This place is great! I've tried almost everything here and it's my go to spot. Although the last time I went I felt the Poké bowls got smaller? One of the worst things a poke place can do is skimp on ingredients but it wasn't a huge difference and I'll definitely be back. My friend and I love to go here for breakfast, it's become almost tradition! Overall great place for a unique meal or smoothie read more

Good spot! Fair pricing and really enjoyed my bowl. Only issue is that I wish they had more seating inside!

I HATE spicy food, I'm also not eating meat currently. So I ordered "blackened shrimp" which they should have labeled "wasabi blackened shrimp" instead. The prices are high, the bowls are small, and what shouldn't be spicy is incredibly spicy. A bottle of water cost almost $3.00, ugh that's unreasonable All around fail. read more

Just tried Shaka Bowl for the first time after it was referred to us. YUM! A little pricey at $15 per bowl but it's a hearty meal and you can taste the quality of the products they use. I got a house favorite that was some sort of teriyaki and it was delicious! We will definitely be back to try some other combinations! read more

Best poke bowl ever! Everything at Shaka bowl is already fresh. The store itself is a delight to walk into! The poke bowl pre made menu are all delish but I always like to make my own. You can really taste the freshness of all the fruits and fish that you put into the poke. Just writing this post and thinking about it makes me crave one right now. read more

I love this place and love how close it is to my apartment! The nanner is my favorite oatmeal bowl by far, it has peanuts, peanut butter, banana and something else I can't recall but I promise it's delightful!! I have also had some of the juices from here as well as a poke bowl. The poke bowl was flavorful and fresh as were the juices. Pricing is fair for what you are getting. I am SO happy to have this place nearby. I wish they delivered because some Mornings it's so cold and I want to have oatmeal But not walk my butt over there! Although hey it keeps me moving at least! Definitely check this place out! read more

I have been a fan of Shaka Bowl since the day they opened (yep, waited in the long line to get in). I have since moved out of Hoboken and have tried many acai bowls, and none compare to Shaka Bowl. I have a coworker who lives in the area, so once every few months he brings me one. I have, however, noticed that the size of the bowls have changed - they are much smaller (17oz vs 24oz - yes, I'm a nerd and did a science experiment), but they are still the most delicious acai bowls I have ever had, satisfy all your cravings and keep you feeling full for a good amount of time. So, that being said, GO TO SHAKA BOWL. NOW. read more

I love having Shaka Bowl in my neighborhood. Always friendly service, clean, and great healthy food options. Thank you Shaka!!

So delicious! So many choices to create a poke bowl with lots of toppings and sauces. Everything tasted super fresh! The new sides is a great addition to their menu. There açaí bowls are huge and again great topping. I recently checked out the new location and really liked the ambiance and decor. I used to live in pahoa on the big island so Shaka bowl is my comfort spot in Hoboken. It makes me feel like I'm back on the big island. The service and staff is wonderful as well, so kind and friendly. I highly recommend you check out this place. It's my go to in spot for quick and tasteful meals. P.s- kombucha on tap is to die for! read more

I had multiple good experiences with Shaka Bowl... until Tuesday morning came. I ordered the molokai Cocao in acai bowl, which I usually get Pitaya, and it was one of the worst decisions of my life. I only ate half of it and I had my whole day planned out but then I uncharacteristically got stomach pains, nausea, and vomiting and bedridden for half of the day. I was in such denial about my horrible sickness to be from Shaka Bowl so I had one spoonful of my leftovers and got the same sickness that I had to force myself to vomit. i usually don't leave good or bad reviews but this was a terrible experience and I am staying away from this place for awhile. Shaka Bowl, you need to make sure your ingredients are fresh and up to date if you're serving fruits and fish. read more

I came here a couple weeks back and was not a fan. For one they lacked a variety of protein options compared to other places, I was very surprised that they didn't at least have salmon as an option so I had to stick with ahi tuna. The amount of add-ins and toppings to choose were good and fresh. When I received my bowl I felt like there was definitely not enough fish in it for the price I paid. I also ordered a Sunny Spirulina shake with added protein, no complaints. I loved it and definitely think the price was good for the size I got. read more

