    Spicy Garlic Shrimp
    Jessica G.

    Certainly much more decent wait if compared to the long-standing popular neighbor #IYKYK. My pick went to Jenny's as people said it's as tasty and even better if you preferred less greasy version and a hint of spicy kick. The dining space was super simple, long benches right next to the food truck but that kind of simplicity was what telling you that the foods were good as people solely came for them! Indeed super fresh chunky shrimps with flavorful garlic sauce.

    Spicy garlic plate! 100/10!!! I daydream about this plate at home!

    An absolute MUST whenever I visit the North Shore! I'd give them 6 stars if I could, lol! I daydream about their spicy garlic shrimp plate back home here in CA, lol! I told this to the lady at the register last time, and she chuckled. "I hope we live up to the standard you remember", she replied. They sure did! The shrimp is super garlicky, and the sauce is amazingly delicious! It also has the right amount of spice! And all of that garlicky goodness gets soaked up in the rice! It's almost an out of body experience, lol! Ono, brah!Hope to visit again sooner than later!

    Haven't eaten here in years. Same food truck but it got moved a little further down the street than the previous location. Got the spicy shrimp. Prices are higher than the last time I ate here and the amount of shrimp is less than other shrimp trucks for the same price. The flavor, however, was good and the spice was minimal.

    Jenny's Shrimp Truck was a fairly good experience overall. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and not overdone at all. Since this was my first time trying this type of food in Hawaii, I think my expectations were probably a little too high going in. While the shrimp itself had a great texture, the flavor wasn't as bold or flavorful as I expected. Honestly, the rice had more flavor because of the sauce that was poured on top, which ended up being my favorite part of the plate. It wasn't bad by any means, but I was hoping for a little more seasoning and flavor from the shrimp itself. One thing I did really like was that there was plenty of outdoor seating available, which made it nice to sit down and enjoy the food comfortably.

    I'm convinced this is the best shrimp truck on the island. I've tried Giovanni's and was sadly disappointed, but Jenny's is A1. There is minimal parking in a shared lot, otherwise you can find parking elsewhere and get your steps in. You order and pick up at the truck and there are plenty of tables to the side. I shared the garlic shrimp plate and wow the flavor and juiciness of the shrimp was incredible. Also, their garlic topped rice was perfect. Definitely a spot you shrimp lovers need to try.

    Spicy garlic shrimp plate was my favorite meal the whole trip. Just fire. Perfect balance and super flavorful. Definitely destroyed the plate. The wait wasn't long. Tons of flies and birds on the tables but who cares. It slaps.

    Haven't tried a lot of shrimp trucks in Hawaii but this one was definitely one of the good ones worth going to. I only say that because the butter sauce on the rice along with the jumbo buttered shrimps were so good I cleaned the entire plate. Plus the wait for the food only took about 10 minutes Cash and card are both accepted but there's a processing fee with cards. The shrimp truck was not hard to find but parking was tougher since it's in a small shared lot. Picnic tables available for dining there but make sure to watch out for birds and bees !

    Their portion is perfect for one person! It was my first time trying it out, and the cashier Quinn was very friendly and nice. I think I was the first customer of the day, since I went right when it opened at 09:30. It's a very casual place. I ate the garlic butter shrimp, and it was DELICIOUS!!

    Heading to North Shore, and not wanting to go the other popular shrimp place because of the recent Yelp reviews. Plus it's was like, eh been there, lets give someone else a try! We came here during a busy Monday afternoon, and of course it was still slow traffic heading north. And with that came the dreaded search for parking! But luckily, we found a spot meant for Jenny's and the little shops around it. Just keep in mind it's short term parking in this little lot. All I wanted was a plate of Butter Garlic Shrimp ($17) and daaaayum was it buttery garlicy good son! The shrimps were pretty average in size, but steamed up and sauteed in butter just right. I think the plate had about 8 shrimps, but I still shared a few. I think the butter garlic on the rice was the kicker! Just an excellent tasting combo! Next to Jenny's is a little patio table area. It's pretty much where everyone chilled at, especially if you're there supporting the local shops within the block. I'll just end with, after having Jenny's, we were all comfortably satisfied.

    The #1 butter garlic shrimp plate was a bit of a let down for me. I wish it were more garlicky or buttery. The portion of rice could have been a bit more generous too.

    We headed to Jenny's straight off the plane from LA. It's a food truck with some outdoor seating at picnic tables. We ordered at the window, and our food was ready quickly. We got: - Coconut shrimp -- lightly breaded and really good coconut flavor - Spicy garlic shrimp -- it was spicy - Spicy shrimp -- too spicy for me, so the boys ate it and I ordered a new plate - Garlic butter shrimp -- so good! Everything was served piping hot and the plates include a salad and two scoops of rice. Only downside is Pepsi products.

    Tried Jenny's Shrimp for the first time and WOW. I ordered the spicy garlic shrimp and I swear I could BATHE in that butter sauce. So freaking good. Perfect balance of garlicky, buttery, and spicy. Every bite was ridiculous! Even better, my food was ready in about 5 minutes after ordering, which was awesome because I was starving. It was $18 and honestly worth every penny. The parking lot is a little small and shared with other businesses in the area, and there's just a small dining section, so keep that in mind. But none of that matters once you taste the shrimp. Absolute must-try if you're in Haleiwa. I'll definitely be back.

    A must visit if you're traveling to North Shore and love garlic shrimp. Personally, I liked Jenny's more than Giovanni's (which I didn't realize they're like next to each other lol). We got the butter garlic shrimp and spicy shrimp. Both came with 2 scoops of rice, a side of salad, and a slice of pineapple. Really great butter and garlic flavors without being too greasy. Shrimps are decent size and plump, not too over cooked. The spicy shrimps were mild, not extremely spicy which I liked. I think each box was about ~$17. Very limited parking. We had to park a few blocks down. They do have table benches for you to eat but beware there are LOTS OF FLIES. Tbh it almost ruined our experience because we were trying to shoo the bugs 90% of the time. I recommend just taking your food to go lol. They do have a bathroom but you gotta ask for the key.

    Are all plates peel and eat or are the shells taken off before cooking?

    Peel it yourself, but it is sliced in the middle top for easier peeling

And since I arrived hours after sunset, so dark that none of the heavily promoted "views of the harbor, ocean, and postcard sunsets" could be visible, I can attest that the fresh food more than enough made up for it. The entrees on the menu are divided into two sections: "from the sea" and "from the land." And c'mon, you're in Hawaii, so you really should only be entertaining seafood. I stand firm on that even knowing that the prime rib is one of, if not the only, specialties here and that they run out if you get there too late in the night. I had the furikake crusted baked fish, which was exceptionally tender. The wasabi butter sauce complemented it perfectly and thankfully, the chefs were generous with how much they dolloped onto the plate so I was getting lost in the sauce. The restaurant's decor felt aged in a charming way. Which probably sounds like a backhanded compliment but it did feel on brand: unpretentious and relaxed, if reminiscent of a time pre-Y2K. The service was kind though fairly unmemorable, which makes sense as we were a large and fairly rambunctious dining party.
