REVIEW STRICTLY FOR THE FOOD SERVED AT THE 2023 HONOLULU HALE CHRISTMAS PARADE: We remembered this place from last years Christmas parade, so I already knew I wanted to get food from them because the food I got for my other half was great. Unfortunately, this time around, the food was SEVERLY overpriced. We got lechon fried rice, lechon pancit, a super combo, and two types of lumpia. Both the lechon fried rice and lechon pancit were in a mini sized container. It looked like the lechon was a GARNISH rather than an actual serving. For $18? It looked like $10 worth of food. The lumpia was very skinny, and the banana in the banana lumpia texture and taste was like it needed a little more time to ripen. At $2 a piece? I expected more. The serving size of pancit and rice in the super combo should've had the meat serving to match the $30 price tag. Due to feeling ripped off, the flavor was meh 6/10. Some reviews say their lechon is the "best on the island," but I disagree. The skin is crunchy, and that's about it. read more

Come here for the Lechon not the barbecue stick! It was more like a jerkey stick. Hard and dry. I couldn't even tell what type of meat it was because it was so dry... Beef? pork? I don't know. Stick to the lechon and adobo... read more

Will never eat here again. I ordered lumpia, watched her drop one on the floor, bend down to pick it up, and put it in the bag. She stops and turns to look at me. She probably was checking if I saw that. I shake my head, no. She then proceeds to make a new bag. I take my lumpia only to find hair on it. Is it hair from the ground?? Who knows how many have dropped and they just pick it up. I should've just walked away. How many people are they feeding from the ground?? read more

I've heard of this place from coworkers, so I got excited and went to get some. Got there, asked for a few items on their menu but they're all out of stock. Staff was kinda rude...So I ordered some letchon special and some pancit. When I got home we tried to eat the food but it was horrible. The pancit tasted old and so oily, the letchon has no taste at all. I felt so bad for letting my husband eat this terrible tasting food. Just hope we don't get sick. I will definitely not recommend this to anyone . read more

My absolute FAVE spot to get lechon! I usually just get the 1 choice plate with all rice. AMAZING pieces of meat and the lechon sauce is NECESSARY, but rice and pansit it comes with is just a lil below good. I will always come back here, but I'll always bring new people here! SO good! read more

Got this at a food festival in Waikiki on 8/5/2023 -- lechon fried rice and lechon pansit. It is now 8/6/2023, and we are STILL vomiting. Absolutely got food poisoning from here. read more

Well it's amazing how a food truck can go from 5 stars to 2 stars! But if you don't have enough pride to be consistent with your food quality or consistent with the taste then you won't survive. Customers like to know when they go that their Lechon if it's your specialty is as good as past reviews say. This wasn't my first time, but the last two times we've order take out the Lechon was either old dried out with "Rubbery skin" Wow! A Lechon No! No! When they first opened up had the bbq roasting the Lechon rolls. And the food was ono! The pancit was cold and salty. I noticed the Lechon BBQ spits are gone. I guess they pre make the Lechon rolls and reheat. Well if you start out doing fresh Lechon and now selling left overs from other days? Well you know that won't fly long! Too bad used to be a joy to order, even the workers in the truck don't have that friendly nature they had 2-3 yrs ago. A shame though if they don't change. read more

I enjoy this food truck location in Waikele. I usually get a one choice plate with all pancit and the lechon with tomatoes and onions. I've had the pork lumpia and the banana lumpia but I wouldn't recommend either. Portions are a bit overwhelming (in my opinion) but the food is still great and hits the spot! read more

Disappointed lechon peices was mostly fat and hardly any skin or meat guisantes was the same mostly fat no meat. Also there were a bunch of birds in her kitchen and she used the tongs she cooks with to swat the birds kinda gross...made me lose my appetite a bit. read more

