Triple RTs Catering & Lunchwagon

I ate here last week about 2:30 pm after school was out because I've seen lots of kids hanging out at the Rec center. I bought the fried chicken plate and was thinking that the color was a little peculiar looking. Not the golden fries look on fresh chicken. It was dull brownish colored. I ate it. All 6 or so pieces with the rice. No weird smell or taste. About 2-3 hours later it hit like a max truck. Vomit and upset stomach! I didn't eat anything else during this time, so it was definitely the chicken. I have to guess that they re-fry the chicken through the day and/ or use chicken that is not good to use. Spoiled. It was dry and like I said, not golden crisp color and texture. Definitely was crunchy and dry. I ate here in the past, early morning before 11 and the chicken was just cooked and had the golden fried color and it was good. I suppose I should buy when they first open if I want the freshly cooked batch?

Where else can you get about a dozen pieces of fried chicken for just $12???? TripleRT Food Truck... they have a truck at Waipahu District Park and another truck at Hoopili - during the week. Not available on weekends - they're busy doing catering. By the time I went at 2:30pm, pancit already sold out. Got my filling of Garlic Fried Chicken (gotta get the garlic sauce). Awesome portion for an order of just chicken.

Find them in a yellow food truck parked outside of Waipahu district park. Simple menu. Generous portions. Kind tata manning the entire operation! We were given the options of rice, pancit, fried chicken and garlic chicken. Went with pancit, and 1/2 fried 1/2 garlic chicken. Pancit was a mix of canton and bihon noodles. Tasty! If I had to choose a chicken, I'd go garlic chicken but an extra side of garlic sauce. Plate was $10 even. Cash only. Will be back again!

We've been to parties catered by them and loved their food. Decided to have them for my son's birthday party and every dish was just amazing. Lots of compliments from our guests about the food and asking who catered. The Lechon kawali was super amazing as well as the salmon, cooked to perfection. They also have an attendant who manages the food and was very friendly and helpful for us throughout the party. Also very reasonable prices. Recommend for your next party!

The chicken is super dry and no flavor whatsoever. The old man is smoking a cigarette in the food truck. So unsanitary. Bad service. Don't waste your money buying your food at this food truck.

Me and my wife go here every time we get chicken cravings! Uncles Chicken is the BOMB! If it's your first time, try the Garlic Chicken! Crispy, flavorful, and juicy chicken. The price is fair and is much cheaper than your fast food chicken chain restaurants. As for the service, Uncle is always kind, when we sees both me and my wife, he always adds a little extra to our plate, which is awesome. Triple RTs Lunch wagon is sometimes parked by the Waipahu District Park @ Paiwa St, south of Jimmys.

Finally made to this Food Truck in Waipahu called Triple RT's located at the Waipahu Regional Park from Monday thru Friday as I wa so excited because I really love my Fried Chicken and after seeing all these glowing reviews I definitely had to come here and see what the hype was all about. I had originally ordered the Fried Chicken and Pinakbet Mixed Plate but Uncle gave me the Pancit instead of the Pinakbet and I was kind of bummed because I love my Pinakbet especially with Fried Chicken. Anyway after getting my plate and opening up my plate, things looked very promising until further inspection looking at the Fried Chicken, they all looked like they were Refried and overcooked. And after taking one bite of my First Piece of Fried Chicken, my thoughts and initial senses came to fruition as the Fried Chicken was no where near moist nor juicy. It also lacked any type of flavor as well. Not even a faint taste of salt or pepper at all. It was bland, very bland and when the Chicken was overcooked like these pieces that I got, I had a real hard time swallowing it. Out of the 5 or 6 pieces of Fried Chicken I got, just one of the pieces of Fried Chicken was even formidable to even swallow. Also the pieces were in all different sizes. They weren't all the same size as some were really small in size. As for the Pancit that also was disappointing as it lacked any type of flavor and all and once again very bland. Luckily I found some Soy Sauce Packets in my Glove Compartment to give my Pancit some flavor that it sorely needed. Despite this very disappointing meal, the Uncle working at the Food Truck was really nice and genuine and I really want to try this place once again but I'm so gun shy because once I get disappointed about a certain place I don't want to experience what I went through the first time.Perhaps it was just a stroke of Bad Luck that I was dealt a really bad batch of Fried Chicken and I think I knew I was in trouble when the Plate that I ordered wasn't exactly what I initially asked for. I really wanted to like this place but I think it may be awhile before I make my trip back to Waipahu to satisfy my Fried Chicken Cravings. Especially here at Triple RT's

