My first time in this place my boyfriend took me here. I had garlic butter shrimp and the other one is spicy. My boyfriend has spicy squid. It was fresh and delicious I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to go back.

Food is good. Service is self serve. Atmosphere: immerse in nature There were chickens and cats for your company. Trust me they aren't afraid of humans, a cat was came just next to my plate and was about to digin to some shrimps if wasn't looking. We had to move to another table as they weren't ready to leave. 😂 coconut and butter garlic shrimps are awesome. Spicy garlic shrimp is also good, we ordered some mahi as well. Only thing is they dont remove skin of shrimp and Keep some mint gums or your family will stay away from you rest of the day. 🤣🤣

A local and a pair of NYCers optimistic and generally bright eyed for amazing food experiences. We unfortunately did not enjoy this spot as we had hoped and wanted to share our first experience. The shrimp took effort to peel as it was mushy and overcooked. Disappointing to find that almost every shrimp was not deveined completely. Flavor was buttery and oily. Our mistake was not clarifying the cut of meat they were charging $15 for a steak plate. It looked and tasted like cheap cuts of beef, certainly needed more A1 sauce. When it’s seasoned good. it shouldn’t need extra sauce. Service wasn’t inviting as the cashier appeared inpatient and nonchalant for any questions. Best time to go to Kahuku is early - places sell out and think in terms of freshness.
