fun find - actually it's just been on my list of go to for a long while and i just havent gotten to it until now! 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. read more

GiAiLex Kichen Food Truck at Pearl City Industrial Park Got the Asian Style Ribs and Lechon Mix Plate from GiAiLex Kitchen Food Truck located in Pearl City Industrial Park right across the Aloha Shoyu Warehouse. Braddah George pumps out some of the Best Plate Lunches and this plate was another BANGAH right here. Came here hungry and left ready for Moi Moi. 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 read more

I called and left a message. They called me back. He was closing up shop and said he'd wait for me. Their garlic chicken is so flipping good. I can't say it enough. Anytime I have to travel this side, I automatically think about this garlic chicken. I keep forgetting to try the lechon and sub fried rice. Dang! I'll be back! EDIT: Forgot to add. I don't know how it was only ~12 bucks. Bless this food truck, guys! read more

Came back again and remembered to take photos! I came around 11am on a Friday.... It's best to come before the lunch rush or expect the wait. Luckily my parallel parking skills are expert level and I was able to squeeze my Camry into this spot right in front of their van. I noticed that there were about 8-10 people standing on the sidewalk and they all had already placed their orders. I walked right up and ordered 4 plates (my coworkers and I) and then went back into my car to enjoy my ac while I waited. Id say it took about 30-40 minutes for my order to be ready.... There were a few people that came after me too. Second time here and I'm still a fan. I figured out why I like their kawali so much... I'm a cilantro fan and noticed that they used cilantro on their Lechon Kawali... it gives it that nice flavor. If you're dna is the weird one, cilantro may not be your thing. They don't use a lot so I'm sure you'll still enjoy their kawali. This time I had their kawali/Kalbi plate. Last time I had their kawali/garlic chicken plate. Not sure which one is better but I guess it would depend on your food for the day. I attached some photos to my review this time. Enjoy! read more

Hungry AF. Open the weighty container to reveal a steaming hot kalua pig loco moco. Things are about to get nasty! 30 minutes later, passed out. Kanak attack badge of honor. Outstanding local plate lunches with a Filipino touch. No complaints on the simple flattop grilled fresh mahi. Absolutely none for the massive kalua pig loco moco. And yes, the gravy taste like it is a mix of a scratch made thickened and enhanced using a packaged mix, all good as it goes so well with the smoke flavor of the pork, becomes even more unctuous with the egg yolks. Sub adobo fried rice with no upcharge. Not sampled this visit. Inexpensive. Everything $15 and under. Located in the Pearl City Industrial Park. Look for the blue and white food truck near the National Guard Armory. Street parking only. Tip: Go before lunch rush. This is a one man operation. Next time, lechon kawali or maybe an ahi katsu? Worthy. read more

I went here after I saw a TikTok review. It's locatied in the Pearl City Industrial Park (in front of the Hawaii National Guard Armory). I wanted the Lechon, but it was sold out. I got the Kalbi plate instead. The plate lunch was good. Prices and portions were good also. Will go again the next time I'm in the area. read more

