About Pupukea Grill

Pupukea Grill is a popular food truck on the north shore, known for its tasty kalua pork bowl and generous portions. It is a standalone truck opposite Shark’s Cove, not in the food truck park. The surf n turf dish is popular, though the beef strips could be more tender. The locals bowl remains a favorite, with some customers preferring the shoyu chicken for its hella tender and well-seasoned thigh meat. The Triple Threat, which includes the Spicy Tuna, is highly recommended for seafood lovers and has been described as the best seafood ever. The food is fresh and flavorful, with quick service and plenty of seating. Customers enjoy local dishes at reasonable prices, though a price increase has been noted. The location is not wheelchair accessible, but parking is generally available unless there is a big event on the north shore. Visitors often stop here before surfing or snorkeling, appreciating the authentic surf atmosphere decorated with photos of high star surfers on the walls. For dessert, the moist and delicious banana loaf is a must-try, along with the sweet potato mash made with coconut milk, both favorites among customers. Many reviews highlight the healthy, organic options like sashimi bowls, smoothies, and wraps, with some mentioning the wrap with pesto chicken and loads of fresh veg served like a taco. Overall, Pupukea Grill offers a wonderful street-style food experience with friendly service and tasty, healthy choices.
