    • @minminsun9647
      @minminsun9647 Před 6 měsíci

      Big Wave - better than the OG Giovanni's, sorry. It has a side salad with pineapple, very garlicy, and love it's served over the rice to catch all the flavors. The shrimp is plump and bigger when we did same comparison you guys did, but we put all of them next to each other. Thanks for this recap though, solidified our decision that Big Wave was our #1.

    • @chellerrrz

    @calm1mind Před 6 měsíci +24

    Not sure anyone has posted but Fumi’s changed their name to Tanaka and moved just 100 yards north on Kam Hwy where there is a few buildings with other stores - loved this episode ❤

    • @AmandaFelixEats
      @AmandaFelixEats  Před 6 měsíci +3

      Thanks for letting us know! We actually drove by but had no idea 😢

    • @harrymiram6621
      @harrymiram6621 Před 6 měsíci +2

      Fumi's May have changed their name to Tanaka's coz, back in da day, the building was originally H.Tanaka Store, back when Kahuku Sugar Mill was up & running. Maybe, somebody that was brought up in/around Kahuku around that time, can shed more light?!..BTW...Felix might be spoiled in his preference chili spicy hot more than Tabasco-type hot coz of Viet(?) background?!...Not really big fan of garlic shrimp but, after watching you guys, taste sampling might be on the horizon?!-lol...Keep these videos coming

    • @BraddahBruce
      @BraddahBruce Před 6 měsíci

      I came here to comment this! Had Tanaka’s two weeks ago after initially freaking out that Fumi’s (my personal fave North Shore shrimp) was closed and found a bunch of Yelp comments saying Tanaka’s was the same business. Just as delicious and amazing as ever, but the new storefront is SUPER efficient, clean, and they even had a musician playing on a small stage! 5 STARS!

    I made my very first trip to Hawaii 6 mths ago. I directed the family to Giovanni's due to a previous video. OMG!!! The first bite of Shrimp Scampi sent me to Heaven! The garlic was like 'addicting,' and I've never felt that way. I was so disappointed that I didn't get another plate. You two have steered me in the right direction when it comes to Hawaiian cuisine. Thanks, and I wish you many years of love, happiness, and good eating. Hope to see you on my next trip, if I'm lucky! 😊

    I’m so happy you guys chose Giovanni’s. When I went to Hawaii last time I went there and was raving about how amazing the garlic shrimp was and my friend who is from Hawaii and still has family there told me that there’s better places. She didn’t say where but nonetheless I felt totally invalidated. But now I have been redeemed! 😂😂😂 I knew it!!! It was divine. I even ate the lemon with the skin on because it was cooked in that garlic butter sauce. 😅😅😅 It was that good!

  • @tracy7521
    @tracy7521 Před 6 měsíci

    I’m glad to see others raving about Aloha shrimp. I know I’ve recommended it to you before. Last time we were there, in addition to their garlic shrimp, we got the coconut shrimp which was the best ivevever had. Mahalo for another great video🫶

  • @alisonlee1284
    @alisonlee1284 Před 6 měsíci +1

  • @uniotter2662
    @uniotter2662 Před 6 měsíci

    Yay, another "best of" episode! I only wish it had been available a week ago, as I had a visitor and took them out to North Shore to try the shrimp truck experience (as well as big waves and shave ice, naturally!). I did some research and finally decided on Hono's. We did enjoy both the regular garlic and spicy garlic shrimp, but that was my first time too (I know, shame for a local grrl! 🤣) so I have nothing to compare it to. Now that I have your excellent review I will surely go back and try some others. Thanks as always for your excellent videos, can't wait till the next one! 😍

  • @wyldeslash2003

  • @Joe-nj3bb
    @Joe-nj3bb Před 6 měsíci +1

    Just by watching the video, Big Wave and Hono's looked good to me, but I'm not surprised Giovanni's won. I've seen them featured in so many other videos.
    Last year when I went to Maui and Kauai, I had garlic shrimp at The Shrimp Station in Waimea on Kauai. It's located on a very busy street and makes a great stop after visiting the canyon.

  • @SCSig1971
    @SCSig1971 Před 5 měsíci

    We visited Oahu for the first time last September & found a shrimp truck in Heeia near the Byodo temple. It’s called Nome Ono & we really loved it!! It had a spicy sauce but it was mellowed out by what was probably coconut milk. It was definitely off the beaten path & seemed to be mostly locals there. BTW we used a lot of your tips when we visited! We love watching you!!!

  • @KoraRubin

    Dang too bad you didn’t get to try Romy’s. I think they have the best garlic shrimp hands down! If you love garlic, they pack on the most garlic. It’s hand cut garlic deep fried to perfection 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

  • @adcisla5112

    Aloha Shrimp in Hauula. I'm a local born and raised. LOVE my seafood! Have done many travels to try all the shrimp trucks. They may not use real kahuku shrimp (most don't). But they sell the BEST spicy shrimp on the Island, their regular garlic shrimp is still better than the other options... Highest rated on yelp, for a reason. Don't sleep on Aloha Shrimp!!!! Try em, then tell me I'm wrong. Bet!

  • @urs-
    @urs- Před 6 měsíci

    I love my garlic shrimp with the shell on. I especially like mines crunchy. My go to place use to be L&L in Iwilei next to Costco. Their garlic shrimp was so flavorful, not greasy, nice and crunchy and I left no evidence on my plate!!! I don’t work that side anymore 😢.
    Fun video! Thank you for the all the reviews 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼. Such foodie worriors 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
    I’m definately gonna try Romy’s!! Thanks for the great tips 🤙🏼

  • @Debi-sj3gn
    @Debi-sj3gn Před 6 měsíci

    Gosh, it's been 20+ years since I've had Giovannis shrimp. I still remember the garlic aroma. Yummy!

