Love it! I Would definitely return and be a restoring customer for the excellent service I receive upon arrival

Arrived at What the Truck at 3:30pm (official start time is at 4pm), and there was already a line for JOJA's. Since we were here, we decided we had to check it out. Waited in line for about an hour to place an order and then another 45 minutes for our order to be ready. The burgers and truffle parmesan fries all arrived hot and fresh. Fries were hot and crispy - subtle truffle flavor, could've used a little more parmesan. As for the burger, soft pillowy bun and full of cheese. The burger was moist and had the bite from being smashed. However, to us, the flavor was lacking somewhat. Truffle flavor, again, was subtle. More like a 3.5 out of 5. Glad to have given them a try, but don't think it was necessarily worth the wait. read more

JOJA - Smash burger - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've had these burgers twice from What the Truck in Waikele. Both times we waited for over an hour for them. One thing I can say is the workers are very hard working and I know they are great at their craft. Thanks for producing such great burgers. They are consistent in flavor and juicy. It definitely hits the spot. The star has to be the truffle sauce. Now on my end, I don't know if am patient to wait this long for a burger again. Both times I was super hangry by the time I got my food. I do understand the hype so huge respect for Joja. read more

We finally got to try the infamous truffle smash burger we've always seen a long line for every weekend at the Kakaako Farmers Market on Saturday's. Shoutout to our friend Brian who waited one hour and 15 minutes to get these insanely delicious burgers that didn't disappoint and definitely lived up to the hype. We got the double patty truffle smash burger and added bacon. The truffle aioli was out of this world! JOJA truly puts on a show for people as he systematically cooks dozens of burgers in front of the crowds and the masses patiently wait for their mouthwatering lunch. I will continue to have dreams about this meal! I love how the farmers market has tables for people to sit down and enjoy their food and even have hand washing stations. This is our favorite farmers market in Honolulu and JOJA is now just one of the many reasons why! read more

Really good smash burgers the truffle sauce is powerful so if you don't like truffle, get it without. They do not skimp on the onions which I love. Usually 99.99% of the time they have a really long line, hope you don't mind waiting, it's worth it! read more

Writing this review is a bit challenging for me because I've been a big fan of this food truck for a long time, and this is actually the first time I've tried their smash burger. I'll do my best to be objective. We went to an event at Waikai, and around 6:45 PM, I lined up to place my order. I got the Oklahoma Smash Burger, which comes with two patties smashed together with cheese and what seemed like mayonnaise sauce. After placing my order, I ended up waiting a long time for my food. However, while waiting, I got to watch the cook prepare the burgers and smash the patties, which was pretty cherreh to see. It took about 45 minutes to finally get my burger. One thing I noticed is that they take orders and fulfill them in batches. The staff takes around 10-15 orders at once, then the main man puts all the patties on the grill and starts smashing them. This method makes the wait time longer, but I understand they're likely doing this to ensure they don't mix up orders. Also, with a small team, it's understandable that food preparation takes a bit longer. When I finally got the burger and took my first bite, I was disappointed--it tasted very bland, and I barely noticed any salt. I'd give the burger a 5/10. It wasn't bad, but it was just a regular burger, nothing special. The long wait was also an issue for me, so I'd rate the wait time a 3/10. However, I understand the delay was probably due to the way they take the orders. On the positive side, the staff really impressed me. I could see how hard they worked and how much effort they put into making the burgers. For their dedication, I'd give them a 10/10. The loaded fries were fantastic, earning a 10/10, and the regular fries were solid too, getting a 9/10. Overall, I'd rate the experience at this event a 7/10. While the burger wasn't great and the wait was long, the fries were excellent, and the staff was hardworking and passionate. I'd recommend trying the food for yourself, but if you're at a busy event like the one at Waikai, be prepared for a long wait. Ultimately, we went for the experience and the good vibes, not just the food. Definitely try the fries--they're worth it! read more

