    Garlic butter shrimp (not deveined)
    Brenda V.

    Food was delicious for the Large shrimps that were deveined . I was asked if I wanted the head or not, I picked no head. Unfortunately half the shrimp was not deveined. Charging $20 for a shrimp plate and not deveining them is not great. I took my food to go so I wasn't able to bring it to their attention at the time. I tried my best to do it myself but I'm not very good . It was gritty.

    A few weeks late on this review... Food (3 stars) ~ Poke bowl with salmon and ahi was basic and a bit heavy on soy sauce. Portion was generous, but it didn't stand out. Perhaps a creamy version would've suited us more. ~ Cajun-style shrimp was fresh and large, but spice-wise, we were hoping for something more garlic-butter based. Just a preference! Service/Ambiance (3 stars) ~ You order, get a buzzer, and pick up your food. Straightforward. Shared outdoor seating and when I say shared I really mean you might be sharing the bench with another group. It's truly a casual food truck setting. We might give them another try, but next time we'll definitely go for a more recommended combo!

    Yum!!!! Got two shrimp plates- one mild and one regular! Devoured it all. Came out super hot and piping hot. Wolves loved some lemon of some sort but it was quite delightful

    I came here because I saw it trending videos and didn't have access to north shore. There are few other food truck share the little compound. Parking could be tricky sometimes. I ordered spicy garlic shrimp. Service was fast. They have plenty of seating area. It was not super spicy but enjoyable. The style is different from north shore. Overall it was ok.

    My boyfriend got the spicy shrimp plate! He ate every shrimp and rice, was up to his standard on the spicy level! Excellent food, service and cute area to sit and eat!

    Let's start with the Plantation Iced Tea -- it was amazing! It's a sweet tea with pineapple, and honestly one of the best drinks I've had. Super refreshing. I don't remember the exact shrimp flavor I ordered, but I think it was the spicy garlic. I liked that they give you the option of getting the shrimp with the heads on or off. The shrimp were a little difficult to peel, though. The flavor was good and had plenty of garlic, but it didn't really remind me of the classic Hawaii-style shrimp plates. It tasted more like Cajun seafood that I could easily get back home. Also, despite the name, it wasn't very spicy to me. It wasn't very busy when we visited, so we got our food pretty quickly. There were also plenty of tables in the area, and some even had umbrellas for shade or rain coverage.

    I stopped by Amy Shrimp and Poke Shake for a late dinner after a full day of exploring the city, and it hit the spot perfectly. The poke was incredibly fresh. you could taste the quality in every bite. The fish was clean, tender, and well-prepared, but what really stood out was the spicy soy sauce. It had a great kick without being overpowering, adding just the right amount of heat and flavor to elevate the entire dish. Portion-wise, it was exactly what I needed not too heavy, but satisfying enough to recharge after a long day. It's the kind of meal that leaves you full but not weighed down. If you're looking for something fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced for a late-night bite, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

    Famous Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp plate $19.95 that came with a side of salads and rice. We got our order with heads-on shrimps. There were 6 pieces of medium sized shrimps with white rice underneath the shrimps. This dish tasted like the ones from the boiling crab from CA. A lot of garlic pieces in the sauce with shrimps. This place was in the area with other food trucks. Parking was difficult around this area. There were few tables to eat there. If you cannot find empty tables then you will most likely be eating in the car after buying your foods.

    Ordered the poke and garlic shrimp plate. Poke- 2.75/5 pretty decent and portion is good for price. I couldn't taste the fish taste too much which is why I rated it lower. But the sauce was good and still pretty fresh. Garlic shrimp- 4/5 my only wish was it should have a bit more sauce but that just may be my preference. The sauce was super tasty and portion was great!

    Amy's Shrimp and Poke Shack is located in Honolulu about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the place we were staying at - Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. It is located on the corner of Kalakaua Ave surrounded by other food trucks and shacks. One of the foods we wanted to try while vacationing in Honolulu was garlic shrimp so we were excited to see Amy's. We ordered the Spicy Shrimp Plate and it was very flavorful. My only complaint was how hard the shrimp were to peel (I have a thing about getting my hands dirty when eating) - they also still had their poop line still intact. The rice that came with was cooked nice, it also came with a side salad which I did not try. Since this is just a shack, you order at the front, they call your name and then they offer picnic tables to sit at which helped with the Hawaiian vibes. Overall, it was a big plate of food that easily fed 2-3 people and we left fairly satisfied and full. Staff was also very nice and personable!

    The food was delicious. Shrimp were huge and flavorful. The dressing on the salad was top tier. I would like the shrimp to be a bit more seasoned given that it's essentially seasoning on the shell which you peel off. The workers were friendly and helpful. Affordable pricing.

    It is very tasty and fresh and you can have the heads on or ask them to remove the heads. The owner was very nice to us and explained to us how we are supposed to clean the shrimps and gave us special gloves!

