Restaurants in Alameda

“The small unassuming entry way will make you think you’re breaking into someone’s house but it’s perfect for that intimate feeling as well. Once you find the right door it’s a super chill vibe in a small space. The chef was preparing everything as we walked in and the server sat us down. The food was super fresh and the chef was very kind. There were 13 different sashimis served along with 6 additional courses of non sashimi items. Very nice service and amazing meal, left full and happy!”

“Wonderful hospitality and warmth coming from the Host Ty Do letting me know more about the Cambodian culture. And BIG Wow on the Sea Food dish: 637. SALMON IN GARLIC BASIL WINE SAUCE : Poached salmon topped w/ roasted garlic, basil, & black mushroom in reduced wine sauce. It's divine! It's my new hot restaurant spot in The Little Town of Alameda.”

“Chicken and waffles ? ? on point as always. I think I’ll try dinner next time.”

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied”

“Brought my kids here for dinner after basketball practice, and it was fantastic. My three boys are notoriously picky eaters, but they licked their plates completely clean—which says everything you need to know about the food. Even on a packed night, the service was impeccable. Everyone who greeted and served us was warm and attentive, keeping our drinks refilled without us even having to ask. I didn't make reservations, so we waited about 30 minutes for a table, but the outdoor grassy area was a lifesaver for letting the kids run around and burn off energy while we waited. We will definitely be back!”

“Fowl + Fare is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it perfect for a casual meal or special occasion. The menu is creative and diverse, showcasing mouthwatering dishes that celebrate both poultry and fresh ingredients. Each bite bursts with flavor, and the presentation is just as impressive. The service is top-notch—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience!”

“Everything we’ve had here is so delicious!!! Our faves are the Tom Kha soup, BMV platter, Pad Kee Mao, Chicken Satay, and Mango sticky rice dessert…all so very yummy!!!”

“the food was amazing!! service was great and the food came out quick!! u definitely recommend this place!!”

“Final date night before flight home tomorrow. Sausage plate. The British bangers are super flavorful and juicy, goes great with the spicy mustard sauce! The bratwurst is perfect with the kraut and horseradish. The smoked bison is a bit on the dry and spicy side. Reminds me of a Slim Jim. I wish I tasted more bison, but it's still good. The herbed goat cheese and lavash bread is to die for! The herbs are perfectly balanced with the cheese and spreads so easily on the bread!All paired perfectly with Zin-phomaniac red wine!”

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.”

“Afternoon tea. Interesting experience. Recommend reservations. We went here recently (brother recommended this place). The place was quaint. We selected the tea for one. Each of us chose 2 sandwich flavors and a pot of tea. I got the flowering tea, it has a mild flowery taste and is visually pleasing. Sandwiches were an interesting experience. The coconut jam was surprisingly good. I personally got the meatfloss and the turkey with Brie and fig jam. The turkey was somewhat sweet. The scone was good too, along with the savory canapé. Dessert was good. I’ll have to come back again with my spouse and friends next time.”

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕”

“Everything I've had so far has been super flavorful and keeps me coming back. My favorites are the lemongrass pork Bahn Mi, the non-fried rolls, and wonton soup.”

“Cool tour, and The Rake has an excellent selection of their customers’ beers on tap!”

“They have a guest dock. Good food.”

“Fikscue Craft BBQ is an absolute gem. The Indonesian BBQ fusion concept is unique, creative, and packed with flavor. The brisket was the highlight—beautifully smoked, tender, juicy, and full of rich flavor. You can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into the barbecue.

The nasi goreng was an excellent complement to the smoked meat, bringing a distinctive Indonesian touch that makes Fikscue stand out from a typical BBQ restaurant. The seasoned fries were also delicious and worked perfectly with the rest of the meal.

The portions are generous—around 2 lbs (almost 1 kg) of brisket along with the rice and fries—and everything felt well prepared and thoughtfully put together. It’s not inexpensive, but the quality of the meat, portion size, and overall experience make it feel like a special meal rather than just another BBQ dinner.

If you enjoy serious smoked brisket but want something different from traditional American BBQ, Fikscue Craft BBQ is definitely worth trying. Excellent food, distinctive flavors, and a memorable BBQ experience. Highly recommended!”

“Great variety of tasty dishes on the menu and the food was delicious! I loved the “secret” specials - you need to ask to find out what they are. Fun cocktail options. And, all of the dessert options were awesome! My fav was the cheeseburger - YUM! I would definitely go back!”

