On our way to Waimea Falls, my hubby and I stopped here for lunch. Place is very small but cute…read more Parking is at the back of the restaurant. They only serve cold food here. If you want hot and cold food you have to go to the Aiea location. Everyone was very nice. We ordered in the counter Tostada de Atun, tostada de Camaron cocido and a 160z of ceviche with chips. -Tostada de Atun - 10/10 - tuna was fresh and the sesame sauce and tobiko spread was so delicious!!! This is a must order! We devoured it. -Tostada de Camaron - 10/10 - love how juicy this tostada was and lots of shrimp!!! It was refreshing and the tobiko spread tied the dish all together! A must have as well! -ceviche - 10/10 - was full of shrimp, lots of trimmings and the flavor was spot on! If your by Haleiwa this is a place to stop by for some refreshing tacos. You will be happy you did!

It's not the best place to dine in because of the limited space, but I always get my orders to go anyway and I'm in and out within 2 minutes of ordering. There's also ample parking in the back of the building. I got the 16 oz ceviche and it comes with 5 tostadas all made in house. It's consistently refreshing and flavorful. It's the perfect quick meal to take to the beach or if you've been craving something a little healthier on your trip. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

It was crunchy. The fries were pipping hot and very tasty. We also tried a plate with some nice poke and coconut shrimp. The food is good quality and hits the spot. The problem was the amount of time it took to make and deliver the food to the customers. There were two people in the truck. It was as if they were cooking one thing at a time. It look at least an hour and there were not even that many people in line waiting. One woman was taking orders and the man was cooking. The woman said it was her first or second day but in the time my husband ordered, my other child and I walked around for twenty minutes looking for other options (I wanted garlic shrimp, and they did not offer that on their menu), I went across the way after our walk, ordered a meal, got my meal, and sat there waiting to eat and it still look half an hour for the rest of the family to receive their orders. It was absolutely ridiculous. As another patron stated on Yelp, perhaps they should have stopped taking orders if they could not keep up. Love the food here, but not sure I would recommend my family coming back next time.

The food is so good, but it was so unfortunate I felt like the service was really lackluster and…read moredisappointing. Everything we ordered was cooked really well, we didn't need to add any extra salt or pepper, and we finished every single plate. All of our sides complimented our main dishes really well so we had no issues concerning our food or drinks. I really felt like the service offset my experience here. I get that restaurants can be relatively busy, being that I've worked in a kitchen myself, I understand the stress of making sure every customer gets the experience they want and the attention we deserve. I feel like our waitress did not extend that opportunity to us. She would cut me off and answer my question before I even got the opportunity to get it out. And there were various other times she'd immediately walk off after delivering food or drinks not giving us the opportunity to ask any questions or request anything else we may have wanted. However, the location is beautiful and the food really is tasty so don't let my experience deter you from trying it. It's surrounded by nearby shops, all carrying really cool and nice items.

Stonefish is located in the Haleiwa Town Center, so there's lots of free parking in the lot behind…read more I came here for brunch on a Friday, and there was no wait to be seated. We were given the option of sitting inside or outside. I loved the wood furniture and plants that were used throughout the restaurant. For three of us, we shared the prime rib moco and malasada pancakes. The malasada pancakes are like no other, and it's a must try at this restaurant. It has the perfect malasada texture without feeling super heavy. The prime rib loco moco was a generous portion and paired well with the sweet malasada pancakes. Service here was friendly, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend Stonefish if you're looking for a good breakfast spot with something for everyone.

We give it a 2 star coz of the venue; nice place with very beachy ambiance being in North Shore…read more The staff are friendly and hospitable but not very attentive. We're seated at the corner and forgotten. Now, the food-DISAPPOINTING! We thought it would be authentic fish since the name stands for it! We ordered Chicken and Fish sandwiches. The plating was nice and looks appetizing but the chicken were chicken tenders or chicken stick and the fish was those ready made breaded fish from Costco (at least it looked like it). What made the good taste good was the sauce. So, I recommend if you're really hungry and you don't mind eating microwave dinner and the family needs to unload and relax coz the place is vibing and has a long bar for adults. I'm just disappointed with the food.

Same great garlic sauce on the shrimp but shrimp were smaller and not as succulent. Still good but…read morenot as good as before Still sweet garlicky buttery flavor. They give the same amount of rice. This time around, went on a Sunday in July; took over 45 min from ordering to getting the food. Difficult to get a seat. There's a sign that they didn't have the spice version available because they were short staff. However, they gave chili sauce. Finding a parking spot in the shared lot was quick; they still charge $2 to park.

