Ordered the lechon kawali and pork sisig combo plate, and I must admit... this was SO good! The…read morelechon kawali was crispy and packed with flavor, and I loved that they topped the rice with a garlic topping--it really gave it that extra Filipino touch! 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. Other than that, I'd definitely come back again and try the other things on the menu!

Dada's Sisig is seriously delicious!…read more I've been going to Sw 8 Dada's since they were a food truck, and their sisig is pretty darn good. 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!

I used to frequent Elena's in Waipahu weekly but haven't been there in a couple years because I…read moreretired and no longer frequent the Waipahu area. So after a walk in the Mililani Tech Park area I purchased a 2 choice lunch plate from Elena's Filipino Express food truck. The 2 choices were pork adobo and pork guisantes and it came with a lot of food and a lot of rice, very heavy lunch container. The plate brought back memories of lunching inside of the restaurant. The food was good, not great, but you get a lot of food for under $10. I think the food tastes better in their sit down restaurant because the food is fresher and hotter. I gave Elena's 4 stars because they were the best deal in the row of food trucks parked by Spectrum Hawaii. If you are really hungry this is the place for you.

My dad took me here for lunch after early morning errand running…read more We got there a little after 10:00 on a Thursday, and although they weren't technically open yet, the worker quickly set up and took our order in a matter of about 5 mins. The food was prepared already so it didn't take long to get our food after ordering. Filipino food is not usually what I crave to eat, unless off course it's the Filipino food that my friends' moms make with love ! But taking my bias into consideration, I'd say that the food here was pretty good! I got the Pancit and adobo fried rice omelette combo, and my dad got the Pancit and pork adobo combo. The Pancit was ok. I wish there were the long green beans in them. The pork adobo was the star of this show though! In my fried rice omelette it defiantly provided lots of flavor and made the fried rice delicious! My dad also made a comment that his pork adobo entree "had good flavor." Overall, I'd say worth checking out if you're in the area when they're around!

On September 10, 2026 I ordered through door dash and upon delivery there was half of my order…read morecompletely missing. The driver explained that when they asked the person at the restaurant if they were given everything for the order the person said yes. The driver was kind enough to wait with me until I made a phone call with Shay's to ask where the remaining part of my order was and why was it not all given to my driver. I was missing my lumpia ordered, 2 mix plates and my adobo with side rice. The lady at the restaurant whom I spoke with said that she was sorry but the person whom gave my driver the order was new in their restaurant and forgot to give the other plates in my order to my driver. She stated they were already closing and that DoorDash would be able to help me receive a refund. DoorDash did refund me and I had to reorder dinner for my kiddos through another restaurant that evening. Today September 26, 2026 my kids were craving Filipino food and because the weather is not the best to go out and eat we opted for delivery. Shame on me for giving it a second chance! My delivery driver once again showed up with half the order. When I called I spoke with Chica C. who said, "ohhhh... it was 2 plates of each 2 choice mix plate". Yes indeed there should have been 4 (2) choice mix plates in my order but instead we received 2. I asked to speak with a manager so that they could just review with staff why this is continuously happening, to avoid it happening again but was told there wasn't anyone I could speak to. I explained to her that was very disheartening because I hope this doesn't happen to others. Although DoorDash protects their customers with refunds it is still sad to order from a restaurant for your Ohana for dinner and then not everyone receives their dinner. Shay's I hope you folks will look into why this is a continuous thing, because your food is amazing but at this time I am discouraged to order again.

We attended our first polo match on the North Shore and The Streatz food truck was there, so we…read moregave it a try. They had a small menu which made it easier to choose. I chose the Ahi Katsu mini plate with rice and greens. Husband ordered the Ahi Katsu burger and side of fries. My plate was good, nice seasonings, not the best I've had but good. Mini was large enough for me. Husband enjoyed his burger and fresh tomato, lettuce on top. His fries were soggy which was disappointing. The staff was fast and friendly. We'd give it another try in future.

