    Ribbon fries, banana pancakes, pork adobo
    Lore M.

    I really liked this place, super close to where we were staying so it was our go to spot. Tiny inside with a couple of tables to eat outside. They have a good variety to choose from. They are from Argentina so they have argentina style empanadas, I ordered the chicken empanada and really enjoyed it could use some salsa or more flavor tho. Banana pancakes were bomb! They also have coconut syrup to make it even better! Loved the adobo plate and their custom ribbon fries were soo good! I was not a fan of the lemonade drinks, they were super sweet. Prices are pretty good being that it's in the prime of waikiki. Orders can take some time but the staff is cool.

    Bacon cheeseburger (comes with fries)
    Lindsay G.

    Cute lil spot for quick and friendly service. Everything I've eaten here has been delicious. I usually eat breakfast here (burritos, croissant sandwiches, and spam and eggs over rice). Good bang for your buck! I recently had their bacon cheeseburger and that was well worth the money and calories Their burgers come with fries and those always seem to be cooked to perfection. They've got a variety of sauces including spicy mayo that's good in pretty much everything. They've also got quite an array of drinks... I've only ordered coffee there but I heard their boba tea was pretty good. This is probably one the cheaper options in this area but I think the food is pretty damn good! Come give them a try and support their small business.

    Located on a back street you'll find it next to a very popular hostel. The owner operators are very nice, personable and easy to like. If I recall correctly they are from Argentina and that said you'd think birria tacos and empanadas should be one of their strong suits. They offer wide variety of items though. From burgers to fries, Filipino classics like lechon kawalli, pork adobo and lumpia! What did we order? - Bacon Cheese Burger: 3/5 Stars - Fries: 3/5 Stars - Birria Tacos: 2/5 Stars - Lumpia Shanghai: 2/5 Stars Run down: - On standard items like a bacon Cheeseburger that could easily be fixed with just bit more seasoning. The fact that they've not given that much consideration to the flavor has it fall short of standard expectations. - The lumpia was very bland, honestly had a flavor and feel of a poor quality frozen store bought lumpia. - The Birria tacos also victim of poor flavor and the consomé was the so far from the traditional standard of flavorful broth that if this were a persons first experience of Birria tacos, said guest would likely not be interested in trying one from another restaurant if this were the basis. Overall, if Hi.Shack gave a little more care to the flavor as they do to being personable, they could become a solid late night go to. But for now, it falls short, and I'd likely recommend McDonalds or Dominos to a friend verses a rec to Hi.Shack Kitchen

    Lemonade menu
    Brian P.

    We were staying around the corner and came here for their flavored lemonade. They also sell burgers, sandwiches, fried food, and other similar items. The red guava lemonade we got on our first night was really good and came in a 24 oz plastic cup as advertised. The next day we ordered a mixed lemonade, specifically the Honey Gurl (honeydew & passionfruit) and it came in a paper 20 oz coffee cup instead. The mixed lemonade was definitely not as good. I would recommend the red guava lemonade but just wished there was some more consistency across their drinks. Both the flavored and mixed lemonade are advertised as being a 24 oz plastic cup on their menu

    Lumpia Shanghai, Fried Noodles, and Empinadas and good beers
    John K.

    Ate dinner here at the HI Shack on Lemon Ave. Last night. We had beef empanadas fried Noodles and lumpia Shanghai. The service was counter order and a vibrator pager. The ladies were all friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is a hole in the wall fast food local restaurant. They are quick with great tasting food and offer a huge variety with great hours of service. Give them a try when in the area.

    Breakfast Burrito

    So we were a little Leary but o very surprised and happy with the food and service. Banana pancakes were the bomb!!! So good. Breakfast burrito and the side salad were very good and the chicken empanada did not disappoint. Would go again!

    Lumpia for 30 bucks
    Jonathan J.

