Great food for great price…read more I was in the area and found this on Yelp. The plaza is a pretty decently sized one with an Asian supermarket in it. As such, parking can be busy but there is plenty of parking. It was lunchtime so I ordered ahead on Doordash. Spam Musubi: At time of writing, they had a Doordash BOGO deal. The musubi was really tasty and the ratio of rice to spam was perfect in my opinion. Not too much rice like some other places and the spam slice was a good size. Half and half plate: I got BBQ chicken and chicken katsu. This thing was huge. I enjoyed both chickens and the mac salad that came with this. I got so much in my order that I split this meal into 3 separate meals. This place definitely gets busy at lunch time so I would recommend ordering ahead or plan to wait a little. Inside the restaurant, there is not too much seating and it seems like most people take the food togo. Overall, 100% would recommend!

Craving some comfort Hawaiian food? This is the place for you! Let's talk portions: HUGE - honestly…read moreeach portion generally feeds us for at least 2 meals. There are a ton of great choices. My husband always gets the Lau Lau - when we go to Hawaii he always has to get plate lunch, this fits the bill and then some. Chicken katsu is awesome - really tasty, great crunchy outside. The sauce is a bit sweeter than I like it, but I generally just eat it without. I have done both the mixed BBQ chicken and beef - and then I also have done them as single option, always delicious. Again, great portion size. And I get it with broccoli, which is just steamed and super fresh tasting, absolutely love it. We love the appetizers - spring rolls and gyoza - so you get a little bit of everything here. Gyoza appetizer size is so generous - 10 usually? Hubby also gets sesame balls, not my jam, but he loves them! Actually if they had jam, I might like em, ha! I think they are meant to purposely not be too sweet, which they meet that requirement.

I was quite stuffed from eating pizza and wings, but I couldn't let him go hungry so we came to Hukilau for dinner. Soon as you enter there is a seating area right there. High tables and regularly hight tables. The back wall is a full bar. As you approach the cash register you can can see that there is another room in back. We were greeted by a waiter that led us to a table in back. They have sets of tables around the outer edge and tables all pushed together in the center. The menu is pretty extensive. We ordered the Salmon Poke bowl that had rice along with the salmon and a side of macaroni salad. There were other sides to choose from, but all my friends rave about Hawaiian macaroni salad so I order it. The macaroni salad was only ok. I'm just not a macaroni salad type of girl. The poke was good. The salmon was fresh and didn't taste too fishy. We also ordered the Mahi Mahi grilled with rice and macaroni salad. We split both plates. I've never have filets of Mahi Mahi before. They always seem to arrive in square shapes or something that resembles a square. I was really impressed by the Mahi Mahi. It had great flavor without needing the tarter sauce. It wasn't fishy at all and was well salted and peppered. I highly reccomend the Mahi Mahi platter. The ambiance was ok, nothing special. Defiantly not romantic. I guess it's good for families and groups. There were 2 familes of 6 dining with us. The back room was spacious and I don't know how to describe it, but i lacked a Hawaiian flair. We could have been sitting on picnic benches and it would have been given the same flair. If you are looking for Hawaiian food you've come to the right place. Just know there isn't an island feel to it.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by that very familiar Hawaiian food smell. The location was very clean, and the workers were friendly. I placed my order and sat down. The place was pretty busy, but most of the orders seemed to be for pickup and to-go. Unfortunately, we still had to keep driving before eating our food, so by the time we got home, my seafood mix was not as crunchy as I would have liked. However, that was 1000% my fault and not theirs. The flavors of everything were great, and overall, I would definitely come back if I was ever back in the area.

Given the short…read moretimeframe and large order size, they delivered everything quickly while serving great quality food. The service was fast, organized and the food was consistently great. If you're looking for a catering food truck for a small lunch window that delivers high quality and very quick service, I HIGHLY recommend Fire and Rice. Their Hawaiian Asian fusion menu is unique and stands out compared to other Asian or poke trucks I've tried. The garlic shoyu chicken and tuna poke were my personal favorites. I tried some of my coworkers garlic shrimp & Miso tofu too...surprisingly pretty GOOD! With inflation being what it is, their food is absolutely worth the price, and they were also flexible and willing to work within our reasonable budget. I can't recommend them enough. For catering inquiries, It was a little difficult getting them on the phone so we played phone tag a lot. I suggest texting or emailing Micah or Jessica for the quickest response, as they're often busy on the truck or during service.

