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 dayWheelchair accessibility: good accessibility“
“I absolutely love this place! 20/10 shave ice and friendly! I try to stop by as often as I can when I’m on that side. I also love taking my clients here! My favorite shave ice on island! ? (Blue vanilla + coconut = an unbeatable flavor combo in my opinion)“

“I missed out on the YES event here, but I thought I'd give them a try. I DID NOT regret it. The staff was awesome, and the food was as well. Mentioned that we missed the event, and they gave us a bag that was given out at the event and an Ube Horchatta. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. They're located inside Palama Market in Waimalu. Parking is tight but well worth the wait.“
“My sister has been living on Oahu for 13 years now and I can't believe out of all the times I've visited, I've never tried huli huli chicken from anywhere. Well, I finally got to try it on this trip. We came by on a Sunday at 11 and there was no line. We were doing our own North Shore food crawl, so we got half a chicken to share with everyone. The chicken was so tender and flavorful - even the white meat. Even my niece, who doesn't really eat chicken, liked it. It's also kind of fun watching them cook all the chicken.I'm so happy to have found this place and will definitely be back for my next visit to the island.“

“Delicious and nutritious!! This is Thai-authentic cuisine as it can get. All the level of spiciness you like or non. You must try the energizing lemon juice. Jamieson and Pauline took my order and prepared our meal just in time. You must try this Thai Shack!! Parking available. This restaurant location is near Pear Harbor Hickam Base, near the Arizona Memorial, close to H201, H-1, and H-3 Hwy.“
“I wonder why they serve human food but have the name “fish food”? hm, the world may never know. anywho, i had the spicy ahi bowl (?) that came with rice, some fish, and 2 pieces of gyoza with sauce. the fish was good and had the spiciness of a 3.5 on the caucasian scale of spicy; has a little kick but won’t make you cry out for jésus or anything. the convenience of having poke on base was amazing but the portion size was not! $15 or so for a small bento sized meal is a little pricey as poke bowls at foodland are about $5 cheaper and they give you more fish and rice as well.For the size of fish food hawaiis spicy ahi, i have attached a pic to show the size with an ice breakers ice cube gum for a scale (didn’t have banana for scale)“
“Delicious hot poi mochi. I went to the poi mochi food truck. The service was quick and it was pretty affordable. A dozen poi mochi for only 10 dollars. Quite delicious. I ordered poi mochi with haupia drizzle because the poi drizzle ran out. It was amazing. Hot, fresh, made to order.“

“I always smell this place and see people eating it outside of the NEX, I was intrigued. I decided to stop for lunch one day while I was running errands anyway. I got the 3 meat plate so I could try everything and I got it with Mac Salad. Service was fast, he packed my plate in no time. Everything had great flavor and tasted pretty good. The Mac salad wasn't terrible, just didn't have much flavor for me personally. Worth the money at least!“
