    Yellow truck menu
    Lorrie G.

    Food truck located aside coach waikele outlet. They have 3 trucks. 2 Korean food and 1 Thai food. We tried yellow kitchen. My husband loved the stir fry which he said the sauce was tasty and pineapple something he never expected but loved having that extra UMPH in it. I had there udon with black bean sauce which they have another name for this. (Think.....) anyways. I loved it. I also ordered Kim chi Stew from the other Korean food truck next to it called MOOJIGAE Stew was so tasty and spicy but good spicy. Loved it! I would definitely order again from any of these. I'll try the Thai food next time.

    Yellow Kitchen in Waikele Outlet mall is easy to spot because of its sunshine-y color and cute decorations. The staff are sunshine-y in demeanor to match! The business has outdoor seating available with umbrellas for shade. Trash cans nearby. Parking is free and you can park as closely as you'd like. The staff is super friendly! The food came out quickly but not too quickly where you wonder about the freshness of the food. I ordered the spicy squid (level spicy). It came with perfectly cooked white short grain rice, squid w/ onions and zucchini, some sort of cabbage slaw as well as a few bites of Mac salad and kimchi. The banchan was a bit lackluster for me but the squid was delicious! Spicy, sweet. Not rubbery but with a delightful chew. The plate coat $17.50. This business accepts cards and cash. Overall, I'd come back to try different dishes to support lovely and hardworking locals such as the ones at Yellow Kitchen.

    Kalbi plate.

    No clue why it's not more popular! Food good. (Most important) - Good portions...if you're worried...for a reasonable price. The selection of food is great. It left me filling full without being stuffed or sleepy. (I tend to eat A LOT fyi) The Kalbi I ate was really savory! Not sure if I've had a better Kalbi before?... and the rice really allowed the meat to be more savory. The Owners care! - I was struggling with chopsticks, so the owner actually noticed and gave me a fork!! (Im a disgrace lol). She even offered extra kimchi because she noticed I finished mine pretty quick! Those are things that make me want to come back to a food place. Very kind people! Ambiance. A little bit of flies going around but it's not too much of an issue. There's other food trucks surrounding this one which gives a variety of selection next to a shopping outlet. Overall nice lil grub spot. I'm coming back here once I come back to Hawaii!

    Tried the spicy squid and surprisingly loved it. The flavor of the sauce was sweet and spicy, it was perfect with the rice. I wished they gave a bigger portion for the sides that came with the plate. All in all I will be coming back for more

    Great little food truck located in the outlet mall area along the fence in a shaded area with picnic tables and umbrellas. They have a great looking menu with different plate lunch options. The Stir Fried Chop Steak didn't look like the picture at all, however it was pretty tasty and fed both of us easily. The one plate and bottles of water fed us for under $20.00. Staff was friendly and food was hot and freshly cooked. We would go back in the future and try a different plate.

    Spicy squid and kimchi was sooo good

    One of Korean food truck in Waikele. It's a yellow truck. Two ladies were cooking and taking orders. I ordered spicy squid and Kalbi plate. It was $30 for both. I was watching how they cook.And reminds me my mom was cooking at home and smells so good. I waited like 20min. The portion was not too small not too big. Taste so good especially Mac salad taste like my homemade!! Definitely I come back for Meat Jun. 4stars because they don't have order number so I was confused which order was mine.

    Meat Jun
    Leizelle S.

    Yellow Kitchen food truck is open everyday! Located in Waikele Outlets, on the side of Coach, along side other food trucks. The theme was well thought out. A bright yellow truck with garden decor. Really cute and inviting. There's tables and chairs located on either side of the truck if you choose to eat your meal there. I received fast and excellent service from the friendly ladies who runs it. I ordered a Black Bean Udon and Meat Jun. The meat jun was cooked perfectly. It has taste, but unfortunately not enough. The sides were really good. The Udon was soft and chewy, with pieces of meat and onions mixed in. It was flavorful. I liked that there is a scoop of rice to mix into any remaining sauce from the noodles. If I'm ever shopping on this side. I would come back to try them again!

    Quaint fishpond.
    Dana K.

    It's a quaint food truck. Makes you feel like you're on a field trip. There's a mini fish pond to observe and a mini garden to enjoy as you wait for your order. The meat Jun had a good taste, good portion size, the meat was a bit too thin for my liking. The Kim chi looked spicy, although it wasn't. Thank goodness, as this is the first time I've tried in, even though I've lived here all of my life.

