We stopped here for dinner on our first night in Maui, and it set the bar pretty high. The wait for food was a bit long, but honestly--it paid off. We went all in on the pork belly (no regrets ) and ordered the pork belly fried rice and the garlic noodles with pork belly. Both dishes were packed with flavor and super satisfying. The pork belly on the garlic noodles had that perfect crispy edge with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth center--easily the highlight. We went on a Sunday night, and the place had a fun, lively vibe. There are tables available, but it does get busy, so come with a little patience. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

We took night stroll in Kihei road and Yelp Happy Belly food truck . It's an Asian Fusion Buns and rice and wow the food was amazing. Input your order in their screen and pay at the same time . Very convenient. It isn't too busy since it's almost 8pm. So I got their Pulled pork slider with coleslaw, and sauce very tasty. The bun is soft and toasty on top. The Crispy pork bowl is so crispy not too oily . With rice it blended well , cucumber salad makes it refreshing. I would recommend this place for a night out of Kihei food truck experience. Ambiance ... Hawaiian breeze read more

The sliders were good, however the highlight for us was the Crisp Pork Belly. It came with rice, cilantro and a cucumber salad. The lobster fried rice was pretty good as well, but that pork belly is chef's kiss! read more

Staying in Kihei for the weekend and no plans for dinner yet, except for much needed R & R until we leave the hotel to get food. I checked Yelp and came across Maria's photo of the pork belly plate, that looked so good, then I did research on social media, Yelp photos, reading reviews and I am sold! Happy Belly it is! Not knowing where Happy Belly is located, I just know it is near the hotel, but what a bonus, that HB is located at South Maui Garden, I get to explore South Maui Garden before stopping at Happy Belly! Look for the Yellow Happy Belly Food Truck, I spot it right away on our walk around the premises, I already knew what I wanted to get , if paying by cash you place order at the window and credit cards are the self serve kiosk. Ordering was simple, wait was kind of long for food, due to how popular and busy Happy Belly was on a Saturday night. I wish I could order more but we were still full from late lunch & snacking. Happy Belly is your go to for delicious Asian fusion in Kihei, they have variety of slider buns, bao, noodles and rice bowl, made with the freshest ingredients. Although the panang curry with chicken katsu was on my mind to order too, I have to try this next time since I had chicken cutlet for lunch. I went with the pork belly rice plate (14.95) and lobster fried rice (22.95) . We enjoyed our plates back at our room and the verdict, YUMS., super tasty and our belly was for sure happy! My other half mentioned he enjoyed this meal more vs. where we went for lunch. I loved that pork belly, cooked just right, melts in your mouth so tender and with a nice crisp with fat belly. I loved the cucumber salad, I add the sauce from that on to my rice. The lobster fried rice was also so tasty delish! I have nothing bad to say about our meals, except for I am coming back again even if we don't stay at Wailea, I would ask my hubby to take me back here when we visit Maui again. All in all, 5 stars, made our belly happy and full. Check it out, I know your belly will be happy too! read more

Food was delicious and it's in an outdoor food truck court. Typical ambiance. Prices were decent. Be sure to check out the other side. I was happy with the food as it hit the spot for what I was craving. Workers were nice but I didn't hear them call my name so be sure to check if your food is done. You're sitting outdoors and there may be transients checking the trash for food. read more

We loved the fish sliders! We got the grilled option and they were amazing -- big slabs of fish with creamy coleslaw and a soft buttery bun. The fries were okay. The dipping sauce was unique! The fried rice was also really yummy and tasty, a hint of curry and sweet with the pineapple and raisins. read more

Another trip to Maui and four trips to Happy Belly! We ordered a panoply of dishes over the visit. A most favorite are the Ebi sliders. Fresh, crunchy, tender and great flavor. Panang Curry was tasty. We ordered it with the Deep Fried Pork Belly- crunchy and tasty. Ordered the Deep Fried Pork Belly over rice with a delicious sauce - sweet, salty with a little heat. The last day we ordered the Drunken Udon with Shrimp, Ebi Slider, and the Pork Bao Buns. The two new dishes the Udon was super tasty, with texture and excellent vegetables and shrimp. And the Baos... I had to fight my daughter to get a couple of bites. The pickle vegetables added a brightness. Overall obviously another great set of experiences. read more

