    Beefs & more beefs!
    Tom W.

    After checking-off all the restaurants on our list, we finally hit the food trucks, up the road, for some of the best lunch plates offered in the Waikiki Walking Distance, which is a real thing, I'm deciding right now. Really, really tasty stuff. Fun staff. And it came with some bible reference on my Styrofoam container, SO NOW I'M SAVED Y'ALL!

    Very very good. Tons of meat...chicken, galbi (beef), and smoked meat (pork), macaroni salad was close to Mac n cheese so very interesting. Tasty, nevertheless. The rice was good with the sauce from the meat. The smoked pork was my fave. The galbi was tasty but hard to chew. The chicken was good but thick. Everything really had delicious flavor. It was a good experience for Hawaii bbq I think.

    Creamy Garlic Shrimp Lilikoi Smoked Meat

    We decided to try this (lol) food truck by our hotel on a whim and it was soooo delicious. Tbh, I wasn't expecting too much since we were in a touristy area. We got the plate of creamy garlic shrimp and lilikoi smoked meat! The creamy garlic sauce was super rich and fragrant! The smoked meat was very tender and juicy, with a hint of sweetness. We also were convinced on getting their island crusher. I believe we got peach mango and they add some li hing mui in it. We too were surprised when it rang up as $12 but the portion was decently large AND might I add super delicious and different than other drinks offered around. Service was super kind and efficient. We would stop by often during our stay and it seems like they sell out of things pretty often, so be sure to not get there too late!! Overall, I am very pleased with our spontaneous decision to eat at Trydis BBQ!

    Short ribs and garlic shrimp  ask for extra sauce
    Pedro Acosta

    Hands down the best food truck I've had in Hawaii! The food was incredible--honestly even better than Giovanni's Shrimp Truck, which says a lot. Every bite was packed with flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Their homemade fruit juice was one of my favorite drinks I've had on the island--so fresh and refreshing. No place in Hawaii beat this food truck for me. If you're visiting, this is a must-stop! I got the short ribs and garlic shrimp -ask for extra sauce of the shrimp ,my next dish was smoked meat and was cooked to perfection

    Just go here for their Creamy Garlic Shrimp!  You will be very happy.

    Just go here for their Creamy Garlic Shrimp! You will be very happy. This food truck is about a half mile away from the bustling Waikiki area but very much worth the walk. The owners are so incredibly kind and sweet. As a preggo lady, I was craving some garlic shrimp and they did NOT disappoint. The portion was generous and the flavor was amazing. There was more rice under the shrimp. It was indeed very creamy and saucy -- just the way I like it. The Mac salad was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the rice and shrimp. There is plenty of seating in the food truck area with a bunch of other trucks serving other foods and drinks. Stop reading the reviews and just go eat here!!!

    Creamy Garlic Shrimp, Lilikoi Smoke Meat, bbq chicken

    What we got: - the three meats deal: llikoi smoked meat, creamy garlic shrimp, and bbq chicken. Wow the portion was huge and this was around $35 ish? From what i remember. The shrimp was so creamy and garlicky and i liked that they kept the head on. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. The smoked meat was also tender (but a little too sweet for my liking.) if i had to pick one id go with the bbq chicken.. or the shrimp (its so hard to pick because both were delicious) ! The mac salad was also unique. The guy was so helpful and nice, and we could tell he cared about his food. He gave good vibes. I definitely felt like i gained 5 pounds after eating this but it was worth it.

    Smoked Meat (Pork) and Chicken

    We had mix reviews on this place but still give it 4 stars. The Kalbi, Smoked Meat and Chicken were excellent. However their shrimp was not the best we've had on the island - and was difficult to peel. The Mac salad was different but still tasty. Slightly overpriced as well.

    We were walking around the area and happened on a group of food trucks. We're always excited to explore local food trucks and as soon as we passed the Trydis truck and saw the menu we knew we wanted to try it. The owner was inside the truck and told us more about the food and made some recommendations. We ended up ordering the lilikoi smoked meat and grabbed one of their drinks as well. The portions were generous and the lilikoi smoked meat came with mac salad and rice. Their mac salad is make with spaghetti instead of elbows so it was different than what I'm used to but seasoned really well. The meat was flavorful and juicy and the fruit juice was refreshing. If you get a chance to try their food I'd highly recommend it.

    creamy garlic shrimp and kalbi mix plate
    Amy L.

    tried this hawaiian bbq truck on our first night in oahu and really enjoyed everything. the service was extremely friendly, she even let us try some samples of the food. most of the kalbi were tender and marinaded nicely and the shrimp was cooked nicely as well. not exactly the best shrimp i've had on the island, but still great!

    Trydis Mix Kalbi and BBQ Chicken
    Mandy M.

    This food truck is exceptional. The portion size is wonderful, the short rib beef is so delicious and the barbecue chicken is not just a side character - it carries its weight in deliciousness even against the beef. The char is perfect and so fresh and tender. These people are precious and I can tell carry a spirit of Excellence. They love the Lord and honor and steward their gifts of hospitality well. May God bless them and multiply their business.

    The service here is very good. I was given a sample of some of the meats they have to decide what I wanted to order. All were good. The food truck is located with a few others and a nice spot in Waikīkī. The Kalbi ribs and chicken were so good. Marinated well and cooked to perfection. Nice and juicy. The Mac salad is different. Has tuna in it; I thought it was a good version of it and ate it all. Definitely a place to check out for Hawaiian food.