Final Thoughts: 4.33/5…read more They were our caterer for a work party. This is a food truck and they seem to have everything ready to be served to us. Asian fusion foods are typically my go-to choice and so I was very excited that they were providing us food today. Food: Garlic Fried Chicken Bowl: 4.3/5 The sauce on this is divine with the chicken. It's like an unagi sauce with garlic in it. It has some saltiness, sweetness, and that umami flavor. Garlic taste and scent is present, but not too overpowering, which I really enjoyed. That flavor is great, but some places really overdo it for me. Just a personal preference though. For the chicken itself, it's very tender and juicy on the inside and still has some of that nice crunch on the outside. Perhaps this is because the cut of meat is the chicken thigh. It's not super crispy because I don't believe this is being fried to order for us. Seems to be food held in a warmer until its ordered. Kimchi was the side that they had provided with this dish and I am here for that. Some people aren't the biggest fan of this and I saw that from the looks my coworkers gave it. Personally, very much enjoyed it though. That sourness and spice from the kimchi just balances out this bowl really well. The veggies are nice and crispy. Gives it that freshness. Also, very slight detail and addition, but I always enjoy the sesame seeds and furikake sprinkle as a garnish. There's a nice nuttiness to it that they provide as a simple garnish. Spicy Tuna Poké: 4.0/5 This item was alright. The flavor was also really good, but I did get tired of eating just one type of poke protein. Typically when I go to get poke, it's 2 to 3 scoops of different proteins with various sauces to change up the flavor. I did get tired of this one after a few bites. The flavor of this item was very good though. There's a nice kick from it and the flavor tastes like a mix of kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sriracha, and sugar. Very simple, but you can't go wrong with those flavors. For the side, they added seaweed salad. Again, not your average side dish. Personally, I enjoyed it, but it might not be a common or familiar side dish for other individuals. It has a nice sweetness and nuttiness to it. For texture, there's a nice bite to it, which is ncie since the tuna is very soft and doesn't contribute much to the texture component. Menu: Small Their menu seems quite limited, but again, that is normal for a food truck, I believe. The items they provide do it just fine for me. I appreciate that they also have an option for the vegetarians. The menu we were provided was limited to 4 items, which is fine since the scale of this party wasn't anything too wild and we were able to satisfy everyone with what they provided. --------- Quality: Alright The quality of the food seems OK. It came out within a few minutes for us and I don't think it takes just a few minutes to fry that piece of chicken. I could be wrong though, so no one quote me on that. Just an observation. Not the highest expectations because their limited to the space and area in general. The product they provide is very good though. Overall, for something that has raw seafood in it, it seemed quite fresh and tasty. The items aren't made to order either and it's more assemble and serve to order, but again, they seem to be making it work with the product that they are selling. Price: Estimated Because this was a catering event, I am actually unaware of how much my administrator paid for the food. What I know is that she paid for a certain amount of bowls. From the looks of this item though, I want to estimate the price of each bowl being around $16 to $20 depending on the food item provided. Seems quite average for a bowl of food these days. Service: Quick and fast Because most of the food is already prepared and ready, the interaction with them itself is very limited. They took our order and provided us with the food. Nothing too significant to note and that is to be expected with the food truck. They were very sweet though and explained the menu items to be when I had a question. Ambiance: Simple and cute food truck The design on their food truck is so cute. The riceball is my favorite because it has this very cute face and just looks darling to me. The outside has a simple design with the name and logo on top and then perhaps some of the food items they provide written on the bottom section of the truck. Doesn't seem like anything too fancy, but simplicity is best for me. Location/Parking: Wherever they travel and navigate to Because they're a food truck, they can drive to you, which is really convenient. On Yelp, it states that their located on 36 Commercial Street in downtown, which might be where their truck is serving most of the time. Again, it is a food truck though, so they have the ability to drive to you and travel around to their customers, which is quite convenient is reaching a broader group of people.

The musubi did fall apart but only because it was so massive. It's one of the bigger musubis I've ever had! I loved the teriyaki chicken with rice. Sometimes, all you need is chicken and rice! That is enough to bring me joy! The amazing part was there was a dispenser for teriyaki sauce and katsu sauce. I've never seen that before! It's usually ketchup or mustard. That was a game changer.
