The hype is REAL. We had been trying to come here for the past three years, but between the early…read moreclosing time and things selling out fast, we somehow missed it every single trip. This year, we were determined to make it early enough to finally try the Bald Guy, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The food was honestly divine. We tried the pan-fried poke, kalbi beef, furikake crusted salmon, chopped steak, and spam musubi, and every single thing was incredible. It was so good that we ended up eating here twice during our trip. Also, special shoutout to the mac and cheese because WOW... it is ridiculously good. My personal favorites were the poke, chopped steak, and kalbi beef, but truly everything we ordered was amazing. The staff was also super kind and helpful with all our questions. Just a heads up, they do sell out of certain items before closing, so definitely try to get there earlier rather than later. Cannot wait to come back!

We got here at the start of lunch just after 11am. I don't think you can go wrong with Da Bald Guy…read moreanything. I was here before and had the kalbi beef. This time I wanted to try the garlic shrimp bc I've only heard good things. My niece and her boyfriend were visiting and I wanted them to experience this food truck. They ordered a combo plate with the garlic shrimp and steak. The food was delicious. They actually rated it the best meal that had while they were on the island. That should tell ya something. The shrimp were big and cooked perfectly. Seasoned to perfection. Just the right amount of garlic and the extra sauce made for the best rice. I was happy with the quantity of shrimp too. Definitely a worth it meal in my book. I also got a teriyaki spam musubi to try. Also good. I like how they wrapped it. Just a slight variation from the ones I typically eat. Will definitely be back. I still want to try the salmon. We got in line just at the right time bc when we turned to sit down after ordering there was a long line that had formed behind us. Our food got done quickly and we sat down at the picnic tables to enjoy it. It was busy so we shared a picnic table with another family. Hopefully you don't mind doing that bc space is often limited.

We stopped in and seemed to arrive right as they opened. We were warmly greeted and ordered the Shrimp Scampi. The food arrived quickly and we dug in. The shrimp are a very good size and plentiful. There is a ton of butter and garlic and we enjoyed the flavor. The sticky rice was a very nice addition and the overall plate felt appropriate to the price point. The seating area was very welcome and nice. We did see some tours start to arrive just after we got our food so I do imagine they get very crowded later in the day. I think this is a great stop if you are on the North Shore.

Indeed super fresh chunky shrimps with flavorful garlic sauce.

Once spots started opening up, we paid the $2 parking fee and joined the lines. Heads up, the long line on the right is usually for pickup, while the shorter line on the left is for ordering. We went with the famous Shrimp Scampi along with a side of mac salad. Shrimp Scampi (4/5): Easily lived up to the hype. The shrimp were juicy and easy to peel, and each bite was loaded with buttery lemon flavor and tons of crispy garlic. The rice soaked up the sauce really well, though there was honestly so much butter and oil leftover afterward that it pooled at the bottom of the plate. Still incredibly flavorful overall. Mac Salad (4/5): Creamy without feeling too heavy and generously portioned. A solid side that balanced out the richness of the shrimp. Bathrooms are located upstairs near the gift shop, and there's also a washing sink near the exit, which definitely comes in handy after peeling shrimp. Overall, a fun and iconic North Shore stop that absolutely feels worth trying at least once. Glad we checked it out to see if it lived up to the hype.

Theres a few benches infront, but not enough for the amount that come just for Giovannis. Parking is paid but can get full so you might have to park elsewhere and walk. Ordered the garlic butter shrimp (~$17). Super flavorful and buttery shrimp. It's slit at the vein, making it a little easier to peel and eat. Rice could be drier for me. It was a little too mushy, but it did a really good job soaking up the sauce. Fair warning- the Flys in the area make eating a slight challenge.

The parking was easy, and it was cool to watch the chickens being made right there -- adds a fun, fresh touch to the experience.

We ordered the spicy shrimp and added extra spicy sauce on the side. There was a bit of a wait, but we weren't in a rush so it didn't bother us. We brought our food over to Kahuku Beer Garden, and it was definitely worth it. The shrimp was flavorful, saucy, and had a really nice kick without being overwhelming. It was so good that we got curious about the butter garlic shrimp and ended up going back the same day to grab another plate to take home. The butter garlic shrimp was just as good--rich, garlicky, and super satisfying. Overall, the shrimp tasted fresh, portions were solid, and both flavors delivered. Definitely worth a stop if you're heading toward Kahuku or planning on circling around the island. * didn't get to take a picture of the butter garlic shrimp plate
