    Kalua pig cabbage w/ tossed salad

    pretty standard home-cooked style plate lunch. while they dont have any social media or online presence (that i can tell) to find their menu/specials for the day, they can text you the menu in the morning. that way you can order in advance and pick it up when you're ready for lunch, and not have to wait. so super convenient! food is pretty tasty and they give quite a bit. much better pricing than zippys. def on the cheaper side as far as plate lunches go! when we're working at the airport we always go there for lunch. only place we eat now!

    Monday thru Friday from 1000 - 1100 AM, the big green Why'z truck is parked at the airport car rental area across the street from the overseas baggage claim. We know that good food takes time and we know how much people LOVE the ono grindz here and the reasonable prices so we call in our orders to help the brudduhs out who strive to please their crowd! Sure the wait can be bothersome for those who are impatient, but if you can make it work around your schedule and afford the guys enough time to perfect your dish, they will not disappoint!! **I've read some of the few star ratings and most was complaining about the wait yet still enjoyed some of the portions, had they not felt rushed I'm sure every portion would've been awesome.** I work at the airport and frequent the truck on weekdays. The guys send us a menu for the day and we submit a group order ahead of time so that when we break for lunch, our order is hot and ready! At times when it gets really busy, we wait a bit more but totally understandable. It's typically just the 2 brudduhs working the truck and they work hard to bring their best. Every different entree I have tried was delicious, their sandwiches are big and tasty, the guys are friendly and since the government shutdown they offer the federal workers credit. Our CBP, TSA, and USDA families at the airport impacted by the shutdown can still enjoy a good meal until the White House pays back what is owed. Big hearts these guys! Mahalo plenty for the hospitality and kanak attacks Why'z!!! We all appreciate you!

    I found this truck last night at Kapolei's Eat The Street. Since they had a line and ton of people surrounding the truck, I thought how bad can this be? Trucks with the biggest crowds tend to have the best food. I ordered the sampler, which consisted of half a lobster stuff crab, a dinosaur bone (large pork bone), two pieces of garlic butter shrimp, and 4-5 small pieces of steak...all for the bargain price of 20$ (that's sarcasm btw). The stuffed lobster was actually quite tasty and moist...priced at 16$ (price without all the other stuff)..is not worth it. The shrimp was ok as was the steak. However the dinosaur bone had flavors that were just way too strong. It was a bit dry. I took exactly two bites and had to dump the rest. Their biggest fault? Nope..not the dinosaur bone. It's the wait. I timed them..and it took exactly 15 minutes from the time that I paid to the moment they called my name and gave me my order. I wasn't the only impatient one. Everyone stood with arms crossed and saying "this is ridiculous" while staring at the folks in the truck. Normally 15 minutes isn't a long wait at a restaurant, but at a food truck festival, it's really too long. Folks like to buy a bite, eat and move on to the next truck. Since my family was hungry, they went on to see what else was available. By the time they had come back, they ate and were full. So much for eating together as a family... I'd be a bit more forgiving if they had told me it was going to take 15 minutes. Just sayin...

    Their hamburger steak is onolicious!

    Great local food at a very decent price. The food truck is in the airport area next to the car rentals, from 10 to 11am. Aurite!

    Takeout dinner from Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Heaven's Soul Food Cuisine (food truck) was two trucks away from Chicano's taco truck, across from the Convention Center. We were right there, so I ordered a Smoked BBQ Rib plate. It came with 2 sides. We chose Baked beans and Green beans with smoked turkey. Service was very friendly and efficient! I believe that they worker said, "I appreciate you!" Wow! That's very nice of him! We took the plate home (it was too windy to sit alongside the busy sidewalk) and discussed the tasty ribs, sweet (molasses?) Baked beans and yummy green beans with smoked turkey. Mmm! I would return and get the catfish plate, Po Boy sandwich, and walking tacos!

