Shaka Fries
Although you’re welcome to have regular fries with your burger, the Shaka Fries are where it’s at. To create this masterpiece, they take their golden, crisp fries and top them with fried garlic crumbles. Then, the whole lot gets their fantastically flavorful Shaka sauce over top. Ask for extra Shaka sauce on the side to ensure every bite gets a taste of that decadent dip. Don’t worry, they won’t judge.
Ti-No-No Plate
The Ti-No-No Plate treats you to a perfect balance of fried meats and bright veggies with each and every bite. This filling dish starts with pork belly fried up until it’s tender inside and crispy outside. Once that’s done, it gets tossed in a Filipino citrus soy vinaigrette alongside onions and tomatoes. Rice and their daily side land on the plate, too, and help bring all the flavors together.
Hawaii 5-0
When you want all the best island flavors in every single bite, you cannot go wrong with the Hawaii 5-0 burger. To build this burger, they grill up your seven-ounce patty right when you order it and glaze it in teriyaki sauce. All the while, they caramelize a thick pineapple ring and toast the buttery bun. Then, it all comes together with cheddar cheese and fried onions to create a flavor combo to remember.
Da Shaka Burger
If you want all the classic burger flavors taken to the next level, set your sights on Da Shaka Burger. This beefy creation starts with a seven-ounce patty grilled up deliciously on a toasty, buttery bun. Bacon jam gets spread on the bun before the cheddar cheese-covered patty lands on top. To that, they add lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onions two ways before drizzling on the Shaka sauce.
Although you only see the team long enough to order and get your food, their friendly demeanor will instantly make you feel like a part of the family. They have a warm Aloha for every guest plus happily answer any questions you may have. Want extra sauce? Need more napkins? Not a problem.

Insider Tip:
Always down for a little extra heat? Ask them to sprinkle on the Carolina Reaper before chowing down. Just be careful, it’s wicked hot at first taste, and then builds from there.
