Go to the Tropic Heat to get a taste of the islands. I had their Kalua Pork and rice and it was delicious! I like the sauce and green onions to put on top of the pork and rice . Thanks for great service .

If I could give a higher rating, you bet I would give you a 10000000000000/5 stars any day. From the AMAZING and warm smiles when you first pull up, to the easy to read menu all the way down to the very best Hawaiian food in all of WA state. Day 1 supporter and will forever be thankful as a business owner myself for a tasty, great priced meal on the go! Stop by and say hello to these fine folks and make sure you try their Katsu chicken! They have not been open long, but they have made a HUGE impact in our community. Thank you for all you folks do, each and every one of you.

Ok friends after all said and done this was over $16. 4 chicken strips and a small handful of crinkle cut fries. I’m sorry but we will not be returning. This is most definitely not worth that price. These are not homemade or high quality fries. Heck the chicken strips are likely to be frozen. I would have dealt if there was a sufficient amount of fries to make up for it but nope. Don’t waste your time folks just drive the extra bit to the food court place.

Phenomenal is an understatement! Every single bite was Bursting with Flavor! They definitely did NOT disappoint! So authentic! We had two big Kahuna’s, and ordered all the meats. Can’t decided between a favorite! I’m not a big red meat eater, but I could not stop eating their pork and beef.They were delicious! Their chicken Katsu is out of this world! Their shoyou Chicken is second to none! So glad I found this little place! We will definitely be back!

Hawaii born and raised here. So exited to see a Hawaiian foods plate lunch truck here. Having to drive to Spokane or Seattle to get my Hawaiian plate lunch fix is to say the least an inconvenience. But when you’re missing home food what can one do? I ordered the regular Shoyu Chicken, keiki (child) kalua pork plate and the Big Kahuna Chicken Katsu plate. If you’re looking for the true Hawaiian/Japanese katsu this is not it. By a long shot. Katsu breading is light and crisp, this was heavily breaded and not tasty and it was ‘severely’ over fried. Katsu is delicate to the taste buds. Lightly crispy and chews easily. They drizzled the “Katsu” sauce over it which is never done in Hawaii, instead it’s on the side for dipping. They give a dipping sauce but it doesn’t go nor compliment any of the foods served. I’m not really sure why it’s included. Katsu sauce yes. Should be included or offered. Pass on the Katsu when you can have fried chicken practically anywhere. Kalua pork was good, not authentic, but good enough and the rice is good, sticky rice but not too much. The rice I got was older as it had hard dry rice in every so many bites. Kalua pork should be served with raw thick slices of onion or at least offered. Kalua pork and pork or chicken laulau is always accompanied with raw onion. But over all kalua pork was very satisfying. The winner here is the shoyu chicken. As we say in Hawaii, “broke da mout” “ono”licious. “Dats da one”, meaning BEST of all in that meal. It’s is so tasty and perfectly cooked. We sliced up an onion and our taste buds were completely home with the shoyu and kalua w/the raw onion and sticky rice and Mac salad. So ono. Even though the mac salad was not traditional taste it was still a good recipe and went very well with the meal. We love our mac salad. They also offer spam musubi but we don’t eat spam anymore so passed on it. Was interested to taste it tho because it’s the marinade that makes musubi so delicious. Teri chicken can also be made into musubi. Owner did say that eventually they’ll add laulau. This I cannot hardly wait for as it is the ultimate missed food for us. Pork or chicken, with a slice of salmon steamed in ti leaves woowhee it’s so so awesome. Pair it w/chicken long rice, haupia, lomilomi hopefully a few pieces of pipikaula and hot rice and raw onion let me tell ya, you’ll feel like a glutton but well worth the guilt. Overall I like this place. Was so disappointed in the katsu but they well made up for with the other items. So happy to finally have a place to get some good kalua and shoyu with a nice tasty mac salad and ‘sticky’ rice. In Hawaii we don’t eat dry, flaky rice that falls off the fork when you try to get it to your mouth. The owners did good at understanding that. I do hope eventually they’ll offer Teri burgers. Please go give them a try. Lots of parking too. The person who took my order super friendly. This place is a winner. Will still drive into Seattle for manapua and dishes that can’t be found even in Spokane. Kauai Family Restaurant is my choice if you’re ever near their area of Georgetown. They also have a bakery connected that makes Hawaii desserts. Hawaiian food is so comforting. Mahalo nui loa The Local Bite for offering Hawaii local foods.

Unfortunately this place was pretty mid. I expected good Hawaiian food, but it was overpriced and extremely basic. Spam musubis weren’t made well – they use cheap white rice instead of actual calrose sushi rice, therefore they fall apart right in your hands. NO Loco Moco on the menu (what?!) and they had a bunch of random menu items like chicken strips and wraps. I’m sorry but I don’t see anything Hawaiian about those. I would not go here again just based on the fact that nothing about this food truck makes me want to come back, it was boring and not very Hawaiian-themed.

The Hawaiian food was OK. Just not the taste I’m used to. You know that feeling when you eat somewhere and need to go back? (Think fresh out the box or fat cat) This wasn’t that place for me. I won’t be back and that tells me all I need to know. Service was great, though. Clean place, nice people.

Friendly fast service, delicious food and menu options for our picky toddlers are the main things our family looks for when going out to eat and we got all three. The food was so tasty and we left with plenty to take home for later! Thank you, we will be back again soon!

Very friendly service and tasty food. It sounds like they are adding to their menu as well and they have kid-friendly options – definitely worth stopping by for a bite!
