“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 💕“

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

“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.“

“Best burritos on the planet!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“Food was Very Good. Price was Reasonable. Muchas Gracias from Us.“

“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. 😳“

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

“This place was amazing. I had a carne asada burrito with beans, cheese, sour cream and onions and it was spectacular. The beans are some of the best I have eaten and the sour cream had a hint of lime. The burrito was grilled to a golden perfection and 10 inches long. The salsa will set your face on fire. The people were lovely. And the prices were reasonable. I will be returning.“

“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.“

“Their portions are worth more than 5.00. Food and smoothies are delicious. Their dole pineapple whip is better than Dole Plantation. The staff at Ward/Kewalo basin are friendly and professional.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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!!“

“Great coffee! Great service!“

“I lived in Miami, South Beach and Key Biscayne, South Florida for 13 years having many good friends from Peru, RICO RICO Chicken has that oh so MUY DELICIOSO Peruvian flavor that brings joy and happiness to my tummy and wonderful memories of my Peruvian friends' dinner parties in their homes. Thank you for bringing back all those wonderful memories RICO RICO Chicken. You're Numero Uno in Hawaii <3 !!!! Nothing like Good Food. Good Friends. Good Times. Right Felipe Marrou? Bradshaw Lotspeich?“

“Great food with a friendly flare. Enjoyed the experience at st. Joseph’s amp theater during a concert.“

“Service with a smile. Tasty ribs for the soul. Oh yea, the beans were superb! Bozie Jones BarBQ is located on South King Street across the street from St Mary’s Episcoplal -the church with the huge red cross on the front. Bozie is opened 12noon to 6pm, Thursday through Sunday. Yum yum eat em up!“

“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!“
