I recently tried the Bulgogi Beef Bowl from Shaka Shake Bowl KBBQ, and I was blown away! The bulgogi was perfectly seasoned and tender, with just the right balance of sweet and savory flavors. The addition of kimchi and gochujang really brought everything together, adding a nice tangy kick and spice that complemented the rich beef. The bowl was packed with freshness, and you could tell everything was made with care. Highly recommend it for anyone craving a delicious and satisfying KBBQ experience!

Wow. This is a fantastic food truck serving up some exceptional Korean bowls. You must try the kimchee too. It’s located on the Polynesian Cultural Center. Put on the sauces and shake up your bowl. A must stop while on the north side of Oahu and driving through Laie!

I tried the kid’s size Bulgogi Beef Bowl at Shaka Shake Bowl KBBQ, and it was a solid choice. The bulgogi beef was flavorful, tender, and packed with that sweet, savory marinade. I added some number 4 sauce for an extra kick, and it really brought a nice balance of spice and umami. Shaking the bowl mixed everything up well, ensuring every bite was flavorful. Portion-wise, the kid’s size was a perfect, satisfying meal without being overwhelming. Overall, it’s a great option for a quick and tasty KBBQ fix!

Amazing kalbi plate! Literally the best that I’ve had since my mom passed away. Hubby had the dak chicken and it was cooked to perfection - not at all dry and great flavor. Highly recommended food truck in the parking lot area of the Polynesian Cultural Center. A few tables around the food trucks to sit and enjoy your meal. Free 2-hour parking on this side of the lot.

Fabulous Fast Food! A pre PCC lunch and it was excellent! My wife and I both got a bowl (pork and chicken) and were both totally delish! The portions were perfect for a sustaining visit at the PCC, meat, rice, noodles and cabbage. And a mandu (Korean dumpling)! Of course they also had some of the wonderful sauce available. You get to tailor make your own heat level. There was a heat, but also a wonderful flavor! The nice people who operated the restaurant were very friendly. The experience set us up nicely for our PCC visit!
