I don't know if it wasn't mixed right, or was just plain old. Laulau was small and dry. Kalua pig was good, but tasted a little old. Lomi salmon was good. The poi was like 2-day old, thick, dry, and sour. The haupia was little funky, solid, and grey. The white rice was brown and old. The loco moco gravy was super dark and chunky, the meat paddy tough. The mac salad tasted like detergent (like they never wash the pot good). Felt like everything we was eating was Sunday leftovers. The cashier was super soft spoken, and quite frankly she didn't seem to know what she was selling, or just plainly could not hear or understand her.

I ran into this wagon at a "What the truck" event and I love spring rolls and seeing that the name…read moreof the truck was Wrap and Roll Lunch Wagon, i assumed they would make good spring rolls. I was disappointed. I got 8 Pork w veggies spring rolls for $15. I visited this truck at the start of the event which was a fundraiser for a High School. The oil they used was old or rancid. The spring rolls seemed like it was fried twice from before. It tasted horrible. I spoke to others at the event and they said they threw their food away because it tasted bad. I believe if they used fresh oil at the start of an event, it would have tasted much better. I do not plan to return here, it tasted really bad, rancid, old. I hate to make bad reviews for local business but they need to change their oil or check their food and taste it themselves before selling

We were spoiled to the max! The owners and their family run the place and in true Filipino hospitality, they served us buffet/family style and entertained us with their stories from their humble beginnings to what they are today. The food was the best I've had in the Island. Hands down. Everything tasted nostalgic because the technique used in cooking each dish tasted like a handed down recipe from a grandma's kitchen from back home in the motherland. If you're ever in the island of Oahu please make your way to Waipahu and sample as much of their offerings as you can and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommended coming from a humble cook who rarely raves about Filipino food because I myself learned from my paternal grandmother.

They're located on the corner and once you see a tent & smell bbq, you're at the right spot. This restaurant gave karinderia vibe to it! Karinderia is basically like those food stalls they have in the Philippines, where they have a bunch of dishes and you sit out to enjoy the food. Home cooked & affordable eats. They have everything from bbq sticks, adobo, lechon, kilawan, lumpia and more. I got the bbq stick & chicken inasal plate. The bbq stick was packed with so much flavor! The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE. If you want to experience a true Filipino experience with great food, this place is for you.

And because I had my kids with me, Jaycee was so nice to deliver our food to our car. She also gave my daughter yummy melona crackers. Check them out! we'll be back!

I'm FINALLY writing a review. This time we ordered and enjoyed it at home, and as usual, they didn't disappoint. My husband always gets the sisig, and I usually go for the adobo. This time I decided to try the bistek (beef steak) and it was AMAZING! I'll definitely be ordering the bistek again next time. I love that they put their delicious garlic sauce on the rice so I can enjoy it with my plate. And of course, my all time favorite is their lumpia. Highly recommend!

Last August, when I was 8 months pregnant and had just moved back to O'ahu from the Big Island, I…read morewas scrolling Instagram and came across a local plate lunch truck called The Pupu Princess. I hit follow right away -- and when I saw they were nearby, I waddled my very pregnant self over to grab a plate. I ordered their Combo Plate: two scoops rice sprinkled with furikake, crab potato salad, fried noodles, and two proteins. I chose garlic fried chicken and teri beef. It was so good I actually cried a little. Living on the Big Island, everything was so far, and I couldn't satisfy my cravings easily -- so finally having a real plate lunch felt like comfort and home all at once. I hadn't been back since, mostly because they don't have a set schedule, and whenever they were close by, Bubba would be napping or I'd find out too late. But today, I finally got to go again -- and this time I brought Bubba. And she remembered me. "Weren't you pregnant last time?" she said. Such a small thing, but honestly an amazing memory and such a warm customer experience. Bubba and I had a little sidewalk picnic together. He tried fried noodles for the first time, loved the teri beef, and of course devoured the rice -- his forever favorite. I saved half the plate for my boyfriend since he's working. It felt like such a full-circle moment... sharing with my son the exact plate lunch that made me cry (in the best way) when I was pregnant with him.

I was looking for this food truck all last week at the park in ewa Beach called Geiger community…read morepark. Well today we found it its a small pink trailer house type truck. Got there this time after 11:00 am. I think it was about 11:20. I was 3rd in line ordering. I ordered the after school special plate includes 5 rolls taegu Kim chee sushi rolls and 4 pieces boneless fried chicken. The rolls were tasty and the fried chicken was crispy skin and a lightly salted. Told the girl inside the truck we looked for you guys last week thursday and you guys wasn't there. She started to laugh explaining why they weren't there but I cut her off and said that day we came back 3 times couldn't find them we went home. LOL. Took a picture of their menu. If you in the area, stop by. Support them. They make everything fresh it's about a 20 min wait. P.S. They only open Tuesday through Friday 11-3pm.

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.
