We were so excited to eat at Joel's food truck once we reached Hana, and the food did not disappoint. 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. read more

So we took the road to Hana. Yeah, that road. And boy does it ever create and appetite. We we stumbled 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. read more

Amidst the nearby food trucks, we were pulled in by their relatively cheaper loco moco. Thankfully we made in time at 4:30PM as their last order. Their times appeared variable as they closed the kitchen when they ran out of ingredients. The owner talked to us tersely and kept saying that he couldn't hear us and that he only had so much food left that he could give us. This was reflected in their lack of mac salad which was replaced by salad and corn. Food took about 15 minutes to complete and we took claim to a nearby picnic table while we waited. =ORDERED= They also had a small selection of condiments near the front of the truck. Sriracha, soy sauce and mustard were amongst the few. *Loco Moco: two patties and two eggs on a bed of rice coated in gravy. The patties were more well done than preferred but they were still hearty. The eggs were cooked perfectly and were buttery. Beautifully golden and gooey. The rice was on the softer side with I preferred. Gravy was average and mild tasting. Overall the loco moco was on par if not better than the other ones in the area. Notably the price was cheaper so I would stop by here if they're open. Customer service could use some work but at least the food quality was good. read more

Incredible food and super friendly service! We stopped by after a hike and it was exactly what we needed. The garlic shrimp and beef plate was flavorful and tender, and the sides were perfect. We also had the loco moco rich gravy, runny eggs, and so satisfying. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Chow's - Food Trucks Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

I have been waiting to review this place. I probably ate at 10 food trucks on Maui and Oahu on my trip and Joel's was hands down the best truck I visited. I hadn't read a review- no cell service and I was just hungry and they happened to be open. What a lucky coincidence! Here's what I had: Loco moco- best I had and I tried this dish at 4 different food trucks. Hands down, this dish melted my knees! Rice prepared perfect, that gravy-ohhh that gravy. The beef patty was seasoned to perfection! 5 of 5 stars! Garlic shrimp and steak- I expected good shrimp but what I got what next level flavor! Ever eat something and a little tear comes out of the corner of your eye because it's so good? Well call me a cry baby because this dish had me in happy tears. Visit this truck and enjoy my friends! read more

I absolutely LOVE food trucks, and as my first real dinner in Maui, I was very pleased with Joel's! Located in a small food truck stop area in Hana, Joel's was one of the options to choose from, and it features beef, chicken, and shrimp. I ordered the beef teriyaki and garlic chili shrimp combo and went to go sit at one of the tables in the middle (might want to bring your own sanitizer or more napkins since other folks eat there with nobody really cleaning those tables). The food was fantastic. The beef teriyaki was quite sweet, and the shrimp was a little more chili-forward than garlic, but what really got me were the sides. Enough rice to pair with the meats (way better than just a scoop or two like other places), addicting corn with hella butter, and some of the best mac salad I have had. The portions were pretty nice, and I ended up taking a little bit back to the hotel to eat later. Overall very convenient being in Hana, a great and filling meal, and a nice way to kick off my stay in Maui! read more

Chow's - Teriyaki beef and garlic shrimp combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

Stopped by here while we were In Hana. It was the only food truck open at the time we were there. So we decided to go for it. Super nice and kind staff members. We ordered the garlic shrimp platter and the classic loco moco. The garlic shrimp was good, very fresh shrimp and cooked perfectly. Lots of flavor too. There was something about the white rice it was on too, I just kept eating! It was our first time having the loco moco. My husband enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm usually not a fan of gravy so I didn't have much of it. But it tasted pretty good in my opinoin. Great place to get plate lunch if you're in Hana! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I had the coconut ono and chili shrimp with rice and mac salad. Top 3 meals on the island. I wish I took a picture of it but before I thought of it I had already demolished the whole plate. It was fresh, super tasty, and prefect portion. I wanted to order more but I wanted to be able to try all more though out the day. 10/10 recommend read more

This food truck is located along the road to hana. I highly recommend stopping here for some Hawaiian food options! I got the teriyaki beef and garlic shrimp plate. It comes with rice and a macaroni salad. I thought the beef was pretty good and had lots of flavor. The shrimp was also good and flavorful. The wait time can get pretty long but I recommend stopping here along the road to Hana. At some point, you run out of food options so stopping here is a good idea! read more

Shrimp was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I can't have corn and they let me have double mac which was deliciousss especially with tabasco on top. The rice catches all the yummy shrimp marinade juices. We mixed in a little shoyu and it was perfect. Great rest stop on the road to Hana. read more

Stopped here for food on our way back from hiking to Waimoku Falls...we were hungry and love a good food truck! The garlic shrimp and was really good! The corn and Mac salad were also great! We would definitely stop here again for the shrimp. (Joel's Chow Wagon is in the 2nd food truck park on your way through Hana towards Wailua Falls.) read more

