    Breakfast burrito
    Fernanda F.

    I recently visited Cheeseburger In Paradise during breakfast time because it was one of the few places showing the FIFA World Cup game, and I wish I had gone somewhere else. This place is not exactly known for its breakfast, so I guess that was our mistake, but we decided to check it out anyway since we didn't have many options that early in the day. Also, I guess we were not the only ones with the same idea, because the place was packed. A cool feature is that they have numerous screens throughout the restaurant, so regardless of where you sit, you can watch your favorite team play. The staff was amazing and ensured everything ran smoothly. However, the main reason I'm giving them three stars is that the food was not great and the coffee tasted absolutely horrendous (seriously bad). Would I come back? Probably not, but the only reason I'm not giving them below three stars is because the staff was truly wonderful.

    Pffffff. After trying surfing for the first time all I wanted was a burger. This spot for what it's worth is a burger joint. Service was prompt given the time of day and how filling was buy the team has it down packed. Ambiance was chill. Burger and a brew at 5pm. Shoot. What else do you want? Want a burger? Come here.

    While walking , the tables near the entrance caught my eyes as the food looked so good. I grabbed a table to enjoy watching the NBA playoffs and grub and the ambiance was so chill and Theresa my server was amazing. I ordered the cheeseburger in paradise medium cooked with fries and a cold Hawaiian IPA. It was so good , I ordered wings and a salad to for dinner later. If you are loving for good food and watch sports or have a large party, this is the spot!

    Not a bad burger, but not the best. The Island burger with pineapple was good, as was their bacon cheeseburger. The fries were just ok. Ok service, a bit slow due to large crowd. Great mai tais. Decorated as you might expect, with Hawaiian and surf decor. TVs were over at the bar area. Waikiki Beach is right across the street.

    I ordered one of their cheap $10 mai tais. Upgraded with another shot of rum for $4 Ordered up a molasses beer, ended up tasting like coffee beer. My island burger was to die for. Our server was on top of things and provided great service. The ambiance tonight was very loud, lots of road noise, lots of loud mouthed people around me.

    Rude Hostess

    I am so conflicted writing this review because our waitress, Kristy, was absolutely wonderful--attentive, sweet, and fast with our delicious food and drinks. Unfortunately, the experience was completely marred by the hostess, Bryu (I believe that was the spelling). We politely asked to move our seats to get out of the direct sun, and she acted visibly annoyed that we even asked. It got worse from there: she stood nearby talking about us to other staff members, laughing and pointing in our direction. It was incredibly rude and unprofessional, leaving us feeling deeply uncomfortable and upset. Kristy deserves five stars, but management seriously needs to address Bryu's (again, I believe that this was the spelling) behavior. A customer should never be made to feel like a burden or the butt of a joke just for asking for a comfortable seat.

    Super cool vibes! Friendly staff! Our waitress was awesome! The food was great as well! My wife and I split a burger and fries with each of us getting a smoothie - so good and refreshing! My brother got a huge order of nachos and devoured that real quick! We definitely had an appetite after the plane ride so this place hit the spot!

    We stopped by Cheeseburger in Paradise located at 2500 Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki Beach Honolulu. Admittedly the happy hour Bloody Mary's for $7 drew us in but unfortunately they were underwhelming to say the least. The bloody mix was watered down or something and it wasn't very good, but I suppose that you get what you pay for... We didn't order anything else but we might return to try some of the food offerings. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

    We stopped in for a couple of cocktails after dinner at another location. It was packed. We were lucky to find a seat at the bar. Lucky for me, it was also sunset. This location is PRIME for sunset. I did cross the street to grab a couple of pictures. Our drinks were good, service was quick and friendly.

    Ahi nachos

    Food: *** C. My boo came here while I was working and had the Ali'i Cheeseburger. He said if he would have just had that and nothing else he would have rated the food here a 5 but on his second time here (my first time) we had the small portioned poke nachos and chicken wings with onion rings. The chicken wings came out cold and we prefer our wings to have a little more meat on the bone. Service: **** B, My fiancé says when there's two sides to this. When they're backed up their service goes to hell but when they slow down they're very personable. I think their service is great; Nolan changed the TV for us so we had straight on viewing of the Detroit Lions game so that was exceptional service! Ambiance: **** B. open-air concept with tropical vibe. Lot of people hanging out watching their football teams. Nutrition tip: order the ahi poke nachos for a healthier take on nachos. Don't expect them to have beans and cheese on them, these come with won top chips and soy sauce!

    While in Waikiki today, hungry after doing a test run from Kapolei on the Skyline and bus into town. Decided to grab a bite at this restaurant along the road that run a next to beach. Being a tourist spot we knew it would be slightly pricier. Husband ordered burger and order a Mahi Burger. Husband very happy with his burger and fries. My Mahi Burger was tasty, and salad instead of fries. The place was lively given games that were going on at the time. The interior is part bar with sports playing on the screens in this section restaurant. Our server was great. Wish I asked his name to give him a shout out for his friendly efficient service.

