For the extra crunch, they had pickled cucumbers included. Thank you for the chopstick and napkin with the take out :)

Finally returned to Seki Slush in the Hukilau Marketplace, in Laie…read more I tried the smallest sized, mini Seki Mango Slush with vanilla ice cream, as an add-on. Fantastic, if not quite as good as the Guava Slush. They use real fruit and it is not overly sweet as a result. Service was friendly and fast, once again; the small food trailer is quite colorful. Lots of stalls available and several food trucks/trailers in the same area.

I absolutely love this place! The slushy is so refreshing but not too sweet. The girl that helped…read moreus was so nice, she let us try a sample of mango and guava. They were both good but we opted for guava this time with ice cream. Even though my daughter and I went together, I did not want to share! Lol. There is lots of seating available around their food truck, including areas that are under the shade. I want to go back already!

Spring rolls is one of our favorites along with pad thai, eggplant, curry and chicken satay. Pro tip, they will allow you to determine the level of spiciness so just let them know when ordering. Also, ask for their sticky rice (iykyk). Please remember it's cash only.

The basil beef stir fry would be better with ground beef rather than chewy slices. The stir fry eggplant with chicken was pretty good served medium hot, but like the basil beef would be better with smaller chunks of meat. Let's just say compared to 4 star rated Siam Garden Cafe on Nimitz, it is not equivalent in taste and quality.

Seeing this little stall within the Hukilau Marketplace, next to Polynesian Cultural Center really reminded me of the time when mixing sodas (at McDs) was fun. I wonder if that was the inspiration! I didn't see those on the menu, but they have many other soda creations--including iced coffee, boba drinks, crafted waters, energy mixed drinks, farm to cup specialty drinks, and frozen drinks. Got a little bit of everything! I like how they incorporate Hawaiian Pidgin to name some of the drinks. It's a test to see who is local lol. "Ho cuz, can I get one da kine holoholo and small kine Broke Da Mouth? Shoooots!" That's four drinks right there. Ordered a Pink Plumeria (lemonade and strawberry, guava with fresh berries). With these mixed soda drinks, there's a little worry it might be too sweet, but this was not the case at all. Very clean flavors that were well balanced between sweet and sour. The lady at the counter was very nice and friendly. Sodabomb is definitely a unique place as I can't think of any other place that does this, especially with sodas. For sure a must stop while you're in Laie! I'll be back for more!

My husband and I had the jerk chicken one and it was full of flavor! It had just the right amount of deep fried crunch on the outside and spicy jerk flavor. Now it wasn't as spicy as the traditional Jamaican Jerk for my spice lovers, but definitely still packing with flavor. We also got the peach mango rub fries! You heard right, a peach mango rub (made from scratch by Chef D, the owner ) that one would typically put on a slow roasted or smoked meat was thrown on some hot crispy fries with a barbecue drizzle sauce.... Mm mm good . Speaking of the owner, he was serving with his daughter, and their "up" spirits and welcoming smiles created a fun but family atmosphere... great ambiance! Chef D told us his story and how they got there in Hawaii. But most of all his passion for food was very evident. Between the excellent food, service and ambiance this place was a great, unique experience

The chef is from Philly and not only is his food rich in flavor, he's rich because he got the family there with him, and they provide the best service and amazing vibes. I could have easily chatted with them all day, they are super cool, creating a very welcoming ambience. I enjoyed the jerk chicken and Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and be warned, they are HUGE, great portions, easy to share, because he splits them in half. Both were a 10/10, I would have them again! Philly was out of this world good! The filling of these egg rolls taste delicious and gourmet, you can absolutely tell in every single bite the thought, intention, and time it took to prepare these unique flavors! Washed it down with a refreshing guava lemonade. :) You will not regret stopping here, and probably will be back for more. Mahalo!

Serving up three sizes (20oz, 24oz & 32oz) I kept it small as I'm not much of a lemonade drinker and didn't want to add any flavor syrups to make it even sweeter thankfully as it was pretty sweet for my personal taste I could barely taste the lemons and was pretty disappointed but the staff was nice and my drink made fast with a smile it was nice convenient treat on this blazing hot day. Thank you!

I was overwhelmed with the menu and numerous flavors. I was leaning more towards trying their iced tea. So the woman at the window suggested lilikoi mango and I just had to try it. I am so glad I did I love lilikoi and mango but the two mixed is just wow *chefs kiss. I definitely want to come back and try one of their slushies and floats on a hot day. Today was windy and my office is cold so we'll save that for another day.

The acai was not as sweet as I'm used to, which is a personal preference. The acai was a bit watery though so it was a bit hard to eat. However, the amount of toppings was very generous and the fruits were good. The portion didn't really seem worth it for the price though. The vibes were overall good here though, the truck is kinda like a surf truck. Like how they feature local surf news and riders. The service was also good as well, workers were very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for our acai. Not bad at all, but not the best acai in Haleiwa or on island.

Crispy Grindz in Haleʻiwa has quickly become a spot I recommend, mainly because of their pao de…read morequeijo. They make them in a unique way, pressing the dough on a waffle iron so the outside comes out crispy and crunchy while the inside stays chewy. The four-pack is the way to go--plenty for one person and shareable for two, but I wouldn't try splitting it beyond that because you'll definitely want more than one for yourself. I've also tried the coxinha and the ham and cheese pastel, which were good, though not as much of a standout as the pao de queijo. Everything is served very fresh, so fresh in fact that I burned my mouth on the pastel because of the steam pocket inside, so it's worth letting things cool a little before biting in. Seating is all outdoors at picnic tables with umbrellas, and while there's usually space available, you might need to share a table if it's busy. There's no cooling, so it can get hot during the day even with the shade. Parking is on the street out front. I've never had trouble finding a spot, but pulling in and out can be tricky if there's traffic going by. Overall I'd give Crispy Grindz 4 stars. The pao de queijo alone makes it worth stopping for, while the other items I tried were good but not the best I've had. I haven't tried the bowls or other menu items, so I can't comment on those, but if you're in the area the pao de queijo is something I definitely recommend.