Was looking to check out someplace new to have lunch and my brother suggested this one lunchwagon called GiAilex Kitchen that is located in the Pearl City Industrial Park area. Says his daughter-in-law had eaten a meal served by this vendor when Jo Koy was performing in town at the Blaisdell Arena and strongly recommended their Lechon Kawali. I looked at Yelp and only saw this one review who so happened to be my brother's daughter in law. She's saying it's good, so heck ok ... let's go try it! Info says the lunch wagon parks just outside street side of the Hawaii National Guard Armory. Since the lunchwagon competes for parking like everybody else in the area, it may be parked either on the left side or on the right side as one enters the industrial area. As we drove by, we found parking availability to be hard to come by and so we turned around and found parking maybe a hundred yards past the truck. A nice stroll with nothing sketchy to watch out for in that area. There were no other customers as we came 'early' at about 10:40am to avoid the lunch rush and also to take into consideration how far we may have to park away from the lunchwagon. Looking at the menu for a few minutes and I finally decided on my choices. Didn't know it was a one-person operation until I stood front and center to start ordering. I chose to get two plate lunches because you know... if this is a jewel in the rough, best to get more than one plate if the food is really good not to miss! Decided on the Lechon Kawali plate ($15) and one of his lesser priced plate, the Hamburger Steak ($12). Somewhat unusual to see a menu that didn't serve the usual plate lunches like chicken katsu, shoyu chicken, teri beef plates, etc but appeared to have 'better' choice selections in local, Hawaiian and Filipino entrees. He was a quiet spoken man that didn't say much ---- perhaps because he had never served us before and perhaps would talk more to his established clientele in that area. Anyway my brother also ordered two plates, so he had to start working on our four plate lunches. What got me was choice options of sides to go with the entree such as fried rice and toss salad at no extra cost (besides the usual white rice and mac salad that comes standard on a plate lunch). I chose the fried rice and mac salad for the Lechon Kawali and white rice and toss salad for the Hamburger Steak plates. He uses pork belly for the lechon. It looked like he started to work on our Hamburger Steak and Pork Chops plates first before tackling the Lechon Kawali pkates that we both ordered. As he was cooking the foods, I asked him what GiAilex stood for? He said they were the first few letters of his three children so now you know... Close to fifteen minutes and he has completed all four plate lunches and each of our two plates are put inside plastic bags to carry. Saw that he puts the ranch (?) dressing on the toss salad before closing the lid. He takes cash or card... no service fee if you are using plastic which I appreciated. Tax is 4.17% (old school GET rate of 4.167%), a savings here instead of the 4.712% GET establishments on Oahu island can charge. He does catering too, even though it's not shown (but since my brother asked for a catering menu). Ask him and he will text the catering menu to your phone. Got home to eat portions of each plate lunch and was surprised to see the fried rice was pork adobo fried rice (geez, at no additional cost!). The Lechon Kawali was savory, flavorful and not overpowering. The Pork belly slices had a crisp skin, I wouldn't call it crisPY but crisp. His slices are cut larger like when buying roast pork from a Chinatown vendor. He uses cherry tomatoes and his culinary skills appear to be of a higher level than regular lunchwagons that serve local plate lunches Attractive presentations on both my plates! Some will like it that way while others may want it chopped smaller. I am guessing as this is a one-person operation, he is using his time efficiently. On the hamburger steak, these two hamburgers were homemade and lightly seasoned so you can taste the sliced shiitake mushrooms, sauteed onions and dark brown gravy that he also puts on the two scoops of rice (didn't have to say gravy all over!). What flavor and WHAT a bargain at just $12! The compostable fork, spoon and napkin come enclosed in a wrap so you won't lose any utensils. Some places are cheap and just hand you chop sticks for any of their plate lunches but not here! Though I would have liked the skin of the lechon a little more crunchiER, perhaps this is HIS interpretation of how it should be served. I respect that. I originally was going to give this review four stars rating but thought more about his way of thinking and have upgraded it to five stars! Well worth it! Hoping for more success--- he may need additional staff help when it comes SOON ! Brother and I are glad to have tried this place and plan on coming here again! read more

Heard this place was good..and it did not disappoint at all. I came and ordered the Lechon plate. Let me say "kanakattack"after eating this plate. I ordered mine with rice and Mac..next time I think I will order it with just salad. Reason is I would use the vinegar mix they toss the lechon with as a dressing. My first impression when I saw the lechon was Korean style. There were red chili flakes with cilantro..but there was also onions and tomatoes which was different from what I'm used too. None the less..it was delicious. Food truck had two workers and service was fast..didn't wait that long since we went after lunch..lol. Will come back again for sure!! read more

My niece bought us lunch raving about the Kawali So we shared that, a kalbi chicken wings and a fried noodles with boneless chicken thigh plate. It was very tasty. It's a food truck in Pearl City, since my niece works in Pearl City. She likes the service, which is great! Would recommend if you want tasty food! read more

First tried this place during Jo Koy's show and got their Pancit with Lechon kawali. I tried the Lechon and wow I think it's the best Lechon I've ever tasted! The skin was so crispy and the pork was tender. The tomatoes and onions were so full of flavor from the sauce they put on. I tried to find out where they were located and finally found them! I ordered another plate of the Lechon kawali. It wasn't cut the same as the one I got during Jo Koy's but the flavor was still there and the crispy skin!! Yummmm. The plate came with two sides and I chose salad and Mac salad. Both were delicious with the Lechon. Soooo good! I hope they stay in business for a long long time because I don't think I've ever tasted Lechon this good!! They are currently located at the Army national guard in Pearl city. Usually open Monday to Friday from 5am-1pm. They're in a blue food truck. read more
