It's located at the Waikiki food Hall on the third floor of the Royal Hawaiian center. It is a bit hard to find but worth it for this plate. Christine, was such a doll. She was very welcoming and gave us a rundown of what each spot offered. She sold us on the Five Star shrimp because of the local beef and the spicy garlic shrimp plate. We actually shared a plate which was perfect. We also got our drink orders from her. She is great. We had such an amazing experience here as it was the first place we stopped as soon as we landed. read more

Reasonably priced especially for the location and for the amount of food you get. I ordered the butter garlic shrimp plate, it had two scoops of rice, plump freshly cooked to order shrimp, salad, and pineapple with li hing. It was all delicious. Better than some top shrimp trucks in the north shore. I did add a touch of salt and it was delicious. For the price, made to order, and plump shrimp I'd definitely come back. The cook was talking in her AirPods and prepping food, if I didn't get her attention, not sure how long it would've taken her to notice my order came in. You do have to order at the bar. Aside from this I'd still come back, the cook was nice and friendly. Very relaxed space away from the crazy crowd of the food court and a full bar. read more

Located in the Waikiki Food Hall in the Royal Hawaiian Center. It's never busy here as the location is somewhat hidden on the third floor of building C, Cheesecake Factory side. There are five eateries and one bar in this food court. I was craving surf and turf so got steak and garlic shrimp. I asked for med rare for my steak and it was cooked to the right temperature. Shell of the shrimp was butterflied so came off easily. Craving satisfied! read more

It's an absolutely NOT for me! The food is as freshly prepared and served piping hot. However, the garlic shrimp were prepared in the soupy white sauce. It was definitely not what I was expecting read more

It's a no for me. Waited 25 minutes to receive my steak over cooked and flavorless along with my "garlic" shrimp. Both flavorless. Overcooked and definitely not worth the wait. read more

Booth in the Waikiki Food Hall at the Waikiki Shopping Plaza serving simple shrimp meals. Ended up eating here because my mom was craving shrimp and the food looked gas. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. When your food's ready, you grab it at the front. I got the Butter Shrimp plate, which came with two scoops of white rice, shrimp covered in butter, a tiny side salad (more like some greens covered in mayo), pineapple, and lemon. The flavors were simple but tasty; I especially enjoyed rubbing my rice in the butter. You have to peel the skin and tails off the shrimp, which I unfortunately didn't realize until after I ate a few of them. Speaking of, the shrimp were firm and juicy. Although, I wasn't getting a super strong lemon flavor, the shrimp was still solid. If you're looking for a meal that's on the lighter side, you should consider checking out Five Star Shrimp. read more

Five Star Shrimp is the perfect name for this establishment! Five Stars were well deserved! We came on a Thursday night, and got to snag the Thursday night $9 Garlic Shrimp deal (it's usually $18)! We also ordered the Spicy Shrimp in the Pineapple Boat. Both the Garlic and Spicy Shrimp were cooked & seasoned so well, and we found that having both the Spicy and Garlic flavors complemented each other. Loved the Pineapple Boat, specifically! The pineapple was super sweet - we found ourselves scraping ever piece of the pineapple boat down to the last bite. They are super generous with their servings of shrimp. With our order, there was plenty of shrimp to share between two people. Quick service & super fun vibes here, with a short walk from the beach and other shops. read more

I love the shrimp plate and shrimp musubi. I can honestly say it's the best on the island. The shrimp plate is better than the north shore ones. I'm born and raised here and had every shrimp plate on the island you can think of and this one is the best! Five start is the truth. Thank you for quality food. read more

Shrimp was frozen and the steak was so chewy that I had to spit it into my plate. It's definitely not anything like Giovanni's because they use prawns and 5 Star uses frozen shrimp. We also came here for the $9 Thursday special and when asking about it the cashier rudely told me they don't do that anymore. No apology or explanation. I guess they can advertise something, and not honor it. The places seems shady in general, and the woman in front of me was complaining about the same things. Save your time and money and eat somewhere else. read more

We love the Waikiki Food Hall, and Five Star Shrimp was the first place we tried when we discovered WFH. The garlic shrimp was so good (perfectly cooked, lovely garlic flavor but not too much), and it came with a nice fresh salad, rice with furikake and some cut pineapple with ling hing mui (Yum!) sprinkled on top. We enjoyed our meal so much, and especially because it was the Thursday special (we are on a budget). It was nicely filling, and completely enjoyable - so much that I went over to Five Star Shrimp to let them know how good it was. Love! read more

