    Kewalo Basin Harbor Corner... Not official but I must give it a name as it seems this is the somewhat permanent fixture of the outdoorsy vibe with famous Kaka'ako Farmers Market every Saturday and now is the home to many food trucks. Crispy Grindz is not a newbie but is to the area on this part of the island and gosh what a welcome new flavors it brings. All things from Brazil including the familiar Açaí bowl and cheese bread by Nosh and something new to me "Pastels" dough stuffed with either savory or sweet fillings then fried in peanut oil nice and crispy I got the chicken special and this yummy goodness is stuffed with shredded chicken, spinach, cheese, tomatoes which is wrapped and fried golden all made fresh and isn't as heavy as what I thought I'd be...flavorful and just a nice perfect size for a snack. The ladies there are a delight and know this will be another convenient place to grab an açaí bowl as well as it's still blazing hot here while you can enjoy the harbor view. Thank you!

    The bread is hot and fresh! It tastes like fried mochi, cheese balls. Service is not bad and prompt. It's a food truck in the kakaako farmers market. There's seating in the pier. It was so good, we went back for 5 more lol definitely recommend!

    Love the Brazilian type food and snacks, they are located with plenty sitting spaces available for customers

    Açaí bowl with granola, bananas, blueberries, peanut butter and coconut added.

    All fresh and natural Açaí bowls... no added sugars. So delicious!! I added banana, strawberry, granola, and peanut butter. My daughter added blueberries, coconut, banana and peanut butter. They had so many choices of things to add. The açaí was made with açaí berries with a little fresh banana only. Best I've tasted!

    a bowl of fruit

    The best açaí you'll ever find. I learned about this place from my Brazilian friends. I figure if the Brazilians eat it, it must be legit. That's not the only thing that's good either, the coxinha is actionnnnn, too. I drive here from Kailua because I refuse to eat açaí bowls anywhere else already........tired of icy bowls that taste more like a smoothie. Besides all that, the owner is the nicest!!

    Service was great! Food came out fast and tasted fresh and amazing. Definitely coming back again. Praying blessings over this business!

    A night in Kaka'ako is always a fun place to explore, and just be entertained!…read more The Honolulu Night Market at Our Kaka'ako is indeed a fabulous adventure into the biggest street/block party filled to the brim with all things local...food, retail and culture. I've been to so many and each and every one is very unique where you can find either fashion runway stage, live street art, or even a dance night in the barn. I just love the vibe SALT and surrounding Our Kaka'ako brings with the vibrant art we're so blessed to have and this particular night (November 19th) there was actually much more shopping just perfect for the holidays and the party went further down to Ya-ya's. Tonight I was fortunate to have gone after work so I kept it short but found some awesome treats. Some straw toppers to add to my holiday gift giving and some cheesecake cups (OG, Strawberry and Cookie Butter) of course I got one of each to share...ate the Strawberry which of course omg was yummy!! Not too sweet as the Strawberries was just perfect as I tried to get an even scoop of it all in every bite. Walked further down and honestly wasn't in the mood to wait too long for anything found something that would just exactly work for me. Ya-Ya's Chophouse & Seafood and tonight they had two items - Steak Kebabs - Fat Fried Rice with TAB (aka Thick Ass Bacon lol!) I seriously wanted the fried rice but thought that the Steak Kebabs was more sensible for me personally and it came with two kebabs each fully loaded with steak, mushrooms, peppers and onions with a huge scoop of rice! So many options I really was considering including Henna from Henna Happens, Birria Tacos from Dolce Vita, Corn from Corn Onoz Hawaii but though there's always a next time yes!?! I remember pre-pandemic Yelp had a booth here and hoping as things return to normalcy that we'll see it back again one day (hint hint!) Absolutely love this Honolulu Night Market as it offers so many cultural coolness that you can't find anywhere else! Thank you!

    There were only about 4-5 food trucks when I visited, and it felt small. Around 6 PM, the area had…read morevery few people. There was some live music, but it seemed more like a quick stop for tourists rather than a real night market. I didn't try any food because the atmosphere wasn't appealing, so I left quickly.

    This place saved me from leaving the island with a bad taste for garlic shrimp after having a bad…read moreexperience at Famous Shrimp Truck. We ordered the garlic shrimp and kalbi ribs and it was all amazing! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and had amazing garlic seasoning on them. The kalbi ribs were tender and also had great flavor. I love this little truck. This is our second time having it and they were great both times.

    I'm hoping tonight was just an off night. I've had this garlic shrimp now 3x. I was so excited to…read morehave garlic shrimp again today but this was not the same spicy garlic shrimp I had the past couple times. This was more chipotle ish with maybe some sort of minced onion than the spicy garlic shrimp I had the past two times. I didn't eat here when it was Angry shrimp because they mixed onion and mushrooms with shrimp or something and I was looking for Garlic shrimp. I have the picture from last weeks garlic shrimp. Last week it tasted like it had fish sauce in it with spices and garlic, etc...tonight it literally tastes like bbq seasoning mixed with chipotle seasoning and chili onion. I'm not writing this review to bash this shrimp truck because I think they are very nice but more so as constructive criticism...to hopefully keep their recipe consistent. People want the flavor of Garlic shrimp without having to go to the north shore. These other seasonings just didn't cut it for me:(

Consider considered me and my friends were very satisfied when we left. The lemonade is the most refreshing drink ever. It's not too sweet or bitter, but it's the perfect amount of lemon and sugar to not be too overbearing. The pineapple relish on the hotdog was the cherry on top and I'm so glad the owner suggested it. He was so kind and such a cool guy and my friends and I are already planning to come back before our trip is over.

    I always by passed this place on Kapiolani Blvd and decided to finally try it out…read more My boyfriend and I approached the stand and I was looking over the menu. We knew we were only going to get one hotdog just to try it out. When we were ready to put in our order, I placed it in with the male worker. As I was saying my order to the worker, my boyfriend had walked away to the side to wait for me. When I finished putting in my order, the worker had asked me if it would have been just one or two hotdogs. I answered him by saying yes just one. Which he then responded by saying, "what, would he rather have a pho?" Clearly seeing my boyfriend was Asian, that was his question for us just getting one hotdog. He said it as if it was funny. I left it alone and waited for the order. I just don't get the point of him having to say that. He didn't even pronounce "pho" right either, he pronounced it as "foe." As for the hotdog itself, it is good. It is on the pricier side of $11 for one but for the price you get with the bun, polish sausage and toppings, it made it for it. Lower stars because of the overall impression.