  • @p-forest
    @p-forest Před 6 měsíci +3

    Giovanni's for me (I would like it if they added the amount of garlic sauce that Kahuku's does), Kahuku's spicy for the gf, but I bet she'd like Honos spicy, need to try that. Have had bad luck every time I've tried to have Fumi's & Romy's, closed or out of what I wanted. Side note, Giovanni's sells a garlic hot dog where they cover it with the garlic sauce which was great! Thanks for being detailed with flavors and counting the shrimp!

    • @AmandaFelixEats
      @AmandaFelixEats  Před 6 měsíci

      So glad we could show more spots and variations of garlic shrimp! We definitely gotta go back for the hot dog 🌭 mahalo!🤙🏻

  • @sarahallen3976
    @sarahallen3976 Před 6 měsíci

    This is my husband and my bucket list thing to do! We also loved Giovanni for the strong garlic flavor but we thought honos had the better shrimp quality and we loved the spicy garlic shrimp there! Have to try Kahuku when we go back

  • @RSER808
    @RSER808 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Aloha, Amanda & Felix...I loved this Garlic Shrimp Series. It was very informative, just like the Loco Moco episode. Great job. My personal opinion is that Giovanni's has the best Garlic Flavor. A big bonus is the garlic flavor on the rice. I never tried HONO and glad you put this place on the episode. I did see on the Hono menu that they had a pineapple shrimp (sweet & sour) which I am eager to try. Fyi, Kau Kau Grill in mapunapuna has a garlic shrimp that is done with Olive Oil and not butter for a healthier version. May I recommend doing a Mac Salad Series? Big controversy on Frolic now regarding the Best Mac Salad. Just a suggestion. Have an awesome day.

    • @AmandaFelixEats
      @AmandaFelixEats  Před 6 měsíci

      Would love to do a Mac salad episode! We gotta try the shrimp at kau kau next time! Mahalo Rick! 🤙

    Y’all really should have had Aloha Shrimp in the mix. The variety and the flavors makes it the Shrimp Truck that we take all over visiting friends and family from the mainland.

  • @grandmax4
    @grandmax4 Před 5 měsíci

    We did a similar tasting tour like yours years ago but we also tried the garlic shrimp at Ted’s Bakery too. Our result … go not pass go, do not collect $200, and go straight to Giovanni’s! And no need to go all the way to the North Shore to get that fix - We stay in town and go to the Giovanni’s at HMart (about a mile from the Ala Moana Center) instead. Free garaged parking, air conditioned food court, clean tables/chairs/restrooms, and no critters and flies to swat!

  • @momonakokeshi6325

    Hey Guys! Was out there about a year ago and ate garlic shrimp at the truck next to Hono's. I think it was Giovannis unless its different now? I didn't know there were so many other places to try. Thanks for showing all the good spots for grindz! 😁

Has anyone else tried?

    About 10 years ago, the Honolulu Reader maybe, rated the best Oahu shrimp truck WITHOUT FLIES. Mikes in Kaneohe won. I think they’re still there. For you guys, who had the best garlic shrimp without flies.

    Last time Judy and I ate garlic shrimp in the North Shore was at Mackey’s Shrimp Truck. We thought it was good…I think it’s gone now.
    Have you tried Giovanni’s at the H-Mart food court? Wonder if it’s the same as the truck.

    I think the places with weak garlic flavor likely used pre-peeled or pre-minced garlic from a jar. Those garlic tend to be less pungent vs fresh garlic.

    A couple years ago I did a side by side comparison of Fumis & Giovanni's, Fumis being a local favorite and Giovanni's a tourist favorite. Fumis shrimp were bigger and fresher tasting with corn and pineapple. Giovanni's had more garlic flavor, but not as buttery. The shrimp were a little bit rubbery and the rice was a little mushy. All-in-all Fumis was my favorite, but I love buttery garlic shrimp no matter where I can get them! Thank you Amanda & Felix for showing me more places to try!

    Great review as always. I have a stupid question. Can you order the shrimp without the shells on? I don't think I could handle eating the shells. And it seems like all of the sauce would be gone if you had them served shells on, and all the sauce would be gone once you take the shells off.

    • @AmandaFelixEats
      @AmandaFelixEats  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Unfortunately you can't order them without the shell. There are places like Da bald guy food truck that does garlic shrimp without the shell 👍

    Epic Showdown with Da Vonne. Not a huge fan of garlic shrimp. Sorry! But the whole prawns looked so delicious and fresh, I would love to get that plate or go to Cajun Kings in Waimalu for their seafood boils.

    Team Romy's because once in a while they actually have prawns, not simply just the regular shrimps! And it tastes fresh! My favorite would probably be Kauai Shrimp, cooked at home.

    Jenny’s is the best. Their shrimps are de veined, butterflied and larger than Giovanni’s. Also there’s hardly a line, free parking and plenty of tables.

    shell off, but if it´s fried, I do like to eat the tail if it´s crispy enough its funny to freak out the people who dont know you could do that. (but if it´s raw or fresh shrimp i wont do that)

    I have noticed over the years that a lot of the flavorless garlic is from China and not from California or Mexico where we get most of our good garlic.
