“Stopped here because the children were getting antsy and it was a very smart move. The food is very good and they have a great menu and they grill outside on these large open grill grates. There was a local neighborhood dog laying underneath a shady bush who visits every day and being a dog owning family we like that.“

“The food was pretty good but the spicy shrimp was super spicy to me lol so if you can’t take to much heat try the garlic shrimp instead. The owner wasn’t to friendly but maybe is just his personality, the place is next to a beautiful pond and nice trees . Is flies🪰like in all outdoor places serving food it didn’t bother us to bad but just want to make people aware of what. Overall the food was very yummy .“
“There was a short line as expected, but warm malasadas are tasty (if you're off the diet for this week!) They did mess up our order which was disappointing (what? No coconut filling!) but we weren't going to hang around to straighten it out.“

“Been going here for almost 10 years! I used to live around the corner and went almost everyday. Tommy and his wife are the most kind people ever and they will always be my first stop coming home. I moved off island a few years ago but come home every year and they always remember me and still have the best food! I always get the garlic chicken and spring rolls?????? highly recommend“

“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.“

“Bikini burger was a perfect fit after a long day of vacation. Fresh, hot juicy burger that comes with seasoned fries. We also got the salad and loved the toppings (pickle, tomato, dressing). Simple but delicious. The uniquely fried Oreos were a fun dessert. My son loved them.“
“Best shaved ice in Honolulu! Delicious ice cream and syrup flavors! They also have all natural options. We’ll be back tomorrow 🤤“

“We saw this place food truck place on Instagram and noticed, so we decided to check it out. Let me just say, wow. This place is amazing.
We tried the Bonito Smash Plate, which is basically an everything platter, and it easily fed three of us with extra to take home. Everything was so good. Even for a food truck lot, the whole place had a great vibe, the staff was super friendly, and the food really hit the spot.
The go-to move is the garlic shrimp with extra sauce on the rice. Honestly, that combo alone is worth the trip. We also tried the BBQ chicken, smoked meat, and kalbi, and everything was packed with flavor.
Highly recommend this place. Great food, great people, and definitely worth going out of your way for.“

“First time here, exactly what you want from a beach food truck. Everything made to order, had the coconut shrimp. Crazy great portions, big meaty shrimp nicely fried with good sides. So many mediocre sit down restaurants in Waikiki, skip those and come here. See picture for ideal consumption location.“

“Delicious! The locations in CA are slowly closing and we never even considered looking on Oahu but it popped up when we searched for a burger place and drove straight here. The food is great. We love the parm fries and chili fries (without onion). We also love that you can completely build your own burger. It's so customizable and perfectly for us. Highly recommend The Counter. Please stay open until we return next year!!“

“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 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.“

“The shrimp and burgers were delicious! I was extremely disappointed with the 11$ soft serve ice cream though it was so inedible that my 6 year old sugar addict actually wouldn’t eat it. 😳“

“Tried to go yesterday. Closed. Tried to go today. Closed. How is this place still in business if they are never open?*edit: finally made it when open and I can see why there's so much hype. The lechon is probably one of the best on the island ive redone my review.“

“10/10 - Ordered the OG Acai bowl. Presentation was perfect, fruit is fresh and the service was great. After a long day of snorkeling and outdoor adventures this was a perfect spot to relax, eat healthy food and enjoy the rest of our evening on this beautiful island. I would definitely recommend coming here. Hope I can stop here again before my trip ends. Cheers!“
“Got the Hawaiian burger, very good stuff. Was made medium as it should be, if you want otherwise you need to ask. The portion of fries is more than enough, only downside is the fries were not seasoned a lot, the ones that were seasoned though were tasty. I'm not big on crinkle cut ones but it's fine with this burger.“

