    This is a super hole in the wall place with surprisingly nice ambiance in December! Grab a table and enjoy the view of 'Āhuimanu stream as it exits to the ocean. We had the satay chicken, which had a really delicious peanut sauce and pad Thai; which was a bit too sweet for my taste. The woman working the front was really nice and gave us some extra turon (banana lumpia) with coconut (that was delicious!). Swing next door to the shop to grab drinks if you don't see something you like.

    Not a fan.....not tasty! Not memorable! Palatable but do not recommend. Coming from the mainland I am insanely fortunate to have been exposed to good Thai food and having visited Thailand dined in authentic cuisine. Ordered a Thai tea ($4) and it was one of the most disgusting drinks I ever had with a bitter/spoiled taste. We also ordered Pad See Ew and Garlic Chicken each priced at $17 but hardly worth $3each. Save your money and go Hawaiian!

    After visiting the Byono-In temple, the family wanted some Thai food and decided on a small food truck on the side of the road. Also, shout out to food trucks all over Hawaii, since they seem to get a lot of yelp spots. Everyone enjoyed their food, we ordered garlic shrimp, green curry, papaya salad, sweet chili shrimp and shrimp pad Thai. The family was happy and so was I. Just a side note, they actually had a couple of restrooms in back, primitive but clean, I was thankful to say the least. This was a very nice find here in Eastern Oahu. Maybe you'll stumble on it some day.

    I highly recommend the pork chops here. We come here specifically for the deep fried pork goodness. Tommy is the owner and super friendly. Please note it is cash only. There is seating and unofficial parking in the dirt lot. You can choose jasmine or sticky rice with your entree. Step up to the window to order. Happy eating.

    Veggie pad thai but it really was veggie pad SA ew

    So disappointed in the food. We saw other reviews and were very excited to give it a try. We got vegetarian pad Thai (they were out of tofu), the spring rolls, papaya salad (medium spice). The pad Thai was actually pad SA ew. The noodles were thick and was a little soggy. It tasted good but that's not what we ordered. The noodles to veggie ratio was way off. I wish there would've been more noodles. The spring rolls might've been the best thing we got but this was just an appetizer and we aren't basing this review only on a good appetizer. Serviced with sweet fish sauce dipping sauce. The papaya salad was such a huge serving but tasted so bland. Couldn't tell there was any spicy heat in it. Also could hardly taste any fish sauce or lime or any other flavors that you would get from papaya salad. Such a disappointment.

    A lot of food! Very tasty! Having asked for Thai Hot, it was big time Thai Hot! Excellent food . I will be back. Will try to get on a regular schedule

    Veggie pad Thai

    Delicious food with wonderful view of the mountains! The staff is super friendly. I highly recommend the veggie pad Thai. There is cover for rain. (:

    Pad Thai with chicken (i requested no peanuts)

    This hidden Thai food truck is located by the Kahalu'u convenient store across of 711. There is parking under the tree right in front of the truck and some benches to sit and enjoy your food. I made a take out order or chicken pad Thai and chicken panang curry. My food was ready in 10 minutes! All their plates are only $11 no tax, cash only. So for my two items I paid only $22! It is such a deal for the amount they give and the food is tasty!! The curry comes with some jasmine rice and lots of curry sauce plus vegetables in it. The pad Thai had so much noodles and the entire container was full to the top! I would definitely recommend this truck and plan to come back to try their other dishes. You really can't go wrong for $11! The man and woman who helped me were extremely friendly too! :)

    Penang curry and sticky rice

    Great food, excellent service. The owner is one of the most genuinely kind people I've met while trying different Thai food places around island. Very good quality food and you could taste how fresh the veggies were in the curry. He was very insightful for food choices and tips. He was very welcoming which isn't always common. They're worth a stop if you are craving some Thai food or a good experience. Can't wait for my next time to drive across island to try something else on the menu.

