    The juiciest, tastiest chicken you will ever be blessed to enjoy!
    Lala H.

    By far the juiciest, tastiest, best huli-huli chicken in all of Hawaii! We have had some amazing huli chicken on every island in Hawaii, and Diamond's instantly became our favorite -- hands down the absolute best there is! From their warm, friendly service to the pride and joy that goes into preparing the food, Diamond's is a one-of-a-kind gem. Located directly across the street from Tanioka's (iykyk) and next to Arby's -- look for the huli-huli sign and the smoky gloriessness billowing from the chicken as it huli-huli's it's way to perfection! Do yourself a favor and let Diamond's Kitchen feed your craving for some legit ono grindz!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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, 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.

    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!

    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!

    If you are familiar with the only Arby's in Waipahu, it's an actual permanent food truck in the parking lot. This location has several businesses as well, Jack and Box, Little Caesar's Pizza, etc.....

I can see why the industrial workers enjoy this food truck! the portions are massive and the prices are affordable --- but how? all plates are under $24 even if you do a combo. i totally think it's a hefty meal especially for a male -- it'll make their bellies so happy! its a one man show so you may/may not have to wait, but just be patient it'll be worth it. or maybe just call in your order if you can. I got 2 plates - 1 fried chicken with noodle for $15, and 1 combo plate with steak and lechon for about $21 (i think). You can also choose 2 sides so i got fried rice and mac salad. Everything was really good and i was actually able to share these plates with my family, LOL. They are in pearl city industrial park...just pass sams club pearl city and make the right turn after it on the main road. they are parked on the side of the road near aloha shoyu and is a blue and white van.

Just want to let you know that this place can get busy so you have to be patient and Braddah George is a one man show. It just baffles me how he can pump out all these Plate Lunches all by himself. That's incredible if you ask me. My advice to you is call ahead of time but no guarantee he answers the phone because it gets nuts Gotta check this place out if you're in the area. By the way price for this Plate right here was $19. Unreal

There was a bit of a wait since only one cashier was open after dinner time. My ice was already melting while I waited to pay, so I wish another register had opened, but it may have just been short staffing. The restroom is located around the corner if you need but it's not the cleanest. I wished the tables were wiped down more often, good thing I had wipes with me because I hate to dine on sticky tables. I've come here several times for halo halo, and the mix can be a hit or miss depending on the day. Sometimes the ice comes out hard or in rock-like chunks, which takes away from the experience. This last visit, though, was actually really good, and it hit the spot. Took some photos of the promos they had on display.

The portions also had very little meat, which made the food even more disappointing. We also ordered the braised beef marrow soup & waited over 45 minutes for it. The process was painfully inefficient. There were two workers, but one seemed to just follow the other around & watch instead of actually helping. There was constant walking back & forth with no sense of urgency or organization. There was also way too much horseplay going on in the kitchen area, especially when customers were waiting for their food. Instead of fooling around, the focus should have been on getting orders out. Even worse, I watched one worker sneak pieces of food to eat while working. I also saw a worker wearing gloves scratch their nose & then continue working. What's the point of wearing gloves if you're going to touch your face & continue handling food? Cold food, flies, no condiments, barely any meat, over a 45-minute wait, horseplay, inefficient service, & questionable sanitation. The whole operation seemed disorganized & poorly managed. Definitely not an experience I would recommend.

My go-to is half original, half chocolate with mochi--crispy on the outside, warm, soft, and chewy on the inside, and so addicting. They also serve boba, which was pretty good too!

    My family and I have been loyal customers to Loco Moco here in Kunia for as long as I can remember…read more The ownership has changed frequently during the years, but these new owners seem to have gotten in right! Located by Kunia Walmart and Subway, this location offers amazing local dishes and specialty drinks. Compared to similar businesses, the price here is right and it's time for my review! There is ample parking since it is in the Walmart parking lot and the service here is quick. The lovely Lemin crafts the most refreshing smoothies, boba drinks, teas, and my favorite.... the bubble waffle cone! If you haven't treated yourself to this, it is a MUST TRY! Alongside Lemin is Vicki and Vali who are the frontline workers who will always great you with a warm smile. During peak hours they maybe multi-tasking with phone orders and walk in customers, but they will find time to kindly service you! The seating area is a bit small for bigger parties, but the turnover rate seems quick. The establishment is well kept, clean (I do witness the sanitation of tables), and has AC for those hot Hawaii days. Our ohana usually comes in every week. Whether its personal plates, burgers, refreshing treats, or party pans, Loco Moco has been our designated foodie spot! So.... What to order? I am a very picky eater, but I highly recommend the garlic mahi mahi, teriyaki steaks, BBQ cheeseburger, garlic shrimp, chicken katsu, house salad (ask for their special dressing), and of course mochiko chicken. If you are ordering pans, a small size goes a long way! We have never had issues with the quality of food nor the service. The workers are fun to talk around with and will guide you to your foodie needs ;) BUUTT don't forget to get the bubble waffle cone! I can't stress that treat enough! It's unclear to me how some people gave 1star ratings. They probably just had a really bad day or something and needed to vent, but don't let them steer you away from enjoying some delicious AFFORDABLE food! So if you're near, make sure you stop by :D
