The shack walking up
Mike G.

Checked in around noon on a Monday. Parking was pretty easy, the lot offers plenty of spaces on either side of the Seven Brothers main shops. Definitely worth stopping in at Seven Brothers Restaurant and or the bakery as well. Back to Mikes, You'll walk up and spot signage plus the yellow signature bus shack. I'd seen Mikes Huli Chicken on an episode of Diners Drive Ins and Dives and Guy said "the skin is as crispy as it gets next to being fried." That never left my memory. This being my next visit since seeing that episode, I had to try it. What did I order? - Mikes Huli Chicken Plate $17: 4/5 Stars - Chicken is a nice half chicken portion, perfectly juicy, nicely slight char taste. Crispy skin? Unfortunately no. - The Mac salad is nice. - Generous serving of rice *** Mikes Huli sauce is delicious! Be sure to find the self serve bottle and the to go sauce cups and get you some extra. You'll walk up and place your order at the window, pay, cash or card, then find yourself a seat. The cashier was simple and quick to the point. No small talk. The seating area within mikes truck is a decent size accommodating roughly 15 to 20 people. Outside, there additional tables as well. Overall, I'd say if you're in the area, give it a try, it will neither blow your socks off nor disappoint. Mikes is a solid Huli Chicken plate. It simply delivers satisfying meal.

Surprisingly delicious food truck food. And an amazing amount of food. Had their combo chicken and Kailua pork with macaroni salad and rice. A very generous 1/2 chicken and large pork portion. They gave a delicious slightly spicy tangy sauce which complimented both meats. The seating was not ideal with lots of flies and feral cats. But the area bathrooms were great. Clean with hot water and towels...needed after eating the chicken.

I stopped by here earlier today with my dad for lunch. We were making our way around Oahu and it was lunchtime. Once we saw all of the food trucks and stands, we knew we had to stop. After looking around at all of the places, I ultimately decided to stop at Mike's Huli Chicken since I love a good Huli Huli chicken. Since it was a trailer, there was not much to say about it other than there were two people working that day. Besides the trailer, they had a covered seating area with a decent amount of tables and seats and unfortunately a lot of flies as well. After perusing the dinner menu, I decided to go with the #1 chicken plate while my dad went with the chicken and shrimp combo. Mine came out first and the chicken was definitely not what I would call a Huli Huli. It had a bit of smoke flavor but did not taste as if it had been basted in anything salty or sweet. The darker meat on mine also felt fairly undercooked. Interestingly, the customer after me complained about the same thing and ultimately switched to a stir fry. Whenever my dad bit into his meal, it was the same. I know dark meat can be harder to tell if it is done, but at least two of the three of us were questioning it. My meal came with two scoops of rice and a mac salad while the picture on the sign had an actual salad with some pineapple on top. The mac salad was okay but nothing special. My dad's combo ended up being the same price as mine and he had the same chicken, so I am not sure why mine was the same price as his and he got six extra shrimp. Enough complaining though. The piece of chicken that was cooked and I did eat was decent and I liked the sauce that came with it even though it tasted like something mixed with red hot sauce. The bottom line for me is that I would not head back here again in the future. Between the possibly undercooked meat, the confusion over my dad getting shrimp but the same amount of chicken for the same price, and all of the flies (not really their fault), I just do not see it happening.

Mikes huli chicken food truck

Might be my favorite meal of the Hawaii vacation. Mike's Huli Chicken is a food truck located at Kahuku Sugar Mill in Hawaii's North Shore. The employee was super nice, the food came out fast, and it was flavorful and delicious. All orders are prepared as carryout but there are tables available under an attached covered awning. The food truck is a repurposed yellow bus which has tons of decorations which attract attention. The sugar mill area has sand parking lots and there is also a city bus stop.

Tons of cats hang around the truck.

First time trying Mike's Huli chicken, my family spent our Father's Day lunch In kahuku and we were craving shrimp, instead of ordering from the Kahuku shrimp truck. We decided to eat at Mike's. The cleanliness of the tables were not too good. We asked for napkins to clean off the table, but they were so sticky and oily. The food didn't take too long. We waited about less than 20 minutes. The quality of the food was mid, some of my family members were concerned when biting into the chicken because there were bits that were still pink, however, my plate the chicken seem thoroughly cooked through, but it was rubbery. I honestly did not finish the chicken, I only ate half due to the texture but the shrimp was really good if I would go back, it would be only for the shrimp. The prices were moderate, they do serve big portions and they also do sell their house made hot sauce, my family is a fan of it, I'm not personally a fan, but I say give it a try. As a heads up, there are tons of cats that hang around personally they do not bother me but it seemed like it bothered other families that were eating there this particular one that I took a picture of is definitely affectionate. I think if you just ignore them, they won't bother you.

We arrived around 12:00 noon on a Sunday and there was ample parking nearby. It's my first time here but it was easy to find and well marked. Ordering was very easy with picture boards. I went with the Hawaiian plate special which included a quarter chicken, lau lau, Kahlua pig, choice of mac salad or toss salad and a pineapple wedge. There was also a small container of their secret sauce but it was a little sweet for me. I'm sure others would enjoy it. Service was fast and friendly and our order was prepared in minutes. The ambience has such a local feel surrounded by palm trees with the occasional chicken walking through the restaurant. There's about 20 seats in 5 tables and it's in the covered area so that's nice. The serving size was massive but I was super hungry because I didn't have breakfast. Definitely recommend checking it out.