“Over in San Francisco from Perth Australia and popped in for a couple of beers, awesome spot and great beers, staff were super friendly and even grabbed some merch, get yourselves over and support these guys and have a cracking pint or four”

“The fish tacos were really good, one of the best I've ever had”

“Amazing food, warm hospitality, and a relaxing and beautiful ambience on the outdoor patio. My husband and I have come here repeatedly because it's always such a wonderful experience. Perfect for date nights or just spending time with friends. The chef, manager, and staff are always so friendly and kind. One of my favorite spots in Alameda!”

“I actually adore this coffee place. Super homey feel and the owner is awesome. Great coffee and food available, awesome mismatched sofas and chairs to sit on. Absolutely love it!”

“Amazing Owner, beautiful atmosphere and thee most delicious food. All around a 10/10!”

“Great food and superb service. love the beef wellington!!”

“We visited Alameda in April to attend a celebration of life for a family member that we lost suddenly. Our family was in town from all over the country, and we found Cafe Jolie Petit near our hotel. They took such great care of us, fed us meals on three or four consecutive days, and we could not have asked for better service or food during an emotional time. Pastries (Koiugn Amann!), Monte Cristo, and the coffee bar were our favorites, but everything we had was delicious. We hope to be back for happier circumstances at some point, and definitely will return!”

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.”

“Great beer selection, friendly staff and sunny warm patio to enjoy it all.”

“I can not express how impressed and blown away I was visiting Neptune’s today “on accident”. I was driving past neptunes today and we ran into car trouble right in front. We got out and pushed the car into the nearest parking lot which happened to be neptunes. We had just bought a used car in the neighborhood and was trying to make it home and the battery just died. We spent some time pulling out the battery and ran next door to the auto parts store to buy a new one. Out of the blue an employee walked us out some water and said “I saw you out here and it’s hot. Wanted to give you some water and ask if you needed help. “ blown away by his kindness I thanked him but we had it covered. Once we got the battery replaced I decided to get breakfast from Neptune’s to show my thanks for their hospitality. Wow was I blown away. The breakfast was amazing , the coffee on point and the hospitality was unmatched. I give 5 stars for all in. My youngest son said. That guy is a good man! And I agree if you’re looking for good service and great food. Stop here! You won’t regret it.”

“Excellent food! The Pho was amazing clear and so yummy! Can’t wait to try more items on the menu; next time!”

“Faction Brewing is a wonderful, local brewery! On a perfect day, enjoy a beer or cider on their patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Catch it on a gloomier day and you can still enjoy a crafted beverage in their large indoor spaces. We host our annual donation drive here in the spring and the staff is always so fantastic. Highly recommend Faction Brewing!”

“Outdoor dining in heart of Alameda”

“Friendly people, good food, generous portions, great service! Nothing better than to return to a favorite dining spot and have them not only remember you but also remember your "usual"! Beyond Pleased!”

“Very good meal, service was great, I'll definitely be back.”

“Almanac is a great hangout place!
A whole bunch of tables and benches inside and outside. Good for big or small groups. There’s a food truck for burgers and a cupcake truck next to it.
I love their stout. It’s strong and delicious.”

“Alameda Brewing is an amazing neighborhood spot! We met up with friends visiting from out of town, and it was the perfect, laid-back environment to catch up. The atmosphere is super family-friendly (we had all our kids in tow), the service was great, and the beer was fantastic. I loved the German Lager and the Burma Ale (fun fact: they told us it was crafted to pair perfectly with Asian food). I especially love their open food policy; we brought in some amazing BBQ from Fisque next door. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!”

“Came for a birthday and it was a great spot. Easy parking in the back. Friendly service. Gender neutral bathrooms. Chips at the table were nice. Good portions. Food was really good. Fun to see the tomahawk prior to it being prepared. Mocktails and Cocktails were delicious and strong respectively. Only thing I’d pass on would be the bread.”

“This place serves joy by the cup and happiness by the bite. The coffee? Bold enough to turn any morning around. The tea? A perfect hug in a mug, no matter the weather. And the pastries? Golden, flaky bites of pure magic that might just ruin other desserts for you. The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly, and my taste buds are still doing a happy dance. 10/10, would abandon my kitchen for this place again.”

“Delicious! I recommend to any wine worthy connoisseur!”

“Food is delicious, especially their signature tea leaf salad!”

