    After the Rudy Ducusin family lived in Vegas for 13 years and worked with top chefs Thomas Keller and Wolfgang Puck, Rudy had a passion to own his own business. The family moved back to HI and started their food truck business in 2019 and called it "Str'Eats of Aloha," meaning that it would be hustling through the streets with their take on Hawaiian and Asian-inspired local comfort food. While the food truck operates at various special events, they have a brick-and mortar shop that opened in 2022 for take-out on Sand Island Access Rd in Kalihi. They also offer catering services. Str'Eats of Aloha offers generous portions of local-inspired plate lunches, bentos, and fusion dishes, such as guava smoked pork belly, pork mozzarella cutlet w/ chorizo gravy, and char siu fried noodles. Breakfast and various desserts are also offered. I had the Str'Eats Bento #2 that included furikake rice, teri beef, shrimp katsu, garlic shrimp, mandoo (2 pcs), and char siu fried noodles. The yakisoba noodles are made locally by Sun Noodles and are seasoned in a homemade sauce and topped with generous amounts of kamaboko, green onions, and chunks of char siu. The noodles are very tasty, and I couldn't believe the generous amounts of char siu (some of them chunks even!), minced kamaboko, and sliced green onions! I even used the leftover noodles for simian! The teri beef was also tasty and tender. I enjoyed the huge piece of flavorful garlic chicken, the jumbo shrimp, and the tasty mandoo! All the items complemented each other well! A winner for sure! Very impressive bento that I shared with my hubby and even had leftovers for another meal! I also tried the pork hash (siu mai) and found them to be of a good size and very tasty! Love that Str'Eats of Aloha partners with the Pork Hash Factory to bring these to us! Customer service is friendly and efficient, with the person taking your order very knowledgeable about their menu items. Prices are very reasonable. As everything is made-to-order, be prepared to wait during peak hours for your take-out; it's best to call and pre-order for fast pickup. A very popular eatery, as you'll always find customers waiting outside for their orders. The small shop area is designed for take-out only, as you wait outside until your order is ready. Most of the shop interior is the kitchen and prep area. The walls near the entrance have photos of their menu items, a blue-and-white menu hangs from the ceiling, a hand-written whiteboard of specials stands on the floor, and a clear refrigerated display case that houses their various desserts. Hours of operation are Mon to Fri 6a to 1p, Sat/Sun closed. Located in a row of businesses with Lunch Box of HI nearby (think of the giant konbu musubi and spicy mochiko chicken), free parking fronting the shop and alongside the building complex is available, which is shared among the various businesses. While parking may be difficult to find during peak dining hours, most businesses there are pick-up and go, so spaces become available if you wait. Str'Eats of Aloha also supports local organizations in promoting Hawaii culture and cuisine. Can't wait to try their other menu items, knowing that that food will be of high quality, flavorful, be generous in portion, in having choices, and be of reasonable cost as to its value. May the Ducusin family have continued success with their business!

    Jumbo shrimp katsu plate
    Shelby S.

    I checked out Streats of Aloha at New Wave Night Market tonight. The girl who took my order was super friendly and the food came out really fast. I got the jumbo shrimp katsu. I'd been really excited to try it after seeing it on instagram because they looked so good. The katsu itself was crispy and tasted pretty good, but I personally felt the siracha mayo took away from the flavor rather than adding to it. I want to be clear that this may have just been personal taste preference as I know this place is popular and people like it! The plate had three jumbo shrimp katsus, rice, tuna Mac salad, and a sweet bread roll for $18, which is a realllllly good price for the amount of food in that plate! It could easily be 2 meals.

    Salmon Katsu Overload

    My go to for the best plate lunches! Every food truck event I go to, I always look for this one! And most times, they're there! They are always hustlin' & always have a line. I mostly visit this truck at Pearl Country Club (now Pearl At Kalauao) for their monthly night market. My #1 to get here is their Salmon Katsu Overload and it's only $20!! It comes with 1-2 filets of fried katsu, topped with imitation crab, mayo, unagi sauce & Taegu! Not only that, salad, a bed of rice, & a kings Hawaiian roll. Overall, great deal for such a hefty plate! I'll definitely be looking out for this truck at my next food truck event!

