But, everyone has different preferences so I say give em a try.ĬASH ONLY. We still would choose Blue Water's over Fumi's though. We are glad that we gave this place a try and at least now we know what the shrimp tastes like. So after shrimp truck #2, the BF and I felt disappointed. I didn't feel that it was worth it for the taste. So it's kind of sweet/spicy/garlic/butter shrimp. The 'spicy' aspect of the dish is actually what I think is Mae Ploy sauce. It wasn't bad but it wasn't all that great. The shrimp are a decent size and you can tell that the QUALITY of the shrimp is great along with the fact that it was cooked perfectly! Alas. Also, there was a pineapple slice which was more of a garnish since it was extremely sour and not sweet. ![]() Maybe if the pieces were smaller and there was a dressing it would've made more sense. As you can see from the picture, there were 5 pieces of romaine lettuce, fairly large pieces, and there was no dressing or offering of a dressing. The plate comes with two scoops of white rice and a salad. Service was SUPER friendly and efficient! We waited about 10 minutes for the plate and it was hot and fresh. Basically the spicy garlic shrimp is the same thing as the garlic butter shrimp but with spice, so we opted to try that one. We were looking at the menu and the Asian female behind the window stated that the garlic butter shrimp and the spicy garlic shrimp were the 2 most popular. We didn't give them a try though.įumi's has pictures of plates as their menu. I did notice a shave ice hole in the wall off to the side near the restroom as well. There is also a sink with soap and paper towels (always a plus!) as well as a restroom (NOT a port-o-potty). There is ample parking and a TON of seating! MANY picnic benches with a huge tarp above to keep you out of the sun (or rain if applicable). We ended up eating at the Fumi's which is located near Romy's, with the shrimp farm behind. I honestly don't know what the different between the two sites are, or if there is a difference. One is very close to Romy's, and the other is a little further down (if you're heading back to Haleiwa). ![]() There are 2 Fumi's shrimp trucks located in Kahuku. Heck, it took an hour to get to this spot, we might as well try TWO shrimp trucks while we're at it! Instead of ordering 2 plates (one for each of us) at the Famous Kahuku Shrimp Wagon, the BF and I shared a plate and then went to Fumi's to share a plate. While there is a lot of shrimp truck competition, Fumi’s holds their own.Moving along our North Shore adventure on the 4th of July. The salad and pineapple, while almost an afterthought, do add a nice dimension to making this a meal instead of just a “rice and shrimp” snack.Īll in all, Fumi’s does exactly what they set out to do: provide quality shrimp at a reasonable price, and doing so with the utmost in shrimp quality. ![]() The spiced garlic butter sauce is a perfect complement for both the shrimp and the rice. The shrimp itself is cooked perfectly, without overcooking or mushiness, for the perfect shrimp texture. The real key here is the shrimp: your order contains a half dozen really large, nicely cleaned and de-veined, but still shell-on shrimp, but the shells are so light and nicely cooked that you can eat them as well. We settled on their most popular item: the hot and spicy garlic shrimp, served up in a rich buttery cayenne and garlic sauce with two big scoops of rice (at times in Hawaii, it’s hard to avoid rice, it’s everywhere), some pineapple wedges, and a small green salad. There’s not a lot of menu options at Fumi’s: it’s basically all shrimp. ![]() But in any case, all of these joints involve shrimp, generally served up in a butter sauce (with optional garlic and hot pepper) alongside some rice. Fumi’s and Romy’s apparently do, at least most of the time, while some of the others (Giovanni’s, in particular) source theirs from salt-water sources, using frozen shrimp. Interestingly, however, the area stands don’t all sort from here. However, it’s obvious why Fumi’s (and their competitor Romy’s, at a near-identical stand a quarter mile down the road) are located here: this stretch of Kahuku consists primarily of shrimp farming, with pond after pond of shrimp ponds in which shrimp are farm raised, and the shrimp stands provide a nice local outlet for the product. We ended up visiting the latter, due to shorter lines and more available seating. The other is a short distance away (walking distance down the Kamehameha Highway) in a converted farm stand. One of them is a shrimp truck between Kahuku and Laie.
