Wow, such a busy morning rush filled with majority tourists with some locals getting their breakfast or coffee in the morning. In my opinion, everyone should experience working in food and/or retail in their lifetime especially during high school and college time to know how to deal with customer service and busy mad rushes of people coming all at once. It makes you more understanding and compassionate when you are a customer yourselves in ordering food or trying on clothes in retail settings. People that have worked in the sevice and hospitality industries know the verbal, physical and mental abuse they take on from their employers and customers. That's why it's so hard to hire at these jobs in justifying the pay, bad management for little to no rewards and benefits for the employees. That's why I try to stick to the menu and not make their lives more complicated then it should be as a customer; at most, just a light ice request and less sweeter for my iced coffee orders. I always say my please and thank yous to anyone in the food, retail and service industries. No masks required to enter and COVID restrictions are relaxed but the staff still wears their masks in the restaurant. You can use two self serve kiosks or just wait in line to get your order. The kiosks at McDonald's usually doesn't work for me, so I just wait in line. It took a good 10 to 15 minutes for my food and drink but I came during the breakfast rush with about 20 people ahead of me, so it was expected. I haven't had the local breakfast platter in a while, they give it to you in a biodegradable container. I like that the eggs are made with butter and fluffy to eat and large portions of rice and a couple pieces of spam. I used to not be able to finish the platter in high school but now I can finish it in one sitting over a course of a hour. They accept cash and card payments at their registers with a person and card at their kiosk stations, if you have the McDonald's app downloaded on your phone for easier convenience. They gave me the large French vanilla ice coffee in a drink cup, which I appreciate because it's a larger portion than the regular clear coffee cup. Mix the drink with the straw so the sugar mixture doesn't stay on the bottom. It came out to a little over 11 dollars for breakfast, which is affordable compared to the 15 to 20 dollars per entree at other nearby locations. I would totally recommend coming here for your breakfast although the sitting area can get quite cold but it's nice to relax, eat and watch the tourists on their vacations. Thank you so much for the delicious breakfast and coffee! Thank you for the excellent customer service especially with it being so busy! read more

The McDonald's in Hawaii are a level of magic. First, they have Pam portugeee sausage and egg breakfasts served with rice all day long. Second they still have the $1.00 diet cokes. Last if your over 40 you might remember the magic fried apple pies they served with the crispy outside and the gooey inside.. Hawaii never replaced them with the baked dry crap they serve in the 48.

Only leaving a review bc I always thought it was cool that Hawaii has a spam, Portuguese sausage, egg, and rice plate. So of course it was on my list for something to try while on vacation. It's a good bfast plate and I wish we had it in CA. The only change I'd prefer which I know they can't offer is an over easy egg for a little runny yolk to mix with the rice but that'll have to be my twist when I decide to make it at home. If you're a spam, eggs, and rice fan you'll be pleased with this fast food offering. read more

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I actually get excited to eat McDonald's when I'm in Hawaii, and primarily their breakfast. The fact that you can order eggs, spam, sausage and rice, that actually tastes good from a McDonald's is quite amazing! Every time we go in the mornings, there is always a wait but totally worth it. We usually get the Local Deluxe Breakfast and this is usually enough for 2 people to share comfortably. The eggs and rice is fluffy, spam and sausage is super flavorful, I don't think you can ask for much more. Usually once a trip is enough for me, but I highly recommend if you haven't gotten these items before! read more

Continuing our quest for haupia pie, we decided to check out the McDonald's Waikiki location since we were walking around the area. And would you know it, they had haupia pies! Yayyy! Our cashier, Said, was helpful enough to check the availability before telling us no. It seems like it's by request only because we had to wait 6 minutes for them to heat it up; and boy was it hot! I'm happy we found a McDonald's that was serving it because it was totally worth every bite. The haupia pie is a creamy coconut jello filled pie similar to the famous apple pie that McDonald's serve. read more

