Delicious food, good value, chill ambience, great for groups, and attentive service. Great restaurant!

Dinner date with my son Marwynn at Marujuu Japanese was such a nice experience. We loved the cozy, casual vibe and the fun sizzling hot plates everything came out hot and comforting. The Japanese hamburger steak was juicy, flavorful, and perfect with rice. Simple, satisfying, and just the kind of comfort food we enjoy together. And great service :) Great spot for a relaxed mom & son dinner date. Thank you for free ice cream soft serve as well... We'll definitely come back again! read more

Walked in and staff was friendly and the place had a fun theme! The booth we had was nice and spacious. Lunch food was solid. My favorites were actually the ribeye and fried oysters. im not a fan of hamburger but the patty was pretty good haha. Best part was free soup and rice with unlimited refills! It's a solid restaurant choice! read more

Located in Kaimuki, this is a casual quick-service type restaurant. The menu has lots to choose from so variety for everyone. There are even options for the kids. I like how the food came out on a sizzling platter! The hamburger patty was quite soft so I wasn't used to the texture. There is also a self-serve soft serve machine in the front of the restaurant as you enter. Overall, my family and I had a nice meal with good service. We will be back again! Happy Eating! read more

A happy place. Definitely a happy place. The service was awesome and the food was great. Lunch was limited to a short list but add a few options to customize your meal. There's lots of drink options including alcoholic drinks. All you can eat rice and onion soup. A very comfortable place to eat. read more

I wanted to check out this new Japanese hamburger place that replaced a previous hamburger place (Chubbies). Totally different experience! This hamburger is thicker and juicier. It's served with a variety of sauces and rice, spaghetti, and cooked cabbage. You also get a cup of soup to start your meal. I liked the Japanese hamburger. It was very tasty with actual pieces of meat in the ground beef. You also don't really need sauce but its nice to have on the side. All in all a good meal, very good and satisfying. The service was excellent, very responsive and attentive. The environment is very casual and comfortable. There were a lot of families in here the night we had dinner. Lots of parking in the paid lot or on the street. The metered parking is free after 6 pm and its always nice to walk around Kaimuki. read more

Parking: Kaimuki Municipal lot. Location: Across Kumon. Ambiance: open concept trendy diner Service: Outstanding Japanese service. Grateful that they accommodated three of us at 2:05 pm near closing. Recommend they stay open at bit later (3:00) on Sundays, since many places nearby close at 2:00 as well. Food: Hamburg Japanese style! Love the homemade burgers. I highly recommend giving this place a try. We will be back for happy hour. read more

Finally went to check out Marujuu in Kaimuki. The meter lot that is closest to marujuu was filled so we ended up parking across the street in the pay lot. The hamburger was super juicy and moist, we tried two different sauces since it comes on the side and quite a bit you can share. We got the onion and the ponzu, really liked the onion one! Each set comes with hot onion soup which is light and delicious! The chicken was also really good. Each plate comes with some noodles and veggies and a side of rice, if you want to get a salad it's an upgrade fee. They also give you free soft serve for filling out a review. The best part was the service! Their servers are awesome at explaining the menu, serving the food and checking on how you're liking the meal. The hot plates are made fresh so they ask for patience but it didn't take long to come out: read more

Feeling beefy... This is the place for that as not only they have hamburger steak but Wagyu Beef Steak as well, either way it's all create your own between six types of sauces and all comes with veggies, pasta and rice or salad but what you're able to do is bougie it up with additional toppings from sunny side egg, bacon to cheese. Walking in to the former Chubbie's location it's totally transformed with various anime posters covering the walls and a whole counter that takes majority the middle of the restaurant with booth surrounding it all is a unique layout. Dining with Nadine and Daniel as we walked in the staff all greeted us with "irasshai" and seated us was nice to see that they have pitchers of water and cups on each table just like in Japan is nice but after glancing at the menu we decided to get one of each different sauces to try (Signature Onion Sauce, Fresh Ginger Shoyu Garlic Glaze, Grated Daikon Ponzu). I expected to like the Grated Daikon Ponzu since that what I grew up which was still very good but liked the Signature on this visit but it's nice to have options and it all was good but my only disappointment is that it wasn't really hot and knew it all precooked and kept warm the veggies was cabbage and sprouts is a great combination was nice and filling, great presentation and loved the was you can make it your own. Thank you! read more

