    Gochujang Honey, Green Dragon and OG

    Definitely a place to check out if you're looking for bold and unique flavors! I'm always on the hunt for good fried chicken and this place easily earned a top spot in my list. Their flavors aren't like anything I tried before and the crunch when I first took a bite of their wings was *chefs kiss* Service was great and food came out in a timely manner considering I ordered online and my food was ready by the time I got to their restaurant. Also can we talk about the real flower garnish?! Beautiful presentation! The owner/owners were so nice and humble when I received my food and that's another reason I will be coming back!

    I thing they call the Big one. The first burger on the menu.

    Came for the chicken. But came back for the chicken burger LOL. The original chicken in the bun with pickles and Mac salad was out of this world! I took one bite and was going to eat it at home, gone in my stomach in 6 bites. I went the re again same thing! That Mac and garlic chicken and pickles , OMG Coming back next week

    Hot new business in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... I looked on instagram and saw that Nona is only open on Sundays... When metered street parking is free! I rushed over so that I could try the chicken wings. The signs were being set up, and the table cloths were being laid down! Hee hee! I heard that sizzling sound of the deep fryer... mmm! There are many different flavors... Including asian flavors such as yuzu... I ordered the 12 piece box so that I could try 3 different flavors. I selected the following: 1. OG sauce - garlic soy sauce, topped with sesame seeds 2. Home sauce - oyster sauce with black sesame seeds 3. Yuzu Buttah - citrus with creamy butter, topped with Furikake My family loved all three flavors! However, OG sauce was more flavorful (garlicky) than Yuzu and Home sauces. Can't wait to try the other sauces! Thank you for making the OG sauce wings into a plate... to show how it looks! The Mac salad was a bit spicy, and the takuan was a colorful touch!

    This place is pretty solid for a fried chicken joint. After trying most of the flavors the yuzu butter is the standout. At least I was smart enough and bought more of that when I introduced Nona to my von lovers. I knew they'd agree with me but hard for checkout the new chick when you already get one von, plus who the heck likes change? The chili calamansi, kochujung, green dragon, and og are all good don't get me wrong, but the one I dream of days later is the yuzu. I been lucky that they are nearby and have been open on some Saturdays so that there's one less thing for me to cook. I just wish they had one of those pre pandemic communication devices I think it's called a cell phone and sisig stuff from an older menu then it'd be complete. ;)

    I've been dying to try this place and I gotta say the flavors on them wings are incredible I ordered all six flavors. And the lumpia I loved the dynamite and calamansi because I love spicy. I would have wanted more rice but you no what we had a lot of food. It's made to order service there is great, there's seating if you choose to eat in. For me personally I was feeling the music vibe... check it out open on Sundays only 12-5

    Had to stop at Nona on my visit to the island after hearing good things about the place. Some of the best wings I have ever had. The service was very friendly and the ambiance was very lively! Anytime my friends visit the island, I make sure to refer them to this amazing grub spot. RichRaw is doing great things with the place, and I'll be sure to visit again

    15 piece meal.

    Absolutely loved Nona's! Hands down best wings on the island. If you're visiting the island make sure to program Nona's in your itinerary during your time on the island, if you don't you'll regret it. The wings were crispy, flavorful, and perfectly sauced--definitely the best I have ever had. The customer service was top-notch; friendly, fast, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. You can tell they really care about their food and their guests. Can't wait to come back! Five stars all the way.

    20 piece wings. You can choose up to 4 flavors. Front to back - Calamansi chili, Yuzu buttah, OG. All were delicious.

    Finally, a wing place that doesn't taste like every other wing place! Loved the Asian-fusion flavors, they did not disappoint. We had the OG, Yuzu Buttah and Calamansi Chili wings. Give them a try next time you're in the area

    yo nona chicken is fire i got the og, spv, and gochujang honey and bruh... all 3 were hella good. og was crispy and classic, spv had that salty garlicky flavor that hit diff, and the gochujang honey was sweet but spicy in the best way. chicken stayed crunchy and juicy too. 10/10 recommend fr everybody working was cherreh, real good service.

    People arent lying when they say these are the best wings EVER. My boyfriend doesnt like chicken wings & he even loved them! We ordered a combo plate with calamansi chilii (perfect spice, slight citrus, 8/10) & yuzu buttuh (10/10 my favorite) the meat falls off the bones & they are ALL FLATS!!! Idk if we just got lucky or if all of the wings are always flats but love that. The mac salad was really good (9/10) the kimchi was really good too. We also got a 9 piece box with hawaiian bbq (balance of sweet & tang (8/10) & og (balance of soy & sweet (9.5/10). Overall this place was soooo so good!! Must try! They have indoor seating & the woman that helped us was very nice, asked if we needed anything 3 times!

