A MUST VISIT! I'm writing this review as a repeat customer. I've tried Fumi's when they were in the North Shore and I've tried their food twice now at the Ala Moana location and it's delicious! I came this time because I really wanted to check out their Garlic Basil Chicken. If anyone has ever had TapEx Taiwanese style popcorn chicken in San Diego, then you will be very pleased with this dish. I love the balance of spice, texture, and smothering their delicious spicy garlic butter shrimp sauce on my rice. Check it out y'all! read more

Omg! My first time trying Fumi's and I'd say it's the best I've tried on the island! The shrimp has so much flavor and it was easy the peel! The rice was super soft and fluffy! No complaints. You get a small discount if you sign up for the rewards. The first time I tried, the person at the register was nice and got the order somewhat fast. The second time I went, the person at the register was super friendly and liked to converse. I thought she was cooking the food as well because it took a while to get my order. Located at the Ala Moana center so it's easier to get to and has seating! read more

Tried Kahuku Shrimp Company at Ala Moana as our first meal right after landing--honestly the perfect welcome to Hawaii. We've been to their original spot in Kahuku, so seeing it at the mall made us excited. Ordered the hot and spicy garlic shrimp and it came out hot, saucy, and super flavorful--garlic butter soaking into the rice, with that slight kick that makes you keep going back for another bite. Staff were friendly and service was smooth, which made it even better after a long flight. If you don't have a car to drive all the way up to the North Shore, this is honestly the next best thing. Same quality, same flavor--just way more convenient. And if you're staying in the Waikiki area, it's an easy trip to Ala Moana Center--you can Uber, take the bus, or even walk if you're up for it. read more

Inside makai foodcourt, the original butter garlic shrimp (shell on) was good but nothing special, came with shredded lettuce & white rice which was drenched with butter. $22 for a few shrimps seemed excessive. read more

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp - Original butter garlic shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

So excited I was finally able to try this place! I walked all over the mall to work up an appetite and ended my excursion here at the food court. The order of garlic shrimp took about 15 minutes and I enjoyed every bite. Worth all the hype, despite being a bit pricey! read more

We've had Fumi's up in the North Shore before, so we were excited to see a location inside the Ala Moana Mall food court. My husband decided to be adventurous and ordered the orange shrimp plate. Unfortunately, the sauce had a slightly artificial orange peel flavor. I appreciate that they're offering different varieties at the mall location, but it might be safer to stick with their original garlic shrimp. For some reason, the rice was also a bit mushy, which took away from the overall meal. Still, it's a nice option to have in the mall when you're looking for something quick and satisfying. read more

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp - orange shrimps - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Located in the makai food court on ground level of Ala Moana mall, Fumi's replaced the former Sing Ma Tei (which was devastating to find out.) so I really hope this place would be amazing. I'd say it's quite decent for garlic shrimp, but I still prefer other places a bit more. It might be a personal taste. I think the shrimp could be a bit more crunchy and the garlic sauce could have more minced garlic for some texture. It was decent but I wouldn't say amazing. The rice was also mushy. I mean that's also a big part of the dish. If the rice failed, the whole dish suffered. I still have yet to find something amazing from this food court honestly that I wanna go there just for that... read more

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp - Original garlic - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Oooh north shore shrimp in the Ala Moana Food Court! Wanted to try this place out since we haven't tried it in Kahuku, so was looking forward to getting some North Shore shrimp without driving there! Ordered the Garlic Butter Shrimp plate for $19.95. Came with 8 large shrimps, rice with garlic sauce, salad with Asian dressing, and a slice of pineapple. Service was fast. The garlic sauce was SO salty & just tasted like butter. Most of the shrimp except two were overcooked & rubbery. The shell was also hard to peel. The salad with Asian dressing was really good and refreshing. Pineapple slice was sweet. I hope they improve the cook on the shrimp and flavor of the sauce. I will give them another try in the future because I would love to have north shore shrimp so convenient to get! read more

Update: Tried this location again and this time, I got the peeled version! I didn't really look at the menu for the peeled version part but it does have an additional charge. If you're like me, you can just politely ask for the peeled version of any of the shrimp plates you prefer. Service was fast, this was during dinner time. The staff greeted me warmly. The food was delicious, garlicky and well-seasoned! They said it comes with a side salad but I didn't really had a salad with mine, just shredded cabbage I think (not a big deal since I don't really eat salad that much lol). The food court gets packed easily, but there are places at the mall where you can sit and eat. All in all, I really enjoyed it better than last time. read more

