Love this place's selection of vegan, vegetarian food & snacks. Their flavored coffees are swell as well. If you ever find yourself in the POB III and are craving a coffee, snack or meal, this is an excellent little eatery to buy food from ! Wish all the medical facilities had an eatery like Michi's ! read more

If this is the same truck at the June Eat the Street, they offered a sampler of thai dishes for $5. All of the dishes looked good, but I decided to eat healthy last night: Thai beef salad sampler - 4 stars - It was a very healthy meal with thin strips of meat with fresh watercress, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, etc. Their thai dressing was very sweet and flavorful. I'd order this again because of the variety and freshness of their vegetables. The only gripe I have is that as you can see in my photo, their board says all dishes are $5. When I gave him a $10, he gave me $4 back. This time I was aware of trucks ripping you off, so then I questioned him about all his items were $5, he then said "oh, yeah" and gave me another dollar. read more

Conveniently located in the queens medical center in POB 3. Good selection of paninis, soups, meatloaf, drinks, and desserts. Can be busy and with 2-3 workers you can't blame them. Good food quality for a small shop. read more

I eat here every time I have a doctors appointment. Their food is always delicious and satisfying. Staff is very friendly and kind. Stop by for a bite to eat, you won't be disappointed. read more

Michi's - Breakfast Panini and a Plantation tea - Caterers Near Me

Why do I love Michi's fresh food you ask? Well it's not like greasy fast that just fills you up, it's actually really fresh food every time. It won't leave you with the guilt and sluggish feel that most fast food places tend to do. For the food quality and quantity this is a great deal! Not to mention it's located in Honolulu. For now the company is contracted within Honolulu Community College campus in the newly renovated cafeteria. There's always a line around lunch hour but the name of the game is fast and friendly service. My favorite plate is the pan seared basil steak with miso dressing on a tossed salad. (You can opt for mac salad instead). The steak is tender, juicy, delicious and typically cooked medium to medium well. There is also the option to get brown or white rice. The brown rice is good here, not hard and dry like some places. When I'm in a hurry I'll stop by at the cashier and buy the spam musubi which always satisfies. I highly recommend the chocolate chip mochi cake. It's not exactly mochi, not cake, yet not a chocolate chip cookie it's the perfect combination concept that will satisfy and delight the chocoholic in you. :) PS If you see the new Thai mochi cake, GET IT! It will not disappoint. There's a crumble top on a dense sweet, but not too sweet mochi cake. It's the best mochi cake in Oahu! read more

Michi's is a great option if you need a "take-out" option to feed your family or a group. The food varies and the menu is available on-line so you can see what's coming up. Each one usually serves 4-6 people and is priced accordingly (mains are around $45 I think) and there's an option to add on a salad or other sides. Overall my opinion is that it's a mixed bag that some dishes are better than others. There's nothing that I think is absolutely horrible and everything is supposed to be cooked fresh and fairly healthy. The ones I liked less were the shortrib because it could have used some sauce (ok maybe that's why it was healthier because it didn't come oozing in oily sauce) and the stuffed pork was a little sweeter than I like. The mexican soup was really good, the stuffed chicken was probably my favorite, and the others like the pulled pork are good but just sort of good but not out of this world. Overall, if her food really is healthy then it's totally amazing because it's flavorful and enjoyable. This last batch of stuffed chicken tasted like it had bacon in it so I don't know how healthy it is. I just know how wonderful it tasted! read more

Fresh and tasty taco salad made with loving care. Perfect balance of vegetables, corn tortillas and ground turkey meat. I also got their yummy butter mochi and banana bread. Five stars for freshness!! read more

Michi's - Taco salad with turkey taco. - Caterers Near Me

I was surprised to find this lunch wagon sitting in the normal spot that the Golden River Catering lunch wagon has parked in for years at UH Manoa. Out of curiosity and hunger, I decided to give it a try. I paid about $9.50 for a combo plate of the "Teriyaki Chicken w/pineapple salsa ~ boneless, skinless chicken" and the "Seared Sirloin Steak ~ w/basil butter or thai sauce". I'm sorry to say, but I was really, really disappointed with the plate I got. The teriyaki chicken was okay, but I just expected more flavor considering that the "pineapple salsa" sounds so exotic. It really fell short for me. It just tasted so---blah. As for the "seared sirloin steak w/basil butter or thai sauce".... When I think of sear, I think of more of a flash fry in the pain where they get the outside of the steak cooked quickly, while the inside remains at least a medium-rare. What I got was steak that was dry and completely overdone. Definitely NOT a sear. Also, I didn't get a a choice of basil butter or thai sauce. Maybe that would have made the steak a little better. For the price of $9.50, I wanted more. I ended up throwing out half of my plate. If I do return, I'll definitely try something else and not the chicken or the steak. The service was also extremely slow. I was only 2rd in line to order and I ended up waiting about 20 minutes for my plate in the hot sun. It just wasn't worth the wait. I really love the concept of this wagon and I'm all about eating healthy, but I think there's definitely room for improvement considering the price. read more

