Da Bald Guy Reviews
We arrived 15 minutes before they close, only 2 menu items were left, Garlic Butter Shrimp or Cajun Butter Shrimp. We picked the most popular one Garlic Butter Shrimp. Great Choice! My hubby keep saying that lol. The shrimps are firm and springy. Highly recommend.
We made the trip out to north shore just to try the food trucks and we were very curious about this place! We were craving garlic shrimp and I'm happy to report that the two shrimp options on the menu was perfect for our group of 4 to share! Me and my husband got the spicy Cajun garlic shrimp and it was so delicious, I could eat the garlic sauce with just the rice by itself! I thought the portions were big but the amount of rice they provide is on the heavier side I must say. If you're in the area, def take some time to explore the other trucks and vendors out that area as well! We would definitely be back.
Da Bald Guy has been on my list of spots to have for a long time, but for some reason never made the drive out to go try. Now I've had it (they were at Honolulu night market in Kaka'ako) and I'm committed to driving across the island for their food regularly. The ribeye was SO good, it's ruined some of our regular local spots because it just doesn't compare. The cook on it, the sauce - everything was exceptional. We also had the spicy pan fried poke. It was SO good. Gotta shout out the mac salad too. Perfect companion with the others. So thankful I beat the rush at the night market, scoped them out an hour later and the line was ridiculous. I absolutely cannot wait to dive in again.
Da best... One guy had been on my list it's Da Bald Guy and thanks to Honolulu Night Market in Kaka'ako it's been checked off. Though not my first experience enjoying his dishes it was through an event that I've been lucky to enjoy but I really wanted to get my hands on his plate. On this night he surely didn't disappoint with choices of Pan Fried Poke (spicy or regular), Chopped Rib Eye Steak, Boneless Braised Kalbi and Butter Garlic Shrimp (Spicy or Regular) and though I had intent of getting the Rib Eye it was the Pan Fried Poke since I haven't tried it yet and regular with aioli. With basically no wait as I watched in awe Da Bald Guy making it all along side staff finishing with sauce and garnishes was a very well developed system. The rice was cooked perfectly with a slight bite like you'd enjoy on a sushi so the ride home didn't get it all soggy and was still in prime bites. In the midst of the Night Market and the long lines the vibe was amazing and so was my plate. Thank you!
We came here wanting to try the shrimp but then decided to also try the galbi and salmon so we ordered all three! And wow the best dish was the galbi hands down. The meat was so tender and delicious! Would highly recommend this dish!! The shrimp was good but I personally would rather eat at a dif shrimp truck. The shrimp comes peeled, which was very nice! The salmon was good but covered in lots of sauce.. I could only take a few bites before it became way too much. We came on a weekday morning and didn't have to wait at all! The food also out pretty fast, but it wasn't busy. There's also not much seating, so something to keep in mind.
