“Yes did a take out 1st thought my red hat ladies would enjoy staff was friendly and kind. Everyone had a great time. Food was delicious.”

“AAAAAAAA+”

“Great service and delicious food! ❤️❤️”

“Is Soo good”

“Very nice family and atmosphere”

“For breakfast, a bowl of Pampanga Kitchen's Arroz Caldo (rice soup) is a great way to start the day. It's full of flavor, with generous amounts of chicken and an egg. Also included: two calamansi to jazz it up even more.

Order and pay at the register first. Counter seating.

Parking: parking may get tight later in the day

Wheelchair accessibility: good accessibility”

“Great food, good service , comfort food”

“Big City Diner in Waipio is back to opening at 8 a.m. for breakfast. I recommend the grilled salmon and eggs. The salmon was perfectly cooked and it goes great with the eggs. I picked whole wheat toast as my side for a healthy breakfast that tastes more like a splurge breakfast.

As usual, the service was better than excellent.

Parking: Parking right outside the door.”

“Decent First Visit, but Room for Improvement

This was my first visit to this restaurant, and I stopped by alone on a busy Saturday evening. There was a waitlist for a table, but they offered me a spot at the bar, which I accepted.

While I appreciated the seat availability, the bar counter was noticeably wet when I sat down, and it wasn't cleaned when the bartender greeted me. I ended up drying it myself with a napkin provided with my utensils.

I ordered a well-done steak with broccoli and mashed potatoes, along with a mango iced tea. The steak came undercooked, though I still ate it, and the broccoli was very plain, lacking flavor. The bartender was polite and attentive, though I had to wave him over for a second drink.

Overall, it was an okay experience for a busy night, but a bit more attention to detail could improve the service quality.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“I love going to Genki. It's right inside Pearl Ridge mall. I crave their volcano roll weekly. ? The staff are nice and the restaurant is clean and comfortable.”

“Food was good, tried the lechon kawali and pancit. Lechon kawali didn't stick out but was still good. Pancit is really good. Had to ask for sauces tho. I liked how the tables are spaced out and not cramped. Service was excellent. There’s a bathroom which is a plus. Atmosphere is nice and open and is clean and organized. Overall great place!”

“Very good food. Great value. Great service. Favorite place in Aiea.”

“Korean food in Waikele Shopping Center. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, only takeout is available. It takes a while to order, but I like it because it's delicious and the amount of rice is large.”

“my favorite is well all of it, Ahi poke bowl to pick one. nom”

“Meet the owner and he was so nice and the space inside to eat was bigger than we thought. Call in your pickup order. You have on extra charges and yes the food is actually 5 STARS ? Recommend the seafood and steak dishes”

“The food is superb the only negative is the portion is too big so you have to take togo. It’s going to fill your refrigerator space too fast with all the leftovers!”

“The food truck is located in the parking lot, not in the marketplace building. We went at 10 am on a Friday and there was no one in line. The order was made fresh. We ordered the crispy pork sisig side dish, no rice to take home for lunch.

Parking: It's the old historic site of Arakawa's store.”

“Cool malasada donut truck. Very nice staff and quick service… The donuts were ok but I wasn’t expecting perfect because it’s a mobile donut shop… definitely try it though…”

“Food was delicious and owner was super friendly. Overheard staff taking a phone order and said they would come in early for order pick up if the customer needed which just shows the kind of service they provide!”

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

“You can also eat in the store, but they give you food in disposable containers. After ordering, it was so large that I had no choice but to go, so it was convenient for customers. I ordered one serving of the special set and kimchi pancake, and 2 adults and a 3-year-old child ate it together. I packed the leftover rice and side dishes well and was able to eat until breakfast. When you order a dish, you can choose four side dishes, including kimchi, seasoned seaweed, stewed potatoes, japchae, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned cabbage, etc. All four we chose were delicious and both the ribs and kimchi pancakes were excellent restaurants. It was the most cost-effective and satisfying meal during my trip to Hawaii?”

“We were in the area and saw this food truck on the side of the road. It seemed really popular with a line of about 10 people so we opted to try it. The smells coming out of the truck were good and I could understand why they had the line that they did.

