I saw an Instagram post of a local food blogger who praised the Shrimp Plate at Blue Seafood in Chinatown. He said it was the bomb and best in Hawaii. Had to venture into Chinatown and walk through the piss smelling streets so I thought this better be good. Entered Maunakea Marketplace to find the place bustling on a Sunday during lunch time. Went to the back of the market and found the seafood stall but they did not serve the Shrimp Plate. The gentlemen behind the counter did not speak English when I asked him about shrimp. Walked back towards the front and went down the alley filled with food stalls. Found Blue Seafood and was greeted by a young gentlemen. Both guys working here were very polite and nice. Ordered the Prawn and Shrimp Plate which set me back $19 plus tip. I asked for the spicy sauce on the side. The Prawns and Shrimp didn't have much taste at all and the sauce had no spice. Was like a sweet Chili Sauce. Cannot believe the food blogger praised this shrimp plate. Made no sense to me or my Wife. Would never order this again but did like the people working here.
