What to say that hasn’t been said a million times. If you are on Oahu you have to go to the North Shore and have garlic shrimp at Giovanni’s.

The food was decent. I got the shrimp scampi but it wasn't the best I've had. I hones like the garlic hot dog better. The service was good the lady was nice and funny. The atmosphere was fun. It is in a little food truck plaza. Paid like 2 bucks for parking. I enjoyed all the chickens running around.

We stopped by yesterday as we've heard so much about this place. Although the atmosphere was vibing with fast service, the food had changed my mind. Presentation was impressive, until i took my first bite... the rice was extra crunchy because it was only half-cooked. The only redeeming quality was the scampi shrimp, which was the only thing we could eat, but in the end, it was too salty alone by itself. I was so upset and disappointed over this meal, I couldn't believe this place was so hyped with such inconsistent quality. I don't recommend this place. And I hate to leave a low review, but that's how upset I was over this meal.

It’s pretty overrated for what it is. The shrimp are fresh but the lemon butter shrimp plate just lacked flavor. Rice was mushy and I didn’t enjoy it. I liked the food truck art.

My wife ate here this afternoon, and her food made me jealous. Fantastic looking shrimp scampi and amazing north-shore vibes.

This is the place where you can eat delicious garlic shrimp from the North Shore.I'll stop by when I'm on the North Shore.The most popular is SCAMPI, but I tried the hot & spicy one just once to see how spicy it was.Hot & Spicy is not recommended for anyone other than people from countries who regularly consume extremely spicy foods, such as Thais and people living in China's Sichuan province.Order SCAMPI or lemon/butter!There are a lot of flies.Many birds also come close to your seat.So, if you don't like insects or birds, please stop!Vegetarian options: There is no vegetarian menu.Dietary restrictions: There is no menu for dietary restrictions.Parking: It's easy to enter, but when returning to the road from the parking lot, there are many cars speeding, so drive safely and merge!Kid-friendliness: You can also use it with children.However, there are a lot of flies, so I have a hard time getting rid of them from my food, so I don't have time to pay attention to my children's meals.Wheelchair accessibility: The parking lot is gravel and has some steps, making it difficult to use if you are in a wheelchair.
Title: A Taste of Shrimp Paradise: Giovanni's Shrimp Truck in Hale'iwaNestled along the sun-kissed shores of Hale'iwa, Giovanni's Shrimp Truck stands as a beacon of culinary delight, drawing in hungry travelers and locals alike with promises of shrimp-induced euphoria. On a recent excursion to this North Shore gem, I had the pleasure of indulging in their famed shrimp scampi, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember.From the moment I caught a whiff of the savory aroma wafting from the truck, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere was electric, with the sound of sizzling shrimp filling the air and the tantalizing scent of garlic beckoning me closer. As I approached the counter, my mouth watered in anticipation of the feast that awaited.The presentation was simple yet enticing, with plump shrimp nestled atop a bed of buttery garlic goodness. With eager anticipation, I took my first bite, and my taste buds erupted in a symphony of flavor. The shrimp were succulent and tender, each bite bursting with the freshness of the sea.But it was the sauce that truly stole the show. Creamy, rich, and infused with the perfect balance of garlic and butter, it coated each shrimp in a velvety embrace that left me craving more with every bite. Paired with a generous helping of steamed rice and a sprinkle of parsley, it was a culinary masterpiece that left me utterly satisfied.As I savored each mouthful, I couldn't help but marvel at the magic unfolding before me. Giovanni's Shrimp Truck had managed to elevate a simple dish to new heights, transforming shrimp scampi into a sensory adventure that danced across the palate with unparalleled finesse.In conclusion, Giovanni's Shrimp Truck in Hale'iwa is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a taste of shrimp paradise. With its vibrant atmosphere, mouthwatering dishes, and unparalleled hospitality, it's a culinary experience that will linger in your memory long after the last shrimp has been devoured. So grab a seat, dig in, and prepare to be transported to shrimp heaven at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck.

Giovanni’s is such a fun experience! The line is usually pretty long - this is normal. The wait is worth it! Hot sauce is great to get “on the side” for dipping as it is pretty spicy. There are not a ton of seats, but people usually finish eating pretty quickly and move on. I would definitely go back to Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck!Parking: The parking lot is small and fills up quick.
