Famous Kahuku Shrimp Truck

Okay, North Shore shrimp tour complete, and I have a winner! The Famous Kahuku Shrimp's garlic butter shrimp is seriously next level. I hit up a bunch of spots, some were decent but this place just nailed it. Perfectly cooked, super fresh shrimp and amazing flavor! I practically inhaled it. No exaggeration, I've got this place on my bucket list every time we visit. Can't wait to come back!

PLEASE TRY THIS PLACE - SKIP Giovanni's !! Literally this whole trip I've been looking for the BEST garlic shrimp dish. We are staying at Waikiki, and i've tried many places near us, but did not like it AT ALL. While at the North Shore I stumbled upon this place, I wanted to try the bald guy, but he was closed. It was either this or Giovanni's. So I decided to try this place, I got their half-and-half plate, half garlic shrimp and half spicy garlic shrimp. I'll be honest with you, the shrimp was a little overcooked for my liking, it didn't have that "crunch". But oh my gosh, the sauce/ flavor was so unbelievably delicious like 11/10! So after I was done, I still wanted to try Giovanni's and see what the hype was about. I usually don't want to waste that much food, but honestly, it was not good whatsoever so I disposed it. Whoever said Giovanni's have the best garlic shrimp does not know good food!!! The only thing that was good was that their shrimp was not overcooked but as for FLAVOR- very very flavorless!! So my whole trip, trying and driving to multiple places needless to say, FAMOUS KAHUKU SHRIMP TRUCK TAKES THE WIN. It was so good that I went back today, and decided to drive an hour and 20 minutes away. I'll definitely miss this place once i return home. :( THANK YOU FOR FULFILLING MY GARLIC SHRIMP CRAVINGS!!

Okay I'm going to be honest, despite growing up on this island, I have actually never been to any of the iconic shrimp spots such as Giovanni's, Jenny's, Fumi's (RIP), etc.So, when I decided to go long a very long drive around the entire NE side of the island, Kahuku was on my list to hit.To preface, I really enjoy spice, so after hearing that Giovanni's spicy shrimp has a strong tabasco taste (which i personally do not enjoy) i went with the other option as they're in the same lot. In fact, if you are visiting the Kahuku Sugar Mills spot, there is A LOT of food truck options. There is also plenty of seating go to around, and all pretty self service from there. Note: Thankfully there's also a few porta-potty stalls in the lot as well, which is decently maintained and not like the horrendous ones i've experienced at some events.Also the view is nice, plus plenty of kitties around if you like cats it'd be a plus.Back to the food:- I ordered the spicy shrimp and steak mix plate. My expectations were honestly quite high and this was pretty disappointing. The shrimp was good, the garlic flavor could have definitely been stronger. My main complaint is the steak. I understand it is not its speciality, however it was super chewy and rubbery and not seasoned thoroughly imo. Just not enjoyable overall and downgraded the entire plate. If I had just gotten the shrimp it'd be a 7.8/10 but with the steak, 6.4/10. Not even close to something I would come back for, although I definitely need to try the other iconic spots to compare.

I was excited to bring Ohana to try as I haven't eaten any of the shrimp trucks in a long while.Shrimps were good and sweet; garlic sauce was good but a little too thick, strong and drenched all over rice as well as shrimp.I would recommend asking them not to put sauce on your rice so it's not overwhelming.Service ok

This really hit the spot! This shrimp is like trouble in that it's dangerously good! It was so delish that I was eating non-stop without any breaks in between. It should definitely be on everyone's bucket list to visit at least once during their Oahu vacation/trip~ ALOHA!

Came here with my boyfriend after being disappointed with another well known shrimp truck nearby's wait time and let me tell you this place did not disappoint us at all their Garlic Shrimp was SO MUCH BETTER! The order took a reasonable time to wait for not long at all! The garlic sauce was a major umami ono bomb (Especially with the rice is a cherry on top)! The prices were also really affordable and reasonable. 10/10 We would come again and the food totally makes up for the North Shore traffic. Must stop when you're in the area there are also other cool food-trucks/shopping around!

If you are looking for a shrimp truck on island, I recommend stopping here. People are probably going to recommend Giovanni's in Haleiwa, but Kahuku Shrimp Truck is just as good if not better in my opinion and you will avoid an hour long wait. There are also several other food trucks here so if you want to sample a few different dishes it is easy to do that here.

Had coconut shrimp and shrimp tempura and both were delicious. Served on a bit of lettuce with two scoops of rice.

The best shrimp we've had in our life! Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon: parking was easy, plenty of benches for seating, and not a long wait. Both of our plates were finger-licking good.

The food was great! Especially the spicy shrimp, they use fresh ingredients. I also loved the steak, squid and coconut shrimp. They were huge pieces of shrimp.