Wont eat here again. Will not recommending this food truck in Waikele. Ordered Ala Carte plate lunch of Lechon and Beef Tapa. Pancit took up 3/4 of plate! Cabbage in pancit smelled rotten and fishy (not sure how that is even possible since they don't have fish on the menu)- threw it away immediately. Beef Tapa was dried out like beef Jerky. Lechon was "ok"- all one cup portion. I regret coming here and wasting my time and money. Do yourself a favor and pass on this place. Thank me later. read more

Awful food, awful people working at the wagon. Don't give this truck your business. Half the lechon looked okay the other half looked like day old reheated stuff. No crisp to it just plain hard. Broke da teeth hard. Some parts of pancit was okay yet others seemed liked leftover fried over again from earlier orders. Can find way better lechon elsewhere. Oops my stomach stay gurgling now. read more

Got a two choice plate today for lunch. Lechon with beef tapa. Not bad but definitely first and last. Price isn't bad, but definitely found out what this place was about. Lechon was decent, dry and crunchy skin. Definitely different from other places or even Chinese style pork with skin. Beef tapa on the other hand was seasoned too much or too salty (left in fridge seasoned for too long?). Comparing this food shack V.S. Golden coin I'd like to say golden coin would be my best bet for similar food. Overall a must try place, since you see it all the time passing waikele. Just not my go to place for Lechon. read more

Came here a few days ago to get half a pound of lechon and some barbecue sticks for dinner. not happy.... Lechon was not crunchy and was very salty. The bbq sticks had so much fat... Very disappointed.. read more

Go for the garlic rice and of course the lechon rice as well, crispy and tasty skin and meat. Its better to bring your own Mang Tomas sauce but their sauce is ok. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I've seen this food truck whenever I go to Waikele. Decided to try it for the first time. I ordered the lechon fried rice. Rice wasn't fresh. Maybe left overs from yesterday? It was hard and crunchy, rice shouldn't be hard. Lechon seemed to be mixture of old and fresh meat. I won't be returning to this business again. read more

This was my go to spot in the past for crispy lechon but the last couple of times, it wasn't so good. The skin didn't have the smooth, crispy texture I remember. Haven't been back for a few months now so may check it out again when in the area. read more

I see their food truck at the Waikele Outlets but have never ordered their food for some reason. I tried their food for the first time at the Ukulele Festival because Olay's Thai Food wouldn't allow me to use my Groupon at this location, even though I've read other reviews where people got to use their Groupon at the Farmer's Market. Anyway, so glad I tried Dick's Lechon because my food was very tasty. I ordered the Lechon Special that comes with salad, 1 scoop of rice, lechon w/chopped tomatoes and onions, and pancit. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of the lechon. It was crispy and seasoned well. The raw onions were not overpowering and did not leave me with dragon breathe. Lol. The vinegar had a good blend of spice(s) as well. I subtracted one star because it took way too long to get my food. I stood in the blazing heat for a good 25 minutes before I got my order. There's an employee who kept messing up so the chef kept calling her "stupid" in Tagalog. Also, whenever the wind blew, their unused styrofoam containers would fall to the ground and the part where you place the food would lay on the grass. However, instead of tossing them out, they would just fill them with food. Not sanitary! Next time, they need to weigh the unused containers down with something so it doesn't get blown away. Also, they need to stop taking new orders until they get caught up with the food orders they have already taken. I've read mixed reviews on this place. So glad I got the "good cook" on this visit. I must admit the rice was a little clumpy, but I'm not subtracting any stars for that because the main meal was solid. Not sure what their normal price is at their food truck, but my order came up to $17, which is a little pricey to me. read more

I had their lechon yesterday because my normal go to place ran out. I called in my order and headed down. I got my order and brought it home. To my unpleasant surprise, all of the lechon was sitting in a HUGE POOL of oil. Yes, I know it's deep fried, but at least drain it or put something to soak up the oil. BECAUSE it was sitting in the oil, the skin was SO tough and chewy. I also dont know if it's also because it's been sitting out and they just reheated it.. But it could very well have been considering the texture..I tried to make it crispy again by throwing it into the air fryer. That just made it hard and inedible. Over all, it only got 3 stars because the flavor was there. It was a bit pricey for the quality I received. I'm not sure if I'd go back. read more

