    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
    Leland S.

    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!

We ordered the Kalbi plate, kimchi pancakes, and bibimbap. The cost can be a bit pricy, but the portions and taste really make up for it. The bibimbap had a variety of vegetables that made the dish look colorful. It came with bulgogi and an egg, and it was seasoned well. It also came with gochujang on the side, which I appreciated since my daughter can't eat spicy. My husband says the Kalbi plate was very good. It had a hint of sweetness and didn't feel dry. The kimchi pancakes had a nice crisp and and it was tasty. Next time, we will have to try the seafood pancake from there.

They gave two dipping sauces, one spicy and their regular. The spicy gives an extra kick. One combo plate can definitely feed two short older Filipino women so the portions are generous! I'd recommend bringing cash to avoid the 3% credit card fees. I'd also call my order in next time. It took about 10 minutes, which isn't bad, but if you're on a lunch break and in a rush, calling ahead would be best.

Their version is a take on fried pork, which is different from the traditional sisig cooked on a barbecue grill, but it's absolutely delicious in its own right. The crispy, flavorful pork makes this dish seriously satisfying. They also have beef pares, which I haven't tried yet, but it's definitely on my list. If you're craving flavorful sisig, Sw8 Dada's is worth checking out!

We were spoiled to the max! The owners and their family run the place and in true Filipino hospitality, they served us buffet/family style and entertained us with their stories from their humble beginnings to what they are today. The food was the best I've had in the Island. Hands down. Everything tasted nostalgic because the technique used in cooking each dish tasted like a handed down recipe from a grandma's kitchen from back home in the motherland. If you're ever in the island of Oahu please make your way to Waipahu and sample as much of their offerings as you can and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommended coming from a humble cook who rarely raves about Filipino food because I myself learned from my paternal grandmother.

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.

The kalbi here is very different from typical local style kalbi, it's a lot less char and sauce heavy, it really lets the quality of the meat be at the forefront. The kalbi is cut thick but there's no need for a knife at all it, it's tender enough to bite through easily and it falls right off the bone. There's a light soy glaze on the meat and it's just enough to balance out the flavor of the meat. Honestly at first I didn't think I was going to like it because I was expecting the usual style of kalbi that's on island but after eating more and more of the plate I found myself hooked! Haven't found any other spots that make kalbi like these folks (and I tend to eat kalbi more than I'd like to admit). The people working the truck are always super kind and attentive, there's a cute little outdoor space to eat next to their truck that has shade and a good amount of wind to keep any flies away. The banchan provided is also a winner, the kimchi is very fermented which I love, it's got a crazy amount of tang which goes so good with the meat and rice. This spot has quickly become a favorite of mine on island and anytime I find myself in Waipahu I find my way back to this cute yellow truck
