2 of 2 Yelp reviews. Quality/Quantity - A suggestion from Humboldt Bay Provisions and a home run! Today we got the following: Spicy Garlic Chicken Fries - #1 seller, so I have to try. Boy have I been eating so unhealthy on this trip, but you know that because you are following. Is that part of the reason I am having so much fun? This did not disappoint. I did not think it was very spicy, but my daughter said it was too spicy for her. Good thing she ordered the mild version of garlic chicken; see below. Decent portions. Garlic Chicken - A more mild version of the above. But with rice and mac rather than fries. A slightly healthier version. Ahi Poke Bowl - My wife's choice. Generous portions, especially the tuna; thank you. Because this is raw, we "forced" ourselves to finish this dish first. So good. And to wash it down, supporting local, Sticky Finger IPA. Ambiance - Small local business. The food truck was parked in the rear of the building. Due to the rain, I did not take pictures. Plenty of mall parking. Open 5 days a week, 11:30am to 7pm; closed on Monday and Tuesday. Service - Counter service. Overall okay. Price - $62 + tip. Reasonably priced as we pretty much took an entree to-go. We are light eaters. Owner Comment - Aloha, congrats on your success since 2017; we will be back! read more

First timer here! I was surprised with the spicy chicken garlic fries. I wish I could have ordered a side of sauce since the fries felt somewhat dry but delicious. The chicken was a generous portion. I enjoyed how patient the cashiers were. I used a VISA gift card and they didn't try to rush me, despite having clients in line. Thanks!! Moving forward, I am going to try and order dinner dishes to raise the rating. read more

The spicy garlic chicken is one of the best dishes they have. There has got to be black magic in the sweet chili aïoli sauce. Service is quick no matter the avenue you choose to get food. They have several ways to place an order. It's a cute litter place with a swing and little Pac-Man game to play. The staff is always delightful and detailed. Owners are super kind and work being the counter as well. It's been fun, trying different plates. I look forward to trying more. Always get extra sauce! read more

Topic: Pineapple Express Hawaiian Plate Lunch Date: 8/29/25 Quality: 8/10 Value: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Timeliness: 8/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 Total: 39/50 I got the Chicken Katsu plate with extra rice and fries. The food was very very good - and I ate the entire massive plate with ease. The restaurant itself was very packed and not a lot of room within. We noticed ants in the restaurant and many areas looked like they could use a good cleaning. Would 100% recommend if you're in the area! Room for growth in cleanliness and ambiance, but their menu is standout nonetheless. read more

We had the best experience with Pineapple Express for our wedding catering!!! The pork sliders and spam masubi were a huge hit with our guests. For the main dishes we went with pulled pork, chicken katsu, and seared ahi. I'm not a fan of fish, but this ahi was amazing. Everyone was raving about how awesome and unique it was to have a food truck for wedding catering. Big shout out to Codi and crew for making our big day absolutely perfect! read more

We ordered lunch from here for an event and it was delicious! They were great to work with and even delivered which made everything so much easier on us. The macaroni salad is amazing and I am still drooling over the Teri bbq chicken. I haven't been inside the restaurant yet, but the food is GOOD. I have been to the food truck and it's good there too, the only downside is the food wasn't heated up evenly and I got cold spots in the chicken, luckily it wasn't icy! If the line wasn't so crazy I would have asked for more heat up. Can't wait to eat in person soon! read more

Pineapple Express is hands down an amazing spot. The customer service is top-tier--everyone is friendly, welcoming, and actually seems to care that you're there. The food? Unreal. I usually get the dynamite chicken and oh my God... it's flavorful, perfectly cooked, and addicting in the best way. You can tell everything is made with care, not rushed or thrown together. This place never disappoints and easily stands out from the rest. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out read more

