When it comes to garlic shrimp, the original garlic sauce here is unbeatable — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It’s the one choice you simply can’t go wrong with.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shi Ada · Apr 2025

Sam’s kitchen is a place I must visit for their steak and garlic shrimp every time in Waikiki. They recently opened a new location in Waikiki shopping plaza. Location is a little bit hard to find but the food is amazing as always. It is located underground together with some other popular food vendors like Magiro Bros.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Anna Hong · Jan 2026

The garlic shrimp was terrible - the worst I had during my 10 day stay in Oahu. It also took over 20 minutes to receive my food, and most of my group that had ordered from Maguro Brothers next door was already done with their meal by the time I got my food. Would definitely skip this place.

Great shrimp, I think it's better than the 3 shrimp trucks on the North Shore everyone always talks about. Good service and plenty of seating.