Last week it tasted like it had fish sauce in it with spices and garlic, etc...tonight it literally tastes like bbq seasoning mixed with chipotle seasoning and chili onion. I'm not writing this review to bash this shrimp truck because I think they are very nice but more so as constructive criticism...to hopefully keep their recipe consistent. People want the flavor of Garlic shrimp without having to go to the north shore. These other seasonings just didn't cut it for me:(

While we have some great Hawaiian garlic shrimp spots in Arizona, we had to at least try to get some garlic shrimp while on Oahu. We gave this place a try just because we were already in the building. It wasn't a choice we made prior because honestly, I would have suggested trying a more well-known spot like two miles away, haha! We shared a $14 Shrimp with Original Garlic sauce on it and made it a combo with rice, a scoop of potato mac salad, and regular salad, $14 + $6. Sam's Kitchen was okay. I would have loved to have the shell-on but this place does not offer shell-on shrimp. Still, they make a decent garlic shrimp.

It was ~$30 and easily shareable with 2-3 people. Everything tasted great and I loved the smokey flavor and bbq sauce. Beef brisket and short rib were kinda tough and chewy. It came with three sides so I got cole slaw, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. Cole slaw and Mac and cheese were solid; Potato salad was just alright. They also gave one warm bun too. The reason I gave 3 stars was because service was extremely slow. It seemed like they were short staff and had one person at the cash register AND getting the food. He would take a few orders, and then grab the food. When I arrived, he was grabbing food for multiple folks so then I stood there waiting like 15 just to place my order. Then when he restarted and took my order, he took like 5 more orders before grabbing the food so then I waited even longer for another 15 min. That's 30 min of waiting! Also he wasn't serving food in the order that orders were received so it felt actually felt even longer. There needs to be a better system! Surprisingly he did a employee discount on my order. Not sure if it's because it was close to closing time. Btw they charge extra if you order to-go because of the supplies for packaging. I think food is alright but wouldn't return and wait that long for bbq.

It was love at first bite for me with musubi and onigiri, so when I saw a spot dedicated to this deliciousness you better believe I made a point to go there! I ran even faster when StaciLei, Yelp Hawaii's amazing Community Manager, told me it's a must and gave me her list of greatest hits and must not miss items as a guide! Now I've had a lot of these in my life, and I must say, Iyasume are easily the best. See musubi and onigiri have humble origins as a quickly made homespun snack or on the go lunch, and when you spot them in the convenience environment they're often a giant ball of rice with a tinge of protein or seasoning for flavor. At Iyasume, these are culinary adventures, stacked with ingredients, all in handheld form, and the variety they offer is IMPRESSIVE! Of course musubi starts with the classic, SPAM. I had to order the kimchi + spam, shiso + spam, and unagi + tamago + spam, all of which were awesome (even the next day!). Onigiri here are actually layered with ingredients, so you get them in every bite, unlike the convenience store versions! They have a HUGE menu, and I went with spicy mentaiko and salmon, spicy mentaiko and ikura, ikura and salmon, and tuna mayo curry, all of which were great. I LOVE that they make these to order. You can see the line in the back hard at work, and they're very fast. You're sure to encounter a line when you arrive, but don't be scared, it moves quickly. I only had to wait about 5 minutes for mine to come up! Well worth it. Reasonably priced. Very filling. A taste of Hawaii and Japan in one place that'll have everyone smiling!

However, after having to abandon our original dinner plans, we were no less intrigued after randomly stumbling across this place. While they may not have been our first choice for dinner, coming here was far more appealing than eating fast food or at the nearby IHOP! Although seeing so many folks at this mini food truck park may have been what caught our attention, it was the boxes of fried chicken on nearly every table that swayed us to try Waikiki Chicken in Paradise in particular. After skimming the menu, it wasn't hard to see why they were such a popular choice - everything on it sounded great. Granted, that's not overly difficult when there are only eight items to choose from, but tough to argue with the likes of fried chicken loco moco, fried chicken curry rice, fried chicken sandwiches, chicken & croffle, and fish & chips! Since we saw how big the portion were and didn't want anything too heavy (read: sadly, no loco moco or Japanese curry), we opted to split a FRIED CHICKEN RICE PLATE ($16.95) which came with a Fried Chicken Cutlet over White Rice with Mac Salad & Green Salad. Funny enough, despite already having a sense of how much food they give, I was still surprised by the generous portion size. As for how it all tasted, this was great. The breading on the chicken reminded me of Popeye's (though, without the spice), the batter was crispy, and the chicken itself was rather moist. As for the sides, the mac salad was pretty good, but the salad was a little heavy on dressing. If there was one thing I could change about our order, I think I'd want to see how it would taste with a sauce or glaze. At the very least, I'd definitely go with a different dipping sauce, like their Pineapple Ginger, Lilikoi Mayo, or Guava BBQ, as the Honey Mustard we went with tasted a bit generic. Of course, we could've solved both problems if we had gone with the Fried Chicken Loco Moco or Fried Chicken Curry Rice instead! I guess I'll just have to wait until the next time I'm in Waikiki!
