Romy's Kahuku Prawns & Shrimp
North Shore (Kahuku)
One of the most popular shrimp trucks on the North Shore, prized for genuinely fresh, large, pond-raised shrimp and prawns β often served head-on for maximum flavor, per reviewers. The tradeoff for this popularity and freshness is a real wait, commonly 30 minutes to over an hour between ordering and receiving food. Dining is casual outdoor picnic-table style with no restroom facilities on site.