I don't know why I didn't try this shrimp ramen before, but I finally tried it today & wow it was so good & flavorful! I added lemon & butter as additional topping, the fresh sourness of lemon & caper match the clear broth, slow roasted garlic adds extra depth, shrimps were perfect, yum! read more

If you have a chance to travel to the North Shore, do not waste your money to eat here. They used frozen bag packages of shrimp that you can buy from Vons or Costco. The garlic flavor was okay and no surprised. My husband didn't like it at all and thought all the garlic shrimp would taste similar to it. When we went to North Shore the next day, he did not even want to try garlic shrimp anymore. Until I forced him to eat it and he was surprised the garlic shrimp from North Shore food truck tasted much better. However, if you have time limited and couldn't drive far away, go on Thursday to get their special price $9. It is very good value for a good portion. read more

We stumbled upon this place in a small food hall tucked in the corner. The menu looked promising but the food was meh. We got the steak and garlic shrimp plate. Even though we asked for medium on the steak, it was almost well done. The shrimp tasted like it was still frozen when thrown into the pan- no char or crust on the shrimp so the only flavor came from the garlic sauce they poured on. Would not recommend. read more

New little spot in Royal Hawaiian shopping center. I got garlic shrimp only. 10 shrimps a slice of pineapple, some salad and a lemon wedge. The shrimp was cooked but not crispy enough. Actually was a tad bit under cooked but not worrying. Needed more garlic punch to beat out some better garlic shrimps I have had. Also the garlic needed more browning. Not 5 stars like the name implies. I'll try the steak next time. Giving them 3 since it's brand new. read more

Incredibly... flavorless shrimp.. ugh. We got the Pineapple garlic shrimp and lemon shrimp... tasted like lemon water with hints of "garlic". My husband and I had to go back to Giovanni's Shrimp Truck just to redeem our taste buds. Stay away from mall food and save your money for the local eateries. You'll definitely taste the difference and will be well worth your dollars and cents. Five star shrimp? Nah, they gotta change that name for sure. False advertising. 2 star since the guy was super nice.. plus the pineapple garlic shrimp took some effort to make. It looked good for pictures.. but that's about it. Lol read more

Super super salty!! Don't come! We tried the pineapple shrimp and it's super salty. We asked the cook if he can recook or change the shrimp for us. The cook doesn't agree to switch shrimps for us. Bad service! And a ton of salt!! read more

This review is only for their garlic shrimp, we all thought it was just OK at best, not as good as other places or the shrimp trucks on north shore. Tasted like boiled shrimp with some garlic added, did not have a burst of flavor. The garlic shrimp at Island Vintage in the same mall is much better, although cost more as well. read more

Five Star Shrimp - Steak and shrimp plate. Rating: 4/10. - Seafood Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place is tucked away in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center in a secondary food court, so if you aren't looking for it, you probably won't find it. I had been looking for it and happened upon it by accident. It's with a cluster of other restaurants, and there's a small bar in the middle. I'm glad we found it because it was quite good. Ever on the hunt for spicy food, I ordered the spicy shrimp plate. That earned the five stars right there. Almost broke into a sweat, and that's a good thing. Paired with a cold beer from the bar--it was a perfect lunch for a break from the beach. The kids got the shrimp ramen bowl (garlic) and the pesto garlic shrimp plate. The ramen was a hit. The pesto garlic was just okay, but I think the kiddo ordered this without realizing what pesto was. She still cleaned her plate. The plates come with two scoops of rice and a salad with ranch. I'm not a ranch fan, so I didn't eat my salad and yet I still felt full. Would eat here again and suggest finding this place if you are in the Royal Hawaiian vicinity. It's on the third floor, opposite direction of the other food court. read more

The Garlic Shrimp plate was fantastic. The rice was crazy good, I almost didn't get it and am so glad I did. The food hall atmosphere is cute, I would definitely come back and eat this again. read more

We discovered this hidden gem just a few steps from the Sheraton Waikiki, and the garlic shrimp was fresh and delicious, with a generous portion of shrimp. We ended up having the shrimp only plate, no rice, and it was 11.99, which wasn't bad considering the number of shrimp you get. read more