We had the cheapest things on the menu. A spam, egg, and cheese sandwich and a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. They were $5 each. They were basic for what they were but the food truck does say you can ask for anything to be made crispier which I’m sure would add to the flavor for some of the sandwiches.

For island price, I would say it’s fair, but for mainland price, it’s not worth it. For how basic the meal was, it did taste good and it barely took any waiting time. I don’t think we’ll come back to actively seek this food truck but maybe that’s due to us not getting something more expensive on the menu.”

“Nice selection of traditional Hawaiian favorites at reasonable prices and generous portions!”

“This is a nice little shave ice stand near the Leonard’s. The ice is very fine, the way a shave should be. I suggest getting the “snow cap” added to your order, which is the condensed milk.This place is cash only, so be sure you bring some when you swing by.”

“I found this place on a whim, and I’m really glad I did. I ordered a lobster roll, the brisket and fries. The lobster roll was huge and delicious. The bun was steaming hot and the flavor very well balanced. The brisket was delicious and melted in your mouth. Fell apart as you picked it up. The fries were a little soft but that’s a preference and I didn’t ask for them to be well done. Don’t hesitate to get down here and try it absolutely delicious.

Parking: Lots of parking! No worries!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access”

“The food is great, generous amount and a bargain.Food can run out by 11am.During State holidays, many will line up before it opens.

Parking: Good luck when it's busy.”

“i recommend the fn with the side order meat.”

“



Family friendly: 4/5
Stroller friendly: 5/5
ADA accessible: 5/5

I would say this is a top 5 Thai food spot for me. Right flavors, right portions, right price! You wouldn't believe this would be coming out of a food truck in the parking lot of an outlet mall, but BELIEVE IT!

Pad se ew with chicken, Basil eggplant with chicken, chicken pang curry ($15 each). Top notch, and comes out super hot! Only downside, if you're planning on staying to eat, it'll be on the back of the truck bed, or waiting benches.

Come check this place out when you in the area!”

“Delicious ice cream and the best waffle cone I've ever had! Berry Baked and Kookie Cookie are bangers.”

“Amazing food, amazing service and insanely low prices!! My husband and I found this gem tonight and will definitely be back whenever we visit Hawaii. Massive portions, high quality food for such low cost. Highly recommend!!!”

“Tasty food and easy parking”

“Yummy Salvadorian food here. Tried a little bit of everything- a pupusa, a tamale, and a taco. All were tasty, but the tamale definitely stood out. The meat was very moist and flavorful. Sauces enhanced the flavors.”

“They can customize their menu according to your wishes too!”

“Not only is this bread incredible, the uncle behind the bread is just as incredible. I can’t speak highly enough of this man and product. Please please give him a try, it’s well worth your time and money.”

“Love it <3!”

“Great food, amazing flavor, great service. The experience exceeded my expectations. I love to system from ordering to receiving the food. Nothing was short of flavor, the women who served us and took our order were very sweet and on top of their customer service. I was blown away by the fried rice omelette. It’s family style for most dishes which is great for sharing. I was so happy that I ordered their November special it had a little of everything that I wanted. Highly recommend and will be back again.”

“Great waitress, very friendly! Also, wonderful food!”

“Very delicious Puerto Rican food, every time I get the Hapa Plate which has Pastele Gandule Rice and Bakalau Salad, ONO BRAH!

Parking: They open about 11:00 am not 10:00 am”

“Food 8s delicious but they got orders mixed up and gave my pie to delivery made to another location. No 9ffer to have other location hold it so I could go pick up.”

“Our server is absolutely amazing. They are very attentive and accommodating. The food is delicious and comes up quickly. Very flavorful and yummy! Would definitely come again!”

“I love their avocado with tapioca and ube”

“It’s the last food truck in the lineup but it was the one that got my business bc I was craving a little Thai. The green curry (with chicken) was phenomenal, and well portioned for the price. It was served up steaming hot, loaded with chicken and included a couple yummy fish balls. Perfect rice (2 small scoops). I didn’t ask for a spice level but could have bumped it up a little had I been given the option. Seating available but flies like hanging around (naturally) and can be a bit bothersome. Friendly folks running this establishment!”

