My family and I went for lunch. We got two Kuhio chicken sandwiches, one Keiki chicken tender meal, one Waimea burger, and one pipe line burger. everything was cooked to perfection. so delicious. the Manager Christine made us feel so welcome, like family. she was fantastic and was running the place very smoothly! we didn't wait long for food, and we thouroughly enjoyed it! read more

Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Ambiance 9/10 Aloha, I had a great experience dining here! The manager, Christine, was incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived. She made us feel genuinely welcomed, took great care of us throughout our meal, and was quick, attentive, and friendly the entire time. Her excellent service made an already enjoyable visit even better. The food was fantastic. The burger was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly, while the fries were extra crispy with a delicious garlic flavor that really stood out. Since it's an open-air restaurant, it was a little warm dining at around 1:00 p.m., but that was the only minor downside. Overall, everything was lovely, and Christine's outstanding hospitality made the experience memorable. I would definitely come back! read more

Debbie D was in Waikiki the same time I was, so after I walked over to where she was staying, I told her there was this place for lobster rolls on Kalakaua. However, they were closed on Mondays....sad face! So we just started walking. We found ourselves at Ala Moana East...LOL! Walking through it all, we reminisced about the old International Market Center. We started toward the Food Hall, and Debs said that Banzai Burger was good, so we went. The woman working was so nice! I ordered a Waimea burger which has two patties, cheese, sauteed onions, and bacon. It was good and came with some nice crispy fries. Deb ordered a child's meal with two little sliders and fries. We sat facing Kuhio and watched all the different people walking by. It was all very fun because some of them were funny to watch! It's interesting how some of the tourists will not venture outside of Waikiki and would only do so on a tour. Banzai does have some really cold Coronas, so I suggest coming here, sitting back, and watch the world go by! Mahalo Banzai! read more

This burger absolutely hit the spot. Super juicy, packed with flavor, and exactly what you want when you're hungry. Every bite hit all the right notes! If you're ever walking around and just craving a filling meal, this is it. This, and hit the beach for some sun and swim. I was the only one there, so the service was fast and enjoyed it quietly. Tables face the sidewalk so you'll get a nice breezy while eating. But around noon it'll get slightly busy. It's definitely on the greasy side, which might not be for everyone, but honestly that's part of what makes it so good. Just indulge from time to time. read more

Quite disappointed in the speed of service and the taste of my food. The gravy tasted scorched, which affected the flavor of everything else. The portion size was large. It is a counter order and pickup. Seating area was very small and loud. Good people watching on kuhio avenue! read more

Stopped by Banzai Burger for a quick bite, and ordered the Waimea Burger along with a side of garlic parmesan fries. The Waimea Burger comes with two patties and is extremely filling, definitely a solid option if you're hungry. The garlic parmesan fries were super crispy and packed with flavor. That said, the food was very greasy: there was a literal puddle of grease at the bottom of the tray, which ended up making the bun and the fries underneath soggy and a bit unappealing by the time we got to them. On the plus side, service was fast - our order was ready within 5 minutes, making this a convenient stop when you're short on time. Don't think I would come back here though, given the presentation. read more

We wanted a quick meal after getting back late from the beach and were craving a burger. We stumbled upon Bonzai Burger and decided to check it out. I ordered the Waimea Burger. It was a decent burger overall. The patty was fairly large and had a good sear on it. However, I felt something was missing, as the burger relied heavily on the sauce to provide most of the flavor. One thing I wish they had done better was the prep. The buns were somewhat soggy by the time we received the food. The bottom bun was already sitting in a puddle of grease, likely from the burger or the fries, which made it unappetizing. The fries themselves were crispy and flavorful at first, but they had the same issue. The grease pooled at the bottom, making the lower layer of fries soggy by the time you reached them. read more

Raw burger - absolute waste of a meal. I didn't take a photo of the garlic fries, but they gave me a stomach ache due to how greasy they were (dark grease - obviously old). I understand that while this is the International Marketplace and at the Food Court I shouldn't expect much, my burger meat should be cooked all the way through. Contact me for a refund. read more

