That was very helpful because we needed to pick up a few things at the grocery store next door, so it worked out perfectly. The service was great. We'll definitely be back to dine in and experience the service inside.

The exterior, and interior, of the building is nothing special. As a matter of fact, that's part of what I loved about it; it helps you realize it's an all around fantastic food joint, not just somewhere that charges overpriced amounts for average food because of the "vibe." It's extremely busy inside this place, and staff was extremely friendly and pretty quick with turning out orders. I ordered a two entree plate, which consisted of their teriyaki chicken and pina colada shrimp, per the recommendation of the woman taking my order. The shrimp was incredible and the pins colada sauce that it comes with it's something I now dream about! The chicken was also great. It's dark meat, which is something to keep in mind in case you're a pickier eater, but the char and flavor of it was wonderful. For the sides I ordered rice and their mac salad. I'm not usually a mac salad kind of guy, but this changed my mind and I can now say I'm a true fan. This is perhaps one of the best places I've eaten between the two islands I visited on this trip, and I can't say enough good things about it!

How about they keep the deadly bones to themselves. This was originally for my wife but we traded…read morelunches. She got great food from Red Barn truck and I got these slow death pieces of bone, any one would cut your esophagus to the quick , you would be dead before the medics got to you. How can this be an accident? Four sharp bones in one small laulau? One piece, maybe they overlooked it. Two,pieces ? I can't see anyone being that careless. Three pieces? Sounds like malicious intent, Four pieces, including that big one with sharpened spear tips, sounds intentional and very deadly. They made it right there and served it up to us! Sounds like the Hawaii states attorney should look into their history. The health Dept? Food and beverage? Nah! The district attorney, possibly. If I feel like letting someone else deal with it. A very cleaver way of having another Haole die from an 'accidental' bone? Not these four bones, too much overkill! Take your life, and the lives of your loved ones far away from this very questionable food truck. Hopefully we don't see them on Lopaka Kapanui's scary Hawaii show.

Before our wedding, Mark and his wife took an opportunity to make it a point to get to know us. In that meeting we learned not only about the experience and skills they possessed, but the authenticity of their hearts to truly serve us. On the day of, they were warriors championing through the Hilo rain (surprise, surprise it rained in a hilo wedding), cooking, moving things around, and presenting everything to perfection. Before we could even thank them for their service, they had already left, ensuring the attention stayed on us on our wedding day. I would recommend their catering service to anyone and just incase you were wondering, yes their food was KILLAHZ.

I had been planning this destination wedding from California and it was not easy choosing vendors blindly without ever trying the food! But the food looked great on their IG page and after communicating with Mark, he definitely knew what he was doing. He gave me some recommendations since I wanted a Hawaiian-Filipino theme. The bbq skewers, bistek, pancit, macaroni salad + poke station and more was all soooo good. They were still good the next day after being slightly hungover. Mahalo to Mark and his team! I recommend their catering to anyone.

No waiting in line; call order in advance. No lines. The best grilled sirloin too! Smoked Meat, Huli Huli Chicken is juicy and not over seasoned, perfect balance of real char broiled and a tasty seasoning. Plates come with rice, Cole slaw salad and side orders are killah! Try it!

It has the perfect amount of crunch, is incredibly flavorful, and was definitely my fave. Second best was the pork belly. I also loved the fresh coconut mango sago drink, made with real mango chunks and wasn't overly sweet, which made it so refreshing. The spread also included fried rice, mixed vegetables, crispy tofu, dumplings, and ube cream puffs, and everything was well prepared and satisfying. We were definitely spoiled with such a delicious lunch. I'll happily order from Ho Jah again!

Tried this food truck for the first time and I'm already planning my next visit!…read more I had the pork belly lunch box, the crispy tofu snack, and a mango boba drink. Everything was SO good. The pork belly was juicy and flavorful -- melt-in-your-mouth kind of good. Loved the little touches like the tea egg and pickled radish, which balanced everything out. The cabbage was a standout -- soft, saucy, and absolutely delicious. Definitely not your average side. The crispy tofu came in a paper bag with a stick (super fun presentation). I went with the garlic pepper flavor -- crispy outside, soft and pillowy inside, with just the right amount of spice. There's another flavor called Li hing mui, which I'll be trying next time! The mango boba drink was light, fruity, and really refreshing. Perfect finish to the meal.

Yelp me, Yelp you!…read more We were looking for a place to eat near Waikoloa Village during our annual summer getaway to Hawaii, and this year, our trip brought us to the Big Island. We happened to find this little hidden gem, and we're glad we gave it a try. The food was delicious--from the chow mein and fried rice to the steak and orange chicken. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and perfect for a hungry family after a long day of exploring the island. The ambiance is pretty simple and average, and the service was okay, but the quality of the food made the visit worthwhile. Sometimes you don't need anything fancy--you just need good food at a comfortable local spot. We would definitely come back the next time we're staying near Waikoloa!