Bought 3 orders of Lechon fried rice (5 pm), Kawali, and other Ala carte items but we were shocked we were given OLD dried up and salty beaded Rice/Lechon it tasted so terrible we HAD to throw it away!!! Called Mike explained and refunded me in good faith. Others love them but timing helps too. I appreciated what he did. Sandi-Aiea read more

i'd give this place a five star if their rice wasn't so watery ( I personally don't like my rice very watery nor sticky) their lechon is amazing though and the side pancit is the cherry on top of it all. Highly recommend! read more

Wow!!! I had there lecheon once at the 50th state fair. It was very good then. Today though, we decided on Leanord's for some malasadas. Decided to grab a quick bite. And man am I happy I did! There lecheon was better than at the fair! It was so tender, crispy and flavorful. There pancit was very tasty too! read more

Dick's Lechon - Filipino Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Was craving some lechon and was in the area so I'd thought I'd try this place out. They are located on I guess I can say good truck row next to petco in waikele. They have ala carte items and plate lunches. Plate lunches come with rice&pancit, and you can choose 1, 2 or 3 items from the ala carte menu. I got 2 items plate lunch, lechon and vegetable lumpia. It wasn't busy so took my order right away. It only took about 5 min then I got my food. Lechon portion was alright, and they give you 2 lumpias. The lumpia was okay....it wasn't crispy, it was kinda soggy. So the lumpia was meh. The lechon tho is really good, crispy esp with the lechon sauce. It was good without it. Wish they gave a little more then it would be perfect. Overall I'd come here again but just for the lechon. read more

I gave this place 3 chances to satisfy me only because it seemed like it was the hype. Sometimes even a great food establishment has their 'bad batches'. But I've proved that it's just not that great. The lechon is supposedly their specialty. However, there's none of the Filipino TLC put into it. Heavily lacking on flavor. It's bland to say the least. I'm confused on how really dry it is for something that can be so oily. The skin is chewy and never crispy, big negative. It's also ridiculously expensive. I'm down to pay for quality. But not this. Also, I was only greeted once out of the 3 times. Where's the Aloha? It would've started off with 3 stars on the first visit, but it lost a star with every experience. The best lechon I've ever had still remains the same. It's from a man in Waipahu who makes the belly out of his home for $80 a big roll. (Secret lol) Unfortunately, he doesn't have a restaurant or truck! read more

I was introduced to this wagon a week or so ago to try their lechon and i loved it!!!!!!! I first tried their lechon and pancit plate. The lechon was fresh and delicious and so crunchy!!!!! The lechon didn't taste porky and it wasn't too oily, leaving you feeling sluggish like pork skin usually does. It's flavorful and crunchy! The pancit was okay, it tasted a bit musty idk how to explain it or if it was just that day that it tasted like that or that's just how it taste? lol but I def recommend this place to others wanting to try lechon skin! The prices are affordable. If you haven't tried dick's lechon, come and check this place out! read more

I was craving for lechon the other day so I decided to go get me some. So I ordered the pancit and lechon. When I got it, there was a lot of pancit sitting underneath, and the lechon was just garnished on top of it, like lechon furikake lol. I pushed the lechon into portions so you can see just how much pancit was given compared to the lechon. The lechon meat I was craving for... I was disappointed to only see that hard bottom of the meat (the dark one), not a lot of white meat and no crispy skin. You cannot have lechon without the meat and crispy skin! I guess I was expecting half the pansit and half of that yummy, meaty, crispy lechon. Would I order it again? Nope. If you crave for lechon, I recommend sticking to their plates and ala carts, unless you guys want a load of pancit and hard lechon garnish, it's all up to you. read more

Lenchon fried rice. Help yourself to the condiments. Fried rice was not soggy or dry. Had that nice fried crunch carmelization to it. Had the vinegar and sweet chili sauce outside, help yourself! Squirt that bugger all over the place. read more

