Zane’s Simply Shrimp

Don’t recommend this place. Over charges all of his food and drinks. Very disrespectful to his customers and takes advantage of tourists who are not familiar with the pricing. Not worth paying for at all.

Didn’t have the experience everyone else seems to have had. It was pleasant service, the food was great. The pineapple shrimp was delicious, lightly battered, crisp even with the sauce and a large serving. The garlic shrimp (the husband’s order) was a decent level of garlic (coming from a man that says there’s never enough garlic that’s saying something).
No flies to be seen, the trucks tables had the penny in a bag of water trick that my grandmother swore by.

First food truck experience in the North Shore. This place was tasty. I had the sweet chili shrimp and my husband had the garlic shrimp. We were happy with both. As for the customer service, the older man (that a lot of the reviews mentioned in previous) I don’t think that he is necessarily a rude guy. I made it a point to say please and thank you and he was nice enough. I think possibly people come with a preconceived notion or an «I’m in a hurry» attitude and that is why he is how he is. We even had the opportunity to watch the cook feed the cats and chickens shrimp. It was a great little place.

It’s my first time to Hawaii and wanted to try the famous North Shore shrimp. I went here ’cause Giovanni’s was busy and their shrimp was peel and eat which I didn’t want to deal with. I’ve had better shrimp scampi at Red Lobster but it was good enough for 4 stars. My wife had the fish and chips which were really good. The fish just melts in your mouth. One bad thing about the shrimp is that he put bread crumbs or something in the sauce, I guess to make it stick and it wasn’t mentioned on the menu so if you are GF ask to see if he can do without it.

First time to Oahu with family and was just driving around island. Saw a bunch of food trucks and decided to stop so glad we did. Top notch fish tacos I had and fish and chips wife had since fort Bragg in Cali. These are must haves. Only draw back is the parking.

I do not recommend Zanes to anyone. My family and I decided to go here because Hono’s was closed (we probably would’ve been better off driving all the way to Kahuku instead). Hono’s is by far the best truck over there, even compared to Giovanni’s. Giovanni’s is ok if you’re a tourist and want to eat there just because it’s popular, but I’m telling you Hono’s is the way to go.
But anyway, Zanes on the other hand is way over priced with bad customer service. The plates are super flimsy, drinking from the actual can of soda is unthinkable because it’s so filthy, and good luck asking for an extra napkin or fork.
Just like alllll the other reviews on here (none of us are exaggerating) the man there is rude, unhappy with his job, and doesn’t hesitate to yell at paying customers. Don’t waste your time or money coming here.

The good news: First time I was here was great, the Thai Chili Lime Shrimp are really good. A lady was working and she gave a Kama’Aina discount after our conversation revealed we are local.
The bad news: I brought my family here from the mainland and an old white guy was working. He was an asshole, he didn’t give the discount when I asked (he said ‘we don’t have one’), and he intentionally overcharged us and didn’t want to change the price when I pointed it out.
The food was still good, but I probably won’t go there again. This place is in the same parking lot as five other restaurants, treat your customers better, you joker.

The old guy at the counter is rude and un-​professional. He didn’t want to give me two forks so I could share the food with my mother. The older lady that usually runs the window when I go is amazing. If the lady is running the window I say go. if the man is running the window hit up another truck, there are plenty of options.

Only came here because the line at Giovanni’s was too long. What a mistake that was! First it took 30 minutes for my order to be taken (although I was only the third person in line). The guy who works there is the rudest person I’ve ever met. On top of it all, he overcharged me, but I realized it only later. The food– shrimp scampi– was so bland, nothing to write home about. Just an awful experience overall. Skip this truck and eat somewhere else.

The owner was rude and nasty when he messed up my order. He did not want to fix the order. The coconut shrimp was burnt.

The fish and chips are amazing! The batter is so crisp and not soggy with oil. The fish and shrimp is so crisp and the fish just breaks off so nicely. The best fish and chips with shrimp I’ve had!

I cannot rave enough about Zane’s Simply Shrimp! We had amazing customer service (and the lady helping us gave my police officer dad the military discount, which is so generous!). We got two orders of garlic butter shrimp and two orders of coconut shrimp and they were both good beyond words. I don’t even like shrimp and this was so, so good. Flavorful and cooked just right. We also got the order of onion rings, and they were DELICIOUS. My hint would be order everything to share because portion sizes are large.

We went to Zane’s because the line at Giovanni’s was crazy long. Well the reason the line isn’t long here is because the food is ok and the service is dismal at best. The counter man was grumpy and had no tolerance for questions.

