Sweet mercy this place is my new favorite restaurant. I can't express how good the food is. We walked in and were greeted almost immediately which was so nice. We asked the attendant at the register (unfortunately didn't catch his name) what he recommended because it was our first time in. He recommended the lunch plates and told us the most popular are the Hawaiian BBQ Mix & the BBQ and Katsu Mix. He was extremely helpful throughout the process. My fiance and I ordered the Kalua Combo with chicken katsu get 2 proteins as opposed to 3 just in case it was too much food. Once we received our food it was game over from there. The Kalua pig and katsu looked so fresh like it was just barely made. I mean you can see it in the photo it's just 10/10 stunning. The rice was perfectly cooked and the pasta salad.. lord the pasta salad. I was looking on the menu to see if I could buy another side of it to take home. Not to mention it was such a clean and homey environment. It felt like you could come inside and enjoy a quality meal around good people. I love supporting businesses that you can tell have care and love behind them and that is 100% Shaka. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Seriously just come try it you will not regret it.
This is our second time here and I can safely say this is my fiancées new favorite restaurant! We will be coming back often the katsu and fried fish is amazing! And hand breaded every day!!!
The lemon pepper grilled chicken plate is perfect as a lower sugar option. Good portion of chicken (I’m guessing about 6oz). Comes with rice, mac salads, and cabbage.
Best Hawaiin BBQ in the DFW metro. I lived in the colony for 5 years, this was a go to spot. Moved about an hour away, but still find time to come here. Once you’ve had this place you’ll never return to Mo Bettah, or hawaiin bros. This place is amazing.
I’m from Hawaii and tell you this food is authentic plate lunch style! The owner is very laid back and gives great service. The macaroni salad is the best on the mainland!🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

If you like Hawaiian BBQ done right, Shaka da spot—no miss da short ribs, brah! We goin back soon. Mahalo fo’ one amazing dinna! 🤙🌺”
Will be back, probably too much. The food was great and seemed to all be made in house making it so much better. The service was better then most sit down restaurants too, the guy running the front of the shop even noticed when my wife was done and brought us a bag to take it to go. My only negative would be the parking but with construction and three other restaurants that is understandable, it looks like that will be better soon though.
I got a combo plate ($12.49) with their Hawaiian BBQ chicken and their teriyaki chicken. It was absolutely delicious! It came with two scoops of sticky rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and the chicken itself was on a bed of cabbage. It is open seating, and you can fill your own beverage, and get your own knife, napkins, toothpicks, etc. It is a casual place, which is fine, and had plenty of seating (I didn't count the seats, but I would estimate about 40). Unfortunately, their metal chairs are made for people with really skinny butts (as in children). I'm not fat at all, but the way the back of those seats comes down to the sides of the seat part, it's probably no wider than 12 in. So I had to sit in the front two-thirds of the seat, with my back not touching the back of the chair. I see the same style of chair at other casual dining places, and they aren't comfortable there either (the kind of mid-century, all metal chair you can spray paint any color you want). I would say that the uncomfortable chair was the only negative. On the other hand, if the chairs had been more comfortable, more people might have been eating there, and then there wouldn't have been enough parking.
This is a destination restaurant for my family and I ANYTIME we are even remotely near The Colony. Been eating here for 4 years. We live in Rockwall. This is our favorite Hawaiian food place we’ve ever had. Our order is about $80 everytime for family meal, extra musubi and drinks. Very good for what you get.
Best Hawaiian food in all of DFW. Prices are great and quantity to match. The people there are always nice and welcoming. If I am ever in the area I always stop by there. My kids will only eat Hawaiian if it’s from Shaka.
Ayyeeoooo! This place is 🔥. OFC the moco loco is banging... but i got the "Fire Chicken" (it's not that spicy) and a lil scoop of mac salad and chicken and the seasoned onion/cabbage i. one bite... My Goodness!!! That's what's Fire about it the amount of favor! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟- 6 stars my guy!
If you miss Hawaiian food - this place is where to go! It is authentic and tastey! Way better than the franchise places. Extra special are the Hawaiian Sun drinks - the only place I have seen these availavle in DFW. Definitely worth it to eat here!!!!
This place is as good or better than many places in Hawaii. Way better than the "Hawaiian food" chains that are popping up. They even fly in and sell sell Hawaiian Sun drinks here! We had the kalbi, chicken terayiki, and kalua pork with mac salad, cabbage, and rice - all fantastic.
