The No Refunds Hot & Spicy Shrimp was really good and had plenty of flavor. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with the Shrimp Scampi, as it didn't have much flavor, especially when it came to the garlic. The rice on both plates was also very mushy, which I didn't enjoy. Overall, I wasn't as impressed with the food as I expected to be. In my opinion, this place is a little overhyped. The shrimp itself was good, but based on the overall meal, I don't feel it lived up to the hype.

When I asked the guy which one he recommended the Colby or the Terri steak, the guy didn't hesitate and told me that KB. I can see why. It was very soft and well cooked, well marinated. Very melting in your mouth kind of delicious. Sweet soy Flavors. Spicy poke fried- $20, amazing spice and cream, with fully cooked ahi. Comes with two scoop of rice and side of spicy Mac mayo salad. All the wonders of spicy hippo, but fully cooked, which was very nice for me. As with any plate lunch place, I wish they had more vegetables in their plate to reflect the recommended vegetable intake, which is half of the plate, but that's for any takeout. Wouldn't mind seeing some green though. Overall, very impressed with the quality of food and wish they would come in town more often.

This past time, I went to the Bald Guy with my nephew and we got the Furikake salmon. As we locals would say, Da buggah was Ono and wen brok da mout! Translation: The food was scrumptious and my taste buds still dream of that moment. My nephew who was visiting said it was his TOP memory of his trip. We've taken him to other locations and he said things were ok, but the salmon made him want to come back just for that. If you're heading around Kahuku, make sure you check out Da Bald Guy!

I could be wrong about the corn they used, but I had have had better. It wasn't terrible, just serviceable. The bad: They tipped themselves with my credit card without my knowledge. They stated a total, I paid with tap. They said thank you and said it would be 7-8 minutes and so then I walked away. Initial charge showed what they stated but then I see that another 15% was added a day later. I take responsibility that I didn't stick around for the tip screen but I honestly thought our transaction was over after I tapped. I totally would have tipped as I always do but I wasn't asked as they let me walk away. They also could have just asked me verbally for a tip when I came back to pick up my order rather than take it from me. It was only a few bucks but it's the principle; you shouldn't just take from a customer without their knowledge or permission.

You heard right, a peach mango rub (made from scratch by Chef D, the owner ) that one would typically put on a slow roasted or smoked meat was thrown on some hot crispy fries with a barbecue drizzle sauce.... Mm mm good . Speaking of the owner, he was serving with his daughter, and their "up" spirits and welcoming smiles created a fun but family atmosphere... great ambiance! Chef D told us his story and how they got there in Hawaii. But most of all his passion for food was very evident.

The chef is from Philly and not only is his food rich in flavor, he's rich because he got the family there with him, and they provide the best service and amazing vibes. I could have easily chatted with them all day, they are super cool, creating a very welcoming ambience. I enjoyed the jerk chicken and Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and be warned, they are HUGE, great portions, easy to share, because he splits them in half. Both were a 10/10, I would have them again! Philly was out of this world good! The filling of these egg rolls taste delicious and gourmet, you can absolutely tell in every single bite the thought, intention, and time it took to prepare these unique flavors! Washed it down with a refreshing guava lemonade. :) You will not regret stopping here, and probably will be back for more. Mahalo!

Upon a quick search, some people said they prefer this spot over another popular shrimp truck. Happy to say it was one of the highlights of our trip! The staff was very friendly and helpful. After ordering though a window, you wait for your number to be called and pick up the food. There are plenty of seatings around. We got the famous butter garlic shrimps and the salt and pepper shrimps plates. Both were delicious with great shrimp texture and freshness; however, we both agree salt and pepper shrimps are heavily underrated. Another bonus point is that the shells on the salt and pepper shrimps had a slight crunchy texture so I did not have to peel them. So happy to have found them!

I missed the chance to take a photo, but the sautéed garlic was served over both the rice and the shrimp. Unfortunately, the overall flavor was flat, and the shrimp itself was a bit rubbery and needed more seasoning. My niece tried the spicy garlic shrimp, and the rice ended up being spicier than the shrimp. Tanaka seems to have steady traffic from tour groups, with visitors coming and going throughout the day. If you're a fan of Romy's, you may leave disappointed.