Unfortunately, they were out of collard greens, so ended up ordering a fried catfish plate with Mac & cheese and green beans. Man, I don't know if it was because I was hungry, but this was one of the best classic Mac and cheeses I had in a long time, and by far the best green beans I had. The catfish was freshly fried after ordering and was perfectly cooked and seasoned. At $26 per plate it is a little pricey, but it was about a meal and a half and the taste was excellent. I would suggest calling ahead to see what they're out of and to ensure you don't have to wait.

I understand the restaurant can't control that.

Hmmm ok ... people were literally sitting on warped chairs... Now the food... my husband and I ordered a ceviche, two tacos and salsa. Salsa was fine, there was honestly nothing extraordinary about it. The tortilla chips were good. The ceviche when given was like warm.... The shrimp was still grey... I understand how ceviche is made but the shrimp was still so raw and GREY... the fish tacos were solid tho but I wouldn't eat here again... the place is kind of dirty

We ordered the avocado pasta with Florentine and short rib, and it was heavenly. Easily one of the best flavor combinations I've had in a long time. Honestly, 6 out of 5. The portions are massive too, one plate can comfortably feed two people. We also tried the shrimp and the brisket. Both were very good, but the short rib dish completely stole the show. Everything was packed well and ready to go. My only suggestion would be to include more napkins and upgrade the utensils a bit to better match the quality of the food. The cheesecake, unfortunately, left a lot to be desired. Given how incredible the mains were, I had high expectations, but it didn't deliver. 2 out of 5. I'd skip dessert next time. Millie at the front was incredibly courteous and handled the constant stream of incoming orders calmly and professionally. There's no seating area, so plan for takeout and enjoy it somewhere calm by the beach for the best experience. Also, definitely order ahead by phone if you can. Wait times can easily reach 30-40 minutes depending on the time of day. Definitely a hidden gem, and I would absolutely come back again for the short ribs.

It was a…read morelittle overwhelming because they had so many options to choose from but they do have suggested popular specials or just a make your own plate. Decided to try their moringa pasta with the lemon cream sauce and added some chicken for protein. I thought it was a bit much for $30 but given the hefty plate, this was easily 3 meals for me--well worth it in my opinion. The pasta was a bit over cooked but I really enjoyed the lemon cream sauce. A generous amount of chicken as well. Couldn't leave without getting some dessert, so got a calamansi lime cheesecake and the lychee cheesecake. I wish there was a stronger calamansi flavor to the cheesecake but the lychee one was delicious! Service was quick, you order what you want and they call you when your order is ready, if you want to explore around the area/wait in your car. I waited no more than 10-15 mins. There's no seating inside, so this is a grab and go type of place. Next time, I'll be sure to just call in the order and maybe request for the sauce on the side so my noodles aren't mushy.

That's what I do love about this discovery at Makana Mkt at Ka Makana Ali'i where they have it twice a week and this Sunday from 11a-3p I found this cute little card and it was Aloha Poke Bar which is obvious is a mobile cart which is absolutely cute and does exactly that where the menu describes the offerings for the day which was Classic, Tornado and what I got is Volcano their version of the spicy ahi. Bowls come in two sizes and though my thoughts was large though I got the small which is just $13 and all bowls comes with white rice topped with the poke of your choice and it doesn't end there you get unlimited toppings and I believe there was six types to which I got the pickled red onions and crispy onions (I later realized they were both onions lol!) there was also ocean salad, pickled cucumbers, furikake. The gentleman asked if I wanted inamona and spicy sauce...uuuhh yes! Poke is obviously premade and the list of the ingredients are all in as well as my Volcano which I though for me personally wasn't spicy enough was made with mayo, sriracha chili sauce, sesame oil, and green onions and thankfully it didn't have much green onions which I don't like but hey it adds the flavor. Rice cooked just right and the toppings complimented it all to my happy belly and was a pleasant find on this gloomy rainy day as the service was nice and friendly which brought the vibe to another level at this cute little cart.