“The restaurant only for the reason of speaking another language within it the employees take Gonchi out of you is Can by the hair also they steal your belongings we made a case for the police”

“Food was great. Friendly staff and Well trained. Manager Bianca was very professional n knowledgeable on all the food recommended with details. Must try. Will be back again ! 💜💜🍷🍷”

“Highly recommend this spot.

This is the style I grew up eating and I’m so glad I live walking distance. Prices are also very reasonable!

There is only one table so I would expect to just take out instead. This isn’t really a dine in place.”

“Make Your way to the SWELL some Day”

“Tempura, so crispy. Miso cod, sake toro. I also would like to to recommend the different tastings like the nigiri tasting, the sashimi tasting and also the salmon tasting. They also have raw oysters presented in Japanese style, so good.”

“I'm from Italy (have lived in Philadelphia for 20 years), and I was in Alameda in 2015 for a friend's wedding. I happened upon this place, and what a joy! Not only is the owner (who ended up at our table, where we had a lovely conversation) Livornese (I'm from Tirrenia, a province of Pisa), but the food was incredible, AND he knew a number of people that I knew! It's been five years, and I really want to go back some day. BOIA! CHE GIOIA!”

“The food was good, nice and hot. I didn't like the fact that in the window and on the sign it had the same price, when I got my receipt I was charged more..When I asked to speak to a manager the lasy couldn't speak good english and she didn't understand me at all.”

“Great crew, very nice and fast, great food for the 3am munchies. You can tell they appreciate the customers. My obsession with mocha ice coffees has ended, now it's Jack's mango ice tea.”

“Fantastic sandwiches at this classic Italian deli 😋”

“Unique Special Order Cakes. Made my granddaughter's 16th heart shaped Birthday cake and she was totally pleased with the results. It matched her wishes exactly. Cupcakes were super delish! Thank you Rosanna for all your help!”

“We initially tried to come here on a Friday at 7 PM but there seemed to be a long wait so we decided to check it out on a Wednesday and we only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. This location was originally a Taco Bell, but I love the atmosphere there, friendly, good service and comforting food! It's a cozy place perfect for a cold wintry day to have your own little boiling hot pot of tasty broth and hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Hubby ordered the Lau Pork Bone Marrow and I had the Lau Oxtail. I ordered the Oxtail without the tripe, just more oxtail! The hot pot came out boiling with oxtail and beef balls. All I had to do was cook the egg noodles, taro, tofu, cabbage, veggies into the soup as there was plenty of delicious oxtail and meat balls in the delicious broth! Great for a bone chilling night! Next time I'd love to try the shaken beef!”

“Reasonably priced tasty dinner of Shanghai Soup Dumplings, Sweet fried chicken wings, and beef stew noodle soup. Delicate XLB and juicy. Wings were crunchy, meaty, and lightly battered and fried. It’s one of our “go to places” for Chinese food in Alameda. Small local neighborhood place with nice service.”

“I was very excited because I went on Tuesday and the girl was very kind and her service was nice and the food was very delicious, and today I went back again but the owner of the place is a little rude and unfriendly: but the taste of the food is delicious”

“my favorite Mexican restaurant. great food, super friendly and consistent. been going here for almost 15 years.”

“Enjoyed the different meals thoroughly. Have had the Chicken Curry Rice Bowl, the Spicy Chicken Ramen Bowl, Bulgogi, and a few other dishes. Easy to become a repeat customer”

“I order my Highwire Coffee online, being that I live in Nevada City. While I love my local Foxhound Coffee, I found that Highwire's 'Bauhaus' coffee is beyond exceptional and I have to have both Bauhaus and my local coffee in order to function properly!😍☕️”

“Born and raised in New York. Best bagel I’ve had in Alameda! Hits the spot when I get the itch. My go to toasted everything bagel w/ cream cheese or butter”

“The service was great! The coffee here is also good.”

“I absolutely love their tacos! They are incredibly delicious, flavorful, and always fresh. The service is also outstanding, everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can truly tell they care about their customers and the quality of their food. Highly recommend! 🌮❤”

“love it for a afternoon treat w the kiddos”

“ok this pizza is better then most pizza places cuz with the pizza u get to cook it ur self and its already made for u and all u have to do is go down there and pick it up and every time i go there with a friend who ever is in the front is very nice and i would recommend it to any one who lives in alameda”

“First time here and probably last time too. I hella liked how the inside was decorated reminded me of a restaurant in Japan. Kinda disappointed though. I hella love sushi. But the sushi selection was small. Nothing caught my eye. The only thing I did enjoy with my meal was the ikura. The waitress’s don’t even check up on you to see how your doing. We we’re seated all the way in the back. I asked for more water and it never came. And for those 2 reasons I won’t come back.”

