Wow, just wow. Cute local food truck with plenty of shaded outdoor tables. Pure aloha from beginning to end. This would be my plate lunch go to if I lived on island. Now, if they'd only share their peanut sauce recipe! So ono!

Lots of aloha for Pineapple Express! We were so glad we could stop by and loved all the food. Super friendly and terrific service. Nice and relaxing with some picnic table seating if you want to eat there, but perfect for takeaway meals to your favorite beach. We wish we could've come back again! If you're in Kapa'a, def go visit! Loco moco was eaten before I could take a picture.

Great food truck in Kapa'a with seating available. The food never disappoints. I'm also a big fan of their specials. The owner is very friendly and the service is quite fast.

3.5 stars. Lone food truck in a lot with a few parking spaces, another eating establishment and another food truck around the corner. We shared 2 items, fried spam musubi and pork Lau Lau which came with rice and a scoop of Mac cheese. The pork was juicy and moist. Mac cheese was OK. I didn't care for the fried musubi. It had chopped bits is Spam instead of whole slice on top of the rice. What I liked the most was the lilikoi lemonade with a delicious mix of the 2 flavors.

Kalua Spam Musubi

Stopped here directly after my flight for a quick snack, and this was the BEST fresh & tasty food to have after a flight. I love the variety of options on the menu and the prices are really good too. Also, the lady in the front was so nice I've never had any Spam Musubi like this, but it was SO good I loved the crispiness and the flavor. I ubered from the airport for $7 (if there's a surge, just wait 5-20 mins until it goes down.) Also, it's right on the left of Walmart. Thanks for the yummy food & a nice welcome to Kaua'i! Mahalo!

Hawwian plate with kalua pork
Kas D.

Amazing spot to try for authentic kalua pork! It's a tiny food truck in a parking lot but nothing short of flavor. Will be back the next time we are on the island!

Steak, Mac and rice with an egg on top.

I saw this food truck and decided to stop by. I got the Steak, Mac and rice with an egg on top. Absolutely incredible and would come back again! Thank you for the delicious and fresh food!

Ahhhh.... What a great place. Great food, great smells, and an awesome chef! If you are near the Walmart give this a try. After getting the food back to the resort I can honestly say that it was excellent. After my frustrating experience this morning at The Kountey Kitchen in Kapaa I would recommend this location hands down. Keep up the good work.

Scan and see!

We came right as they were closing, I believe they ran out of a lot of things so they closed a little early, keep that in mind when planning this for an early dinner. I ordered the Garlic Furikake Chicken plate (comes with Mac salad and rice) but they were out of Mac salad :( so they doubled the rice. That's easily the best chicken I've ever had! I'm bummed they ran out of Mac salad but I'd definitely just plan to come earlier instead of when they were closing. The lady I ordered from was very nice and complimented my Selena shirt (anything for Selena!:) she helped me along with my order and I ended up loving what I got. Definitely recommend! It's located in the Walmart parking lot so there's plenty of parking too!

Chili chicken
Veronica P.

This was my favorite place I tried while visiting the island for 6 days. Very friendly service. Ordered the fried chili chicken with mac salad, it was hot & fresh and delicious. The mac salad was my favorite compared to other places as well. I also ordered the fried spam musubi. I was mind blown. I loved that it was in the form of a little roll. So amazing. Do not miss out on this little food truck in the Walmart parking lot in Lihue!

The musubi was so good! Tried one of each and was impressed by both - the tempura special was incredible as well

Very friendly and quick service. We had the green Buddha bowl, which had a great ginger sauce. Will definitely get food from them again.

Somehow managed to be a complete idiot and ordered from the wrong location. The woman at the…read morecounter was much nicer than she needed to be at my mistake and called the other location to let them know. She charged me only for the Hapa Poke Bowl since it was cold but not for the Anykine Bento which was extremely generous. The poke bowl was fantastic! Fish was fresh and delicious. My partner enjoyed the Anykine bento and just wished there was a larger portion. Will definitely return on our next visit to the island.

The food was amazing, but unfortunately the service wasn't. I understand that working with tourists…read moreall day can be challenging, but not every visitor is the same. The employee who took my order was rude and even yelled at me because she couldn't hear me over the loud music playing in the food truck. I ordered the poke bowl special, which was supposed to come with their famous tots, but the tots were missing from my order. I considered going back to ask for them, but honestly, I didn't because I was worried the employee would be even ruder than she was when I placed my order. I also tipped 20% because I truly believe in taking care of people who work in the service industry. We also tried the katsu musubi and the fried musubi, and all three dishes were absolutely delicious. We've visited both locations, and while the food was excellent at each, the Poʻipū location lacked the warm, welcoming spirit you'd hope to experience while visiting Kauaʻi. That said, much aloha to Kauaʻi. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to come back.
