Let me start off by saying the Shrimp was exceptional.
However, while I found the shrimp to be very good (especially the coconut shrimp), each platter comes only with rice and a basic green salad. The rice is plentiful, moist and flavored with garlic butter, but the salad is a basic green salad. I didn't try the "extras" such as grilled pineapple and macadamia nuts. But, the choice of sides and options is limited.
And while the servings of rice and salad are enough to share, there are no options to simply order additional shrimp, without ordering an entire platter.
Price was fair and reasonable... considering that the menu revolves around shrimp. And the shrimp were moderate in size (probably 31/35 count).
Once again, all of the flavors of shrimp were excellent (I tried the Sampler), but a little more choice in sides would be nice. Offering a "shrimp only" option and additional sides might also expand Coco Shrimp's appeal to a broader base.
This place lives up to the hype..... If this is fast food I don't wanna know what they could do with 20mins of sit down. Thoroughly enjoyed my sampler, the shrimp was all cooked perfectly, seasoned well and the rice and salad balance it all out. To be honest, I liked the idea of the full salad more after I took my first bite with the wonderful house made vinaigrette.
It was delicious, an idea for improvement, I would like to see chopped dates in the salad, instead of the dried cranberries loaded with sugar. The dates would take it to the throne. 💪💪💪
The food was good, they have a food truck out front and I wonder if they actually started as a food truck business. I had the Coco Shrimp "plate" with rice and a salad, the Poppyseed vinaigrette dressing is good but strong so only a little is needed. The Salad has dried cranberries so it's very flavorful. the Coco Shrimp is what most will expect, and It's a good version, I didn't use the dipping sauce because I didn't feel it was needed. As with most Shrimp dishes I would have like 1 or 2 more shrimp, but some of the shrimp on my plate were pretty large, so I left happy. Overall their menu is pretty simple, and the atmosphere is fun and appropriate. I will bring friends next time I visit
Came back again during a business trip. Still amazing. I love this place. If I lived here I'd eat here regularly. Ordered the same combo plate and it was awesome! Shrimp even seemed bigger than before. Also ordered grilled pineapple which was a nice addition.
If you want a total Hawaiian dining experience, come here. Great food and great vibes!
I imagine an addiction when I think about the compulsive desire to keep doing or trying something. That’s how I’d describe this food experience. I know, a bit over-dramatic, but I was going to say, “Each bite was a taste explosion.” The service was great. Everyone was friendly and inviting. I tried the SAMPLER and wow. IF you love shrimp, you can’t say that any longer unto you’ve tried this, so there is no doubt in your love. The rice has amazing flavor, the salad, I would recommend the poppy seed dressing. Ask for an extra container, trust me.