    Came here for lunch b/c the hubby wanted to pick up food from the food truck vendor who also parks in the same area. Loved the pad thai (very generous serving!) and friendly owner, however, I was a bit turned off by the fact that he was not wearing a face covering.

Looked up local food trucks…read morenearby that sells fresh shrimp plate lunches near Kaneohe, and this one popped up and looked bomb. Totally worth it and would tell all my local friends and fam about this place because the food was that ono!!! We ordered the steak fried rice, the garlic shrimp and chicken plate, the coconut shrimp, and the Hawai'i chop steak plate. All fireeeeeee!!! About $18/each. Cash only! Support this local braddah. He doesn't say much, all business, but his food speaks volumes. My favorite was the fried rice, so tasty and garlicky, it was hard to put down my fork. Mahalo Nome Ono!! Last but not least, the location is situated right off a roundabout next to a HUGE banyan tree, and has views of the valley with picture perfect palm trees overlooking the Ahuimanu stream inlet. Couldn't have been a more enjoyable experience! The only con was the flies that swarmed around our food were a bit annoying, so had to keep shoo-Ing them off..but at least there weren't mosquitos. Can't help the flies wanted in on the delicious food too! Haha, we'll live.

It was a rainy, overcast day, and the unpaved parking lot was muddy and wet. There was a tarped area with picnic tables and benches, but we didn't want to stay and eat because of the flies. I think there would be feral chickens if it wasn't raining. We both ordered Steak Fried Rice ($18 cash only) from the cheerful, helpful man. The food came out really hot in the takeout container. Luckily, I had a towel so that my niece could hold our meals on her lap in the car without getting burned. The fragrance of the food was delicious! It was torture driving to Windward Mall! We couldn't wait to find a table in air conditioning and sit down! We both dove into our containers. Everything looked good and had yummy flavor. Too bad the steak was a bit chewy from the gristle. Maybe next time, we should share a crab fried rice for $29?

Look for it when you pass the traffic circle by the Hygenic Store. I parked right there at the store's gravel parking area. The menu was intriguing and the fragrances were inviting! The woman inside the truck was very friendly! I appreciate the Kama'aina discount! The man outside the truck had the Aloha Spirit, too, and helped me with my food photo, as well as packaging up my containers!

We went here because we met Solé at the Waikiki location and he suggested we try his sister's location. They have the same food, but different vibe. This one is on the side of the road closes around 6 or 7, depending on the traffic. Very island life vibe. They also have a shave ice truck right next to them. I got the creamy garlic shrimp. OMG it was so yummy! I LOVED it. It's not like all the other shrimp places in the island. This is creamy and garlicky. It's not spicy. It comes with rice and even the sauce with the rice tastes sooooo good. I didn't eat the mac salad because it has shredded tuna. My bf got the Trydis Mix with the creamy garlic shrimp and bone-in short rib. He really enjoyed the meat, it was very flavorful and tender. It was grilled to perfection! The service was amazing. I don't remember her name, but Solé's (I hope I'm spelling it correctly) sister was friendly. She checked up on us to make sure everything was good. I truly can't wait to come back! The only thing is we did get blocked by some kids parking on the lot blocking the exit. We had to get out of the car and ask them to move. They saw us trying to get out, but still didn't move until we asked.

Poor Man's truck is street side view. When you order your plate, Unko gonna ask you cash or card. I was so embarrassed cause Unko had such a thick accent, I had to ask him to repeat 3 times before I got what he was asking me, sorry Unko! We ordered; Huli huli chicken plate, came with rice and corn - OK FIRST OFF, BE HUNGRY...VERY HUNGRY! Or come with two more people! That's how much chicken you gonna get! Piping hot fresh from pit to plate! Crispy skin and juicy chicken...ONOLICIOUS! I only have one suggestion...it's for Unko to add more of his dry rub seasoning throughout the leg quarters and even under the skin! Non the less...ONOLICIOUS! Perfect portion of rice and corn to chicken ratio! To think we spent $20, and ate off this plate for 2 days...massive portions!
