit plate & ate in the car. From the first look on my husbands face when he bit into the chicken I knew it was good the skin was so crunchy, meat cooked all the way through but still juicy & perfectly seasoned . The pancit was amazing as well, lots of meat and veggies which I love . Not to mention the older man that helped us loaded the plate up with 6 pieces of chicken we couldn't even close the lid! Awesome food , awesome service & unbeatable price ! read more

Food is great as always!! use them 3 times to cater our parties and will do again on our next party. Keep it up!!

Accommodating, professional, punctual, beautiful, convenient, tasty, reasonably priced-- that sums up my experience with Triple RTs. I had an event up at Sunset Ranch this month, and I couldn't have asked for a better caterer. They delivered, set up beautifully, and provided everything we needed for food service. They are a complete package, and the price is so good! I asked the food to be ready to serve at 1pm. They came early to set up (which I really appreciated, since there's a lot of traffic going into the North Shore on the weekend). Our program moved up, and we asked them if they could serve at 12:30pm instead-- I was so grateful they accommodated our request. I ordered rice, noodles, fried chicken, kalua pig & cabbage, sweet sour spare ribs, and fish tempura. Everything was good, but everyone's favorites were the chicken, spare ribs and fish tempura Definitely recommend! read more

My friend told me about this place and decided to go. Hooooo the fried chicken was killah's! The truck didn't have a menu, cause they only had Fried Chicken and Garlic Chicken. When I ordered my Fried Chicken plate, there was so many pieces that the plate lid could not close. I had to eat some pieces so I could close the lid. If you love Fried Chicken, head to Triple RT's next to the Waipahu Gym! #killahgrindz read more

I used Triple RTs for two separate events-a conference and a memorial service. Both times they did an outstanding job. Excellent food, on time, and super service. I had many compliments and so many people asked me where I ordered the bentos from. You also can't beat their prices. I give them my highest recommendation! read more

Just came from the Hoopili event where they gave $3 plates for first 33 customers and we were one of the lucky ones. Got 2 Lechon Kewali and 1 Garlic chicken. 3 stars for taste and extra star for the discount. Garlic chicken was good, can taste the garlic. The lechon tasted a lil old but the tomato/onion mix was fresh, crunchy & perfectly seasoned. Made up for the tough pork skins lol. read more

This is a late review but for graduation day, my daughter decided to have a drive by for family and friends that could not make it to the ceremony. So we decided on passing out bentos. Russell was awesome! He was able to acommodate my order in a short amount of notice. The food was delicious as well. Thank you! I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Triple RTs catered a family event for us recently. The service was great and the food is always yummy. I contacted Russell via email and he followed up with me via text to schedule a phone call. He made some suggestions to the menu I originally asked for and it was a good thing I did. Afterwards, he would check in with me via text and was great confirming things before the event. The day-of service was also really good. They set up the food and had some floral arrangements on the table. The staff person was polite and very helpful. She even helped pack up the food at the end. I would definitely recommend them! The fried chicken is good, especially the bits of chicken skin. The pork gisantes is also a good choice. read more

Saw the RT Lunch wagon truck parked by Goodwill in Kapolei. Lunchtime and I'm hungry. Never seen nor heard anything about it before. So what do I always do in such a case? I pull up my YElp! and search, of course ! Lol!! Ummm..all good reviews. Fried chicken was mentioned several times. So like the foodie that I am that loves to try new food service, I order the aforementioned famous chicken and Oh my goodness!! I love fried Chicken anyways so I know good fried chicken and they had one of the best fried chicken I've ever had!! Nice perfectly salted, crispy skin but juicy tender meat inside. Sometimes, I almost always expect fried chicken to be a little dry or pink with some blood because not too many know how to cook it through without losing the moisture. Anyways, next thing I do of course is try to find out where this lunch wagon stays most of the time. Heard it's usually in Waipahu so imma be on the lookout!! read more

Their garlic fried chicken is awesome. Also when placing catering order they are quick to respond and usually are able to accommodate even when they are really busy. read more

Omg. Their fried chicken and garlic fried chicken is the best. It's a food truck located at Waipahu District Park. Your order is made fresh and you can smell the delicious aroma when you drive up. Call ahead if you have a large order to give them time to cook it up. Be sure to ask for their spiced vinegar. Squeeze some calamari over the chicken and you will become a fan. No Calamasi? Lemon is good too! read more

At this point I just kept driving and I took the Waipahu cut off thinking I'll just stop by Waipahu gym and see if Tripple RTs truck was there.