“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.“

“The most delicious tacos I’ve had in Hawaii, period. I had one chicken taco and one steak taco. Both tacos came with homemade pico and homemade guacamole, and all the salsas at the open salsa bar are also homemade. You add your own cilantro, onions, salsa, hot sauce, and lemon or lime—everything is there. You can really taste the authentic Mexican flavor that you’re not going to get at some of these other fancy restaurants. I’ve honestly enjoyed these two tacos more than many fine-dining places I’ve eaten at here. I wouldn’t call them childhood memories since I didn’t grow up in Mexico, but they remind me of happy memories from time spent in Mexico. It’s a small food truck in a parking lot, a one-person operation, cash only, $5 per taco. There’s one table with five chairs, and napkins and plastic forks are self-serve. If you want truly delicious, street-style Mexican food, I can’t think of another place in Hawaii that comes close to these tacos. 6pm-11pm Tue Fri Sat. Cash only. BYOB.“

“We love Drive Thru Joe. The only legit amenity on this base provides us a piece of happiness. Customer service is top and the drinks are fun, refreshing and creative. This is on our top 5 list of things we will miss when leaving the island!!!“
“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.“

“Amazing Vietnamese food truck with an extensive menu!
I came across this food truck the other night with a hankering for Pho. As I approached, I could see a huge photo collage of most of the dishes served. A very nice woman at the counter took my order, of which I went for the Oxtail Pho and a Pineapple Sugar Cane drink.
After paying, I went to pick a table. Within 8 minutes the food arrived at the table and it smelled wonderful. First off, I’ve never had oxtail pho before… love oxtail, love pho, so perfect combo! The broth was delicious and the pho was fantastic! The only thing I’d say is that the portion was a bit small for Hawaiian and Vietnamese standards.
As for the ambiance, it’s very casual with a street food scene vibe that I was digging! There’s ample parking as well.
Next time I’d like to try the pork rice plate and the snails. If you’ve got a craving for Vietnamese food, this spot is worth trying!“
“This a great spot to stop for an açai bowl while out driving the island - so fresh and delicious! Very good pricing as well! Service is so lovely and friendly. Bonus points for the unbelievable beautiful view while ordering and enjoying your food 💕“
“There are meals you enjoy, and then there are meals that quietly redefine what simple food can be. Pagaikiki’s Kitchen, tucked beside the NEX, delivers exactly that.
I ordered the chicken with rice, and from the very first bite it was obvious that this kitchen understands one of the hardest things in cooking: perfection through simplicity.
The chicken is nothing short of extraordinary. Every piece is cooked with remarkable precision, arriving at that elusive point where the exterior develops just enough color and character while the inside remains unbelievably tender and succulent. Each bite is impossibly juicy, as though every ounce of moisture has been carefully preserved. The seasoning doesn’t overpower it enhances, allowing the natural flavor of the chicken to take center stage. It’s balanced, deliberate, and executed with the kind of consistency that only comes from genuine craftsmanship.
This isn’t chicken that’s merely “good.” It’s chicken prepared at its absolute peak where texture, flavor, and technique come together so seamlessly that you stop thinking about the cooking process altogether and simply enjoy the experience. It is, quite honestly, a work of art.
And then there’s the rice.
Too often it’s treated as an afterthought, but here it deserves its own applause. Perfectly cooked, light, fragrant, and incredibly satisfying, it captures every drop of flavor from the chicken while remaining exceptional in its own right. Together, they create a meal that proves extraordinary food doesn’t need complexity it needs care.
What makes Pagaikiki’s Kitchen memorable is its honesty. There are no unnecessary flourishes or distractions, just outstanding food prepared with respect for the ingredients and an obvious commitment to getting every detail right.
Some meals fill your stomach. Others stay with you long after you’ve left.
Pagaikiki’s Kitchen belongs firmly in the latter category. I’ll be thinking about that perfectly cooked chicken and that unforgettable rice for a long time.“

“It's a food truck with many others and even has a drive through. The food at the elephant shack is amazing. Great seating area in the outdoor atmosphere with a few games to play while you're waiting. I had the Pad Thai and then grab another to go. Yumminess !!“

“Quick service! The food was AMAZING! I did not get to try to bakery while on the island but the food truck was worth it! This was in the parking lot of the mall. Easy to park! The malasadas were delicious! I loved the cream filled one the best!“