Marujuu - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

- Did not really have a great time here. - Arrived first in line to get seated at this place when it opened - Ordered the hamburg dish and the egg came separately because the kitchen timing was off. - Main issue was service as when eating and trying to wrap up I felt ignored. - When I finally asked for the bill, I got another tables bill and saw that my bill was given to another table. The other table PAID for MY bill and I was given another TABLES bill and when I notified the location I was deprioritized. - I was ignored and other people were seated, orders taken, and I was left wondering on if I should just leave if they didnt seem interested in fixing the situation. - Eventually walked up to the hostess stand and demanding for me to just pay my bill and leave. Not eating here again, disappointing customer service. read more

Sizzling, hot, and very delightful. I was so lucky to have walked in without any wait! My boyfriend and I decided to get dinner in Kaimuki a few weeks ago and we had the opportunity to walk into Marujuu. We were serviced very quickly and sat at the counter. I had the classic sized hamburger steak with Gorgonzola cheese sauce and my boyfriend had the larger sized hamburger steak with the onion sauce. My boyfriend who is normally not a fan of blue cheese really enjoyed the Gorgonzola sauce on my portion. There was a bit of a wait as each portion is made to order, but it was well worth it. Each plate came out hot and sizzling. But if you're bored while waiting for your food, there are numerous TV screens and anime/manga paraphernalia that you can look at on the walls. The plates are a cross between the Japanese hamburger steak and American diner food style. The hamburger steaks come with a small portion of pasta, some hot veggies, and a side of white rice. I highly recommend upgrading to an additional sauce to change up the flavor profile of the hamburger steak. Overall, it was fantastic and I'm excited for the next time I can dine in again! Bonus, they have a self serve Soft Serve machine. Thought it was a bit pricey, but I assume if you can get the swirls right you can build yourself a fairly large cone. read more

Been on my radar for a while so finally tonight took my nephew for dinner . Parking is available at the municipal parking lot behind the restaurant metered parking . Or across the street you can pay at the kiosk card only . Hamburger steak Japanese style step 1 choose your size with small 7oz or large size 10oz. Luckily I ordered the small because it was just right . 2 step choose your flavor from Demi glaze , Daikon Ponzu, onion sauce , Ginger shoyu garlic , Gorgonzola cheese sauce and Bbq pineapple. 3 step choose your topping like onion, grilled bacon, fried egg, garlic chips. 4th step choose grilled vegetables, 5th step choose pasta size 6th step rice or salad Than time to grind remember they prepare every meal made to order so there's a signage saying please be patient it could take some time . Yes our order took at least 20mins but it's well worth it . Their hamburger patty is made from scratch and it was very soft and moist with lots of flavor. Next time I'll try their Chicken steak or their Wagyu beef something different. Support local read more

Had lunch at Marujuu in Kaimuki today. Loved all the anime posters on the walls. Service was really good. They give you a complimentary onion beef soup, which was lovely. Shared the nori something fries (was okay). Got the regular hamburg on sizzing platter with a ginger garlic shoyu sauce. I enjoyed it but hoping for more sizzle if I go back. We think our sizzling plates were not as hot as it should have been cos the sizzle totally fizzled out super fast. Other tables seemed to sizzle a lot longer. The hamburg didn't have a nice sear. Thick bacon was yum! The iced green tea was lovely. This is just being a little nitpicky, but I think I would've preferred the greens next to the Hamburg instead of the spaghetti. When I poured my sauce over the hamburg, it spilled over onto the spaghetti. The sauce I chose didn't work with the tomato flavor. It would've been really good with the veggies. read more

