    BBQ Bacon Burger
    Sonia G.

    The burgers were decent for food court fair. We each had a BBQ bacon burger and veggie burger. They gave out way too many steak fries but otherwise it was tasty and hit the right note. We ate in the food court area so nothing to speak of in terms of ambiance here. Several birds were walking around which I suggest you do not feed. Service was okay except it took them a while to ask for our order while we were waiting at the counter despite no one else in line. There only appeared to be 3 people working at this location.

    Service

    They will not give a cup of ice water, even to customers who buy a burger and beer. Suggested I ask at one of the other places in the food court.

    Pineapple Teriyaki Burger

    If you know me and my wife, you know we're pineapple people. Not just "pineapple on pizza" people -- full-on pineapple on everything people. Burgers included. Back home, our only real options are Habit or Red Robin, so when I saw Mahaloha Burger was just a 5-minute walk away and had pineapple burgers on the menu, it was game over. I ordered three. One for my wife. Two for me. Don't judge -- vacation rules apply. The burgers were hot, fresh, and made to order. Flavor was on point, the pineapple was juicy and sweet, and it hit that salty-sweet combo just right. The only thing missing? Volume. I'm talking about pineapple ratio. I don't want a single polite slice. I want the same enthusiasm they have when they stack red onions. I'm starting a petition: "Equal Rights for Pineapple Toppings." Overall, solid spot, quick service, and definitely my go-to when the pineapple craving strikes in Waikīkī. Until then, I'll keep dreaming of that mythical triple-pineapple stack.

    The burgers are delicious! I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger at the Waikiki food court location a few weeks ago and looking at the pic I want another one! Their fries are also very good too. They should make a sit down restaurant the prices are a tad high but the quality is awesome. Cashier was nice and food came out quickly. Would definitely go back

    It's a short walk from Sheraton Hotel and it's located at the Royal Hawaiian Center Food Court. Order up and you will be given that buzzer thing when your order is ready. Ordered were BBQ Bacon and Mushroom Swiss Burger. It was tasty, oily, artery clogging with a side of crips fries....it was good!!!

    Garlic Fries

    Only had the garlic fries. Nicely seasoned & soft. Definitely satisfied me & my wife's garlic fries cravings!

    Do they serve turkey burgers?

    Where is a good place to park?

    Park in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping center. Since Mahaloha is in the shopping center, they'll validate parking for you. There's quite a bit of stalls available and it's pretty secure.

I know what you're thinking, grilled cheese ? Seriously ? Out of the food in Hawaii this is one thing you choose to try for dinner ? And I would say yes every time. This grilled cheese has a special place in my food palette. I have not found another grilled cheese anywhere else in all the places I have been at that replicates this delicious flavor and taste. It was so good that I end up coming back for 4 days straight my stay in Hawaii ! I had the following below: *PATTY - 5/5 - It is the best grilled cheese I have ever had in my life ! It has a nice tasty beef patty, 4 cheeses (Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone, American) Caramelized onions, Bacon and Aioli sauce ! It was boasting with flavor ! Bread was soft, cheeses were boasting with flavor, aioli sauce was amazing. I really wish i paired this with their tomato dip ! I can only imagine how much this would've complimented the grilled cheese. The service was exceptional ! The establishment is a small so be sure to eat this on the go or they have small tables set up if you'd like to eat there !

We ordered the Aloha…read moresandwich and a classic grilled cheese with jalapeños and onions, and both were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches came out quickly, were perfectly toasted, and had so much gooey, melted cheese. All of the toppings worked really well together and made every bite flavorful. Another big plus is that this was one of the few places open late at night, which made it a great option after a long day. The only downside was that it was a little difficult to find an open table since there's limited seating. Other than that, I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it!

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!

