      South Pacific Grill had the best Hawaiian food in the Tampa Bay Area. The Mac salad is so good to come back for alone.

      We got the Huli Huli chicken plate with kimchi rice and Mac salad then the kalua pork sandwich with fries. Both were great.

      They're definitely worth a trip out to Brandon multiple times a month. Service was fantastic and the food truck vibe, food, and service made us feel like we were back in Hawaii.

      Just make sure to check the open hours on instagram or given them a call (right now it's only Sundays).

      I'm really glad I gave this place a 2nd shot. My first time here I got the huli huli chicken by itself but it's much better as a sandwich version.
      The bread sops up the extra sauce and the lettuce gives it a nice crunch.
      Pair it with their french fries and generous portion of mac n cheese you have yourself a delicious meal!
      Their fries have a generous coating of seasoning and comes with a dip.
      I wasn't a fan of the Hawaiian drink because it's way too sugary for me but if that doesn't bother you, it's good.

      You've got to try it on your way to or from a BOM (Brandon Oriental Market) visit!

      **TIP: If you go with someone, one sandwich order and a side is enough to split between 2 people.
      They have limited seating (2 tents) so best to plan to eat in the car as a back up or take to-go.

      Huli huli chicken sandwich is so good!

      First, make sure you follow South Pacific Grill on Facebook, as they post their schedule for the week there, and their location changes day to day!

      My husband and I tried South Pacific Grill and it was absolutely delicious! I had the pork entree, and my husband had the trio entree (with all three proteins). The food was fresh, the service was fast, and the food was excellent. 10/10 would recommend!

      I thought I reviewed this restaurant a long time ago . This is my go to place for lunch on Wednesdays when the truck is near my work place . I have had the pork, ribs, chicken and shrimp meals and white rice and macaroni salad. The food is freshly prepared and has nice Asian flavours. Staff is always friendly. I would recommend calling in your order before pickup.

      My favorite food truck in all of Tampa. Food is always delicious and fresh, and the owner and team working the truck are all the friendliest people you could ever meet. Very unique fusion of food, you can't go wrong with anything from the menu.

      I've known about this food truck for years and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. I had never actually physically seen it until today. It was in front of the Brandon Oriental Market on Pauls Drive between Brandon Blvd and Oakfield Drive. I feel like it's a hidden gem, even though they visit many parts of Brandon and the name is out there. I just haven't been to any of those other spots.

      Fresh Hawaiian food is their specialty. I was blown away by what I tasted today. I've never had Hawaiian food before but I could tell it was very authentic just by reading the reviews. What I love is that the food is unique and full of flavor. The side dishes are very solid. I think any fried rice (kimchi or coconut) that you choose will be a winner. I tried my husband's kimchi fried rice from his Hawaiian mixed plate and it was so wonderful.

      So, I dropped off my husband's food and took the rest to my mother's house. Mom loved the South Pacific wings! She commented every now and then when she got that little kick of heat, but it was sweet and spicy for the most part. I had to try one and it was very good. We shared some of my shrimp and coconut fried rice. My coconut fried rice soaked up the sweet chili sauce from the shrimp which made it even more tasty. The whole plate was amazing including the citrus ginger slaw. I could eat that slaw every day. I love that it has no mayo. The ginger and citrus flavors were very present. Loved all of it!!

      My husband called as we were finishing our meal. He wanted to know where I got it from. He was pretty impressed with the flavors. Just hearing that made me happy because it's very rare to hear him rave about any kind of food. It looks like we'll be visiting South Pacific Grill on a regular basis. I was told that they are there every Sunday. It will be our go-to spot for all things Hawaiian.

      Very good Hawaiian food out of a food truck in front of Brandon Oriental Market. Clearly this place is frequented by locals as the lady taking orders knew people by name and made personal small talk with them.

      I ordered the the short ribs plate with kimchi rice and ginger citrus slaw. It was all very good. The short ribs were succulent. The kimchi rice could have been spicier, but it was still good. The slaw was refreshing. The serving size was good -- I had enough for a second meal. I also ordered the banana spring rolls. They were superb -- crispy and sweet on the outside, creamy on the inside. The coconut dipping sauce was completely unnecessary.

      I am docking a star because none of the employees were wearing masks, and there was no hand sanitizer available to customers.

      Just tried this place with my little sister and brother! food was SO good! we were in a bit of a rush so we only tried one item, we ordered the Cheese Steak Eggrolls, and it took everything in me not to order ANOTHER one for the road! It was incredibly delicious. not to mention the owners were extremely friendly and attentive. we ate outside and they made sure we had plenty of utensils and condiments. Next time i'm back in Florida, I can't wait to try more items on the menu. highly recommend!
