    Combo plate with shrimp and fish. I already ate some:) Great portion.

    Delicious! Really fresh tasting fish and shrimp. I could use a touch more salt/flavor, but I always feel that way ha. Sauces were great and Mac salad was good too. Friendly service.

    Korean Chicken Plate
    Emmanuel R.

    After a long ride doing the "Road to Hāna" guide, we stopped here to look around at the food trucks. After debating what to get, I stopped by here. The look of the truck was distinct from the rest, this one was all black, while others had colors to it. After eating poke the previous day, I was craving some chicken. What caught my attention of the Korean chicken, and that it had the house made sauce, which I love to try out a restaurant's unique food/food item. Ordered it, took a few minutes, and got the food out. The plate came with a scoop of rice, macaroni salad, chicken, sauce, and rice under the chicken to soak up the sauce. It was the best food I've had here during my vacation. The chicken was crispy but not dry, the sauce complimented it, while not overpowering the flavor of the chicken. The macaroni salad and rice were delicious. I couldn't finish it all, so I took the rest to go. Even after a few hours and it being cold, the chicken was still crispy and tasty. For the price of $20, it was a definitely worth it for the taste and the amount that you get. If I ever come back to Hāna, I am definitely going to return here.

    Shrimp and ahi tuna poke
    Khadij A.

    Reasonably priced, easy for two people to share. Food truck located in a park with several other food trucks around. I felt the portion sizes were good enough, but could've used a little bit more rice to eat with the plentiful tuna they gave. They do take credit card without fee Unfortunately no service or Wi-Fi available. Some of the other food trucks in the area charge for credit card use or require cash. They also don't have any water except bottled water for purchase. I suppose are capitalizing on the heat and lack of other resources in the area. The other downside was there a lot of flies and bugs around the tables meant for eating so it was not an enjoyable experience to eat outside and we took our food back to the car.

    Shrimp and chicken combo plate

    Really good. Stopped here after 4pm on a Sunday, so glad that there were still some food options available. They were out of the lau lau pork, which I was sad about but the panko shrimp and Korean chicken were good. The dipping sauce was a sweet chili which was good. Some of the rice was on the soggy side but I liked the Mac salad a lot --not too heavy. Really big portion, and came out pretty quick.

    Korean chicken

    SHOCKED by how good this was! Their Korean chicken is really hard to beat, one of my favorite stops in Maui, and happens to be in one of the smallest towns. Can't recommend enough!

    Korean chicken , panko fish
    Jessica H.

    Korean chicken and Panko breaded fish is a must! The lady who took our order was very friendly and helpful. I am so glad we stopped at this truck on our route, best food so far this trip

    The best of the trucks!

    Took a guided tour of the road to Hanna and was told that there would be a variety of food trucks to sample for lunch. So the expectation was standard average tourist fare on a food truck. Captain Sam's had several fresh options. My wife had the fish and chips fresh catch of the day perfectly battered and fried with very light and crispy. French fries. The perfect lunch. I opted to have my first taste of authentic lau-lau, which is pork wrapped in tarot leaves. And paired that in a combination plate with some Korean style chicken. Everything was phenomenal. Amazingly fresh, tasty and no doubt made with love. When you find yourself on the road to Hana, you need to stop at Captain Sam's.

    Tuna Poke
    Angelique C.

    Perfect bite to eat along the Hana Highway. My family got 2 of the tuna poke bowls and it was delicious! The workers also answered my questions about the food, and overall enjoyed my meal :)

    Smoked Pork

    Seriously the most delicious pork we have ever tasted! The smoked pork was BOMB and the pulled pork had a delicious flavor. Large meat portions with rice and macaroni salad. We were full and happy after the long drive to Hana... highly recommend!

    Spicy Ahi won tong nachos they were winners

    Captain Sams (Yes he really is Boat Captain and Fisherman) food truck with its distinctive Black and Sliver color combination Serves some really great food. I had the Spicy Ahi Poke Wanton Nachos they must try. My partner had the Pork Lau Lau she said it was very tender and tasty. Today Ms Katie Ann was take orders and making menu suggestions. For about five dollars extra you could make your lunch order a combo platter. Its good way to sample some of the local flavors. Captain Sam's not only provides great food, but it represents a younger group of local entrepreneurs that wanna provide a living for themselves to stay in Hana in raise families and I'm so happy to support them.

    It's huge portions of yummy good ...  fish   Chicken,pork and local favorite "Ahi Poke Nachos... Happy eats yall!!!!

    We were so excited to eat at Joel's food truck once we reached Hana, and the food did not…read moredisappoint. We ordered the Loco Moco, and it was absolutely delicious. Two perfectly cooked eggs with that runny yoke, two hamburger patties, onion, rice, and a generous portion of gravy. All of that combined made a great lunch. If you're not starving, then there's enough to share for two. One of the best Loco Mocos we had on our trip. They're located in an area with multiple little food trucks, and they have plenty of tables in the middle to enjoy your food. There's a little parking lot nearby - we didn't have any problems finding a place to park. Their hours are not necessarily on a timetable - I don't think they opened until an hour after what they said online. But if you can make it while they're open, then it is totally worth it.

    So we took the road to Hana. Yeah, that road. And boy does it ever create and appetite. We we…read morestumbled onto was a food truck spot where you have literally 6-7 different options all selling the local flair and flavor. Both the wife and I decided on Joel's and for once we both decided on the same dish. With a quick order, we were spending some time finding a seat, and looking at some of the other vendors who are also here at the trucks. This is a great and casual place to get your food on. There are a couple of other places that you can go, but the food to choose from here at least for me is just too hard to beat. When we got our food, we were happy it's the portions of both the teriyaki beef and the garlic shrimp. I would suggest that if you get the garlic shrimp, that you have anyone else whom you plan on talking to or being closer than 2 feet from you also eat the garlic shrimp. These things are delicious but will keep vampires away for quite a while. Simply put this is a great stop to get your quick food on, easily eat in 10-15 mins and you can be on the road in 30 mins or less if your in a hurry, or like us, just soak in that glorious weather and have a great meal. The portion size was appropriate and the price is typical of what you will find on the island and keep in mind that you are also in Hana so just keep that in mind. No dollar menus here!! You find yourself on the road to Hana, stop in at the food truck area and stop and Joel's. You wont be sorry.

Be sure to watch for the sign as you approach - we drove by the first time and came back to make it into the parking lot. The person taking orders was helpful and warned us right away that they were out of curry. The person who makes it measures from her heart, won't share her recipe, and was out shopping. We shared the fried rice with chicken and some spring rolls. It was all so delicious, and fun to sit on the deck and watch the road and town while relaxing after the crazy road. My real praise starts a couple hours later. As we made it to our next stop, I remember that I had never taken my bag off the back of the chair back at the restaurant! I called as soon as we had a phone signal again, and the gentleman who answered the phone assured me right away that he'd seen it and was keeping it safe. I told him we'd be back for it the next day, and he told me what time he'd be there. Luckily for me, hubs drove back alone the next day (he loves the road, and it's more fun for him without me panicking from the passenger seat). The man at the restaurant said he'd tried to get our attention as we left, and again when we drove by after visiting the shore! I was so grateful to have my stuff back, and be able to board our plane the next day with my id. P.S. - the food and service was 5 stars even if they hadn't helped with my mix up later!

Easy to split, best spring rolls in my life. Outside seating , actually came by golf cart from the resort and walked back. There is a wait , very popular. Totally worth it.
