Fantastic malasadas, best on the island. Hot and fresh every time. Look for the food trucks!read more

A friend of mine who lives on the BI strongly recommended this malasada spot as she knows and…read moreunderstands my previous disappointment with two other malasada places on the BI, as well as the standard I'm used to from a particular spot on Oʻahu. She assured me these were made to order and, most importantly, not biscuits pretending to be malasadas. So far, we are winning! The location was easy to find, and on a Wednesday morning the line was minimal -- small kine wait. I ordered a dozen to share with our friends from Kentucky who had NEVER had a malasada before, so I was excited to introduce them to this deliciousness. First impression: these malasadas are HUGE. Like baseball-sized huge. And true to what I was told, they were made to order and came out piping hot! We ordered cinnamon and powdered sugar, which was new for me since I'm used to malasadas coated in granulated sugar. They were so hot that the powdered sugar immediately started melting into them. First bite? Not bad. Definitely NOT the biscuit like texture I experienced at another BI spot, so that was already a win. But they still didn't quite have that soft, pillowy texture I was hoping for. That being said, these were easily better than the other two malasada places we tried on the BI in the past. Our Kentucky friends, however, had absolutely no complaints. I'm pretty sure there were some squeals and happy dancing happening, so their first malasada experience was clearly a success. If you've never had a malasada before, this is definitely a good place to start. They're huge, made to order, served piping hot, and most importantly, not biscuit dense. Of the malasadas I've tried on the BI, these have definitely been the best. Oʻahu still holds my malasada heart, though. IYKYK.

Hannah has this spot rocking and it's not just because of the traffic flying by that shakes the cart. She's patient, funny, and LOVES this work. The staff in there are working with a fryer, and it's hot. I could see sweat on Hannah's face. She still had a smile and was willing to chat. Great service all around! The new item is Dubai chocolate malasada! It's an added $7 more for this trendy treat. Hannah showed me the pistachio cream filling used and the type of chocolate bar with a thick layer of crispy bits, it's all imported. This is the legit stuff. Minimum Malasada purchase is three and you won't be disappointed if you have to eat more than planned. Hannah made sure I got napkins because she knew what was about to go down. I definitely got the holy trinity if haupia, guava, and lilikoi. It's a must! I tried it without a sugar dusting and I think I'll go back to the sugar, why not.

It has the perfect amount of crunch, is incredibly flavorful, and was definitely my fave. Second best was the pork belly. I also loved the fresh coconut mango sago drink, made with real mango chunks and wasn't overly sweet, which made it so refreshing. The spread also included fried rice, mixed vegetables, crispy tofu, dumplings, and ube cream puffs, and everything was well prepared and satisfying. We were definitely spoiled with such a delicious lunch. I'll happily order from Ho Jah again!

Tried this food truck for the first time and I'm already planning my next visit!…read more I had the pork belly lunch box, the crispy tofu snack, and a mango boba drink. Everything was SO good. The pork belly was juicy and flavorful -- melt-in-your-mouth kind of good. Loved the little touches like the tea egg and pickled radish, which balanced everything out. The cabbage was a standout -- soft, saucy, and absolutely delicious. Definitely not your average side. The crispy tofu came in a paper bag with a stick (super fun presentation). I went with the garlic pepper flavor -- crispy outside, soft and pillowy inside, with just the right amount of spice. There's another flavor called Li hing mui, which I'll be trying next time! The mango boba drink was light, fruity, and really refreshing. Perfect finish to the meal.