Highly recommend the garlic shrimp plate lunch - the shrimp are delicious and Joel gives you much more food then you will receive at the neighboring food trucks. read more

Whenever I'm in Hana I come to chows. Ono did and great service. I usually get a hamburger steak plate rice hamburger patties with brown gravy and mac salad. Last time I was there there was a cute dog outside the truck he was so good he didn't even bother us while we waited with my dog tho. Service was fast and friendly. Served with aloha. Will try something different next time im there. read more

Well, Braddah's / Huli Huli were both closed. Pranee's reviews on mosquitos scared me, so...here we are. A-Ok! Pros: Korean Chicken Friendly service Cons: Beef teriyaki Overall, too salty for me. I prefer light on the salt and sauces. I did a half/half, but you're better off with the Korean Chicken. $10-$13 if I recall. Nothing special here. Checked off my list and done. read more

Chow's - Shrimp @ Teri beef combo! Absolutely delicious. - Food Trucks Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

Chow's is one of the few food trucks located off the Road to Hana. I decided to stop here because there aren't very many food places. I ordered the garlic shrimp plate which came with rice, corn, and macaroni salad. Nothing really stood out. There wasn't enough garlic in the shrimp. This is probably because I've had Giovanni's in Oahu and Geste in Maui. Staff is very friendly. I'd only possibly come back when I'm driving the Road to Hana. read more

Chow's - Garlic Shrimp plate - Food Trucks Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

I gave Joel's a 4 star rating. Reason is, is because they do not have Thier own tent and set of tables and chairs. We had to sit in front of another food truck. BUT!!! I must say the Korean chicken is the best Korean chicken I ever ate on Maui! Yes these guys are only located in Hana but this plate will make me want to to go back plus visit family. The Garlic Shrimp was little bit on the sweet side but the spicy was good. If it weren't sweet then I think I'd eat it again cause that garlicky buttery oil on the rice would be bomb!! Roast Pork was very good and tender. I love it when the fat edges was a little bit fried or crisp. Gave it the home cooking look. Worth our drive and what is locals call, kanak attack! read more

My new year was spent in Hana camping, and if you know anything about me you know I'm not well versed in the realms of roughing it. Sooo naturally I didn't pack nearly enough food. Chow's was the one place that totally saved my butt, being that finding places to eat in Hana on a budget can be extremely unpredictable. One morning my man and I split a Loco Moco, and holy ono it was. Dare I even say the b e s t we have ever had?? On our last night in Hana we were sure to stop at Chow's before they closed at 4pm. I ordered the Korean Chicken (HELLA BOMB) with my man ordering his go-to Teri Beef Plate. What really wowed me about Chow's, besides the incredible food, was their customer service. The young man and woman running the truck were so sweet. They chatted with us and asked all about our traveling adventures. But what put them over the fricken top, was that a couple came flying into the parking lot (after 4) in dire search of food. Being my nosey self, I obviously listened in . The two working in the food truck were more than happy to serve this couple, despite the fact that they had closed 15 minutes prior. THAT, people, is the definition of aloha. They didn't make the people feel as if they were an inconvenience at all, they were more than happy to accommodate. We need more Chow's in our lives. Thank you, for setting a standard for other food trucks & restaurants! We appreciate you. read more

After a half day in the car driving through Hana Highway, we were all quite hungry. Honestly, we found Chow Wagon by accident since we originally wanted to get local organic fruits from the fruit stand in front of Chow Wagon. After asking the workers at the fruit stand on where to have lunch, they recommended Chow Wagon, which was conveniently located behind them. This place is a mom and pop shop food truck making yummy food. The hubby and I had the two catch of the day specials, sauteed Ono and Mahi-Mahi with the lemon caper sauce! Both were delicious although the ono was a bit overcooked. The plate came with 2 scoops of rice, a choice of macaroni or tossed salad, and corn. The godfather resorted for the cheeseburger, and he said that it was quite good too. Please note that the godfather likes everything! Note that you can call in your order if you're in a rush. After lunch, our dessert was the fresh fruit from the fruit stand, so it was a memorable lunch in Hana. If you're in this part of paradise and you see a Chevron station, don't blink since you'll probably miss it. Check it out! read more

This is a super solid food truck, especially given the rather random location on the Road to Hana. Chow's is a food truck in a parking lot - not much else. It's got a few picnic tables outside, making it pretty convenient, but there isn't much fanciness to it. A fruit cart outside seems to be a permanent fixture, so you could also grab fruit here if you wanted. Prices are pretty cheap for Maui. We got the Teriyaki Beef and the Korean Chicken with rice and corn for sides. All were surprisingly good - the Teriyaki Beef was rather tender and nice, even though I'm admittedly not a huge fan of the dish. The Korean Chicken was like a weird yet tasty sort of General Tso's Chicken. Honestly, this was a great find - I'd recommend it for hungry travelers especially. read more

