My husband and I visited this food truck and spent around $40. The food was satisfactory. I ordered the Hawaiian beef coconut shrimp, and I could sense the freshness of the shrimp. However, the beef was okay; it was slightly red and hard to chew. The extensive menu can be overwhelming, but the basic sides remain consistent with different protein options.
The portions were huge! We had the Hawaiian beef skewers and shared 4 between two people with the rice, salad and bun. It was a lot of food. No dressing in the salad, which was fine cause we mixed it with the rice. Overall good bang for your buck.
Cashier was friendly. There's a lot of items on the menu and pictures of every item. Mostly slight variations of the same items, though, individually then combined. Ahi and another fish, shrimp, lobster, squid, etc. Same stuff as most seafood restaurants. You'll get a huge amount of white rice with whatever they grill placed on top. My ahi was substantial, a plank of fish but pretty tough. The Hawaiian shrimp is grilled shrimp (also tough) with a sauce and pineapples. The spices were somewhat overpowering, maybe too much on the salt and pepper. Seating was outside, plastic tables with metal and plastic folding chairs. In a pinch, food was good enough to keep going, though you'd do better at a food court.
This food truck was amazing! Just a block or two away from Waikīkī, they have over 100 different options of food to try from. Everything from traditional Hawaiian food, to pizza and hamburgers, even breakfast! We came to the blue box once a day, and i my favorite was by far the salmon! It was cooked to and seasoned to perfection, with a golden crust on the edge of the fish. It’s also owned by the sweetest locals who came to know my Salmon order by the end of our stay. 10/10 would recommend going here!
Blue Ocean Seafood and Steak doesn’t look like much from the outside — it’s literally a big blue converted seacan — but don’t let that fool you. This place is so worth a stop! The menu is huge, the combo prices are great, and the food is way better than you’d expect from such an unassuming setup. I ordered the lamb and prime rib combo, and honestly, I’m still thinking about it. Both were cooked perfectly — tender, juicy, and totally melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I went around 6:30pm on a Sunday and got my food within 15 minutes of ordering, which blew me away. The staff were friendly, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. They’ve got upbeat hits playing over the speakers, which adds a fun vibe — maybe not the best for a romantic date, but perfect for a casual, easygoing meal. If you’re hesitating about checking this place out, don’t. Go. You’ll thank yourself later!