    Black bean udon noodles (jajangmyeon)
    Jo C.

    The service was pretty fast and as soon as I saw the black bean noodles in the menu i knew I had to try it. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed with the jajangmyeon plate here. It lacked the depth of flavor from other places and the few pieces of pork in it was tough. I would come back again and try other dishes next time.

    Kalbi Plate
    Steve T.

    Kalbi plate was ok, not too too sweet like others. Was on the tougher chewier side. I typically like it to be little more soft and tender so can eat everything around the bone. Sides (banchan) were ok, same type of kim chee as next doors kim chee. Would try the spicy squid next go around

Yujin K-BBQ is a cute little takeout spot that is brightly decorated, extremely clean, and has a very welcoming environment. That's always a great sign that even better things are coming. It was so good that we've already visited twice (once on Christmas and again on New Year's Eve), and everything was cooked to perfection. My other half said this was the best spicy pork he has ever had. It's incredibly flavorful and a must-try. I ordered Kalbi on our second visit to satisfy a craving. It was super yummy with just the perfect amount of char. We also absolutely loved the meat jun and fish jun, those will definitely be our go-to orders from now on! The sides change daily, so it's a fun surprise to see what you get. Everything we tried appealed to all our taste buds, not one complain here. You can tell the staff really takes the time to put some love into their cooking. Since everything comes out super fresh, you do have to wait a little bit for your food, but they provide comfortable seats to wait on, and trust me, it is 100% worth the wait. This has officially become our go-to place whenever we are craving Korean food.

Kalbi was tender and had good flavor, Meat Jun, although on the thin side, was also VERY tasty. They don't give the option of choice of sides, rather they give whatever they make for the day, which changes daily. I received a combination of 6 different sides, ama they all tasted fresh and homemade. What was new to me was a potato hash and corn salad, it was ONO! This is going to be my go-to Korean restaurant in Waipahu.

Love that they put the spice level beside each item for a heads up the staff here is nice and as they were more flooded with orders than I realized as they do take phone orders it did take a bit for my order. Since I was dining right there among the bench it didn't need to be separated and loved that it was served on a tray along with a side of kimchee yum the ramyun had a soft cooked egg and some carrots a nice and simple snack which gave me much needed boost though as it was basically no different than a bowl of instant noodle this was crazy overpriced and glad that I didn't get the soft tofu which was $13.50 which I didn't need that type of spice in my life.

    Takeout lunch from Waipahu, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. I was shopping at Waikele Premium Outlets when I realized that I hadn't had lunch yet. I had driven past Y'kele Korean BBQ and thought that I should give them a try... Located across the street from the outlets, the Waikele Center has many restaurants such as Restaurant Kunio, Panda Express, Subway, Chili's, and McDonald's. There's a lot of free shared parking, but it can get crowded at times. The interior is clean, bright, and air-conditioned. There are many tables and chairs for dining in. Service was pleasant and efficient. I ordered and paid at the counter, then took a seat. In no time my meal was ready. I was so hungry that I took a picture quickly and then started eating. There was so much food that I took the rest home. I got the Y'kele special: BBQ chicken, kalbi, and BBQ beef. It came with four sides. I chose tofu, corn, choi sum and seaweed. Everything was delicious! I'd return because it's convenient, tasty, and satisfying!

After picking his sides, my husband went to sit down at a table while I took care of the payment. Unfortunately, they swiped my bank card multiple times saying it's reading error. They asked if I had cash, which I did, and I was able to pay for our food. Something didn't right with me after I paid so I told my husband to check our bank account and make sure multiple payments wasn't withdrawn from our account. Just as I thought, the payments went through and was deducted from my account. I immediately took my husband's phone up to the counter and showed them my account, verifying that the payments were withdrawn. There was also another customer standing at the counter with the same issue. The cashier was really nice about the whole situation and immediate issued a refund to both myself and the other customer. I ordered the Bi Bim Kook Soo and my husband ordered the Kalbi and BBQ chicken combo plate. The Bi Bim Kook Soo was huge and I couldn't even eat half of it. The BBQ beef was a little tough and not as flavorful as the vegetables. The noodles, sauce and vegetables mixed together were really delicious though. It had a nice sesame flavor to it. My husband had the BBQ chicken and Kalbi mixed plate, and thought it was okay. He said it wasn't as flavorful as it was before. If you eat at this restaurant, please make sure you check your credit card or bank card if you're told there was an error with your payment method.
