“Leilani & Will of Leilani’s Island Tacos catered my daughter’s wedding last evening. Our guests raved about the food and excellent service! We are from out of town and Leilani was so great to work with, arranging everything by phone & email. I highly recommend them! Mahalo Leilani & Will!!“

“Best Malasada’s I have ever had!! The perfect chewy consistency!! Love them!!“

“They open late, even on Sunday nights, and close at midnight, which is amazing for late-night eats in Waikiki. It is directly across from the Alohilani Hotel and operates out of a food truck, kind of like a permanent food truck. The most popular item is the Pineapple Teriyaki burger $25. The girl working here is super friendly and super nice.“

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.“

“This food truck is in the Ward Harbour area, and I've been there for lunch several times. The food is always delicious. Their chili dishes are excellent, and the tacos they've recently started serving are also fantastic. On this particular visit, I had the Fresh Fish Tacos. They were substantial and had a light, addictive flavor. The Pesto Pasta is also delicious, and the Grilled Short Rib I had as a side was so tender and habit-forming. The sauce is truly the best. If you want to enjoy a casual lunch while soaking up the Hawaiian sun, this is the place to go.“

“I visited this food truck on my very first night on the island, and it instantly became the highlight of my trip. It was so delicious that I was a little sad they weren’t open on the weekend, because I was already craving a second visit! I ended up stopping by twice during my stay, and it was hands down the best food I had on the island. The flavors were phenomenal, the portions were huge, and the staff was so warm and welcoming. They even remembered my name, which was such a nice touch.

The first time I was there, I tried the smoked meat and Kalbi beef combo, and the second time I went all in with the smoked meat, Kalbi beef, and the garlic shrimp. Everything was just phenomenal. And I have to mention: definitely try the iced tea or the Island Crusher drinks—they’re super tasty as well. This place is an absolute must any time I visit the island, and I highly recommend it!“

“I have been shopping there for many years and love the selection of vendors that are there. We can almost always find what we are looking for including gifts from local artists and made quite a few friends with some of the vendors. There is something for everyone. Also I recently became a vendor myself.“

“Great food and great staff!“

“I came here on 2 seperate occasions and I have a mixed rating for it.

I would say the food is excellent. Very very good stuff.... but the wait time is atrocious.

I had an aloha smash burger, a loco Dog, and a chicken sandwich on the 2 trips. The food was fresh, great tasting and the fries were outta this world tasty.

Now onto the issues. I work in the food industry and have ran pretty much every cuisine under the sun. I have done so for 15 years and I think the wait times are ridiculous. Both times I went there I literally had to wait 50 minutes one night and an hour and 10 minutes the next night for food.

I would have just gotten a refund and went somewhere else if other places were open because while the food is absolutely top notch, the wait times make it not worth it and there wasnt many people ahead of us either of those times. 7 customers first night, 9 customers the longer night.

I understand they are working out of a small area with limited resources but it seems as though they have outgrown their space. 50-70 minutes for a burger, fries, and hot dogs is ridiculous any way you slice it.

Those guys are working hard and they're ingredients are fresh but from one chef to the next, you need to expand to a new area to allow yourself to grow. Working off of a small flat top and a table top plug in deep fryer will not being able to keep up with the demand and im hoping for the sake of your restaurant, it doesn't tarnish your reputation because as I said above..The food is phenomenal and these guys can cook up a mean dinner.

Only issue is they are holding themselves back from moving to the next level with the small space and crazy wait times.

When you can only do one ticket at a time because of limited space, the current work model isnt going to work out long term. I dont mind a wait for good food but I have to admit, this was the longest wait time Ive ever experienced for food in any setting.

I hope you guys live long and prosper because you know how to cook some great food. Take the risk and jump into a bigger space, I have faith you will be successful.

Only hesitation I have in returning again in the future is placing an order at 9pm but not being able to eat until after 10pm even if the food is phenomenal.“

“I visited Waikiki Crêpes during my trip to Hawaii, and it was absolutely amazing! The crêpes were fresh, delicious, and perfectly made. They have so many options sweet and savory but my absolute favorite was the Nutella crêpe. It was warm, gooey, and just perfect!

The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick even though they were busy. The place is very clean and cute.

I definitely recommend trying Waikiki Crêpes if you’re in the area. I’ll for sure come back on my next trip!“

“Our catered chicken and steak fajita meal was fabulous and very tasty. BEST Mexican food around! Thanks Raul and team!!! We will be back !!“

“Good food. Delicious breakfast sandwich.“

“Best burritos on the planet!“

“Quite possible the best piece of fish I've ever eaten. I ordered the Miso Butterfish Plate (Black Cod) and literally every bite was heaven. The skin of the fish was cooked so perfectly and melted in your mouth with a perfect sauce to accompany it. The furikake rice was excellent and was all the better as it soaked up the extra sauce from fish as well. Outstanding.“

“The malasadas were really good—not overly sweet. I saw them recommended online, so I made a special stop to try them. To my surprise, the owner was super nice and even gave us an extra one. Really grateful . This little dessert shop is really delicious. Friends passing by should give it a try — definitely worth recommending! This little dessert shop is really delicious. Friends passing by should give it a try — definitely worth recommending!“

“EVERYONE there was Super Friendly and Very helpful and Xander was Super Helpful and went out of his way to make us comfortable!
Everything on the menu was Fantastic as we went back a Second time so we could try the menu items we missed the first time.“

“Really good tacos and they give good portions. They didn’t have beef cheeks, but the pork is really really good! I would recommend the tacos over the burrito… not saying it’s bad but the tacos were so good! I’d definitely come back.“

“Best veggie dog I’ve had hands down. It’s also inexpensive for those who are wondering.“

“Very good poke. Reasonable prices and blocks away from the beach I wan they weren’t 4500 miles away from my home but it will be my first stop next time back Mahalo FIVE STAR POKE“

“best Mexican food on island, friendly service, HUGE portions - well worth it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The freshest Poke on the Eastside, hands down! Mahalo“

“This food truck is only open until 1pm on Friday. Got the spicy ahi katsu and it was fantastic! This place is definitely worth the trip out to Sand Island. The only thing I wish they had is a drink selection - only bottled water so grab a drink before you go.“