I can't rate anything except for the fact that the times are wrong. It says it closes at 4 but they were all shut down at 2. The food is supposed to be awesome though and I drove 7 hours for it. read more

Pics are from a year ago on our trip to Maui. So good that I remember it today. This man cooks like my mom who grew up from Hawaii cooks. It was nostalgic. Chow is super friendly and man is his food tasty. I remember that Korean fried chicken and loco moco like it was yesterday. The food was savory and a reward for the long drive to Hana. read more

On our drive to Hana, there wasn't many places to stop and eat. We didn't plan too well, we were starving and just happened to come across the Chow Wagon. The lady serving us was very friendly. The food was decent. Nothing spectacular, but very tasty and filling. We had Korean Chicken and Teriyaki beef. Both were tasty. It's the perfect food when you're at the beach and want to grab something quick. Inexpensive, tasty, and filling. A GREAT find for us! read more

Great place to stop and get a bite to eat. Ordered the teriyaki and shrimp plate. The guy taking the order and the lady that cooked the food were very friendly and gave us tips about road to Hana while my food was being cooked. I would recommend stopping by and getting something but for sharing so that you can try the many other food trucks. PS the Mac salad was pretty boom as well. read more

Chow's - Teriyaki shrimp plate - Food Trucks Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

We went there yesterday. I had the Roast pork w/gravy, three slim slices pork, two scoop rice, mac salad, corn for $10 It was Good. In comparison to Takamiya market bento. My friend had the Hamburger Steak w/gravy, two patties, two scoop rice, Mac salad and corn for $10 it was Good. In comparison to Cupie's...For the price it it the cheapest meal in Hana town. I could not finish my plate lunch. Oh! and I had a small order of Fries. I needed the salt intake after the walkabout. Crispy, salty good. As good as McDonald's. If your on a budget and want some filling meal. Try Chow's it's under new owners, from what we were told by a worker. They have 4 Sandwiches with fries on the menu and 6 Plate lunch means on the menu. Ranges from $9 - $13 read more

Delicious!! We drove the back road to Hana and ended up getting to the food truck cluster where Chow Wagon is around 5pm. Thankfully they were still open!! A couple things had already run out that day, but it didn't matter because we were starving and the plates we did get, the roast pork and Korean chicken, were so good. The owners were super nice, the lady had said the gravy on the pork was heavenly and she did not lie! I was also very pleasantly surprised by the Korean chicken, the pieces were pefect bite sizes and the right amount of sweet and crunchy. The mac salad and corn that were given as sides were really good too. Would recommend this place, glad we stumbled across it. read more

Highly recommend! I will definitely come back on another visit! Added bonus - had a celebrity sighting! read more

5 freaking stars for the Korean fried chicken plate. For $10 the chicken I ate was all the tasty delicious goodness of saucey garlic/korean chicken I have ever eaten BUT without the fat chunks. I imagine papa Chow squatting over a tub plucking the fat off chicken thighs meticulously night after night so that the chicken you eat is just what it should be: deep fried meat and not deep fried fat (which is usually some of what you get if you've ever gotten Fatboy's garlic chicken or are familiar with many of the kinds of asian fried chicken served in Hawaii). And I gotta mention that the sauce seeps onto the rice and its basically all you need in life after that drive. So while yes a place like Hana is a tourist trap and you will have to pay accordingly, the Korean fried chicken I ate here was definitely five stars. read more

Very kind woman who runs the food truck and its a plus that they accept credit cards, because there are a lot of places near by that dont. we had the beef sandwich and the ono that was grilled. the food was a bit salty for my taste and the corn was canned, but what do you expect when corn doesnt grow naturally in that area. Its a good plate lunch if you're on the go and its probably the only place around where you could get your quick burger and fries fix if that's what you're jonesing for. read more

My hubby and I were actually lookin for a breakfast spot but by the time we were out about town, all breakfast spots were closed. While we were lookin at the menu, we were greeted by a guy in the truck (super friendly) and "auntie". All of a sudden a cop pulled up and started talking to us about how great the food was. Even though we were in the mood for breakfast we decided to each get the cheeseburger. Let's just say, it was THE cheeseburger in "paradise". The burger patty itself was delicious! Organic, no preservatives, fresh! The fries were also yummy! Portion was huge, the hubby and I could have split one burger but opted to have one each. Budget friendly too. read more

We showed up about 2 minutes after closing, and they were kind enough to whip up a plate of fish of the day. Delicious! The cook made it a point to tell us when and where the ahi was caught--so fresh! We really appreciated the fact that they stayed open for us. We were the lucky ones, a group that showed up right after we did was turned away. You can't blame Chow's though--gotta draw a line somewhere. read more