“On a rainy day, we found ourselves craving pho, and this hidden gem was just the spot! The map led us to the back, but it’s actually located towards the front, right by Suzie's and the vape shop. The food was absolutely ono—really delicious! The restaurant itself is quite small, but the service was quick and efficient. The only downside was that the restroom could have been cleaner. Despite that, we had a great experience and will definitely return!”

“Authentic Nepali Food in the City with reasonable pricing..Momo ( Dumpling) is one of the best..
Make sure you call the owner before you drive as Location varies.”

“Quick and tasty, five minutes to serve but definitely prepped with care and time before hand. The broth for the tonkotsu was flavorful, the pork was tender. Had a side of the chicken katsu, the tonkotsu, and a combo (mini with gyoza and a selection addition). The katsu was so thin while still being juicy (unicorn combo) and the gyoza was beautifully fried. So happy ?”

“I went there for Ube cheese and it’s was boom, not to sweet not to salty it’s was great i literally want to get more now.

Parking: Waipahu”

“Aji Ramen is a true gem that every ramen lover must visit! The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

Now, let’s talk about the food! The portions are huge, and the ramen here is simply amazing! Each bowl is a perfect harmony of rich, flavorful broth, impeccably cooked noodles, and fresh toppings. Every slurp was a delightful experience that kept me wanting more.
The fried noodles, too, were outstanding – crispy, savory, and just the right amount of satisfying.

But what truly stole the show for me were the crab and cream cheese puffs. I can confidently say they are the best I've encountered at any restaurant in Hawaii! These puffs are incredibly light, bursting with creamy goodness, and filled with a perfect blend of tender crab meat. They are truly a must-try!

I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their incredible dishes! Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving flavorful affordable ramen and delightful appetizers!”

“Me and my son had time to kill so decided to go get some breakfast. Nice and chill spot in Waipahu, lots of uncles and aunties just chill and talking story. Has a really nice diner vibe and with the open kitchen more fun. Service was fast and friendly, food came out nice and hot and the waitress is very helpful. Would definitely come back and try out different dishes.”

“Love the cute look of this little food truck! You wouldn’t guess it but this is where to get the best garlic shrimp on the island. Big, juicy plump shrimps and a good amount of them on a plate with hot rice and the best Kim chi I've tasted on the island. The two ladies in charge were so kind and even gave us extra rice when they saw I was sharing with my daughter. So kind!”

“My BFF & I haven't been here since the Pandemic, this is our favorite location since this restaurant has more than one location (Kunia). We ordered our favorite dishes (Evil Jungle, Red Curry with tofu, Spring Rolls, Pad Thai with pork, sticky rice). Our waitress was friendly, even made a recommendation so that we can try it on our next visit. As always place was nice and clean.

Parking: We went early, because this area during lunch and dinner hours can be packed.

Wheelchair accessibility: One fronting the restaurant”

“Fantastic hole in the wall sushi place. We tried the sushi rolls, gyazo, and miso; everything was ono. Staff was very friendly, food came very quickly, and place is clean. Definitely reasonable prices.Weren't many midday customers, but i think it's cause Waipio gentry is just a low traffic area. They really deserve more, will be coming back. Cheehoo

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu options, booster seats

Parking: In strip mall, lots of parking”

“We ordered 200 bentos with pancit mix. Garlic chicken, and 100 pork adobo, 100 kawali lechon for my wife's celebration of life. The food was so good and I am still getting lots of excellent compliments on their food. Highly recommend them for any event. Mahalo Russ and your”

“Food is amazing for camping, hiking, or even going to the beach. Must buy a bento before a big adventure. The price of the bento changed, but it's still not too bad. Need to go back again to truly rate this place. 5 star for now.”

“My sister in law is How I've found this Small Cafe. They are Awesome!!! The Food is Fantastic and They are So Nice!!!!! The Only Reason Why I Only give 4 Stars is because it feels So Castrophobic when I go up in there. But other than that I'm their Customer for Life!!!!!!! ?????????????????????????”

