Pacific Flame Island Grill

This place came up when i opened yelp.It look appealing, so ai gave it a shot.In a word, "AMAZING"! I could see the torches laminating in the dark as I drove down the long stretch of driveway leading to the food truck. "I really need to go back to Hawai'i", I tell myself."I really need to move to Hawai'i", I tell my wife.We made our way back home and opened the containers of food on our dining table.After a few bites I was amazed. Very tastey. Very fresh. Very authentic.I highly recommend this place. Its very hard to find good in Austin. Everyone knows this.This is going to be one of my top goto places.

This place has such delicious, well made food. They give great service, and you can either order food to take out or eat outside at the little turf lawn right there. The salmon is rich yet refreshing, the macaroni salad is very flavorful, the rice perfectly cooked, I'm definitely going to be eating here regularly. I enjoyed eating outside today as there was a beautiful blue dragonfly flying around, not getting in the food or anything, just hanging out. Best of all, the plates each are served with a Hawaiian sweet roll, the food of the gods (my church growing up used Hawaiian bread as communion bread).

Happened across this little gem while getting my truck serviced at the adjacent auto shop. It's definitely an interesting choice for location. You have to know it's there to find it, but when you do you're happy you did. The food is fantastic and the owner's quite charming & very hospitable. I really wanted to explore the menu, so I ordered several items to bring home to my wife and son for dinner. I got the Teri Beef, Soyu Chicken, Chicken Teriyaki, Teri Salmon and Dad's Spam & Cabbage. My least favorite item was the Teri Beef. The marinade is fantastic, but the steak is pretty chewy. While I didn't absolutely love it, I did enjoy the Spam and Cabbage. Next up the list was the Teri Salmon, really, really good. The stand out, as in grand slam home run, were both chicken dishes. The chicken has that delicious backyard Weber grill flavor and the sauces are incredible. They all came with rice and Hawaiian Mac salad. The rice was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of stickiness. The Mac salad was right on point as well. So much better than the grocery store deli counter variety which can be tasty but for some reason all seem to have that weird hint of bitterness. I didn't get any pictures, but what I was served looked exactly like the food pictured on their website. I obviously ordered way too much for dinner for three so we had leftovers. Everything was nearly just as enjoyable to snack on straight out of the fridge for the next few days as it was served fresh. Despite its unusual location, the dining area for this food truck is inviting. When the weather is nice as was during my visit, it's comfortable and the pacific vibe is enhanced by the island music coming through the speakers. The only thing that could've made it better would've been a nice Mai Tai! I'd love to see this place grow into a full restaurant. A week later I'm writing this review on a plane to Maui for vacation. If this trip hadn't been on the horizon I would've been back for a second or third round by now. I've been craving hard for that Chicken Soyu and Teriyaki Chicken. We dine out extremely often and Pacific Flame will now definitely be in our rotation. After many trips to Hawaii, I've really grown to love Spam&Eggs&Rice so I can't wait to also try the Mama's Spam Brunch. Mahalo PFIG and Aloha!

Placed an order online for pick up. Got a plate with rice 2 meats and 1 veggie. Got the shoyu chicken and the beef teriyaki. The beef was dry and didn't have much flavor to them. The chicken was a little bit much but still slightly dry. The Mac salad was good. The zucchini had tons of flavor but a bit salty due to the seasoning on it. Adobe Salmon - also slight dry and had decent flavor to it. Sadly our piece still had a bone in it. Grilled pineapple - fresh and sweet with a nice grill flavor to it. The area had one table at it, not sure if you can use the table on the other food truck spot or not. Tons of parking in the area and close to other food trucks as well. Not a lot of shade in this area so be prepared to be sitting outside or plan ahead and bring it home to eat. Food was ready at the correct time and pick up was simple.

Drool worthy Hawaiian food up in Leander. We tried out Pacific Flame for some of our ono Friday night eats and for our first visit, decided to go all out to get the best of a variety of what this food truck has to offer! We typically stop by Shoyu sugar as it's 10 minutes from our house up north, so this wasn't too terrible of a drive for us to make out to the food trailers in Leander. Plenty of street parking and a family nomming dinner out in the tables for dining out, we placed our order online for the taste of the islands family sized menu which has a 45 minute prep time so order accordingly. We split this with 4 people and still had left overs to indulge with the next day and can't wait to return!My favorite was the mango and the salmon skewers, and the grilled avocado was also a hit for us in this house! Now I get to eat it all over again, and I'm excited for round 2!

So finding a really good Hawaiian restaurant in the Austin area is pretty impossible. I would like to think that I have a pretty good grasp on what good Hawaiian food is because I have gone multiple times to Hawaii with my mom, who grew up there. So when I saw this gem in our local paper, I had to know if this place was legit. Let me tell you, this place did not disappoint. The shoyu chicken skewer was fantastic. The chicken was not dried out and had a great flavor. The grilled pineapple had a nice flavor to it as well. I also got the garlic butter shrimp skewer, and it tasted great. Their mac salad is exactly how it is made in Hawaii, which is hard to find around here. The staff is super friendly and are very welcoming when you walk up to the window. The owner is from Maui, so she knows genuine Hawaiian grinds. This place may not be fancy, but it is genuine Hawaiian local fare,even up to the food truck. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed.

Really good food, awesome grill flavor. Loco moco was tasty with a good gravy. Teri steak was flavorful too. Only complaint is the portion vs price.

I was skeptical when I was asked to try this food truck, but mother of cats....I did not regret it! I had the adobo salmon (really good with their side sauce), shoyu chicken, garlic butter shrimp, grilled zucchini and grilled pineapple (don't judge the amount yet...safe that for later). Everything was awesome! So awesome in fact, we drove back after finishing our meal and ordered more that same night (please add judgement here). The staff is so friendly and the owner is right there cooking her recipes from Maui herself. Can't wait to try their brunch on Saturdays!!!Update: Just tried the teriyaki beef and it was just as good as everything else!! Doing breakfast tomorrow!!

I ordered the following items:- Chicken shoyu with salmon adobo as an add on- Mean Moco XXL (Loco moco with Kalua pork and spams)Unfortunately, they did not have any flavor. Growing up in west coast, I had the opportunity to eat lots of amazing Hawaiian food, so needless to say, I've been craving good Hawaiian food since moving to Austin. Unfortunately, unlike the other Hawaiian place in Austin, the food wasn't salty. However, it simply did not have enough flavor at all. Everything tasted super bland. The sauce of loco moco didn't have the nice beef stock flavor, and chicken shoyu didn't even have the nice charred flavor to it. I couldn't really taste the soy sauce either.

Had the Shrimp Plate with grilled pineapple. What a treat! Great food, cooked well. Reminded me of the little hole in the wall places in Hawaii. Recommended!
