Aloha Shrimp

I was recommended to try Garlic shrimp by a lot of people on our trip to Oahu,Hawaii . I must say it's one of the most delicious food I ever had. Aloha shrimp came up on our search while traveling from Waikiki to North shore and we thought of giving it a try . It a food truck basically . The prices were reasonable and the service was quick . They greeted us with nice smile and they have a nice seating area where you can sit and enjoy your food. There are also some others fruit stands and trucks nearby ( I saw a Thai food truck right next to it ) . So you have many options in the same place if you wanna try something else however I recommend trying the garlic shrimp from Aloha Shrimp truck .

I've eaten lots of truck food. Gott'a say this truck is probably the cruddiest one I've ever seen. Dilapidated exterior and poking my head just inside it looks like a hoarder's nightmare in there. Cleanliness is completely absent. But on my Hawaiian companion's recommendation we ate here. Ordered one #1 and one #5. Price is $16 each. We shared a few of each other's shrimp. There's six medium size. Truthfully I tasted no difference between the supposedly different flavors. Shrimp was fresh and juicy. The sauces tasted like mild sriracha with a few other flavors mixed in. Nothing fresh nor vibrant. Steam white rice with 2 tablespoons of sauce drizzled on top was okay. Two tablespoons of canned corn on the side. A small wedge of sweet & tasty but stringy pineapple concludes the plate.I kind'a don't get the nearly 5 Yelp stars aggregate score. IMHO any plate lunch at Foodland supermarket is tastier, is nicer in appearance and made in a more hygienic kitchen.2.5 stars rounded up.There's plenty of other food trucks on this stretch of road. I'd take my chances with one of them than return here.

Single food truck off the side of the road on the eastern side of the island. Super unassuming but you'll see signs and their light blue truck if you follow the GPS. There are some unmarked places to park once you turn off the road -- you'll see some cars there already so you can park next to them.The Chinese couple who run this truck are so sweet. We ordered the #1 Garlic Shrimp and sat down at one of the 8 picnic tables they have outside their truck. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and drowning in butter + garlic. The rice soaked up the sauce on the shrimp, and the corn + pineapple sides were nice additions, albeit small (just one piece of sliced pineapple?). I'd come back again but I'd also be interested in trying one of the many other garlic shrimp plates in the North Shore to see how this stacks up.

The garlic shrimp was cooked perfectly but they were small. The order came with 8 small shrimp, a small slice of pineapple, 2 scoops of rice and a small scoop of cold canned corn. The only complaint I have is that there was no garlic taste.

Absolutely the best on the island. No comparison. Doesn't look like much but seriously smashes the other food trucks. Can't go wrong with the garlic shrimp. My personal fav was the spicy lemon garlic. Spicy, savory goodness directly from the Hawaiian shrimp gods.

My absolute favorite place to get shrimp. Always fresh. The workers are the best. Their sauce is 10/10. Skip Giovanni's & give them your money. Then walk over to Uncle at Coconut Joes & grab one açaí bowl lol

Tried this truck as it was the only thing open close by. The food was ok for me. We got the garlic shrimp it came with rice and some canned corn, and a slice of pineapple. You order and then go back to pick up when called. They have covered seating on the side and parking. It's a very casual and open environment.

Another really tasty shrimp truck! We came here after the Kualoa Ranch Tour and were excited to find they had garlic shrimp and spicy shrimp again. The spicy shrimp was really good, the sauce was divine. It came with rice, a slice of pineapple, and corn. I do prefer Jenny's shrimp truck more but the owner here was very sweet and there was a generous about of shrimp. There was also ample seating for us.Note: the forks do break very easily so try to be more gentle when you use them!

Eh. Disappointing. Shrimp was rubbery. Skins still on shrimp. The garlic was fantastic. But very little on the shrimp. Try a different shrimp truck.

Didn't have time to stop by the famous shrimp truck but did pass by Aloha Shrimp when we were on our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center--and so happy we did! Garlic shrimp was deliciously garlic-y and super fresh. There was plenty of parking and no wait.
