Little blue truck in the heart of mapunapuna. Food was amazing and service was very helpful knowing it was my first time the steered me to their local favorites. I must said both dishes both hit the spot. Next time I when I come back I have to try their salmon. Unfortunately when I was there it sold out but nonetheless everything was good. Mahalo to lechon king and the crew there. Very friendly with a delicious plate lunches. If in the area try them out I'm most certain you will be happy. That is unless they sell out lols.

I almost wanted to gatekeep this place for myself! But the couple who owns this little food truck was SO SWEET! It was my first time there, as they mentioned that they have only been open for 5 years and have been doing so well. I ordered the Lechon of course and it was the BEST LECHON I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! I also ordered their lumpia, which was piping hot and crispy. This establishment is cash only and they informed me that they usually run out of Lechon by around Noon, so I recommend coming early. We came around 10:15 AM, and there was already a line forming after us.

3/13/25 Best Lechon! Skin crackles Pork drips fat n juice Seasonings; lemon grass garlic chilis salt pepper... Not your typical bubbly skin kind People were buying Whole Belly Rolls (5-7 lbs+) So go early because they always Sell Out!

If you're on the hunt for the best lechon on Oahu, look no further than The Lechon King. This food truck serves up lechon that rivals even the best in Cebu. The skin is shatteringly crispy, almost glass like while the meat is incredibly tender and packed with rich, savory flavors. The use of lemongrass enhances the taste, adding a fragrant depth that sets it apart from the rest. Like any great lechon, it's undeniably greasy and oily, but that's just part of the experience. Since it's a food truck, parking is very limited, and waits can be long if you don't arrive early. But for lechon this good? Totally worth it. Highly recommend if you're craving top tier lechon on Oahu!

Whenever i see that lechon is on the menu somewhere, I always think it will be gamey and it will need sauce. I almost prepped sauce for this meal too - but I decided to taste the lechon first. And boy am I glad I did. Zero gamey flavor. Salted perfectly and seasoned - from what I can tell - with ginger and lemongrass. AMAZING. The plate is no frills - just white rice and lechon for $12. Worth it. We came once before and the lechon was sold out before 11 AM. This time it was a little later and there were only 2 plates left. The owner said once I purchased them he could close up and go home because that was the only thing he had left. That was at 130 PM. There were a few other items on the menu, but sounds like those were sold out too. This place is a food truck right in front of Hardware Hawaii with no parking of its own. If you've been in Māpunapuna ever, you know street parking is hard to come by. So if you're thinking of trying it out, bring a friend who can drive your car around while you stand in line. Because there is almost ALWAYS a line.

On Halloween Day back on Thursday, October 31st was the first time ever to go and buy the plate lunches from The Lechon King. I have heard of them for months but finally only now did i venture out with my driver (since other reviews say how hard to find parking in the area) to try their version of Lechon! I had sent in my text (ph#808-291-9200) the night before 6pm of what I wanted to order as i had heard you can place a phone order in advance. I chose their famous lechon and Mr Mean Hawaii's (best of the 7 places he went looking for the best) local shoyu chicken! I was still on the internet just after midnight as the person from The Lechon King texted me back... since i was still on the internet, we had a 'real-time text messaging' going back and forth as i asked her questions since I told her again, this was my first time to go to their food truck. I asked if there was another line for phone order pick-ups OR do i still have to wait in line because I didn't want to feel like I was 'cutting in line' as the others were waiting patiently in that single line... She told me that since I had placed the phone order to just walk up to the window and tell us you are here for a phone order pick-up and they will get my order! Wow, that was nice to know, especially as she must have been returning other phone or text calls at just past midnight! Well, now comes the day, so my ride and me reach there at 10:20 am and was visually shocked to see NO ONE is standing in line!!! -- at Lechon King! Initial first thought was they were closed, but soon remembered cannot be as she texted me back about my order confirmation for this morning! I kind of freaked out but knew they are open, but no one in line??? So at 10:21am as I get out of the car about 50 yards away, I walk straight up to the side lift up window of the food truck and wait.... Within a FEW moments, there were like about 8 separate groups of people started to come towards me to form a line from God knows where! Geez, I was thanking myself that I chose to come up front and center to be the first in line for today on Halloween!!! Ha, ha! The lady who responded to my text just past midnight so happened to be the same person who took my order there and she said she remembered my order! She was very friendly and thanked me and sincerely said she hopes that we enjoy their foods!!! To tell you what good luck we had on this day, my ride found a parking stall just directly across the street from the food truck---can you believe that? It was like just made to be! My ride dropped me off at my place and when i opened the container, i was met with a packed plate of shoyu chicken and lechon... The shoyu chicken was tasty to me as it had the familiar ginger, shoyu, sugar tastes with flavor that makes local shoyu chicken a local favorite. Though Mr. Mean says theirs were the best of the 7 shoyu chicken plates he has ordered... to me, it just missed on something... it came close... yes, but maybe i liked my sauce just a little more thinner (as theirs were more on the thicker sauce side)... so for ME, i give it 4 stars out of 5 stars for the shoyu chicken entree! Yes I would get it again as a second entree but not as a single entree. As for the star of the plate lunch, man this lechon I have to say is the BEST i have ever tasted! Perhaps it may be due to me having tried for the first time the famous Cebu/Visayan version of Lechon with the lemongrass.. Ohhh, baby... WHAT FLAVOR it provided! You cannot believe how much I 'SAVORED' each bite and wanted it to last in my mouth before I swallowed it! So well-seasoned and flavorful without being anywhere near salty! OMG! You must go here and get their version of the Cebu/Visayan version of Lechon, you may go 'ga-ga' as you swallow your first bite ! Well-seasoned and flavorful!!! The total cost (with the tax included) for the combo was $17 even. As per the signage) which they should place maybe lower as it is at the top/right corner of the window opening indicate they take: CASH, VENMO AND ZELLE. If you are a local or a visitor and wanting to try Lechon and are in this area--- this place is a NO-BRAINER!

