    The receipt!
    Hyn G.

    These 2 ladies are cute ! But they don't understand and speak English well! Call them and order? Good Luck! They do know the words Kalbi ,Meat Jun, and combo. I asked them for a receipt and the couldn't provide me one. Than they overcharged me!! But refunded me back in cash. I ordered 2 Combo plate (chicken/kalbi) $23.95 2 Meat Jun $18 5 bottle water $2 Total $91.62 The meat Jun was tough! The chicken was dry! The rice was hard and dry! The kalbi was good! This is the 2 star rating! I don't mind paying the high price! But they could at least provide good quality food. Hope those food inspectors go out and check those food trucks out there!

    Salty meat  jeon, salty kalbi and salty garlic shrimp.

    No! No! No! Please do not go to this place. Food is horribly salty, like... hello! Do you want to kill me with sodium overdose? There's two ladies working and the younger one needs to change her attitude. Another thing, please do not use the bathroom in this place, you will regret it and come out with no desire to eat anymore.

    #7!!!

    So glad I got my kabli fix! If you are craving for some bomb korean bbq ribs this is your go to!! Order the #7 and thank me later!!! Love to support a small business. The owner was sweet and really knew how to get down in the kitchen! Must try!!! Dont be fooled by the least reviews, we were skeptical but so glad we tried.

    Kalbi

    We were craving kalbi & so glad we stumbled on this place ! We ordered a plate of the kalbi which came with rice & a cabbage slaw. You could tell the meat came hot off the grill. The meat was tender and had good flavor. The Korean mom serving us was friendly & theres lots of outdoor seating. A solid place if you're in the mood for Korean !

    This is sooo good.

    This place is so good. The Ajumma was so nice. Her truck is the last one on the back. The kalbi plate might looks pricey but for that much of meat. It is so worth it. She marinated it perfectly and the thickness was great. So you have soft meat and tasty fat on the edges. This place is a gem . I wish people would know that their Kalbi is amazing!!

    Shady, clean seating!

    So good!!! Authentic Korean food on the NS! Two Korean ladies servin up yummy, home cooked meals. I ordered the spicy pork bugogi and it's a huge portion, enough for 2 comfortable meals. The side of kimchee was made by one of the ladies and it's fresh and good, not the super fermented kind. Shady picnic bench seating next to the truck. Definitely check them out if you're wanting some ono Korean cooking!

    Scallion pancake served up super hot and delicious
    Amy G.

    To be honest, we ate here because all of the other places were swarming with people and this place was empty. We also had some hungry and cranky kids that needed to be fed! We ordered bulgogi, spicy pork, and the scallion pancake plates. The ladies that cook the food are Korean. The food was all really good and definitely hit the spot. My three year old couldn't stop talking about how yummy it was on the way back. There are plenty of tables in front of the truck and in the back. The tables in the back have plenty of shade and it's much cooler back there. Everything is clean, too. I'd definitely go back.

    Super nice ladies serving super good Korean food. For some reason every time I'm up on the North Shore I always end up a Korean food truck. People are sleeping on the Korean food up in North Shore lol. I ordered kalbi like I normally do and it was really good. Plenty of flavor and grilled well. I wish they would do local style mac salad instead of cabbage but it's fine. This place wasn't busy because all the haole tourists were getting burgers and tacos from the other food trucks. If you're visiting, get outside your comfort zone and try some Korean food from here, it's really good!

    Ribs
    Katy K.

    My husband and I split the #7 ribs. The spice and flavor of the ribs was incredible. It was so full of flavor. But the meat was pretty fatty. The rice and slaw were excellent sides. This place wasn't as busy some of the other trucks, but the service and food was great.

    the best short ribs i've ever had a 10/10 recommend. so flavorful and delicious, the yummiest korean bbq i've ever had

    Best short ribs on the North Shore and always have to get a lemonade with it! Plenty of parking and nice shaded area to eat.

