“ 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! ”
“ 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 ”
“ 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! ”
“ The food is delicious. Ordered the chicken katsu and chicken teriyaki and it was so good. That teriyaki sauce is the best I’ve ever had. So glad I found this place, thanks Siri! ”
“ My favorite Hawaiian restaurant. Portions are big and they have the best loco moco. ”
“ I'm from mid-southern California, with it being so close imagine having authentic Hawaiin cuisine. When I came across this restaurant as I was Dashing I said I'll be back. And I have done just that! Welby and staff are true to their cooking and service! I had their Curry Chicken Katsu while my daughter had the Fire Chicken! So now I must tell you, stop sitting and twiddling around go out and get you a meal from Shaka Hawaiin BBQ! You will not be disappointed!!! ”
“ Aloha! Slam dunk! A#1! The best! I love this place, I wish they were closer. I had the chicken katsu and fried fish in a plate lunch, Mrs. Had the fried shrimp. Everything is good here. ”
“ This place seriously hits the spot every time! The BBQ Chicken, Chicken Katsu and spam musubis are my go-to favorites which is always flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Portions are generous, the quality is consistently great, and the prices are super reasonable. Whether you’re craving comfort food or just want something delicious and satisfying, this place never disappoints! ”