“Take out only, clean homey family run okazuya. They are open until they sell out! CASH ONLY! Shoyu hotdog is soooo good, fried noodles with toppings taste just like the old Sato's they took over! Plenty of parking.

Parking: Free parking lot with lots of stalls. Easy to maneuver.”

“Cheap eats with their $1.50 hot dogs with drink and $1.99 pizza slices. They need to bring back the Combo Pizza since all they have is the Cheese and Pepperoni.

Lines can get long but i usually go off peak hours and when the lines are short. Prices on point with this economy. 5 stars?”

“Got here around 11am on a Tuesday. No line! Fast service, amazing food! Coming back for sure. Atmosphere is great. Local music, open air with shade sails, water feature for social posts. This is all about 100’ from nearest free parking lot.”

“WAS an excellent place to eat, but is no longer on the leeward side. The owners apparently still operate in Waikiki at 1217 Hopaka St, but the Kapolei location is vacant.”

“Words cannot describe the love and care and perfection into this food!!! Omg I can barely put my fork down to write this! So delicious!! This is not your "mainland Mexican" A hidden gem!!! ?”

“Food was delicious! Manang, the older lady who served the food was very nice and accommodating. The pork bbq, pork adobo, chicken inasal and the bulalo soup were the best choice for us!”

“Great place to hangout, watch sports, and sing karaoke. Food is great and the drinks are very reasonable. Owner is so sweet, she takes care of the customers. My favorite place to go.”

“Fruits and vegetables are fresh. Excellent cuts of beef and pork. Eggs and milk cheaper than the grocery stores. Costco hotdogs and the drink are an excellent lunch choice. Highly recommended!”

“best bubble tea in the whole world”

“Just beware that this place gets a CRAZY amount of orders on weekends and any holidays. You're going to be waiting like 30+ minutes and up to 40 minutes. They say it's because there are so many people making phone orders on those days. So you might as well get a drink or coffee and get ready to be patient. They are a small team and you can see they probably only have like 3 or 4 people cooking. The food is great and it is a nice place to relax and dine-in at. But just know you WILL be waiting a long time on weekends.”

“The catfish is constantly good always have that when I go there”

“Fabulous food!! Best in Waikīkī!! The food truck across the street from the convention center. 5 stars!!!! They have a restaurant too!!!”

“This is the only place in Oahu. I go for Thai food. I’ve been living often on in Thailand for the last seven years and this food is pretty close. Currys are very ono, the staff are very nice and take very good care. The Thai iced tea is worth the caffeine rush.”

“Parking: Right in front

Kid-friendliness: All children welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: Door is big enough for wheel chairs”

“Great vibe, friendly local crowd, got billiards, and karaoke with a current song selection! Bartender and staff treated me and friend with so much respect, had fun!”

“My son and I walked in for a late lunch. The atmosphere was clean, bright and lively. The staff greeted us with a smile and invited us to sit down. I ordered Lunch Plate B, and it was delicious and the proportions were generous! My son ordered Egg Flower Soup which we shared, also yummy! I can't remember what his entree was but he said it was delicious!”

“Convenient location in Waipahu right next to savers. Aunty's ready to welcome you in and give any recommendations. Their crispy gau gee, beef chow fun and steamed fish was all ONO!

Mahalo to you guys!! ????

Definitely recommend”

“Great prices for the quality! A+ all around! Definitely recommend! 5 ⭐️!”

“Best damn bar in Hawaii!! We came here from
Florida and found this bar off the cut and will make sure we come back here every time! My fiancé is the vocalist and guitarist of a metal band “Burn the Science” he’s going on tour and will definitely be adding this bar to this tour coming soon!!!! Love you guys Mahalo!!! Till next time!!”

“Very clean and reasonable price ! Lots of selections.”

“Gave it 5 stars because no 1/2 star. Food and sauces was just good but nothing special about it. The fried chicken wings taste ordinary, although the strips were a bit crispy. I kinda feel bad for them that they're right next to Jollibee. They have good fries selection and the chips that came with the chicken taste fresh and crispy and not oily. I think they call it Jojo chips.