This is a new Japanese hamburg restaurant located in Kaimuki in that old Chubbies location. It's a sister restaurant to toriton. There is ample paid parking available near by. I went here with some friends for lunch. The walls are covered in anime posters. The kitchen is visible from the sitting area. It is a small place though so seating is limited. There is a u-shaped counter in the middle and tables around the perimeter. While there is curry and steak available, the main reason we came was for their specialty with is Japanese hamburg. This is a juicy handmade hamburger patty with your choice of toppings and sauce along with vegetables, spaghetti and rice. The hamburger was soft, juicy and flavorful and definitely the highlight. The sauces are good and there is a decent variety to chose from. The rice and vegetables were pretty standard. The spaghetti was a little lack luster and bit bland. Overall I think it was a pretty good lunch and will definitely be checking it out again in the future. read more

I got Japan feels when I had dinner at Marujuu. There were very friendly staff who made some great recommendations. The love the wide tables and tall backing on the bench tables for some privacy from your neighbors. Food was delicious. The hamburg steak was tender and juicy and savory. Fries were the star. It was savory, addictive. Perfect with an asahi. Beware though, its on a sizzling plate so if your pour sauce over your dish, splatter will happen. Good thing I had black shorts on. I will be back to try more dishes. read more

Marujuu is in the old Chubbie's Burger spot in Kaimuki. There's plenty of parking in two different lots. In the bigger lot, the parking was under $5 on a Saturday. When we came around lunchtime, it was fairly crowded, but there was no wait for a table of 2. Their menu is pretty simple, so you know that the food is going to be good. The meal started off with an onion broth/soup thing that I wasn't expecting. It was super flavorful and something nice to sip on while we waited for our food. I got the Hamburg with the signature onion sauce. The hamburger was juicy, and the sauce was great! It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The inside of the restaurant is very cute, and they even had video games! The service was excellent. The waitress asked if we had been there before and explained the menu to us. The food was delicious, but it was a little pricey for what you're getting. read more

Marujuu - Hamburg - regular size - sweet onion sauce - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Friday December 5, 2025 12:30PM Wow there is finally restaurant that serves hamburg steak in Hawaii! Well one that features it proudly. The other spot is not to be mentioned because they do not show that aloha spirit. Well sadly I can't say the same for this spot but at least they served us our food. It has been open for a little over three weeks; they have been open since Monday November 24, 2025. We came here during their lunch rush and luckily for us the wait was only five minutes to get seated! Though it was a full house it didnt seem hectic. The inside had posters of some popular japanese cartoons and books. They also had a tv playing some anime. Pretty cool how they have cups and a pitcher of water ready for you. The table is clean. Before they serve you your order you will receive a piping hot.. wait no an extremely tongue burning scorching heat of soup. It was so hot and i dont mean spicy. Feels like it came straight out of the fire. I was impressed. So ergo I had to wait five minutes for it to cool down haha.. well as we all finished the soup and a few cups of our water we waited and waited while all the workers were tending to other customers. So after another extra five minutes. Then another 10 min of waiting seeing people with larger groups getting seated and served their food before us and then leaving. It's been over 30 minutes since we ordered and still no food watching people enjoy their hamburger steak. Finally out food arrives! The food! While little cup of HOT soup was good.. No the hamburg steak sadly wasn't juicy and no it wasn't tasty as expected. I'd rather eat a loco moco because you can cut those burgers with a plastic fork! but ehh maybe this new restaurant was too busy or they are still figuring it out.. Service! The host was attentive! Sat us down quickly. The server came by quickly to take our order! Next thing you know we are being mostly ignored. =[ Hopefully everyone else has a better experience at this place than us. I wont come back here but I am sure this place has potential since it's the only spot that has different hamburg steak as featured meals! read more

