After a few missed attempts, we were finally in the area on a Saturday they were open. The business takes cash or venmo only. The katsu was a thick slab, crispy and smothered in kabayaki and mayo. The mini + poke was enough to keep me full until a late dinner. Great prices too! Can't beat this spot if you're craving fresh fish.

Completely worth the drive to Waialua!…read more This is one of the best ahi katsu plates you will find on island! Well worth the price for the amazing fresh fish! Perfectly fried and not dried out with the perfect amount of spicy and unagi sauce every single time! This is one place it's worth driving in the mud for. Lol If you haven't been, it's a must try! Follow their IG to find out when they're open or you'll miss it!

Stopped by Jenny's Shrimp Truck while exploring the North Shore and tried both the Garlic Shrimp…read moreand Spicy Garlic Shrimp plates. After having Giovanni's before, I honestly enjoyed Jenny's more. The shrimp were plump, fresh, and cooked just right. The Garlic Shrimp had a rich buttery garlic flavor that wasn't overly greasy, while the Spicy Garlic Shrimp added a nice kick without overpowering the taste of the shrimp. Both plates came with plenty of sauce that paired perfectly with the rice. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. The portions were generous and filling, making it a great stop for lunch. The seating area is pretty basic and can get crowded during busy times. That said, the shrimp were delicious, and I'd choose Jenny's over Giovanni's if I'm craving garlic shrimp on the North Shore again.

Thank you Surf N Salsa team for for being here. Today, I'm trying something new! I am trying the guava and cheese empanada and the carne asada plate. It looks promising! I am soooo exciting to dig in. I loved the hospitality the guy at the counter showed us as he took our order and cashed us out. Flavor of the food is review pending. These photos don't do the place justice. Please visit and support local!

We were planning to drive all the way up to the North Shore location, but with the lane closures…read moreand extra travel time, we decided to stop at this Giovanni's Shrimp Truck instead. I'm glad we did! The food was every bit as good as the famous North Shore location--hot, fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The shrimp was outstanding, and the mac salad was cold, creamy, and exactly what you want alongside a great plate lunch. Everything came out quickly and tasted fantastic. What really stood out was the friendlier service and smaller crowds. It made for a much more relaxed experience, and we didn't feel rushed at all. Another bonus is the surrounding area. There are several other local food trucks nearby offering everything from fresh fruit and smoothies to delicious desserts. After lunch, take a short stroll through town and be sure to stop by Matsumoto's for some legendary shave ice. Trust me--you'll have room for it! If you're looking for the Giovanni's experience without the long drive and heavy crowds, this location is a winner. Great food, great service, and plenty of local businesses to support. You can't go wrong with Giovanni's. Come hungry, support local, and enjoy the aloha spirit that makes the North Shore so special!

Amazingly hard working woman who runs everything herself. She has been open almost every single day…read morefor years. She also does her best to protect wildlife at the beach, so NO, she's not a jerk, she's just sick of dumb people not properly transporting their dogs. It's an extremely common issue as transplants and even locals will ignorantly walk their dogs without a leash. She's not psychotic, people just don't like to be called out for stupid behavior.

There absolutely are, and my dog was in a carrier until I had to set him down next to me to get out money to give to her, but her reaction was beyond crazy, as the chickens and cats roaming around her hut were double his size. Smoothies are a sweet treat there, and I buy them often, but don't like being verbally assaulted by a psychotic.

Really nice beach on the North Shore that is snorkel and family-friendly. The waters were pretty…read morecalm during our visit and you can see down to the bottom of the sea. The white sand is actually tiny pebbles, which kinda feel like they give your feet a shiatsu massage. We did also walk up the road past the Foodland to the "food truck city" where we had some good tacos from North Shore Taco truck. Hubby also got a shave ice. Prices weren't cheap but competitive for the region. The parking can be scarce and you may have to hang out in your car lying in wait for someone to leave. And people who come to the car are usually NOT in a rush to leave the spaces. The bathrooms were aight for being a beach bathroom. Not great but it will do. Wasn't too smelly or gross when I was there.

Beautiful beach with great food near by. Highly recommend stopping here for a day of snorkeling.read more
