    Food: Warm and yummy. The cinnamon was my favorite and the haupia my husbands. Service: It was ok, not friendly. Ambiance. It's a food mobile in a mall parking lot. There's no tables or seating outside. It's good for a grab and go.

    Leonard's has a main location usually with a line down the street and several trucks for a reason. We stopped at this little tasty truck on the drive home from the bay. These tasty likely malasadas are like fluffy little pillows of delight. The price is fantastic for a tasty likely pastry that is fluffier than a doughnut. We got an original and a cinnamon sugar. Service was friendly and quick - took us about 2 minutes . These remind me so much of my grandmas faschnughts she used to make on lent. These send me down memory lane. They were hot , fresh, warm , and decadent. Mine was gone in about 2 minutes because it was so yummy. Tantalizing tasty treats! Highly recommend it will satisfy that sweet tooth!

    Malasadas taste amazing when they're hot - this is definitely a shorter wait than the OG one, the truck still has some good choices whether it's filled or not. Quick service and malasadas came out shortly after ordered.

    ~ Save the long wait ~ In a parking lot across Target! They don't have the famous sign but the sweets taste exact same. There's no seats but there's lots of space to stand to eat and chat.

    These are the best! Piping hot and fresh. Stayed warm all the way to the west side. Service was friendly as always. Open during the flood warning and a small awning kept me dry while I paid. No outdoor seating at this food truck, so take them to-go and find a nice spot on the beach. A must have if you are on the island.

    Sadly this truck will be leaving here after all these years. Richard the worker was saying that the owner Leonard came back to Hawaii and will be relocating this truck to Waikiki. NOOOOO PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS AWAY. WE NEED IT HERE

    Go to their main bakery in Kapahulu for more treats!

    Been here a number of times since returning from the mainland after 43yrs. The truck has been here in the Windward Mall parking lot for as long as I can remember in the corner along Kam Highway across Central Pacific Bank & Haiku Road.They serve nothing but goodness! Malasadas plain or filled with creamed fillings. The quality is light & fluffy & you can get a sugar high! The only dislike is you have to use a credit or debit card. No cash payment allowed!The food truck is old, but gets the job done. Go see them for a fantastic sugar treat!

    Malasadas Malassadas a Portuguese dessert brought into Hawaii in the late 1800s and is now considered as a local dessert in Hawaii. Malassadas, meaning undercooked, is served with a doughy center making them chewier once deep-fried then covered in sugar. $1.85 a piece you certainly do not want more than two and that's of you can handle a heavy/dense donut. Please give them a try. They are a Kama recommended stop during tours.

    Leonard's malasadas are heaven!! We were on our way to our tour and thankfully found this location on the way. It was in the corner of the Target parking lot and would have never guessed it was there. It was early in the morning and there was no line. We got 1/2 dozen of assorted flavors, some of them filled. Each one was covered in sugar and nice and warm. The dough is perfectly soft. We liked the haupia filling the most out of the puffs. And you can't go wrong with an original or cinnamon either. Definitely the best malasadas out there!

    3 original sugar, 2 haupia filling and 1 custard filling

    When in Hawaii, what do I have to try? Malasada of course! Leonard's is one of the most popular places for it. This specific truck is located in a parking lot within a plaza. Plenty of parking spots. They offer plains and with fillings. I got 3 plain sugar, 2 haupia and 1 custard. The malasadas were made to order. They came out fast, hot and fresh. They were delicious. The plain one was a bit dense but still fluffy and soft. For the filling ones, the ratio was just right. Eating the malasadas will get super messy so prepare tons of napkins :) **Debit or Credit Only**

    2nd time trying Leonard's! First time at this food truck location. Phone seemed to say Leonard's was in the mall but finally corrected to show the corner of the parking lot where the truck was. Ordering was quick and easy. Prices have remained reasonable despite inflation everywhere. Malasadas came out crazy hot so we had to wait awhile to eat but at least we knew they were fresh haha Not much shade cover in the area so be prepared to wait out in car or stand in sun a bit.

    Every malasadas wagon can be found in the corner or on the side of a lot. Why is it? You can't miss this red and white truck! Dont waited upon immediately if there is a line or crowd waiting for their order. But this location makes your malasadas fresh, nice and hot, and only this one rolls a lot of sugar on it! So yummy! sorry, I left no pictures of my goods, but I know I'll be returning again! Friendly service and bring your debit card. This location doesn't accept cash.

    Classic Leonard's box

    Delicious malasadas! I have tried all of the flavors- custard, dobash (chocolate), and haupia (coconut). I like how the filling stays thick and custardy- it doesn't melt from the warmth of the malasada. They come out hot, though there is a bit of a wait. Well worth it! Texturally these are breadier than a yeast donut. A crisp exterior with an airier interior- bigger than I remember them being. I've been to the larger Leonard's location on Lumiaina St many times and their malasadas have been very consistent. I do prefer Manuela's malasadas, but these are still amazing! Overall, I would highly recommend Leonard's!

    This is my first review of 2026!…read more Tonight I enjoyed the sticky rice with chicken anticucho and it is my favorite meal of 2026 so far. The chicken thighs were beautifully seasoned and slightly charred. The meat was cooked all the way through yet still juicy with bone in thigh. The purple sticky rice was perfectly done and I love the texture of sticky rice in general. The plate also came with sliced cucumbers and pickled mustard greens (reminiscent of Vietnamese pickled mustard greens - but in a much more vibrant green color). My favorite part of the meal was the tart and aromatic sauce that came in the meal. If you're not a fan of lime juice and fish sauce, you may want to use sparingly. However, I was thoroughly enjoying the sauce and when accompanied with a bit of the mustard greens, it toned down the sour aspect of the flavor profile. Overall, so delicious and I would love to find them again and enjoy more of their menu items!

Our food was ready in about 10 mins. One skewer and one short ribs cut in half (3 bones), served with cucumber slices, pickled veggies, and chili sauce. There was a lot of rice. The flavor was ok - wouldve liked the anticucho to be grilled a bit longer. Thought it was pricey for what it was.

They indeed seemed to be very popular as I could see how busy the place was when we picked up ours. It's also a to-go concept only so we enjoyed our pasta at the bench right next to the venue. The pasta was organic and all homemade from peculiar natural ingredients including moringa, taro, sweet potato, bread fruit, avocado, and local saimin. The one serving us was so nice and attentive, which indeed seemed to be needed here given how rich selections they offered. You got the option to pick your own choice of pasta, sauce, and protein or went for their combo. We opted for the latter as we got their Lechon Malunggay Pasta, which was Moringa pasta with roasted pork belly. Portion was HUGEEE and certainly shareable unless your appetite was so big. Meat to pasta ratio was also super general. The pork was cooked to perfection with flawlessly crispy skin yet juicy meat. The pasta came in just the right texture and was already flavorful on its own. You could pick spiciness level for which we took mild and we thought we should've gone for spicy. We also got Ube cheesecake for dessert that was also gigantic LOL. We finished it finally after multiple servings and it was still so good despite kept in fridge overnight. Dense yet not overwhelming and the ube flavor was so strong and I could tell it used real ube. This place was seriously MUST GO!

The food is absolutely worth it, comforting noodles and rice dishes with really satisfying flavors that feel local and homemade. We picked up our meal and headed to a quiet little "secret" picnic spot at Heʻeia State Park to enjoy it. Eating there made the whole experience even better relaxed, scenic, and perfect for a simple, peaceful meal outdoors. Overall, great food + smart planning + beautiful spot = perfect island-style lunch.
