I have been eating their food for a year now, on Wednesdays, at Kapilina Beach Homes. The chicken and pork taste really good — but the quality of the meat is horribly poor. Lots of fat and gristle. Hasn’t always been like this — just seems to be going downhill each week. Mo more for our family — we will purchase from another truck.

You want some simple, Teriyaki-glazed pork and chicken that’s moist as can be, along with major«papa’a»(tasty burnt edges) action? Then look no further than Buk Buk Kitchen! MASARAP-SARAP!!!

4:57 pm 4:58 pm 4:59 pm 5:00 pm It’s been a long day at work. Does it end for a parent? No! Help with homework. Bathe the kids. Break up fights. Do some chores. Cut down tattling. On top of that I still have to cook dinner. This stand is my huge help to get through the week. A break, a relief, a breather when I feel like I’m drowning in everyday responsibilities. It’s also an encouragement to keep going because of the workers whom are sisters, husband and wife, mother and daughter, grandchildren all working hard together. Giving great service with a smile on their face and making it through the everyday daily grind together. Type of Food: Buk Buk kitchen serves different Filipino dishes that my mom enjoys but I always come for the tasty, tender, marinated to perfection bar-b-q grilled chicken. A few times they offered Hawaiian dishes and other local dishes. Here and there I mix it a bit and get a combo with the thinly sliced beef. I get the family size which perfectly feeds my boys and I. Yeah, my husband has to fend for himself. It comes with 4 generous scoops of rice, salad, and four cut up pieces of chicken for $ 12. Locaton: Buk Buk kitchen is associated with Mahiku farmers market. They travel to different areas.

This food was beyond amazing! I Usually do not eat at places like farmers market’s, but the smell of the barbecue attracted me. I immediately ordered my driver to pull over to get a plate. They are very friendly and have amazing service! I even got a xl plate for i believe 12 $. They fully stacked it, and i mean stacked! The lid would not even close! I am looking foward to eating there again next time i visit the island! — A happy customer.

Buk Buk kitchen is a food stand run by two friendly sisters that specializes in Filipino BBQ. We saw them at the International Marketplace on a Thursday night where the smell of freshly grilled meats brought us over. They handed out samples of their bbq pork and chicken. I also learned that they have mochiko chicken which I didn’t see that day. BBQCHICKENMINI plate — $ 8 — Tender and juicy, this tasted authentic! A typical FIlipino bbq marinade is based on 7up, brown sugar, garlic, etc. The soda and brown sugar create a sweet sticky almost teriyaki like glaze which these had.( ) Suggestions for improvement. — Portion size/Value — Kinda skimpy. I know were in Hawaii but at Fil-Am BBQ in Daly City, I can get these skewers for $ 2 a pc. — The side — I didn’t like the scooped corn out of the Costco sized can. At least prep it to put your own twist. Or even hide the can? — The rice! — Undercooked and mushy? First knuckle on your finger girl! You can find where they’ll be next —