As usual parking is a little challenging since there's only about 5 stalls but the service is quick, so the cars move in and out pretty fast. This is one of the best places for a teri burger. Double Onion Royal is my fave. Their fries are those thick crinkle ones. So good! FPO loves the Green River. We took our feast to Wailupe Beach Park and scarfed. Good times!

I don't know who needs to hear this but In-N-Out is just not that good lol. W&M does it super simple yet so good. I got a cheeseburger with mayo and my bf got the HAL special. Both were 10/10. 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).

I used to come to this one all the time back in the 1980s. I only had fond memories. When we walked in, it had the same old musty smell like the Niu Valley Jack In The Box. Soda area was pretty dirty with lots of spilled soda all over and no employees bother to wipe it down. The Jumbo Jack was SO SMALL!! Barely anything in it!! They also didn't have ketchup!! How odd is that to not have ketchup? Some customer lost his temper and started yelling at the workers and eventually got into it with the manager. He claimed he was waiting for an hour for his food, which I highly doubt, but it was quite entertaining hearing him scream his head off at the manager. "I don't want my food now because you guys will probably spit in it!" He kept saying that over and over. It was pretty funny. Anyway, the place was just as smelly and dirty as the Niu Valley location, and the Jumbo Jack wasn't very "jumbo"! Hahaha!! I doubt we will return to any Jack In The Box establishments because so far 2 out of 2 were lousy!! I don't see much of a future for Jack In The Box. Sorry.

I was in the area with a couple of friends, who wanted to go to dinner. I suggested Vietnamese since there was a handful in the immediate area but one said let's go to the new burger joint. I'm like okay. We arrived here on a recent weekend in June 2026. The place wasn't too crowded and it was kind of buzzing. The place was as I remember it as a ramen place back in the early 2000's, but has been remodeled to serve the burger and fries loving community here in Kaimuki. We took our time and enjoyed the ambiance. It was a nice and simple experience here. If you want the alternative to the familiar, consider coming to Boarded Up by Chubby's Burgers in Kaimuki. While the ambiance could be a little better, the food was a hit and delicious at the same time. It was nostalgic to be in this place since it's been a while since I was here when it used to be a ramen place before it became a burger joint in Kaimuki. My friends and I decided to dine in and enjoy the evening. We all ordered a burger combo and it came with fries and a drink, the normal tradition of fast food. I ended up getting the Carolina onion burger with double patties and the spicy garlic fries. The tab was over $20 but for the first time, it was worth it for sure. It can get pricey for burgers and fries, but if you love double patty burgers, you're going to love having one here at Boarded Up by Chubby's burgers Kaimuki. My friends and I spent about 1 1/2 hours here eating and chilling afterwards. I ended up grabbing a milkshake to go, which was almost $10. The end result was delicious and very calorie dense. It was definitely a cheat meal and to celebrate a friend's birthday. The overall experience here at Boarded Up by Chubby's burger's Kaimuki was very good and quite the nostalgic piece because I've been here before Boarded Up took over the space and remodeled it as their own. The restaurant was very small as I remember it, boasting a bunch of tables in a limited space. The vibe was okay but the food was good. The service was quite good and friendly. They make everything made to order so you'd have to wait a good amount of time before you can eat. The restaurant itself is clean and easy to get to. The milkshake at the end was delicious as an after dinner drink to cap off a birthday celebration. For the most part though, having this new burger joint was good and a welcomed addition into the Kaimuki business ohana. If you are ever looking for an authentic alternative to the usual suspects and in the Kaimuki area, consider coming to this heavenly place where you can get in your burger fix for a reasonable price. While these burgers can be a bit pricey, you can be sure they are good and delicious which is the ideal set up. Everything is good here and definitely worth a try and sample. Make Kaimuki your destination here on Oahu and come on over to taste the delicious difference. The Carolina onion burger is pretty amazing and hope you will try that too. Ask for extra onions. Boarded Up by Chubby's Burgers is located in the Kaimuki district of Honolulu, Hi. It's physically located at 1108 12th Avenue next to the gas station on Harding Avenue. It's a stand alone building. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, there's a paid municipal lot right adjacent to the restaurant for the area's businesses. Quite nice for sure or you can find residential street parking nearby where you can find it. If you are like me, a few bus routes stop near the area. Namely, routes 1, 1L, 14, and 7. The popular bus stops runs along Koko Head Avenue and Waialae Avenues. Then there's always Uber and Lyft that can be the one that will get you here to where you need to be. And so, come here and come hungry. It's one of the best hidden gems in Kaimuki town. 5.0 stars for the overall experience even tho the ambiance is okay. Support local! A+

