Hubby and I decided to try this place for lunch as we pass it everyday on our way to and from our…read morehome. Tbh, everything on their menu sounded delicious and we had a hard time deciding what to order. Luckily the friendly girl working at the counter was patient with us and happily answered any questions we had. We decided on a hotdog, Philly steak sandwich with their amazing garlic aioli sauce, cheese fries with garlic aioli, cheese pita (think of it as a grilled cheese pita on overdrive) and blueberry crumble for dessert. Considering what we ordered and the fact that they had a line, the wait time wasn't long at all plus there was only one girl working the grill too. Everything was flavorful and seasoned perfectly! Good sized portions that we also have enough leftovers for dinner too! Located in a lot right next to a park makes it a great place to eat your meal at. We can't wait to go back!!

I ordered the vegan gyro because of a good review on HappyCow. When I called, they said that the…read moresauce is not vegan so vegan ones are served without the sauce. They still ended up giving me the sauce, though? And the food was fine, nothing special or filling. Not worth the price. The fries aren't vegan because of duck fat.

Woh. Attitude & slow service…read more The food was fine. TACOS: The taco prices are reasonable. BURRITOS: The burritos are not big enough to justify the price. NACHOS: The nachos are good. THE SERVICE THO OMG The service was very poor. Maybe it was just a bad day for the girl taking orders. THE VIBE The ambiance is a parking lot loaded with flies and puddles. Definitely not a date spot. FINAL THOUGHT If the service is routinely this bad and there are always 1,000 flies, I recommend eating elsewhere.

The Yellow Sub is just perfect on both, and my Lemongrass Roast Pork Bahn mi was just wonderful, crispy fresh roll with succulent fresh cooked pork that was beautifully spiced. I washed it down with a Thai Iced Tea, also just right. Did I mention that the prices are low and that this is a very pleasant place to stop and eat?

Hands down consistent delicious food. I generally give them 5 stars. Not today as the service was…read morerude and not consistent with what I've previously experienced. Actually the lady announced it to everyone that "we just let people seat themselves nowadays" to another customer which was towards us. As we walked in we were not greeted. So we picked a seat and sat down. Then we seen the sign amongst all the other signs. Truly embarrassing experience and if she just told us or had we seen the sign we would have known. Ambiance is opened air with little AC. Clean but could use updating of their customer service and signage.

I don't eat beef but one of the options on their menu was a blackened ono sandwich. I love fish so I'm glad I could get something from here. The lady said their most popular is the bacon mushroom swiss. Sounds good and I'd get it if I ate beef and bacon. The blackened ono burger tasted fresh and came with a bag of chips. The food truck is located on the side of the Prince Kūhio Plaza shopping mall. I think there used to be a Sear's over there. If you're ever in the area, I recommend trying this food truck. Be mindful that they only take cash. Their neighbor is Bite the Eye food truck which is also very good. Support local businesses!
