Mike's Huli Chicken


Mike and his legendary yellow food truck have moved up the coast to Kahuku. You can't miss the vehicle, emblazoned with the words 'Winna Winna Chicken Dinna.' Mike's has risen above others thanks to his rotisserie (huli is Hawaiian for 'turn') chicken, prepared with its own house-made hot sauce. Other options include Hawaiian menu stalwart kalua pork.