Julie'Z is a staple of Kapolei. Always busy, busy, busy. And always so, so, so good…read more They still keep their prices and portion reasonable. Where else can you enjoy Shanghai lumpia AND pancakes in one meal?! Not many other places tbh! lol My husband and I went down Kapolei one morning and decided to see if Julie'Z wasn't too busy. There was about 2 parties in front of us so we figure we wait and see how long it was. Turns out it wasn't long at all and we were sitting in no time! Ordering is simple you just tell the waitress what you want and in a couple minutes your food is out and ready to pound. We had their special Lechilog, a combo of Lechon kawali and adobo fried rice omelette. Is it the best Lechon I eva had? No, but it's still winnahs! The inside is the same ol' same ol' Julie'Z I remember from school time. So if you're looking for high end dining you not getting it here. But you will get a great Filipino food experience!

I'm really sad that this place doesn't taste or appeal as much as it did before :(…read more First walking in we weren't welcomed in kindly. The waitress had an AirPod in 1 ear the whole time we were there. She wasn't very kind, but I understand the food industry is stressful. We ordered the pancit, adobo fried rice, short stack of pancakes, and kare-kare. The food still comes out fast, but maybe too fast. The pancit came out and it smelled really bad.

I used to go here all the time to get my filipino food fix. Unfortunately they closed the Kalihi…read morerestaurant and now have to make the drive out to Waipahu. If you have never been here I highly recommend you trying their filipino food. Portion size is good and worth the money but the main reason you're buying their food is cause it's winnahs. I did take out a few of their menu items. Their special for July is lechon Kawali, pancit, pork gisantes and pork adobo fried rice. It's good to get this or mixed plate with 3 choices. It allows to try more of their menu selections. While one is good 3 or 4 is much better especially if coming here for the very first time. You won't be disappointed. I called in to place my order and it would be twenty minutes which is fine cause that's how long it took me to get there. The food was hot and ready to go. I made sure my ac was off so I can enjoy a nice hot lunch. The place was crowded even at 1pm. People know good food when they eat it. Lots of parking. The lechon Kawali was good. It's nice and meaty with some nice soft fat pieces. Oh so good. Yeah if you are worried about cholesterol then this might not be for you. If not you gonna enjoy it. The pancit is good. The pork gisantes which is more commonly known as pork and peas is really good. It's like stew and you wanna mix your rice with it. If you like eggs over easy then you should have that over your gisantes. It's sooooooo good. Kinda like Loco moco except it's stew. When that yolk breaks and blends in with the gisantes hoo boy. Just really good stuff there. Then the main attraction is their pork adobo fried rice omelet. I believe they were the original restaurant that brought it out. I might be wrong but they make it just right. Every bite is so good especially when you bite into one that has fat in it. Yummy. Yeah not a good choice if you're staying away from cholesterol but if not you're gonna enjoy it. The pork adobo fried rice is not dry like some other places I've tried. Ok I admit i love filipino food. I had to get dinuguan. Chocolate meat. Another winner with rice and really good with over eggs on top of it. Nice tender succulent pieces of pork. Oh my God, it's so good. I also got Shanghai lumpia. This is da bomb. You gotta eat this one hot and fresh. If not it gets stale and soggy so I ate this first. You dip it into vinegar. I like a little heat so I add Tabasco to it. Great with beer. It's so good. I'm missing it already. Then the final dish i got was their sari sari. It's soup with mixed veggies, baby shrimp and lechon. The soup is delicious and comforting. It's great on a cold night or maybe when you're feeling sick. Better than your chicken noodle soup for sure. It's also great remedy for that hangover you got last night. Lol All in all you just gotta try it. Let me know what you got and how good it tasted. Enjoy and thank me later.

I called and made a complaint and all the lady said was , sorry! I asked to speak to the manager or supervisor and she said that they don't have one. WTF! I'm calling the owners tomorrow! My daughter took a bite and started chewing and felt something hard . I'm soo upset!! Update: 7/16/26 Called Melissa the owner to address this issue. She seemed very concerned and worried about my daughter who found it in her mouth. Thank God my 1-1/2 year old grandson didn't swallow it because he was eating it with my daughter!! Sooo dangerous ! Melissa will investigate this. Thanks Melissa. This taught me a lesson , as well as having a phobia . ALWAYS check your food when buying from restaurants or fast food. I Love eating and ordering pans of food at Elena's but I'll be very careful from now on.

The pork was soft and broke up in your mouth, the crispy pork was crunchy and juicy at the same time!

Service was as if you were at a daily function being served by that one aunty who just KNOWS you need to eat more. Very warm and kind.
