I wish they sold the sauce on the side, it's incredible! The burger was the perfect size for me, and the crinkle fries were also nice and crispy as well.

Located in Chinatown so parking can be tricky but there are always paid lots and structures that you can park in. Scored street parking on a Saturday mid-afternoon and ordered takeout via Toast. Toast gives an excellent estimated wait time that's accurate. Inside there is limited seating at the table and the bar and I think there is outdoor seating but no alcoholic beverages are allowed outside. They serve alcohol inside but unsure what kind. Their smash burger is so good and hits every time. It tastes fresh and I like the sauce they add to it. Fries are great too and not too soggy or crispy. I would recommend trying this place out!

This has long been one of my family's favorite places to enjoy burgers in town. We've been coming…read morehere since the very first location on Amana Street. The burgers are always delicious, and we've made many memories here over the years. I even celebrated my graduation with my family here, and the owner has always been incredibly warm and friendly. I still remember him greeting us from the back after we finished eating and made time to chat with us which I appreciate. That's why writing this review is honestly difficult. I spent the whole day debating whether to post this because I've always loved this place, but I left yesterday feeling deeply disappointed and heartbroken. Yesterday's experience was very different from what we've come to expect. We arrived before 1:30 PM, placed our order around 1:40 PM, and didn't receive our food until after 2:10 PM--over 30 minutes later. I completely understand that Saturdays are busy and delays happen. What hurt more was seeing several customers who arrived after us, and even ordered after us, receive their food first. There was even a group we chatted with who came in after us, ordered after us, got their food before us, and were almost finished eating while we were still waiting. Being left there without any explanation made me feel overlooked, and I honestly couldn't help feeling hurt and wondering whether we were being discriminated because we looked different. We've lived here for over eight years, and our family has always tried to be respectful and supportive of the local community. Maybe that's part of why this experience affected me so deeply. I may be wrong, and I truly hope I am, but I couldn't help leaving with a feeling of being discriminated against. The service from the beginning also felt very unlike our previous experiences. When we arrived and said we wanted to order takeout, the server did not give us a menu. We had to look for one ourselves. She walked away and started doing something else without saying anything to us. In the past, staff were always welcoming, handed us menus, and gave us time to decide. What made it more disappointing was that after we finally received our order, there was no acknowledgment or apology. I noticed the server apologizing to other customers, especially Japanese customers (I understand some Japanese), which honestly made the experience even more upsetting for me. I truly hate writing this because this place means a lot to my family. Maybe this was just one bad day, and I sincerely hope it was, because we've loved Carl Oji for years. I also want to say I'm sorry to the owner. When we were leaving, he shouted "thank you" to us like he always does, and I couldn't bring myself to reply. Maybe it will take me some time before I'm ready to come back after this experience. I truly hope things improve because this place has been special to my family for a long time, and that's exactly why this hurt so much.

Fries were also golden brown and super crispy--didn't even need sauce or ketchup. We also picked up a couple guava cheesecakes and pumpkin crunch, which didn't disappoint. We came on a Saturday and there were a few people in front of us, but the food came out super fast. We also witnessed the new mural being painted across their wall, which is a work of art in itself. Sorry, didn't get too many good photos because I ate before my camera did (and didn't even get a picture of my dessert).

We were disappointed because the burgers didn't have that bbq taste we're used to and it also wasn't hot...it was room temperature so we didn't enjoy it. Another thing we didn't care for was the fries. It was hot but hard and salty. Didn't seem like the same fries they used to have. First time experiencing this from here. Just wondering...was there a change in ownership? Not sure if I'll be craving for their burger and fries for a while. So sad...

It's great, especially when my husband and I were just on a poke kick the entire trip and wanted MEAT. Butttttt at $9 it's definitely not something I'll go back to. I get it though, it's Waikīkī and the import of beef probably? But I just expected a little more jazz to it--gimme some more veggies, or fried onions, or a really special sauce so I can really justify that price tag. There are tables nearby so you can definitely eat there if needed! Seemed like a great fast casual dinner or lunch spot. No complaints about service. They were friendly and I got my burger pretty fast! Overall, not really a place I'd visit again, just in comparison with all the other food spots around.