The best lechon! And generous portions! I gave 4 stars only because they won't sell half plates. It's either all or nothing. I end up throwing out at least half because it's too much for me and I hate being wasteful. I also don't like eating old leftovers. So I come back and order more, knowing I won't be fInishing and end up with 3 containers of leftovers to toss! read more

I'm a fan based on their pork lumpia. They were piping hot, crispy, and loooong! Great flavor and value, a perfect snack! We tried to order their barbecue sticks but they said it'd take 15 minutes, so we skipped that. Maybe next time. read more

Personally, I think Filipino food is best prepared by my friend's parents, but I will say that for a food truck, the food here was pretty good. The Lechon belly was crispy and well cooked. You definitely want to eat it all when you get is because reheating this delicious dish is not the same. I also had their Adobo. This was a little salty and dry, so that's why I dropped a star. But honestly, if I only rated this place on the Lechon Belly, then 5 stars all the way. If you are in the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch, I suggest this place! It's really good to eat as a plate lunch at a park if you want that eating outdoor experience. Definitely will need to come back and try more dishes to see how I feel overall...but definitely, get the Lechon Belly! read more

This was the second time I ordered from Dick's. It was just OK. I mean the lechon is tasty and super moist but the two times I ordered it I received super fatty pork with just two small pieces of crispy skin. The rest of the skin in my order was soft and soggy. The fat content in my orders were way too much for my liking. I ordered a side order of pinakbet for $5 that was just OK, it seems like they used tomato sauce instead of making a sabao which is key in making Filipino food. read more

It is our first time ordering in this food truck and we are very excited to taste and try their food but the Pancit is salty, the letchon skin is not crispy anymore and mostly disappointing is the fried rice it's really disgusting it's like they just grab all the leftover rice from the food that was already eaten by other people it has dinuguan,ketchup.and we didn't order dinuguan and food with ketchup or with any red sauce. I'm sorry but it's very disappointing!!! read more

Date and time of visit: 2/2/2020 1pm-2pm Came here to eat after a car meet and the young looking kid running the register was digging his ear and scratching his nuts. Nobody in the food and beverage industry should be doing that. Funny thing is he handed my friend and I our bags and we didn't know how to grab it without indirectly touching his nuts. I ordered the adobo and it was good despite having a lot of fat. read more

We bought lechon and pancit plates sad to report that it tasted horrible. The pancit is salty . The lechon taste like old and just reheated . We threw away $27.00 worth of food. read more

I went to grab food here at 5pm and in my honest opinion this Filipino food truck is very disappointing, I would like to start off by saying there customer service is terrible the Filipino fob kid with half of his hair dyed yellow, doesn't like his job and rather be somewhere else, I asked if I could order and the audacity for him to sigh at me was unreal, so I ignored it, and I asked him if there is anything other than the pork belly, he looks back at the cook and mentions that there's only pork belly, pork guisantes, pork adobo and diniguan, it made me question how the heck you have a big menu outside and only have 4 things available, so I decided to just get a plate lunch with the pork belly and fried rice, but after that it made me question my self, on how it turned out to be almost $14 while there menu said $10.25, so at that point I didn't mind already I was just hungry, so while waiting for my food I could hear something frying and notice the worker put a piece of cold pork belly in a pan full of oil, as I seen him pull it out it was the pork belly that I ordered, and it made me realize that this place is whack, they don't care what the heck they feed you as long they'll get the money, but it still goes longer after I got home and opened it, I looked at the "adobo fried rice" the fricking thing didn't even have meat they'll charge you more just by adding soy sauce to the rice and frying it with oil. I wasn't satisfied in eating this I ended up only eating 4 pieces and my own bowl of white rice, because of the super salty ness in the pork belly, So if anybody ever eats at this place, eat it at your own risk on wasting your money and the amount of salt and soy sauce they'll feed you. Because this place will go down hill for sure. read more
