Papa Len's Hawaiian foodtruck

One of the tastiest laulau I've ever had. No joke. The pork was just cooked perfect. Moist and fatty with just enough salt to bring out the flavors. Good meat to luau leaf ratio. The laulau plate has everything. Poi and rice. Squid luau and poi. Chicken long rice super good. Chickeny and gingery. So good. Only complaint I can have is it's not enough to share. You don't want to, cause you want to eat it all. The lady in the truck was so nice. She wasn't afraid to suggest for us to try the other food truck nearby. She was right cause they was good, too. Dats for another review.

Happy May Day!May 1st mean many to other but here in Hawai'i it's Lei Day and on the great lawn at Bishop Museum was an evening of festivities and Papa Len's was one of a few that was there.With offering of a what seems to be a simple menu with three items is the perfect "Hawaiian Plate" with all that we love (Kalua Pig or Laulau, Squid Luau, Chicken Longrice, Lomi Salmon, Poi and Rice) also a "Vegan Plate" option with Vegan Laulau, Coconut Luau, Lomi Tomato, Poi and Rice. I just wanted a simple bite and went with the third item "Poke Bowl"With choices of Shoyu, Spicy or Lime Kohu a single or two choice along with two scoops of rice this simple bowl was quite a handful. I got the single choice of Spicy which also came with a drizzle of unagi sauce and some green onions it was a perfect generous portion and did have a nice kick to it. Rice is nice and hot scooped right beside versus under the poke which made it an easier access to a single bite of either items and not have the sauce all over the rice.Service was a delight and fast and what a lovely night to celebrate under the stars on the great lawn with excellent entertainment filled with song and dance making it an evening to remember,Thank you!

Very ono Hawaiian food! Laulau, rice, chicken long rice, luau squid, lomi lomi salmon, poi! All for $17! Truck was at Kaneohe Elementary School yesterday. We ate the food too fast, we forgot to take photos. You gotta try it!

Limited menu for the Pow Wow Worldwide event at Bishop Museum. I got the laulau Hawaiian plate and friend got the kalua pig plate. The Hawaiian plate was ONOLICIOUS! The squid luau had chunks of tako, was creamy and didn't itch my mouth. The laulau was moist and flavorful: just the right amount of pork and fat. The sides of poi and lomi salmon were equally delicious. Poi not watery, thick and stayed on the spoon. The lomi salmon not too salty and made with fresh tomatoes.

Favorite food spot in kailua!! Just make sure to go early. They open at M-F 9am-12:30pm or sell out. Tucked away on Kapaa quarry road near the kailua industrial area, Papa Lens is a true hidden gem on the Windward side. You can tell this is real homestyle cooking made with love and served in a plate lunch. Everything I've tried is bomb, you seriously can't go wrong. My personal favorite combo is garlic shrimp and beef stew. But the poke is unreal too when in stock. They offer mix and mini plates, good size portions, all at a very reasonable cost (about $10). Check social media for daily menu and updates.

I attended a baby's 1st birthday party for 120 guests. They had catered hawaiian food from Papa Lens. Everything tasted great! I will definetly go and visit their lunchwagon for lunch soon!

So good no words The meat was so nicely cooked you want to know my favorite the fish,dry aku. I tell you ,you guys are going to have a good future with this food truck. When I ate the food it made me happy. I am looking forward to eating here again

So ono Papa Len's.My favorite is the beef stew over rice.YUMM! I can't wait to come back to your food truck and eat more!Next time i'm gonna get spicy garlic shrimp too!Love your favorite daughter Ayvalen Kamalani Lee.

Good meatloaf, too skimpy on the gravy. Gotta remember next time to ask for more gravy. Tripe stew was ok. Didn't care much for the mac salad, too much mayo, it felt like I was eating only mayo and no mac.

ONE WORD. ONO. Papa Lens is affordable. Portions are on point and it's DELICIOUS. Tina is soooo sweet and always makes you smile! The luau stew is OUT OF THIS WORLD. The rice is how rice should be. NOT MUSHY. I'm picky about Mac salad and they got theirs ON POINT. Kalua pig is all meat. I didn't have any fat! just how I like it! If you are in the area, you need to stop by. Comfort food at its best!
