    Spicy shrimp
    Vanessa M.

    My family and I were staying at an Airbnb down the road. I really wanted some shrimp and found this spot on Yelp. Our very large group ordered a variety of items. The spicy shrimp was the biggest hit. The spice was perfect and I enjoyed every bite of my meal. The truck is on the side of a store and has open seating on picnic benches. The folks working were friendly and provided great service for our large group. The food came out fresh and in a timely manner. I highly recommend a stop here and I wish I had time to go back for more.

    Well the stars don't lie. Thats it. I have nothing to add other than glad we found our way up this way during our first exploratory day in the rental car on Oahu. Worth it.

    Best spots around the island are those little stops along the highway. Usually next to a store or market. This is cash only and they have lots of different shrimp. I picky about my shrimp and usually don't like the peel and eat shrimp which has lots of flavor on the shell and nothing on the shrimp. So I ended up getting the coconut shrimp and my hubby got tempura shrimp. Lots of shrimp, cooked well and served with rice and corn. Lots of seating and lots of roadside chickens running around. Friendly, quick, flavorful !

    Away from the big crowds of the Kahuku shrimp trucks is Aloha Shrimp in Hauula. It's easy to miss so keep an eye out for the blue building and food truck. There's a nice big open grassy space with shaded picnic tables to enjoy your food at. There's a few other food trucks in the area that share this eating area. They even have a little hand washing station, along with trash and recycling bins that were very well maintained. The ambiance is really chill and you may even see their resident family of chickens. We ordered the classic garlic shrimp and the spicy garlic lemon shrimp. Each plate comes with corn, a slice of pineapple, and rice with that sauce all over. Usually, if there are two versions of a dish- I usually like the spicy version better. Comparing the normal garlic butter with the spicy is so difficult because of how good the garlic butter is on it's own. The spicy has a bit of a vinegar tangy spice with a nice medium - high heat. My friend really loved the spicy one, so I ended up eating more of the regular garlic shrimp. Once you place your order, you'll get a beeper that goes off when your food is ready. For two plates, it took around 10-15 minutes. Service is very friendly and you can tell that the people here put a lot of care into their food.

    Consistency! Aloha climbed its way to the top of my list. Ran by a super hard working humble family. First to open and last to close. Super fresh shrimp. Killer sauce #5. Wish they had a Mac salad vs the canned corn. Off the menu: #5 over noodles. (Pictured) #5 sauce with the cutlet The little engine that could. Keep it up guys! Thank you for feeding me through the years and the smiles. Mahalo.

    My favorite shrimp spot on the island! It's about a an hour drive for me, but always worth it. I usually stop by on my way to the North Shore. The coconut shrimp is great, but the spicy garlic lemon shrimp is unmatched. The owners are super sweet and the food comes out fast every time. Highly recommend!

    This use to be my favorite shrimp truck but this most recent trip here has left me slightly disappointed. They got the sauce down and it is impeccable. The spiciness is not overbearing and it is the perfect richness from the butter. The shrimp, however, was kind of mushy this time. Previously, the shrimps were plump and not mushy so maybe I came on an off day. Overall great shrimp truck to check out with an abundance of parking. Plenty of seating for dining. The workers here are always nice and are quick to pump out the food.

    YES. YES. YES. Ma and Pa truck, sweet people, AMAZING food. And nature as ambience... what a dream. I love Aloha Shrimp. Everything I thought it'd be; even my daughter ate the skin of the shrimp!! No evidence left on the plate!

    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 .

    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.

    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!

    Love, love, love Aloha Shrimp! This was the very first place we ate after arriving on the island, and let me tell you--the bar was set high right from the start. The customer service was excellent. They were super patient with me while I took my time deciding what to order. The menu isn't huge, but I wanted to be sure of my choice. Their most popular items are the #1 and #5: garlic shrimp and spicy garlic shrimp, both served with rice, pineapple and corn. The food took a few minutes to prepare, but we didn't mind--it gave us a chance to take in the scenery and watch the chickens running around. When the food came out, the aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water. The shrimp was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. You really can't beat it. The garlic topping on both the shrimp and rice added even more flavor, though the corn was a bit of a letdown--cold and straight from the can. But honestly? The shrimp was so amazing, I didn't even care. In fact, it was so good that after grabbing sushi later that day, we stopped by again and picked up another plate on the way to our destination. I'm so glad we gave this food truck a try--10/10 would absolutely recommend!

    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.

    We visited last weekend on Easter Sunday, and it was busy! Everything is prepared fresh to order,…read moreso it's worth the wait, for sure. My husband and I ordered the Mongolian beef with ahi cakes, the char siu with ahi cakes, and the Teri burger. We started with the Teri burger, which was served with a pineapple slaw on top. At first I was a little apprehensive, but it was absolutely delicious. Mild but flavorful, the slaw was the yin to the burgers yang - a perfect combination. The patty was thick and juicy, which was also completely unexpected. The Mongolian beef was well-executed - a good balance of meat and bell peppers; I was expecting this dish to be too spicy for me, but I found it to be just right. The ahi cakes were huge, so you would think they would be dry...you would also be wrong. They were perfectly dense while still moist, with the perfect aioli drizzled on top. The bonus? You get two! I didn't try the char siu, but my husband said it hit the spot. While char siu can sometimes be greasy, this was anything but. The pork was wok fried with a combination of fresh veggies, and was the perfect complement to the ahi cakes. The drive was long but scenic, and this food truck is right across the street from the ocean. Beautiful views, mouth-watering food, and great service (thanks, Jon!) make this place a must.

We stopped there to eat because we were desperate and all the other places we passed were closed (it was Sunday evening). I can look past the crappiness of the outdoors and interior so we sat at a table and were looking through the menu and were astounded at the very high prices. We honestly wanted to get up and walk out because it was astronomically high, especially in a run down restaurant like that! My husband took our son to the bathroom and he came out saying it was atrocious and so dirty he didn't even let our son flush the toilet. (It takes a lot for my husband to complain about the dirtiness of a place so I knew it must have been horrible) He said it was so dirty and disgusting he couldn't believe they'd keep their bathrooms like that. Needless to say, we ordered our food - I had the shrimp kebobs (2 skewers, some fries & a tiny salad on the side of my plate) for over $16, I ordered my son the fish sandwich (he's 3..they had no kid's menu but that didn't bother me since it wasn't exactly a kid's restaurant, but I just wanted to note for others that there is no kid's menu) which was the cheapest sandwich on the menu for $12+, and my husband ordered the spicy shrimp something for over $16. A cup of juice was over $3 and sodas were $2. Needless to say our bill was just about $70 for two adults and one toddler and we didn't even order any alcohol. The food was good, especially my son's fish sandwich, BUT, I would not go back. The place was dirty, rundown and very overpriced.