Great place right around the corner from me. I've been coming for breakfast pretty much every day for the last few weeks. Usually I get an oatmeal and a smoothie. Staff a super friendly and service is quick. The place has a calm relaxed atmosphere and the music is always good. read more

Amazing addition to Hoboken! All their ingredients are really fresh and they have unlimited toppings! Their workers are all extremely kind and helpful, and are extremely speedy! Perfect spot to enjoy a casual meal. Will definitely be returning. read more

One of the best acai bowls I've ever had and fantastic service. My only complaint is that they haven't opened their Washington Street location yet! read more

Acai bowl was good. Only complain is portions are very small. Other acai bowl shops use a deeper, bigger bowl. Theirs is sort of short and flat. High price, small portion. read more

Love this place, but recently saw employees playing with an (possibly employee's) dog and NOT washing hands prior to returning to work

Delicious! So nice to have healthy options like this in Hoboken . Large portions and the food is really good quality. Such nice customer service. My husband and I will be back! read more

I'm a poke fanatic, pretty much love poke from anywhere, but I was pretty disappointed when I got my bowl from Shaka Bowl. For 12 dollars (smallest size, without any additional costly toppings), the bowl is half the size of a bowl from any other poke place, at the same price. The fish just did not taste fresh at all and I couldn't bring myself to finish the bowl, fearing I could get sick. The Hoboken place itself is beautiful and the workers are really great and friendly. read more

This is honestly my new favorite place in Hoboken! I can't get enough of it. You all have to try it! It's super worth it and fulfilling, you won't regret it read more

I really dug Shaka Bowl when my boyfriend and I stopped by a few weeks ago on a snowy Saturday. They have a great selection of bases - including zucchini noodles!!! - as well as proteins and toppings. The sweet and spicy shoyu sauce is really solid. There are also pitaya and acai bowls with tons of toppings, homemade desserts, and coffee. I'll definitely be back! read more

So I love this place! First of all PITAYA!!!! The shakes are amazing. The bowls are fresh and delicious. I do think the prices are a bit high but I enjoy the food so I will keep returning. I stop in at least once a week. Try it out!!! read more

My husband and I order poke bowls from here a lot. The food and options are great. But every time (literally every time) we order they mix up our selections. Luckily we don't have food allergies but if you do be sure to check and double check!! We also have paid extra for premium toppings and don't receive them. Good place but they just need to pay attention. read more

Glad you updated your store hours on all the major online sources before I made a special trip 20 min out of my way. Oh wait, you didn't . For others, they now close at 9pm. read more

I come here everyday! Everyday twice a day I get their Detox smoothie which is Spinach, Mango, Banana, and Lime (with water). It is delicious. Today was the first day I got their Açaí bowls. I never had açaí before, it was delicious. Pictured here is açaí, granola, almond butter, bananas, mango, and strawberries! My kids went nuts over it. My 2 year old loves the detox drinks and my almost one year old went nuts on the açaí bowl!!! read more

Fresh food at an affordable price. great customer service. ordered for the family once and for myself a few times and was always satisfied. great addition to the food choices in Hoboken read more

Man alive, people can be SO harsh! This place has been open less than a week and some expect it to be totally perfect as well as cater entirely to their personal needs. Opening a restaurant is no small feat, especially when it's in a place like Hoboken and involves raw fish. It takes time to get a feel for things and I really appreciate the owners trying to do something different and healthy away from the sea of mediocrity that is Washington street. I don't usually review anything so new in operation, but I made an exception for this place, on principle. My friend and I went there an hour before closing a few days after they opened. We ordered the Mauna Kea and the Kona and they were both fresh and delicious - maybe a little too much spicy shaka sauce on the Kona, but it is good sauce - I think better to go conservative with that and give the customer the option to request more. Also wasn't crazy about the edamame in the Kona- something about the texture didn't work for me- but it might for others! We got both with rice, one brown, one white. Hope they eventually offer an option to mix greens and rice half and half - I'll just ask next time. Also really hope they offer salmon in the future! A fair amount of ingredients overall for the price. With tax it comes to nearly $15, which seems pricey for something served in a plastic bowl in Hoboken, but it is raw fish and I often find Hoboken to be more expensive than Manhattan (not sure why). I'd be a little suspicious if a place was offering me raw fish and vegetables for cheap. Staff was very nice and attentive and the place is clean and cute. We both left full, happy, and satisfied and plan to return in the future for more poke and other stuff! read more