When I say these burgers are LEGENDARY, I mean it. Joja is a man working the grill and he does a damn good job at that! These lines are INSANELY long for a reason. If you don't know, this is an Oklahoma smash burger and has been around since the 1920's. The flavor from maillard reaction in the meat (the dark brown burnt bits on the patty) and the steam that is released cooks the onions to PERFECTION. he then flips the onions onto the grill to get a wonderful brown and adds that legendary slice of American cheese. Joja's burgers stand out bc they have so much flavor from the style of cooking, to the cheese, to the TRUFFLE sauce that HUGS this burger. I'm not going to lie, I'm not a huge fan of truffle oil flavor because must of the time it's not true truffle (it tends to be a chemical added to oil that is similar to the more pungent white truffle). But Joja's burger sauce blends well with the other creamy flavors imparting a wonderful experience through every bite. It's juicy, it's filling, it's just so good! I also got the Bacon truffle cheese fries - they're great too! Everything is good! The bacon is cooked perfectly, not super crunchy so the pork flavor comes out nicely. They ran out of pickled jalapeños (which is fine, next time) and the parmesan cheese on top adds a nice bite that compliments everything. And DO NOT forget the spicy orange sauce, it's fire. in fact, get two or three to make sure you have enough for every fry. The price is a little high for this all, but when you take a bite of everything, you can taste the love put into it. Worth the wait, worth the hype, worth the $$$. Stop by Joja's early because they do run out. read more

Boy, oh boy. Without question, this right here is the most talked-about burger on the island. Probably even the whole state. Every foodie influencer or what have you has this place plastered all over their page; it's spread through social media like wildfire, and is definitely the hottest thing going in town. Picture lines longer than a North Shore barrel, hordes crowding around the griddle to snag a video, and the whole joint selling out before the clock even strikes 11... it can be a challenge to even get your hands on one of these things. Given the burger crush my family has been on lately, this place was naturally something we had to check out for ourselves. I'm a big fan of the "know your identity" approach -- doing one thing well, and committing to perfecting it. Joja certainly subscribes to this philosophy; there's one burger on the menu, and that's what you're here for. The standard Joja burger comes with two smashed patties, a heap of griddled onions, melted cheese, and toasted buns. After stacking everything up, the whole thing is then doused in house-made truffle sauce. It was a little startling to see how much was squirted onto each burger, but this definitely turned out to be the star of the show; not too overwhelming, as is all too easy to do with anything involving truffle oil. Really good. I do think the meat itself was a letdown, though; although uncle working the griddle clearly seasoned them liberally, we were all in agreement that it was definitely not as robustly beefy or flavorful as we were hoping for, on the blander side for sure, so that was disappointing. The onions could have been caramelized a little more as well. The total package was clearly carried by the sauce, which to be fair carried it pretty far... but maybe not quite into "excellent" territory. Overall: a fair, solid burger to be sure, but a touch shy of being worthy of the rabid fanfare that has followed... or the sheer effort it takes to get one. You're only able to get your hands on these things one or two days a week -- Saturday at the Kaka'ako Farmer's Market, and pop-up appearances here and there. Not everyone is ready to line up and inhale a burger at 8 in the morning, either, but sometimes that's what it takes to secure one since they sell out so quickly. I might brave a line like this *only* for the best burger of my life, but I'm not sure this one quite fits that bill. I will add that everyone here is incredibly friendly, and it's clear they are putting their heart and soul into their cooking; it is always worth supporting an operation like that. So if you're up for a bit of a wait and an early rise, come grab one for yourself :) read more

Am i crazy enough to stand in line for almost 75 minutes for a burger? Yes I am but I would ONLY do it for Joja burger! I stood in line for a crazy long line at this past Friday's Waikele truck event, i came later than I wanted when there was already a huge crowd and long line but i soooo wanted a Joja burger w Truffle french fries. It's the best smashed burger on island, their truffle sauce w the spicy side hot sauce, just makes my mouth water w the tender juicy smashed burger w onions and generous amounts of of cheese, and smells so good in line. Love love! read more

