    Spicy poke bowl
    Victoria R.

    Topped off my North Shore visit this past Sunday with a stop at Haleiwa Seafood. The spicy poke was fresh and tasty, made sure to add hot sauce to make it even spicier. Ample seating, easy parking, nice staff. Food came out real quick.

    Fish and chips decent but will order different next time
    Ramiro H.

    Pretty reasonable prices considering it's in the middle of a tourist heavy area. That whole area is good to just wander around and explore and the menu had cheeseburgers which really helps with my picky ass sons that don't like to try adult food. Portions are decent but the flavor is what sets their food apart. They have 5 bench tables with shading so you might end up baking in the sun. We got lucky and people were leaving as we arrived and the pace was pretty even so nobody had to eat in the sun. They take a little while to make the order but they're working with limited space so it's understandable. Overall food is bomb and a great value

    Fresh mahi, good breading, and inexpensive prices set up my fish and chips for success, but tartar sauce and ketchup packets were a big letdown. Surrounded by sitdown places and other food trucks, Haleiwa came recommended by my tour bus driver. I did get the sense that I was on island time when I ordered, but thankfully the food came quickly. The fresh mahi mahi (and salad) saved the dish. I was not about the Old-Bay-seasoned fries, and having my condiments come in packets was really disappointing. On the other hand, it was just $15.

    Been coming here every weekend for years and they never disappoint, never met anyone that didn't like the food. If you want your food instantly after you order go to McDonalds... food is made fresh to every order here and the wait is always worth it! It is a food truck after all not a full scale restaurant kitchen. AHI KATSU is the go to and it always kills, huge serving size as well! 5 stars is the max it lets me give for this place but it doesn't begin to express the memories and good experiences I've had here!

    YUM One of my favorite dinners we had during our vacation! Food truck with benches to sit outside. Food came out pretty quick and service was very easy. Food was so delicious I highly recommend!

    We walked right up to this food truck for dinner with no wait on a rainy day, and it was worth it! First, they have plenty of good options to choose from when it comes to seafood, but their reputation as one of the best food trucks in town isn't in vain based on the two half-portion grilled mahi plates that we ordered. (We love that they offer half-portions so that you can enjoy a meal when you don't want something huge.) Although they were reduced-size portions, they offered plenty of food, and the fish was incredibly fresh and delicious. Even the rice was awesome. Second, they are open late, which is a plus! Service was friendly, and the food came out reasonably quickly--as quickly as you'd want it to come out if it's being made well. We took ours to go due to the intermittent rain, but there are a few outdoor tables if you want to sit and eat there. The parking out front is for customers, so don't be afraid to park there. From a distance, the signs look like they are prohibiting you from parking there, but that's not the case once you get close enough to read them. :) Definitely give this place a try if you want fresh seafood while in town!

    Looking for a quick stop to get ono seafood before your beach trip to Haleiwa? Look no more, go to Haleiwa Seafood. The food is so fresh and reasonably priced for the portion sizes you get. I ordered a Seafood Platter, subbed the Coconut Shrimp with Beer Batter Shrimp and an order of Shrimp Tacos. Hands down the best seafood we've had on island to date! From a small food truck on the side of the road, the flavor and freshness really surprised me! The service was average and straightforward. No funny stuff, straight to business. There are several food trucks in this same area along with a general store and a stall selling seashells and home decor. Whether you're taking to-go or sitting down for a while to stretch your legs, come try. It won't disappoint!

    It was good and fresh. Not a lot of food for the price, but overall I was content with it. The truck is located behind several picnic tables and next to other food trucks. Good location, descent food and we did some shopping afterwards.

    When in town you have to try their pulled pork! Amazing and can't wait to come back. The food truck is near little cute shops. Across from them is Patagonia. We got our food pretty fast as it wasn't as crowded. They also have a couple benches you can sit at.

    The Seafood truck
    Hamid K.

    Hands down one of the best seafood meals I've ever had! I ordered the combo with mahi and beer-battered crispy shrimp, and asked if they could substitute the fried fish for grilled instead. They were happy to accommodate, and the fish came out grilled to perfection--charred just right on the outside and juicy in the middle. The plate also came with their homemade chili and aioli sauce, which was absolutely amazing--creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor. Even the side salad of mixed greens was fresh and a nice balance to the seafood. I prefer more items on the salad like tomatoes, cucumber or shredded carrots. The service was just as good as the food. The front desk lady who took my order was communicative, attentive, and had such a great attitude. She even checked with the chef to make sure my substitution was possible. There are a few chairs and tables set up in front of the food truck where you can sit and enjoy your meal, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're in Oahu and would like to try some quality seafood!

    Loved this place! The staff were super nice and got us our smoothie out first. They have plenty of picnic tables to sit at and the rest of the food came quickly and was delicious.

    Fish tacos & fish & Chips
    Kanani V.

    Service was great! The woman taking our order was kind & awesome. Thanks for complimenting my shirt! The service was fast & the food was fresh. Both plates were a 10/10. The tacos were my favorite!! It was so flavorful ! A must try! They have a handful of picnic tables & umbrellas! The shade was real cool! Definitely beat the heat! I'm definitely coming back!

    Coconut shrimp
    Laura P.

    Ordered the coconut shrimp, and it was okay. I wish it had more flavor or seasoning on it. It kinda tasted greasy with no "pop" of flavor. Shrimp and size was great, but needed more flavor. Fries and salad were good though.

    Fish and shrimp taco were way oversalted. Chicken karaage was the best dish. Calamari was a bit chewy.

This Korean-inspired truck has more to offer than its competitors, not only because the menu is bigger, but also because there is zero wait and the shrimp is just as good. The service was relatively quick, and the woman working the truck was very nice. We ordered the galbi shrimp plate, and the galbi was pretty spot on. It wasn't as tender as we would've liked, but the flavor was definitely there. The shrimp was on the spicier side, but again, the flavor really came through. It is a bit of a nuisance to have to peel your own shrimp, but they were soft enough that you could still eat them pretty easily if you didn't feel like it. Seating is also nice since Hono's has its own area away from Giovanni's.

My family has been visiting lots of garlic shrimp trucks to see who really makes the best shrimp. Big wave is definitely one of my new favorites. The garlic shrimp seemed like it had very light breading which made it easier to sometimes eat the shell if you're too lazy. There was a lot of garlic and a lot of butter so there was a lot of flavor! The plate comes with rice, salad, and a slice of pineapple. (Jenny's across the street also comes with salad and pineapple.) I like how these two spots give you more than just rice and garlic shrimp. Can't wait to come back next year!

I also tried the short ribs -- and wow -- they were so flavorful and tender. I highly recommend visiting this truck.

Just good food, made with real hands and real care. I ordered the Mushroom Burger, and it honestly changed the game for me. The patty was juicy and seasoned just right, layered with sautéed mushrooms that added this deep, earthy flavor -- like comfort cooked slow. The melted cheese pulled everything together in perfect balance, and the toasted bun held its own without ever getting in the way. Every bite was messy in the best way -- the kind you have to close your eyes for and just feel. The vibe here? Pure aloha. You walk in and feel like you've been here before -- like this is where everyone goes when they just need a good meal and a moment to breathe. The staff are chill, friendly, and full of that easy local kindness that can't be faked.
