Spicy Squid with noodles
Shannon K.

This truck should be more popular by far! Great prices and the ladies are always so nice. I love that the spicy squid you have the option of rice or noodles. I chose noodles and it is the perfect chewy noodle I wanted with my squid. There is some outdoor seating available on both sides of the truck. There is parking right in front of the truck too so it is perfect to stop by on the way home or while shopping.

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
Junko W.

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.

I chose the simple Shinramyun ya not the brightest choice on this humid day but didn't want something too heavy as it just need a bit of fuel to get me going and this spot was definitely on my list. 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. Thank you!

The prices have gone up (where hasn't), since the last time, but the quality of the lechon is still as great as it always has been. I ordered their Lechon fried rice plate, which comes with a fairly large portion of both. The pork is juicy, with the signature crispy skin... so delicious. The service was fast and helpful, pointing out that have several sauces that you can take in little cups. The Fried rice was a bit bland, especially when compared to the taste of the pork, but putting the lechon sauce over it, definitely improved the flavor. The slightly sweet, with vinegar tang, would make a piece of cardboard edible, lol. I'm so happy to have stopped by, and it definitely will be sooner, rather than later, for my next visit.

Ate it with the mang tomas sauce that was provided. The addition of spam pieces was to incorporate the main attraction. The fried rice unfortunately didn't have much flavor. I ended up eating it with vinegar to jazz it up. Bbq pork stick was really good on its own. The vinegar that was provided added even more flavor. It was actually my favorite out of everything; had a good char. Pork lumpia was two long pieces that was equivalent to like 6 regular size pieces. My kids enjoyed it. The turon had a good crunchy exterior, the banana seemed a bit on the dry side. Glad to see many people trying Dick's Lechon n' supporting local!

I messaged him instead with Yelp but you also text the number in this listing.

While I picked up both I've only tried the spicy so far. The smoked meat comes in a vacuum sealed bag so I just put the regular one in the freezer. This smoked meat is fairly lean which concerned me at first but my concerns were not warranted. The meat has a strong great flavor but the spice level is pretty low. In a way I was happy with that because I didn't want to be have the spice overpower the flavor of good smoked meat. As long as you aren't looking for burn your mouth spicy this is excellent smoked meat at a reasonable price.
