Oahu, Hawaii is the hidden food gem of the United States. My family and I try to visit Oahu every year to get away from our homes and spend some time with each other. Through our many vacations, these three cuisines have brought my family and I the most joy and comfort through their great services and hospitality.
Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck- Tasty Shrimp Caught Off The Coast!
Giovanni’s shrimp truck is the best food truck on the island. During our second visit to Oahu, a few locals recommended this food truck to us and now I recommend this spot to you! Giovanni’s is known for their phenomenal garlic shrimp scampi covered in seasoning that melts in your mouth every bite. For those who are not shrimp lovers, Giovanni’s also serves their garlic hotdog, which is just as amazing. This location is cash only, but if you forget, there is an ATM down the street in a corner market!
La Pina Cantina- Fish Tacos and Tequila!
After a long day in the sun, my favorite place to wind down is La Pina Cantina. La Pina has a youthful ambiance with fun music and drink options. The first time we visited, our server was very eager to learn where we were from and gave us great recommendations on places to visit during our trip. The restaurant has new Margarita flavors and fresh fish daily!
Kono’s North Shore- Kalua Pork Heaven
Kono’s North Shore has a variety of food on their menu; the slow-cooked kalua pork is by far my favorite. The best way to eat this is in a breakfast burrito stuffed with their homemade pineapple chili salsa. This restaurant goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. The owner loves to hear stories of where you are from and always gives a warm welcome. When we visit Kono’s, it is more than an exchange of money and food; it feels like speaking with family and receiving a home-cooked meal.
Each restaurant has brought my family an indescribable emotion while dining. The hospitality received when walking into each establishment makes every meal and memory priceless. I hope that one of these food selections I have provided brings you as much joy as they have my family and I!