Parking: They're in a location with lots of parking.”

“Always friendly help. A place to meet neighborhood friends for drinks and, for the athletic, darts. Service not the fastest, but that's the joy of that long time dining/drinking place. Been going there for the past twenty plus years.”

“Prime rib, garlic shrimp and other local favorites. Kind of hard to find. Takes long time for orders to come out.

Parking: No on-site parking. Have to park around the corner. Don't park at Bank of Hawaii.”

“On our most recent trip to Hawaii, we tried your granola and loved it! We brought some home and ordered more online. It's the best granola we've ever had!”

“Was in the middle of reorganizing and getting new furniture when I was there, but I can tell it's gonna be a really nice spot when they are done. I would recommend parking a bit away from the shop and walking over. The nook it's in can be tight for parking.”

“Portion of vinegar In chicken Adobe was perfect! Balance of ingredients rendered good flavor. Great experience eating the food which was served in vert generous to take home wonderful tasting left overs.

Vegetarian options: Did not see as much veggie as meat combination dishes.

Parking: Few trees if seeking shade.”

“I chose take out, so I can only speak about the food itself, not the service. I ordered the vermicelli with spring roll. It was okay! I thought the nuoc Cham (sauce) was somewhat bland, and I added my own fish sauce at home. The vegetables were fresh and the noodles were a tad over cooked. The spring roll filling was tasty, but the wrapper was a little stale. It felt like it had been sitting out for a little. Nonetheless, the food was good! I would be willing to try the food at the restaurant or a different menu. :)”

“Fantastic halo halo. I did the popular mahalo halo and it hit the spot. On a hot summer day in Hawaii, you just cant go wrong. Do some shopping, grab some Filipino grills (I had the grilled squid with squash) and then halo halo on your way out.”

“This place is spacious, super clean, and well-maintained! ?? It has a bathroom, but parking is limited. ? Staff are friendly and quick to assist! ?? Great location overall. Highly recommend! ? No complaints at all.”

“Aunty is the sweetest and gave such good vibes me and my wife ordered the mix plate and shrimp plate worth every penny, one of the best food truck on island. Very ono! Thank”

“Been here for a few years now & thru out this year by far the best I experienced with them. I see a lot of progress and improvement food is way better and waiting time is reasonable.”

“A definite must try to satisfy your Poke Bowl and Local Plate lunch cravings. Service is impeccable and the flavors here really hit the spot. Their poke bowls are made to order and they also serve refreshing drinks and açai bowls right next door. Convenient one stop shop to satisfy your food cravings.Hands down one of the best poke bowl places this side of the island!!!”

“Other than waiting 10-20 minutes for my order, the Fruity-Pop corn dog was surprisingly very good. Never had a Korean corn dog since Texas Korean corn dog. Good spot for corn dog but just need them to make their order little faster next time. Overall very good spot 👍”

“My new favorite restaurant! I'm so happy to finally find fantastic Mexican food!!! I will definitely be eating here often!!! The chips and salsa are delicious!!! Chimichanga was perfect! Great staff too!!! #fatgirlhappy :)”

“I like Taco Bell's convenience and go there often when I want something spicy. The inside of the store is nicer and cleaner than other stores. The staff are also quiet and kind.”

“A great, always busy location. Cody is the best broista on the island and makes a great start to anybody’s day! I come here for the great customer service, and the coffee is an added bonus!”

“Me and my wife are visiting Hawaii on our honeymoon. We try to go and support local businesses as much as possible. I saw this place on a TikTok video, so we got into the car and drove there. The drive from Waikiki is about 9 miles but with traffic it took us about 35 minutes to get there. When we got there the lady that was there greeted us with a warm smile and she offered to let us try the Chicken long rice before we ordered it. The food was sooooo good it was definitely worth the drive up there. I highly recommend this place and I highly recommend the Chicken long rice. Also, i recommend getting the Diamond Head soda with it. Thank you Laverne’s for the amazing food and service.”
