    Coconut crunchy
    Scotty C.

    I've seen Shaka at events and follow them on social so I've been looking forward to trying it out... especially when I saw the coconut shrimp on their menu. They were in the neighborhood and my friend went to pick up an order. We tried to do an online pre-order, but it wasn't working. Maybe you can't submit a pre-order once service starts... not sure. I got the Coconut Crunchy and it came with a scoop of sticky rice, a ramekin of sesame soy cucumbers, some potato mac salad (not sure why as I don't think there was anything potato related in there), and coconut shrimp. Everything was great and the coconut shrimp were excellent. My only gripe is that you only get five shrimp and the plate is $17. Yes, all the sides are there to justify the price and it's definitely a full meal, but I'd love to see an option to just get shrimp instead because that was my favorite part. The shrimp are big though and they butterfly them so you get lots of crunch. Even if there was an option for a large or an upgrade for few dollars more and you got eight shrimp. I guess what I'm saying is when I go to a shrimp truck, I want more shrimp.

    This food truck is well run and friendly. I had the Shaka Shrimp and it was delicious. Grilled butterflied shrimp cooked and seasoned to perfection. It comes with a scoop of sticky rice, sliced pickled cucumbers that were the perfect sweetness, and a macaroni salad that is top 5 best I have had (includes hard boiled eggs and pieces of potato). The food is very high quality. Although I wouldn't want to spend $18 on lunch every day- when I do- it should be high quality like Shaka Shrimp.

    Was going on my run and noticed this truck parked Middleton park. On my way back I stopped and grabbed some food to take home. I was so happy to see that they had a veggie option even though it is shrimp focused!!! The tofu was in a yummy peanut sauce and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Service was fast and the people working were nice. Now that I know they have veggie options I will be sure to be back :)

    We came here for my birthday dinner this summer and it was sooooooooooo delicious!!!! I ordered…read moretheir version Australian Wagyu filet with chimichuri sauce, we shared the bone marrow oysters, caviar & creamed spinach. The service was great! They also presented me with a sweet card for my birthday. The place itself has amazing ambience. It's got sexy lighting and everything feels very grand. I would love to come back for that amazing, buttery smooth steak the next time I'm in town.

    Last time it was a freezer in there. A year later: it was too warm. So ambiance gets a C, once…read moreagain. We had the caviar service and it was fantastic. The wedge salad was fine but lacked depth in the dressing. Comparable to any other, nothing special. My biggest problem: the steaks. They once again, overcooked my steak. Out of politeness I never said anything but a medium rare order was a medium to medium well. My wife ordered a medium and you could not tell a temperature difference between hers and mine. The side dishes were phenomenal (creamed spinach and truffle Mac and cheese). The dessert: we had a strawberry shortcake that was good but again, it felt like the flavors were a bit too bland for a steakhouse dessert. We have given this place two tries. Unfortunately considering the competition when it comes to high end steakhouses downtown Charleston, I don't think we will be back.

    CudaCo is a true local gem. I went with friends who had simply just heard how fresh and delicious…read morethe food was, and had to clue them in to their sustainability mission as well! A true pioneer in moving the fish market in a sustainable direction to make sure we have ample fish populations for years to come. Now the food? Delicious. Fresh. Flavorful. The ceviche with the sticky rice add on is my favorite here, but everything is absolutely yummy! Poboy and crab cakes round out my top 3. Inside, you'll find a small space with limited seating and a counter to order at. Lots of tables outside (both on their porch and out back in the beautiful trees), so plan your attire accordingly. Big group? Likely not sitting inside! They have a fairly large wine selection and beverage fridge, so you should be able to find something to make the whole group happy. Casual, relaxed, friendly spot. Everytime I drive by, I feel the draw to pull in!

I had the smoked fish dip, served with saltines and fresh sliced vegetables for dipping, along with the house oysters and a glass of white wine. The vegetables were sliced perfectly for scooping up the dip and made a fresh, crisp alternative to the saltines. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The setup is casual and easy -- you walk up to the counter to order, and they give you a digital pager to let you know when your food is ready. I also appreciated details like the recycled utensils and the overall relaxed feel of the place. The service stood out before I even walked in. Someone was in the parking lot helping direct guests on where to park, which was a nice touch and made arriving easy. Great seafood, friendly service, a relaxed waterfront atmosphere, and a really enjoyable experience. Definitely worth a stop on James Island!