I went through the drive-through and the first thing they asked is if I would be using the app to order. That's weird. Why would I use the app to order in the drive-through? I came drive-through to talk to a human being. I asked for a caramel sundae and one for my husband too. The worker tells me my total and I pull forward and pay. I go to the second window. The worker there hands me two paper cups with just ice cream in them. I said, "I'm sorry but I asked for caramel sundaes." The worker said, "This is a plain sundae." What the heck is a plain sundae? A sundae, by definition, is ice cream with a topping on it, usually fudge or chocolate, sometimes strawberry or caramel. A sundae has toppings. I learned that at McDonald's, "plain sundae" is something you can order and it's just a cup of soft serve. In any case, I didn't order a plain sundae, I ordered a caramel sundae. The worker yelled something back to the first person who I had ordered from, then topped the ice creams with some caramel and handed them back to me. At least the price is the same for a "plain sundae" and caramel or chocolate versions, so I didn't have to pay the difference. Also, I gotta say, McDonald's really is practicing shrinkflation, as the last time I got a caramel sundae when it used to be in the plastic cups, it sure seemed like a lot more ice cream and a lot more caramel. This little paper cup of ice cream isn't really worth the price.

    (Tookout 04/22/26 WE @ 7:00pm): No raised fingers given at this chicken coop!…read more In my quest to continue exploring the various cuisine scenes as well as other businesses throughout O'ahu's Windward side, specifically the neighborhood of Hawaii Kai (southeast shore of the island), I ventured into Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers as my first time to ever try their food after I've seen them all over the place on the Mainland. I was always down for a juicy succulent piece of fried chicken however it was fed to me. It wasn't the healthiest way to eat chicken, but things fried just tasted better, correct!? Founded in 1996 on the campus of LSU by Todd Graves and named after a friend's Labrador Retriever (Raising Cane), his arduous dream that began in college has since grown into one of the fastest grown restaurant brands in the U.S. Would I raise a thumb's up instead of a middle finger to their tender chicken!? PURCHASE(S) 3pc Chicken Fingers Sandwich ($8.79): This messy two-hander was slipping and sliding all over the place as I tried to keep it together (I failed). Three crispy crunchy thick pieces of chicken between a pillowy soft sweet bun with a smear of Cane sauce and a hint of lettuce, this was a lovely introduction to this brand's food, and I now understood the hype that surrounded it. Aesthetics aside, you could've easily eaten this as fingers and a side of bread, but this large sandwich did the job. My only wish was that it was spicy and came with pickle chips, but it was still ono! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=sod8F8j7AIUDoK3mQptIUw The Box Combo - 4pc Chicken Fingers, Crinkle-Cut Fries, Texas Toast, Coleslaw, Cane Sauce, 22floz Drink ($12.79): Because of my sandwich, I was able to split this meal into two! Loaded with a little bit of everything, the chicken was just as yummy as my sandwich, there were plenty of spud sticks with a light dusting of seasoning, the toast was a revelation all on its own and would easily order a few more as a snack, the coleslaw lacked flavor (I put some on my sandwich instead), the Cane sauce add a touch of zing but wished it was spicy, and the sweet tea was like I was transported to the South it was so damn good and probably loaded with a ton of sugar. A heck of a meal at a deal! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=f5GUo39r6DcCdVAVoN-ArA SERVICE I was greeted by a young woman at the front counter where I immediately placed my order, received my cup to fill with my fountain drink of choice, and within five minutes my name was called as we caught each other's eyes while I waited nearby. Everything was good - mahalo! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance): Located in the outdoor Hawaii Kai Towne Center, there were plenty of spots although I decided to do the 25-minute one-way walk for exercise - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A standard quick-service restaurant layout with a central order counter, a fountain drink machine off to the side, plenty of dining spots in a spacious room, and minimal decorations with some interesting elements such as these ceiling disco balls https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=Ruk3zzf-dWb0pTPXWIWt6Q (I didn't know if they actually worked). Plenty of natural lighting came in through the front doors and surrounding windows while recessed electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while pop music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I really enjoyed the food at Hawaii Kai's Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers location as my first experience with this brand. High marks for all of the food (however... please add some spice to the chicken seasoning and sauce, and more flavor to the coleslaw), the portions were great, the prices were very reasonable, and the service straightforward. The menu was extremely limited, but the same could be said with In-N-Out. I wished there were some Hawaii-specific menu items. Sure, they were a fast-food chain restaurant, but they started as a local small mom & pop business at one time. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $23.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    This is just fast food. I can't say it is anything more or less than I expected. They made the…read morebread fresh though. I needed to wait for the toast. We ordered a big tray of them. Inside was spacious and clean.
