Top 5 Food Trucks in Hawaii

66528a Kamehameha Hwy, Haleiwa, HI 96712, United States

“Ah, the famed Jenny's Shrimp Truck. Though every plate had the freshest tasting shrimp that's naturally sweet and has that perfect snap to the bite, it's in the seasoning where they fell a bit short. The Original Shrimp plate is rather plain, and tastes like simple boiled shrimp. Comes with cocktail sauce. The Butter Garlic Shrimp is a step up from that, though the plate we got was on the saltier side. Spicy Garlic Shrimp was yet another step up, and I would not mind coming back for the spicy variant (though later experiences would prove even this inferior to the real shrimp champions on the island). That's not to say you won't have a good meal with Jenny's! Don't let our picky palate deter you. Jenny's Shrimp is a good bet for a great meal.”

910 HI-30 #55, Lahaina, HI 96761, United States

“Beer was good, atmosphere is typical of a smaller brewery. Only complaint was that the music was a bit laud and resulted in not a lot of conversation. (We had 12 of us) A bit off the main walking area downtown so consider driving. All and all worth going and bring some food!”

175 Haneoo Rd, Hana, HI 96713, United States

“When you drive the road to Hana you have to resist the temptation to stop at all the many roadside trucks and stands along the way. Be patient and wait for Uncle Russell's Huli Huli Chicken. Hot and juicy, and a substantial portion. We ate at provided picnic tables in a rustic setting as the waves rolled over the dramatic jagged coastline. Felt I got a full $16 worth, best lunch on Maui. A great turn around point for the journey back if you like going back the way you came. For us it was a great refueling point for the continued journey around the south side of Haleakala where the most amazing coastline awaited along with the most difficult and harrowing stretch of road. You came this far on the road to Hana, but you are about to start the really difficult part of the drive. Timed right we came to the easier part of rosd just into the beauty of the setting sun against the south Maui shoreline.⁸”

4100 Rice St, Lihue, HI 96766, United States

“Delicious food. Good service. Even though it may take a little long to get food when they’re busy, they’re working hard in there and they put out a great product. Hope to make it back here sometime soon.”

52-4877 Akoni Pule Hwy, Kapaau, HI 96755, United States

“I had an incredible dining experience at the off-the-grid Hawaii restaurant! The freshness of locally grown ingredients, especially the coconut, added a delightful touch. The chicken bowl with wild mushrooms was a savory masterpiece, and the finale with papaya ice cream was a sweet symphony. A true farm-to-table gem, deserving of five stars for its commitment to organic, local, and delicious cuisine!”

2250 Hana Hwy, Haiku, HI 96708, United States

“Literally the best food we have had during our stay on Maui. Better than MFH, which we can say with confidence as we ate there twice. Every single thing we ate was absolutely phenomenal and we will be going back AT LEAST twice before we leave. The smoked chicken was so crispy on the outside and I didn't have to work to get all the meat off the bone, it just fell right off. The Kalua pork was EXACTLY what you want from pulled pork, teeny bit of heat balanced perfectly by the coconut rice. The brisket melts in your mouth. We are not huge pork belly fans but being a BBQ truck, we had to try it....also phenomenal. The fern salad is indescribable. The coconut rice is sticky like sushi rice and flavored to perfection- not sweet or overly coconutty, balanced all the meats perfectly. The cornbread with guava butter was a perfect way to finish the meal. The green tea is also lovely, I don't like sweet drinks and it was only sweetened just enough to take the bitterness out of the green tea. 100000/10 would recommend, I love food and my husband laughed at me because I almost started crying when we were eating because it was so good. Oh, and lastly! THE PEOPLE!!! So so so so so nice, chill, helpful. Ugh I wish I could take this place and it's people home with us!!!”

2740 E Manoa Rd, Honolulu, HI 96822, United States

“Best Mexican food in Oahu hands down - get their famous flauta or chimichanga. I’m from LA and have traveled many times to Mexico, so I know a bit about Mexican food and can confidently say Serg’s is up there in terms of taste!”

69-201 Waikōloa Beach Dr, Waikoloa Village, HI 96743, United States

“We had a blast! It was pretty busy, so we sat at the bar. We did a rum flight first. The rums were delicious, and the server did a great job telling all about the rum, how it was made, the history, etc. We tried the Mochiko chicken bites, the Kuleana rum-fired shrimp, the house wedge, and chocolate mousse. Everything was absolutely delicious!”

