If you're looking for late-night local food that hits the spot, Mops Central is IT! Being open from 6 PM to 1 AM makes it the absolute go-to for those late cravings, and the value is unbeatable--$16 a plate and they pile it high with quality food. The garlic furikake fried chicken is packed with flavor, incredibly crisp, and so ono. You also can't miss out on their meatball loco moco--such a good twist on a classic! On top of the food, the service is exceptionally warm and welcoming. Can't recommend them enough! read more

Came here after we went to a concert and it had such good reviews but honestly the only thing that was good to us was the meat balls. The pork chop was all bone. And the ahi steak was a bit dry. And the wait is very long. And when we were ordering I asked the lady what the difference between the sauces were and she pointed to paper below her and nothing was there... so I was like uhhh ok and just choose something else. And the wait is very very long. read more

I went in on a random Wednesday night and it wasn't busy at all. It's located in the Waipahu Shopping Center where Arby's is. They have a few picnic tables for people to eat. The service was easy and fast but just know they only take cash or venmo - no cards! The menu is simple and yet creative because there are so many of their signature sauces to choose from. I got the three mix plate with Firecracker Chicken, 94 Sauce Pork Chops and Cream Meatballs. I also got the 74 South Moko. Everything was delicious. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the pork was tender. The meatballs were a little salty with the sauce, but just eat a lot of rice! The moko isn't a patty, it's just their meatballs. The eggs were perfectly runny and a very savory. read more

Food truck adventure in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii... If you want dinner or late night eats, go to Mops Central! They have free parking and an outdoor dining area! The menu is interesting! I got one of the sspecials: the Mum Mum Noodles Deluxe; and the Pork Chops with Garlic Kake (garlic Furikake) sauce. Yum! The Mum Mum Noodles Deluxe was topped with easy over eggs, French Fries, and a sweet mayo (?) sauce. I liked the chewy Noodles, but I prefer a more savory sauce - I'm sure I could have asked to change sauce if I knew. Note: Ketchup at home helped a lot! The pork Chops were delicious and tender! Corn was a nice side, along with two scoops of rice. Service was okay. I asked what "Mops" stood for - it's slang for "eating". The cashier made an eating motion... LOL! read more

We love trying new places, and Yelp always comes to the rescue! While searching for cheap eats in the Waipahu area, we stumbled upon Mops Central, a food truck located in Tropicana Square (right alongside Arby's and Jack in the Box). This little hub has a few food trucks and a shared tent with tables, perfect for enjoying your meal although we opted to take it back home. We easily spotted Mops Central's very decorative truck and joined the clearly popular line. You could tell immediately that they have a huge following, but thankfully, the line moved surprisingly fast, and the wait wasn't bad at all. The menu is quite extensive, which for a first-timer, felt a bit overwhelming, but in the best possible way, because everything sounded delicious! Lucky for us, a sweet, kind Aunty behind us generously offered some recommendations. We also subtly listened to what other customers were ordering to help narrow down our choices. From what we gathered, you pick your main entree and then get to choose up to three different sauces to elevate your dish. There's also an option for a two or three-choice plate. Since it was our first visit, we all tried different things and shared, which was perfect! I went with the ahi katsu, topped with garlic sauce and garlic parmesan, all thanks to the Aunty's suggestion. It was absolutely perfectly cooked and incredibly savory. I savored every single bite! They also have different specials every night, so definitely check out their Instagram page for the latest updates. Next time, I'm absolutely going for the two or three-choice plate to try a wider variety of sauces. Very excited to come back for more! read more

A truly excellent pork chop should be thick-cut, juicy, with a flavorful crust, and cooked to a perfect medium, ensuring tenderness without dryness; ideally, it's a bone-in cut that provides added richness and texture, and is seasoned generously with herbs and spices to enhance its taste. These chops are all of that and some! If you didn't know, now you know! Hats off and BIG MAHALO to @fatburns @mopcentral The absolute BEST pork chops ever! Check 'em out! #supportlocal #waipahu #94blocc #bestchopsewa read more

Mops Central - Garlic & Parmesan Pork Chops - Food Trucks Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Hubby chose this place and we came here after we did our grocery shopping at Costco in Waipio the other day. I was so excited to try this place because of the 5 stars, but then again there's only several reviews as of now. I really tried to like this place but it wasn't for me. My husband and I both each got a plate. And there was a side of bland corn for each place. I got shrimp fiyah crackah and chicken kusisi. And my husband just got the chicken kusisi. I felt that the protein itself, especially the chicken lacked flavour, and it relied heavily on the sauces. And the shrimp tempura seems like it was just from the packaged ones. We also ordered large tater tots with fiyah crackah, I think or was it the kusisi? I forget already. That one was a generous portion, but that one we didn't finish as well. There was no flavour, it was just straight up heat coming from the red pepper flakes. We came about an hour after they opened, so we didn't wait too long on our food. We ate everything it at home as we had groceries that needed to be refrigerated. But the following day, I was literally in the bathroom the whole entire day. I'm certain that I got sick because of the food I ate from here because I was fine before I had their food. Not for me. 2 stars was for the parking and the convenience. read more