Please see previous review! Still a great place with awesome food and service! If you haven't been you need to go!

The Lechon King Lunchwagon reigns Supreme Even though they raised their Plate to $11.50 it's still the Best Deal in Town. I don't know why they haven't raised their prices up till now but it's about time they do it Look at this beauty right here I always ask Aunty for an Extra Scoop of Rice for $1 more because you need as much Rice as you can get to sop up all those juices and herbs that permeate through that Lechon Roll that Uncle Chops Fresh each and every time there's an order. I also get some Shoyu and Vinegar to dip my Lechon in and it gives it a nice balance. I got there at around 11:00 and the line was 10 deep. I thought I didn't have a chance at that Lechon Plate but I was relieved that Aunty Lydia still had a few orders left. If there is one item just as popular as the Lechon it's the Furikake Salmon. That item sells out in 15 to 20 minutes after they open. It's that popular. They can have all the Furikake Salmon they want because I'm here just for the Lechon and nothing else. Lechon so Juicy and that Crispy Skin is like biting into a Potato Chip. That Crunch makes my eyes roll each and every time. There's no slowing down The Lechon King because it's always busy and it's pretty much gonna stay that way because no place makes Lechon like they do. Support Local Business everyone. So nice to see these places flourish. Uncle and Aunty Lydia always have a smile on their face no matter how busy they get. They make a dynamic duo

My friend told me about this blue food truck that has the yummiest lechon. FYI: They opened at 10:30 am and lines starts forming at 10:15ish already. We decided to go get lechon for lunch. Their menu is super small. They only have a few things on there but it's $10 lunch plates. Super affordable. The time we went, they had lechon plate, rib adobo plate, and the salmon plate. Of course, I went with the lechon plate, that's what we came there for. Brought our food home and made lettuce wraps with the lechon and vermicelli noodles, dipped with my moms special fish sauce. So good! The lechon was well seasoned with lemongrass, garlic, and bunch of herbs n spices. The skin is cooked to perfection, super cripsy. You can hear the crunch when you bite into it. Ahh, too bad I was so hungry and forgot to take a picture of my plate. Take my words for it, if you are craving for a cheap lunch plate of lechon, come see them. The aunties working in the blue food trucks is super nice.

Finally tried the food truck and it was an easy 5/5 stars. Friendly service, quality food, and fantastic prices. My first experience was actually ordering a lechon roll for a party. It was so good, skin crunchy, meat soft and flavorful that I knew going to the food truck one day would be an easy craving satisfied. Finally tried the food truck and just as I expected, my cravings were satisfied. The lechon just as good as I remembered, even better straight from the food truck. $10 a plate, $15 for 2 choice? You can't get better than that! Definitely recommend. I went at lunch time around 11 and there was only 1 person in front of me. Parking is little difficult so I recommend having someone drop you off and wait in the car. It's a very busy area, and as of this post, there was road work going on...which means detours.