The better half and I have been missing Japan and especially the food so we were excited to hear about Marujuu. Marujuu is a Japanese style hamburger steak place or shall I say Hamburg... Marujuu is located where Chubbie's, and Koko Head Cafe used to be. Marujuu is a sister company of Izakaya Tenkichi and Tori Ton which if like the food there, you will certainly love it here. When you first step foot inside you get the anime feels like when going to an anime shop in Harajuku and Akihabara in Tokyo Japan. What makes these hamburgs so special? Well instead of using all beef, they took a page out of Slaters 50/50 where they use a combination of beef and pork. Their "secret sauce" takes about half a day to perfect is what I was told and I believe them as it's fire! The menu is easy to read with photos. Customer service is friendly and they have a pitcher of water on the table for self serve. How do you order? First you choose regular or large size. Second, choose which sauce you want (Signature Onion, Cheese, Soy Glaze, Grated Daikon Ponzu, Green Onion Salt). Third, you can add on toppings. We ordered their fries and it was so tasty that we couldn't stop eating it. For myself I had to try the OG style Signature Onion and it didn't disappoint. It came on a sizzling hot skillet and the hamburg was nice and juicy and the portion size was satisfactory. It came with onion soup (very flavorful), pasta, white rice and cabbage. The Better Half, was swayed from ordering the hamburg as she saw STEAK and it was calling her name. Hey I didn't try to stop her... "Happy Wife, Happy Life!" She ordered the ribeye and she ate it all up. I guess I didn't have to ask her how it was as the empty plate speaks for itself. The staff was patient and very attentive throughout our meal. For now, it is BYOB and while it is on a first come, first served bases, they do take reservations for a party of 7 or larger. Something to keep in mind if you don't like waiting in line and if you can wrangle seven of your friends to come. Yes everyone needs to be there when you get seated. Hit this place up if you are like me and missing some great Japanese hamburger and If you are like the better half, a great steak too. read more

Recently opened spot for Japanese food. First time trying hamburg and it was a fun experience! You choose the patty size, flavor and toppings. Comes with rice, spaghetti, veggies and a side of soup. We ordered: - karaage: we chose wasabi soy sauce, so delicious and wasabi taste was just enough for it not to overpower the chicken taste. The chicken pieces were big with a crunchy exterior and juicy interior. - Gorgonzola cheese sauce (regular size): thick and cheesy sauce that feels like eating a hamburger without the bun. The sauce wasn't too salty and enhanced the flavor of the patty and spaghetti. Def recommend adding an egg bc it added such a nice saucy texture to the patty. - signature onion sauce (large size): can't go wrong with their signature sauce. The sauce was lighter than the cheese sauce with a slightly sweet taste of caramelized onions. Added bacon and sunny side egg. The bacon was like millionaire's bacon, which was thick and nicely cooked with some crunch. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The place is cool decorated with different anime posters which made the ambiance even better. The toppings were a bit pricey and wish the egg was included with each set. But I would recommend trying this place for a fun and unique meal! read more

Marujuu - Japanese Hamburg & Steak *** OK *** (3 of 5) Milton Food: *** (3/5) Value: *** (3/5) Menu: *** (3/5) Ambiance: *** (3/5) Service: **** (4/5) Parking: **** (3/5) metered Like Japanese restaurants in Japan, you are welcomed with all the staff yelling welcome and saying goodbye. Our waiter was fast and the food came out in a reasonable time. With your order you have a choice of size, flavor (sauces), and toppings. You can also increase the size of your sides (veggies, pasta or rice) for a small fee. See the pictures of the menu for a better understanding. If you enjoy Japanese style hamburger or hamburger in general, you will probably agree with my wife and say it's good. When I tried a bite, it it just tasted like regular hamburger. Since I don't like meatloaf, hamburger steak or meatballs, I ordered their $36 American Wagyu. It was tender and they served a generous portion but lacked the fat of Japanese Wagyu or a ribeye steak. But for $36 what can you expect.

Have wanted to try this restaurant since it opened. Finally made it and it did not disappoint! What a fun experience and glad I came for lunch. We had the recommended curry hamburger plate. The curry sauce is very nice. It comes with a side of corn, fries and a splash of broccoli for colour. I enjoy a nice Japanese burger not to be compared with an American burger. The fries were not up to par. Not crisp and limp, but that did not hinder my overall experience. Definitely would revisit. the staff is great! read more

