5 Best North Shore Shrimp Trucks
1. Aloha Shrimp Truck
Aloha Shrimp Truck was a gem that we discovered while driving through Hauula, and it’s definitely one of the best shrimp trucks we’ve ever tried! Their garlic shrimp is delicious, and they also offer other varieties such as coconut shrimp and ginger shrimp. With ample, outdoor seating and a friendly staff, this shrimp shack is definitely worth the visit!
Jarden doesn’t care for shrimp so he tried their katsu place. It was a wonderful decision – amazing chicken katsu!
Location: Hauula
Price: $14. Cash only.
2. Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck

Giovani’s is probably the most popular shrimp truck on Oahu, with consistent lines being an attest to their amazing, garlic shrimp. They also LOAD on the garlic sauce here – it’s delicious! From garlic scampi (my favorite), to lemon butter and hot and spicy varieties, there’s a shrimp plate here for everyone.

While the shrimp at Giovanni’s is smaller and not as sweet as other shrimp trucks, the mounds of garlic makes up for it! They also offers garlic hot dogs as an alternative. Don’t forget to autograph the shrimp truck!
Location: Haleiwa and Kahuku.
Price: $14. Cash only.

3. Hono’s Shrimp Truck
Hono’s Shrimp Truck is in the same food truck lot as Giovanni’s, and usually has a shorter line so we eat here often. We like the size and quality of the shrimp at Hono’s, which are always nice and sweet! While Hono’s doesn’t give as much garlic sauce, it’s still a sufficient amount for any garlic lover.
Hono’s also offers some kalbi ribs for non-seafood lovers. If you need some dessert after all that shrimp, theres an excellent crepe shop between the two shrimp shacks
Location: Haleiwa
Price: $14. Cash only.
4. Romy’s Shrimp Truck

What is so notable about Romy’s Shrimp Truck is the amount of garlic that is included in the plate! The shrimp is also as fresh as it gets, having been caught in the ponds right behind the shrimp shack. Romy’s is also notoriously busy, so you can actually call ahead and place a phone-order which is unique.
