    Show stopper.

    When rolling to the east side for views make sure you get a pit stop at Aloha Shrimp truck. Stopped in at Aloha just before 11am on a Monday and was blessed that nobody was there. Ordered up a shrimp fried rice and a 10 piece garlic shrimp order. Bubba Gump himself would be speechless after tasting these perfect pieces of shrimp Yelpstars! Unreal tasty food fresh to order. I'll be back. 5 stars.

    As we made our way around the island, I had to try to find my old Yelp review so I could remember the name of my favorite shrimp truck! Found the location before I found the review. Still as good as I remember (although owners looked tired and a little grumpy). Could drink that spicy garlic sauce!

    My family and I were staying at an Airbnb down the road. I really wanted some shrimp and found this spot on Yelp. Our very large group ordered a variety of items. The spicy shrimp was the biggest hit. The spice was perfect and I enjoyed every bite of my meal. The truck is on the side of a store and has open seating on picnic benches. The folks working were friendly and provided great service for our large group. The food came out fresh and in a timely manner. I highly recommend a stop here and I wish I had time to go back for more.

    Lemon butter shrimp only I'm guessing around 14$

    Well the stars don't lie. Thats it. I have nothing to add other than glad we found our way up this way during our first exploratory day in the rental car on Oahu. Worth it.

    Best spots around the island are those little stops along the highway. Usually next to a store or market. This is cash only and they have lots of different shrimp. I picky about my shrimp and usually don't like the peel and eat shrimp which has lots of flavor on the shell and nothing on the shrimp. So I ended up getting the coconut shrimp and my hubby got tempura shrimp. Lots of shrimp, cooked well and served with rice and corn. Lots of seating and lots of roadside chickens running around. Friendly, quick, flavorful !

    Away from the big crowds of the Kahuku shrimp trucks is Aloha Shrimp in Hauula. It's easy to miss so keep an eye out for the blue building and food truck. There's a nice big open grassy space with shaded picnic tables to enjoy your food at. There's a few other food trucks in the area that share this eating area. They even have a little hand washing station, along with trash and recycling bins that were very well maintained. The ambiance is really chill and you may even see their resident family of chickens. We ordered the classic garlic shrimp and the spicy garlic lemon shrimp. Each plate comes with corn, a slice of pineapple, and rice with that sauce all over. Usually, if there are two versions of a dish- I usually like the spicy version better. Comparing the normal garlic butter with the spicy is so difficult because of how good the garlic butter is on it's own. The spicy has a bit of a vinegar tangy spice with a nice medium - high heat. My friend really loved the spicy one, so I ended up eating more of the regular garlic shrimp. Once you place your order, you'll get a beeper that goes off when your food is ready. For two plates, it took around 10-15 minutes. Service is very friendly and you can tell that the people here put a lot of care into their food.

    Consistency! Aloha climbed its way to the top of my list. Ran by a super hard working humble family. First to open and last to close. Super fresh shrimp. Killer sauce #5. Wish they had a Mac salad vs the canned corn. Off the menu: #5 over noodles. (Pictured) #5 sauce with the cutlet The little engine that could. Keep it up guys! Thank you for feeding me through the years and the smiles. Mahalo.

    My favorite shrimp spot on the island! It's about a an hour drive for me, but always worth it. I usually stop by on my way to the North Shore. The coconut shrimp is great, but the spicy garlic lemon shrimp is unmatched. The owners are super sweet and the food comes out fast every time. Highly recommend!

    This use to be my favorite shrimp truck but this most recent trip here has left me slightly disappointed. They got the sauce down and it is impeccable. The spiciness is not overbearing and it is the perfect richness from the butter. The shrimp, however, was kind of mushy this time. Previously, the shrimps were plump and not mushy so maybe I came on an off day. Overall great shrimp truck to check out with an abundance of parking. Plenty of seating for dining. The workers here are always nice and are quick to pump out the food.

    I was recommended to try Garlic shrimp by a lot of people on our trip to Oahu,Hawaii . I must say it's one of the most delicious food I ever had. Aloha shrimp came up on our search while traveling from Waikiki to North shore and we thought of giving it a try . It a food truck basically . The prices were reasonable and the service was quick . They greeted us with nice smile and they have a nice seating area where you can sit and enjoy your food. There are also some others fruit stands and trucks nearby ( I saw a Thai food truck right next to it ) . So you have many options in the same place if you wanna try something else however I recommend trying the garlic shrimp from Aloha Shrimp truck .

    Single food truck off the side of the road on the eastern side of the island. Super unassuming but you'll see signs and their light blue truck if you follow the GPS. There are some unmarked places to park once you turn off the road -- you'll see some cars there already so you can park next to them. The Chinese couple who run this truck are so sweet. We ordered the #1 Garlic Shrimp and sat down at one of the 8 picnic tables they have outside their truck. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and drowning in butter + garlic. The rice soaked up the sauce on the shrimp, and the corn + pineapple sides were nice additions, albeit small (just one piece of sliced pineapple?). I'd come back again but I'd also be interested in trying one of the many other garlic shrimp plates in the North Shore to see how this stacks up.

    YES. YES. YES. Ma and Pa truck, sweet people, AMAZING food. And nature as ambience... what a dream. I love Aloha Shrimp. Everything I thought it'd be; even my daughter ate the skin of the shrimp!! No evidence left on the plate!

    Another really tasty shrimp truck! We came here after the Kualoa Ranch Tour and were excited to find they had garlic shrimp and spicy shrimp again. The spicy shrimp was really good, the sauce was divine. It came with rice, a slice of pineapple, and corn. I do prefer Jenny's shrimp truck more but the owner here was very sweet and there was a generous about of shrimp. There was also ample seating for us. Note: the forks do break very easily so try to be more gentle when you use them!

All calls made to their number from a cell phone will fail to connect. You MUST call using a land line phone (those things plugged in the wall with physical buttons to press). BUT... 2. They do not answer their phone if they are busy helping customers. Good luck. SO... 3. Go early and order in person. Popular items like the roast pork and hamburger steak sell out by 10am. Others like the kalbi and pulehu shrot ribs by 11:30. 4. Be patient. The wait time is 45min - 1hr. It is accurate. Use the time to grab poke and drinks in neighboring Laie or Kahuku. It's all worth it. Same loaded plates. Same nostalgic taste. Same aloha delivered with a smile. One last time.

Their Kalua Pork is all the things--salty, smoky, juicy, tender, shredded meaty goodness. Their Squid Luau is perfect--the right balance of savory, mildly coconutty, melty luau leaves with bits of chewy squid. The Lomi Salmon has a nice bite from the red and green onions, the freshness from the tomatoes, and that briny saltiness. The Mac-Potato Salad was creamy and chunky, with a little bit of carrot and onion for freshness. The Lau Lau was loving assembled. Each foil packet was lined with a small piece of Ti leaf for flavor. The inside of the Lau Lau contained a piece of sweet potato, a chuck of salted pork, and a small piece of fat to keep everything succulent. More places should put sweet potatoes in their Lau Lau--I'm a fan. The catering buffet also had Chicken Long Rice which looked great with thick rice noodles and lots of chicken and green onions, but I skipped it because I didn't want to pour soup on my plate. I also skipped the white rice and fresh green salad. Another reason to seek out the Fat Poi truck is they do poke bowls and you can get combos to try more things.