I've never been to the food truck, but have wanted to eat here since they opened their brick and mortar in the old "Humboldt Soup Company" building. I came in on a Thursday at about 6:30, , and the place was packed. even after waiting in line, there was a 30 minute wait to get food. I left. The next day, I did the smart thing and called ahead I ordered the loco moco. They said, "Sandwich, or plate"? I've never heard of a loco moco sandwich. I ordered the plate. I drove down. You can pick up your food inside, or you can go to the drive up window. I picked up my food, and headed home. Overall, it was good! The mac salad was creamy and delicious. The rice was a big portion, and perfectly done. The burger was a good size, tender and delicious, and also had mushrooms and onions. 2 minor misses for me. The eggs were good, but were just slightly overdone. When I popped them, I didn't get the amount of runny yolk that I love. Part of the yolk was solid. Also, while the gravy was good, I wish there had been more of it. The price was a tiny bit on the high end, but very worth it. I want to come back and try other things. Thanks!!! read more

This place has amazing food! I got a couple plates to try alittle of everything. The dynamite chicken was fiiire. The coconut shrimp and fires were top tier. The fries were crispy and well seasoned! The only disappointment and why this ain't five stars was the Mac salad was not good. ‍ I'm not sure if they just forgot to season it but it was disgustingly bland. Otherwise, everything was amazing. read more

The best Hawaiian in Humboldt (and maybe on the mainland). Coconut shrimp is to die for. The sauces are insane, the flavors are so robust. I love the garlic chicken, katsu chicken, poutine chicken, and even the Khalua pork sandwich. Guava nectar also divine. I love this place. Do not miss it when you're in town. read more

The katsu chicken was good tasted like BBQ sauce. However, I'm disappointed in the garlic shrimp plate. I was hoping for something tasting similar to the North Shore Giovanni's shrimp truck but unfortunately it didn't. Very burnt taste. read more

this place and the beach are the highlight of Eureka. it's classified as a food truck on Yelp and Google, but it's like a cafe/restaurant (there are chairs and tables inside you can eat at) with a drive through for pick up orders only. it's affordable and the portion sizes are HUGE ! pictures don't do it justice. i ordered the combo plate with popcorn chicken, spicy garlic chicken, white rice, and the mac salad. this is some of the best food i've ever had. the chicken is deep fried but so soft, juicy, and tender. definitely eat at this spot :) read more

Pineapple Express Food Truck - Combo Plate: Spicy Garlic Chicken, Popcorn Chicken, Mac Salad, 2 Scoops White Rice - $18.50 April 2026 - Hawaiian Near Me

Good and tasty food, pricey so that cost them a star, otherwise I definitely recommend!

This place is consistently cooking up great food! We've had them at the food truck located at the Eureka Friday Night market. Great little spot, cool breeze, great people and welcoming. They try pumping out food as fast as they can, because they are in DEMAND, but every plate is made with love and some island magic, you can just taste it. read more

Delectable! I had the shoyu chicken and wish I knew the best words to use to encourage everyone to try this plate. This chicken is really great, very tender with a hint of sweetness. Brown rice and macaroni salad accompanied the chicken, which was served in a bed of tasty cabbage. I will get the green salad next time since I'm not a huge fan of Mac salad (had to try it once though) but gonna have to go for the shoyu chicken again because when I find something that I find absolutely delightful, it's difficult to not order it. (In Arcata, you can now find the Pineapple Express truck on Fridays in a parking lot on F Street, back behind the Cal Poly store on the Plaza.) read more

The last time we came up to Eureka, we didn't have a chance to visit this restaurant. However we made the time a couple of weekends ago and I'm so happy we did. The food was fantastic!! I got the island fish fry and it was fantastic. The fish was crispy and light, it didn't feel greasy at all. The sauce was a chili garlic aoli which complimented the fish well. The fries were perfectly fried, and they were topped with katsu sauce and the same aoli that was used with the fish, and topped with furikake. I really wanted to finish the plate, but I ended up taking half of it home and it was still delicious after being air fried. My fiancé got the Northern Island style shrimp and it was good! He said it was more of a soy garlic sauce which was delicious. The shrimp was huge, and the sauce was sticking to the shell perfectly, and the rice was a great pairing for it. The slaw was kind of okay, we think it needed some more acid to balance out the richness of the shrimp. It didn't really have too much flavor to it in our opinion. The mac salad was good, always have to order it whenever we get any Hawaiian food. The noodles were just beyond al dente which gave them a nice texture. It was creamy and had a bit of herbiness to them which was really nice. My fiance said it tasted like home cooked Hawaiian food, and we enjoyed everything there. The restaurant was cute and it was easy to find since the building was painted a teal-ish color. It was starting to get pretty busy when we came in, a lot of tickets were being printed and it seemed like a good amount of orders were phone orders. They had two gaming machines and sold stickers too, and I wish I bought the musubi and shrimp sticker! I would love to come back here the next time I head up to Eureka. read more

