    My husband and I come to Hawaii a few times in a year and Joja is the spot we go to every time we are back. I was so excited when they announced that they started serving burgers in Waikiki Beachwalk which meant I could have their delicious burgers twice on a single trip! I lined up around 3 PM at this location and was one of the first few to get burgers. The burgers are juicy, well seasoned, flavorful and just pure perfection. The line is absolutely worth it and I am already dreaming about my next trip back here.

    I made the cut before they sold out!

    This was on my bucket list as the Joha pop up is only here in Waikiki on Monday during the Waikiki Marketplace from 4-8 pm. Arriving at 4:28, I waited in line for 2.25 hours making some new friends who were tourists and here for the first time due to the social media hype. Yes - 2.25 hours waiting and taking one for the team as my wife and son strolled off browsing at the various items being sold by the Locals. Approximately 1 hour before I got to order, they started to walk the Line asking how many you were planning to order. One person was doing a tally and another was video taping just in case there might be problems later on. We received a receipt which showed the quantity that you wanted and that was your prized tix which you would hand in upon paying. So was it worth the long wait? Well it depends on how much you are willing to try their Smash burger. My fav is still Causwells in San Francisco. I would rate it close to Maillards also in San Francisco which has a similar concept in which they participate at a Sunday Farmers Market which also has a line up to wait but not as lonnnnnnng as Joja! So if you are a tourist I would say - try this place on Monday for the experience but queue up at least 30 mins before they open at 4.

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!

You may order online on their website. Go to window in left to pickup online order. Otherwise go to window on the right. Parking may be challenging though there is turnover as it is takeout only. Soak up the W&M warm fuzzies and snap a few selfies in front of their picturesque murals.

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!

OVERALL Kalihi Beer was a hit with me! The patrons were awesome, prices were comparable, service very friendly, beers were tasty but wished they had more variety, and the food options were very limited. This was also a family and pet-friendly (events on certain nights) place. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $145.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
