    Lobster corn dog
    Rod U.

    This is NOT a review from a tourist. No added stars for being high on Hawaii. A lobster corn dog. Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, very sweet, corn meal coating surrounds bits of real lobster on a stick. The "dog" is dressed with the typical "dragon sauce" and dusted with togarashi. A great snack if the hangry pains hit but at $15, expensive. Very friendly service. In the COVID era, credit cards preferred. A novelty at best but worthy of a try none the less.

    a plate of shrimp and rice

    The shrimp plate was yummy! It had just the right amount of garlic, butter and spice, but definitely not spicy. As for the lobster dawg, the batter was tasty, topped with a nice aioli, though I just wished it had more lobster inside for what it's worth. As for those churros, they were nice and crunchy, with that lychee sauce and it looked like li hing mui, that gave it a different flavor. As for the plantation iced tea, it was on the watery side; I would've wanted more tea and more pineapple flavor in it. To order and pay (even for the plantation iced tea and churros) go to the main stand where the shrimp and main entrees are sold. If you get churros or iced tea they will give you a ticket, that you need to walk to the churro and drink stand to give. They then make your products accordingly and call you at either side when your orders are ready. Parking available on the road near Giovanni's or the Kahuku Sugar Mill, just avoid the potholes and puddles!

    $12.42 for fried lobster dog. The corn dog with the lobster wasn't bad, not a ton of lobster, mostly corn meal. Was it worth $12.42, probably not. We did get to try the strawberry churro bite, it was fine as well. Quick service.

    My friend saw an amazing lobster option... in the form of a corn dog. We just had to check it out! It's located in the "middle" where cars can cut through one part to the other side of the Kahuku food truck central. It's closer to Giovanni's. There are many random spots to park at or the invisible stalls that won't ever be a problem. We got the lobster dog and their take of a Hawaiian churro (mango and lychee). I'll start with the churros. The churros were an interesting color... pink and green for mango and lychee?? Confused but interesting. I tried the pink one, and I couldn't distinguish the flavor at all. It tasted like a regular churro. Then I tried the green one and still couldn't distinguish the flavor. My friend thought the the pink one was lychee... but we don't really know. Definitely not worth $10. The lobster dog looked good! It was drizzled with a kind of mayo and furikake. I took a bite of the dog and the first thing that came to mind was the texture of the breading. It wasn't smooth and really crummy similar to a regular corn dog breading. Totally did not expect that, tbh. The lobster was nicely minced and packed into the cornbread. The mayo gave a lot of flavor to the snack! I thought this place was okay. It's an interesting experience especially with the new lobster roll hype. Wouldn't go out of my way for it though.

    This place ended up on our radar thanks to the folks at 22Kailua! It's situated amongst a handful of fast casual spots on North Shore. Lines weren't too long when we were there in September 2021. Not sure we'd take a trip out to North Shore just for this, but it's a fun option if you're already in the area. * Kahuku waffle dog: Steven preferred this one. I just liked the lilikoi honey mustard--certainly not something I've had before. * Lobster dog: I liked the consistency! It reminded me of a crab cake. Steven said he would've liked it more if the dog were marinated.

    Ordered garlic shrimp, lobster dog, and the seafood boil. The service was quick and the order came out quickly. Had a seat in their nice outdoor seating area right off to the side. Not crowded or busy so it was nice! Now for the food! Plates were beautiful but for me the garlic shrimp lacked depth. The shells on the shrimp were very soft which means either they've been sitting too long or not fresh. It needed something. Chunks of garlic would be excellent. The boil same thing. It had sausage, corn, potato and clams. The lobster dog? It was like a sweetened cornbread with pieces of lobster. It was slightly sweet and crunchy on the outside. It would not be something I would order again. I'll save my drive and my $$$ for food worth remembering.

    How can you not try a Lobster Dog?? It was delicious! The owners are super cool too. Not many places you can roll up and hear country music blasting. Awesome vibe and you get a drink and a bag of chips with the meal. Score - parking: plenty of parking - cost: $13 - $18 a person - menu: lobster dog and 4 or 5 other meals - perk: seating and shade - dessert option: Hawaiian Churro right next door

    New location in HI and it couldn't have been in a better location. The service starts when a smile and awesome folks, then the reason for stopping...FOOD! You have a choice of lobster dogs and shrimp plates. Good luck to this family and I'll be returning for more..thank you for accepting us..mahalo

    I love this spot. Great service even better food. I had the Mahi Mahi poke, delicious, fresh, yummy. The pineapple ice tea was quite refreshing. I will definitely come back.

    I had high expectations of this food stand because of the reviews and videos i've seen on social media and who wouldn't want to try a lobster corn dog?! What I saw on Instagram was a whole lobster tail coated in a cornmeal batter with spices and a mayo drizzle. Instead, what I received was an overly fried and thick corndog with a small amount of lobster paste in the middle. This was definitely not worth $14. I even went back on their social media to look at what they posted and it is not the same product. I was so excited to try this and support a local business but I think they are targeting tourists unfortunately.. I am assuming they were unable to get a supply of lobster tails to offer what they normally sell, but if this is the case then don't make a substandard version and sell it for the same price.

    Brah I stay going to shrimp shack but no more. These shrimps are so much bigger and they are easy to peel. Can get a pineapple smoothie out of the pineapple next door and churros. Bug gags is so ono. No more shrimp shack only going here for now on.

    So good had literally everything on the menu (in small quantities of course) would definitely come back and suggest it to all my friends coming to the north side. Love it!

    I visited this famous spot last week while in Hawaii with my wife, and it honestly did not live up…read moreto the hype. We ordered the Spicy Shrimp and the Shrimp Scampi plates, and neither was impressive. The food came out almost instantly, which proves it is not cooked to order. Because it sits around, the shrimp is incredibly difficult to peel. Anyone who cooks shrimp knows that if you do not peel it right after cooking, the shell sticks to the meat, which was exactly the case here. The Spicy Shrimp had a decent kick, but it lacked actual flavor. The Shrimp Scampi was better but still bland. Honestly, 9 out of 10 shrimp places back home in Southern California make a better plate. To make things worse, the two ladies managing the truck were rude. My wife asked for extra napkins, not realizing some were already in the bag. The worker snapped back, "Are those not enough?" and made her feel super awkward. We also asked for a cup of ice to go with our canned sodas. They flatly refused and told us to ask another truck nearby. Luckily, the other truck owners were much nicer and gave us the ice. Save your time and money. There are much better, friendlier options out there.

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!

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.

You can watch him doing the fry-up while you wait. The seasoning is just right. The outside is crisp & inside is juicy. It seriously so good! The Mac n Cheese is EXACTLY what I look for. Cheese, bacon, and bread crumbs. There is cheese all the way through - not just sitting on top. The noodles were soft, not rubbery. I'm telling you, you HAVE to try it! DELICIOUS!
