Binge watching you guys videos and taking notes coz in a week me and my hubby are honeymooning there🥳 thank you sooo much for the very informative and fun videos🤩🤩🤩!!!
We say the same thing, they rave over it. But I guess it's just one of those things where you're convinced before you even try it. Thank you for watching.
We agree - overated x10 - was SO looking forward to Giovannis Shrimp. We ordered one of each shrimp dishes and were TOTALLY underwhelmed and disappointed - this is it? We persevered and ate half but threw the rest in the bin. No idea why the crazy hype about this place - they should get much better shrimp recipes there are LOTS!
I watched a ton of your videos for my upcoming trip. I remember you said somewhere to avoid some type of chicken place. It used to be good now its soo dry. Where was that? I can't find that video. Do you remember where you said not to go for chicken?
Yes, it's Mike's huli huli chiken at the Kahuku sugar mill. There is another place that is amazing for huluhulu chicken - Mike's Fire Roatsted chicked in Kailua and Wahiawa. It sound similar but it taste way different
I recently ate the garlic shrimp scampi at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck and it was so delicious. I heard the spicy shrimp tasted too much like tabasco and the lemon butter didn't sound appealing to me. If you love garlic though, the garlic shrimp scampi is worth trying.
Hello!! I love this channel btw ❤️ I just came to say for everyone that's interested, that in Mexico we do eat corn like that but it's different. It's white corn (extremely IMPORTANT hahahaa), with butter, mayonnaise, chili powder or sauce, cotija cheese and lime juice, that's just the classic you can have it many different ways. And you can have your corn asado(charboiled) or cocido (boiled) just like Devon said. And it's ooooooooh so delicious!!! According to which state in Mexico you're visiting you'll find different ways to eat corn and also different names for it. I hope this was helpful 😊 we're always on an on going feud between states of how it should really be eaten AND CALLED but I'm sure you'll love it anywhere. 😊 Mahalo for sharing!! Looking forward to visiting the island 🤙
We agree with you guys about the Giovannis Shrimp Truck in Kahuku - 1 star maximum! We ordered one of each of the boiled shrimp dishes and we were TOTALLY underwhelmed and disappointed with them all - why they get SO much hype is beyond us. We ate half and threw the rest in the bin. Zero infusion of any actual flavours, tastes or spices - just meh... Service was akin to a Seinfeld 'Soup Nazi' experience. Hot/Spicy shrimp - simply VERY 'chilli sauce' hot - but no actual 'flavours'/spices - tasteless 0/5 Garlic shrimp - simply very strong garlic - but no actual 'flavours'/spices - tastless 1/5 Lemon Butter Shrimp - simply strong butter - but no actual 'flavours'/spices - tasteless 1/5 Note: All shrimp only come with the shell on - so the 'taste' you get is only on the shell itself not on the shrimp meat inside. Thanks for the honest review guys - glad to know your experience was the same as ours. :)
Anything you add garlic to would taste better. There are other places with amazing garlic shrimp so we think it's not worth it to stay in line for 1.5h just for a lunch plate. We are not fans for Leonard's either.
@@MontanaGMama Leonard's food truck is not good, go to their original location brick & mortar shop close to Waikiki (get the original malasadas, and maybe 1 or 2 li hing mui flavor) but get the original at least half a dozen for yourself!
Like Giovanni's, Leonard's is Over-hyped...IMO. Whenever have a craving for malasada-type pastries, much rather prefer Kilani Bakery, Pa'ala'a Kai Bakery or Kamehameha Bakery. And if you're craving for shrimp, in general, Jenny's Shrimp Truck/Big Wave Shrimp are right across the street from each other, in Haleiwa=Better tasting +shorter lines
I LOVE Giovanni’s. There spicy is spicy but not overly spicy. Also the scampi is amazing! That’s the one spot I have to hit up every time we go to Oahu
I went to Giovannis shrimp a few days and I was so exited to eat the food there because of the videos I have seen and the good reviews and the most famous dish is “garlic shrimp” I really did not enjoy it in my opinion nether did my daughter and my husband liked it.
That food truck is the most popular on the island that is why the line takes over an hour. We do not have to like overly hyped truck. Kahuku does have the best food trucks.