Good fried chicken Wanted to try more Filipino dishes but overall crispy chicken and generous portion for price

Well, it's been a little over two months since I was last here in early July. so I decided to eat here again as it is close by to where I live.It's a Wed (9/22) morning just a few minutes after 11am and I see he has no customers at the moment. He likes to park his lunchwagon street side just after the entry into the Waipahu District Park parking lot. I walk up to the lunchwagon and see no one near the order/receive window so I walk a little to my right to see if he is sitting in the front passenger seat awaiting customer --- and yes, he's there reading the newspaper.As walk back to the order window, the first thing out of my mouth was to say I "wanted half pork guisantes and ..." when he stopped me and said he only had fried chicken, pinakbet, noodles and rice... Took me just a moment to comprehend because 'that's all he had for entrees' ? The past few times I knew he only had three entres (as he liked to say he serves what his customers like): fried chicken, fried chicken with garlic sauce on the side, and pork guisantes. So I said, ahh.. ok, i want half fried chicken, half pinakbet with half pancit and half (white) rice for the starch. Anyone familiar with pinakbet, the main vegetables in the dish are normally eggplant and bitter melon slices (sometimes they had chicharron, or sometimes they had small bits of roast pork (Chinese style). While he was assembling the plate, I was telling myself how much I would have to remove bittermelon (goya) pieces from that dish as I don't like the strong bitter taste. Gee, I guess I came at the right time, as now a line of customers began to form right behind me... he wasn't his talkative self, but still nice (maybe he had a cold or something and didn't walk to speak much.. dunno, didn't sound like he had a cold though...).As he had a hard time closing the lid before putting it into the plastic bag, i wondered why he was rushing. I gave him my $10 and there was no exchange of words by him or me (hmm ... unusual). As I walk away from the truck to my car, I was trying to secure the lid on the styrofoam container and now found out why he couldn't close it well, it was just too much food inside that the lid couldn't close properly ! As I got home and opened the container, I saw the unusually reddish pinkabet portion of the meal ... hmm, never saw reddish 'sauce' before any anyone's cooking ... maybe he was trying to 'localize' its taste? Ok, so I start looking for the hated bittermelon pieces with my fork, but couldn't find ANY ! Now it's a 'what?' Unusual ! there were eggplant, long beans, wing beans, and okra with some onions in a tomato based sauce ... Let me taste ... ummm, tasted good, and tasted like there was the hint of bittermelon in the dish (wonder if had placed them perhaps in a straining/cheesecloth or packet so he can allow the flavor of the bittermelon to blend in, without having the bittermelon pieces actually be in the dish for consumption? Whatever ... I was liking his rich flavored pinakbet .. too bad there wasn't any roast pork, or at least the crispy skin of the roast pork in that dish.Fried chicken (his version is all right for my tastes ... though I have seen reviews that say his version is bomb ! Not to me though ... Like I mentioned before, these (very small) chicken thighs look exactly like what are sold at the supermarkets in the 5 lb boxes by various chicken companies.. He was generous with the pancit canton and you can buy his pancit on the side like I did the last time. This meal with the two entrees just complimented each other with flavors galore, and I wouldn't mind eating this combo again....maybe he should just add this to his other three entrees (fried chicken, garlic chicken, pork guisantes) permanently. The last time I was here in early July, I ordered the fried chicken and garlic chicken combination, and only gave it three stars.., but this one works better! Most likely you will love this mixed combination @ $10 exactly for this meal. Cash only (like so many other lunchwagons operate) !

If you are incapable of parking your van, then don't drive it. Also, if you're in a stall for pick up orders, maybe don't walk in to the store. Overall, just put a little bit of effort into being a 1/2 decent human.