We had a good seat by the sea for dinner. The portions were small, Japanese style, and we ordered a course, which we ate up. The taste was average. Our server was a Japanese lady, which was nice. read more

Located in Queens POB -3 lobby entry on king street next to Board of Water supply building, there you'll find a blessed little hole in the wall vegetarian cutie cafe. Serving a variety of great dishes I love the Buddha Bowl which sells out fast once it arrives. Great salads with awesome dressing Michi knows how to create. Tasty Sanwhiches wonderful sauces. I really wish she had a full restaurant with consistency in supply. I think during this COVID environment it should remain the way it is but once it's hopefully over michi should go big alowing consistency of product and availability. Is ther other outlets? Anyway excellent fresh healthy food for those who care about their health. Thank you God for this restaurant! read more

I'm officially getting rid of any doubts I ever had about this place! This food truck is amazing!! Sure, it's only been about a week since I wrote my first review...but until they prove me wrong, I will continue to praise them & raise them a star. The two ladies that run this food truck are super nice & friendly. They are very easy to talk to, which adds to their already great customer service. I've been here 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Everything that I've ordered up to this point has probably been some of the best food I've tasted. The seared sirloin...omg! The teri-glazed baked chicken w/ pineapple salsa...whattt!! And, the ahi belly w/cucumber-wasabi sauce...STFU! read more

I'm pretty sad about having to post this, but they have lost my business. With this being located in a medical facility with sick people around you would think they would be more friendly and understanding. I wasn't all there today when ordering a coffee and some food and misunderstood what the guy was asking. When I corrected him and asked to also get a coffee he made rude comments like "so when I told you what size you wanted...". And later making comments like "wow...". I asked for the coffee in a nice way knowing that misunderstood what he was asking. This guy is usually nice and friendly so maybe he was having a hard day, but he should consider that other people are having off days too. read more

While I have never tried any plate lunches from here, I can say that they make a really good Almond Joy iced latte, plantation iced tea, and lychee iced tea. Oh and banana bread squares (I always try to snag a corner piece!) I always stop by the one located in the lobby of Queens POB III when I have doctor appointments. The main lady there is super nice! read more

I used to be a fan of Michi's (see the pics I've uploaded) but not anymore. In the beginning when they first arrived at UH Manoa, the food they served was good and they would try out different items. However, as time went on and since they have expanded, the quality in their food has gotten worse. This is evident in the presentation. They are also skimpier on the portions as the same plate I used to order does not weigh the same now and the quality has really gone down (the salad looks terrible now and looks like it was haphazardly "tossed"). For the same price now I'd rather go some place else. The Hawaiian BBQ chicken that I've had there recently was utterly disappointing and downright terrible. There was nothing Hawaiian nor BBQ about it and it was akin to the chicken they serve in school cafeterias. That's really what Michi's has come down to... cafeteria food..and in that case I'd rather eat elsewhere on campus such as Simply Ono which is comparable in price and also has huge portions. The quality issue could be due to the fact that they keep changing the chefs/people in the food truck... read more

They take credit card - which is immediate bonus points, especially for a lunch truck. Consistently here everyday - when school is in session - so its dependable. Menu was scattered - vegetarian options available and the plate lunches came with a pineapple and orange slice which was a nice touch. Gumbo - good amount of sausage, shrimp and chicken, was spicy from the sausage, but bland otherwise. Wasn't fulfilling on the taste buds. Turkey meatloaf looked alright. Salads were kind of sad. Portions were alright, but not extremely filling. If you want a satisfying plate lunch - head south on campus to Simply Ono's truck. read more

