    Okonomiyaki Fries
    Irene M.

    Keeping your eyes on the "fries" by Celine's Best is really the winner! Since I haven't been to the new location for the Ono Grindz & Makeke at the Kroc Center Hawaii on Sundays twice monthly I finally found a moment for me to take that time to give them a visit and arrived there bright and early which worked out for the best as there was literally no wait. A short wait for my freshly made fries gave me the moment to create a page for them as I was just so surprised there wasn't any available though I've already enjoyed them at various locations and knew instantly brunch fries fest has begun. With eight choices of toppings (Cheesy Bacon, Chili Cheese, Spicy Chorizo, Kalua Pork, Okonomiyaki, Teri Mayo, Poutine and Cheese) it's certainly not easy but my love is so strong with Okonomiyaki...yup I got it again lol!! Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake depending on the region is done differently though ingredients are all the same and taken the topping of this pancake (Japanese Mayo, Tonkatsu sauce, Furikake and Bonito flakes) and placing it on fries is a taste buds heaven! Not only they do fries but Waffle dogs (Plain, Okonomiyaki Teri Mayo, Cheesy Bacon or Chili Cheese) which I'm so trying the next time...hmmm or maybe their Nachos (Chili Cheese, Spicy Chorizo or Kalua Pork)...gah! I guess it'll be whatever my hangry cravings is at the moment lol! Time fries when you happy and Celine's Best does that and more! Thank you!

    We just came from a festival and they were one of the vendors. First is their menu. If it says hot dog then you should be able to order a regular hot dog but when you do, it's like they have no idea what you're talking about. They only sell waffle dogs even though the menu says hot dog. The person before me ordered something that didn't show cheese on the picture, but when she got it, it was slobbered with cheese, she tried to ask the cashier about it and he said "oh yeah" sorry. So much for customer service. The most disappointing is the very small portions attached to the very ridiculously inflated prices. A regular French fries just nothing on it was $10.83!!! It was insane how little they gave and how expensive they charged. To top it off, the food was a 2 at best out of 10. I would definitely skip this food truck and order somewhere else. You'll feel sick after you spent so much and feel so unsatisfied with mediocre food.

    I was in such disbelief I didn't even take a picture of my food. I ordered one thing from these two ladies working. ONE THING. Chili cheese fries. Nacho cheese from a can, chili from a can and frozen fries for $16.19?!?!?) you gotta be out of your fucking mind. It wasn't a big portion either it was like a handful of fries in one of those mini clamshell containers. I've never felt more ripped off in my whole life. Unless we want to eat the most terrible fries, smallest portion and pay some big money, don't get food from here. Also they have ZERO menu prices which is so deceiving! No sizes of anything. Shame on you! Pictures of menu items are also not anything like what they serve. 0/10 I would ask for a refund but I never want to go back to one of those harbor nights after getting so badly ripped off

    False advertising, basically paid $30 for two small bags of doritos chips. Don't get this anywhere!! Pictures are false and misleading.

    Street food was okay. Didn't use fresh ingredients, which would have been okay if they didn't charge so much.

    Not worth the price. The waffle dog & fries were soggy after sitting for only a couple of minutes.

    Dave is the Bartender/Manager here. Excellent service! Super friendly quick on the pour, and eager…read moreto please! They just started opening up for lunch time about a month ago - something they haven't done before, and people have been attending! Sheva (Seven) - was my bartender today - very friendly super engaging and always quick to entertain with fun trivia facts! Beer prices are fairly priced, see the pics I posted to see everything. No price gauging on wine AT ALL!! (Other places charge $15 for a chardonnay, and vary the prices of the wine depending on the type; now granted if they going higher end and longer age in a barrel I can understand - but for a bottle cali wine you can get @ Target for the same brand at $15 - ya know there are some mark ups!) Anyhoooo.... Let's talk the food: belly so happy taking leftovers home! Alright so Step 1: Choice of protein: fish, beef, chicken, tofu, vegetables. I asked for half chicken & half vegetable combo (they were EXTREMELY accomodating on that request)!!!!! Step 2: Pick yer sauce! They have 5 main sauces, pic enclosed. I went with the Spicy Teri Garlic! (trust me foodies it fiiiiiire! Step 3/Final Step: Choose da sides (again on the menu pic) I went for the combo - salad, rice, and potato/mac salad! Now for specialty drinks: Their Bloody Harry (a unique Bloody Mary) is completely worth it! Uses a unique homemade infused vodka that hands down you will NOT find anywhere else on island! Glass is rimmed with salt AND peppercorns, again another unique feature to this beverage! There is also a new beverage called Wonka Lada, which looks very much like something you'd see out of Willy Wonka's factory and/or if you really geeking out making comparisons to Monster's Inc! And others have compared it to something out of Warcraft, I can't say anyone is wrong! Smoothy style especially for those needing a nice cold fix! Li ing mui on the rim. Gives all the piña colada vibes with a strong hit of ube! This is one of those that hits you afterward!!!! Great vibe there are tables all around and even a small hot tub/pool area to give more to the atmosphere look! So don't complain if plastic cups are used because hotel has a no glass policy around the pool. This establishment has been here since last November. And don't think yer gonna get bored sitting here! Bar top is really solid hard wood!! There are all sorts of decor that each time you come here it almost a game of find this item! Tribal masks from Africa, Traditional tiki faces, bonsai trees, Hula instruments, saddles, tapa style roofing, beware the lobsters running amuck! Hmmm maybe a promotion needs to be done where what item is new hiding amongst all the decor for a special prize or something? And yes for you folks who are die hard sports fans - there are 2 televisions - everything comes from streaming services - so treat them nicely with yer tips and maybe they can get more power to more of what u wanna see! (hint hint hint) Overall this place is a huuuge 100/10! So bring tyler gang here! Oh in case u asked the bar is inside the Bamboo resort (fun fact this building been here for 100 years!)! And don't worry super close to the bus lines so for those who need an extra lift yer covered! (unless you ubered or lyfted or drove, rode yer own bike/scooter/skateboard or did yer own two feet here! Yes your mouths and eyes are watering to get over here! So easy way to know yer in the right spot is to see the vintage Yellow Woody sitting out front! Just please don't climb in it for photo ops - that would really make everyone sad. Yes Yelpers I "will be back"! Enjoy and help support these local folks running the place!