Shaka has a new green bowl -spinach based with pineapple, banana, bee polen and honey... oh my... absolutely delish!

Had the chicken teriyaki bowl - it was tasty, but for the price, needed to be better. Skimpy on the sauce and only included about 4 small cubes of avocado (which would've added moisture in lieu of the sauce!). Added extra avocado at home. read more

This is a great spot! The poke and acai bowls are large enough to have left overs for a second meal, though my last visit the poke bowl wasn't nearly as large as the first time. Perfect that it's In the Monroe center-makes it easy to pick up food after my am and pm barre classes read more

What a delicious place! The poké was so fresh and the sweet shaka sauce is the best combo. After being in Hawaii I agree with the founders you become obsessed with poké and I'm so happy they decided to come to Hoboken. It's great to see more diverse food options coming to town. The combinations are creative but you can also cater a bowl to what you like. I can't wait to go back! read more

We love Shaka Bowl! We are addicted to the acai/pitaya bowls and we also love the Poke bowls! The service is great and the food is always on point. The owners and staff are very friendly, and remember us every time we come in! Highly recommend! read more

This place is my new go-to in Hoboken for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Staff is super-friendly and place is immaculate. Poke bowl is build your own which I absolutely love and have never seen anywhere else. All the food is extremely fresh as well. Since they've been open for the past week I've gone everyday and have zero complaints. Have tried everything on the menu, love it all. People complaining about pricing have to realize this is normal pricing for poke/acai bowls anywhere in the northeast. Try their cold brew coffee as well, so good!! read more

This use to be my favorite midweek fruit bowl stop. So sad they changed the bowl. My fruit fell out all over in the new plastic cups. You do not get the same generous portion size any longer but the price has stayed the same. I loved that they offered every fruit previously, now you can choose three fruits and some toppings are extra now. I can understand that but please bring the old Shaka bowls back. Fruit is always fresh and delicious . read more

No good...was super pumped for a poke spot in Hoboken, but first and only experience was not good...the brown rice was raw as can be, to the point that I thought I chipped a tooth. Also, there was barely any tuna in the bowl. So I payed 14$ for a bowl of uncooked rice. Not sure if I will give it a second try after that experience. read more

Really good! Fresh ingredients, reasonable prices, and friendly employees. Best breakfast bowls in Hoboken

Fake poke joint! They don't have salmon; then ran out of tuna and all they had left for a poke bowl was chicken or shrimp. Toppings aren't your normal poke bowl toppings either. read more

I've been here twice on the recommendation of a co worker and it's been beyond outstanding both times! The food is fresh the service is quick (even with a line which there often is) I've done build your own poke bowls both times and have literally licked them clean. I'm so happy to have a poke place in Hoboken close to home! They also do acai bowls and other cool breakfast smoothies I'll defiantly have to try out soon! Highly recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Definitely the best "fast food" poke bowls in NJ/NYC area. And on top of that, always greeted with a smile from the awesome stuff!

Everything I have had is pretty good, but nowhere near as awesome as the poke in Hawaii. The food is very fresh and great quality, but the pricing is a bit high and parking is tough. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! If you're not a poke fan they also have delicious shrimp and other toppings. The rice bowls are copious so can make two meals out of it (I love the bowls with pineapple and crispy onions) and don't miss the strawberry lemonade! read more