I ordered the Local Deluxe breakfast platter. This came with white rice, eggs, Portuguese sausage, and SPAM. I also ordered a Haupia pie. This was my first time ever trying Portuguese sausage and I was surprised by how good it was. My favorite between the two was still the spam. I would have preferred the spam be a little more well done. The white rice was very tender and very good. The eggs were also tasty. The best part of the meal was definitely the Haupia pie though. They fry this thing to perfection and the center is so creamy and sweet. It's the perfect ratio. The service was fast and friendly. The location was very clean as well. read more

If you have 45 minutes or an hour to waste in Waikiki this McDonalds is for you. At 6 am in the downtown area of Waikiki this is the only breakfast open. The service is slower than any native turtles you may see, most of the time only one of the three mobile order screens will be open and if lucky enough, the debit/credit card reader may work. On occasion you may be lucky enough to get one of the workers to help you, but I think you have a better chance of hitting the lotto. A hostess donut option is the only other available food to eat at a market down the road, but will cause less grief and irritation. read more

Try the local deluxe platter if you're in town and combo it with the McDonald's app for a free ice coffee drink. Rice portions are generous and we used it for our extra leftover poke we had from foodland. Also get the taro pie which is one dollar. You won't be disappointed.

This is 1 of 3 McDonald's locations in Waikiki. This one is probably the most smelliest and dirtiest. If you're walking in on the side of the building with the ramp, you will likely get a good whiff of urine. I like how they have a kiosks where you can order/pay for food without having to interact with another human. I was bummed because every time I kept stopping in randomly for a haupia or taro pie, they were out. On a budget and can't afford to stay at the Ritz Carlton hotel--McDonald's baby!

Hahahaha sometimes all reviews aren't the most exciting or mind blowing but sometimes a little simple comfort food is great! Reviewing chains like this... a McDonald's! Is rough. Sometimes it hits the spot, other times it's somehow awful! All that aside I really like this McDonald's on Kuhio in Waikiki. I like the staff and what's more I respect the crazy things they put up with. McDonald's draws all kinds of people but in Waikiki they really handle some crazy characters! I couldn't do it! When I've been there lately it's been good food. Hot, fresh and definitely affordable. Well packed! Just double check if you like condiments! I've gotten some or none! No dining in! Still Covid safe rules. They require masks and do the Covid procedures. One door in, one out to keep distancing but it's definitely frustrating. Especially when it's busy and they have mobile orders! Some staff are better at enforcing the rules than others, but it's like that anywhere. Yes I love breakfast (if I make it before 1030 am lol) or a midday snack (hello chicken sandwich).

I tried a sandwich here once and it was really good. They toasted it and brought it out to me at my table (they were busy, so it took a while for it to be made). The coffee is always great. I typically order an iced coffee and it's always a hit. This location is in a hotel, so it can get really busy and even a little noisy with the waterfall. I'd recommend sitting at a table near the entrance if you're wanting to sit and chat with someone.

Kai Coffee is always a reliable stop, though if you've been to some of their other locations around…read morethe island, this one does feel a bit more corporate in comparison. The space is clean but lacks some of the charm you might find elsewhere, and the AC situation is on the limited side, so plan accordingly if you're visiting on a warm day. That said, the coffee itself holds up well. The macadamia nut flavors and other local twists on the menu are genuinely good and worth trying if you haven't before. It's the kind of spot that does what it sets out to do without a lot of fuss. A solid option when you're in the area and need a quick pick me up, even if the atmosphere isn't the most memorable of the bunch.

