45 Best Food Trucks near Pearl City

“The owner works hard & his hulihuli chicken is authentic. Right next to Mānana 7-11 on sunny days. It's whole chicken, too. Juicy & he will chop for you. Some places are only doing quarters. Picked up for the Holloway fight & was done before the fight ended!“

“We had Sama Sama cater our wedding. Our guests LOVED the halo halo and milk teas! It was such a treat! Eric & Lalaine were such a joy to work with! They were very communicative with us in the planning process. We would love to have them again at our future parties! Highly recommend!!!“

“This place NEVER disappoints! Not an extensive menu but if you are local or want to eat local they have all the choices you would want. I tried the Portuguese sausage and fried eggs over easy and some of the crispy bacon. Both were so good! It's best that you get there early because when they sell out (and they often do) they shut down. BTW this is a food truck. They're is plenty of parking b/c it's right next to a Costco parking lot.“

“Leroy is the man and his food is out of this world“

“Best burritos on the planet!“

“Ono food made fresh at a great price!“

“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.“

“Juiciest chicken ever with beautifully smokey flavor and charred crunchy bits on perfectly glazed skin! We ordered a whole chicken and every piece was incredibly juicy and flavorful. We got to meet Mark, the owner, and learned this is a 4 year old family business. Mark even offered to give us extra rice, drinks, and some garlic shrimp to try (which was also absolutely perfectly cooked, plump, juicy and not too sweet of the sauce). We want more people to come visit and enjoy their amazing food, hospitality, and local vibe.“

“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.“

“My wife and I have been on the island for 2 weeks staying in ko olina. This is by far the best local coffee spot we went to out of ~8. Highly recommend supporting this local business! Bonus points for the staff being genuinely nice and happy for you stopping by.“

“Everyone suggested stopping here after our time at Kualoa Ranch and there's a reason why. The chicken was delicious - I don't usually like sauces (yeah, I'm the person who eats their chicken plain) but the huli huli sauce was fantastic - I understand why people buy extra. Really phenomenal meal (and so much food!) - wish we had managed to get back again before we left Hawaii!“

“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.“

“Easy to shop!!! Good prices too !!!!! Loved it !!!!!“

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

“Leonard’s Bakery stands as a hallowed cornerstone of Honolulu’s culinary heritage, a storied institution whose reputation is passed down through generations like a well-kept secret. This quintessential bakery has mastered the art of the Malasada, delivering a Portuguese-inspired confection that is quite simply a revelation.

The technical execution is flawless: a golden, crystalline exterior that yields with a satisfying crunch to a warm, airy, and remarkably light interior. Whether dusted in classic sugar or featuring a decadent tropical filling, each pastry is a masterclass in the balance of temperature and texture. Decades of familial anticipation were met with a singular, superlative reality—proving that Leonard’s is not just a bakery, but a mandatory pilgrimage for the global gastronome.“

“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.“

“Got a little taste of home here while on vacation! Seriously worth the drive to eat here and can enjoy the outlets before or after. Nice seating area and had other food trucks. Keep in mind it's located in the back side of the outlets and you won't be disappointed on the food. Prices are perfect compared the other places with a lot of food!“

“Convenient, hassle free kine block party at your home! Delicious and affordable!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Hawaii OG'z - Ono Grind'z last night and I was absolutely blown away by the food. The menu features a variety of classic Hawaiian dishes, all of which are made with fresh, local ingredients.The service at Hawaii OG'z was also top-notch. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“Hi!
Mountain Magic Shaved Ice is hands-down one of the best dessert spots around. The place is always clean and welcoming, and the shaved ice itself is perfectly prepared—fresh, fluffy, and clearly made with care. The flavors are absolutely wonderful, with so many options that never disappoint no matter what you choose. On top of that, the customer service is truly amazing: friendly, upbeat, and always making sure you leave happy. Mountain Magic never misses—they’re consistent every single time. Honestly, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back every hour because it’s just that good. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a refreshing treat and a great experience.“

“Decided to take a drive out to Mililani Tech Park to support our good friend Del at Del-icious Burgers Hawaii. So glad we did!