This review is specifically for the Cooking Fresh for You food truck on the UH Manoa campus, which is, in my opinion, the best food truck on campus! Located by the Kennedy Theater on East-West road, Cooking Fresh offers a lot of different healthy options for lunch at very reasonable prices. The menu varies day by day, but usually they offer a variety of different proteins (steak/beef, chicken, pork or fish) that can either be ordered as a mini or regular, and come with brown rice and a tossed salad. They even offer a tofu option instead (usually in place of chicken), for those who prefer to eat a little healthier or vegetarian. The plate lunches are incredibly reasonable ranging from $6 to $10 a plate, depending on what you order. The portions are also very generous and perfect for lunch, and they also accept credit card too for those who don't carry cash. My "usual" is the Thai Green Curry with chicken which is SO tasty; the workers are so great too that they even cut up the chicken into tiny bite sized pieces to accommodate my current dental situation (teeth extractions & braces). I've also had the steak, lasagna, and turkey meatloaf which are all great. Also two words: volcano sauce. If you love spicy sauce it will change your life! The only downsides to Cooking Fresh is during the school year the wait in line can be pretty long (up to maybe 15-20 minutes in the line alone, not including waiting for food) during the busy lunch hour and they also usually run out of food about a half hour before closing.. So I would recommend going early (they're open from 10am-2pm) if you want a short line and options. With that said, Cooking Fresh is great: great food, great workers and great service! A total bang for your buck. If you're on the Manoa campus for lunch I would definitely stop by.. And don't forget the volcano sauce. :) read more

Had her cooking at several locations including at the Sony Open and Eat the Street events. I am always intrigued at what dishes she will have available at her next events. Consistent menu offerings have been the sliders and quinoa salad. In addition to her truck, she cooks out of Star of the Sea School and offers healthy catering options as well. I've tried sirloin steak with pesto sauce, chili..All tasty without leaving that feeling of thirst after (which occurs with too much seasoning or salt) Makes you feel like you're getting a well-rounded, satisfying meal without too much of the guilt. Her homemade sauces and meal options don't disappoint! read more

I love their Thai Steak Salad! Who knew salad could be so filling, tasty, and reasonably priced. I love the crunch from the Napa cabbage and water crest. That bit of mint and cillantro and roasted peanuts is such a nice surprise. I usually end up buying 2 to 3 take out trays whenver I see the truck at an Eat the Street event. read more

I had the Thai Beef Salad ($6): this salad included Romaine lettuce, cabbage, tomato, and thinly sliced steak, with a side of cilantro-lime dressing. In all, there were "11 ingredients of love!" I enjoyed the refreshing vegetables and succulent, juicy beef. Tons of color here livened the dish up! The cilantro-lime dressing had a bit of sweetness and some tang, electrifying the palate. The beef was cooked around medium-rare to medium. My mom, who generally prefers her meat well-done, raved about this dish without complaint, so you know this has to be an amazing dish. Other dishes include the Tex Mex Quinoa Salad with Tomato-Basil Dressing, "Asian Persuasion" nachos, and a sirloin steak plate. Hit up Cooking Fresh For You for quality ingredients and healthy meals! read more

Michi's is one of those lunch trucks that may not be among the most popular on the block, but it definitely offers a unique lunch option that is genuinely refreshing and something different than the other trucks that are out there. The menu features healthier plate lunch options as well as salads which is a nice guilt-free option that is a pleasant change. Plate lunches feature brown rice and toss salad versus the conventional white rice and macaroni salad. The sirloin with basil butter sauce was nice and refreshing with a decently cooked sirloin that while on the leaner side was still pretty tender and the basil butter sauce a very refreshing flavor. The Thai beef salad has quickly become one of my favorite items on their menu. Its incredibly refreshing on a hot day with watercress and salad topped with vegetables and a very flavorful, but not spicy, beef slices. The dressing was on the sweeter side, but offered a bold flavor so be careful with how much you place on you salad as you mix it. Prices are pretty reasonable with items being under $10 and easy to get a lunch for under that. Might seem high to some, but when plate lunches are in that range and you consider that Michi's items are generally made from scratch or are fresh items, its a pretty good deal. Service is quick and efficient, with wait times being fairly minimal. I'd say about a 5 minute wait generally and the time doesn't seem to excessive. Definitely a great lunchwagon/food truck to check out if you happen to see it in your neighborhood! read more

Attended the TEDxYouth@Punahou event where the lunch was catered through Michi's. We had pulled-pork & roasted veggie sliders, salads, and a poke bar. Everything tasted fresh & delicious. They were also very nice & gracious people. read more

Michi's - sliders, salads, & a poke bar.... - Caterers Near Me

This lunch truck parks near my work every Wednesday and Friday. They are known for their healthy, but tasty food. I've had their Puerto Rican pork and their Stir Fry. The Puerto Rican pork was very tender and the sauce that accompanies it is very yummy! Their Stir Fry is a default dish for me, if I can't find anything else I want I usually get the Stir Fry. You can get the stir fry with chicken, pork, or vegetarian style. They also serve pasta dishes as well as salads. My co-workers really enjoy the kin-wa (not sure if I spelled that correctly) salad. All in all, I like this lunch truck.. Healthy, big portions, and always something different. read more