    Brahhhh so ono! My suggestion is to try everything! My wife and I been coming here from before when they only did food truck events and now that they get one shop off sand island and it's only 5 mins from our house it's even better! Everything is ono and you won't be disappointed.

    My husband was scrolling in the yelp app and saw several yelpers yelp this place on sand island access road. So today being a holiday we tried them. And boy the yelpers weren't kidding about the food. Thanks to yelper friend Allen N. He had the pork adobo fried rice and boy hes wasnt joking it was good and alot. My husband had their mini breakfast with bacon. Wow 3 eggs any way you like it made and 2 thick slices of bacon. My husband said it was too much rice for him. But it was good. My fried rice was good in the taste and the pork had some fat and lots of meat. The taste was spot on good. I have the leftover for my dinner and my husband will have smoke pork belly plate for he's dinner. No dessert today I ask the cashier and she smile. Maybe this week might have don't know. Will be back again. Please note: They do make it fresh so be expecting to wait for your food.

    After reading reviews from Jo Y. and Allen N. I told my wife let's give Str Eats of Aloha a try. Yes this is simple eatery. An interior is just a display counter for their desserts and a register. Along with a menu display sign. Service was friendly. They had a sign letting you know that food is prepared to order and it would take a few minutes to do your order. I ordered a mini breakfast with Guava Bacon. It came with two thick slices of bacon and three eggs made your way. I also ordered the Guava Pork Belly for my dinner. My wife had the Pork Adobo Fried rice. We both enjoyed our food and would not hesitate to come back.. Lots of food for the price. Jo Y. and Allen N. thanks for your reviews of this restaurant. Enjoy

    Pork adobo with fried rice
    Allen N.

    Str'Eats of Aloha is a hidden gem in the Sand Island area. Generous portions, bold local flavors, and a wide selection. Everything made to order, so be prepared to wait, especially during the lunch rush, the line can get quite long. Highly recommend a pork adobo with fried rice. The taste is ono.

    Town & Country
    Damian M.

    After following Str'Eats of Aloha for almost an entire year, I was finally able to catch the food truck at the Megabon Hawaii 2025. If you know this place, you're familiar with the large plates of food put out on front of the truck, all consisting of local and asian comfort foods such as shrimp katsu, Teri beef, fried noodles, and more. I ordered the Town & Country, which came with two massive shrimp katsu on a bed or of char sui fried noodles, an order of teri beef, and a large scoop of rice. If you see this food truck, run, don't walk to it. The food is ono, and you'll be wanting more as soon as you wake up from your kanak attack.

    Butter rolls
    Kainani K.

    I heard good things about Str'Eats of Aloha and decided to stop by for lunch. The young lady taking orders was really nice and patient as I asked about the different plates. I ended up getting two #2 bentos , which came with a piece of shrimp tempura, mandoo, garlic chicken, teriyaki beef, noodles and rice. I also got two guava smoked meat plates and a dozen butter rolls. The plates were $14.50 each, and they are really generous with the portions; the plates were worth the price. The garlic chicken was really flavorful and paired well with the noodles. The mandoo had a really nice umami flavor that went nicely with the teriyaki beef and noodles. My daughter and son-in-law both agreed that the smoked meat was absolutely delicious, but everyone agreed that the butter rolls were absolutely perfect! They were super soft and absolutely delicious! This will be my go-to place for butter rolls from now on. I'll definitely be back to try the roast brisket with gravy because I heard good things about this plate, and they were sold out when I got there.

    Located I. Sand island, parking can be tight at peak hours, was lucky , got a spot. Called in order, they do get busy. Ordered, Da manapua special, was winnahazzz. Kinda close to when I was a child. 2 pork hash, fried noodles and fried chicken. I also ordered the lechon kawali, was another winnahazzz! They sell desserts, wanted to get the ube cream puff but I think it's on certain days. This shop is only take out. Friendly staff, and many other specials. Will definitely come back, see you there .

    Went to Str'Eats of Aloha and got a Bento #2 which came with Teri beef, Garlic Chicken, shrimp Tempura, Mandoo over a bed of fried Noodles with rice and furikake. ok I've been meaning to eat here for a while and I guess it was worth the wait the Teri beef tasted good although not the flavor of old times it was good. The Garlic Chicken was tasty and the noodles were as good as it gets. The Mandoo was okay but good enough and the Shrimp Tempura was pretty good too. The plate(Bento) reminded me of some old Massive plate lunch spot of long ago was so heavy! Parking was adequate although I can see it get crowded at times. The counter girl was pleasant and made the experience good. I definitely would come back again!

