    Do most people come here because there is an agreement with certain tours? That's how I ended up here LOL. Our tour guide for the day mentioned that their huli huli chicken was really popular and good, but I keep hearing things about SHRIMP trucks and Shrimp was literally in the Shrimp The Bomb name, so I went with a shrimp plate - the half half which was half shrimp scampi and spicy garlic shrimp. Food came out quickly, and the shrimps were mostly good. The noodles under were really bland as well as the rice. For the price, it wasn't really worth it for shrimp that didn't get me full plus a tasty slice of pineapple. The rice and noodles weren't great to me and it just didn't really fill me up. The spicy garlic shrimp had some good flavors, but I wished it was the really spicy kind to even out some of the blandness from the carbs.

    great shrimp and rice!! love the portions anf staff was friendly anf helpful. Nice and garlicy

    This was cold.. Had it been warm it wouldn't been better!

    Island tour brought us here.. The shrimp tasted ok but entire plate was just lukewarm.. Chicken was the biggest rip off because it was literally a quarter piece of chicken, two scoops of plain rice and a couple pieces of lettuce for like $22.. Overall I wished I'd had a different option because the chicken portions and cold food left me feeling like they played us. But if you have to choose between the two, go with the shrimp because it was way tastier and came with rice and noodles..

    So many great flavors! Stopped here on our Aloha Sunshine Tour. Definitely worth the stop, plus they are right next door to a souvenir shop, which had quality yet affordable options. Friendly options for those who with gluten and/or dairy allergies. Great service, lots of outdoor shaded seating. Lots of nice flavors. My family members enjoyed the shrimp meal. Enjoyed the chicken meal with a side of kimchi.

    A great stop on your journey around the island. We stopped at this food truck on the north side of the island. We were on an island tour and this is one of the stops our driver takes his tour groups. He called ahead so we didn't have to wait for our food which was nice. There were lots of picnic tables for us to sit at and eat. They have two signature dishes. One is shrimp and the other chicken. Everyone really enjoyed their lunch. I took the opportunity to walk across the road and walk the beach.

By now, anyone who is a fan knows their food so rather than another review, some tips for securing that last taste. 1. They are in a cellular dead zone. 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.

It was only around less than 10 minutes of waiting for 3 food items and the tables outside were ok, with the canopy providing good shade from the sun but lots of flies! The proportions were on point with the pork & gravy to rice ratio, and the gravy added an amazing saucy taste. The pork was cooked well and was tender with no chewy or rough parts with a good taste. The rice itself was cooked nicely and each grain separated nicely in my mouth. The Mac salad tasted pretty good, for me it was only the tiniest amount of too sweet for me, but I do wish there was slightly more mac salad. Overall I liked the food a lot!

Also allows the cooks to truly be comfortable and not feel the pressure of being watched. I highly recommend coming to despite even if it's your first time or your hundredth time good Ono food.

The Lomi Salmon has a nice bite from the red and green onions, the freshness from the tomatoes, and that briny saltiness.

The menu had plenty of fun options... garlic shrimp, steak, calamari, fish, and more... so it looked promising at first. Unfortunately, the food itself didn't quite hit the mark for us. Not bad, but definitely lacking in flavor and seasoning. Nothing really stood out, and it didn't leave us wanting to come back for more. That said, the location is convenient, right next to a market where we were able to grab drinks. There are a few tables on the beach with a really pretty view, and some extra seating along the side of the market. The woman who took our order at the window was super friendly, and we had no issues with customer service at all in fact she was probably the highlight of the visit. Overall, it's an okay stop if you're already nearby and want something casual, but if you're looking for bold flavors or standout shrimp dishes, this one didn't quite deliver for us.