Started out as a food truck and now has a store front. What can I say! Its was amazing. Visiting the area and happen to be next door at another restaurant. Watching a continuous stream of people go in on a Wednesday night def had me thinking it was the spot. The next day for lunch I paid a visit. The Katsu chicken was amazing! Also indulged in the dynamite fries. It's a much try! Service was decent, he was young and it was busy. I ended up taking it to go because the place was full. 100% worth it. read more

Pineapple Express Food Truck - BBQ Teriyaki Chicken (+grilled pineapple) - Hawaiian Near Me

I am still thinking about the food here. We drove through Eureka and I was a little concerned because not that many places were looking good on Yelp. My husband has pretty specific dietary needs so we tend to stick with asian food. The pictures of the food for pineapple express are what got me, it looked really good on yelp and once we read reviews saying there was an eat-in location we decided to head here for lunch. It was pretty busy, there were a few people in line and not many available tables, but once we ordered there were a couple tables available so that was not an issue. My husband ordered the shoyu chicken with double rice and I ordered the Island Style fish and chips. The food came out so much faster than I thought and looked soooo good, I was practically drooling. One bite of the furikake fries and I was in love. The sauce... omg... the sauce. It was so freaking good that I went through probably half the fries before even touching the fish. When I did take a bite of the fish... heaven. So tender, perfectly cooked, crispy breading and not super fatty or greasy. I ate the entire thing which was a terrible idea because it was way too much food for me. I was painfully full afterwards, but it was a really healthy (or not) portion size. My husband said his chicken was cooked perfectly and really enjoyed his food. I didn't try any because the portion of chicken was a bit small and he couldn't eat mine due to previous mentioned dietary restrictions plus I was already struggling with my own meal. The very nice and helpful woman in front of me in line told me she is obsessed with the coconut shrimp so I would probably try that next time, but unfortunately we don't live anywhere near here *sob*. Honestly, I would probably drive the 11 hours it takes to get from LA to Eureka just to eat here again, it was that good! Go get some! read more

This was my first time inside the actual restaurant but I've had the food from the food trucks many times now. Absolutely delicious every time.

Delicious and lots of vegetarian options. Fuakake fries were awesome and my kids really liked the curry bowl

The truck is now up north in mactown on wednesdays and its definitely worth a stop. Quick friendly service, the menu is to the point, lunch plates and sandos with some cool apps with a daily special board. Solid flavors and a cool menu as well as daily specials. I went with a special of that day the pulled pork mango tacos and they were very good, full flavored and just enough spicy, served with fried chips and a mango chutney/salsa. Pulled pork mango tacos off the board, delicious three fat tacos with white corn shells stuffed full with tender pulled pork with jalepenos, bbq sauce, a little shredded lettuce and mango chutney. Three is a lot, and you could easily share this with someone. I ate two and saved the third for the next day, and it was still tasty as leftovers. This food truck has just started coming to north humboldt, if you see them well worth a stop and try. I plan to stop the next time I see them as well. 4 Stars a solid food truck with good food 00890 read more

I was passing through town and stumbled upon this unique gem! I absolutely love local island flavors and appreciated the great food and local brews. The food was amazing and the staff were awesome. If you're hungry you'll enjoy stopping and filling up with some traditional island cuisine. The furikake fries are amazing and the grilled spicy chicken plate was delicious. read more

Pineapple Express Food Truck - Coconut Shrimp - Hawaiian Near Me

The best Hawaiian plate lunches I've had in California! We visited their new restaurant location and ordered the coconut shrimp (perfectly crispy and with toppings and amazing furikake fries), the shoyu chicken (so flavorful and with ono mac salad), and kalua pig nachos (wonton chips with smoky, perfectly cooked kalua pork, jack cheese, and house pineapple-mango chutney). Then the next day, we came back for more (chicken katsu sandwich, haku salad with coconut shrimp, coconut shrimp and rice). So delicious, generous portions, absolutely worth the drive up from SF! read more

First time in their restaurant. Dirty dirty, dirty. Dirty tables. Dirty windows, slow service. Blinding sun no matter whete you sit. Food fair. Dirty floors. Flies.