    The shrimp were perfectly cooked: juicy, tender, and coated in a rich garlic butter sauce that was bold without being overpowering. You can tell they know exactly when to pull shrimp off the heat. The salad was a great surprise: crisp, fresh, and light, which helped balance out the richness from the buttered shrimp really well. Simple, well-executed, and very satisfying. Service: The cashier was super friendly and genuinely happy to help. They took the time to walk me through the menu, answered questions without rushing, and made the ordering experience feel welcoming rather than transactional. You could tell they cared about the food and the guest experience. Ambiance: Cozy and inviting. It's the kind of spot that feels relaxed and authentic, perfect for grabbing something delicious without overthinking it. Great for a laid-back meal after a long day.

I'm not writing this review to bash this shrimp truck because I think they are very nice but more so as constructive criticism...to hopefully keep their recipe consistent. People want the flavor of Garlic shrimp without having to go to the north shore. These other seasonings just didn't cut it for me:(

This place was popping at 8PM on a Saturday night…read more I ordered the Chee Hoo combo which came with beef brisket, baby back ribs, smoked sausage, and short ribs. It was ~$30 and easily shareable with 2-3 people. Everything tasted great and I loved the smokey flavor and bbq sauce. Beef brisket and short rib were kinda tough and chewy. It came with three sides so I got cole slaw, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. Cole slaw and Mac and cheese were solid; Potato salad was just alright. They also gave one warm bun too. The reason I gave 3 stars was because service was extremely slow. It seemed like they were short staff and had one person at the cash register AND getting the food. He would take a few orders, and then grab the food. When I arrived, he was grabbing food for multiple folks so then I stood there waiting like 15 just to place my order. Then when he restarted and took my order, he took like 5 more orders before grabbing the food so then I waited even longer for another 15 min. That's 30 min of waiting! Also he wasn't serving food in the order that orders were received so it felt actually felt even longer. There needs to be a better system! Surprisingly he did a employee discount on my order. Not sure if it's because it was close to closing time. Btw they charge extra if you order to-go because of the supplies for packaging. I think food is alright but wouldn't return and wait that long for bbq.

It moves steadily though, and it is worth it. Inside is tiny, just one small table, so this is really an order and go kind of place rather than somewhere to sit and eat. They have every musubi combination you could think of, unagi, avocado, cucumber, egg, bacon, ume, tofu skin, shrimp, you name it. I got the tuna mayo onigiri and wished they had packed in a little more tuna filling, but it was still tasty. I also tried the cucumber spam musubi, which was really good too. We came as a group of seven and everyone ordered something different, and everyone loved every bite. My tip: get at least two musubis per person. A few people in our group got four each and had zero regrets. One thing to know ahead of time is parking. It is street parking only and pretty limited, so plan for that if you are driving.

We ordered around eight of them, so it was especially disappointing to find that they were mostly rice. The portions just don't feel balanced. If someone pays extra for "Double Tuna," they're expecting more tuna, NOT extra rice. Unfortunately, it felt like they were really skimping on the filling, and the quality didn't live up to the hype for us.

However, after having to abandon our original dinner plans, we were no less intrigued after randomly stumbling across this place. While they may not have been our first choice for dinner, coming here was far more appealing than eating fast food or at the nearby IHOP! Although seeing so many folks at this mini food truck park may have been what caught our attention, it was the boxes of fried chicken on nearly every table that swayed us to try Waikiki Chicken in Paradise in particular. After skimming the menu, it wasn't hard to see why they were such a popular choice - everything on it sounded great. Granted, that's not overly difficult when there are only eight items to choose from, but tough to argue with the likes of fried chicken loco moco, fried chicken curry rice, fried chicken sandwiches, chicken & croffle, and fish & chips! Since we saw how big the portion were and didn't want anything too heavy (read: sadly, no loco moco or Japanese curry), we opted to split a FRIED CHICKEN RICE PLATE ($16.95) which came with a Fried Chicken Cutlet over White Rice with Mac Salad & Green Salad. Funny enough, despite already having a sense of how much food they give, I was still surprised by the generous portion size. As for how it all tasted, this was great. The breading on the chicken reminded me of Popeye's (though, without the spice), the batter was crispy, and the chicken itself was rather moist. As for the sides, the mac salad was pretty good, but the salad was a little heavy on dressing. If there was one thing I could change about our order, I think I'd want to see how it would taste with a sauce or glaze. At the very least, I'd definitely go with a different dipping sauce, like their Pineapple Ginger, Lilikoi Mayo, or Guava BBQ, as the Honey Mustard we went with tasted a bit generic. Of course, we could've solved both problems if we had gone with the Fried Chicken Loco Moco or Fried Chicken Curry Rice instead! I guess I'll just have to wait until the next time I'm in Waikiki!