I don't really get all the good reviews. I got a chicken sandwich for 17$ that didn't come with a side so shame on me there but I was starving and everything else had lines. I get it Waikik is a tourist trap but this was crazy. The sandwich itself was just ok read more

Banzai Burger offered a vegetarian option- portobello burger and it was amazing!!! One wasn't enough for two so my hubby couldn't really split this time. The garlic fries are really good. Service was fast and easy. You order at the counter and you pick up when your name is called. The ambiance is a chill backyard vibe and the table we sat on kept moving awkwardly as some screws were lose or missing. Overall though, great prices, good food and I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area. read more

Banzai Burger - Portobello burger with garlic fries - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We wanted to eat something but kept it light so that we don't feel too tired, we ended up having our 1 burger cut in half and served with fries from each half. Food was great, it also had lots of fries for us. The place had outdoor seating within Waikiki, the cashier knew I was in the military so she asked for ID to confirm and had given me a discount too. (Appreciate that so much). Our food was ready within minutes of the order, we sat directly in front of their counter on where it was served, it was sunset by then so we needed extra light as it got darker. It was loud because of how busy it was in the area but, we were so focused in our meal. This is a nice little stop within the Waikiki area at the first floor where Target was located nearby. read more

Christine is one of the best managers they have. Her radiant personality makes you feel welcome. the food is also excellent.

Fresh, hot and made to order. Burger was super fresh and hot, garlic fries were awesome. Service was fast and friendly.

I came into Banzai with expectations thinking if it was gonna be a good place to eat, and, sure enough, they definitely delivered. From the look of it, I surely didn't anticipate it to be a small place to sit down and enjoy the food. However, it wasn't that difficult to find a place to enjoy and eat something over there. So...I ended up ordering the Mushroom and Onion Burger (without cheese), and visually, the presentation was striking. They did a good job with the amount of mushrooms on the burger (while not making it really messy). My one issue was that I couldn't really taste the onions. It was subtle, but not sure if it got lost with the amount of mushrooms on there, but, it wasn't really that much to nitpick on, especially when the flavor delivered. They put just enough of that steakhouse sauce to hold up well for the burger. Despite the price, it was good for what it's worth. I almost came close to wanting the Smokey BBQ burger, but maybe next time, I'll consider trying that out. It's a 9.5/10 for me. A bit more onion would have helped out there. read more

Hmm, I'm not sure what the hype is about this place, but perhaps I went at the wrong time and ordered the wrong item. There was a pretty long line so I was excited about it since it's in a food hall and all the other places did not have so great reviews. Also, the person at the front was not super friendly -- it seemed like she wanted the shift to end and wanted to get out of there. Ambiance is a quick grab-and-go. ITEMS WE TRIED: - Loco Moco: the sauce was way too salty. I wish I could have washed the sauce off of the patty unfortunately. I think the prominent flavor was just salt and there was nothing else special. PARKING: not sure, it's in Honolulu in Waikiki so might be tough, we walked. PRICE: most dishes are about $10-20 here. Overall, I would likely pass on this next time unless someone tells me that the burgers are way better than the dish that I tried. read more

Tried the Waimea Burger at Banzai Burger and let me tell you--this thing was a tower of delicious chaos. Two patties, bacon, lettuce, pickles, cheese, mayo, ketchup, and mustard all crammed into one glorious bun. I needed two hands, a strategy, and a halftime break to finish it. Totally worth it. The BBQ fries came in hot and crispy, though someone in the kitchen definitely went full pirate mode with the seasoning--*a little salty, matey!* Still tasty, just keep a drink nearby. Service was awesome--fast, friendly, and no judgment for unhinging my jaw to eat that burger. Solid experience all around. Would absolutely burger again. read more

This burger place was so damn good, we had to go back the same day to take some to-go back to our hotel to enjoy later- B then compared every burger place to this one, just couldn't compare! Located in Kuhio Food hall, I found on Yelp and had to give it a try. We got the Hawaiian burger and it was delicious. Very good. Something about the combo of pineapple and teriyaki sauce was great. Prices were decent for the area. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch, the food was fresh and hot. Auntie Christine was very friendly and kind. Will be back!

