Hawaii is home to countless incredible restaurants, but we have to argue that the best eateries are often found outside of the tourist meccas, off the beaten path. For the best Hawaiian homestyle cooking on Oahu, head to Mike’s Kiawe Broiled Huli Huli Chicken, a storied yellow food truck serving up broiled chicken and fruit smoothies with a tropical island flair.

Located on Oahu’s windward coast just north of Kaneohe near Paradise Bay Resort and the Hamama Falls Trailhead, Mike’s is certainly off the beaten path… but trust us, you won’t find more mouthwatering chicken anywhere else in Hawaii.

Naturally flavored with Hawaiian sea salt and broiled over Kiawe wood in an outdoor rotisserie to give the chicken a smoked flavor, the chicken served from this roadside eatery will make your taste buds explode.

Try your chicken with their signature spicy sweet and sour sauce for a taste of Asia.