I'm normally not the biggest fan of shrimp, so I don't usually gravitate towards it. But I wish I wasn't so stubborn because the few bites I had of both the Butter Garlic Shrimp and Spicy Garlic Shrimp completely changed my mind. Since I'm not the biggest spice person, I preferred the butter garlic option. The shrimps aren't peeled, but they're butterflied, which makes them much easier to peel. The shell itself is packed with flavor, though, so I recommend sucking it before removing. The rice was flavorful, and the salad on the side was refreshing. I simply regret not ordering a plate of shrimp for myself. I'm a lazy person and don't like peeling shrimp, but this was worth peeling for.

BACKGROUND ON JENNY'S SHRIMP:…read more Jenny's Shrimp Truck began as a small, family-run business with a simple mission: to serve the freshest, most flavorful shrimp on the North Shore. Jenny, the founder, was inspired by the rich seafood culture of Hawaii and wanted to share her love for local flavors with the community. Armed with a secret garlic butter recipe passed down through generations, she set out to create something truly special. In the early days, Jenny's food truck was nothing more than a converted van with a makeshift kitchen, parked along the scenic roads of Haleiwa. She focused on using locally sourced shrimp, ensuring that every plate was as fresh as possible. Word quickly spread about the delicious shrimp dishes, and soon, both locals and tourists were lining up to get a taste. JENNY'S SHRIMP TRUCK MISSION STATEMENT: A Taste of Hawaiian Paradise Nestled in the heart of Haleiwa, Hawaii, Jenny's Shrimp Truck is a must-visit destination for seafood lovers looking for a true taste. BACKGROUND ON VISIT: This was part of our Dole Plantation/Haleiwa tour that we signed up for. Lunch wasn't provided so this was on our own dime. CREDIT CARDS: They're accepted, but they tack on a transaction fee. RESTROOM: There's a restroom next door. AMBIANCE/DECOR: Not much ambiance, but they do have tables and chairs setup in their covered patio. SERVICE: Service was alright. Didn't take long for our food to come out. FOOD OF CHOICE: Garlic shrimp plate which came with rice and a slice of pineapple. Enjoyed the shrimp. It was quite tasty and easy to peel. I had a nice time eating the rice with their signature garlic sauce. SHRIMP TRUCK FOR THOUGHT: I would love to come back to have it again.

Really enjoyed the food here. We went before dinner service, so the menu was limited to appetizers,…read morebut honestly, that didn't bother us because everything we ordered was very, very good. The flavors felt much more elevated than I expected from a beachside restaurant. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared, and it genuinely felt like there was a real chef working in the kitchen rather than just standard bar food. The service was excellent and very attentive and the indoor-outdoor seating ambience with the ocean across the street was amazing. Even with the limited menu, I would happily come back to try the dinner offerings. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're in Haleiwa and looking for something a little more elevated.

Skip the poke here! I know, I know, those are fighting words in Hawaii and probably not the opening…read moreyou expected for a four-star review. And it's not to say that I didn't like the poke bowl I had at Beach House. (I mean, what's not to love about about digging into some fresh ahi when you're literally feet away from the beach?) It's just that I had the otherworldly experience of eating from Foodland's poke bar the night prior to my lunch here and I couldn't help comparing it to the legendary Foodland. That said, the poke was still delicious and its runner-up status didn't distract from the rest of my meal. The spicy ahi wonton was a standout starter -- the shallot, scallion, tobiko, and chili aioli approach they have for the ahi here works better for the fish than their "beach house special poke sauce" in my opinion. Top it all off with a plantation iced tea: an island version of the Arnold Palmer that replaces the customary lemonade with tropical pineapple juice. We came in around 2:30 pm so we essentially had the dining room to ourselves after the lunch rush, if you don't count the cute zebra dove bird that walked around below the table halfway into our meal, trying to see if there were any stray crumbs it could peck at. Alas, we had deemed the food too good.

I wanted scoops of fresh fish + rice + a couple Hawaiian classics like macaroni salad or whatever. After driving around for most of the morning, I was hungry, and Poke For The People was less than a three-minute walk from where we parked. I immediately walked in to place in order. The line was pretty short, and my poke bowl was assembled in less than a couple minutes. 2 CHOICE POKE SUSHI RICE - 20.95 + shoyu ahi and shoyu furikake salmon poke (+0.75) + two sides: edamame, seaweed salad + two toppings: fried garlic, furikake I felt like this was more of a Chipotle-style, fast-casual poke bowl than the kind of poke I had been hoping for. The fish itself was very fresh, but there just wasn't much of it, and the rice, sides, and sauces ended up overpowering it. It was a bit pricy, and I didn't eat more than half of the rice because there was just too much of it. If you're looking for more of a fast-casual poke spot with more room for customization, Poke For The People is a decent option. I was just hoping for something more fish-forward and closer to the simple poke + rice meal that I had in mind.