The flavors were on point, perfectly balanced, and seriously satisfying. Even with a solid crowd when I came in, they moved at a great pace and had my order out pretty quickly, which I definitely appreciated. The shop itself is clean, well kept, and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in their establishment. Now here's my one (very passionate) request: as a sandwich spot, I would LOVE to see a true NYC bodega style chopped cheese added to the menu. Ever since my trip to New York City, I've been reminiscing about those chopped cheese sandwiches nonstop. There's just something different about them. It honestly surprises me that on the island we can find cheesesteaks everywhere, but not a single place offering a legit chopped cheese! If you guys ever decide to add a proper chopped cheese to the lineup, I promise I'd be a weekly regular without hesitation. I know I'm not the only one who would appreciate it! Until then, I'll definitely be back for another Earl's Cheesesteak. Solid food, clean atmosphere, and great service. Keep it up, and please consider bringing a chopped cheese to the island!

There is a private lot that you can park in, so parking is free and not an issue. However, looking for this place might be. It's literally just a black door with a white window and red light above it that's located next to the stairs and on the first floor. Just roll up to the door/ window where you can find their menu. It's a pretty small menu but what is offered is out of this world! I don't know where else you would get a double patty smash burger for only $9! Just push the button and a guy will open The window to help you. Once you place your order bell close it again and you'll just have to wait for it to be prepared. He'll open it up again when your food is ready and that is when you pay for your goods. It gave me mafia vibes here and it felt so secretive lol. Kind of like a speakeasy but for burgers? Lol I'm sure the effects would be moreso in the middle of the night with a little red light on the door. I picked up the og burger + onion rings. Their fry sauce was sweet chili oil + Mayo and fried to perfection. But - I think for just $2 more I should have got the other burger instead. Lol. The burger was huge and so juicy. I will totally come back again cause it was that good!

The place is very hard to locate, due to the lack of good signage, but it's in the shopping center right next to the Lobster King. Parking is very difficult too, so maybe have another person with you who can order and wait for the food. I'm not going to lie, the wait time for the food is extremely long for just burgers and fries--took more than 30 minutes--but please keep in mind this is a small business. I think there were only 2 or 3 people working, an auntie, uncle, and a younger guy who I believe was cooking. The food looked so beautiful but everything was too salty and the patties were way too charred, which I'm hoping was a one off thing. I did DM them on social media shortly after picking up our order and they said it was an off day. They offered for me to come back one day so they can make things right, but I don't know if I'll have the time to swing by anytime soon. I truly hope this business does well, they are the sweetest people I've met in the last few months, and I wish them nothing but the best. I hope others have a better experience than I did. I mean look at how beautiful their burgers are!

The guava bar was delicious and flavorful and just crumbles in your mouth! Definitely one of the better guava bars I've tried. Love how crumbly it is. The salmon belly was delicious OMFG. It looks so simple and straightforward but that sht is so flavorful. It is crispy and yet soft on the inside. The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers! Uncle was very helpful and kind when serving and if you dine-in he brings it to your table.

There is a dedicated parking lot behind the restaurant that is shared with the other businesses in the same building. When I walked into the restaurant at about 1pm on a Wednesday, I was surprised to find it almost empty. It's a pretty large space, so the lack of patrons was rather glaring. There was one person sitting at the counter facing the kitchen and one employee working. This was my very first visit to Guava Smoked so I asked the person at the counter what he recommends. He said the two most popular meats are the kalbi and the spicy pork. "Perfect!" I thought, because those were the two options I was eyeing. Unfortunately, they were out of kalbi that day. Bummer... Nothing else on the menu caught my eye, so I ordered a smoked spicy pork plate to go. The spicy pork was good. Did it blow my mind? I wouldn't say it did. But it was satisfying enough. Honestly, I really wish they had kalbi available when I went. Hopefully next time I stop in they will.
