I also tried their "pineapple curry with shrimp", omg that was delicious! The service was quicker than I thought it would be. Their wagon sat in the corner but it was clean and it has a few tables with benches to sit and enjoy your food. Very friendly people. I returned 2 more times after that day and plan to return often. I met a retired couple that 1st time I ate there and learned they have been eating here for 10 yrs. They live in Aiea which is far away from Kahuku, but said whenever he has a craving for Thai food he makes that drive just for his favorite dish, the "house special". Of course on my next visit I did order the "house special" and learned very quickly why that gentleman loved this dish. Besides being very tasty, that plate was packed. I couldn't finish it all. I was so full. But my husband finished his entire plate in a flash. He loved it, and said he'll be ordering that again. I highly recommend. Oh I forgot, we also tried the spring AND summer rolls. You all need to try it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

You get a good portion of food per order! Definitely try it out, I left full and satisfied! I was probably so distracted by how good the food was that I forgot my purse at the dining area. The owners found it and held onto it for me. It was so nice of them. Thank you so much for keeping it safe!! I'm so grateful for you guys!

Everything came out fresh and almost unbearably hot, which I'll never complain about. The kalbi was a little sweet for my liking, but had a great char and was still really good.

The moment you step through the door, you're greeted like they've been expecting you. Warm, genuine, no rush -- pure aloha from start to finish. The service here is next level. The staff remembers your face, your order, and somehow always knows exactly what you need. It's not just fast food service -- it's that old-school, hometown feel where people actually care. You don't get that everywhere, and it means everything when you do. And the food? Bruddah, don't get me started. The portions are generous, the flavors are legit, and everything tastes like it was made with love -- because it was. Classic local Chinese plate lunch that hits different every single time. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for a full meal, it always feels like a home-cooked experience. This is the kind of place that's been a community staple for a reason. Locals know. Visitors who find it? They always come back. If you're on the North Shore or passing through Laie, do yourself a favor and pull in. You will not be disappointed.

Had heard about Eighty Chicken Sandwiches from a couple pre-trip searches and wanted to make it one…read moreof our must-go dining stops on this trip. We drove up to get there just before noon on a Saturday. It was rainy, so the numbers were a bit light in the area, but there were still thirteen people in line when the truck opened for business. The owner was fun, friendly, and engaging the customers in conversations while prepping the food. There are times when I think some food truck owners take on the role of a short order cook and get annoyed that you don't understand "how" you're supposed to order; that was certainly NOT the case here. You just need to decide if you want a hot or regular sandwich and whether you want bleu cheese or special sauce. We got one hot and one regular, but the chicken is HUGE and two adults can easily share one sandwich. I'm torn, because while we would probably order just one sandwich next time, I also want to support the business and get two. The chicken was as good as everyone told us and had incredible crispy batter. The fries though...those were maybe the best I've ever had. I don't normally love the double cooked style fry, but could live off those and never get tired of them. FYI...we took ours to eat at the Beer Garden about 100 yards to the west and that's a winning combo.

He gives excellent clear directions on how to order your sandwich. I love that the concept is simple. Order the number of sandwiches you need for your party. Do you want spicy or not? (Spicy is delicious and not too spicy at all.) Do you want blue cheese sauce or "dat sauce" which is like fry sauce? No drinks available so bring your own or take it to the beer garden nearby and get an adult beverage. Cash or Venmo only. The price is $20 for a huge chicken sandwich, delicious fries, and your side of sauce along with a cup of ketchup. My sandwich was MASSIVE. Honestly, you could split with another person--but I always want my own. Well worth the drive out to get it. Saturdays and Sundays only; check his Instagram for updates.

The sign on the side of the building says "Willi Willi's plantation café." the menu is primarily Thai with a few other Asian items, but I wanted one thing. Garlic shrimp. It came spicy or regular, I chose the regular, and that's what I got. The place is clean, and the lady was friendly. I ordered, and my food came quickly. It was excellent. There was a very generous order, the shrimp was tender and delicious. The rice was perfectly done. I loved the butter, and while I wished there would've been just a little bit more garlic flavor, I could still taste it no problem at all. I left stuffed. I would like to come back and try some of the Thai items on the menu. Thank you.

Just good food, made with real hands and real care. I ordered the Mushroom Burger, and it honestly changed the game for me. The patty was juicy and seasoned just right, layered with sautéed mushrooms that added this deep, earthy flavor -- like comfort cooked slow. The melted cheese pulled everything together in perfect balance, and the toasted bun held its own without ever getting in the way. Every bite was messy in the best way -- the kind you have to close your eyes for and just feel. The vibe here? Pure aloha. You walk in and feel like you've been here before -- like this is where everyone goes when they just need a good meal and a moment to breathe. The staff are chill, friendly, and full of that easy local kindness that can't be faked. It's the kind of place where time slows down -- where you sit outside, taste the salt in the air, and let the flavors remind you how good life can be in its simplest form. Final Thoughts: Haleʻiwa Burgers isn't just about burgers -- it's about the feeling after the last bite. That quiet, content, "yeah, this is it" kind of happiness.