Marujuu - Coffee with soft serve - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I just came for the food but Marujuu exceeded my expectations in regards to the quality of food and service. When you walk in, the staff immediately provides a welcoming atmosphere beginning with all of the staff greeting you before you get seated, to the server providing English-translated manga (specifically Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan) for my family to read while we wait for the food. The wait for our main dishes, which were three hamburg plates, didn't take much time at all and we probably waited 20 minutes at the most, if not less. I've only been here once but the food was amazingly delicious and filling. The regular sized hamburg plates provide enough food for the average hungry stomach! I think it was interesting that the pasta on the plate had a subtle tomato flavor to it but yet it still went well with the demi-glace sauce I chose for the hamburg. The hamburg itself had juices flowing out of it with every cut I made into it, and the extra fried egg I ordered paired well with the demi-glace by making it have a creamier but yet still really savory taste to it. I quite literally savored every bite I took. The Calpico Sour (alcoholic drink) that I ordered was super cold and refreshing. I could barely taste the alcohol with how well they mixed everything in it! Price wise, it does cost ~$24 for the main hamburg dish without any add-ons, and depending on what you get for add-ons (or if you decide to order the more expensive rib-eye), it can get a bit expensive. I think you can still enjoy the hamburg a lot without add-ons though! read more

Lunch in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawai'i... Irene, Daniel, and I decided to try this relatively new business named, Marujuu. It specializes in Japanese-style hamburger or "hamburg". Daniel and Irene parked in the paid metered stalls nearby. I walked a bit and found free street parking up the hill. Daniel arrived first, before the opening time of 11am to secure a spot in line. Good move because they do not take reservations and they're quite popular right now. Located at the former Koko Head Café and Chubbie's, this space between the parking lot and 12th Avenue, Marujuu had some cool anime decor on the walls. We had a table next to the open door in the back corner by the men's restroom. The glare from the outside was a bit annoying, but the breeze was refreshing! A pitcher of iced water was left on our table, along with plastic cups and a basket of utensils and disposable towel. Service was very attentive and helpful. I was surprised when they ladled the gravy over our hamburgs. I enjoyed all three flavors that we tried and shared: Green Onion Salt Marinade, Sweet Garlic Soy (a bit spicy for me) and the Signature Onion Sauce. Our favorite was the Original. Each meal came with a soup, pasta, veggies, and white rice. You can upgrade your rice and hamburg to larger portions for a slight upcharge. I would go again and order the Braised Hamburg with Mushroom demi-glace sauce next! read more

As soon as I'd discovered this spot from a reel that I'd seen from onlyfoods808 on IG, I'd made a note to check this place out during the few days visiting Honolulu - there's no other restaurant to date that I know of in HI that specializes in Japanese Hambaagu, except this spot. My Dad and I stopped by when the restaurant opened at 11am on Tues., 2/17/2026 and since it was a weekday, we were the only ones there at the time - few other diners came in not too long after. All the staff that we'd encountered from the manager to the server, were very nice and pleasant to speak to, they provided excellent service. The restaurant has a lot of posters inspired by Japanese anime and bright yellow walls - there's some booth style seating but most are tables and counter seating. It was a bit hard to locate this restaurant at first and we had to ask around for directions - it's located on a smaller side street, on Mahina Ave, the entrance is between 12th Ave and Koko Head Ave. Parking at the meter lot can be tricky - we were lucky with the timing when someone pulled out right at the time we were looking for a spot, otherwise, you'd have to park in one of the other lots that are nearby. We both ordered the regular size of the Hambaagu that came with pasta and veggies, along with rice. The beef soup was excellent - flavored very well. We opted for the demi glacé sauce which was seasoned just right with a nice texture to it. It's an additional charge for this, but totally worth it. The ground meat in the Hambaagu was juicy, tender and flavorful - as close as you can get to what you'll get in Japan. In fact, the last time I'd had anything similar to this was at a yoshoku restaurant called Kubota Shokudo in Higashikanagawa, Japan during May 2024. 100% recommend this spot and I would absolutely return for a bite to eat the next time that I'm in Honolulu, this place will not disappoint! read more

Ordered the Japanese hamburger steak with cheese and it was pure comfort food. The patty was juicy, tender, and full of flavor, with that classic Japanese-style seasoning that's rich but not heavy. The melted cheese on top was perfect--creamy, gooey, and took it to the next level. The sauce was savory with a slight sweetness and paired so well with the meat and rice. Everything came out hot and felt freshly made. Simple dish, executed really well. If you're in the mood for something hearty, cozy, and satisfying, this is a solid choice. I'd order this again without hesitation. read more