1229 Ke’eaumoku St, Honolulu, HI 96814, United States

“Our family had very mixed reviews. Two loved it and two wouldn't return. The bowl for $14 including a canned drink provided enough food to completely satisfy two adults. I would order extra garlic for the garlic chicken. There was a nice bed of rice that soaked up the sauce from the garlic chicken. The ones who didn't like it found the garlic was lacking. Although, I wanted more garlic I still enjoyed it. It's a tiny window where you order and we easily found meter parking on the road nearby. Place is a bit grungy, so if you want new, fresh, clean, it's not the right place for you. Also, had a constant stream of people picking up orders. Prices are higher than what is shown on other posts. Still great value!”

852 Mapunapuna St, Honolulu, HI 96819, United States

“Love the place—great plate lunch! Got the BBQ ribs and poke (forgot to take a picture of the poke, though)—both were awesome! The mac salad was good, too (they use spaghetti noodles, which I had never seen before. But still good!) The ribs were bomb—fall off the bone, great BBQ sause that had a great taste, but wasn't overpowering. They guy behind the counter is so chill and awesome. Definitely a place to grab some food and go to the beach. Heads up, it's an order and go kind of place, no room for eating there.”

4-356 Kuhio Hwy #121, Kapaʻa, HI 96746, United States

“Come here specifically for malasada. It is only offered tues, Thurs, Saturdays. The popular flavors go fast. We arrived 10:30, popular flavors are gone. I don’t really like matcha, it has some sour taste. The cookies and cream is better, it is just too sweet for me.”

946 Coolidge St, Honolulu, HI 96826, United States

“We are a 2nd time here this week and super great steak again. Awesome fast & really tasty with affordable & reasonable prices. Easy takeout abd outside seating available... very friendly service! We will come again!”

55-730 Kamehameha Hwy Suite 102, Laie, HI 96762, United States

“Ken’s fish is fresh and fantastic. We especially enjoyed the tempura shrimp and wish we would have gotten more of it. The ahi and ono katsu were also very delicious. All orders are to go and the shop is open only a few days a week.”

1 Piikea Ave, Kihei, HI 96753, United States

“First time trying and there was nothing to complain about. The guava buns were a very nice combination with the buffalo chicken sliders. The Davy jones burger was hugeee. And out of a few places this place at least gave you curly fries but no drink. Spent close to 40 bucks for what we got.”

5371 Koloa Rd, Koloa, HI 96756, United States

“Wonderfully creative menu + high quality ingredients + excellent execution = amazingly delicious food. Can't wait to go back for more.”

20 Kamehameha V Hwy, Kaunakakai, HI 96748, United States

“Looks like a Five Guys, burgers served like In-n-Out! Burgers hit the spot and staff super friendly. Got a double cheese burger and onion rings, split with spouse. Perfect for a mid day heavy snack w/o spoiling dinner. Would definitely come here again.”

2335 Kalākaua Ave # 113, Honolulu, HI 96815, United States

“Every time we visit Waikiki, we look forward to having our lunch daily from Pai's deli. The owner and staff are beyond amazing, and their food is always fresh and absolutely delicious for an affordable price. They are gracious with their portions and toppings and always provide fresh pineapple with the sandwich. My favorite is the Turkey/Avocado on a croissant, you will not be disappointed. They also have delicious smoothies and salads. Be prepared to wait because they will have busy times, but the food is definitely worth the wait.”

98-380 Kamehameha Hwy, Aiea, HI 96701, United States

“The food is so good here. Definitely worth a trip. The service is fast and operates like a diner. The parking is in the lot where Dixie grill is located. The seafood tower, fish tacos, steak tacos, oysters and ceviche are 🔥. They make their own crab spread for their tostadas. I don't think I've tried anything here I didn't like. No alcohol is serviced here. But can BYOB.”

2829 Ala Kalanikaumaka St, Koloa, HI 96756, United States

“Ordered the Best, came with pineapple, mochi ice cream, and an amazing assortment of syrups. It never felt overly sweet, had an amazing soft, snow-like texture, and was finished in about 5 minutes it was so good. 100% recommend”

4492 Moana Rd, Waimea, HI 96796, United States

“✨A warm, cozy environment to have a delicious & authentic Hawaiian dinner!✨ My partner and I stopped by after a long day in the area and were warmly greeted by the very friendly staff. We got the BBQ Mixed platter and BBQ chicken dish. The food was fresh, quick and delicious - the best meat we've had on the island. Environment was family friendly, cozy and clean. Would recommend 10/10 to anybody. Thanks for having us - sending aloha your way, from Canada!”