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp - Original story plate (peeled) - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is our 2nd time here! They're located in the Makai Market Food Court near Jamba Juice in the old SingMaTei location. We ordered the original garlic butter shrimp plate and their lilikoi lemon shrimp ala carte with the sauce on the side. Both are so so good! The lilikoi lemon shrimp comes cold so it's refreshing to eat! They provide gloves and wet wipes for you. If it's not on the counter, just ask them. Also, if you're not a fan of peeling shrimp, for a few dollars extra, you can pay shrimp that is already peeled. read more

They now have some cheaper options! Instead of getting the $20 shrimp plate (shrimp, rice, cabbage, and a fruit slice! you can get just shrimp w rice (same amount of shrimp, 8 pieces) for $16.95. you can mix and match 2 types of shrimp, Or you can just get shrimp only for $13.50. Yay for cheaper options. If you're a local ask for the Kamaaina discount for 10% off. You also pay less with cash than credit card. My favorites is garlic shrimp and spicy garlic shrimp. read more

One of the few good places to eat at Ala Moana food court. Butter garlic is solid, as is salt and pepper. Lilikoi lemon is interesting but served cold if that makes a difference. I like to get all cabbage no rice. Don't really need dressing as the shrimp juice is sufficient. Bring cash to avoid the extra charge and give them your phone number to rack up points read more

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I haven't ate at Fumi's in Kahuku for years, so I can't compare the two. I love garlic shrimp so I gave it a try. The location is easy to access being in the main Ala Moana food court, and the food came out pretty fast. The service was also good. I ordered the hot and spicy plate with salad and rice. Overall the plate was tasty if you cannot make the trip out to North Shore for the experience. Spicy shrimp: I usually don't think of the rice when I'm eating, but it was very mushy! Hopefully it was just an off day because that's a deal breaker. The shrimp itself had good flavor, although a tad overcooked. I enjoyed the spicy garlic sauce because it wasn't vinegary/sour like how Giovanni's is (which if you want to compare, Giovanni's is horrible all around in my opinion...Fumi's is much better). There was plenty of garlic and sauce on top of the shrimp and rice. The salad was shaved cabbage which I enjoyed. The pineapple was cut thin, but it was sweet. I think they can afford to cut it a little thicker...overall if you're craving garlic shrimp this will definitely do the job! read more

Fumi's! Usually such a far drive away, they now have a new location in the Ala moana food court. So convenient when you're craving garlic shrimp but don't want to drive to the other side of the island. Overall, the shrimp was okay. The meat was super stuck to the shell so it was difficult to eat. The garlic topping was also very salty. I did enjoy it, but it overall wasn't the greatest plate I've had. I would get it again, especially because of the convenience, but it's not my first choice if I don't mind driving. read more

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp - Store front in food court - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was here the day before they opened and they were offering samples. I tried a piece of the garlic butter and a piece of the lilikoi lemon. While they were different they were both tasty. I came back two weeks later and purchased their garlic butter shrimp plate $19.95. This time it was just ok. It wasn't garlicky enough for me. Majority of what I tasted was butter. I counted 8 pieces of shrimp. Usually shrimp places give 12. It came with two scoops of white rice and shredded cabbage. The Asian salad dressing that I chose for the cabbage was really good. I couldn't get enough of the dressing. This place is located at the Makai Market food court at Ala Moana where Sing Ma Tei used to be. read more

The Basil Garlic Chicken is to die for! Especially the Spicy Garlic Rice! It's a great combo! Off subject though, I work at Sonic in Kapolei now and a lot of yelp reviewers keep reading 2am when really the closing time at Sonic is 12am so I recommend to show up at 11pm if you don't want to wait a long time On subject, it was so nice to see my former colleagues at Fumi's! Try their food y'all! Found right next to Jamba Juice in the Makai Food Court at Ala Moana read more

