Reviews for The Shaka Brah Cafe in Salem, OR
My wife and I tried Shaka Brah for the first time this morning, and I have to say this is the way a family run business should... be. We received the kind of excellent service you are lucky to get once or twice a year. They had an electrical issue and someof the food was not ready at opening (when we got there). The owner told us about the delay and said he is comping one of ourlunches. We told him that was not necessary and he insisted. The food and service was outstanding and we will certainly berepeat customers. Read more
Dear lord, this food is amazing! If you need a lunch for 2 or 3, 1 plate is enough! So filling, so tasty and healthy and fresh!... I love the staff and how friendly they are! So very worth a short wait for some really tasty food! Read more
Went here yesterday as my family and I enjoyed the food truck multiple times recently. We were hoping for a great experience as... the new brick and mortar just opened. Menu was bigger, awesome! They had just ran out of spam musubi, bummer but can\'t holdthat against them though. Ordered and got our food promptly and received great service as usual. No problems there. Everythinglooked great. Brought it home and started chowing down. Everything was perfectly tasty, untiiiiil the Mac salad. I don\'t knowif they changed the recipe but it tasted almost rotten. I spit it out and threw the rest out immediately. Very very nasty. Onthe food truck I typically got mac salad as a pallette cleanser, it was always super tasty and consistent each time. But thisMac salad in the store was super disappointing. I\'ll give the Mac salad another try next time before I order it. Again the restof the food was awesome but the Mac salad demoted from a regular 4.5-5.0 star rating down to a 3. Hopefully it was a fluke butman oh man that stuff was naaaaaasty. I used to work for L&L Hawaiian bbq and grew up around natives of the islands, I\'m noexpert in the matter but something was way off. I\'ll change my review if it\'s better next time. Read more
We\'ve enjoyed the food cart multiple times, and so tonight we tried the brick and mortar location. While the rest of our meal... was delicious, the Mac salad tasted a lot different, and we were kind of disappointed. Hopefully you guys didn\'t change therecipe on the Mac salad ???? Read more
I have eaten at shaka brah a few times now getting various items on the menu and all has been delicious! their shoyu chicken is... incredible - falls apart and great flavor. the poke is also great! I also think the prices are very fair for the amount you get,the portions are large!! they do have a bit of a wait sometimes so I would call ahead, and keep in mind they usually don’thave everything on the menu! we will definitely be back many times.

This place is awesome! I\'ve been twice now - terikyaki chicken the first time, pineapple beef tips today - and both have been... absolutely delicious. The standard plate with rice and mac salad (or whatever other side you choose) is a great value for thegenerous portions. The staff both times were super friendly and helpful. Fave new lunch spot for sure! Read more
I was kinda bummed out. I ordered two plates one chicken teriyaki& the other was short rib & also Portuguese sausage. Waited... longer then was told, had 5 people come in after me and left way before me and I was on a lunch break???? had to wait again cusI was given spam instead of sausage ????. And idk ??????? but that kinda looks like beef teriyaki not short rib ????. Aside fromthat…food was delicious. Customer service was good. Cashier offered me drinks for the wait. Read more
If you\'re HUNGRY then this is the spot. Their servings are crazy! I honestly can\'t believe how much food they give you with... any meal you order, it\'s incredible & its straight up FIRE & worth every single cent. I cannot say enough good things aboutthis place, & I will seriously drive 44 miles just for their food. Read more