“Great place & cakes!”

“Delicious food, highly recommended”

“I really like this place. I always feel welcomed and it's a great place to chill out and have a drink. No muss, no fuss deal. The place can get crowded on a good night and also be lively in the daytime at lunch. Pool table, maybe some days, and good music creates a positive fun vibe. Also, It's a puppy palace! Dogs welcome, keep them close/on leash and be respectful, people love to see them and interact. Take a friend, go alone, whichever it is, I hope you enjoy. Appetizer like food is prepared and served until 9 or 10pm, not sure which one it is.”

“Love the classic hot dogs. Tony also has many special dogs to offer the whole family! On top of that, a very nice guy”

“I just had a pastrami Sandwich it was very Delicious Great Customer Sevice and very Helpful also Reasonable prices
there no seating area if but close to the park I would Recommend it to anyone know”

“Good place nice people there”

“Wescafe is my favorite coffee shop.”

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!”

“Delicious food!! The atmosphere here is great and all the staff is super friendly! Would recommend one of the top places in alameda for tacos and burritos!! 🌯 10/10”

“Best features are the classics, and that the bartenders participate. They can be engaging. Entertaining. Even down right cordial. Other times, this is a good place to reflect and think about what you did wrong.”

“Great view of Coast Guard island !”

“The staff here are AMAZING! Is this a dive bar? Yes. Are they gonna look at you funny is you try to order a speciality cocktail that you’re used to getting downtown San Francisco? Yep. But that’s the whole point, you’re here to drink traditional and familiar fantastic drinks! I started coming here with friends a while back and over time many of the bartenders and other employees became like friends! As a woman I always felt safe as they had their eye on everything going on, and I always had a blast anytime I came. Specifically, Peppi and Michelle, really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I had to move away and they spent money out of their own pockets to throw my a going away party at the bar. I have never experienced a closeness like this to an establishment where I’m a guest, and it was very appreciated. I am moved away now and very much miss the service and atmosphere I had at Lucky 13!”

“very fresh and delicious food. I had the Super Nachos with Beef, and Tacos Grandes. very generous at reasonable price. Ready in 10 minutes, takeout or delivery only”

“Classic In-N-Out experience! Fresh, tasty burgers, crispy fries, and quick service. Simple menu, good quality, and definitely worth trying when visiting California.”

“Looking for a good middle eastern place for lunch and found an AMAZING PLACE. I have eaten middle eastern food in different restaurants but this place is by far the best. Got the salad with chicken and humus bowl and the fries with everything on it. My go to place while I am in Alameda.”

“Always the best food and best service. May has done a fantastically amazing job of improving an already fantastic offering. Thank you may for the wonderful dining experiences”

“Favorite coffee shop in Alameda! Everything from food, delicious coffee always and their continued support for local artists!”

“We love eating here. It is a small mom&pop place, and food is so delicious here. We come for the phone. The fishes I see others eating, everything looks great. This place smells wonderful as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend!”

“Great place to enjoy a great dinner”

“Stopped here during a long bike ride. Good place to lock up your bike and nice place to sit inside or outside to look at the boats in the marina. Bibimbap was very good. Seemed to have a good selection of sandwiches as well.”

“I order from here a lot as it’s the only place that gets my drink order perfect. The food is really good, and my kid loves their frosted donuts with sprinkles!”

“Never thought I would pay $16 for a small bowl of pho noodle soup, but that is the world we’re are living in! The taste and quality beat other places in Alameda by far. At least the Bahn Mi was priced appropriately at under $10, though the bread was a bit hard for my liking.”

“Great location and selection of food and the selection is expanding from what I hear! Kid friendly and a great place to have birthday parties, happy hours, or for any reason. Indoor and outdoor seating options (dog friendly outdoors). They also have lots of TVs for MMA, European, Cricket, and all sports fanatics, inclusive of Baseball, Basketball, and Football! VJ’s also has a FULL COCKTAIL BAR! Great beer selection as well! The owner and his staff are all great. Come by and check out VJ’s! It’s next to the UPS Store at Marina Village.”