This is the only standing Kulu Kulu and I hope this place does not close, or if it does relocate, come closer to Central Oahu where the rent is cheaper, haha (hint). This location is on the outer edges of Waikiki on Hobron Lane in Eaton Square. I rarely venture to Waikiki, and if I do make the dreaded drive to "town", this place and Kan Sushi will be the only regular places where I will make my stop(s), because its so worth it. I've had a long-standing love-affair with Kulu Kulu from the Shirokiya Food Court location with it's waffle bears and Hello Kitty waffles, the takeout Nama Chocolate cups stocked at Mitsuwa Marketplace and now here, in town. The Ube Coconut Mousse $6.95 blew our minds, it was THE best tasting thing, ever. Both the ube and the coconut were not cloying, and as with all of their treats, not overly sweet either. That's why I love Japanese pastries, they get the sweetness just perfect and I have no idea how they mastermind that ratio! Strawberry Panna Cotta $5.95 was creamy, flavorful, delicious and surprisingly light and refreshing for such a creamy dessert. I normally don't get this kind of combination of flavors, and it tasted like something you'd get in a Michellin-rated establishment. Looking back at the photos, I see vanilla bean seeds in the panna cotta, so every loving detail and nuance shows through with each mouthful. Nama Chocolate $5.75 is my go-to chocolate LOVE. It's cut into cool creamy semi-sweet squares dusted with cocoa and it melts in your mouth! This is my favorite of all things that Kulu Kulu makes. I actually enjoy this better than the famous Royce Chocolates from Japan. We ordered another seasonal Strawberry dessert slice cake but it was eaten before I could review (and/or taste it); I've heard it was very very delicious. This place is so good that I plan to bring my friends who will be visiting from Virginia here to try their pastries. I also plan to support this business for as long as I can and make more frequent trips to town just to get these amazing desserts.

Negative. No restroom. Employee's did not know where closest restroom is. Really, a McDonalds Franchise without a restroom. Close this location. IHOP has a restroom: just down the street.Honolulu zone codes = if they do not serve alcohol they do not need restrooms, So, do not go to restaurants that do not serve alcohol. Besides, Waikiki sucks: Arrived after rain fall and my nieces both got skin and ear infections; I was in the water that day(it smelled of sewer) I have no ill effects, but they (nieces) are still using medication, Choose a better spot to vacation ; Waikiki stinks, almost 3rd world country. Americans there are better winter spots California or Florida or Mexico. Japanese - you should pick a different Island (Oahu stinks) or visit another vacation spot - if your vacation is shopping, why not Dubai. Waikiki is a cesspool read more

To begin with this place is a shit hole. Especially after midnight only hookers and homeless and drunks and not a place that you trust the food I would take a picture of the hookers but pimp would beat the crap out of me. Is also a McDonald's where the SS shot dead Da Hawaiian. the outside is a toilet for homeless. It really smells bad. I was out with my Marine buddies and stopped to see what I could get for $1... but most of the tables were taken by homeless (5) and I left when I saw manager over salt the cancer sticks ... not sprinkle but dump his load in one spot and scoop up the order of fried GMO. And these are people demanding $15 an hour? Never go here unless your a drunk whore or homeless wanting to get free wifi. read more

For those of us working in the area and on limited-time schedules. The service is usually slow. I've been to McDonald's in many states and around the world, and this one consistently has the worst service I have ever experienced. If there's a big order for 27 items for a group of 6, and a single order of small fries, the single order waits until the large order is fulfilled. poor management here with no incentive to be efficient (or friendly). Avoid this location! read more

I rarely eat at McDonald's, but when I do, I always order the same thing a cheeseburger with extra pickles and onions. Unfortunately, they never seem to get it right. Every time, my order is missing the extra pickles and onions I specifically ask for. It's not a complicated request, but the lack of attention to detail is disappointing. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

This comes with 4pc chicken fingers, crinkle cut fries, Texas toast, and a drink. Service was prompt, friendly, and great overall. Food was just as amazing. The chicken was cooked thoroughly, meat was moist, and the ratio of batter vs protein was good. The crinkle cut fries were crisp and the toast was nice and warm. My only complaint is the skimpy portions of napkins provided but it seems to be the norm at all of the eateries. 5/5 stars. This place made me see why Raising Cane's is so widely popular.

My son who was shopping nearby joined me at 2:30pm. We would take turns standing in line. On this particular day they opened up at 3:30pm. We placed our orders and because I asked for easy truffle sauce, I would have to wait a bit longer. Which was fine because those burgers looked very delicious cooking on the grill.

It did take a while for a hostess to show up at the front though. When we got there, the line was pretty long and it didn't look that busy. I think they were probably short staffed but still kinda sucked though. I think overall, my personal experience was just okay.
