Review by Kellen Satterfield

September 11, 2024

Sam's Kitchen is a must-visit while in Waikiki! 🌺 The garlic shrimp truly lives up to its reputation - an explosion of flavor without being overwhelmingly garlicky. I paired it with the fish of the day and was thoroughly impressed.

The combination of white rice and mac salad was a great touch! The outdoor seating offered a relaxed vibe, perfect for soaking up the Hawaiian atmosphere. Fast service and generous portions are definitely a win. 🦐 Just be mindful of the tails on the shrimp!

While it leans on the pricier side, the deliciousness is worth it. I can't wait to return! 🍽️