They're literally smashing it!!! I've enjoyed everything that I possible could order on their menu and currently it's the Truffle Smash Burger and this time my phone did not eat first...i couldn't resist having a bite of their truffle fries...I LOVE TRUFFLE!!! As soon as I walked up sweet Joslyn greeted me instantly by my name...and with a delightful convo whoa! Keeping it all simple it's now just the smash burger which isn't basic at all with two smashed Pattie's are topped with American cheese, truffle sauce and caramelized onions on a toasted brioche bun which also comes with a bottle water and orange sauce. Don't ask me what is orange sauce or if it has orange but as usual they didn't disappoint on flavor and wished they'd bottle up the sauces it's just yummy!! I did also added on truffle fries and *muah!* chef's kiss so deliciously made fresh to order I can't get enough of it and so glad I saved room just for JOJA...thank you for the Chocolate Chip Cookie that's always done just the way I love this slightly soft cookie with crunchy edges filled with chocolate chips and is not too sweet, it's the perfect way to start my weekend and you need to check them out here at the cool vibe Kaka'ako Farmers Market brings and see how they're smashing it!! Thank you! read more

Finally got to try the popular smashed burger at the Pearl Country Night Market. Had pretty high expectations since there's been a lot of hype for it recently. Owners were nice and efficient. I liked that they had a number system to let you know how far along they are. Food probably took about 15 minutes. Truffle Smash Double Cheese Burger $19 Comes with spicy orange sauce and chocolate chip cookie. Beef was juicy and flavorful. The truffle sauce was a nice bougie touch. I do wish there was more toppings. Sadly they weren't selling their truffle fries, those are usually my favorite kine. I wasn't the biggest fan of the cookie, it was rather too sweet for me. Wonder if they have an option to skip the cookie for a lower price. A little expensive for what you'd expect from a food truck/tent style place, but the quality was there. Sad to hear they are no longer doing the food truck dishes, hopefully I can try in the future if they have special pop ups! read more

Yes. There's always a long line, but it's worth it. I went on a Saturday at the Kakaako Farmer's Market. Not sure when they start, but I have a feeling it might be before 7:30am. I would stay updated with their IG stories/posts. I got the Oklahoma Truffle Smash Burger and Truffle Animal Fries. The burger. is. messy. Be prepared. Have tons of napkins on hand if you plan to eat it at the farmer's market. The animal fries were good, but there was personally too much cheese on it for me. Next time, I will opt for the truffle fries. read more

The patty is juicy and fresh off the grill, but the sauce is overwhelming especially the truffle oil, which is too strong. Same goes for the truffle animal fries, overpowering. I love truffles, but this was just too much. Good to try for something different. read more

JOJA - Oklahoma Truffle Smash Burger & Truffle Animal Fries - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place is awesome. You gotta go try this buggah!! I got to admit I was fooled by the white sauce and thought was an overload of Mayo but it was like this magic truffle sauce. Grinds!!!! read more

I made the mistake of putting off getting these burgers because the line was always so long... don't make the same mistake I made. Wait in the line, get your burger and fries, get messy and enjoy. The flavor is on point, best burger I've had in a long time. I got the animal fries and got full, couldn't finish my burger, put it in the fridge and then microwaved it hours later. It was still amazing, of course not as good as fresh but still yummy. Now I'm sad I didn't get another just to eat later. Downsides, waiting to order pulls your heart out, the smells of the burgers cooking makes you more hungry. So wait in the line way before you get hangry. It gets messy so grab napkins, wet wipes or be close to a sink, you can eat it with a fork but you miss out on the burger experience. After you order to actually get your food is a short but grueling wait. The excitement just builds till you get that thing in your mouth! Great food is always worth waiting for. Thank you JOJA for putting my taste buds in a frenzy. I will definitely be seeing you again soon! read more