    Sometimes the underdog wins big! Hono's turned out to be the champ. We had both Hono's and…read moreGiovanni's. The pro tip is to get the extra shrimp and skip Giovanni's. I also have a positive review of them so I'm not bias. This is just better imho. I'm a week late on the review, but better late than never. Food (5 stars) + Extra shrimp upgrade for a few bucks? Huge portion, bigger shrimp, perfectly balanced flavors--not drowned in butter. Great presentation too! + Hot sauce with a sweet kick--absolutely complementary. + Kalbi plate was tender and delicious--sweet, savory, and bone-in goodness. Service/Ambiance (5 stars) + Quick service, easy seating right in front of their truck, no confusion. + Personal touch with celebrity signatures on the truck--BTS included! (Not that I know much about them, but pretty cool) ~ Parking here is $2 and $5 in another lot about a block away. We paid the $5 to support the local community. This is the one I'll rave about! When I'm back, Hono's is my first stop. And yes, check out that BTS autograph!

    Another shrimp truck in the middle of the food trucks within the same plaza as Giovanni's. We…read morewanted to see what all the hype was about at Giovanni's and compare it with Hono's, and trust me when I say Hono's wins by far. This Korean-inspired truck has more to offer than its competitors, not only because the menu is bigger, but also because there is zero wait and the shrimp is just as good. The service was relatively quick, and the woman working the truck was very nice. We ordered the galbi shrimp plate, and the galbi was pretty spot on. It wasn't as tender as we would've liked, but the flavor was definitely there. The shrimp was on the spicier side, but again, the flavor really came through. It is a bit of a nuisance to have to peel your own shrimp, but they were soft enough that you could still eat them pretty easily if you didn't feel like it. Seating is also nice since Hono's has its own area away from Giovanni's.

    Cute country feel eatery in waialua…read more Since it's semi outdoors it can get humid and prone to flies. I ordered the coconut shrimp and the locomoco. The coconut shrimp was pretty good. Size was decent and the portion was adequate. 6 pieces of golden flaky shrimp. I loved the coconut shreds on the rice. I wasn't a huge fan of Mac salad and the lettuce on the bottom but I understand why the plating was how it was so it's not a negative thing. The locomoco was dry and overcooked. I wasn't satisfied with this one and it unfortunately did affect my ratings. The party smelt amazing but as I bit into it, it was extremely crunching and a little bland in flavor. I think the gravy was great and wish I had more of the gravy to help the patty. The food came out fairly quickly and the staff was kind in bringing out the food. I'm glad I got to try this place out since I've past it several times and always seem too early or too late to try.

    This was one of my favorite spots in Oahu!…read more I loved how many authentic local dishes they offered including lū'au, kalua pork, and lomi lomi salmon. All of the food was sooooo delicious--my favorite was the lū'au which was made with octopus! It all tasted very fresh and much better than the stuff I found in Waikiki. For the big platter pictured in my photo, it was approximately $25. Not the cheapest lunch but definitely worth it! They offered seating both indoors and outdoors. My only wish was that they would have had fans outside or something, to disperse the flies more easily--those were quite pesky. Great spot if you're up in North Shore and/or getting some rock climbing or hiking in out near Mokuleia!

    I've been a fan of their chicken smoked in the barrel with that wood fire flavor for some time now…read more I come all the way from the Windward side for this. Ordered online and order was ready fast within 10min or less. This go around chicken didn't seem the same. Flavor was lacking like needed more salt/seasoning. Also notice a lot of red inside near the bone. Meat had a lot of red like chicken was a bit under in the med well range. I ate most of it but not around the bone area as it tasted bloody. Pulled pork was part of the combo I chose. Pork didn't have much flavor or salt as well. Bbq sauce on the counter was about empty but managed to get some in the container cup which made it better. I ate at the back tables and seen the cook remove cooked chickens. Didn't notice temp probes or anything to check internal temps of meat. I'll be taking a break for a bit maybe staffing issues or what not but will try again in the future.

    Tried the pizza next door and I ordered the combination plate which had a little bit of everything…read morekind of like a sampler plate. I believe it's what it's called. Great flavor will definitely be visiting them again. The service was friendly and the nice guy behind the register recommended certain things on the menu when I had asked questions. We sat outside, which is really fun for the kiddos! Next time I would love to try their coleslaw as well as they're loaded fries.