I decided to try Happy Belly on a whim a couple of months ago as I wanted to try something different. Their Asian fusion menu incorporates Thai, Chinese, local favorites, and more to create an interestingly unique combination of dishes. From bao buns to sliders to udon drunken noodles, there's something for everyone. I have tried a handful of dishes and so far, I have loved every single one. * The pork belly rice bowl is a Thai style, crispy pork belly that is cooked to perfection. The thin coat of flour gives it a nice crispy outer layer and the meat is just so tender and delicious! It comes with a sweet chili sauce that I like to dip the pork in for that extra dose of flavor. * The udon drunken noodle comes with a handful of protein choices. So far I've tried the shrimp and crispy pork belly and both pair very well with the noodles. It's stir fried with veggies and has the perfect amount of spice. * The katsu panang curry is a fusion dish based on the locally loved chicken katsu curry dish. The katsu served over a bed of rice and topped with onions, bell peppers, peas, and carrots. Panang curry sauce is served on the side and is meant to be poured over the whole dish. This dish is the absolute winner here for me! I'm so glad my other half decided to try this dish because I fell in love at first bite. The katsu is perfectly friend and wow, I've never had panang curry before and I don't think I'd want it any other way now. SO GOOD! I can see why this dish is their best seller. No one else does it and I highly recommend it! Their slogan is "happiness is a full belly" and I truly agree. My belly is always happy when I have a meal here! Everything is packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice for me (for those that love spicy, probably want to ask for Thai spicy, haha). Everything seems to be made fresh to order and they give you buzzer while waiting. Don't sleep on this food truck. They're banging out quality dishes at reasonable prices! read more

Wow. Just wow. Honestly, easily my most favorite take out meal I've EVER had. The freshness of the shrimp, down to the presentation and flavor. Amazing. I'm bummed I only found this truck the last 2 days of my trip. Had I discovered it sooner I probably would've eaten here every day for either lunch or dinner. I definitely had it the last 2 days. Once for dinner, and once for lunch today. I will keep supporting this small business each time I return to the island. read more

Happy Belly - Shrimp Katsu Panang Curry - Food Trucks Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Happy Belly might have been my favorite meal from my entire trip to Maui - seriously, so good. We ordered the Lobster Fried Rice, Pork Belly Bao, Garlic Noodles with Pork Belly, and the Drunken Udon with Shrimp - and every single dish was a hit. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and packed with umami. The Pork Belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the noodles (both garlic and udon) were absolutely addictive. And that Lobster Fried Rice? Just next level. You can't go wrong with anything from this food truck. This place has such a fun, laid-back vibe, but the food is on definitely up there with the upscale spots. Don't skip it - Happy Belly definitely lives up to the name. read more

Great grub! I recommend the udon drunken noodle plate. Stir fried udon noodles with red bell pepper, white onion, peas and carrot, basil, chill basil sauce. Just that slight touch of spice made it so good. I highly recommend the crispy pork belly. Excellently prepared. It's like they slice it up first and then fry it because it was crispy all the way through and on the sides. So good. Service was great. Pay and you get a pager. There's a few benches under a make shift covering. It was pretty hot out so that shade helped a lot. The area looks pretty dingy but it was a great meal. read more

We found Happy Belly just outside of the Kihei Food Oasis and were tempted by the delicious smells. They offer a variety of Asian fusion foods like fried rice, noodles, and baos. There are also slider options if that's more your style. We came in between lunch and dinner hours so we just got a Pork Belly Rice to share. I wish we had more stomach space to try other items because it was really tasty! The pork belly was perfectly crispy and didn't feel too greasy. The sweet and tangy sauce also provided a great balance to the savory meat. read more

This was my favorite Thai spot on the island! Ordered the panang curry chicken katsu and pork belly garlic noodles and both were beautifully presented and tasted delicious! I also loved that they provided beepers to notify you when your order was ready so you could walk around and explore the area instead of standing around and waiting! Wish more food trucks in this area had that! read more

