    Two half chicken.
    Gabriel P.

    Friendly fast sevice. I like my chicken with a good char, but that's ok. No chared skin here. Good tasting and excellent price point. Parking can be troublesome. I had to drop my wife off and wait in the car. Enjoy

    W O W... Guys. Stop what you're doing. Check the time. If Diamond's Kitchen is open right now - GO GET YOURSELF SOME HULI HULI CHICKEN! I'd had this place bookmarked for months, and last week I finally made it in. One plate lunch later and... BRUH. Diamond's delivers. That Huli Huli Chicken is packed with flavor - super juicy, smoky, and fully worth both the drive and the wait. We also got a combo with Huli Huli Chicken & Ribs. The ribs were as tender as could be! The flavor, however, was unexpected... tomato sauce and oregano. Quite different for me, tbh. Glad we tried it tho! Cash and cards accepted. There are a few tables under the tent if you want to eat there. Fair warning: you will smell like smoke for the rest of the day lol. Hope you love it! :)

    Being from Waipahu, I'm aware there are many hidden gems here and sometimes the best ones are from word of mouth. This being one of them that my brother introduced to me.This is by far the best huli huli chicken I've ever tasted! It is perfectly cooked, fresh not dry and incredibly delicious. I'm an instant fan

    Was just at Big Island trying the huli huli chicken. Diamond Kitchen is the best thus far. Well marinated and smokey flavor while still moist. Service was quick, about 10 mins after ordering. The grill master play Hawaiian ray gay music for the ambiance next to a few picnic tables to sit and eat.

    Diamond's Kitchen a hidden gem of a Food Truck located in the same strip mall as Elena's, Jack in the Box, and Arby's. Now they're open on Saturdays! Great Hulihuli Chicken. Good flavor very nostalgic taste. Locally owned and operated. Service is friendly and accommodating. Parking available in the private parking lot. Small outdoor dining tables are available. Take out available.

    This place is by far the BEST food truck on the island! I lived here for six years in total and I never been here? Shame on me. The cook is so cool and funny and the food is so good. The chicken is super juicy and flavorful and the bbq sticks is so good. The service is second to none and they're so friendly. The ambiance here is outdoors as you smell like a grill after but so worth it. This place taste soo good they need to open a brick and mortar. The calamansi sweet tea is 5/5 and refreshing and the food want more 5/5

    pull up!

    love the vibes of the entire family! been to the island on a near annual basis and so glad i stumbled across this place. saw the smoke comin from a parkin lot and had to drive by to see what was cookin.. and cot dayum best bbq chicken hawaiin style on the island! Vee is super sweet, the bbq masters are pure vibes and the chicken literally fall off the bone. This will now be on my must hit lists everytime i visit.

    Huli Huli chicken plate

    I went here to grab lunch today and ordered their Huli Huli chicken plate which comes with corn and rice and a yummy dipping sauce. They give a chicken wing and 2 other large pieces so they don't skimp on portions here! Their Huli Huli chicken is yummy and has a nice smoked flavor. I wanted to try their crab potato salad but they ran out today. If you're craving for Huli Huli chicken, come to this food truck in Waipahu near Arby's!

    This chicken is delicious! It doesn't look like much, but don't let this one pass you by. The people are nice, and the chicken is awesome!

    Huli huli chicken, lechon, potato crab salad

    We needed our coffee fix and are glad there are some local artisan coffee businesses here. AMBIANCE: Parking: It's in a plaza; the parking there can get busy, but that's generally on the weekends. Seating: There are community tables, maybe about 3-4 tables. Vibes: Welcome to Waipahu, it's not the most flashliest but it's a nice humble area to appreciate the local gems of Hawaii. It's in a plaza with your daily maintenance need shops and a few restaurants. The shop itself is in a pod village (as people from Portland would call it), basically a few kiosks and food trucks. Great place for a quick bite or a grab-and-go. FOOD: Huli Huli Chicken & Lechon Mix (Recommend) Deeeelicious! Some bbqs can be oversmoked, dry and such but this was delightful. Well sauce and the finesse of the chicken was delicious, soft, juicy, and flavorful. The lechon was solid with a nice crunch and good portions of fat and meat. Complement it with a refreshing crab potato salad and you're in for a treat! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people and quick with the service TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 stars. Good food, fair prices, and a pleasant experience. Many people talk about Roy's huli huli chicken but this a solid delight especially if you're in this area. Best wishes to Rhia and Mark Cabo and the rest of the Diamond's kitchen team. TIPS: * Huli means turn in Hawaii but also evolved as a sauce that mainly consists of pineapple, soy sauce, brown sugar, and all that other good stuff.

