    McNuggets
    Stephanie V.

    I had a craving for fast food and figured I'd check out the app deals for McDonald's. This location is walkable from my home so I selected it for its convenience. The location is in the heart of Waikiki and while not the cleanest McDonald's I've been to, it's okay. There was some trash on the tables near me when I entered but I did see workers cleaning here and there. I ordered via the app, which I recommend so you can get the best deals. Otherwise, you have to order at the kiosk--not the counter--at this location. Your order begins to be prepared once you enter the vicinity of the location; this way it's meant to be fairly fresh. Even with that, my french fries were pretty cold and soft, not crisp and hot as I was hoping they would be. My burger was warm and good and my McNuggets were hot. My order was prepared just like I asked for it to be prepared, so points for accuracy. I ordered an ice cream cone and they didn't start it until the rest of my hot food was ready and I came to the counter to pick it up. I do appreciate that. Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite to eat in Waikiki and just want some fast food to make things easy, this is a good location. Keep in mind the Hawai'i McDonald's do have some things the mainland locations don't have, such as fried pies instead of baked, so be sure to check those out.

    Haupia Pie
    Cindy M.

    We saw that you could only get haupia pie here in Hawaii, so we had to get it. We came to this location, and it appears the only way to order is through the 2 kiosks. They don't take in-person orders. The line for the kiosk was pretty long. Even after ordering, it took a while to get our one haupia pie. Altogether it probably took about 25-30 minutes from waiting in line to picking up our order. The restaurant appeared pretty dirty, like tables not being clean. Fortunately despite the restaurant experience, the haupia pie came out super hot. Even after a 10 minute walk it was piping hot. The haupia pie was delicious! It had a nice, crunchy, almost oily exterior (in a good way). The filling was slightly runny, with a coconut flavor and like coconut gel pieces (not a lot, but some to give texture). I don't think I would crave this flavor necessarilym but it was pretty cool to try!

    I decided to try Mcd's while in Hawaii. I got my regular Big Breakfast with Hot Cakes and sausage burritos. They were pretty good per usual. I had to try the Local Deluxe Breakfast Platter which had rice, eggs, spam and Portuguese sausage. I thought the sausages were too salty but the rice was cooked perfectly. The staff were kind and efficient. They packed everything I requested and I got my food pretty quickly. Service 10/10 Food 8/10

    Good location. Fast , efficient and good manner . No public restroom. They offer Hawaiian breakfast like spam , pork sausage with scrambled egg and rice as well as the traditional western breakfast.

    Love RICE, EGG, SPAM, SAUSAGE? Yes I do!! Everytime I come back to Honolulu, this is on my to do list always :) This location never disappoints, from ordering on the app or just standing in line, workers are fast and quick to bring out the food. Prices aint bad at all. The atmosphere is alright, could be crowded but also just quiet.

    10/17/2025 Backs turned. A sign that doesn't encourage cash. "Please use kiosk"
    Miss D.

    I'm here now and they aren't taking cash. No one is working the register. No one is answering me when I ask if I can pay. Great job employees! No one wants to work! I'm here waiting for a mobile pick up order too. That's why I wanted to pay cash. It was a last minute add on. Well they don't want my cash. Ambience? Unwelcoming and not good for kids. Get To-go. Backs turned. No one taking cash at the register. Workers were leaving drinks on the counter. So customers were touching the tops of them, and one person drank a drink and left their half-drunk drink on the counter. They didn't even throw the half-drunk drink away! It sat there, on the food counter unattended. Eventually they refilled it and put it back on the counter. UN-HYGIENIC and LOUSY service. Check your cameras McD's! 10/17/2025, 10:07pm-10:30 ish. Disgusting! Look at my pictures and captions! I made one worker throw a drink away because I saw people touching the top of it. The workers' backs are turned. They are NOT watching what people are doing to the food and drinks after they put them on the counter!! Also the side area said closed and had a whole worker's family back there. The worker kept going back there to visit. Normally I wouldn't care but the service was so poor no one should be able to have guests in a "closed" area of the restaurant. Customers couldn't sit there, but the family of a worker could. Got it. Worst McDonald's I've ever been to. Go to the McDonald's on 2400 Kalakaua or 1778 Ala Moana. Much better! Next day I ordered McDonalds.. this time from Door Dash (I thought it might be better). This same McDonalds didn't give me a single Monopoly piece! I specifically ordered McDonalds BECAUSE of monopoly. I didn't get a single game piece after spending $50 and selecting items (on door dash) that earned monopoly game pieces. NO monopoly pieces, NO napkins, and they forgot my hot fudge sundae. I got the long Spoon but NO sundae. Corporate PLEASE audit and inspect this McDonald's. PLEASE!!! ***TLDR: I highly recommend you do not go to this McD's for dinner.

    Teri burger meal
    Toma C.

    This place is average all across the board. I don't hear often but maybe if I am craving french fries. I decided to try the Teri burger and it was too sweet the sauce and thick. I didn't like the sauce at all. The burger was kind of thick from what I have gotten in the past. The fries was perfect but for 10.00 I wouldn't buy this combo. I used the app to get the special and still was expensive imo. It can get busy here and you'll have to wait for a while.

    I love coming to McDonald's in Hawaii because they still deep-fry their pies! Also, they have flavors you cannot get elsewhere in the mainland like haupia, Taro, or mango flavored pies.

    I'm now on my hunt for the Squishmallow Happy Meal toys. I got Maui at this location. I asked the manager working at the counter to find that one for me as it's my favorite. She told me that she couldn't find it as it's all packaged, but you can clearly see through the bag. She told me that, but I saw her looking for Maui. Thank you! So the Squishmallow Happy Meals are $4.99. It comes with either four pieces of chicken nuggets or a hamburger. You can a little more for the six piece nuggets or cheeseburger. It came with two little boxes of french fries and a small drink.

    Breakfast McMuffin with Portuguese Sausage
    Stephanie L.

    When in Hawaii, you absolutely have to come to McDonald's, to experience their Hawaiian Breakfast. I came here at like 5 AM because I was thirsty for some coffee and nothing was open yet . This location is open 24 hours right on Kuhio behind all the main tourist areas. Be careful coming here because there are some shady characters roaming around the area . Saw on TikTok that you can substitute the meat inside the breakfast sandwiches for Portuguese sausage so that's what I went for . When I got my order, of course that's not what happened so they had to fix the sandwich again. They ended up giving me three pieces of sausage for my inconvenience. When I open the sandwich, it was completely dry but I ate it anyways. For having literally two or three customers in the entire establishment and I'll see how they can. F up a breakfast sandwich but I guess that's just maybe this location lol

    This "McDonald's" location is really low key. I was in Waikiki in May and Sep 2022, and I didn't notice it until my visit in Mar 2023. This location is currently open 7 days a week, from 06:00a to 12:00a. I'm giving 3-stars, which equates to "OK". We all know what McDonald's food is. I just dropped in for a late-night snack while walking back to my hotel. In spite of the late hour, the food and service met expectations. By the way: McDonald's in Hawaii do have menu items which cater to the local market, and which are not available on the mainland. Give those a try.

    Dirty restaurant, can only imagine the quality of the food based on what I see here!

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.

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!