I usually love eating here but today I was very dissatisfied with the portion I got.. I paid 6 bucks for a mini plate with just small pieces of chicken.. Today was really bad they manage to run out of food about half the menu before noon. read more

Michi's - This is all I got for 6 bucks.. I felt ripped off.. At least the taste wasn't that bad.. - Caterers Near Me

I love Michi's food truck! It's a wonderful, healthy option on the UH-Manoa campus. Plus, the food doesn't cost more than many of the on-campus options. For instance, you can buy a "bowl" (essentially, mediocre starch dish topped with a bland main dish) from the Panda counter at the Plastic Palms, and you have easily spent over $7 on pretty bad food. Look across the way and see the black truck and KNOW that you could have spent the same amount (plus or minus $1-2) and be very, very happy. All of the regular plates come with Genji Mai rice, which is healthier than white rice but easier to eat than "regular" brown rice (at least, for me). It also comes with a generous heap of salad greens and 2-3 pieces of fresh fruit (orange slices or pineapple, usually). I believe the mini's come with less rice & salad, w/o fruit? I don't remember, because I usually order the regular plate and overeat. :) The regular offerings include the steak and the chicken, both of which have already been described by others, so maybe you don't need me to tell you how yummy they are. The menu usually includes a naan wrap (I've had it with a messy but delicious turkey sausage filling), as well as at least one type of salad. There's a pretty steady rotation of things that appear to be favorites, as well as new things, so it never gets boring. I have had her green curry, the turkey meatloaf (one of my favorites!), the chicken caesar wrap, and the pork chop. I am a huge fan of the ahi belly, too! I'm not completely certain, but I *think* most items are priced in the range of $5-$9. Michi herself is stationed at the helm. I think she's great - warm, personable, and clearly enjoys her work. I hope she can stay and feed us healthy and delicious food for a good, long time! read more

When it comes to healthy foods, Michi is a flavor master!!!! The ambiance of your friendly neighborhood food truck with the tastes of a seasoned dine-in restaurant. I obviously enjoy eating healthy for my well being, but normally I feel like I am sacrificing flavor for healthy choices. Not with this food truck!! Such creative and multicultural savory flavor combinations that are all created from healthy ingredients that leave you feeling great. Michi's truck also is very reasonably priced with a friendly, smiling staff that always remembers returning customers. (they are also green, using environment friendly boxes and cups) As far as lunch on campus at UH, I wont eat anywhere else! Some of my favorites (sorry I never took pictures): Puerto Rican pork roast Black bean avocado burger w/ aioli sauce Asian BBQ glazed turkey meatloaf turkey meatball naan wrap (any of her naan wraps are amazing) Any mac'n cheese creation on the menu Kalua pig and cabbage read more

Healthy and delicious plate lunches - with a few exceptions. Discovered this black food truck about a year ago when I was a college student at UH. My friend recommended the Turkey Meatloaf with Asian BBQ glaze. I've never been a fan of meatloaf, but this particular blend of sweet BBQ sauce and light turkey made me a believer. I quickly went through their whole menu for the next few weeks and came to the conclusion that this was where I would buy my lunch for the rest of the year! Their (regular) plate lunches are full meals - salad with a miso-like dressing, pineapples/oranges, ghenji mai brown rice, and an entree. Their minis are smaller and don't have fruit. The food is addicting, filling, and healthy - I never feel bloated after eating a full plate, even their steak plate! Not all of their meals are great tho. I recommend their Turkey meatloaf, steak, and poke. Most of their chicken plates are too dry for me, but that can be remedied with a generous portion of sweet chili sauce, tabasco, and/or their volcanic hot sauce (VERY HOT). The other plates are not to my tastes, but there are many new selections added to the menu daily! I also recommend going around 10 or 11am, since they get very busy at noon, and the quality/quantity of their food seems to drop. Checkout the Japanese Gardens across the street for a chill place to enjoy your plate lunch from Michis! read more

