    Mac Salad
    Steven T.

    We were looking for some good bites on the island and saw this place being recommending. I got some staple Hawaiian dishes like loco moco, spam Musubi and mac salad. The food tasted like a home cooked meal - tasty, hearty and umami. The combination of the rich egg yolk and gravy over everything made for a great bite. The Musubi was good as well, but a bit rice heavy for my liking. Overall a tasty local food truck that serves some good homemade Hawaiian food! Entrees: Loco Moco Sides: Spam Musubi and Mac Salad

    Mochiko Chicken
    Vivian T.

    Was lured in by the local music and decided to give it a shot. We ordered the mochiko chicken to share along with a beer from the Double Bluff brewery who they share a space with and it was pretty good! The mochiko chicken breading was a bit more darker than usual and that makes me think that the oil they fried it in was older. Other than that, the dish was pretty good. The mac salad was great and the portioning was awesome as well. If I were on Whidbey again and craving something local (Hawaiian), I'd come back!

    Food was Ono. Mix plate portion kinda small for the price. Hawaiian food. Hawai'i price. Probably the best Mac salad in WA in a Hawaiian plate. Service was good. The vibe was awesome.

    This is the perfect food truck to work with a brewery. The food was so incredibly tasty and the menu had so many options. We went on a really busy Saturday - it was the first warm and sunny weekend day of the year. We went to order pretty late in the evening and they said it would be about an hour wait but the menu looked so good that I figured I would be okay to wait. Come to find out - the food came out shockingly fast. I swear we only waited 15 minutes and then it was ready. I ordered a spam masubi with a side of mac salad and my fiancé got the teriyaki cheeseburger. All of which was phenomenal. I've told all my friends that they need to try this place next time they are looking to get food out. I will certainly be back soon.

    Spam Musubi ($4.50) 10/10 recommend!

    This is a great little spot serving Double Bluff Brewery in Langley. The Spam Musubi ($4.50) was very memorable and the perfect light lunch to go with a cold beer. It's a food truck, so you order at the window but they conveniently give you a little buzzer so you can wait inside where it's warm. Kids are allowed in the brewery making this an ideal lunch spot.

    The food was good. The portion was good. Overall experience was great love the music and the sauces. They had the best part was seeing that they had Tabasco, which I always have with my local moco.

    We were excited to find a place with local menu items. It was a little tricky to find thinking that this was a restaurant. It's a food truck that's partnered with a brewery. We ordered the chicken katsu, spam musubi, and loco moco. We waited about 20 minutes for our food. The spam musubi was probably the best out of the 3 items. Portions were okay considering the price. The loco moco patty lacked flavor, was overcooked and dry. There wasn't much gravy and the eggs were well done making it difficult to mix like you would with a Hawaii loco moco. The mac salad was the best part of the plate. The chicken katsu was okay.

    This is a food truck in the backyard of double bluff brewing co. There were some outdoor tables for double bluff brewing that we could use if we ordered drinks from there and food from ikaika bistro. Food took about 15-20 mins to prep which was adequate time to order some drinks and find a spot outdoor. We were very impressed by the quality and taste. We ordered pan seared mahi mahi which was comparable to any high end restaurant. The noodles and kimchi fried rice were both flavorful (and had vegan options). Spam musubi was well liked by everyone. We came in here due to a long wait at other places around for our large party. At the end we were happy we did as the food was definitely more delicious than the places we tried to get to before.

    What a find! This food truck is nestled in the back patio of Double Bluff Brewery and has an extensive menu with lots of delicious options. We ordered the pork katsu, fish & chips, spam musubi, and mixed plate. The pork katsu was likely my favorite, closely followed by the spam musubi and fish & chips, and then the mixed plate (the mixed plate was still tasty, but a tad sodium-forward for my taste!). The food is absolutely worth checking out, but since they prepare everything to order, be prepared to wait for your order (ours took approximately 30 minutes). I'd recommend placing your order and then getting a drink inside to wait it out. In summary, definitely come support this small business!

    I have been wanting to eat at The Braeburn for a while now and was excited to have the opportunity…read moreto check it out this past weekend. It is a popular spot, so expect to wait! Put your name on the list and then wander a bit, you can work up an appetite. We had a lovely meal. I had the northwest scramble, and it was full of tasty bites of salmon and mama lil's peppers. Husband had the Reuben and was unable to finish it as it was a fairly large portion. The staff is some of the sweetest I've experienced. They were kind and friendly throughout our experience, even though some patrons were less than nice about the wait times. Well worth the wait!

Theres plenty to see so it didn't feel like a long wait. Husband got the breakfast burrito. He said it was really good, only con was that the salsa that came with it was like an ice slushy which would have preferred not cold. I got the salmon hash which I thought was one of the best hashes I've tried. The eggs and potatoes were seasoned and cooked perfectly and there was a lot of salmon - good ratio of everything. Only other con was that after we got seated we waited 30 mins to get our food. But service was really good and we could tell the cooks were busy with other tickets. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back if we're on Whidbey again!

    We spent our Valentine's Day lunch here and it was a great choice with our favorite foods!…read moreThe upper floor dining area is elegant and spaced out enough not to feel cramped. Service was attentive and friendly as usual. We were quickly seated for our reservations. The tartare and mussels are our go-tos for appetizers. The tartare may be a challenge for some folks but the freshness of the meat with the richness of the egg yolk, on toasted bread, is beyond delightful. I might just have that as my main entree one day! The mussels were perfect and the broth it was boiled in was so tasty we had to bring the remainder home with us! My bride had the hanger steak (rare) which came out gorgeously seared and juicy on the inside. The shoestring fries are addictive! I could not resist having my lamb burger (med-rare). What more can I say? The arugula on some mayonnaise, the bit of salsa, the moist and generously sized burger with a touch of lime(?) and perhaps some ginger(?), on a bun that tasted freshly baked. No sauce needed. We had a pitcher of rose which was delightfully light and fruity, which went well with our meal. A wonderful way to celebrate Love!

    We wanted to go to wander shops and get a nice Saturday night dinner out and we chose to drive down…read moreto Langley. We made reservations for two that morning. We enjoy Langley and the lights and shops were great to visit. We showed up just before our 5 PM reservation and the hostess was standing at her computer. My wife asked about sitting on the heated outdoor area because it smelled odd in the dining room. She said it was full (it wasn't) but then still looking at her screen said if we could wait a bit they can make a table available. We gladly waited for a few minutes. There were three to four open tables both inside and outside and she sat us at a two top in the corner next to the door. My wife asked if we could get out of the corner but no go. Then she asked if we could just fit inside then? Now the hostess didn't want to accommodate that and when asked what happened to the table inside she intended to give us originally the hostess, in a rather snotty tone, said to my wife "you only made your reservation today!". That isn't the way to address my wife! She told her that we would just go somewhere else. Crickets from this hostess....no effort to please us so gone we were! We haven't been here for a year since the food was not that great last time and cannot compare at all to other better French restaurants on the east coast and our trips to France. We just thought we'd they it again for a nice holiday weekend meal. We went right across the street to a truly packed Village pizzeria, they kindly fit us in at a great bar seating and we got to watch the LA bowl and Huskies and enjoy our usual Village Pizza, caesar, and a couple of rounds of drinks. Excellent and friendly service! We won't be returning now recommending Prima Bistro again. We often tell guests and friends that it's likely a better choice than Saltwater next door. We are getting tired of the "finer" dining on Whidbey that is often overpriced, unreliable, and un accommodating compared to similar dining elsewhere. This was a good example. And at 7 PB appeared almost empty from our view from the street!