“I've been coming to this market for many years. I tried the deli a few times in the past, but the service was horrible. There used to be two women working there who always had bad attitudes, which made me feel unwelcomed, so I stopped coming. However, a few weeks back I decided to check it out again, and I am so glad that I did! Ever since Elizabeth took over, the whole experience has been completely different. When you walk in, you're instantly greeted with a smile and asked how you can be helped. The food is fresh, made quickly, and the whole team is great! This is going to be a weekly lunch date for my husband and me now.”

“we order a milkshake it was so delicious and would go again 😋”

“Good food and friendly staff”

“great food... healthy and the staff are very friendly”

“The garden is the place to be”

“solid espresso drink game from baristas.”

“At the risk of making this place too busy, I have to give them their due. We tried them for the first time today and everything was excellent, from the service to the coffee to the food. The beans that come with the Mexican breakfast entrees are the best I've had anywhere. Come eat with these good folks.”

“Chicken and waffles ? ? on point as always. I think I’ll try dinner next time.”

“My Mother and I enjoy eating here periodically. She loves their thick, Belgian waffles while I usually opt for the sausage only or sausage and mushroom omelet with tater tots. I cannot eat the entire omelet so I take half of it home for breakfast the next day. Service is quick and friendly and prices are reasonable. A nice, low-key gem in Alameda.”

“Was looking for a place to eat on my birthday new years day, my stepbro picked it out, he said he ate there 20 yrs ago, I was reluctant as it looked outdated and empty,but I was surprised when the food came in quickly, the staff was friendly and the plates of food were huge! I kept asking my bro if he accidentally ordered family size, nope. We ordered egg rolls, 1 order must have had 10 pieces! Delicious spare ribs, wonton soup, honey walnut prawns (jumbo!) Mongolian beef, they gave us almond cookies instead of fortune, that was a nice change,there was so much food leftover to take home, I'll be going back, I don't know how they can afford to give so much for so little $, very reasonable.the only thing was the place was so cold, we were both freezing. no heat!”

“Classic In-N-Out experience! Fresh, tasty burgers, crispy fries, and quick service. Simple menu, good quality, and definitely worth trying when visiting California.”

“Food was great. Friendly staff and Well trained. Manager Bianca was very professional n knowledgeable on all the food recommended with details. Must try. Will be back again ! 💜💜🍷🍷”

“Alexis is the GOAT!! Easily one of the best servers you could ask for. Great personality, always takes care of his tables, and somehow makes serving look effortless. He’s the type of server you remember after you leave because he actually makes the whole experience better. Funny, friendly, and always bringing good energy. He’s the type of person people look up to!! Absolute legend.”

“The super burritos are always delicious and fresh. They are huge, and there’s always enough to take home with you and enjoy later. All of the appetizers are delicious, and the drinks are the best.”

“Good food, friendly server.”

“I love this place, best meatball sandwich I have had in years. Thanks Brian.👍”

“Food is delicious, especially their signature tea leaf salad!”

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied”

“The best place to go when you are hungry and you are craving for a great hamburger, pies and fabulous breakfast. I have being coming here for a long time and I recommend it 100%. The customer service is top notch and they are always happy to see you. Best place to eat in Alemeda.”

“Chicken and waffles ? ? on point as always. I think I’ll try dinner next time.”

“Wow! The service was top notch, the food was amazing! Fun atmosphere, a little loud, but it's Saturday night! Fabulous place, definitely recommend, portions are generous, bring your stretchy pants this ain't no diet food!”

“Cheap meal to feed the kids!!!”

“everything is so dang delicious!”

“Really delicious CA-traditional fusion sushi rolls with ingredients like mango, macadamia nuts, and basil paired perfectly with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. A new favorite!”

“The taco fino fam is amazing! Always such a warm and welcoming experience when I eat here. I like to consider myself a regular here; for those who are curious they have the best carnitas in all of California! Their beef birria is phenomenal and the shrimp taco (taco fino) is equally great!

Come give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. Make sure to give your compliments to the Chef, Sr. Arcelio!”

“Amazing food experience! I tried their brand-new meatball sandwich today, and it was simply delicious—the rich, flavorful sauce genuinely made me feel like I was dining in Italy. The atmosphere was so cozy and comfortable, making it a wonderful place to relax. To top it all off, the ice cream and coffee were absolute perfection. If you're in the area, Rose’s Sandwich is an absolute must-visit! - J&U”

“I tried the Thai Iced Tea with boba 🧋 and it was so yummy! They made it with love and the quality was crisp, not too sugary! This just became my new boba place for sure!”

