Ding ding ding ding!! Ladies and Gentlemen we have a winner! In the hotly contested "best Garlic Shrimp" category my vote goes to Famous Kahuku Shrimp Truck for their simple but excellent presentation of everyone's favorite North Shore lunch. Generous portion of shell-on shrimp in a super garlicky butter sauce, that doesn't have a hint of bitterness...which to me indicates a careful hand in the kitchen. We ordered one spicy (you can choose your level of spiciness...I went "medium") and one regular. The regular was the clear favorite. The spicy was delicious, and medium was pretty darn hot, but I would skip it next time and stick with the tried and true. Cash Only..service is fast, friendly and efficient. Plenty of picnic table seats make this a delicious and delightful stop ....and will have you driving right past Giovanni's without a second thought.

Right past Giovanni's is this shrimp truck with a whole bunch of other food trucks/stands which I think this place is farrrrr more superior. I've tried all of the shrimp trucks and this has been my go to on the north shore since I was a little kid. They douse their shrimp in that liquid gold and they're not shy about their garlic either. Plenty of seating and the wait is not long and they have restrooms too. Definitely give this place a try and avoid the tourist trap.

The spicy shrimp was mid, husband says it wasn't spicy and he prefers Giovanni's. I however LOVED the coconut shrimp . I've been wanting coconut shrimp and that other shrimp truck doesn't have it. I was very satisfied!

Short Ribs on the North Shore look no further !!!! These are the bomb ONG sooo flavorful sooo good with a side of tasty Japchae noodles. This is food truck but there is plenty of outside seating as there are several food trucks in the surrounding area so the space is all open.
