We stopped by around 10AM a few days later and were able to try the Braised Boneless Kalbi and the Garlic Shrimp plate. The food was so delicious, it was all we could talk about on our trip. Kalbi was extremely tender and flavorful. Garlic Shrimp had no shell (yay)! It was cooked perfectly. We went up again but the Kalbi was sold out already for the day. We decided to try the Chopped Steak and it did not compare to our previous meal. It was more tough/dry. I wasn't sure if it was already precooked before hand and just sitting there. When we ordered, they handed over our plate right after we paid. Definitely left disappointed. Would make sure to come early since whatever that is left may not be what you want to try.

After we were walking around checking out the other options and we sampled a piece of chicken here. Even though we had just ate, we purchased some chicken to share because it was THAT good.

I just liked the lilikoi honey mustard--certainly not something I've had before. * Lobster dog: I liked the consistency! It reminded me of a crab cake.

Another drawback is that this vendor is cash only, which can be inconvenient if you're not prepared. With so many great food trucks and dining options in the area, this one simply didn't stand out. We were drawn in by the sign and the concept, but the experience didn't live up to the hype. I'd recommend spending your hard-earned money elsewhere and exploring some of the many better options nearby.

My husband and I had the jerk chicken one and it was full of flavor! It had just the right amount of deep fried crunch on the outside and spicy jerk flavor. Now it wasn't as spicy as the traditional Jamaican Jerk for my spice lovers, but definitely still packing with flavor. We also got the peach mango rub fries! You heard right, a peach mango rub (made from scratch by Chef D, the owner ) that one would typically put on a slow roasted or smoked meat was thrown on some hot crispy fries with a barbecue drizzle sauce.... Mm mm good . Speaking of the owner, he was serving with his daughter, and their "up" spirits and welcoming smiles created a fun but family atmosphere... great ambiance! Chef D told us his story and how they got there in Hawaii. But most of all his passion for food was very evident. Between the excellent food, service and ambiance this place was a great, unique experience

The chef is from Philly and not only is his food rich in flavor, he's rich because he got the family there with him, and they provide the best service and amazing vibes. I could have easily chatted with them all day, they are super cool, creating a very welcoming ambience. I enjoyed the jerk chicken and Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and be warned, they are HUGE, great portions, easy to share, because he splits them in half. Both were a 10/10, I would have them again! Philly was out of this world good! The filling of these egg rolls taste delicious and gourmet, you can absolutely tell in every single bite the thought, intention, and time it took to prepare these unique flavors! Washed it down with a refreshing guava lemonade. :) You will not regret stopping here, and probably will be back for more. Mahalo!

Truly a hidden (but not so hidden) gem!…read more We randomly stopped by this place on our journey of exploring the North Shore. Upon a quick search, some people said they prefer this spot over another popular shrimp truck. Happy to say it was one of the highlights of our trip! The staff was very friendly and helpful. After ordering though a window, you wait for your number to be called and pick up the food. There are plenty of seatings around. We got the famous butter garlic shrimps and the salt and pepper shrimps plates. Both were delicious with great shrimp texture and freshness; however, we both agree salt and pepper shrimps are heavily underrated. Another bonus point is that the shells on the salt and pepper shrimps had a slight crunchy texture so I did not have to peel them. So happy to have found them!

Tanaka Shrimp in Kahuku was a last‑minute stop after seeing the positive online reviews. We ordered…read morethe butter garlic shrimp at $18 each, and the plates came out within about ten minutes. I missed the chance to take a photo, but the sautéed garlic was served over both the rice and the shrimp. Unfortunately, the overall flavor was flat, and the shrimp itself was a bit rubbery and needed more seasoning. My niece tried the spicy garlic shrimp, and the rice ended up being spicier than the shrimp. Tanaka seems to have steady traffic from tour groups, with visitors coming and going throughout the day. If you're a fan of Romy's, you may leave disappointed.

If you follow me, then you know about my search for the best fried chicken I can get my hands on. Well, Chef Bells definitely ranks high in my list! The fried chicken is done fresh. You can watch him doing the fry-up while you wait. The seasoning is just right. The outside is crisp & inside is juicy. It seriously so good! The Mac n Cheese is EXACTLY what I look for. Cheese, bacon, and bread crumbs. There is cheese all the way through - not just sitting on top. The noodles were soft, not rubbery. I'm telling you, you HAVE to try it! DELICIOUS! The pricing was a la carte. It was $3 for each piece of chicken and $3 per scoop of Mac n Cheese. Was it worth it? YES! He definitely has a new fan in me!

I would go with the fried chicken (so freaking delicious), along with their rice with special seasoning (can't remember the formal name), as well as the cornbread. OK, and can I just say a word about the chicken? OMG. The chicken. Fried perfectly so the skin is just right and the chicken is so dang juicy. They set up I think on Tuesdays but if you ever see their tent out, you have to go more than once because the food is crazy good and I kind of want them to open their own restaurant here in Kahuku . lol.
