    Today was the day I finally got to try something from Shaka!!! I was passing by and decided to tried the "clean complexion" smoothie. Let me say it was really refreshing and for some reason much better than the ones I make at home lol The spot at Hoboken has a tropical vibe and also they have their own merch which btw its pretty but don't have tags on it and didn't feel like asking for the price. One of the things I really liked it's that their açaí bowls and smoothies have a base price and you just get to pick what you want in it. I will definitely come back to try one of their açaí bowls and salad bowls to see if those prices are worth it. Finally, they were two girls working at the location and they both were pretty nice. They bring your food to the table which I liked but it's not necessary in my opinion :)

    Classic acai spot. No complaints. Acai didn't taste like it had much added sugar which is a plus. Only two people working, but wasn't busy at all so it was relatively quick service. They had outdoor seating which we enjoyed!

    This was a nice casual spot for a healthy breakfast or lunch. There is seating both inside and outside.

    Super basic tacos n coffee.. was referred by local nearby business to get açaí bowls but hungry after a workout class and thought to give tacos a try and just like other reviews the sauce on top was the flavor and actually a bit too much that it overpowered everything. I've been to Hawaii and this didn't bring me back.. Pork was tender and no flavor, chicken dry and bbq jackfruit ok. I will give them another try on açaí bowls since that's all i sellae people walking out with 2 stars because the staff was courteous. Shaka Latte just tasted like regular coffee with lots of cinnamon.

    Lava Rock Shrimp Tacos - 3 Tacos

    ***EDITED*** My fiancé and I have been to Shaka several times... whenever his craving for a poke bowl inevitably comes up. I don't typically go for the poke bowls... instead I opt for the lava rock shrimp tacos. They come with a nice topping of crispy cabbage and a generous dressing of the spicy Shaka sauce (which is like a spicy mayo). Definitely recommend! We also like the avocado egg rolls as an appetizer. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside! Comes with the spicy mayo sauce too. We experienced a problem the other night (where the salmon was left out of our salmon poke bowl) but this problem has been promptly resolved after communicating with the business owner. I was advised to reach out via the Shaka website about any feedback- response time is fast!

    Our family has been customers since Shaka opened--we are very grateful for the staff, positive energy, and food/drink options at both locations. Our favorite food item is the tacos, followed closely by chips & guac. For drinks we usually get the happy Hawaiian smoothie, but the summer watermelon special is also a favorite. Also love the smoothie that's for coffee in it!! We are very grateful to have this business as neighbors & friends!

    Awesome poke bowl!!!

    This spot is tucked away in the Monroe Center but the food definitely speaks for itself. I liked the poke bowl with a whole bunch of toppings. I won't bore you with what I got but rvery topping was fresh which is important. I always prefer the toppings that are crunchy like the wonton chips, crispy onions, and edamame. The sauces also worked but I wish they put more sauce on. My wife got the chicken bowl since she is pregnant and can't eat raw fish. She wasn't the biggest fan of it so I would stick to the poke here. All in all, it is a solid choice. Poke bowls seemed to really have taken off the last few years and this is a place that does it right. Check it out.

    First and foremost just want to say Shaka bowl is a must go to if you're feeling hungry. This little shop tucked away in Monroe is one of my favorites. I usually go for the tacos cause they are to die for, but today I went with some friends and we opted to go for Mauna Kea Tuna bowl and a spicy salmon bowl and we were not disappointed at all. This dish had everything from flavor to presentation and it just bursted off your tastebuds. The staff is very friendly and seem to enjoy what they do and the results show for themselves. I highly recommend Shaka bowl to anyone who walks by and is looking to grab a bite to eat, and me and my friends will definitely be coming back for more!!! Keep up the good work, Great environment=Great Food

    The food choices in West Hoboken continue to grow, and Shaka Bowl is another welcome addition. I've visited twice and tried various ingredients in my customized poke bowl. You receive a generous portion for $14, with plenty of protein, so definitely come hungry or be prepared to take some home. Everything tasted fresh and of good quality, only note might be the blackened chicken was a bit bland. The servers/preparers are very professional. Both the food service and the seating areas are kept very clean. It's a small place and ten people could make it feel crowded, although there are a few, small outdoor tables for the nice weather. Shaka Bowl has a loyalty card where you can eventually earn a free item. The hours are excellent, open for early morning coffee and oatmeal, straight through to lunch and dinner. Acai bowls, smoothies, and frozen yogurt are also popular choices. I highly recommend supporting this small business providing the west side of Hoboken with great, healthy food choices.

    Salmon bowl

    This is an amazing additional to the hoboken food scene. I am utterly obsessed with the vegan funfetti cookie (and im far from vegan). The poke bowls they have are always fresh and amazing. The salmon peanut bowl is my favorite. I havent had a lot of smoothies here just because they arent my thing, but ive had some sips here and there and they are also amazing. Def recommend going here when u want a healthy filling meal or snack. Their bowls come in two sizes which is convenient when i just want to have a small dinner

    Salmon Poke bowl

    Worst poke bowl I've ever had. The fish tasted slimy and warm. The rice was not thoroughly cooked through / tasted a few days old. I couldn't even finish the meal bc I got grossed out while eating the mushy texture. Would not come back.

    I've been trying to find a good poke bowl around the area and came across this place and my prayers have been answered! Definitely recommend It looks to me that the small size poke bowl wasn't going to be enough for me so I decided to go with the large but I couldn't even finish it. A small is enough for you to eat and I didn't feel overstuffed or gross after eating the bowl which made me very happy. With the large you're allowed unlimited sides so that's awesome. If you get the small you're limited to 5 but even that is just the right amount. The only thing I will say is it needs just a little more flavor, I got the teriyaki sauce but seemed too much like soy sauce. Regardless the place was good!

    Fun stickers!

    This is an awesome option for fresh juices, smoothies, and acai bowls. We tried the Tune It Up and…read morethe Grasshopper juices and both were super tasty. I was worried the carrot in the Grasshopper would overwhelm the drink, but it was perfectly balanced and you couldn't taste it much. We also tried acai bowls with oats, strawberries, and pineapples. They were a bit sweet, but delicious as well. They showcase all their fruits and veggies in a display case next to the registers so you can see that they use the freshest ingredients. They have a small amount of seating in the shop, but this is more of a place to grab and go. The owner was super nice and friendly too.

    I always wondered what Acai bowls are and that curiosity led me to this place! Went in for their…read moreNutty bowl, and must say.... Satisfaction is an underrated word here! They have nicely blended the acai puree and topped it with banana, strawberry, granola and Nutella. Initially thought it would be too sweet but it wasn't. I thoroughly enjoyed the bowl and it was an amazing experience. The outlet though is small but they have maintained a good ambience and the staff is friendly. Service too was pretty quick as they were catering to a lot of people when I entered and quickly the patrons were served their orders. The cost is reasonable for the product they offer, looking forward to trying more of their dishes including shakes and juices along with acai bowl.