It was a slow afternoon - you figure the food wouldn't be rushed and there would be more quality and care... but NOPE! Super greasy burger and super greasy fries. Cashier/server was not in the mood either - no aloha sprit there. read more

Today I went to banzai burgers for the first time in some years and I had the most exceptional outstanding service ! The manager Christine is amazing,efficient,& personable ! I had my toddler with me and she was throwing a tantrum & Christine was quick to offer help and made sure to get my baby's food out quickly as possible which I also appreciated so much. I love that there is a veggie friendly option the portobello mushroom burger is my absolute fave with garlic fries! I will always be a returning customer to this establishment this is one of the few affordable great spots to eat in Waikīkī where everything is consistently served with "ALOHA!! read more

This is where you go when you're in the mood for a fat juicy burger! My Other Half and his crew has been coming to this place for a lunch break on a regular basis.

Christine is the best! She's always there taking everyone's order with a huge smile and a friendly chat. She's ALWAYS in a great mood and I totally welcome her warm, high energy! The burgers are packed with flavor, there are a variety of them. So far, i've tried their mushroom & onion burger, the Waimea burger and the portobello burger. It's hard to say which is my favorite because they are all so good. And if you love garlic like I do, don't forget to get their garlic fries! They have various shakes, chicken wings & other sides and have a breakfast menu too. Very decent price for Waikiki. Located in the Kuhio Food Hall on Kuhio Avenue in the International Market Place. read more

I can in about an hour ago to try this spot for the first time with my girlfriend. Looking at the menu my lady decided to order a burger and the chicken sandwich looked good to me. While placing the order for a burger and chicken sandwich I asked the person taking out order if the onion rings were good and crispy and she replied with "yes super crispy" I then replied with "lets add a side of onion rings". We ordered to go. Reason for the deduction on stars is because when I got back to my hotel I opened the food and saw that i was given 2 burgers and a side of fries. Received a completely different order than what I placed. Not only did I pay a steep $39 for the food, it wasn't even what I wanted. Would've gave less stars but the burger wasn't that bad. Still extremely disappointed. read more

Banzai Burger - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

During my vacation to Oahu, I was craving a pineapple burger and decided to give Banzai Burger a try. I was really excited and had high expectations based on the positive reviews I had read, but unfortunately, the burger didn't live up to the hype. The teriyaki sauce was overpoweringly salty and had a strange taste, and the brioche bun was excessively oily. I ended up forcing myself to eat it since it was expensive and I didn't want to waste food. I even had to remove the bread and use napkins to soak up some of the teriyaki sauce just to make it a little less salty. I also ordered the garlic fries, which tasted overcooked. Maybe it was just an off night for them, but either way, I was disappointed to have used one of my vacation meals at this restaurant. read more

I recently had one of the best burger experiences ever in Hawaii!!I he burger was absolutely incredible. I've been twice in 2 days. Every bite was delicious. What made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service from Christine. She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive from the moment we walked in. Christine went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel so welcomed. Her positive attitude and friendly personality truly elevated the whole visit. Amazing food is always a win, but when you combine it with service like Christine's, it turns a great meal into a memorable experience. I'll definitely be coming back -- and recommending this place to everyone I know! read more

We stopped by here for lunch, and my daughter ordered the kids slider meal, with cheese only. When we first got the order, it was literally 2 buns with just cheese! My daughter took it up and they were quick to make it right. Christine brought it out to us and apologized for the literal order taking. We had a good laugh. She was incredibly nice and super friendly. We have loved this place and eaten here three times during our visit. The birders are delicious and the fries are perfectly crispy. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for a good burger. Hubby got the Kuhio chicken sandwich one time, and he loved it. read more

