I learned about this place in the Hawaiian Airlines "Hana Hou" magazine and HAD to check it out. The shoyu poke WAS SO GOOD! I live in town, but my wife and I want to head out to Kahuku again just for this!

We arrived at our condo in Turtle Bay resort in the evening and we were directed here to get some grocery shopping done. We just needed to get some simple food staples. It was ridiculously expensive and very few choices. Think 7-Eleven. I paid $9 for a small bottle of mayonnaise. They were selling Costco toilet paper (and other Costco items) broken out into smaller quantities. Just drive a little further down the road to Laie and go to the Foodland grocery store. Do yourself a favor and do not buy groceries here. I feel like I was tricked. I should have walked out without buying anything but we had just arrived in Hawaii after flying all day and I had no idea what else was open or what the other options were. I am ashamed of myself.

There are two Gio Shrimp up in the north, we went to this one, there is another one at the town of Haleiwa. Not really sure which one is the original? We choose this one because we are fans of Terrace house and they went to this one. Best garlic shrimp ever, well worth the drive up to the north for this. We did get there around 5pm so there really wasn't a line up there only one group infront of us, we got our shrimp in less than 5 minutes. The next day we pass by Haleiwa and there was a line up of at least 30 people around noon. Go when its a bit later on in the day. Even if there is a line up, the shrimp itself is awesome, but it might dampers your enjoyment having to wait 30 minutes in a food truck for shrimp. PS: like every other review say, just go with the scampi, don't bother with the others.

Read reviews thinking this was a great place. Garlic Shrimp was no better than what I have had in Montana. Not sure why the hype. Wonât be stopping next time

Went in 2012 with family, as I saw it on the Travel Channel. Food was excellent. Great seafood freshly caught. Loved the old surfboards hanging all over. Just like a nice beach spot joint back home, but with great food!

Try Tita's grill bread, it is so yummy and filling. One slice is great, one loaf, even better. Toasted, sandwich, dunk in hot cocoa, limitless ways to enjoy this loaf of bread. Come back anytime for more of our fresh baked bread. Mahalo!

This place was crazy bad on service.First... this place wasnât busy, yet it took 30 minutes to get food ordered. Second... the server at the window kept on disappearing. Although we didnât say anything, others in the queue were very vocal in their disapproval.Third... they took the order wrong. We ordered a Spencer with fries, drink, salad and veggie with fries and salad. This is what we repeated back to the server. What arrived was a Shem burger _without_ fries. Wrong burger. The restaurants error and they REFUSED TO PUT IT RIGHT. âI am not the managerâ is not an excuse - find the manager. âYou can stand in line and order your friesâ is also not acceptable when the queue is 30 minutes long. The correct way is you bring out the missing order.Itâs a shame we canât take the tip back, because we certainly didnât get the service or food we requested.Bottom line ... we would not go back. Just not worth it.

The Garlic Chicken was the best I've ever had. If you are looking for a "fine dining" experience, ambience, etc. this is not the place. This local eatery has outdoor picnic tables in the parking lot but serves the best food around. Extremely generous portions, fresh and hot with tasty seasonings. It soon became one of our "go to" places while we were in Hauula. Can't wait to get back!

This restaurant is one of the few sit down restaurants on the North Shore. Food trucks seems to be the go to. It is located adjacent to the Polynesian Cultural Center. BE ADVISED...the local area, which seems to respect the huge Mormon presence, ie BYU Hawaii campus and the Mormon temple..is DRY. They do not sell nor serve alcoholl at this restaurant or even sell it at the local supermarket. So there is no bar. We had great service from Ploy and that was appreciated. We started with a bacon, grape ranch salad and it was good size and served both us. My wife and I ordered the Macadamia Nut Mahi...what a disappointment...I am not even sure we got mahi.The fish we got was dark, dense and fishy. We had Mahi at the Turtle Bay resort 2 days later and it was flaky, white and fresh. To add insult to injury, the steamed vegetable accompanying the meal were lukewarm. The best sit down meals are at Turtle Bay. They have a bar. You pay a bit more, but the quality is there.

Iâm pretty sure itâs not the same place as in the movie. It looks completely different. The views from the windows are definitely different. Itâs seat yourself breakfast comfort food. The service was really friendly and accommodating for kids. Other than that, itâs nothing to right home about. If you want breakfast itâll fill the void, but I wouldnât go out of my way to eat here. Cash only, but they have an ATM in the restaurant.

This place was great and friendly, we were visiting a friend in Hawaii and we came upon this place and we sat down and ate steak and eggs. OMG the steak melted in my mouth, and the gentlemen came out and talked with us and gave us a loaf of bread that was out of this world. We game back every day that we were there to eat. They gave us chocolate/rice drink that went very well with your meal or by itself. I tried to find out how the bread was made, but thats a Hawaiian Secrete. I just finished the last of the bread here in Florida and my friends asked me where I got it, Hawaii. They cook with their heart, and do a good job. Enjoy your meal and the company. You too will brag :-)
