      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.

    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

    • @harrymiram6621
      @harrymiram6621 4 місяці тому +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

      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!

    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! 😍

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    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 🤙🏼

    @p-forest 4 місяці тому +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  4 місяці тому

    @RSER808 4 місяці тому +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.

    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!

    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.

    Leonards and Giovanni was the highlight of my trip, foodwise, in Hawaii lol though to be honest the Giovanni at the Hmart in Honolulu had way more kick to it than the ones on the North Shore. But regardless this video makes me miss it all lol

    Pretty spot on. The only reason I prefer Kahuku Famous sometimes id because I like to get the combo with garlic shrimp and spicy squid, or garlic shrimp and steak. TEds Bakery garlic shrimp is pretty legit too.,

    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  4 місяці тому +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 👍

    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!

    Another great one! Giovani’s and Hono’s! Romy’s is at a different level because it’s a full head on prawn.

    If you look carefully, it looks like the garlic they use in Honos comes from the big jar you see at Costco that’s why it’s not as garlicky. The look perfectly squared.

    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.

    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.

    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.
