In addition to hot foods, they also serve ice cream and "shave ice." Shakas features surf/Hawaiian decor and has two fairly large tiki carvings very prominently placed. It is the first Hawaiian restaurant I have seen that actually features standing tiki carvings; most will go for a couple of hanging masks or some framed artwork, but this place gets points for going the full nine. Interestingly, it is located maybe a mile and a half or so from the site of Danny Balsz's original "The Tikis." I thought I would note that the food here is very good and reasonably priced!