I ordered a Hawaiian Burger and my husband ordered the Waimea. My burger was absolutely too salty. I believe it's from the teriyaki. I could only eat half of it and will not order this burger again. The Waimea is good if you have a huge appetite. Their fries and onion rings were fried to perfection. The service was great. Got greeted by a friendly staff. Ambiance was simple and casual. You get to sit outside and enjoy a nice breeze near some coconut trees accompanied by the hustle and bustle of one of Waikīkī's busy streets. Local island music in the background is always a plus. I'm only giving a 3 stars because I couldn't handle how salty my burger was. I'd definitely come back but order something different since it's a few minutes walk from where we stayed. read more

Located in the Kūhiō food hall, it's a good lunch treat if you're visiting Kalākaua Blvd. & hitting up all the stores in the area. Plenty of indoor seating to choose from in the food court. Ordering was easy, and the service was as pretty quick as our food was ready within 15min. We ordered the Portbello, Hawaiian, and a kid's chicken tender meal. The burgers were delicious, and honestly, the kids' meal surprised us too. The portion was definitely good for an adult with the fries included. If we're in the area and craving a good burger, we'll be back! read more

If you're looking for a really quick burger to fend off hunger, this is the place to go. Was seriously not expecting too much since there is so many food options on Kalakaua but the hubby was craving a burger. And boy this place proved me wrong! I order the portobello mushroom burger and it was so delicious especially being on brioche bun. The fries were perfectly fried.. it really hit the spot. Husband and son in law both got the pipeline burger and they even said it was so good they just wish it was bigger. I thought it was big already. And my daughter got Keiki chicken nugget meal which I don't know which keiki eats that much but it was a huge portion that she had to share since she couldn't finish it. Service was quick and being on a side street it wasn't crazy busy and the outdoor/patio seating was ok. If you want more space, can easily bring your food to the inside of the food hall that it's connected to. Try this place out! Won't disappoint! read more

We came here for dinner on a Thursday night and it was extremely busy! There was a long line and alot of the patrons seemed to be indecisive on their orders despite having had ample time to view the menu. The staff was as efficient as they could be. The wait was long for our food but it was not terrible. We took the food to go since the seating was packed. Our burgers were made well. Cooked to our specifications and ingredients seemed to be fresh and high quality. Overall it was a decent experience for burgers on the island in a touristy spot. read more

We had such a great experience at Banzai Burger thanks to Christine, the manager. She was incredibly diligent and careful when helping us navigate allergens for my daughter, who is allergic to dairy and nuts. We wanted to order açaí bowls for breakfast. Christine went above and beyond by bringing out the granola package and walking us through the ingredient list so we could verify everything ourselves. Thanks to her thoroughness, we confirmed it did contain milk and tree nuts and were able to make a safe alternative choice. Because of Christine's attention to detail and genuine care, my daughter was able to enjoy an açaí bowl safely, which means so much to us. We are truly grateful for her kindness and professionalism--she made us feel completely comfortable and taken care of! read more

First and foremost, the cashier was AMAZING. I wasn't able to catch her name, but she worked night shift on 1/3/2026; she constantly interacted with all of the guests and took all of our trash before we got the chance to get up and do it ourselves. On top of that, the food was amazinggggg and this is the best burger I've tasted on island, coming from a local from Hawaii. read more

Banzai Burger - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great location to watch people on the strip while you eat since Kuhio is one of the busiest areas for foot traffic. I saw it had 4.5 stars so I was expecting exceptional taste and quality then saw the pictures on the poster and decided that I'd give it a shot. The burgers aren't bad, they're just fast food quality and I expected more for the prices. I'm not a health nut and I can appreciate a fat sloppy burger here and there since I spend 40-50 hours in the gym monthly. These burgers were greasy on another level though. I had to use like 7-8 napkins as I fought through each cholesterol and calorie soaked bite. The bacon was soggy as one would expect when drenched in grease, but the taste was not worth the days I took off my lifespan by consuming that much grease. 3 stars feels like a generous rating, especially since it's rated so high. Again, I don't mind indulging in a fat sloppy burger, but this one wasn't tasty enough to justify at the price I paid. Could've gotten a drive through burger meal for less than half the price. Fries were good tho read more
