    THE Burmese Tea Salad
    Aimee C.

    Say this with me, "Burmese Tea Salad, please." You can thank me later for this unexpected party in your mouth. Yan and Mala (owners) who are gems of humans, if you ask me, own this GEM of a food truck. Only (currently) open on Tuesdays in town, so make sure you get to town for lunch on Tuesdays. I know that I do! Tuesdays are split between the Ala Moana area behind First Hawaiian and Kaka'ako. I had found Aloha Burma on IG, but found it difficult to catch up with them because they have limited hours. But, after serendipitously finding Yan and his truck at Bay View Market (every 3rd Wednesday of the month, I think), it was love at first sight. My tummy is thanking me and life on Tuesdays have never been the same. Prices are so affordable you'll have to do a double-take. Service is quick and so so so friendly that you'll feel like Yan is your best buddy. Every time I order I always get the Tea Salad - I am a nuts person so the fact that this salad is draped in nuts is ah-mazing. I have gotten other things like the Beef Masala and the Lemongrass Coconut Tapioca with Lilikoi Sauce and every time Aloha Burma's food hits. It's THAT good. I know BIG things are coming for these lovely humans, so it won't be long until their lines will be down the street every Tuesday. Highly recommend if you've never had Burmese food or if you have cravings for B-Star from SF, Aloha Burma is the spot! Cheers to Yan & Mala!

    So happy this food truck is near my Kaka'ako office every other Tuesday! Both times I've encountered it on the same side of the street at Fisher's, on my way to another foodie destination. Both times I was waylaid by their intriguing menu of Burmese dishes and was I happy I did! The first time I had their Salmon Laksa with rice and roasted veggies. I don't even like cauliflower but I polished off everything on that bento, including the substantial piece of salmon and fragrant jasmine rice. They took a break over the holidays and so I was excited to see they were back this week. This time I went for their Beef Masala with Burma Rice and Roasted Veggies - could not believe how much food you get for $15, I ended up eating half for lunch and saving the rest for dinner. The beef was super tender, the rice as fragrant and fresh as the last time, as were the veggies. Cannot wait for their next visit 2 weeks from now - follow them on Instagram for updates!

    This food truck is truly a hidden gem! It's a blue truck you can't miss usually parked around Don quijote or in kakaako. Service is wonderful and friendly! You need to follow on Instagram to find out where this food truck will be. The location does vary, but the owner is responsive. You can also preorder on IG. I love all the dishes I've tried so far! Nothing has disappointment. I always get the tea salad, samusa, and a main dish. I loved his fried noodles with chicken, and laksa noodle dish! He's only open on Tuesday from 11-1ish or sold out. I wish he was available on weekends, but if you contact the owner he can make special orders or cater. I always try to make my way to the truck when I get the chance! This is a must try plate lunch truck!

    I've been here a couple of times. Ordered in advance via IG DM then picked up. The people who work here are very nice. Food is good. My favorites so far are the beef masala and tea salad.

    Slow cooked BBQ Ribs with honey tamarind pineapple sauce

    The most amazing husband and wife duo cheffin' up Burmese cuisine. They combine the perfect pairings of tender proteins, flavorful sauces, delicious veggies and rice. Not only that, they offer plenty of vegetarian options, accommodating everyone. They always welcome with a smile, exuding their passion and love for their expertise with this craft. They constantly innovate their menu, giving you a different food expedition that takes you on a brand new journey every time. When in doubt, Aloha Burma is always a good idea!

My friend told me there was a great place in Waialua, so we drove straight over. Because it was a Saturday, we were going to place an online order and pick up to take home, but for some reason they were not accepting orders. When we arrived around 12:45 we were surprised to see lots of seating options, so we just chose to stay and eat.

We demolished it, 10/10 chips and guac! We waited about 20 minutes for the tacos to cook, fresh out the kitchen they were very yummy.

The…read morefirst thing that took me off that was the parking situation there we had to pay two dollars to park our car to get the food although it was just quick and quick out kind of a parking lot situation there. Second part was the staff was extremely uncommunicative. I understand they're running a big business a lot of customers, but they're just taking the orders. Daughters were not coming in the right order. The folks who came after me got their orders. We didn't get the kind of order that we asked for even though we mentioned what we want how we want it was super rainy muddy they didn't care to do any arrangements for the customers to be comfortable the path was so slippery that I saw many people fall down in rain. I know it's a great experience to be around that area to have food on the food truck, but safety is another main concern that every business owner should consider looking into I ordered the spicy and hot shrimp. I can take more spice, but there wasn't any flour. I failed. The shrimp was undercooked and the rice was extremely mushy. Looks like it was left in water for a while to become that way if the name is carrying the weight of the business, I expect the quality to follow as well. No wonder the ratings of this specific location is lower than the other one. And that experience of ambience was. Unhealthy and untidy.

Unfortunately I should have had more patience. First off my friend tried to ask for the garlic butter ahi plate and the cashier said the ahi would take 30 minutes, but then the person in the kitchen corrected them and said it would actually take only 15 minutes because it would be fresh. So he tried to go down the line and pick something else from the specials but they were all ahi. And unfortunately he's allergic to shrimp so he couldn't choose the shrimp plates but honestly it's probably for the better. The garlic shrimp was mid. And even worst the rice was soggy almost as if I made it (and I don't make good rice). Also the salad was discolored and lacked freshness. The shrimps were also tiny af. Luckily, for my friend, however his plate ended up only taking about 10 minutes, which is good. But he wasn't too pleased with his meal either. Both our rices tasted almost spoiled in a way, my friend said it felt and tasted like it wasn't fresh as if it was made yesterday. And I was needing a napkin, my friend went to get me one, and came back saying how they emphasize to just "take one" napkin. Which I can understand to a certain point, but he got the impression she really didn't want him to take more than just one. Which is pretty silly cause when you're eating garlic shrimp it gets really messy. The only good thing about this place is that it has a beautiful view of the water and they were playing the Beatles and we're in Hawaii. But if I were you, I'd totally pass this tourist trap, and head elsewhere. This place claims to have the best fish plates but they lack TLC and quality food. Honestly probably the worst meal I've had of the year. I was ready to finish my meal. My friend and I both agreed this place lacked a bit of aloha.

All the wonders of spicy hippo, but fully cooked, which was very nice for me. As with any plate lunch place, I wish they had more vegetables in their plate to reflect the recommended vegetable intake, which is half of the plate, but that's for any takeout.

It's a little hidden gem located just before you turn into the Kahuku food truck pod. Go slow because you'll miss it.

Comes hot topped with ice cream, fresh banana slices, chocolate and strawberry syrup and whipped cream and powdered sugar. Whoa! It's pretty big so get ito share. If you can't decide there's another option where you can get 3 smaller ones with different toppings like cinnamon. But no mess around - just get the Fully Loaded. The funnel cake wasn't soaked in grease but nice and light with a perfect crunch. We sat at one of the 2 red picnic tables and devoured it in less than 10 minutes .