For now a 3 until I try more things because their menu sounded really good and if its healthier then thats even more of a plus. I ordered the pork posole for $5, it was a mini and it was described as "a leaner version of this traditional Mexican dish, with pork loin, hominy, sweet onion and mild green chiles over Genji-mai brown rice, served with homemade roasted tomatillo-cilantro salsa, chips and a wedge of lime" there was only a little bit of salsa over a lot of sour cream so I wished there was more salsa. It looked pretty good but at first bite it was kind of bland and no distinct flavors going on so I was a bit disappointed with that as I was hoping i would enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my first pork posole at another restaurant but it just didnt compare. I'd def love to give them another chance though so until next time ;) read more

Mahalo for your delish plate lunches and friendly smile/customer service! read more

Decided to try one of those little food trucks to find a good cheap eat. Instead I found a fly in my Teriyaki Chicken ! Gross. The chicken itself looked really dry and the salad looked like it was at least a few days old. Sadly the Name Cooking Fresh was obviously a disapointment and the name should be Cooking with Flys read more

Finding healthy and delicious meals on campus is difficult. But Michi's Cooking Fresh For You is a great option for lunch ! Located right outside of Kennedy Theatre on University of Hawaii Manoa, Cooking Fresh For You is a food truck, and it is easy to spot. I've tried the cornish hen and one of the curries. Both were delicious and the prices are super reasonable. I've also heard that the pork and the spicy ahi are tasty too. Staff is also super friendly and helpful. What's the best about Cooking Fresh For You is that they use healthy ingredients on every dish. All dishes are served automatically with brown rice. This is definitely my number one choice for lunch on campus. read more

So yummy thank u! Had the loco moco short ribs over rice and salad. Hubby had the steak with pesto again so yummy.

This review is for michi's at queens pob 1... Super sad sad place! All 3x I have been there, there is hardly any foods to choose from. Just open a stand outside if all u have to sell is muffin n bagels! Out of this out of that! No choices! Even the family before me seem surprise they weren't serving breakfast meals. Then you have a cashier who seems in a hurry to help you cuz he wants to check his phone or watch something on his phone, rude! He even forgot about my bagels and burnt it! Place needs variety! 3x I been there I arrive pretty early you can't b sold out of food! read more

This food truck has been a great addition to the UH campus. Although the prices are a little high, the quality of the food is excellent. I highly recommend their poke (I've had the ahi and another type of fish too, and it's very fresh) and ahi belly (I believe that was a special item). I'm not a huge fan of their Thai green curry, but the steak with pesto is cooked very well. They are usually pretty quick at serving food too, so don't let the line intimidate you. read more

I would have to honestly say I would NEVER EVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! Super terrible!! I work at Queen's and I'm very disappointed with the food and service that Michi provides. I've heard a lot of bad things about this place from fellow coworkers, and A LOT of negative comments about the owner herself. I ordered her mini meatloaf it was plain out HORRIBLE!! The meatloaf tasted as if it were a week old, dry, unappealing and disgusting! Like YUCK! I can't imagine how her food truck is like. If you had a chance to chose I wouldn't choose Michi's at all, I would definitely choose KOI's around the corner. read more

Today I went to the location at UH Manoa and was very dissatisfied with my plate. I get food from here pretty often for their ahi bowls but they didn't have any on the menu so I got the Greek lemon chicken. I honestly lost my appetite and was too disappointed to even go back for a refund. I had gotten two pieces of chicken, one of which was not fully cooked...gross. Threw it away and gave the other piece a try but it wasn't worth it. There was no flavor and tasted dry. All I could manage to eat was the salad. Sorry, but that's my last plate from you guys. read more

**BIG PORTION** this new lunch wagon is located in front of sport authority @ ward. i ran across it when i was on break. they are known for cooking really great tasting healthy food. i had the pork chops and their "special brown rice" it was ono ! i highly recommend it. go check them out ! read more

I don't know man... The people were really nice and the service was pretty fast. The workers were really nice and funny and seem to get along really well. I ordered one of the vegetarian dishes that the girl working there recommended. Sadly though I must say that it may have made me a bit sick. So sad. I doubt I'll ever return......... read more

Good, tasty, healthy food best describes her dishes. No deep frying. Since the lunchwagon is parked at University and Metcalf everyday, I've been trying the different plate lunches from ono steak plate to white chili. But I seemed to have stopped at the Chicken Thai Green Curry dish with eggplant and red bell peppers. So yummy and reasonably priced. I hope they can keep maintain their high quality and keep prices the same when they move onto the UH Manoa campus this Fall. read more

Michi's used to be good, but now their quality has gone down. Many times in the past 6 months I have had salad where it is bitter. The entrees are also not cooked to order with the exception of the steak plate and fish, but rather just scooped into the container. Unfortunately, now Michi's is like every other food establishment at UH Manoa. read more