“Delightfully charming little spot! Welcoming atmosphere and best Americano coffee in a long time. Apparently, not all baristas can make a simple cup that just fills the soul with that perfect sip of magic. Thank you Jaylen💖

Bibim Rice Bowl that was beautiful in presentation but also in flavor. Huge thank you to Dandelion Kaffe for giving us a lovely break during travel. Sometimes you find a gem that stays with you, this was definitely one of those places.”

“Share Pizza always has fresh ingredients and delicious . The sour dough is so good. I love all the different combinations. I have never been disappointed . It's the best Pizza in town ! Thank you Chef Victor and Sharon 😊🍕”

“Genuinely can't express how grateful I am to the staff for such a great experience. Emily is a rockstar and everyone in my group left the restaurant a little bit in love with her. The salmon kama was absolutely scrumptious, and everyone was so grateful for the generous portions. Such a great place to discover after a lovely beach day.”

“I usually don’t write reviews, but I think this crepe store deserves more recognition! The location of this store is very good; it’s located at Park Street, which is incredibly accessible! The guy who took my order was very sweet and friendly! Service was very fast too! My order came out hot and fresh.

As for the taste of my order, I got a sweet crepe #7, Sweet Sunset, that included a very generous portion of strawberries and bananas. The taste of the strawberries and bananas were really refreshing, fresh, and sweet! Their ice cream selection is pretty good, offering matcha, cookies and cream, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. I also really liked the texture of the crepe itself, it was slightly crispy yet bready combined with the Nutella makes the crepe come together to taste super rich.

As for the vibe of the store, the atmosphere is very clean, and has a lot of seats for customers. One thing I liked about the seats is that the owner put cushions for the marbled side which shows that they are really considerate for their customers. I also like the music they played it’s not too loud or too quiet, just the perfect volume. And I like how they have an LED backdrop to take picture of your order!

Basically this place deserves a 10/10, the portions again, were very generous but most importantly filling. I would definitely come back to order more with friends. Do give this spot a try!”

“Delightful dinner with a group of 6. Love that they have reservations! We had a mixed group of vegans and meat eaters and everyone was very pleased - starters, entrees, spices and flavor was spot on. They even surprisingly brought our friends some birthday ice cream! Terrific service all around.”

“Marugame is our absolute go-to for the kids! The menu options make it so easy to find something everyone loves, and the cafeteria-style layout makes ordering a breeze. Everything tastes fantastic, and the dishes are so easy to share across the table. Always a reliable, delicious meal for the whole family.”

“This place was really good. The staff is super friendly. This is definitely going to be one of our go to spots in Alameda. Check it out, keep this local small business around!”

“Fun, creative experience! My son and I had a great time learning from Athena! She is a great teacher and inspired us to get baking!”

“Nice specialty tea place! Went to get hojicha powder, and when I mentioned it was a gift, they put nice tissue paper in the bag. Marlene and Ms Christy were really friendly and gave me a sampling of three matcha powder variations they had in stock.”

“Great beer selection...Cali Squeeze was good, as well as a watermelon sour and a peanut butter stout. I can see why daughter loves it here. Nice bartender and beautiful outdoor space. Good place to bring your dog with water bowls.”

“🌺 A Taste of Hawaii at Shaka Shack! 🌺

We stopped by Shaka Shack for breakfast and had such a nice experience! The food was delicious, comforting, and had that wonderful homemade, homey feel that makes you want to stay awhile.

We tried Da Kine, Kimchi Cucumber, Kalua Pork, and Kai’s Plate with Beef Ribs Kalbi—everything was flavorful and satisfying. The Kalua Pork was especially delicious, with that tender, savory taste that pairs perfectly with a hearty breakfast. The Beef Ribs Kalbi were also a favorite—tender, flavorful, and packed with that delicious Korean-Hawaiian flair.

The Kimchi Cucumber added a refreshing, tangy crunch that balanced out the richer dishes perfectly.

The atmosphere at Shaka Shack is relaxed and welcoming, with a cozy, homey feel that makes it a really pleasant spot for a morning meal. It feels like the kind of place where you can enjoy good food without feeling rushed.

Delicious food, comforting flavors, and a laid-back Hawaiian feel—Shaka Shack is definitely worth a visit for breakfast! 🌴🍳🤙”
