I was on my way to Shabuya and ended up finding this food truck along the way as a happy accident…read more As a casual daily helper, I'm always looking at Yelp to help me find my next meal, so naturally I've heard of Laverne's for a while. When I found this food truck, I immediately wanted to stop by and see what the hype was about. I visited about 30 minutes before closing. The only thing they had run out of was the chop steak and one other protein, which wasn't too big of a deal for me. My eye was on the beef stew. Growing up in a Filipino household, I knew this dish as "caldareta." My dad would make this for me all the time. I asked for a bowl to go so I could enjoy it for dinner later. The first bite instantly sent me back to my family's home kitchen, where I would come home from school and find a pot of beef stew waiting for me. What I love about Hawaii is that it has a blend of cultures that I truly appreciate as a foodie, and experiences like this feel like a nostalgia tour. Thank you for this delicious meal. It made me miss my mom and dad a little more than I usually do. Food not only nourishes us, but also brings us back to a moment in time. I thank Laverne's for that.

One of them suggested Lacoy's and since I had read about them through the page, I also wanted to go too! They open at 11:30 and you can drive through this gate, when it's open, into the parking lot. My crazy @$$, drove along the side of the building and went to where they were. The owner, Shawna, told us we needed to wait in the parking lot. LOL! When she said they were ready, we ordered the shrimp and the bbq chicken. Since it was Wednesday, we got the special which came with all the sides. The chicken was sooooooo tender! The shrimp were nice and crispy! Loved the mac n cheese and those greens with the bacon... Soooooooo good! Nice butter corn and cornbread! Oh, and we got lumpia too...and you need to go early or they will be sold out! Shawna also gave a sample of the shrimp and catfish while we were waiting. That was really nice of her. This is one of those not so hidden gems worth driving to! If you're on your way to the North Shore, make a stop and grab some lunch! You won't be disappointed! Mahalo Lacoy's!

Monday, 7/28/2025 - Saw this Korean BBQ & Sushi. But for some is called Waianae Kalbi & Sushi Mart…read moreon Yelp and Google. Restaurant address is 86-120 Farrington Hwy, Ste C306, Waianae, HI 96792. Maybe they just changed their restaurant name? I don't know. We decided to try them and see how it is. Upon arrival.... Pros 1) large parking lot. Plenty of parking. 2) lots of other small shops here. I see Long's drugs, Team Mibile, Pizza Hut, etc here, just to name a few. 3) we were the only one there. I see one lady at the cash register. She took our orders. She smiley and nice. 4) we ordered the Special for $18.99. We got chicken katsu cones with rice and 4 sides. We also got the Shrimp Temp Maki for $11.99 + 2 drinks. 5) it's also a mini mart. They have a few other items got sale here too. See pictures. 6) love all the sides I picked. Rice tasted good. Cons 1) I didn't see a bathroom. Maybe I should have asked. 2) shrimp tempura maki roll was not very good. The other person who ate this roll was not very impressed. I tried a piece and it was just ok. I've had better. But we didn't get wasbi and ginger with it. We had to ask for soy sauce. They don't provide it unless you ask. 3) Most of our chicken tempura was over cooked. It was very chewy and hard to eat. There were a few pieces that was not over cooked and still good to eat. We didn't like our plate. But we ate it anyways just because we already paid for it. 4) Conclusion We weren't very impress with this market/restaurant. Foods weren't good. But the cashier lady was nice. Food sides were good. There was only 1 small table and another table that fits 4 people, inside restaurant. They do have a few items for sale. Not going here for food again. But maybe shop for items instead. You may like the foods here better than me/us.

I ordered a Pastele Plate that included 1 scoop each of white rice, Gandule rice and potato salad with 2 neatly wrapped pasteles. Apologies as the plate was quickly eaten before I could snap any pics. What I really enjoyed was the rice was not wet and soggy, the potato salad was delicious and the pastele included nice chunks of meat and whole seedless olives. The Pasteles were a bit wetter that what I have had in the past at other businesses, but was very tasty! The potato salad was especially delicious...even better than Gulick's ! I am excited to try the pastele stew as the chunks of meat in the pastele was not fatty. I was so excited to find this pastele biz that I forgot to ask if I can pay extra to upgrade the white rice to gandule. Will definitely return in the future. I don't know what days the food truck is in Kapolei, but maybe you can get their IG page. Today the truck was at 91-220 Hanua Street. Sorry, I guessed the address when I added this new biz. A bit pricey, but I loved that the food truck was neat and clean! Maybe the higher pricing so no line lol. I rarely buy lunch so this was a treat for me and was shared. I only bought 1 plate to try, but the office staff suggested they wanted their own plate next time! Support this local small business and remember to tip well!

The burger was really good for what it is, and the value is hard to ignore Nothing about it felt extra special, though. If I'm being picky, the meat was a bit overcooked, and the buns were a bit dry.

We showed up without cash and had to improvise. A customer let us Venmo him so he could hand us cash, which saved the trip. Thanks, Harry!!!!

First, you need to know that this business does not have a brick and mortar location. You are able to purchase items from their menu at craft fairs and farmer's market . However, they do offer catering. The contact number can be found on her business IG which is shantells_cocina. Shantell was extremely communicative via text. She informed me that my order would be $95 before tax because she sells 5 pasteles for $35 and a small pan of gandule rice for $60. We agreed on a location that was convenient for me. She. met meet at a public place with freshly made gandule rice and pasteles. My family and I loved every bit of her food and everything was mopped in 2 days. Thank you Shantell for doing business with me at the last minute. Highly recommend Shantell's Cocina for your catering needs!
