Decided to spend a few days on the north east side of the island, near Hauula and the PCC. Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations?

It's not far away unless you want the shrimp trucks but here's one.

Romy's is fantabulous!

Giovanni's truck has ooolala garlic shrimp!

Here's a good ole' thread:

Aloha!

We spent a week in the area last year. Our favorite little place to eat was Papa Ole's Kitchen. Particularly good for breakfast. Not fancy. Ate outside on picnic tables.
For something nicer we enjoyed a cocktail and pupus at the outdoor bar at Turtle Bay Resort. Way too expensive for what you get, but the view of the ocean and close-in surfers was worth the price.
