EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. My entire smoothie contained large chunks of PLASTIC blended throughout. At first, I thought it was fruit seeds until it actually hurt when I swallowed. When I opened the cup, I found huge pieces of plastic mixed into the drink. This is completely unacceptable and a serious health hazard. HOW CAN THIS EVEN HAPPEN? Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

The food was tasteless. Hawai?i is my home and this was a disgrace to it. The owners are not native to the islands so the vibes feel appropriated to me. Not worth the high price. The staff was nice and the merch looks cool which is why I?m giving this 2instead of 1 stars. This was a belated review from a few months ago. I think I got the chicken Shaka bowl or something likethat, whatever one of the most popular savory items was but I don?t see that on the menu now so I?m not sure if it?s removed.

I am pretty confused by the bad reviews and comments on the staff. I have witnessed hardworking and kind staff who go above and beyond for customers. They are always helpful, courteous and the food is always amazing This is Hawaiian inspired fusion food.It is not 100% authentic Hawaiian food and that does not make it any less delicious. I love the blend of sweet, tangy and saltyhere. The tacos are like an explosion of flavor. I love how consistent the food is every time I come. The owners are also verynice. Shaka is one of my favorite lunch spots. Now lets work on some liquor or BYOB options please! Haha! :