Just like a lot of other reviews, old. man serving there is rude. Food is ok, but doesn’t compensate for the service.
The wait was about 20 minutes. Lots of people were concerned about how long the wait would be. old man pretends to look at the order number and says «10, 15 min».
When the food same, I asked for extra plates and forks. He hance 1 plate and fork. I asked for some more, he said «BS, I already gave you enough». I would say, avoid this place

My favorite food/​shrimp truck every time I’m in the area I need to go to Zanes hahah, it’s seriously amazing and the lady is the absolute sweetest as for the reviewers talking about the grumpy man I’ve never had a issue with him he’s always nice to me and my husband and we love watching him feed the kitties he takes care of them even though they aren’t his. I’ve tried almost all their plates and I can’t say anything bad about them the garlic one is my favorite and the cook puts extra garlic on my rice and its soooo yummy way better than Giovanni’s for sure. They also have a military discount. I can’t wait till I’m in the area again so I can have Zanes!

I should have gone somewhere else!!! All I have to say is that I WISH I had read the reviews before I went to this place. Everyone before me was so Correct! I don’t usually give a place 1 star unless they really deserve it!
The old man that works there is horrible. He is grumpy and just plain RUDE. We had driven from Wikiki Beach with a rental for over 2 hours site seeing. We saw a circle of food trucks and decided to stop. Worst mistake!
After ordering food, I asked the older man at the window for a cup of water and extra ketchup, after spending $ 25 on a few plates, and he wouldn’t give it too us, and gave us attitude after because of it. There are so many other places around that you can go and eat. TRUST ME, don’t make my same mistake of going to this disgusting place!

This was by far the worst experience I every had on island. My wife experienced discrimination by the old guy that work at this truck. He treated the customer in front of her nice and when it was her turn he was very unprofessional. She asked him two question. how many shrimp come with the fish and chips and what kind of fish was it. He caught a attitude and screamed get out of here. She ask why what did she do? He screamed again get out of here. When she came over and told me she was very upset and bothered. I then went over and ask the guy what happen between him and my wife and why did he tell her to get away from his truck. He told me she was asking to many questions and he did have time to answer them. So i told him that does not get you the right to scream at my wife. I told him this is a food truck and he has to answer questioned from customers. That’s good customer service. He told me he has the right to refuse service to anyone he wants. After this happened I read the comments everyone has wrote and I really wish we could have experienced the same service as you all.

Piece of crap, overpriced, overrated, shrimp. Rude, anti-​aloha, grumpy grampa can’t hear, can’t get the order right. Get off the island, you old fart. Go to Giovanni’s. Yummy!

The only reason this place is getting one star is because you can’t give it no stars! The crusty old fart that was taking orders was the rudest person I have ever met in the food industry. It took 20 minutes for an order of fish and chips. When I picked my order up he dropped my plate down on the counter and I asked him if I could please have some ketchup so he grabs a little cup of ketchup and puts it on top of my food. Then I asked him if they had tarter sauce… he slams both hands on the counter and leans forward like he’s trying to intimidate me, lets out a pissed off sigh and says CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING ELSE! as he threw the container on my plate. If I hadn’t paid $ 13.61 for the food I would’ve picked it up and threw it back in his face.
I went to sit down and there was an Asian family sitting at my table and I expressed how rude the guy was and they asked me where I went. It told them and they said they originally went there but he was so rude to them so they went to another wagon. He tried to charge them $ 95 and stood there yelling at them that they were adding wrong. The total only came to $ 75 (yes…$ 75 at a chip wagon for 2 adults and 2 children!) Another girl was walking by and heard us talking and she said he yelled at her too.
To top off this bad experience the food was so disgusting. The fries looked like they had been sitting in oil for about 6 hours and the fish was so greasy and had no flavor. I ended up throwing more than half of it away.

If the old man is at the counter window, just keep walking. He’s rude to his customers and obviously HATES what he does for a living.
On the other hand, if there is a woman at the window, stop and order some coconut shrimp and calamari! This place would get 5 stars from me if it wasn’t for the rude man behind the counter. I’ve been to this truck MANY times and he never fails to be rude and drive customers away.
Last time I waited 15 minutes in line just to place my order only to be told to go away because they were so backed up with orders waiting. If given the option, I would have gladly waited! The rude old man turned me away, even though he saw me waiting in line for some time. TERRIBLE customer service.
See a sweet woman in the window? Stop and eat! She’s super sweet and even remembers her routine customers.
