Started by Ned Aikau in the late ‘70s and now operated by his son Keni, Hungry Hawaiian is a beloved staple of the Salt Lake City, UT community. And it’s easy to see why after sampling the rich, bold flavor packed into each and every one of these traditional Hawaiian dishes. Popping up at parties throughout the city, this truck whips up fare that’s the very antithesis of bland.
The plates here stick to a seemingly simple combination of rice, veggies, and meat. While this may sound a bit dull, rest assured the myriad of robust spices and sauces flavoring up every entree makes them anything but boring. From teriyaki chicken to kalua pork, every dish will leave you wanting more. Don’t forget a saccharine slice of guava cake for dessert, of course. Stomach rumbling yet? Then book Hungry Hawaiian for your next event.
