Sharky’s Island Bites

So I'm eating this well because the way are new and I hope they learn from mistakes. 1. I order app cream cheese wonton. I feel like this is a hard dish to get wrong but they did to crispy on edges and not much filling along with very bland flavor. 2. Ordered fried rice with chicken and the chicken was cold like if it was sitting out for a while again not much flavor. The highlight of this place is the slippers they sell and fried rice when made well we had two orders very inconsistent one was warm and fluffy and other was dried up and burnt like it was the bottom of the pan. Overall true score for this place was a 1 star. They had enough staff the day we went just need to care about eh food quality. I don't say this to be mean or rude just my overall experience.

This was a place I have wanted to try for months and I'm glad I did! The place is quaint with a few tables to eat in, lots of beachy stuff and plenty of cute merch. We were greeted by the employees when we entered. The girl at the counter was friendly and answered questions about the menu, they have a LOT to choose from. We ordered the huli huli chicken, chicken fried rice and a Sharky's Jawsome burger and fries. Everything is made to order so there's a wait which is fine as your food is hot. According to the gym guy, the burger was delicious and the only negative was that he prefers medium rare. The fries were hot and had a good crisp to them. The sauce was decent. 10/10Huli huli chicken came with rice and two sides which he went with double Hawaiian mac salad. The chicken was tender, juicy and the sauce was really good. The rice was soft with no undercooked pieces. Mac salad was the best in town. 10/10Chicken fried rice seems to have the same sauce as the huli huli chicken which was amazing. The only thing I would change would be to remove as much of the fat as possible before cooking. The rice was perfect and I enjoyed the little goyza that came with it. 10/10We're definitely coming back to try more items in the future. Remember that everything is cooked fresh so be patient! Good food takes time!

Another great Sharky's Island Bites experience. Tons of food! We showed up about 10 minutes till close to get our food to go...they were super nice, speedy and gave us some pineapple dole whip to sample! Fantastic!!

Despite the crowded, slightly unkempt atmosphere, the food is really good! I had the teriyaki chicken with rice, Mac and salad. Would go back for the food, but will definitely order to-go. Hope they clean it up a bit, declutter and find some storage locations that aren't in the dining area, and the bathroom needed serious attention.

The food was amazing! The smoky taste on the teriyaki chicken and Huli Huli is a game changer.

I visited on a Wednesday during lunch, which might explain why the service took a little longer than expected, despite only having two orders ahead of me. While the garlic shrimp was flavorful, the chicken katsu was a bit dry, and could've used more tonkatsu sauce. The macaroni salad didn't meet my expectations either, as it was quite bland for a Hawaiian mac. The menu is extensive, so I'm sure I'll find something I like on my next visit. I'm really glad to see a Hawaiian spot open up on the Westside, and I'm looking forward to trying more of their dishes! Mahalo!

Service was great, shop is cute, but the overpriced shrimp fried rice was disappointing. I wanted butter garlic rice, which I think is what I got, with shrimp on top of it but it honestly just wasn't very flavorful and was $16. Glad I tried it but won't be one of my go to places.

First time visiting as they just opened. Friendly staff and nice ambience while you wait for your food. Menu is large with lots of options. Tried the Loco Moco which was flavorful. Needed a bit more gravy but can't wait to try it again soon.

We tried Sharky's Island Bites tonight and were pretty underwhelmed. We both got the Great White fried rice, I got steak and the wife got chicken, and we got an order of crab Rangoon. The portions are generous and the staff was friendly, but unfortunately that's where the good ended. The rice is edible but very run-of-the-mill...I can rush better "10-minute fried rice" in my kitchen using instant...their rice didn't seem like it was aged and it relied solely on the garlic for flavor...I realize "garlic" is in the name but that's about all we could taste in the rice. I don't mind a lot of garlic, but it shouldn't overwhelm the dish...it should be there to balance the dish and elevate the flavor, not take it over. The steak was bland and very overdone to the point that it was dry and bordering on being jerky, and the chicken wasn't much better, but at least it had some flavor, though the glaze was almost candied, like it had been sitting under a heat lamp all day, so it was similar to sticky chicken. The crab Rangoon was okay...it was a little bit stingy with flavor, but admittedly my pallet was blown out with garlic before I tasted the Rangoon, and they were at least cooked properly and were pretty well filled, so it was at least passible. I'm generally willing to give a place a second chance before I write it off because places can have an off night, but it cost almost $40 to eat food that tasted like it was reheated for the second time in a grade school cafeteria, and fried rice is not something that's overly difficult. There was nothing in our meal that makes me think it would ever be much better...it certainly didn't live up to the hype of people comparing it to Kobe. There are other things on their menu to try, but if they can't even get rice right, I'm not sure it's worth trying anything else.

Called in a pick up order for 2 plates meals. We have been exited to try this new Hawaiian for a while now, we absolutely love Noble House but this new place was closer to our house. Sadly we were disappointed , the sides were extremely small and clearly very old. We picked up our order 2 hours before close so I would think it should be still be good quality. The meat was over cooked and the bottom of the barrel. Our mac and side salads were extremely small, genuinely both portions didn't even fill up one side. Our appetizers were burnt and once again the rejects. Safe to say we will not be back, that's what we get for cheating on Noble House.
