Absolutely Amazing Garlic Prawns! Flew into the country and hour before and my first meal I’m sure can’t be beat! Super friendly staff. I was told it would be 20mins, and it was 20mins. Cooked fresh, so much flavor. Worth the wait and worth the $$! Will be back tomorrow to try another! My wife and I shared, there was plenty.

I had a late lunch here at 3 pm and ordered the coconut shrimp plate. I’ve never heard of anything called coconut shrimp, so this peaked my interest as I like shrimp and coconut. The outside of the shrimp was fried perfectly and cooked perfectly as well, and the spicy and sour sauce compliments it well. The sweetness of the coconut was surprisingly good fit for this dish. However, the rice was clumpy and doesn’t feel fresh (it’s understandable as it was 3 pm, so it was most likely left in the rice cooker for a while). Also the salad was good but too warm for my liking, so I would like to be cold. The dressing was decent though. Overall, solid option considering the portion size and the quality of food. I would definitely recommend it

Mahalo! Always wary of tourist traps, we were seeking some coconut shrimp. Came upon here and met the nicest guy working, and at the time he said it would be a 25 minute wait for food. We decided to go get drinks and come back before closing (9 pm on a saturday) and then ordered. Coconut shrimp was BOMB and you can order by the piece! We also LOVED the garlic shrimp. I think or affordability, taste, and all around good vibes this is a great place for some shrimp. We also loved the sugar cane tea. Thank you!!!

Delicious food, had the spicy shrimp! Oh boy, sat on a warm bed of rice, the juices from the shrimp flavored it, with a little salad and the noodle salad was yummyyy! Also the vibes were great. Yes it is a food truck but this food can go against any restaurant in this city and succeed.

Very good! I got the angry shrimp plate, came with two scoops of fukaki rice and salad greens. I got the medium spicy and should have just got hot(I am a spicy lover). Flavor was delicious and seasoned. The shrimp was fresh and filling! Service was superior he even brought it out to me not just passed through the window. Would recommend for sure!