Had a great experience eating here today! The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Food was absolutely great- and that means a lot having moved here from Hawaii 16 years ago. Kalbi was flavored and cooked perfectly (sweet and savory with a nice char), katsu was crisp, and kalua pork was juicy and flavorful. Surprisingly, the rice was of GOOD QUALITY which other restaurants never seem to understand is very important. Mac salad was on point, too (a bit strong on the onion flavor, but not a deal breaker by any means). Highly recommend stopping by! Large, clean dining area and large portions of food! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK SOON 😃
I live in Oklahoma and my dear sister in the Lord lives around d Dallas, whe spends money out of her pocket every week to feed those in need. She has been offered a break from local restaurants but the discounts were like $1 a plate. This Hawaiian delight helped her out with her ministry this past weekend with their benevolence she got to feed 10 xtra people . I can't wait to go and try them out!
Ordered the family meal for my wife and I; yes 3 entrees and 2 sides for 2 people which was recommended for 4 (we split it into 3 meals lol). Everything was very delicious and all the flavors blended together well. The bbq beef and bbq chicken were very juicy, tender, and well seasoned. The pork was juicy and went really well with teriyaki sauce. The Mac wasn’t overpowered with mayo and had a mild addictive flavor to it.
Been awhile since visiting TX, and surprised to find a Hawaiian cuisine restaurant. No didn't go for poi, nor loco moco. Got the Chk/Beef and Shrimp/Fish combos plus spring rolls. Definitely filling meals, plenty of food and fresh cooked, tasty. The spring rolls were average. Took a bit of a wait for food to be prepared so be aware. Would highly recommend giving a try.
Happened to be in the area and needed to drop something off at the UPS store. Saw this place and said to myself why not check it out asked the wife if she wanted to try it and we agreed. Safe to say this was by far the best food we have had in this style. These portions are Texas sized, no holding back and the customer service was great! I live near Mansfield and I wish they had this place down here would eat here often. They have many size options from family size to mini meals. The macaroni salad is actually enjoyable the rice is sticky as it should be the cabbage is steamed (which I like) and the chicken portion is perfect for a grown man who eats a lot. The appetizers were delicious and a large portion, Homemade sauce. They also sell Hawaiian drinks in a can. The POG juice was delicious
We love Hawaiian plate lunch from Shaka. My husband and I always get the same things: Kalbee Short Ribs and Fried Fish & BBQ Chicken combo. They come out piping hot and fresh all the time. The meats are flavorful and moist all the time and I also like their macaroni salad. We would come more often if we lived closer but maybe it’s a good thing we don’t.. Highly recommend if you’re around The colony/Frisco area near 121 HWY. -update October 2023- We just returned from a 2 weeks trip to 3 Hawaiian Islands and it’s crazy how every time we ate a plate lunch at one of the popular joints in HI, we kept comparing them to Shaka’s and except for one place that serves Garlic Chicken (it’s amazinggg but Shaka doesnt have this on the menu), we actually preferred Shaka’s short ribs, mac salad and loco moco!!! Now that says a LOT. Shaka’s owners are I believe to be from Hawaii and they are serving some truly amazing food here for Dallas folks. We stopped by last night and of course our meal was delicious without any flaws. Keep supporting your local asian businesses!
Shaka was Great! Definitely one of the best dining experiences for Hawaiian food in DFW. They have a great selection and everything was well seasoned and tender. I had the Loco Moco and it was delicious. And my wife got the Shaka favorite Seafood mix. Everything was excellent. We will be back soon!
I had a very disappointing experience at this Hawaiian restaurant. The food tasted stale and honestly seemed spoiled — definitely not fresh or safe to eat. What made it worse was the owner’s attitude. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, they were rude and dismissive, which completely ruined the experience. This place does not reflect the warmth or hospitality Hawaiian food is known for. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Normally my go to chicken katsu spot but today is very disappointing. It’s clear that they took an old piece of chicken katsu and refried it. When I get this Togo it’s typically still piping hot when I get home since I’m less than 6 min away. Katsu was cold and it smelled and tasted like old grease. Very chewy on the ends. Mac salad is and will always be very good here but my wife and I are very hesitant to come back here. I typically see the owner in the drive through window but didn’t see him this time. I hope this is a one off event and not a reoccurring experience.
