? Bring cash or get it from the most unofficial looking ATM on Earth in the nearby convenience store, because cards are no good here. The food is phenomenal. $35 for lau lau, pastele, lomi lomi salmon, and kalua pork over rice, with a side of spicy ahi poke. I gave him $40 because he was cool and I was hungry, so he gave me a bottle of water and half of a pineapple. This (hola hola) stop turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip
Like other tourist we were also taken advantage of at this food truck. My boyfriend pulled over because he never heard of Lau lau and wanted to try it. I was looking at the other food trucks while the guy was serving him. When I returned the guy had piled on top of the lau lau another fish that was wrapped in tin foil (don’t know what it was) and poke, than announced the meal was $25. My boyfriend said the lau lau was good but the rest was terrible; the poke varied between frozen cold to luke warm (we only had a couple pieces in fear of getting food poisoning); I had a bite of everything and that was enough for me. We ended up throwing out most of the meal and wasting our money.I can’t understand why he feels the need to rip anyone off considering he has no idea what someone can afford. Regardless if someone was able to afford a ticket to come to Hawaii they may only have so much money to spend while here and forcing them to paid made up prices because they look like a tourist is ridiculous.
Amazing food! Best lau lau! Wish he was open more because I would of gone every day on our trip! Wish prices were posted! As it seems kinda high that we paid $35 for 1 plate when down the road at the poi factory we paid that for triple the food. Lived supporting the local though!
The lau lau were the beat I’ve had on Oahu, and the poke was very good. Owner is super friendly. He very obviously just makes up whatever price he thinks you’ll pay but… honestly doesn’t bother me. Hard working service industry folks deserve more anyway.
This is my favorite place. The owner is top shape! Every time i drive down that side i gotta stop and buy laulau plates for later. Sometimes he get pastele stew too! Been going there forever and i hope he’s gonna be around long time more.
Food was cold and overpriced. Discriminates his prices!
Ahi was super duper overcooked and dry. Every bite of pineapple either had peel or core. Not good. The guy was nice though
Yummy food
Best Lau Lau and poke. Always fresh. Awesome squid luau
Ate laulau, pastels, raw fish, and kalolo. Everything was good. The uncle was nice. Prices are up there. I don't think he has set prices. If your looking for someplace that follows food safty procedures, dont go here. Hes messy.
