Jumped straight into the hot and spicy . It was good. But, had to order the scampi halfway through because I couldn't handle the heat (and I'm usually fine with spicy ).

Angelica Aleman

Hot & Spicy with garlic on rice is the only way to go. Best shrimp in North Shore. The one in Kahuku has shorter lines and gives you more hot sauce and garlic on your plate!

Melissa Yee

Shrimp scampi was def the best. Spicy one has a kick but manageable (they’ve toned it down). Only complaint is that the shrimps are usually kinda small

Tomiana DeBellis

Get the shrimp scampi and be happy in your garlicky bliss. Ask for hot sauce on the side (no refunds if you get the hot shrimp plate ...it's hot!). Watch for pieces of shell in your garlic sauce .

Roxanne Robles

Get the Original Shrimp Scampi (add hot sauce on the side if you like spicy things). AMAZING! I had to eat this twice while I was here.

Marissa K

Delicious shrimp . But be prepared to be attacked by baby flies if you sit at a picnic table . Truly a country experience ????

Olga Doykhen

Best shrimp truck in the island ! Shrimp scampi and lemon butter , ask for spicy sauce on the side. Worth every penny. Delicious!

Spencer Brownell

Shrimp Scampi ! Hot sauce is HOT! Get it on the side if you like it spicy . Delicious and messy!

Doug Nelson

I thought it was hype until I ate there! We tried a less busy place and was disappointed. The line was big but tried the real deal. It is!

Ailie Chang

Get the original garlic shrimp scampi with the hot sauce on the side! Get here early because they close at 5pm!

Michelle Hadi

MUST TRY!! Delicious and authentic !! Get the garlic shrimp scampi and lemon butter . Can't go wrong cause it lives up to the tourist hype!

T

Get the Scampi and extra napkins

Connor Montgomery

Worth the wait. Get the shrimp scampi with a side of hot sauce !

Jan Rosenberg

The best food I had on Oahu. Garlic shrimp is the thing!

Van Holmes

The garlic shrimp were the best! Huge shrimp served in 1 pound portions. Had to get an extra plate to go.

Nenzo Cruz

Excellent garlic scampi for sure - but taking everything into account , the 14$ plates are overpriced. Be prepared to be swarmed by hordes of flies. Also bring wet wipes,there are no washing stations.

Oh My Nay

The garlic shrimp was okay, don't really see what the hype is all about, it's just plain ol' shrimp with A LOT of minced garlic . The macaroni salad on the other hand is my fav on the island so far!

Simon Tan

Very garlic-ky and buttery shrimp . Expect a line . There are other food trucks /shops/beach to check out in the area.

John Dye

Half scampi (most popular) and half lemon & butter is great. I can't handle the heat!

Angelica Dongallo

Shrimp Scampi , for sure. The hot and spicy didn't do it for me--it was a good amount of heat, but too much like Tabasco (sour!)

Harpreet Tsui

Get the hot and spicy shrimp ! It's really hot but has the best flavor! So worth the trip!

Jorge amorim

Happy you enjoyed it marissa... We are always working on the fly issue and will continue to do so into the future....

J D

This place had the longest line of all the food trucks . The shrimp scampi &Mac salad was good but not worth the drive from Waikiki. I'm sure there are places much closer that taste just as good.

Jorge amorim

Perfectly said to all future customers Roxanne.... Happy you enjoyed and hope to see you again in the future....

Rushi Gandhi

Excellent sautéed shrimp !

Wildcat

Great food truck stop . Shrimp was fantastic.

Janice Torda

Garlic shrimp plate is the best!!!

Sae H

Garlic shrimps???? Very good taste!!

Greg W.

Shrimp Scampi - Garlic Hot Dog also AMAZING

Jorge amorim

Letting everyone know that Giovanni's will be at the Ho'olaulea festival on kalakaua ave. in Waikiki on September 21, 2013.... See you there...

Allison Kaminski

Amazing food truck !!! Get the spicy shrimp for sure!

Paull Young

Go half scampi / half lemon butter . Steak & green beans from the truck across the way quite good too,

Jorge amorim

Thank you for the honest review and hope to see you again in the future...

Renata Botelho

Food was really good! Not sure if was worth the wait, though..

Jorge amorim

That is very good advice J.H..... It can be very strong for most people... Take care..

Christine Hwang

Get the shrimp scampi + lemon butter on the side!

Roger Ma

Shrimp scampi is a must have!

Emily Leung

Stick with the original garlic shrimp scampi that blew your mind away--Giovanni's! Famous for a reason.

Jorge amorim

We think so as well Alice and are happy you enjoyed it....

Jorge amorim

Thank you for letting me know about the mistake... I will make sure to make the change...

David Vonderhaar

Aloha! Sit at someone else's tables to value biting flies.

Jorge amorim

Sorry to hear you feel that way James... It is very expensive to do business in Hawaii... Enjoy the island ..

Jorge amorim

We from Giovanni's thank you for the kind words and hope to see you back in the future.

Jorge amorim

The don't know what your saying Daewook, but I hope it is good... Hope to see you again in the future.

Luis Manalo

Don't forget to sign the truck and buy a shirt !

Ting

Spicy shrimp was great but could have been spicier.

Andrei Marfievici

Extremely overrated! Mike's Shrimp Trunk is way, way better and have more options including huli huli chiken. The hot dog was DELICIOUS for a change.

Jorge amorim

It is very spicy Calvin... Did you try the scampi shrimp ...

Jorge amorim

Don't judge a book by it's cover Adam B... Glad you enjoyed the shrimp truck .

Todd Shirasago