We ordered the OG Burger, Paniolo Burger, and Hapa Burger, along with tater tots, French fries, and fried onion strings, all hot and fresh! The tater tots were perfectly crispy, and I especially enjoyed the hickory bacon and wasabi sauce. Everything was delicious!

The wait wasn't long, and it was great catching up with Del. Awesome to see him running his own business! Definitely worth checking out. Support local!“

“Super delicious!! Comes with a big amount of servings and portions! Their fried shrimps, chicken, and catfish have a light crispy layer of coating, not overdone! For any picky eaters like me and don’t like seafood, I had tried their catfish and you can’t even taste the fishy or muddy taste! Tastes like chicken lol! Also their food isn’t greasy like other places. Worth the money! Very sweet owners too! Will come back again!“

“We came here yesterday and got the animal fries and they were SO GOOD. Came back again tonight for our last night here to get another order of them as well as the burger. There was a little bit of a wait for the food but it looks like it’s a one man operation and it’s totally worth the wait!! The homemade thousand island is so fricking good I would buy a 5 gallon pail of it if I could LOL! Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area!! I meant to take pictures but I couldn’t wait to eat the food“

“After going to college in San Diego, I was disappointed with the Mexican food options here on Oahu. That changed when I stumbled upon this place after a night out.

Hands down the best Mexican food on the island, no question. Just remember - it's cash only!“

“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!!!“

“I just had a bacon burger and fries. Food was really good. I only eat my meat extra well done and I had no problems with my food. The burger was big with good slices of crispy bacon. They gave a good portion of fries; crispy fries. Good food at good prices. 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.“

“I would eat here everyday if it were practical. The best spot on the island. Quality is top notch, that of a five star diner. Portions are always large and everything made fresh. Family run business, always kind and always gracious. Love this place. You can’t go wrong.“

“The food is ABSOLUTELY delicious! The service is efficient and courteous. It is, however, a food truck and once you get your food, you can take it to go, or eat outside using the adjacent seating braving the elements (including some rather brave birds, and very pesky flies).“

“Had a wonderful time seeing a long time friends, great food, good deal. Will come again when I come back to the island.“

“Great coffee! Great service!“

“Our favorite coffee truck! The drinks are great! Our baristas are my fave! And the text to order is the best!!!! Love this truck!“

“It is the only store that my husband and I come back to buy again and again. you guys must try“

“the rubs were amazing!! 5 stars!!“

“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.“

“2nd to None.“

“Cheap, fast, and super tasty. Mike and Billz is one of my favorite lunch spots in Waikiki. It's easy to miss cause it's a small food truck tucked away in a lot, but you can get a steak plate for $7 and it comes with a salad. I usually get mine with their garlic sauce, mushrooms, and an egg.“

“Best shrimp tacos. Tough act to follow. Straight bussin’“

“Hands down some of the best Mexican food on Oʻahu. Period, point blank. And the carne asada burrito? The best I’ve had on the island. I crave it regularly.

Honestly, I wish Tacos Don Chema had a full restaurant with margaritas because I would probably be there at least once a week. 😂 The food is that good.

So why four stars instead of five? Mondays.

Google and Yelp may say they’re open on Mondays, but proceed with caution. I once went specifically because I was craving that carne asada burrito, only to find them closed. I called…no answer. When I stopped by a few days later and asked about Mondays, I was basically told that sometimes they open on Mondays and sometimes they don’t.

So consider this your warning: if you have a serious Tacos Don Chema craving, maybe don’t gamble on a Monday. 😂 oh and they don’t have lids for their drinks so don’t order if you’re taking it to go.

Other than that, I absolutely recommend them. Great Mexican food, incredible carne asada and one of my favorite food trucks at Ohana Hale Waikiki.“