    Hawaiian garlic shrimp is a iconic local dish, not technically traditional Hawaiian food, featuring…read moreshell-on shrimp tossed in a pungent garlic-butter sauce, heavily popularized by North Shore, Oahu food trucks since the mid-1970s. With the recent flood happening at the end of March, and our trip being in early April, going to North Shore wasn't advised. While we have some great Hawaiian garlic shrimp spots in Arizona, we had to at least try to get some garlic shrimp while on Oahu. We gave this place a try just because we were already in the building. It wasn't a choice we made prior because honestly, I would have suggested trying a more well-known spot like two miles away, haha! We shared a $14 Shrimp with Original Garlic sauce on it and made it a combo with rice, a scoop of potato mac salad, and regular salad, $14 + $6. Sam's Kitchen was okay. I would have loved to have the shell-on but this place does not offer shell-on shrimp. Still, they make a decent garlic shrimp.

    Elote at the Kapiolani Community College (KCC) Farmers' Market…read more.. Elote is Grilled Mexican Street corn. I learned about it from my Yelp friends in Los Angeles! When I was strolling through the KCC Farmers'Market, I spotted the word "elote". I haven't had it in many years, so, I went for a closer look! Service is very friendly and helpful. I was given a package with handles for my purchase from another vendor because I was juggling the handleless bag! How observant! I wanted the Furikake elote... Then, the Hurricane popcorn elote sounded good... I finally decided on the Avocado and Bacon elote - in a cup, please! The corn on the cob is kinda messy and the toppings would fall off! Elote in a cup has some butter and cheese, so, take those lactaid pills if you need them! Overall, one of the better vendors at the KCC Farmers' Market. There's free parking! Go early to avoid the crowds and the heat from the sun!

    Well, DAMN, this is some bomb elote…read more I stumbled upon Aloha Elote's KCC farmers market pop-up, and one of my best friends, who was with me, was like- DUDE, you need to get this- so we ended up getting two cups: *original elote ($7): coated in butter, sour cream, and assorted spices, and topped with cilantro and lime, this was HEAVENLY. *avocado and bacon elote ($8): also chef's kiss. The difference is in the spices used in Aloha Elote's corn seasoning mix, as well as the fact that they use sweet Kahuku corn. Thank you to Aloha Elote for a corn-tastic day!

    FINALLY got to try their pork hash at the monthly "What the Truck?" Event in Waikele (parking lot…read morewith the old K Mart closer to the freeway). They sold these bad boys in a pack of 12 (no other option - not sure if it's just for the event) and it comes with dipping sauce. Not sure what's in the sauce, pretty sure it's shoyu and possibly sriracha or gochujang (chili paste) it's got a nice little kick. I don't always get to travel to the speciality places for pork hash but these are worth the price. They're meatball sized and super flavorful and delicious. I highly recommend checking them out!

    They make only one thing, really great local style porkhash…read more Golf ball sized, a mix of coarse and finely ground pork simply seasoned with salt, white pepper and a touch of sugar. This is neither the consistency of flavor of what you'd find in Chinatown. Juicy with a springy texture wrapped in a thicker, chewy, skin. A local style sauce (soy, vinegar, chili pepper water) accompanies the tasty, porky balls of goodness that brings out even more porky sweetness. Sold by the dozen at What the Truck 2 (third Friday of each month in Waikele). As part of the "manapua man special" from Str'Eats of Aloha (Sand Island Access Road) or fresh, frozen or in party platters direct at a lower price (follow on IG and DM for orders). Extremely friendly service at What the Truck 2. Worth seeking out if you miss the old school, local style porkhash.

Staff treated myself and my other half as if we were regulars and took the time to explain each entree if we had any questions!