The food was fantastic, scrumptious cannot say enough about the quality and the taste. We got it to go.

The food was scrumptious. Got our food to go. The quality was outstanding, and the flavor was spot on.

Ordered the chicken & pork char siu. The way this was grilled made the chx so tender but yet crispy on the outside. The pork was also so good! Definitely worth the wait. My first time on the island and drove up north shore to stop at the food truck market. Staff is friendly. Worth stoping by if you're in the area.

Chicken/garlic shrimp and chicken/ char siu

This experience I had was not so good. We were really looking forward to eating lunch. It was a late lunch, and they ran out of steak. So, instead of the steak and shrimp combo, I ordered the chicken and char siu combo. I do think this would've been delicious. But the chicken was very salty! I couldn't eat much of it. As for the pork, that was okay, just not a big fan of it. My husband had the chicken and garlic shrimp. The shrimp is very good!!!!! I just remembered the last time we visited when I had the steak and shrimp combo. That was so yummy and I was hoping to eat the same thing again. But this time, the food did come out more quickly and of course the cashier always seems to be nice and patient with us. I just love the ambiance. It's a cute area with a lot of food trucks. Mikes Huli provides a covered seating area, if you can find a spot. If not, there's more that's further away, but the sun will be hitting you while you're eating. Another thing, don't be alarmed as there will be chickens wandering around.

Food was old and probably microwave! Laulau was cold inside bottom of plate was hot but not food. Chicken looked old also was cold. I made huli huli chicken before so I know what fresh looks like. I tried sauce from a friend and it was really good so I figure try food. Big mistake

We're around the area and decided to drop by at Mike's Huli Chicken to buy some dipping sauce to share with our family and friends in the mainland. It's our absolute dipping sauce mostly for everything at home. We also got a plate of huli chicken with garlic shrimp. It came with 2 scoops of rice and a mac salad. The huli chicken was cooked well, juicy and perfect with Mike's dippin sauce. The garlic shrimp was just ok, it's garlicky and buttery, nothing really special, but it was good. The auntie who took the order was really nice and friendly. We always enjoy their food and love the people who work here.

Got the char siu and chicken combo! Really quick service and the gentleman working was nice. Bbq sauce was light, vinegar based, and had some spice to it. A lot of food $17! Mac salad was good too and I'm not really a huge fan of most because they're too much mayonnaise. The char siu pork was a little dry but that's my only complaint!

Kahuku location. Was kinda hard to find, so glad we did!

YAY! Another place we can eat where they do not question Ala Carte orders! Got 2 1/2 chickens and 8 garlic shrimp... NO "PLATE" stuff PLEASE. Zero blink of an eye (totally surprised me!). We went carnivore last year and sooooooo hard to find places that sell their food without the rice, salad etc. Ill be going to the Kailua one for sure!! Delish moist chicken! I did splurge a little and ate some of the spicy sweet red sauce....Oh my, really tasty! If they did an alt one using allulose as sweetener that would be BOMB! Lol fat chance. The shrimp were really great too. Came with a nice big pool of melted butter and a couple of lemon wedges. HUSBAND AND I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED!!

Ask the Community - Mike's Huli Chicken

Are there's another location for the mikes huli chicken besides kahuku?

They used to have a location by Rainbow Drive-In but it didn't work out. They also didn't have the full menu. They're only in Kahuku now.

You guys take credit cards for the payments?

They took credit cards a few months ago when I was there.

Been wanting to try it - sign says open but it's been closed whenever we have been by this week. When is it open?

It's supposed to be open daily from 10:30 am - 7 pm. There was a Facebook post about 14 hours ago, and nothing I found stating they were closed. It's a bummer you have been experiencing these difficulties.

Hubby found this place and this lilac Filipino food truck is tucked all the way at the back…read more We ordered the special of the day which is the Wafu Steak, NY steak was cooked medium well with caramelized onions and shoyu glazed. The beef cut and onions reminded me of the classic Filipino beef steak but this one does not have vinegar or is not sour, it also leans more on the sweeter and savory teriyaki side. It has 2 scoops of rice, and a side salad. Chey Jay, the owner was helpful and friendly. Service was fast. No complaints! They only accept Venmo or cash. Go check them out if you are in the area. It's the only lilac truck at Sugar Mill tucked all the way at the back.

This is a food truck in the back behind the main attraction on that side, the shrimp truck. I was…read moreinterested in trying their teri beef but I'm a sucker for specials and today was something called Wafu steak. I honestly thought it was wagyu misspelled but it's actually based on a type of sauce explained to me as sweet and savory. It was a plate lunch with 2 scoops rice, NY steak, and a side salad. The steak was cooked pretty well but after eating maybe 2 or 3 pieces I stopped. This is the kind of plate that gets better with time so I left it for a few hours and was not disappointed that the sauce marinaded more into the steak. Service was quick even with plate made to order. The only thing is you pay with cash or vendor. I do hope they have a card reader soon. If you're turned off by the shrimp truck line or want something filipino hawaiian fusion, come here and taste the good food they have!