My husband and I were really excited to learn about Marujuu and couldn't wait to try their food. I immediately fell in love with the anime decor and soundtracks playing in the background. My 3-year was entertained by the Pac-man arcade console and Pokémon on the TV. The servers were incredibly nice and patient as our rowdy kids created one mess after another (plate on the ground, spilled water, crayons all over the place). As for the food, I highly recommend the burgers with their original sauce to start off as a baseline. We also tried the Wagyu steak. Each platter comes with a cup of soup (which was delicious but also fatty), a side salad (it could have used more dressing), and a side of spaghetti. The steak was very bland and dry even though I requested medium rare. For dessert, they have a self-serve soft-serve ice cream machine. I couldn't find the price for the ice cream posted anywhere, but I had two fussy kids with me AND I also wanted ice cream so I filled up 3 cones. My husband later told me that the ice cream was $4 each. Now that I know what I like from their menu, I would come back again if I had a serious meat craving. How can I resist a meal of delicious ground beef patties with anime soundtracks as a backdrop?! read more

Marujuu - Playing Pac-man while we waited for a table. - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Marujuu is located where Koko Head Cafe was located in Kaimuki. The decor is anime themed and it's very yellow inside. The table tops are for parties of 3+ but there was one table that seated 2 people. The center is a U shape counter seating. From what I noticed, it's seating for individuals and parties of 2. The menu is easy to read with photos. Customer service is friendly and they have a pitcher of water on the table for self serve. You choose what you would like in regular size or large size in the Hamburg section. Then you choose which flavor you would like to try. There are 5 different flavors available. Step 3 is adding on any toppings. You can upgrade your vegetables, pasta size and rice in steps 4-6. The other menu sections are slightly different but you would basically choose the size you would like. It's hard to choose since they all look so good but we decided to go with their Hamburg options. I dined with Irene and LB. We all ordered a different flavor and shared so we could try more of the menu. The three flavors we ordered were the Signature Onion Sauce, Sweet Garlic Soy Glaze and Green Onion Salt Marinade. They all came with onion soup, pasta, white rice and cabbage. From being seated till we got our food took about 30 minutes. It wasn't long at all and we got to catch up from all our travels. The food was good and portion size was just right. Personally, I enjoyed the Signature Onion Sauce the best. Great addition to the Kaimuki area! read more

Trying Marujuu... new Japanese hamburger place that my friend mentioned. I'll let you know Gary First impression, a bit noisy. Theme seems to be anime. It was a bit of a wait for our food to be served.... But, as you can see it comes out with the gravy boiling hot! I really enjoyed it. They also provide upon request, a disposable bib which I , of course requested... Our server was delightful... Giovanni was engaging and personable Yes, we will be back. read more

Love hamburg in Japan so I was excited to try this place out. Soft opening was on Monday and there was quite a line before their opening lunch hour. They are located in the former Chubbies dine-in restaurant in Kaimuki. The restaurant has counter and booth/table seatings. We got the Marujuu originals (regular size 200g) which come with vegetables, pasta, miso soup, and rice. Gorgonzola cheese sauce hamburg: The Gorgonzola cheese sauce was good. Very gooey and cheesy. It does have a hint blue cheese taste. The hamburg was delicious. Very tender and juicy. The pasta was plain but with the sauce it was flavorful. Green onion salt marinade hamburg: The green onion salt sauce was on the saltier side. Wish there were more of the green onion garnish on top. Overall, very good hamburg place. The sauces are on the saltier side. The hamburg were excellent. Service was great. They welcome feedbacks. There are two sizes, regular (200g) and large (300g). The regular side was filling for me. The sauce was poured table side once your order comes out. The wait for our order does take some time since it is their soft opening. Our order took over an hour. Also their hamburg are made to order. Definitely would be returning to try their other flavors. read more

They do not offer takeaway for the time being and in the short-term. Today, Monday.24.November.2025 is their grand opening. There were a fair amount of people seated in the dining area....they're situated in the old Chubbies location. Specializing in Japanese hamburger steak...also known as Hambagu...not to be confused with Humbug, that is opening in December. Marujuu had a fair amount of Japanese nationals - or so I assume- patronizing on their first day of service. I'll be back...it's just that I wanted takeout on this day. My rating is incomplete, as such. Lots of parking in the adjacent metered lot. read more
