If you're looking for garlic shrimp on the North Shore, Aloha Shrimp is my go-to spot. I actually…read moreprefer it over Giovanni's for two simple reasons: the line is never crazy long, and the shrimp isn't swimming in grease. The food is packed with flavor without feeling heavy afterward. I'm more of a low-key, mom-and-pop kind of guy, and this shrimp truck fits that vibe perfectly. I usually order the classic garlic shrimp, but today I decided to try the spicy lemon garlic shrimp--and wow. It was so good I honestly wished I could turn around and order it all over again. If you're driving the North Shore and craving garlic shrimp, don't overlook Aloha Shrimp. It's consistently delicious, the service is quick, and it's one of those places I keep coming back to

We had the coconut shrimp, calamari, and fresh fish, and everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. We especially loved that it felt like a true local spot. If you're exploring and want fresh seafood with great flavor, definitely make a stop at Ken's. We loved it and would absolutely come back!

The absolute best Ahi Katsu fix on the island!…read more Tell me I'm not the only one who will drive completely across the island just to satisfy a craving! Whenever I need an Ahi Katsu fix, Ken's Fresh Fish in Laie is our absolute go-to destination. On our last trip, we decided to try the Opah Katsu alongside our usual order, and wow! Both had the most absolute perfect crunch! The fish is incredibly fresh, perfectly fried, and drizzled beautifully with sauce. It is worth every bit of the drive from the Ewa . Outstanding flavor, great quality, and a definitive must-stop if you're up on the North Shore. 10/10!

Need to remind you that you need to stop at this establishment you won't be disappointed…read more Their plate lenses. I am hooked. I'm always stopping by when I have a chance. I love their system where you they take your order and then you take that ticket and then if you do wanna shop for items you're more than welcome to shop around look around support local, which I highly recommend shopping around and then once you are all set with your purchase, you go to the cashier who is really friendly and they just bring you up your ticket and the items that you found in the store what's even better they give you a buzzer so when your food is ready, it goes off that way you're not standing awkwardly in the store. 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.

Papa Ole's is a spot I heard about from a friend, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. It feels like…read morea small mom and pop type place that locals enjoy, which is always a good sign. My personal favorite is the kalbi ribs. They've got that backyard BBQ taste that feels like a homecooked meal, and it's usually what I end up ordering. Simple, comforting, and it just hits. I also love grabbing food here and taking it down the street to eat at the beach. It's one of those meals that feels even better when you're eating it by the water. I just read that they may be closing soon, and if that's true, thank you for all the delicious meals over the years and wishing the team nothing but the best moving forward.

The closing date is set, December 15, 2025…read more Their regulars have stepped up their visits while locals living farther away are making their final pilgrimages. 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.

We were staying nearby at the Courtyard Marriott and evidently this is a Mormon controlled town so…read morethere was no alcohol at the hotel or the neighboring shopping area. So I found Tamura's 4 minutes from the hotel and it was quite interesting. They def have tons of liquor, wine and beer as well as groceries. Not fancy at all, made me feel like I took a Time Machine to the 1950's. Not a negative, just interesting. I also needed vinegar for my son's finger that got stung by a sea urchin and they had that, so mission accomplished!

The grocery section had a fishy, old smell when we visited, which wasn't the best first impression…read more On the positive side, both the grocery cashier and the cashier at the poke counter were very nice and friendly. We tried the poke, but it wasn't a favorite. Most of it was too salty for us, and the rice was really disappointing. It was mushy and just didn't have a good texture. The hamachi was the best of what we tried and was the one I would order again. Overall, though, I would probably skip getting poke here in the future. There are too many other places with better poke and better rice.

Little nice restraint with 3 - 4 seated tables and 4 high-top 2 seated. Very small so during busy hours prob can't find seats. We came at around 7:15 and there were only 2 other parties there so not bad. Mandoo- crispy and yummy as expected. Ribeye BbQ - WARNING! Plate is massive! They are not shine with their portion size. For $22 that is a steal! For once the meat portion is bigger than the rice! My husband and I shared 1 entree and 1 appetizer and we were stuffed, actually couldn't finish the whole thing. The owner? (Cashier lady) was very nice and welcoming. Not sure if we will ever end up back here but definitely recommend and would come back. Currently losing my taste buds so the flavor to me is not as strong but hubby says the seasoning is great and he's a bit picky.

We visited last weekend on Easter Sunday, and it was busy! Everything is prepared fresh to order,…read moreso it's worth the wait, for sure. My husband and I ordered the Mongolian beef with ahi cakes, the char siu with ahi cakes, and the Teri burger. We started with the Teri burger, which was served with a pineapple slaw on top. At first I was a little apprehensive, but it was absolutely delicious. Mild but flavorful, the slaw was the yin to the burgers yang - a perfect combination. The patty was thick and juicy, which was also completely unexpected. The Mongolian beef was well-executed - a good balance of meat and bell peppers; I was expecting this dish to be too spicy for me, but I found it to be just right. The ahi cakes were huge, so you would think they would be dry...you would also be wrong. They were perfectly dense while still moist, with the perfect aioli drizzled on top. The bonus? You get two! I didn't try the char siu, but my husband said it hit the spot. While char siu can sometimes be greasy, this was anything but. The pork was wok fried with a combination of fresh veggies, and was the perfect complement to the ahi cakes. The drive was long but scenic, and this food truck is right across the street from the ocean. Beautiful views, mouth-watering food, and great service (thanks, Jon!) make this place a must.

The guy/owner working there was really funny and friendly too. Super good vibes. Right next to Kaya's so we were able to grab some drinks and other goodies. Clean tables and hand wash station right across from the water. Definitely recommend!!
