Okina Cafe

Located in the same tiny lot as Gionavvi's shrimp truck (parking costs $2), Okina serves fresh grille, sandwich, and plate lunch food with the bbq grille fired up right in front of the truck.Got the garlic butter ribeye plate lunch and it was good. There's a wait for them to freshly grille your steak but the flavor is solid with garlic and not too much grease. Reasonable priced for the area but tasty enough that I wished it came with more!

Truly my worst food experience on Oahu. I ordered the garlic butter ribeye plate and a "fresh squeezed" pineapple lemonade. It didn't bother me that it took 15 minutes for only my lemonade to be ready. It didn't bother me that I saw 5 groups of people order and receive their full orders while I waited within earshot for another 15 minutes. It didn't bother me that the cook turned his back to me when I came over to the window to check on my order or that the cashier very obviously finally remembered I'd ordered food and put the steak on the grill. What did bother me was how flavorless the whole meal was. The rice was gummy and dry and the steak was not seasoned at all. There was no butter whatsoever, there were pieces of dried minced garlic but still no garlic flavor. It was almost incredible how they managed to keep the steak devoid of flavor. The general horrible attitude of the two workers I interacted with made the whole scenario seem intentional but there's no way to know for sure.

Just witnessed the chef( white dude with small ponytail) on the propane grill outside the truck eat his lunch/snack in plain sight and LICK all 5 of his fingers after a bite. 1 min later started someone's order. Did not go to wash his hands or anything. It's already bad enough these food trucks in the area are all ran down, most no public bathroom etc. There's nothing wrong with that just please be as clean as possible.

You know a place is good when theres a long line outside when its pouring out. My friends and I stopped by for some snacks after eating at some of the other trucks. We ordered the garlic butter steak platter, a hot dog, and Kalua pork. The steak platter was so good we went back and ordered another one. Perfectly cooked at medium rare and packed with plenty of garlic. The pork was slowly cooked just right. The Hawaiian sea salt and smokiness added plenty of flavor. You get a nice side salad and rice with furikake. Prices are reasonable, but do expect a little wait here. Its best to order here and walk around to some of the other trucks to sample their food or grab a table.

As soon as I saw this food truck offered bubble tea I knew I had to try some! They offer both milk tea and plain in various flavors (White, green, matcha, pineapple are ones I remember). The only mix in right now is boba which is an extra $.50. I asked the cashier what her favorite tea was, she replied the moon tea which is a white tea. I couldn't decide so I got her recommendation, adding boba.The tea was very refreshing and the boba plentiful. I appreciated that it comes unsweetened unless you request it to be more sugary. For me the tea was good enough on its own that it didn't need any additional sweeteners.

Plantation Tea and cold brew were great!!!!So good!!!! You just need to try it!!!!!I bet you'll love it!!!! Yay!!!!

If you're from California, you've probably had better milk tea. Moon milk tea with medium sweetness (about 50% sweet) was super watery and didn't taste like tea. The milk or creamer was the only thing I could taste.Beware of all the flies and chickens ... not a good place to chill and hang out. It's located next to the Giovanni's shrimp truck.

Fresh and flat outstanding! Wife had the barbecue chicken I had the steak and Ahi fish tacos! Totally the best

This place is delicious. Probably the best chicken on the island is served here. The employees are very friendly and cooked food fresh and fast. Definitely recommend to people who crave delicious food while visiting the north shore.

Got a sunset sandwich, and there was like no cheese and two slices of turkey and there wasn't even any tomatoes. Tasted like bread and pesto. Majority of my plate was potato chips. smoothie was already separated by the time I got it. The whole meal was underwhelming. The workers are nice but the food could use be better especially if people are coming to support your small business as a food truck.