Happy Belly is a delicious food truck that you should definitely swing by, if you're in the area. Earlier today, I got the Pork Belly Bowl and it arrived fast, piping hot, delicious and tender. It's a simple dish that really hit home for me, especially since I grew up eating this during my childhood. I couldn't help, but smile after each bite. The pork was cooked to perfection with the right amount of crisp, juice and flavor. I was a little lukewarm about with the dipping sauce, but it was still a great meal! There's a small dining area in front of the truck, or you can take it to-go to a nearby beach. Both great options to enjoy this fantastic meal by Happy Belly! read more

Happy Belly - Garlic Drunken Noodles and Aloha Fried Rice - Food Trucks Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Confession - I've been here 4 times in the last couple of weeks, it quickly became a favorite. Consistently awesome, and wayyyy mo bedda pa nang than every Thai place from Kihei to Kahului. Definitely impressive! I can tell and taste that this chef has something special, perhaps it's experience , special training, lots of practice and cooks from the heart - a RARITY. I could be wrong, but at this stage I highly regard this place and hope it is consistent- I'll be trying everything on the menu. I usually get the chicken katsu panang, thought I've also had the drunken noodles, and found both to be pretty great, particularly the pa nang, one of my favorites dishes. I got it with medium spice, and it was PERFECT, which many places get wrong for some reason. The flavor of the dish works very well. One thing I also noticed is the more eco friendly and healthier to go boxes that they use- awesome, less microplastic and toxins. The food was very fresh. Definitely among my favorites places on Maui, and my only choice for a real Thai curry. read more

Fast service. Cooling and refreshing purple lemonade. Delicious sliders! Excellent chicken .

Ok, so I spent hundreds of dollars on food eating out while on Maui. From Monkeypod to Matteo's Osteria. They were both about a 3.5 star and way over priced. Happy belly's Bao's, pork belly, and garlic noodles were the best thing I ate the whole trip. I'm telling you it's clean and authentic food made with passion. Food trucks are where the good foods at not the over priced tourist spots on the beach. read more

A friend suggested Happy Belly as part of an ad hoc foodie tour and I'm so glad that he did! We were staying at a swanky Wailea resort and a bunch of us were craving excellent food, but didn't have the energy to participate in a sit-down dining experience. Luckily, we were able to pass a smartphone around and collect orders from everyone online while one person set out to pick it up. We were all overjoyed with delight while eating our takeout meals! I noshed on a variety of bao buns and my friends shared Panang curry and udon. We marveled at the superior quality of our meals, which were priced so well. 80% of our group revisited Happy Belly during our stay in Wailea, so that should give y'all an indication of how delicious this place is! We were hooked. Tip: order online beforehand for seamless pickup and takeout read more

Our favorite food truck in Maui so far. My wife and I got the drunken udon noodles with pork plus the lobster fried rice. Both of which made our bellies happy. The Fried Rice was so good my wife couldn't stop eating it and she normally doesn't like rice. The eating area had some annoying flies buzzing around but they were a minor inconvenience read more

Happy Belly absolutely lives up to the name. We had the drunken noodles with prawns and the pork katsu with rice, and both of us were windblown by how flavorful and perfectly executed the dishes were. The noodles were prepared perfectly, the prawns were juicy, and the katsu added a satisfying crunch. On taste alone, this is easily 5-star food. A few days later, we were poolside at Hotel Wailea with friends, and the conversation turned to food (as it does over drinks). We mentioned Happy Belly--and wouldn't you know it, our friends had also tried HB earlier in the week and raved too. That sealed it--we both ordered the same dishes again for delivery, and it hit the spot once again. They're a standout in a food park full of strong contenders. Don't let the casual food truck setup fool you-- The food is on point and we'd go back in a heartbeat! A++ read more

This is our go-to at least once a week. We like their crispy pork belly rice,  bacon cheeseburger sliders, and bao(pork belly and fried chicken).  The crispy pork belly comes with jasmine rice and nuoc cham. That sauce goes with so much (like garlic fried rice). This is my favorite dish here.  They are several slider options- fried shrimp, Philly cheesesteak, and bacon cheeseburger. You can order three of the same sliders or individual sliders. Sliders are served with crinkle cut fries and come up fry sauce. You can order online or call in your order. There is a parking lot next to Happy Belly and its neighboring food carts.  Friendly service, good food, and parking.  They're located off South Kihei Road, behind the 76 gas station. read more