So far every time I came here the food was always great. We usually just eat in the parking lot but ever since they moved down the street from us we just take our food home and eat there. Most of the time we go we usually get the meatballs that's been the best so far and there fries are also good. My favorite is the Tama Moko but I have been trying the different ones they have. Can't wait to go again and try something else new! read more

Wow, this place is legit!! Happened to come here because Leeward Drive Inn was closed (even though it wasnt 12am yet)... and glad they were!! So we decided to "live on the edge" and cruise through the Pupus (Pupuole) and head back to the food truck. Staff is very friendly and let us sample their chicken. We ended up orderibg 3 plates and 2 kinds of fries. The chicken is AMAZING! It has a light, crispy batter... and the sauces are gooooood. Also got the steak (garlic butter style) which was grilled to order, a nice portion and ONO!! Plenty ALOHA from the workers/owner... you can tell they appreciate the business. Will recommend to all my friends and family... already looking forward to the next time! read more

Juicy BBQ chicken and this is the place to get them. If you are on this side of the island stop by here, you won't regret it.

Ono grindz. Food was Excellent! Service was great! Friendly staffs that hooked us up. Braddah gave us extra.

First time here, and I gotta say the food was AMAZING. Me and my Wife came around 12:30am, and it's just so nice that there are food spots that are open, that's UNIQUE, and not the typical fast food that's open 24/7. We got the Pork Chop, New York Steak & the Tama Moko (egg w/ meatballs). The service was great! Ambience was nice and quiet, the area had a local feel to it, which was spot on to their business style. The employees were kind, courteous, and quick! We didn't wait long for our food. They packed up our food really well too. LOVE IT! we will definitely be back! Mahalo! 5 +++ read more

My girlfriend and I came by after running errands just before Christmas a few days ago. It was late, after 10, and we thought we'd look if there was anything other than fast food available, and Mop Central popped up. Thank God for that! The dude at the window was super chill and friendly. The food came out in a timely manner, and piping hot! And it was all so delicious and filling, we'd love to come back and try more of their menu! Generous helpings of everything are always nice, so bring your appetite if you make your way over... or pack some leftovers for lunch the next day! Either way, hard to go wrong with these guys! read more

Late night hunger got me here at mops central! Conveniently located in the Tropicana Square in Waipahu. Menu had numerous selections to chose from. Food truck is clean and well organized! The staff who worked at the window was friendly. He took my order and payment options were Cash, Card or Venmo! Yes Venmo! Super convenient! I opted to get the pork chops with brown gravy. Plate was nice and hot when I got my order. The portions were plenty. Pork chops were thick and nice sized! Gravy was on point! Very flavorful. It came with 2 scoops white rice and spaghetti salad. Omg that salad was yummy! I highly recommend you try Mop Central if you ever have a light night craving! They open till 1am! Nice! read more

Food not that great service junk 3 ppl behind me got their orders 1st waited almost an hour!

I ordered chicken with fire cracker sauce. It was all breading, barely any chicken. It was my first time there and it'll be my last.

I was super hungry after doing a target run. I was at Target with my best friend till about 9pm. Most food places were closed around this time so we decided to go on Yelp and see who's open late. And that's when we found Mops Central. I ordered the firecracker chicken and got my husband the 94 block pork chops. Price for both plates were $15. It was definitely worth it considering the plate makes you content and full. Will definitely return and try out more of their stuff. read more

Always saw there truck on ig so rivalry went to check then out and I always mop there plate lol awesome food

Best of the best, only food truck I'd go to constantly on this island. If you never try em, you losing out. Cool braddahs always working there. Owner is the best. Food is so good, you probably could never go a week without it once you try it. Get so much different flavors to choose from. Whatever you like they probably have, sweet, spicy, sweet and spicy. That's their specialty. If you cannot choose what to get, get the 94 block sauce. I ain't ever tried nothing like it before in my life until then. Don't wait until it's to late. Like they always say, gettem while it's covid. Some days they sell out so fast because they're hella popular down in ewa and kunia. Either way whatever they get and whatever you try, you can never go wrong because I guarantee you gonna like em. read more