Idky everyone loves Giovanni so much. It's not that great. I'm glad someone was finally honest about it lol. Great video. Very informational!
We say the same thing, they rave over it. But I guess it's just one of those things where you're convinced before you even try it. Thank you for watching.
Giovannis is the most over rated place to eat.
Honos is my favorite one.

in Texas we roast the corn with the husk on and then peel it out then put all those same thing on it

Thank you for this review

Also at Kahuku Sugar Mill...Ry's Poke Shack, Taro Hut, Seven Brother's, Eighty Chicken Sandwiches & Kalena's Hut. Some places take card/on-line payment$ but ca$h i$ alway$ King!
Thanks so much! I plan to use his information in the near future.
You guys are cute and matching! 💕

Seriously thought this was Arod! 😂
😂😂😂it is
The Best Food Truck in all Hawaii is on the road to Hana called Braddah Hutts BBQ, right after Kaihalulu Beach (Red Sand Beach).
We eat there, it’s killa and massive portions. The only issue is they close early.
If you watch our Road to Hana playlist you’ll see we stopped there
@@Livingtheglobe yes, they closed at 3 PM because they're in the middle of "nowhere".
@@Livingtheglobe I need to find that playlist later, I live in Paia
And they sell out quick!
great reviews, but at the BBQ corn, your background music was way too loud that drowned out his voice.
Mahalo!
Is this place open now during covid?
Yes
The shrimp scampi plate is good. What’s nasty is Leonard’s
Anything you add garlic to would taste better. There are other places with amazing garlic shrimp so we think it's not worth it to stay in line for 1.5h just for a lunch plate. We are not fans for Leonard's either.
@@Livingtheglobe what do you not like about Leonard's? We are planning a 2/22 trip
You should go buy malasadas at their shop on Kapahulu, I don't like their food truck either.
@@MontanaGMama Leonard's food truck is not good, go to their original location brick & mortar shop close to Waikiki (get the original malasadas, and maybe 1 or 2 li hing mui flavor) but get the original at least half a dozen for yourself!

What are the best gluten free or allergen friendly places to eat?
hmmm you would need to look for it specifically, there are some gluten free items here and there
You must be a Royal Hawaiian!
😂😂😂
Hey guys. Your background music is way too loud that we can't hear you speak. We had to let u know cos we watch it channel alot. Cheers
Thanks! ❤️ We’ll be mindful moving forward🤙🏽
I LOVE Giovanni’s. There spicy is spicy but not overly spicy. Also the scampi is amazing! That’s the one spot I have to hit up every time we go to Oahu
I tried calling them but they phone number isn’t working. Do you happen to know the hours of this place now during covid time?
Where did you try calling?
I went to Giovannis shrimp a few days and I was so exited to eat the food there because of the videos I have seen and the good reviews and the most famous dish is “garlic shrimp” I really did not enjoy it in my opinion nether did my daughter and my husband liked it.
How was Papi's Tacos and Mike's Huli Huli Chicken?
We didn't have papi's taco we were too stuffed, BUT Mike's Huli chicken was the BOMB!!!!
Love this Channel. I’ll would have given the shrimp truck ZERO STARS .
Thank you Cris, we truly appreciate it. We considered it lol
We too tried each shrimp dish at Giovannis and agree Zero Stars - not sure why the crazy hype about their shrimp.
I order 4 stars regularly at Thai restaurants but that shrimp is too spicy. It's like they wanted to make it as hot as possible. Regardless of flavor
totally agree
Ya, ate at Giovanni’s in Haleiwa. Thumbs down. Disappointed.
'best food trucks' preceeds to show the 1 star plates.. clearly havent had don't trust these guys
That food truck is the most popular on the island that is why the line takes over an hour. We do not have to like overly hyped truck. Kahuku does have the best food trucks.
you shouldvetried romys shrimpshack the best garlickshrimpon the island
Thank you, next time 😃
Locals never eat that crap.
They do and they love it
Total rip off!
Agreed!