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located at Makai Market Food Court, is the second location of Fumi's. Fumi's took the place of Singma Tei, near Jamba. This is a busy, noisy, air-conditioned food court on the street level of the mall. The convenient restroom is in the corner, by Sbarro (pizza). Now, you don't have to drive to the North Shore to get Fresh Garlic Shrimp! Yay! Service was efficient and very friendly! The cheerful gal explained to each customer that they're not selling any plates today... just giving out samples! We enjoyed the four free samples: orange, original garlic, spicy, and salt & pepper (which was a bit spicy for us). Thank you! We'll be back for a plate after this soft opening! The Soft Opening is tomorrow on 4.22.25! Update: I returned on Tuesday, 4.22.25, for the soft opening. Customers were warned that the wait for their order could be 30 to 45 minutes. I got the Original Garlic Shrimp Plate. I was asked if I wanted Asian or Ranch dressing... Asian, please! The Plate came with two slices of fresh pineapple, two scoops of white rice, eight plump Shrimps, and Shredded cabbage with dressing on the side! It was delicious and filling! Try it! Tips: Bring gloves to peel the shrimp. Otherwise, the restrooms are in the corner by Sbarro. Eat the rice with the Sautéed garlic!!! Enjoy! P. S. Service was very helpful - the cashier asked if I wanted a beverage... great idea! She said that the Hawaiian Soda is popular. I chose the Lilikoi Lychee flavor - it's refreshing! read more

Sample tasting today, 4/21/25, at Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp. Tomorrow will be the first day of selling its Kahuku Shrimp plates! Located in the Makai Food Court in the Ala Moana Center. According to the AMC website, "From the North Shore to Ala Moana -- the original Fumi's is bringing its iconic garlic shrimp to town. Credited with inventing the famous North Shore garlic shrimp, Fumi's has been serving locals and visitors for over 30 years with time-honored, family recipes and bold, unforgettable flavor." Owners Ben and ChiSato were at the location today 4/21/25. Gracious and personable, encouraging us to try the full sized shrimp samples. I was impressed that the samples were not cut up pieces of the Kahuku shrimp. Generous samples that are freshly made on premise. I was fortunate enough to try four different types of the Kahuku shrimp: Hot & Spicy, Orange, Salt & Pepper and Original Garlic Butter. In order of my preference is: #1 Original Garlic Butter- packed with garlic and flavor! Tender shrimp. Ono! #2 Orange-a sweet and sour type flavor. Very mild in taste, perfect for children and anyone who prefers non-spicy flavor. #3 Salt & Pepper- heavy on the seasoning. Tasty, but I would remove the shell first. Otherwise, a bit heavy on the salt and pepper. #4 Hot & Spicy- (Disclosure: I'm not a spicy flavor person), Not for the faint of heart. Look closely at the pictures. Generous amount of chili pepper flakes and garlic. Definitely, flavorful and packs a kick. Lots of rice will be needed ; ) Szechuan Mala and Liliko'i Lemon were not sampled at the time of our visit. Food: 4.5/5 stars Ambiance is Food Court vibe. Noisy and a lot of foot traffic. Counters are clean and menu boards are bright and readable for someone who usually squints at menu boards! Food court Ambiance: 4/5 stars Servers are friendly and informative. 5/5 stars. See menu picture for current pricing. Bathrooms are available in the food court. Ample free mall parking. Rounded up to Five stars. Great new location! Wish them the best! read more

Great spot to try some North Shore style shrimp / garlic shrimp! We were hanging out at the Ala Moana mall on our first day and we stopped here to try some shrimp. We got the original garlic butter shrimp but we did sample other flavors including sale&pepper and sweet chili. Those were excellent as well! The dish comes nice and hot with two scoops of rice, salad, and of course the shrimp. They also offer gloves to help you peel the shrimp which was a great addition. The garlic shrimp was so good - so savoury, garlicky, and butter. The shrimp was a great size too - nice and plump, with a perfect tenderness. The price was kinda high for a shrimp plate - clocking in about $20 for a plate. You could definitely get the more affordable options with just getting rice and shrimp, or getting just the shrimp. Service was quick and speedy - you could order with the cashier or on the kiosk next to them. read more

Business is located in Makai Food Court in former Sing Ma Tei. Tables with chairs were shared by many eateries in food court. I had to try this place because it was on IG feed from influencers who had recommended it. Menu had 6 choices of shrimp and drinks. My order was original which took about 10 minutes. My plate included rice, tossed salad, and a small piece of pineapple. Shrimp had shell which needed to be taken off. read more