Been a long time coming. I've seen so many reels and posts on Instagram about this place quite often and I would always tell myself, one Saturday I'll make my way down to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market and give these burgers a try but... I never did, until today!!! The wait is finally over for me as I had the will power to drag my behind down here and try their smashed burgers as I had anticipated for a while now and thank God I did because it was worth the wait. There was no problem with the service as they were pretty quick to control the wait line as ordering went by pretty fast and smoothly. The wait time wasn't bad neither. The crowds of people came and went as I waited patiently for my number to be called. I ordered their burger and their animal style truffle fries with chili and both were ono delicious. The price for one burger goes for $18. Yeah, I know, that sounds like a lot of money for just a single burger but I'm telling you right now, it was worth the money. They have an option where you can add their truffle fries for $12 more and or with chili for $14, bringing your total of $32 for that combination. read more

I came all the way from Philippines. I had to try to see if it was worth it and IT REALLY IS. I love how the truffle is so perfect with its patty. Just sad because the bacon was sold out by the time I came in. I will definitely be back! I love also how they separated the spicy sauce and all comes with it. Came in around 10am. I lined up for an hour, another 30 minutes to have my food ready. They were so kind to offer umbrellas too, hesitated at first thought it was a scam hahaha read more

The burger tasted great, but watching the cook press down the meat while sweat visibly dripped from his arm onto each patty was honestly disturbing. Most people probably wouldn't notice, but I saw it happen--multiple times. It made the whole experience feel unhygienic. A simple fix like wearing arm bands or a sweat towel could go a long way. Great food, but please tighten up the hygiene. Don't even try to say he doesn't sweat--we live in Hawaii, sweating is part of the deal. I get it, it's hot, it's humid, it happens. But sweat dripping onto the food? That's where I draw the line. I didn't come here to eat a burger seasoned with arm sweat. read more

I got a burger and fries when JOJA did their pop-up at Honolulu Beerworks and now I finally know why the line is so long at the Farmers Market. This was a Top 3 lifetime burger experience for me. It's also awesome to see the whole team working together to crank out the burgers; there is a lot of passion that goes into the product and you can taste it. Can't wait to get one again! read more

Do not sleep on the pasta! Stumbled upon this food truck at the Kaiser Farmers Market (Tuesdays from 4-6pm). They have a mixed menu with some plate lunch items as well as a variety of noodles. We ordered the mochiko chicken wings, tempura broccoli and bolognese. The bolognese was a huge stand out! The bolognese had a delicious meat sauce that had a hint of creaminess with big rigatoni noodles. It was really really good! The wait time can be a bit but they have a sign by the window to tell you how long it'll take. read more

If I could give them a 2.5 I would. Here's the skinny: They do the truffle sauce well. It's tasty without being over-powering or rich. It does clash with the burger seasoning. The plain fries are seasoned with maybe a light Cajun powder and seems to clash with both the truffle sauce and burger seasoning. The menu is simple in that you can get an Oklahoma Truffle Smash Burger with or without bacon. That's pretty much it. This model should mean the burgers are their specialty and spot-on. The most disappointing part of the experience was the wait. We stood in line from start to burger in hand, for 1:22 and apparently this was a "shorter" than usual line. They take 20 orders at a time but cook only 10 double burgers at a time. They unload the burgers and reload the next batch of 10 double burgers. This is a highly inefficient model. Unloading and loading the grill like a treadmill/assembly line would move things quicker and they could make more profits as a result. People also crowd the front of the line to look at the menu. I'd recommend taking a picture and taking the digital copy back with you in line to review. Glad I tried it but it wasn't worth standing 1 hour and 22 minutes in line for (for me personally) and I likely wouldn't have these burgers again unless someone stood in line and got them for me for free. Edit: CORRECTION, I miscounted. They cook 20 double burgers at a time. I do appreciate the sentiment of a small business trying to keep things simple. Thank for the opportunity to try these burgers. There is a deep respect I have for the hard work and clear passion. read more

