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 — 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.

Romy's Kahuku Prawns & Shrimp is one of the North Shore's most popular shrimp trucks, known for genuinely fresh, large, pond-raised shrimp — but travelers should be told upfront to expect a real wait (30 min–1+ hour) and to call ahead if possible.
