Inside has bar counter seats or high tops. Overall, I prefer the Kapolei shop over SALT. It feels more spacious, there's better food and the retail fridge seems to carry more variety - I found some rlly unique brands this past visit (: Service is consistently relaxed, helpful and friendly. . cheers!

I placed an online order for pickup with a scheduled pickup time of 8:15 PM. I arrived a few…read moreminutes early, checked in, and the employee told me it would be "just a minute" before walking away. Since the restaurant looked very busy, I waited another 25 minutes, until about 8:45 PM. I then asked for an update on my order, and I was told it would be another 20 minutes. At that point, I asked if my order had even been started, considering it was only two Smash Burgers and an order of fries. Given the excessive delay and lack of communication, I requested a refund. The long wait and poor updates were very disappointing, especially since I had placed my order in advance for pickup.

My mom saw this place on TV this morning and she had high hopes for the food but sadly we were…read moredisappointed. We can deal with it being kinda in the ghetto of Waipahu but it was the very unhappy (clearly annoyed) counterperson who was taking our order - who SNAPPED AT MY MOM because she was confused with what comes with their plate lunch AND then the cook (assumedly - a different person than who took our order) annoyingly brought our items out to the table. She ordered the chop steak - I thought tasted ok, but it was seasoned heavier than my mom would like. Portion was right for the price. I got their signature Loco Moco burrito - SAD. It was $20, majority rice and mac salad, no meat. I needed a knife to cut the burrito in half, there was no counterperson or anyone available to ask for a knife, so I kind of looked around their register area and found a random one on the side, cut the burrito in half, DEFINITELY NOT how they showed it on TV, if the counterperson came back, I probably would have asked for them to swap it out. We were sitting for about 25 mins - nobody came back to the counter? If it wasn't for the counterpersons unfriendly attitude I was planning to buy their signature dessert to go, but I was turned off by the whole experience AND he didn't come back out anyways until literally I was throwing our containers away. He didn't greet us. Thank us. Ask how everything was. Or say anything when we were leaving. We saw the owners on TV and are happy and glad to support a local business BUT NOT when your employees are rude and unfriendly. $45 - 1 mini plate + 1 signature item and 2 cans of soda, I would SKIP this place

Let's not forget the Swiss cheese, sweet peppers, mustard, and mayo. Bacon waffle fries- delicious ! If you're a French fry lover, you won't wish to share this dish! Great quality, flavors and service .. I'll be back again!!

They were all incredibly friendly and you can tell unks (the owner Del) is a genuine person and takes pride in his business. He made conversation with me and let me sample choke stuff while I waited for my food, which wasn't long at all. I got the #3 Hapa Burger (added jalapeños and creamy wasabi sauce) with a side of fries. Let me just tell you... MEAN. The flavor of the dill sauce mixed with the creamy wasabi sauce had a perfect balance of flavors. The patty had a teriyaki glaze which wasn't too sweet or overpowering. You'll definitely be full at the end of the meal. I'd also like to note their fries are my favorite kine fries, shoestring fries. Overall: 5/5 Service: 10/10 I'd come back just to support unks Value: 5/5 Prices were very reasonable Food: 5/5 Not too over powering but not bland at all

Everything about it is delicious. I make it a combo n' either get the corn chowder or waffle fries, which are both great complimenting sides. The birria wontons are crispy n' make a nice appetizer or side to any meal. Especially with the consommé, full of flavor with a mild heat. Jolene's always has lots of good food n' drinks to choose from!

The initial hello seemed forced but the fact that they acknowledge you rather than just waiting till you are at the counter or not at all. The pictures seem to be up to date but the prices have increased since the last time the menu was photographed. You order a burger was the bottom section then select the type from the top row. You can order a combo meal or à la carte. I ordered a burger with tater tots and requested that they double fry them. They came out perfectly crunchy and filled the bag size ordered. The burger was also well flavored and juicy. They quoted 10min and that seemed about right. One of the servers offered me one of the in house sauces, ask for that as it was really good. The only negative was the pricing, burger and 1 size cost me almost $30.

When we got our food, my burger was only luke warm (and my onion rings, too). I ordered it medium rare and this was the first time it was almost medium, and not any all juicy. Since I paid an extra $3.50 for my onion rings I was very disappointed. Only plus is they were nice and crunchy. Hubby's burger and fries were hot, so my order must have been made first and then just sat there for a while. Hubby was happy with his meal since it was hot and cooked medium as he ordered. Not happy. First time I gave them only three stars.

BRUNCH REVIEW! Food: 5/5…read moreService: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Located inside of Foodland Farms Kapolei, this place is easy to find. Lots of parking available as well since this is part of a shopping center. Made reservations via OpenTable and glad that I did because I noticed this place was pretty busy for brunch. I believe brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays. My party and I shared the Korean Chicken & Mochi Waffles and the Two Eggs with Anykine Fried Rice and Portuguese Sausage. We also ordered a bottle of mimosa to share. Portions aren't really big but this was enough food for the both of us. Food was delicious and we recommend ordering them. We didn't realize that the spread for the mochi waffles was wasabi-based, so beware if you aren't a fan of wasabi. Our server was friendly and helpful. I loved the ambiance of this place. Great place for families and catching up with friends. I recommend stopping in!

I highly recommend avoiding this place if you are planning a special occasion--or any meal at all. Our experience was a disaster from start to finish: * The Birthday Guest's Meal: The birthday guy ordered the steak frites. The center of his steak arrived raw, and his fries were soggy, limp, and stringy. * The Burger: My other friend ordered a burger. It was entirely uninspired and nothing special; he ended up leaving a quarter of it behind on the plate. * The Anykine Salad: (MORE LIKE WASABI KINE SALAD) I initially ordered the Anykine Salad with chicken and absolutely hated it. The entire dish tasted overwhelmingly of nothing but wasabi, and the chicken was so incredibly dry it could have been a prop. * The Dessert: Our server was kind enough to take the salad away. Because I felt awkward sitting at the table without food, I decided to try the chocolate mud pie as a replacement. It was severely freezer-burned and so rock-hard that trying to cut it with a steak knife nearly split the ceramic plate. Nobody at the table enjoyed it and since we paid for it, ate what we could handle, and we left a quarter of it behind yet again. The only saving grace was our server, who was attentive enough to clear the inedible dishes. However, the kitchen's performance was completely unacceptable. I feel terrible for bringing my best friend here for his birthday and subjecting him to such a miserable experience. Save your money and go somewhere else that actually cares about food quality.

Look for the orange food truck across from Boston's Pizza along Kam Highway, you can't miss it. We got there about 1pm on a Monday and placed our orders right away. Everything is made to order so there is a bit of a wait, about 10 minutes. There are about 7 picnic tables and 4 shaded areas to eat. I was also surprised that there were quite a few Japanese tourists venturing out this side for Shay's. Their menu is simple, with 3 types of burgers and fries. We ordered the All American, Fun Guy, and Krazy Fries. I like how the burgers did not taste greasy but still had flavor. They also give disposable gloves if you're not a fan of getting your hands dirty. Will be back again next time I have a burger craving.

The Classic with two variations; fries and loaded fries. The sauce is reminiscent of the special sauce in a Big Mac, which I have not had in years. Cheddar cheese and carmelized onions are the only other additions. Open from 1100a till 430p, weekdays. On the weekends, hours are from 12 noon till 400p.
