They have just two choices of shrimp, garlic and spicy. Spicy does come in 4 different spice levels. And the plates include rice along with 4 different banchans. I opted for the spicy, at a level one which is half a scoop. It was full of flavor and it had just the right amount of spice. One thing I did have a problem with was the chunks of chili or panko. It was a bit too much but she still go. Mopped the plate up and was satisfied!

I wasn't expecting to find a good shrimp spot inside a liquor store, but I was pleasantly…read moresurprised. After leaving a doctor's appointment, I had a craving for shrimp and Google Maps led me here and they did not disappoint. This is definitely one of my favorite shrimp plate places. Aloha Shrimp on the North Shore is still my #1 pick, but this spot is easily in my top 5. The service was good, and my food came out in about six minutes. There isn't much ambiance since it's located inside a liquor store with no seating, so it's definitely more of a takeout place.

My husband got spicy ahi with a half order of matsuri style shrimp with rice and Mr. loved it. This place upheld and exceeded its standards. The ambiance was very relaxed.

Hawaiian garlic shrimp is a iconic local dish, not technically traditional Hawaiian food, featuring…read moreshell-on shrimp tossed in a pungent garlic-butter sauce, heavily popularized by North Shore, Oahu food trucks since the mid-1970s. With the recent flood happening at the end of March, and our trip being in early April, going to North Shore wasn't advised. While we have some great Hawaiian garlic shrimp spots in Arizona, we had to at least try to get some garlic shrimp while on Oahu. We gave this place a try just because we were already in the building. It wasn't a choice we made prior because honestly, I would have suggested trying a more well-known spot like two miles away, haha! We shared a $14 Shrimp with Original Garlic sauce on it and made it a combo with rice, a scoop of potato mac salad, and regular salad, $14 + $6. Sam's Kitchen was okay. I would have loved to have the shell-on but this place does not offer shell-on shrimp. Still, they make a decent garlic shrimp.

5-15/26 @10:45am or five minutes after 11am…read more ... anyway let's put it this way if I was to go back over there the one thing that I will be getting more of is the japanese andagi. ... I've seen this place so many times and I've even been to their neighbor which is the rainforest cafe- (exceptional Italian cream soda / like egg soda) I love the Lilikoi tart they have there. This time I actually went to get something and didn't realize they do sell "Andagi" I also bought a small thing of okinawin yakisoba. And two pieces of sweet mochi Truly not a disappointment. In fact this has that very open Okazuya style of takeout most times it does have order ahead in there were a few people before I bought my food that had larger orders to pick up so it is recommended that you call them ahead of time. They're very gracious people that work in there they're very kind. They're very courteous and they're very quick with the order. I don't believe I saw the yakisoba in the menu, but I seen it when I got to the window and the mochi ball and Andagi are very close to the counter window I highly recommend anyone who is in and around the area for a quick grab on a local favorite of a Japanese doughnut to come to this spot because the andagi- is much to appreciate it's one of these things that we know here in Hawaii to have that nice texture, The nice first crisp bite into the donut and then it leads into that delicious sweet cake doughnut part in the middle what we know as a Japanese donut, this carries its respected delightful reality... stop by this place because for $1.00 a piece... it's a crowd pleaser... I should have bought 10 of those things.. it's delicious when fresh and they keep really well into the end of the day.. Also I would definitely go back for the yakisoba the way it's made is delicious and I am one of those people that loves a good entrée that won't have meat or sometimes not even a hint of meat and this noodle dish is very good. I love how the vegetables were intertwined into the noodles sort of just not perfectly chopped, but it is tangled into the noodles as if it was another soba noodle- the carrots, spring onions, and if you see the accompanying picture- cabbage & or chopped boy choy. Thank you Teruya's Andagi. I will return

From mochi to meatballs, takoyaki and dim sum; balls are ALWAYS a good idea. If it's anything I've…read morelearned in my entire existence of being, it's that round foods are good! And Onomono's balls are NO exception to that rule. Think popular local dishes reinvented for an age where tapas and portable foods are the new 'it girl' in food land. Hubby and I spotted their tent at the Annual Ukulele Picnic. My initial reaction like many others as well, "what's an onomono ball?" That day it was a mixture of brown rice, furikake, spam, onion, garlic, and mushroom - lightly fried to 'melt in your mouth perfection' and served on a colorful bed of crunchy red/green cabbage. The accompanying sauces (cilantro lime cream and yuzu mayo) were just the kicks the balls needed to make my taste buds go wow. They change the flavors up and are continuously experimenting with different combinations. Their onogiri is also an added bonus, with 6 different flavors. Great for taking on the go or devouring on the spot. Follow their IG @onomono.hi to see what local event they'll be at next!

We ordered only TWO drinks, a matcha latte and a coffee latte, both with whole milk. They seemed to only make their drinks in regular sized cups (the cashier didn't specify if we wanted any cup sizes). We paid $36!!!! For TWO REGULAR SIZED DRINKS! And the worst part was...it was straight MILK! BOTH the matcha and coffee was weak, we basically paid $36 for milk! I couldn't even finish mine as it literally lacked any sort of taste other than just milk. I'm sorry but I would not recommend this stand to anyone, not in this economy!
