    $1 sausage McMuffin w/ egg 3/2/25
    Jo Y.

    Yes, there's a McDonald's about 1 1/2 miles from my home. And no, while it's close by, I don't go often, knowing that eating its food all the time is not nutritional. But once in a while is okay. McDonalds was founded in 1940 in San Bernardino, CA and has more than 50,000 restaurant locations worldwide. The first McDonalds in HI opened in Aina Haina in 1968. The McDonald's in HI Kai opened in 1969 and is one of 72 locations in HI. It sells hamburgers, chicken, French fries, soft drinks, shakes, breakfast items, and desserts. It also sells items on a regional basis, with menu items only in HI: * Rice. Due to a large Asian community, its influence on rice makes it available during breakfast. * Breakfast meats. Spam and Portuguese sausage (Pacific Sausage is the local vendor) are popular in HI and are served with rice in its breakfast platter. * Fresh apple pie. All McDonald's on the Mainland have converted from frying to baking their pies. But because of local influence, the pies continue to be fried in HI. * Haupia pie. The pie contains a creamy, smooth pudding-like filling of coconut and is fried. * Rotating items. Taro pie (purple in color and similar to sweet potato), McTeri Deluxe (teriyaki burger). I normally enjoy the fish filet sandwich and the sausage McMuffin without egg. On occasion, there are promotions, e.g., 50 cents double cheeseburger on National Cheeseburger Day, free large fries on National French Fry Day, BOGO, and I'm game on these! And every so often, I will indulge in a quarter pounder, chicken McNuggets, chicken sandwich, and fries and also take the grandkids to get a Happy Meal. The food is reliable, and prices are reasonable despite that there is no food production in HI, there is an additional shipping cost to bring in the food from the Mainland. As with all fast-food restaurants since Covid, the McDonald's in HI Kai has and is still in short supply of workers. Workers may not be fully trained, as they have not been employed long enough. As a result, orders may not be made correctly, and wait for orders may be slow. Orders should be checked to see that everything's there; if not, it should be brought to the attention of the manager. The manager and a few long-time employees, who are normally older in age, are there to address issues. One of these long-time employees crafts these beautiful floral arrangements for holiday displays in the restaurant. I've seen them for Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, graduation, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. In addition to a floral arrangement, each holiday has its own enhancements, e.g., graduation will have photos of employee graduates, and Halloween has varying colors of smiling pumpkins. The displays are placed throughout the interior of the store, so if you dine-in or walk in to order, you'll see them. You won't see them if you use the drive thru. You don't normally see displays of this kind at the other McDonald's. I also love that McDonald's gives back to the community via its non-profit organization, Ronald McDonald House Charities. A percentage of the restaurant's sales go to this organization which funds the Ronald McDonald House, a place where families with seriously ill children can stay. It also funds the Ronald McDonald's Family Rooms that are in hospitals where families can rest and relax. The restaurant interior is bright and clean. It's a popular spot for retirees and students for dining in just for leisure, for short one-to-one meetings, eating meals, or doing school work on your laptop. There's no rush to leave, as you can stay at your table until you're ready to leave. Hours of operation are daily from 5a to 11p. McDonald's is located in the HI Kai Shopping Center with Safeway and CVS Longs Drugs. As McDonald's is located near the entrance, there is sometimes a backup of cars going using the drive-thru lane; just use the next lane on the left to either drive straight or right turn around these cars. Lots of available parking in this shopping complex that is shared with other businesses. Knowing what I'm getting, reasonable prices, a celebratory ambiance, its charitable intent, and close to home make this a pleasant McDonald's that I don't mind going to

    YAY, McDonald's Teri burger is back.......my favorite, messy, but oh so good. Wonderful hamburger slathered with teriyaki sauce, a tomato, lettuce with fries and iced tea. The drive thru was fast since I ordered with the app ahead of time. Take out is the best, we come home and eat and watch TV....the bestest ambiance ever. Will go again very soon.

    I thought everyone loves McDonalds! It's surprising to see EVERY SINGLE McDonalds rated 3 stars (only 2) and lower. Did everything go downhill when McDonalds got rid of their PlayPlace? What happened to Grimace and the Hamburgler?? More concerning, where is RONALD?? It's obvious McDonalds moved away from kids and focused on adults, which I don't believe worked very well. Let kids have fun! Not whatever the heck some kids are doing now. This McDonalds is the quintessential of focusing on adults--making it more like a cafe. It's located in the Hawaii Kai Shopping Center. There's plenty of parking and a drive thru with two ordering stations. It gets pretty backed up while the inside is essentially empty. The inside was very clean and spacious. Cashier was friendly and pleasant. The food was as good as McDonalds can be. Many people complain about getting the wrong items. Can check before you go, right? Happened to me before. Just go back and they'll kindly give you the right items, and on some instances they even know they got it wrong and give you extra! Overall an excellent McDonalds. Clean, solid staff. With the Happy Meal for adults. There's plenty of space to bring back the PlayPlaces....for adults! :p

    I love this place because it's ambience is really warm and welcoming. They have a wall acknowledging ALL public high school graduates at graduation season & they had a little table reserved for a decor of MOTHERS DAY with flowers in a vase, a balloon & pillows. SO CUTE! Didnt take a photo tho! Ugh! Also, their food is fresh. So far all orders that were ordered took a while to make because they were constantly cooking from the long line they had. So everyone's food was fresh. Their drive thru is super busy tho. Oh and restrooms are available here! So anyone who needs a quick bathroom stop, HERE'S YOUR PLACE! Only thing is... place is a bit small AND prices seem a bit more than I expected. Unless that's how long I haven't ate at McDonalds. But, overall... This was a great place. Thanks!