Was excited to try this place since the one on Northshore was one of my regular go to spots on that side of Northshore. The flavor is on point and the shrimp is good, however, the shrimp was a bit overcooked as the meat was sticking to the shells. Also the rice was way over cooked with too much water. It was practically a solid mound of rice. You would think that if all they served was shrimp and rice all day everyday, that they would have it down to a science. My visit here would be a 3.5 star based on overcooked shrimp and too much water in the rice. If they had that right, then it would be a solid 4 star place. It is definitely a place to get my shrimp fix without having to drive an hour to the Northshore. Also, the mix and match option with rice only is a bit deceiving. It is on the shrimp that is sitting in the warm box, not freshly made to order. I could care less about the shredded cabbage and orange wedge that cost $3 more in the regular plate. I broke my fork in two spots trying to eat this meal because of the poorly cooked rice and shrimp. read more

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp - Need better forks - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Was excited they opened the location in town. I was at the mall so I decided to try it. It's located within the Makai market. I got a garlic and the hot and spicy shrimp plate. The taste was the same as their Kahuku location. I was highly disappointed that instead of serving green salad with Romaine lettuce like their Kahuku location, they just served a small amount of cabbage. Not a "salad." Also, instead of an average slice of pineapple, I got two slivers of pineapple. Prices are similar to the kahuku location as well but seems like the sides need work here. read more

I've always drove past the stand when driving around the island and never got a chance to stop by. But now it's closer to home instead of driving to the other side of the island. There's a new location recently opened in the Ala Moana's food court. We were super hungry and happened to be at the mall standing right in front of Fumi's. Limited menu offering for the soft opening, but that's okay, original garlic butter shrimp plate (rice, shrimps and "salad") is all I wanted to try. Choice of ranch or asian salad dressing. If using cc payment, its a little more for the cc surcharge so about $22. I was surprised when I saw the "salad". I was expecting greens but it was just shredded cabbage. The picture on the menu showed greens but everyone's interpretation of "salad" is different. Hmm...not sure if it's because I was really hungry and waiting more than 10 minutes felt longer than it really was and taking the first bite was not what I was expecting. Perhaps I need to try it again some other time. read more

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp - Original garlic butter with Asian salad dressing for shredded cabbage and 2 pieces of pineapples - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The best place to eat hands down in the Ala Moana food court. No need to head to the north shore and still tasty here. Ordered the original garlic shrimp and it was made to order after a short wait. The shrimp was steaming, hot, garlicky, and the rice was covered in buttery garlic flavor. The shrimps were a pretty big size and the plate could have probably fed two people. The cabbage salad was ok but the real highlight was the shrimp, which delivered. read more

Located in Ala Moana food court next to Jamba Juice. It's a take out counter and you find an empty table to eat at. Ordered the original garlic shrimp plate. 2 scoops rice, shredded cabbage for a salad with choice of dressing, and 8 shrimps. Total after tax is $22ish. There's a $2 up charge for extra garlic. Service and food were good however I was still thinking about Giovanni's shrimp truck. Grateful yet don't know if I'd return. read more

Tried their hot & spicy plate today. Came with 2 scoops rice, 10 shrimps (cooked well, not stuck to the shell), thinly shredded cabbage salad, and a small pineapple wedge for $19.95. Unfortunately it wasnt like I remembered at all, nor like the other north shore shrimp places. I expected spicy buttery garlic sauce, but instead it was salty (maybe shoyu?), with a hint of garlic. There was no lingering garlic aftertaste to ward off vampires. But salty so you had to eat all the rice and salad, but didnt need any salad dressing. The hot and spicy was not spicy at all. It tasted like how we'd add pepper flakes to pizza--just a slight kick. Also it took 20 minutes for 1 plate; plates came out very slowly--I know it doesn't take 20 minutes to cook 10 shrimp so I dont know why each order took that long (all orders before me were mainly 1 plate, a couple were 2 plates). Orders did not come out one after another--there were long wait times between orders. Id like to say that I'll be back to try the original garlic butter, just to see if it has the garlic butter Im expecting, but not sure I want to wait, especially for $19.95 plate (plus 3.6ish% service charge for credit card). Edit--i just read on another review that there might be kamaaina discount if you ask.... read more

Love the shrimp. Hope the will expand menu a little at add more choices, like shrimp curry bowl, etc.

I'm so glad I don't have to drive out to north shore anymore! But it's still worth the drive if you're out that side. I love the spicy shrimp!! So flavorful, perfect balance of garlic and spicy. My hubby had the coconut shrimp and it was sweet! I'm not usually a coconut fan so I was a little skeptical, but I would definitely order that too. The orange is a perfect palate cleanser at the end.