    Located right off Nimitz Hwy, on Sand Island Access Road in a small strip mall. Greeted by a friendly face, the gal taking the orders didn't rush us to decide. Take note: they aren't a fast food restaurant. They make everything as it's ordered. So if you're in a rush, maybe try someplace else that day. Both bentos were packed heavily & piping hot. Fried noodles weren't anything to complain about but weren't as tasty as others I've had. Teri-beef was soft & flavorful, mochiko chicken was hearty & tasty. Will definitely go back to try other dishes.

We started with a shrimp elote special and the chicken liver mousse. The shrimp elote was unique and flavorful. The mousse was my favorite thing of the night. So rich and creamy and the cherry marmalade paired so well with it. Love that they provided ample bread to go with it. I had to try the la chancla cocktail - the mayo washed mezcal caught my eye. It sounds a little strange but it was very good and was quite strong. For entrees we got the carbonara and zucchini lemon risotto. The carbonara was really rich and the Portuguese sausage added a nice touch. Looking at pictures of it beforehand I was worried the portion size would be small but it's served on a large bowl making the portion look smaller than it is. The risotto had a refreshing tangy sweetness from the lemon. Both have the option of adding on crispy prosciutto for $4. We didn't but saw some that other people ordered and it looked amazing - next time! One of the servers there provided a great recommendation with a wine pairing for the carbonara and let me try a rose before committing. It wasn't something I would normally have chosen but it worked well and I'm grateful for his helpfulness.

Waited over ten minutes to even get greeted and was not sure if this would cause us to miss happy hour. I did see one of the servers more focused on a baby in a carrier then waiting on tables. When our server finally came, different from the baby lady, we had to ask for menus but knew we needed to order a couple of HH food items cause it will take a while. They were out of Stella so settled for a Japanese Pilsner, which was surprisingly better than expected. Daughter ordered their Mac and cheese with chix.

Our server came over and got us started pretty quick. 3 in the group ordered mules and by the time I was ready to order one they ran out of ingredients for mules. This kind of sucked mid way through happy hour and one of the main drinks on that menu is not available. Not to worry, we tried a few of the other selections including the cucumber collins, and the mojito. We also ordered some appetizers and food, the fried mozzarella was very good, along with the wings. The wings were cooked well and were crispy. Our friends had the chicken sandwich and the fish and chips and both were enjoyed. Overall it was a good time with food and drinks and trivia. If you're around give them a try.

It's definitely one of the best butter fish in a non-Japanese restaurant. It's buttery, with the perfect level of the miso flavor that's not salty or blend/no miso flavor. The fish it's cooked into perfection that's not overcooked. Although it's pricery compare to other dishes, but it's worth it; especially the butter fish is a pretty big size that comes w/ salad and rice. Grilled Garlic Chicken 4.5/5: The garlic chicken is not the same as a regular garlic chicken that you get from a barbecue restaurant; it doesn't have that barbecue sauce flavor. However, it's still taste pretty good. The garlic flavor is there, but not so strong that over power the taste of the chicken. More importantly, chicken is not overcooked as some restaurants can overcook the chicken. However, it comes w/ gravy on top of the chicken. If you eat it w/ the gravy, you probably will it be able to taste the garlic. Mac Nut Waffard 4.5/5 This is not the regular waffles. This "waffard" it's the Mac nut waffle that comes with their iconic custard, fruits and whipped cream. The waffle is super soft & fluffy with a crispy outside edges. Also, the waffle is not mushy, rather, it has a slightly mochi/chewy texture. The waffle is also not over sweet that actually can be pair with their famous custard fillings. Pancakes 5/5 I normally not a pancake person because I am afraid that it can be over sweet or very bland that has no taste but a flour flavor. But I fall in love with the pancake at first try because it's soooo fluffy and soft! More importantly, it's not sweet that actually can be paired with syrup and butter. However, it's also not bland that can be just eaten by itself without syrup or butter. Hands down on it! Plus, the size of the pancake is actually pretty big.

    So so good, Hawaiian classic. It was our first spot as soon as we landed and so glad it was the…read more1st!

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
