“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”

“Hey gotta say I really enjoyed my butter garlic shrimp ramen!! Bok choy, bean sprouts, lotsa egg and even Kim chee!! And the shrimp was yummy! 🤤😋”

“Stopped in whilst shopping, had the 4 piece chicken with honey / chipolyte sauce which was a little sickly for me but overall amazing, very reasonable price for the size of the plate.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 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…”

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

“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!”

“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?”

“I had kimchi stew and pork belly and it was really delicious! The ribs were especially soy sauce-based, perfect for Korean tastes😆 And the portions were really, really big! For those of you who are in the news, please order one to share.. The unfortunate thing is that eating outdoors can make you food for mosquitoes..ㅠㅠ Everything else was good!!”

“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.”

“Always great tasting fresh food and they change their specials every day plus large portions make my opu really happy every time I stop by! Totally recommend this place! 🤙🏼”

“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.”

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!”

“We had stumbled on Camille's Restaurant and we fell in love with the food and the owners. Recently our Mom passed away and immediately Camille's came to mind for the catering because their food feeds the soul...they cook from the heart and it translates into the flavors of the food. Everyone loved everything ...we had the Lau laus, kalua pig, BBQ chicken, and the smoked meat...everything was cooked and packed with so much love and care it was touching and it overwhelmed our hearts!!! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!”

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

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

“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.”

“The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. Not a bad plate on the menu Glad we live around the corner.”

“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!”

“Really great food at great prices! A great neighborhood place to eat at or to grab a smoothie or milk tea! 😉”

“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!”

“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”

“I enjoyed the tteokbokki and kimbokki. The food was great and there was a lot of it!! However, since you have to eat outdoors, you can become mosquito food..😔”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“I have lived in Northern Thailand for over 15 years and my husband is Thai, so I feel its safe to say I have tasted some amazing Thai food over the years. Thai Village ranks right up there with the best of the best. The Larb Pork tastes just as my favorite street vendor made for me in Mae Hong Son province. Staff are friendly and the food is AMAZING. I definitely recommend it.”

“Auntie was so thoughtful of our kids, super sweet and generous with the ginger! We've ordered delivery a few times, but I'm happy to know that going in is a great experience too.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space and a friendly atmosphere make this place great for kids. There are also little cartoon strips along the windows for kids to look at while they wait.”

“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!!!!!!! ?????????????????????????”

“👍🏽 thumbs up for this place. I love how it’s strategically located close or walking distance from home.”

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

“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?”

“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.”

“very good food, authentic ilocano food”

“Thank you Josie! Your lumpia was so delicious and you my dear were so sweet an cousin too! We will definitely be back again! 😘”

“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.”

“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!!! ?”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”

“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”

“Hands down best food we had on Oahu. Fresh, beautiful, balanced flavors and unique menu options. We’ll be back for sure!”

“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!”

“probably the best valued, most consistent boba place, no crazy new fancy drinks, just good milk tea 🤙”

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

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“clean foods.. affordable”

“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!”

“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.”

“I like their chicken wings/drums adobo. And the pinakbet is good too. Lastly, Empanadas 😀”

“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.”

“place was clean. staff were nice!”

“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. :)”

“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!!!”

“So happy that you're open...awesome food..husband tried it for the 1st time today...he said hands down the best... Love the tacos♥️👍 We'll be back 😎”

“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 👍”

“App is getting better..wish points would not expire. I actually spend less because I don't want to get alot of points and not be able to use them. It hurts when they expire.”

“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 :)”

“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.”