    I ain't gonna lie to you folks......I'm not much of a fan of McDonald's hamburgers, but if ya wanna talk about McDonald's breakfast, or their ice cream cones? Let's talk!!!! McDonald's in da 808 is unique, as it has some very unique menu items that you can only get in da 808 like a Local Deluxe Platter - which consist of Portuguese Sausage, Scramble Eggs, Spam - or can we say ("Da Hawaiian Steak"), & of course some white rice!!! A hearty breakfast meal that is so satisfying! Eat that everyday, and you'll pay for it later when you gotta pull your blood & visit your doctor later! Lol! All kiddin' aside, McDonald's breakfast is da BESTEST!!! Other items that you can only find at McD's are like our - Taro Pie, Haupia (coconut pudding) Pie, Fruit Punch, Apple Pies that are deep fried (not baked), and recently McD's stopped selling their onolishes Saimin. This particular McDonald's restaurant is located in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood, at the Hawaii Kai Shopping Center. A nice clean restaurant, and because of the nicer area, you will see waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less rift raft hangin' out at this restaurant. My recent adventures here were not for breakfast, but for a nice cold ice cream cone. The cone served at McD's kinda reminds me of Dairy Queen which brings very fond memories as a kid. My only wish is that McD's brings back the Chocolate Dipped Cone, as it's one of my all time favorites.

    Lunch with extra lettuce and extra Mc Sauce

    My lunch stops on the weekends for lunch breaks. Clean store friendly workers and very happy. Good job workers.

    Walks ups allowed

    Almost hit two people in the drive thru since I guess they allow walk ups now told the lady it was stupid idea to be taking their order since you can't really see someone standing right by the window but she didn't care so seems like the do it all the time even knowing there was a car coming since she just took my order. To top it off the got my order wrong as usual

    Haupia pie - so good!
    Stacy S.

    I don't think I've ever given 5 stars to a McDonald's, but there's a first time for everything! I love this McDonald's because they are super fast and there is rarely ever a long line at the drive through! I went there 3 times during my most recent trip, and ordered the same thing - the Portuguese sausage, eggs & rice platter for $5.49. They are super generous with their portions! I also tried their Haupia pie, and that was warm and delicious! Customer service is also friendly and speedy! This location should be the model for all McDonald's!

At the time, he stated that him and his partner were in a competition to see how many triples they could sell, but figured I'd keep that in the back of my mind for our next visit. We came here on a recommendation from my boyfriend's coworker and I'm glad we came! The burgers and fries were made fresh. There are only a hand full of tables inside and a small bar area, but there is also outdoor seating outside, too! A neat fact is that there were pictures posted from when the shop first opened up and to see They Daley as a fixture in Chinatown is amazing since they've stuck around and adapted to the development around. The burger was delicious, too. They have an aioli sauce that was good with diced up pickles. Usually I request no pickles but the small bursts really added to the texture and feel of the burger overall. 10/10 would come again!

    I came in ready to experience a life-changing Wagyu burger... the kind that makes you question…read moreevery burger you've ever eaten. Instead, I had a really good burger. I ordered the Wagyu Deluxe Burger, and don't get me wrong--it was juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a soft, slightly sweet bun that tied everything together nicely. It was delicious! But if you blindfolded me, I don't know if I could confidently tell you it was Wagyu. It tasted very similar to a really good smash burger, so unless you're trying to impress your taste buds (or your wallet), I'd probably just order the original smash burger next time. One thing to keep in mind: there was only one guy running the whole operation when I visited. He was taking orders, cooking, and doing everything short of cloning himself. So if the place gets busy, expect a little wait. Honestly, respect to him for keeping it all together. Parking is a bit of a treasure hunt since there are only a few stalls. I got lucky and snagged the last spot, but street parking may be your backup plan. The inside was clean, spacious, and a comfortable place to enjoy your meal. Overall, I'd definitely come back--next time I'll save a few bucks, grab the original smash burger, and let the lone burger superhero work his magic.

I arrived…read morearound 1:35 PM and was told I was a little early, but that the host would let the kitchen know I had arrived. Along with two other people waiting for takeout, there were also about five parties dining in still waiting for their food. I ended up receiving my order at 1:57 PM. For a single burger, that felt like a pretty long wait -- especially after already waiting inside the restaurant for around 20 minutes with no updates. If an order is given a pickup time, it should ideally be ready or close to ready by then. That was definitely the biggest downside of the experience. The burger itself was good, though not quite worth the 40-45 minute wait overall. I ordered the Umami Wagyu Cheeseburger. It had good flavor, but it was pretty messy, and honestly, I couldn't really tell much of a difference from regular beef. I'm not sure the "wagyu" aspect added much for me personally. I'm usually a very patient person, but this experience left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. I can only imagine how long the dine-in customers were waiting. I'm glad I had the chance to try it, but I'm not sure if I'd come back.

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!
