Wasabi Express by Tiger is a new food truck concept in Honolulu. Thanks to Young's Wine & Spirits hosting rotating food trucks in their parking lot, they advertised this new shop. As of this writing, they're at the parking lot on Piikoi/Kinau on weekdays (4-9pm) and Bellows AF Base on weekends 10am-4pm. If you're looking for a convenient takeout place before jumping on the H1, this is an easy stop. Parking is free and plentiful.
You can see the food on their Instagram. It's mostly a Japanese/American hibachi concept, with NY steak, shrimp, fried rice, and fresh vegetables. The protein options each come served over fried rice with grilled veggies and their signature special sauce. Portion sizes are large for the price. Prices are also reasonable; they're cheaper during the week and a little more on Bellows. All the ingredients were fresh and it was fun to see the food being made.
The owners were also immediately friendly and welcoming. Also as of this writing cash or wireless payments are accepted, but credit cards coming soon. The food is a bit on the greasy side, but if you're looking for something heartier to go with the liquid libations next door, this is a great option. read more