    If I could give negative stars, I would. I don't know what unholy kitchen circus I ordered from, but somehow I paid $30 in tips and fees just to receive absolutely nothing but disappointment and existential dread. First they made me wait hours -- HOURS -- as if my time is some kind of complimentary appetizer they can serve cold. Then DoorDash hit me with the fees like it was a premium subscription to misery. By the time the food finally arrived, it looked like it survived a battlefield and lost. And the lumpia? I've seen paper towels with more crisp and integrity. The lumpia were colder than my soul after waiting. The taste was 90% melted garbage, 10% regret. And the meal I actually ordered? Apparently fictional, because it wasn't in the bag. I never got my beef noodles. For $30 extra, I basically tipped the driver for apologizing and paid a convenience fee for a cold lumpia funeral. This wasn't a meal -- it was a life lesson in suffering. At this point, I genuinely believe the kitchen is run by gremlins blindfolded, using instructions written in crayon. Save yourself. Save your money. Save your sanity. I would rather eat a microwaved gas-station lumpia that fell on the floor than ever order from here again.

    Pork Kawali

    Absolute robbery. No where near the amount advertised (check photo below).Nearly $20 for six small pieces of pork. Never again.

    Super yummy cute spot behind park shore hotel. Food was good and so was the service . Breakfast burrito is good

    Ah, W&M, how we missed you! I'm so glad you're still around. Given the number of long-time business…read morethat have closed down for one reason or another, it was wonderful to find W&M still going strong. 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!

The fries have changed since small kid times, but the burgers taste exactly the same. I've now introduced W&M to my own children and we enjoy stopping by to pick up some burgers and fries together as a family. The parking lot is small but we've been lucky to find a stall the times we've been going. They have a beautiful mural in their parking lot that shows where they have been before their location in Kaimuki. There is also a history of W&M burger from the humble beginnings of starting a burger place. You can call ahead and even order online so your food is ready to be picked up. If you go to the counter then be prepared to wait a little bit, as they are flame-grilled made-to-order burgers and fries. If you want a side of nostalgia with your delicious burger, then check out W&M! Happy Eating!

She made us feel genuinely welcomed, took great care of us throughout our meal, and was quick, attentive, and friendly the entire time. Her excellent service made an already enjoyable visit even better. The food was fantastic. The burger was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly, while the fries were extra crispy with a delicious garlic flavor that really stood out. Since it's an open-air restaurant, it was a little warm dining at around 1:00 p.m., but that was the only minor downside. Overall, everything was lovely, and Christine's outstanding hospitality made the experience memorable. I would definitely come back!

However, they were closed on Mondays....sad face! So we just started walking. We found ourselves at Ala Moana East...LOL! Walking through it all, we reminisced about the old International Market Center. We started toward the Food Hall, and Debs said that Banzai Burger was good, so we went. The woman working was so nice! I ordered a Waimea burger which has two patties, cheese, sauteed onions, and bacon. It was good and came with some nice crispy fries. Deb ordered a child's meal with two little sliders and fries. We sat facing Kuhio and watched all the different people walking by. It was all very fun because some of them were funny to watch! It's interesting how some of the tourists will not venture outside of Waikiki and would only do so on a tour. Banzai does have some really cold Coronas, so I suggest coming here, sitting back, and watch the world go by! Mahalo Banzai!

There is a private lot that you can park in, so parking is free and not an issue. However, looking for this place might be. It's literally just a black door with a white window and red light above it that's located next to the stairs and on the first floor. Just roll up to the door/ window where you can find their menu. It's a pretty small menu but what is offered is out of this world! I don't know where else you would get a double patty smash burger for only $9! Just push the button and a guy will open The window to help you. Once you place your order bell close it again and you'll just have to wait for it to be prepared. He'll open it up again when your food is ready and that is when you pay for your goods. It gave me mafia vibes here and it felt so secretive lol. Kind of like a speakeasy but for burgers? Lol I'm sure the effects would be moreso in the middle of the night with a little red light on the door. I picked up the og burger + onion rings. Their fry sauce was sweet chili oil + Mayo and fried to perfection. But - I think for just $2 more I should have got the other burger instead. Lol. The burger was huge and so juicy. I will totally come back again cause it was that good!

The place is very hard to locate, due to the lack of good signage, but it's in the shopping center right next to the Lobster King. Parking is very difficult too, so maybe have another person with you who can order and wait for the food. 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!
