🍤 Giovanni‘s Shrimp Truck Review | A Must-Try or Overhyped? 🌺

If you’ve searched for “must-eat in O‘ahu,” you’ve definitely seen Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck — famous for serving what many call the best shrimp plate on the island. I put that claim to the test. Here’s the real deal: 🌟 The Food Experience I ordered the 🦐 SCAMPI (Garlic Shrimp) — their most famous dish. 🧄 The garlic flavor is intense and aromatic — perfect for garlic lovers! 🍤 The shrimp I had were fresh, plump, and springy — not the frozen kind some reviewers complained about. ⏳ They cook each order fresh, so expect a wait during peak hours — but it’s worth it for that hot-off-the-griddle taste. 🪰 The Vibe & Setting Let’s be real — this is not a fine-dining experience. 🌳 The truck is parked in an open area surrounded by trees — and yes, there are flies. A lot of them. 💁🏻‍♀️ If you’re sensitive to outdoor dining with little creature companions… maybe reconsider. This is the definition of a local “fly restaurant” 🪰💦 📍 Locations & Tips Two spots to find them: 66-472 Kamehameha Hwy, Haleiwa | $2 parking, CASH ONLY 56-505 Kamehameha Hwy, Kahuku 💡 Bring wet wipes — it’s a messy (but delicious) hands-on experience! ✅ Final Verdict Garlic shrimp = 👍 Flavorful, fresh, iconic Environment = 👎 Rustic, fly-friendly, no frills Worth a visit if you’re already in the North Shore area, but maybe not worth a special long drive — especially if you prefer a more polished dining setting. 🦐 Have you been to Giovanni’s?