    Decided to go back and buy more Huli Huli Chicken. Had a Special for 2-containers chicken $30- it was a lot. One of the best Huli Huli Chicken. Moist and Juicy. Stop by if you're in the Waipahu area. Aloha, Derek

    We came here on a whim where we were trying to find our way back to our hotel, and was kinda lost in the area trying to see the local areas in a bus. We tried out their huli huli chicken and it was really good. It was soft, tender, smoky, and pairs well with the sauce. It's a bit salty to eat it alone, and I know that you can order one that has rice and corn, but we weren't that hungry to have a whole meal. It was still rlly good though! The people over there were really nice, and struck a conversation with my family while we were waiting for our food. They also let us sample their kalbi which was so flavorful. I highly suggest this place to try out their chicken!

    Sahan L.

    Ugh! The best! Tender and juicy. Chicken breast is not my fav part to eat, BUT this time I ate the whole thing! Lesgo It's so good, I was hooked for a whole week. Take my money!

    Is this a whole Huli huli chicken?

I got the three mix plate with Firecracker Chicken, 94 Sauce Pork Chops and Cream Meatballs. I also got the 74 South Moko. Everything was delicious. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the pork was tender. The meatballs were a little salty with the sauce, but just eat a lot of rice! The moko isn't a patty, it's just their meatballs. The eggs were perfectly runny and a very savory.

The Mum Mum Noodles Deluxe was topped with easy over eggs, French Fries, and a sweet mayo (?) sauce. I liked the chewy Noodles, but I prefer a more savory sauce - I'm sure I could have asked to change sauce if I knew. Note: Ketchup at home helped a lot! The pork Chops were delicious and tender! Corn was a nice side, along with two scoops of rice. Service was okay. I asked what "Mops" stood for - it's slang for "eating". The cashier made an eating motion... LOL!

It was sure good to be back, and I am happy for their business to have its own place where customers can sit, not just takeout. They are now located near West Loch station by Mickey D's and Seafood City [the shops West Loch station). I live in Honolulu but it was sure worth it to take the rail to satisfy my sisig craving. I ordered their pork sisig with rice, and it sure was still delish! Pro tip for the business is using calamansi instead of lemon (but still good!). My order seems like it is for just one person but honestly, if you share it with another person, you'd still be satisfied because it is stomach-heavy! If you didn't have much to eat throughout the day, you could easily demolish the sisig dish I ordered. For drinks, they have canned sodas inside for $2.00 but I decided to get some smoothies at Hang's just doors down the place. As the parking spot may fill up, you can always drop a buddy off to pick up some to-go order. I have yet to try some of their other dishes such as their beef pares noodles. So--if you are craving ramen--try switching it up and get some of their noodles! I also recommend getting bulk orders for parties! Mahalo and I hope this business continues to reap success!

It was almost 11am and it looked like all the trucks were closed, but fortunately, Dick's was open. It looked like they were only one of two or three that were. I decided on the lechon with pancit plate this time, since the Fried rice I got the last time was fairly bland. It was a good choice, as the noodles were flavorful, with lots of veggies. Unfortunately, the lechon was super salty this time. It was moist and the skin was veto crispy, but I could only eat a little at a time, due to the saltiness. I'm hoping this was a "one off", and they didn't change their preparation or recipe. I'll have to make sure by stopping by again to grab another order soon.

I ended up eating it with vinegar to jazz it up. Bbq pork stick was really good on its own. The vinegar that was provided added even more flavor. It was actually my favorite out of everything; had a good char. Pork lumpia was two long pieces that was equivalent to like 6 regular size pieces. My kids enjoyed it. The turon had a good crunchy exterior, the banana seemed a bit on the dry side. Glad to see many people trying Dick's Lechon n' supporting local!

They're located on the corner and once you see a tent & smell bbq, you're at the right spot. This restaurant gave karinderia vibe to it! Karinderia is basically like those food stalls they have in the Philippines, where they have a bunch of dishes and you sit out to enjoy the food. Home cooked & affordable eats. They have everything from bbq sticks, adobo, lechon, kilawan, lumpia and more. I got the bbq stick & chicken inasal plate. The bbq stick was packed with so much flavor! The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE. If you want to experience a true Filipino experience with great food, this place is for you.
