Cute little “shack” spot in the corner. They only have 13 tables. 5 inside and 7 outside in their patio. Make sure to find a table first then order inside. Entrance is on the sidewalk side. I accidentally almost entered through the back where the parking lot is lol. We shared the big kahuna loco moco which is perfect for two. I wanted to try alittle bit of each meat options they had and knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it all. The hamburger patty and kalua pork was really tasty and good. I think the sausages were kinda overcooked though. My ube matcha latte looked nothing like the picture but was still very good. The ube Malasada was just ok. It could’ve used more filling. Overall it was pretty good and I’d most likely come back to try other stuff!

The food here is legit. Tastes like you would find in Hawaii, and good.
Staff is very engaging and they have a good selection of items.
The restaurant itself is very small. A couple of tables indoors, outdoor seating when it’s available and a modest parking lot. Just be aware it might be better too to get takeout and try to sit if it’s crowded.

Sat inside, simple decor. No music no tv, no ambient sound.. just cooks and staff chatting/flirting. Wasn’t terrible, just weird.
Food was good, but expensive for actual quality of ingredients.
Waffles themselves are boring, but toppings make it. Cobb salad is a very weirdly composed dish, but still good.
Moco locos are obviously a well executed dish.
Little House was great but also kinda weird, and keeping Alameda weird is wonderful.

Today we tried lunch at the Shaka Shack for the first time, and we will definitely be back. They were busy when we arrived, but we had time to hang out and the food was worth the wait. The crew was nice and personable. We wound up chatting with other customers. They surprised both our tables with complementary Malasadas which were delicious. Everything was delicious.

Super friendly staff! Great service! And percent AUTHENTIC Hawaiian food! We Went there for late lunch yesterday. My daughter tried the Poke Bowl, and I tried the Hawaiian Chili over rice . Words cannot describe the flavors and amount of goodness packed into these bowls. They even threw in a free MALASADAS to try.
That was just so good. Please do yourself a favor and give this establishment a try. You will not be disappointed. We will be back soon!

Came here with my close friend, not sure if this was an off day, but the food was alright. Had the loco moco and I think there was old rice so a little disappointed. The ube malasada was very delicious and I will be coming back to try the other flavors. Mac latte was def worth it as well.

Shaka Shack is an absolute gem for breakfast. I came here this morning and everything was amazing from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care; you can tell they don’t cut corners here. Portions were generous, ingredients tasted high-quality, and every bite hit the mark.
The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, exactly what you want for a great breakfast spot, and the service was friendly and efficient without feeling rushed. This is the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood and makes you want to come back again (and again).
If you’re in Alameda and looking for a top-tier breakfast, Shaka Shack is a must-try. Highly recommend.

Loved this place and the food was so good!! I’m lucky it’s located in Alameda, not too far away. Spam musubies were on point, as well as that ube waffle and pog mimosa! I will definitely be trying everything on the menu. Atmosphere was great and warped me back to my time in the islands.

A humble venue…a “shack” indeed, however, the culinary fare and execution thereof far exceeded the “casualness” of this site! My inaugural visit was prompted by live music performers…situated al fresco in the patio dining area. The weather indeed cooperated which exacted a superlative dining experience. Pictured are variations of Hawaiian Loco Moco fare: Stella’s Kalbi Rib and Big Kahuna Burger Patty. Not pictured are Ahi Poke Bowl and Malasadas variations. Our menu items were consistent in exemplary flavor and presentation. Also noteworthy was the customer service orientation! What is particularly significant is how this business optimized its space to provide customers with the ultimate ALOHA experience. We shall be enthusiastically returning to patronize this establishment which obviously caters to its customers across the board! AND parking is conveniently located!