My family and I had been wanting to try this place but it was always so busy that the line was out the door and we didn't. Today we decided to go. I wanted to love it, I really did. I couldn't even like it, honestly. First impression- cute inside, but dirty seating, floor, and lots of employees standing around. We really had one seating option that wasn't absolutely filthy, and the door was open so there were flies inside. I get it, we get flies here, but it was bad and they were landing on our face and body, cups, table, etc. definitely should have a screen door! The sun was in our face so we wanted to move, but again, the tables were dirty and we saw some sort of sauce on the floor underneath, so we stayed in our seat. Food- decent, but not great. Not one of us finished our food, and I have two teenaged boys that play sports and eat pretty much anything. I got Kalua pig and it was ok, the sauce was awful and tasted like plain ketchup with sugar in it. The mac salad was bland and definitely needed salt, and my rice was gooped together into one big clump. My husband got some teriyaki chicken or something. He liked the chicken but hated the sauce and the sauce was on the rice, so he basically ate chicken that he wiped clean of the sauce. Bummed that we spent $70 there and we all thought it was "meh" read more

Staff and service was great! Waited less than 15 minutes for our food during lunch rush. Being vegan with a gluten allergy, my options in Humboldt county are extremely limited. There were at least two options on their menu that catered to my dietary choices/allergy which is a lot more than other restaurants in the area. My only complaint was that my tofu poke bowl was so salty, it was inedible. :( My son's chicken katsu and fries were also covered in salt. Good news, is that they take food allergens seriously and I did not get sick from any cross contamination I am so appreciative that they have options for me and I will be back in the future. I hope that today was just a fluke. Looking forward to trying again in the future. read more

An absolute must stop if traveling thru and now a daily staple if you are local! The most authentic Hawaiian plate lunch in Humboldt! Codi is the real deal and brings her years of experience from her home in Hawaii to her second home in Southern Humboldt and now to Northern Humboldt with their new brick and mortar restaurant . Fresh local fish caught in Shelter Cove Ca and off Humboldt Bay, a menu that's really diverse and well thought out and seriously everything is delicious so you can try something new every time and never get bored. They hand make EVERYTHING with so much ONO even the sauces! Jay ask how many ingredients go into the dipping sauces for the best coconut shrimp ever!

Food is absolutely AMAZING!!! The fish and chips are killer, sauces all fantastic and the breading is thick and crunchy. I could go on and on.

Who knew there was such a great Hawaiian experience on the Avenue of the Giants?! I surprised my hubby, who only knew we were going to a food truck, which he was excited about. Imagine his happy reaction when he saw the menu! We both got Spam musubi and shared Kalua pork nachos and the shoyu chicken plate with mac salad. I also got a POG (papaya, orange, guava) to really round out my island reminiscing. The meats were all cooked and seasoned PERFECTLY. The mac salad had a little too much mayo (the noodles were limp and almost falling apart in my chopsticks) and not quite enough seasoning. The musubi could have also used a little furikake and thicker Spam slice, but it was delicious and a little sweet. Truly a perfect meal before an epic trek to Needle Rock and Bear Harbor! Note, this place is grab-and-go, so expect to eat in your car (you can also place orders by phone). Gas station next door has lots of drink options if needed. read more

The service is fantastic as long as you are aware it's a new restaurant and they have large amounts of demand so you will wait a bit. They dressed up the ambiance and have cute swing area and chairs outside to wait for orders. They give you a pager for to go orders so you can wander which was nice. read more