This is by a far margin, the best smash burger that I've ever had....hands down. We've seen this pop up at the Kakaako farmers market quite a few times, but "who wants a burger at 9 in the morning", I would often ask myself. Turns out...EVERYONE. The lines were always so incredibly long. Our first time trying them we found out that they were going to be in Waikele for a food truck thing that apparently happens once a month out there, so my wife and I (with kids in tow) decided to drive out right after work and hopefully get there early enough to avoid the line. We....did not. Ended up waiting about an hour in line to order, which isn't really too bad. But once we ordered, it took another 45 minutes for our order to be made....which makes sense, they only have one long flat top griddle and one guy making all the burgers. A woman was taking orders and they had another guy on fry/bun duty. After ordering they closed off the line about 10 orders after us, informing everyone else they sold out (woman taking orders was keeping count). Nearly 2 hours for smash burgers? Is it worth the wait? OH. HELL. YEAH. Because everything is made fresh to order and you can literally watch as he makes them, everything comes out hot and fresh. The burgers (which are lightly seasoned and smashed with onions embeddded are crispy on the edges and nice and juicy in the middle as any good smash burger should be. But the star is the white truffle sauce. Oh man, if I could bathe in that sauce....well...nevermind. Also, don't skip on their hot sauce. Its freaking incredible and works great with the burgers as well as for fry dipping. Only thing I didn't really care for was their loaded fries with chili. Ours came out kinda cold for some reason. My wife and kids still loved them, i was just not the biggest fan. They sell out constantly, so get there early. I can't stress that enough. And again, for those looking to catch them at the Kakaako Farmers Market or wherever else they may be in the early mornings... Who wants a smash burger that early in the morning? If its from Joja, the only correct answer is YOU. Trust me....you do. (I mean to take pics everytime, but my brain turns off as soon as the bag is handed to us and the next thing I know all we have is a pile of napkins, some drippings and the biggest smiles on our faces) read more

JOJA - Smash Burger & Truffle Fries - Burgers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Do I dare say the best burger I've ever had? Yes, and I have indeed eaten countless of burgers around the world but nothing compares to JOJA. Located within the farmers market every Saturday in Waikiki, there is always a long line for this spot and is hard to miss. It took about 40 minutes to line up for the burger and another hour until we got our burgers. The smashed burger is succulent and had a great outer crust on the beef. I am unsure if the white sauce was cheese but it was stupendous and really elevated the burger. The onions were perfectly grilled and buns were toasted just the right amount where it wasn't too soggy nor too burnt. Dreaming about this burger and can not wait to be back! read more

I wanted to try the smash burger because others have told me about it. I was finally able to try it one day at an event at wai Kai. The burger was really good. The line was crazy long which I understand why. Would I go again? Probably not. Don't get me wrong, it was good but not worth the wait and price. I did not even get close to being full.. I personally would rather get a full plate lunch that will fulfill my hunger. read more

Joja Smash Burgers - the Instagram legend lives up to the hype! Discovered this burger maestro online, and following him to the 'What the Truck' event was worth every second. Even arriving 35 mins early didn't save me from a 25-min burger wait, but oh boy, was it worth it! Freshly cooked, flavorful, and solid. If you want a taste, arrive early or prepare for a wait - your taste buds will thank you! read more

First time visiting this burger place at the Ward Farmers market. Arrived around 940 am and there was already a line waiting to order and waiting for their burgers. Took about 30-45 minutes to order and get the burger. Got the truffle burger with additional patty and truffle fries. The burger alone starts at $18. This burger is filling and delicious. Only with they used Cheddar cheese instead of American cheese. Truffle flavor was little mild. But everything comes out fresh and it's made to order always. One of my fav smash burger place after Shay's. Must try especially when you can also explore the other shops at the farmers market read more

We got to the Kakaako Farmer's Market right when it opened and there was already a line for these burgers! We waited about 20mins to order then you wait another 5-10mins for your food. I ordered the smash burger with an extra patty and extra truffle sauce. It comes with a side of a spicy sauce that was good as well. It is a messy burger but very filling. The truffle sauce was pretty good but probably didn't need to ask for extra. Maybe a single patty is enough as well. I was pretty stuffed after eating the burger. They should open a store front. read more

