Poke Combo with Kalua Pig
Chelsea B.

As a local here the poke was very good, fresh and was one of my favorite poke spots in Kahuku a couple of months ago. But the past 2 recent times I went, the poke has been very chewy, hard texture and doesn't taste fresh (more like frozen). Its unfortunate and I hope the consistency of the fish goes back to being more fresh.

Got the Hawaiian poke bowl, fish was very fresh, nice spice to it. (Only $12) My son got the Kalua pig bowl (on special for $10) said it was his favorite of the trip so far. Service was fast, super good aloha vibe. Anytime I can eat outside under and umbrella makes me happy.

I've tried everything on menu and food is always great. Good service as well. My favorite is the spicy poke nachos and squid luau/ kalua pig/ lau lau combo...

Heard about these guys about a week ago. Wife and I went out north so we stopped on our way back. The located in the parking lot of waikane church with lots of parking. Wife and I tried the fat poi plate, the only thing was the was out of lau lau. But the food is tasty and made just right. The Kalua wasn't salty like some people make it, the squid luau was very good. Try um out and support local!

Ahi Poke Bowl Hawaiian Style
Amy K.

The Hawaiian style poke was EXCELLENT! I don't usually stop mid meal to review food on Yelp but people should definitely try this place. Great flavor from the fish, a nice touch of hot sauce, a little sweetness, and good portion size for the price too. Yum

Cute lil food truck
Rose S.

Awesome poke bowls! Fish is fresh and the spicy sauce was winnaz. Tastes freshly made, they even add crispy fried onions on top. Super tasty! Happy PCC gained a good place to eat. Live nearby and will definitely be back

A delicious food truck.

By now, anyone who is a fan knows their food so rather than another review, some tips for securing that last taste. 1. They are in a cellular dead zone. All calls made to their number from a cell phone will fail to connect. You MUST call using a land line phone (those things plugged in the wall with physical buttons to press). BUT... 2. They do not answer their phone if they are busy helping customers. Good luck. SO... 3. Go early and order in person. Popular items like the roast pork and hamburger steak sell out by 10am. Others like the kalbi and pulehu shrot ribs by 11:30. 4. Be patient. The wait time is 45min - 1hr. It is accurate. Use the time to grab poke and drinks in neighboring Laie or Kahuku. It's all worth it. Same loaded plates. Same nostalgic taste. Same aloha delivered with a smile. One last time.

My personal favorite is the kalbi ribs. They've got that backyard BBQ taste that feels like a homecooked meal, and it's usually what I end up ordering. Simple, comforting, and it just hits. I also love grabbing food here and taking it down the street to eat at the beach. It's one of those meals that feels even better when you're eating it by the water. I just read that they may be closing soon, and if that's true, thank you for all the delicious meals over the years and wishing the team nothing but the best moving forward.

Whenever I need an Ahi Katsu fix, Ken's Fresh Fish in Laie is our absolute go-to destination. On our last trip, we decided to try the Opah Katsu alongside our usual order, and wow! Both had the most absolute perfect crunch! The fish is incredibly fresh, perfectly fried, and drizzled beautifully with sauce. It is worth every bit of the drive from the Ewa . Outstanding flavor, great quality, and a definitive must-stop if you're up on the North Shore. 10/10!

The fresh ahi katsu, huge! 14-16oz, panko crusted and deep fried medium or well done. It is topped with a combo of sweet katsu sauce and garlic mayo all over a bed of rice and a simple pile of dressed lettuce. Always look for the second fresh fish of the day. If available, the ono done katsu style eclipses the ahi. Just the nature of the fish, it is more tender and moist. Total weight is again, about a pound. Note: Fish can also be prepared in garlic butter. It's good but come on, garlic butter vs deep fried in a crispy coating? Good selection of half pound pre weighed containers of fresh ahi poke (ahi sesame ogo, just sayin') and fresh fish filets including ahi, mahi, ono, and marlin. Go early for best selection. Inexpensive. As of November 2025, $16/regular plate. Fresh fish filets, $7.50 / lb less than Costco. Fresh poke, $10/half pound. Cash or card. Same price. No nonsense counter service. Takeaway only. IMPORTANT: they are not active on socials. Last minute closures are posted on their door. Have a backup plan of where to eat ready. All that said, the best and based on the crowd of locals every visit, word is out.

Kolohe Cafe is located in with several other food trucks at Kahuku Sugar Mill. As such, parking can sometimes be a concern if you arrive during prime time, and even more so on a weekend. I visited for a late lunch on a weekday, and though it was busy, there were plenty of spots available nearby. They've got an amazing menu to choose from with many options averaging around $20 after tax and time. Ultimately I settled on the Korean Fried Chicken that was served with slaw and sticky rice. The chicken hit the spot perfectly with a mix of sweet and savory that's hard to top after a 4 hour hike, and the chilled slaw was very refreshing. Staff was very friendly and prompt to assist. As for the ambiance, it's nice to have the beachside breeze as you sit at the shaded picnic tables located just outside the ordering area. Just be prepared for the wind to suddenly pick up as well as the potential for flies to be persistent in trying your tasty meal. Give this place a shot! You won't be disappointed.

Little nice restraint with 3 - 4 seated tables and 4 high-top 2 seated. Very small so during busy hours prob can't find seats.

For $22 that is a steal! For once the meat portion is bigger than the rice! My husband and I shared 1 entree and 1 appetizer and we were stuffed, actually couldn't finish the whole thing. The owner?

He seemed perfectly fine with his meal. My husband ordered their bi bim bap which tasted fairly good when all the ingredients, including raw, shredded purple cabbage, sesame seed oil, and kochujang sauce were mixed together. Unfortunately, fresh, orange colored egg yolk wasn't runny. The orange colored egg yolk didn't satisfy my palate. I ordered their kim chee fried rice because out of all the photos I saw in the restaurant, this dish popped right out and looked very appealing. My husband and I agreed that this entree was super spicy. There was some type of yellow, melted topping in the middle that didn't go well with this dish. Sprinkled furikake didn't jive well and threw off my taste buds. Orange colored egg yolk lacked the runny effect and did not appeal to my palate. This is the first place that didn't have chopsticks. My husband asked for chopsticks on my behalf because he knows I like to use them whenever possible. Instead, I kindly asked the worker for a spoon. There's only forks, knives and spoons. Workers were very courteous. Interior design has a variety of colors with a few tables and seats. Free, limited parking in the small lot.

I parked next to the well-known shrimp truck but when I turn my head, I saw the blue truck that was featured in Netflix. So I decided to walk over the hill unfortunately this truck closed at 2 PM for the day. Looking at the distance, I saw seven Brothers and heard a lot of good things about this burger joint. After after browsing the menu, I saw that they did have the garlic shrimp plate and decided on the combo of the garlic shrimp and garlic ahi. I also ordered a drink and and the largest size they had is a medium size at other fast food places however the very sweet counter girl did let me know that refills are free. Sister number one ordered the sandwich Sister number two ordered the regular garlic shrimp plate and my brother-in-law ordered the Seth burger. While we were able to find a table in the patio area, although they also have seating indoors available. As told by the counter girl, our meal would be delivered in about 15 minutes and it came in just under that time We all like our own dishes. The only complaint is that the regular garlic shrimp plate only head six shrimp and they were on the smaller size compared to the other garlic shrimp trucks in the area. To our surprise there was a young girl that's approached her table asking how arm you was and if we needed anything like more sauce, and we did ask her for a knife. And we thought that was a nice touch for counter, ordering and outdoor dining. I do recommend this place for burgers and the however for garlic shrimp plate I do recommend trying one of the other shrimp trucks
