" Had a lovely experience here. Yes, it’s a food truck, but they make you feel like you’re at a restaurant. I got the shoyu chicken and it brought back memories of my time in Hawaii. The atmosphere is friendly and homey, though the seating is limited. Perfect for takeout and enjoying by the park nearby! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the special of the day which was BBQ short ribs. They were juicy and flavorful! A truly delightful meal that filled me up. The staff was very friendly and attentive, making sure we were happy with our food. I love the concept of a food truck combined with authentic Hawaiian dishes—definitely coming back to try the poke next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at Hawai’i Nei Cafè! I absolutely loved the teriyaki musubi, it was packed with flavor. The owner was incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. The only downside is that the truck can be a bit tough to locate in the area, but once you find it, you won't regret it. Wonderful Hawaiian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon Hawai’i Nei while searching for Hawaiian food. What a delightful surprise! The staff was so welcoming and made me feel right at home. I ordered the kalua pork and it was smoked perfectly. Would love to try their catering service next! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! The owners are so warm and welcoming, and the food is just as good. It's the best spot for authentic Hawaiian cuisine! The portion sizes are very generous, almost too much to finish in one sitting. I can’t wait to come back and try even more. Highly recommend the musubi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Hawai’i Nei Cafè last week, and I was blown away by the authentic flavors! The Kalua pork was cooked perfectly, and the portion sizes were generous. I loved the spam musubi too! The owner was super friendly and made sure we were satisfied. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Hawai’i Nei Cafè last month with friends. This place isn't just good; it's fantastic! The BBQ Shoyu Chicken had a unique flavor that reminded me of my trip to Hawaii. The macaroni salad was spot-on as well—sweet and creamy! The owners are super nice and treat you like family. I left so satisfied and will definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)