- [ ] Saw a posting for this on instagram as a "suggested for you" and was hooked. Conveniently enough they see going to be at a farmers market on Saturday which we would still be in town for. Our mistake at how ridiculously long we waited for this burger. About 1.5 hours in total. At the Saturday farmers market they are open from 8-12p but go early as they stop taking orders at 11a because of the wait. We waited in the hot sun for 30 minutes just to order and another 1 hour for our burger to be cooked. You can watch the cook right in front of you. Props to him because that's a hot sweaty job. They only cook about 10 burgers every 20 minutes and depending on how many burgers were ordered by the people ahead of you would determine how long your wait is. Each burger has 2 smash patties unless you add additional patties for $4. They have a system but they need another grill. We spent all day here waiting for just a burger and it really wasn't anything special. The Oklahoma burger was good, the onions gave great taste, the patties did have a good crust and the truffle not too overpowering but I did not find it worth wait. If we knew how long the wait was we wouldn't have stayed but we already ordered and spent $45 just on two burgers. We had to skip our other plans because of how long we spent waiting line. If you want to try the burger, plan for this to be half day exertion waiting for it. read more

Every time I go to the kakaako farmers market, I see the long lines for the smash burgers and think, what's the big deal?! I got to the market before they opened and the line wasn't bad so I figured it was time to give it a try. They have an extremely efficient process. The menu is small and 90% of the people order the standard burger (2 patties, cheese, onions and sauce), which is why they're efficient. Offering extras such as bacon or asking for no onions will increase your wait time. I was entranced watching the grilling process, which helps the time pass but you can smell like smoke if you're too close. The burger was juicy and flavorful and I wish I ate it right there rather than taking it home. The delay just made a little more of a mess and my car smelled like the burger. Definitely understand why there's always a line. It's worth the wait. I would strongly advise going early, like I did. The market opens at 8. Order your burger then shop, pick up something to drink from another vendor, etc. I have seen ridiculously long lines later in the day. read more

Phenomenal. 10/10 worth the hype!! The truffle sauce is next level, I recommend getting it on the side for less mess. As a business, they are a very well oiled machine.

After seeing so much about their famous smash burger I finally got up early enough to catch them at the farmer's market in Kakaako!! Literally their smash burger was everything I imagined it to be and better. Every time I saw this burger on social media I would crave it without even knowing what it tastes like and now I forreal crave it knowing how it is. Wow is all I can say. The truffle smash burger is heaven and I don't know what the white sauce on the burger is but if I'm correct it's a garlic mayo type. That garlic mayo on that burger has changed my life as well as the buttery bun it comes in. I got to the farmer's market around 7:30ish and went straight to find this booth. Thank god the line was short, I waited about 20 minutes max. I also got the animal fries which were really good too, it all came with a side of this orange spicy sauce, too spicy for me but my sister said it gave a great kick! Service was great, very quick and efficient! They really got their system down in taking orders and preparation! I will be back at the farmers market probably every weekend now, see you all there! read more

Attended the ewa night market specifically to try their smash burgers because I heard they were amazing and the best. Let me say it was amazing. It's double patty and comes with their famous sauce which went together to good. It's so filling but definitely not your everyday burger. Be warned though that you will have to wait unless you come early. It took about 30 min wait to order and then another 30 min wait for the food to be ready. He makes it in batches so there is a wait. The fries were ok, not a stand out to me. It is pricey at $18 for the burger and $24 with fries, so I wouldn't get it a lot but definitely a treat! read more

I'm so happy that my friend introduced me to this place as they have the bestest pasta dishes ever! They also have really great poke when it's available, but I digress. I go when they are located on Cooke Street in Kakaako by the Imperial Plaza building. I also really appreciate that you can pre-order your food. If you don't pre-order, just be prepared to wait a bit (maybe 10-15 minutes) for your food. The price is a little bit more than I would normally spend for lunch (~$20) but that's ok as I don't usually finish it. Sometimes I can stretch it for 3 meals! The servings are generous and very flavorful. Everything tastes (and feels) fresh. I am a fan of the bolognese, bang bang, and the rattlesnake. I'm bummed they don't have their poke anymore. Honestly, those are the only things I've tried, but they are winnahs! I should try their other dishes! I think I will go get lunch from them the next time they are in town! read more
