Kahuku Shrimp Go-Rae

Love the shrimp here. I always get the spicy garlic shrimp here with 2 scoops. I used to get 3 but my spice tolerance went down. If you like spicy go with 1 or 2. 3 is basically a challenge lol. She will warn you as well. If not ask for 1/2 spoon. Or just get garlic shrimp. Comes with 4 random Banchan made in house. Favorite roulette is food roulette. Tiny, quirky little liquor store with one of my favorite shrimp on the island. Check them out. Mom and pop shop.

Garlic shrimp from a liquor store? Yes please! Probably the last place I would expect a good plate lunch, but I'm always down for some good food! Saw this place on someone else's IG and had to go. Got a normal garlic shrimp and a two scoop spicy. The spicy is HOT! I died. My face melted and I gave up after two shrimp. Nothing would fix it. If you love hot, go for it. If you're a wuss like me, normal non spicy is where it's at.For the price, it's a good value. Will be back for some normal garlic shrimp!

Came here for their garlic shrimp and it was good. Lady working the liquor store counter was the only person there and went in the back to cook and package up the shrimp. It definitely has a Korean twist to it and it kinda tasted like fried garlic breadcrumbs on the shrimp, but it was good overall. $16 is a little expensive, especially for only 6 shrimp (they were fairly large shrimp and butterflied). I liked that it included a small variety of Korean banchan sides, different than your standard box plate lunches in Honolulu. Overall, it was a nice meal and it was nice there is easy parking in front. This is just a small liquor store so there are not any tables to sit at inside.

This place is good. It's unexpected because it's inside of a tiny mini market called Gorae but it's $14 for spicy and $15 for garlic butter.These shrimps are flavorful! It's got a little bit of Korean twist to it. A little bit sweet but spicy. I got half scoop and I thought it was pretty spicy. Anyways, I recommend it! A kakaako gem!

The best place for food poisoning. My shrimp was crumbly and freezer burnt. I would never plate the shrimp in that condition. It's ok if you're on vacation but not if you are working and can't spend the whole afternoon on the toilet.

Spicy garlic shrimp plate review:Much much better than Giovanni's shrimp shack. This is hands down the best shrimp place I've been. I'm a huge fan of spice and this place did the job well. Composition & portion:Main: Rice, shrimpSides: salad, Mac salad, pickled veggies, chicken Very large and fillingTaste: Seasoned to perfection. So much garlic, not much grease. Spice level:If you like a good kick I would go with 1/2 a spoon or 1 spoon spice. If you want to be obliterated, try the 2 spoon (the owners gave me a wide eyed warning). The spice from a two spoon will leave your stomach (and more) in pain for hours (at best)! Texture:Shrimp shell is crispy and crunchy. Perfect for if you like to eat the shell with the shrimp to take in all the flavors! Unlike Giovanni's plastic textured shrimp shells, you can definitely enjoy these.

This is a minimart not a food truck. I am not sure if this is associated with the kahuka food truck. The shrimp were good, they were shell on and butterflied. They weren't very spicy, but had a mild heat (we got the regular, we could've made it spicier). The mart is korean owned so the sides were more korean than traditional hawaiian plates. The shrimp were good but nothing amazing but we were starving after the pearl harbor museum and decided to stop by here than the Giovanni'sEdit at end of trip. This was one of the better style shrimp plates we got. Out of all of the different shrimp styles, I like the Kahuku shrimp style vs the traditional garlic/scampi.

I didn't get a chance on my Oahu trip to make it to the North Shore and thus didn't get an opportunity to try the famous garlic shrimp trucks.But, a Yelp search directed me to this little hole-in-the wall in an assuming mom & pop store. I got the garlic shrimp with 1 scoop of spice, which had a good amount of zing. The shrimp was delicious as well the the sauce it was drenched in. I can't attest to how this compares to the North Shore garlic shrimp trucks, but this little shrimp place was super tasty!

If you love spicy this is the spot! This is top 3 of the places we've eaten in Oahu. Food was ready in 7 minutes.

Ordered japchae and a garlic shrimp plate last week after seeing the rave reviews. Being that the Japchae is put in the plastic container when it's hot, the noodles fuse together and after sticking a fork in it, it came out like a japchae popsicle. As for the shrimp plate, they must coat the shrimp in flour and when eating, it had the flour mush on it. Disappointed