    Mahi Mahi sandwich
    Michelle C.

    Fun, cool environment. Fast service. Server was friendly. Food just okay. Fish tacos way too salty. Mahi mahi sandwich good. Burgers juicy but feel overpriced for what you get. Paying for the experience. Update: Went to Lulus for dinner last night and the burgers were so much better!

    Poke nachos
    Nathaly M.

    This place is good, the location is ideal and we never had a problem with getting seated quickly, our server Celeste was super sweet and even gave us suggestions of where we get some good local bites! The food is good, I don't think it's crazy impressive but it will not disappoint. I will say the poke nachos were good but a tad salty so maybe asking for not to much of the sauces would be a good thing

Not impossible, but hard to find in Hawaii. And oh they were worth it. They were properly fried so they were done, but not over-fried. They were juicy instead of dried out. A little greasy, but not so much it was disgusting. If I had to share, it would be necessary to get two orders. I will definitely order from this location again and get the gizzards. Kudos to whoever was staffing the fryer today - both the gizzards and the snow wings were exceptionally well-prepared.

I uploaded this picture into chat gpt with the business explanation of the pinking in poultry and according to AI, "Pinking" can happen in cooked poultry -- but what you're showing in the photo does not look like harmless pinking. Here's the difference in plain language: Harmless "pinking" (still fully cooked) * Happens from smoking, high heat, or certain proteins. * The meat is fully opaque, firm, and cooked through. * Only the outer edge or near the bone looks pinkish. What your picture shows * The meat looks translucent, soft, and raw, especially near the joint. * There are dark, bloodlike areas around the bone. * The texture looks undercooked, not just color-changed from chemical reactions. Even with pinking, cooked chicken never looks glossy or raw in the center the way yours does. I decided not to go back to the counter because there was a language barrier and I felt the woman wasn't listening to me in the first place anyway. Threw pretty much all the food away and left hungry and down $20.

It's a very satisfying meal and definitely a cheat meal for me - I don't eat it often. Service is always efficient whether you order over the phone or in-person. I really enjoy the chicken here it's always crispy on the outside and tender when you bite into it. They get a lot of orders for people just picking up so it's great to see this location stay busy. Interior is very clean and bright with KPOP or K-Dramas playing on the TVs. If you're waiting for your food I recommend just chilling and watching what's on the tv - at least that's what I do LOL!

Because my kids can't handle spicy food, I asked for one dish to be made non-spicy so they could try it first. They loved it, so I ordered a second serving of the exact same dish for them. When the second order arrived, I could clearly see red chili flakes throughout the dish. As soon as my kids started eating, they complained that it was too spicy and couldn't finish it. I politely asked if the kitchen could remake the dish with no spice, explaining that it was for young children. Instead of trying to help, I was told the dish was made the same way as the first one and that it was the best they could do. There was no effort to find a solution or accommodate such a simple request. We ended up spending over $100 on a meal that our kids couldn't eat, and the lack of customer service made the experience even more disappointing. Sadly, we won't be returning and can't recommend this restaurant to families with young children. This version flows more naturally while emphasizing the inconsistency between the first and second dishes.

Open for 3-4 years, it is one of those hole-in-the-wall places that locals who live and work in the neighborhood are cognizant of as a hidden gem.

They have plates, sandwiches, and slushies. I got the Taro Hokkaido Slushie for takeout. It was okay...I can't tell you what it tastes like...other than that it was sweet. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich was unassuming. It was slightly spiced...a bit different than I am used to and it had a bit of a kick. I would not order anything spicy from their menu. Piece of battered chicken breast that was both juicy and flavorful. A real surprise. Service was just under 15 minutes...I walked in and ordered takeout. There was one order ahead of me. Dining area is bigger than you would think, but there are only four tables inside...it is mostly a takeaway place. Parking stalls are for Uncle's and the plaza. Stalls at Upscale, as well. Hours are from 1030a till 930p...except on Fridays and Saturdays, when they close at 1000p.

That totals my 10 pieces. More bones and excess crispy flour then consumable meat. NOBODY gives a Chicken back (or 1/2 a back)! Not Popeyes, not KFC or Zippy's who will remain my Favorite because I will only get ripped off the 1st time, never again. Additionally, they make you buy the sauce, the reason is due to no seasoning on the over floured bread...but it IS Crispy! The Chicken tenders were overcooked and REALLY Chewy around the edges. Just a LOT of breaded Crispy with no flavor, what "Chef" doesn't even use salt? Really, if you're going to risk testing this food, PAY for some sauce! I hope the Owner reads this and realizes that ripping people off by selling broken pieces that most Chef's throw away because they have so little meat on them, isn't going to keep him in business. The profit margin may be up while folks are trying it, spending their hard earn $$$'s, yet not coming back will be the ultimate demise of this business as many other have come and gone doing the exact same thing, not putting themselves in he patron's position. Ask yourself this: When was the last time you saw a bowl of whole chicken pieces and immediately grabbed one that was back bone chopped in half?
