5/5 kalbi - large portion of short ribs, flavor is on point. Sometimes you order these at places and its too much fat. Thats not an issue here, so much meat!

5/5 kimchi - it was at my favorite ripeness level and great flavor

2/5 mac salad - too sweet for me

4/5 egg rolls

5/5 musubi - it was huge!

The lady who works or owns this food truck is such a sweet person, so bright, and a joy to talk to. I will be back!!

Hawaii Nei (meaning Beloved Hawaii) is now only serving food to Tesla and Texas State U. How many Hawaiians are in these two places? Auwe!! No can li dat. Thanks for selling out. I know you gotta make money but seriously?!? Never recommending you to anyone EVER!

If you are looking for Hawaiian food this trailer does a good job the poke is pretty good for being in the middle of Texas and it’s pretty authentic and the Kalua pork is good.

This place was absolutely incredible! The lady working when we ordered was so nice and friendly. The kalua pork was phenomenal— juicy, flavorful, and the texture was PERFECT. The spam musubi was standard and pretty tasty. The Kimchi fried rice was amazing. I’d never had it before, so I was pleasantly surprised. My partner had the loco moco, and LOVED it. Mac salad was also bangin’. Overall the price was really good for all of the yummy food we got. Definitely 1000/10 recommend y'all give it a try. ??

Got a poke bowl to go. It was just okay. Since it was covered, the hot rice ended up cooking the poke, which changed the taste and texture. Might have been better eaten fresh.

The owner is the nicest lady ever! The food is a 10/10. I have loved everything I had. The Kalua pork is a must, and I always love getting a musubi. One of my favorite spots in Austin!

Not open on Wednesday at 1:59pm today.Food truck totally closed, no signage. I'm not wasting time on businesses that post outdated hours and have the establishment closed. Good thing I didn't order online and get stuck with a order in limbo.

Love the customer service here! The staff is super sweet and always helpful. The food is amazing, especially the poke which is full of flavor and very filling. The musubi is also fresh and delicious.