I didn't expect much from this small corner diner, but everything turned out real solid! The exterior is especially entrancing, with its bright, rainbow neon sign that glows out the darkness of the night! The hooded interior was clean and followed well with the rainbow theme, especially with its rainbow pastel, title wallpaper. I would also like to compliment the workers, who were very nice and approachable! We ordered the loco moco plate, mixed plate, and saimin. Both plates were very filling and came in huge portions! The plates are for sure a top choice if you want a nice, hearty dinner! I especially enjoyed my loco moco! The saimin was less filling and came in an instant noodle cup. Still yet, it wasn't half bad--and it actually seems like a fairly good piece if you are on a diet or budget; it wasn't as expensive as the other dishes and only came out as 220 calories! I also want to note that they have a variety of tasty dessert pastries and icee treats if you are looking for a treat after your dinner. Overall, I would say this is a great diner to try if you've got a big appetite and are looking for something to share with a friend or family! Great vibes and great Hawaiian plate meals!

And we just can't go here anymore unless changes are made! We used to prefer them over Zippy's, but now they are less than 7-Eleven quality, while charging higher-end prices for the neighborhood. We have given them many chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but we have repeatedly been disappointed. Their chicken has become chewy and fatty, their rice is mediocre, and condiments such as mayonnaise are stripped down to the bare minimum quantity. Chile is poured so lightly that it is practically a minuscule amount. And their prices have continued to rise. I don't know if greedy people took over the restaurant who just don't care anymore, or what is going on. I remember when I used to take people here, and they would be impressed with the quality and quantity--plates just heaping with good cuts of meat, noodles, and rice. Those days are no more. As they say in Japan, the price performance is poor. Furthermore, their staff is rude. I can only imagine it was an owner working this day because it was a face I haven't seen that often. An older gentleman who appeared to be of Okinawan descent, working the cashier register, accosted us because I was privately discussing with my family about splitting different items with them. We were all ordering something, so he wasn't losing any money, but he told us about how prices are double in Waikīkī. First of all, it is rude to interrupt your customers that way. Secondly, we don't go to Waikīkī or care about Waikīkī. What happened to serving the locals? Third, Waikīkī has an assortment of restaurants, prices, and qualities, and they shouldn't be how you base your services. Lastly, I guarantee I could find a better deal in Waikīkī if I wanted to. Next time you're in the area, just go get a $6 bento or a $5 burrito from 7-Eleven next door. I assure you, the price performance and experience will be better. If Rainbow Drive-In is in the business of comparing themselves to other things, let's compare them to 7-Eleven and at least try to be better than them, right? I can get mochiko chicken from 7-Eleven for $6.99 that is similar in portion size and better quality. Meanwhile, they are serving their fatty, dry chicken for $16.75. Highway robbery! And they are not fancy, with their dirty picnic tables and plastic cutlery. They are just a step above a food truck, if that. Save yourself from the hype. They have gone downhill like a landslide. Go elsewhere.

It moves steadily though, and it is worth it. Inside is tiny, just one small table, so this is really an order and go kind of place rather than somewhere to sit and eat. They have every musubi combination you could think of, unagi, avocado, cucumber, egg, bacon, ume, tofu skin, shrimp, you name it. I got the tuna mayo onigiri and wished they had packed in a little more tuna filling, but it was still tasty. I also tried the cucumber spam musubi, which was really good too. We came as a group of seven and everyone ordered something different, and everyone loved every bite. My tip: get at least two musubis per person. A few people in our group got four each and had zero regrets. One thing to know ahead of time is parking. It is street parking only and pretty limited, so plan for that if you are driving. Overall such an easy, yummy stop and a great local experience in Waikiki.

We decided to come back the next day and order the "Double Tuna," thinking it would actually have double the tuna. Instead, it seemed like the same small amount of tuna with double the rice! We ordered around eight of them, so it was especially disappointing to find that they were mostly rice. The portions just don't feel balanced. If someone pays extra for "Double Tuna," they're expecting more tuna, NOT extra rice. Unfortunately, it felt like they were really skimping on the filling, and the quality didn't live up to the hype for us.
