50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Honolulu

“Amazing little food truck, I would dare to say the best meal I had taking into account how much you pay and what you get. Nice little spot with shared tables, and more food trucks if you feeling like something else. The shrimps are huge and very fresh, the attention is very very good as well, basically, nothing else to ask for.“

“Fresh made to order Masubi“

“Wonderful and inviting hole in the wall! Service is fast and the food is even better! You can sit or just as easily take it to go. The Jun is to die for. If you’re craving some homestyle deliciousness Korean food you absolutely must come here ❣️“

“Delicious!!! This was a life saver before my families evening flight. Just the right amount of food and it stayed nice and warm while on the plane. Great dinner and I will be back!“

“I would eat here everyday if it were practical. The best spot on the island. Quality is top notch, that of a five star diner. Portions are always large and everything made fresh. Family run business, always kind and always gracious. Love this place. You can’t go wrong.“

“Another Hidden Gem here in Kalihi at K&M Drive Inn in Kalihi next to Alicia’s Market.

They just recently opened, but they are slowly gaining many followers. The Oxtail Soup is loaded with 4 nice-sized Oxtails and for the $15.95 price you can’t go wrong. Love the strong presence of Star Anise and love the Veggies and Mushrooms throughout the Soup. It comes with freshly grated ginger as well.

The Fried Chicken Plate which came with 7 pieces of Chicken Wings with Rice and Mac Salad for $10.95. It was good at a reasonable price.

They do Take Out or Dine in. Love the vibe here and the service was very pleasant.

The only negative on this place is not the place itself but the limited parking situation.

Give this hidden gem a try.
Support Local Businesses.“

“The quality is the best, one of the best milkshakes I tried ever my wife said. It's not the perfect service because you have to wait more than usual even when it is almost empty... But people were just kind enough. The perfect plan is just enjoy your milkshake sitting on the tables outside and admiring the beautiful views and architecture alongside the street.“

“It's cheap anyway!
I'm happy to be able to eat pizza,
It's convenient because you can come from the beach in your swimsuit and eat.
Anyone can pass from the beach, even if they are not military personnel.
You can use the store.“

“A burger from the heart . Blue cheese and the Teriyaki burger were awesome… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My first Raising Cane’s experience was when I was with Kuuipo. She was so excited to let me know that there were chicken tenders! Last time, it was their way of saying hello and welcoming me. I thought the food was really tasty at first because she validated the touch from when I looked. Sounds like a great food to order for take out. I’m taking my time thanking her all the way through.“

“Chicken is very crispy ,light, not too oily and sauce is not strong special taste. So I think this store chicken is veey healthy soul food!“

“I dream of their garlic chicken. It’s my first and last stop when I visit. I just can’t figure out how they make it!“

“the food and customer service was amazing“

“(West Monroe Louisiana Location) Three little bitty chicken fingers and eight fries what a joke ..I will definitely eat across the street from now on Im not gonna pay to go hungry...“

“Just Great Chicken and the sauce ain’t bad either. GEAUX GET CHA SOME“

“Great food and a big variety“

“Some people rate this restaurant like it's Roys. Me and my Mom love this place and love the customer service. 💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙“

“It was great customer service and the food was delicious!!“

“Love Zippy’s every time I visit I always stop at Zippy’s before I head anywhere else and I always order Korean chicken with extra Mac my favorite.“

“It’s all about the flavor 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🎯💯‼️“

“My daughters and I went to have breakfast and when it was time to leave my car would not start. The manager, Howie came out and was so kind and compassionate as he saw that I was having a melt down unsure what to do being a single mom. Howie then kindly asked if he could take a look and knew what exactly to do, jumping my car and calmly explained to me what to do and that everything would be okay. It was so nice of him to help me and my kids in this moment, it’s rare that people will go out of their way to help strangers now days. Not only was the food and customer service exceptional but everything about this location is pure genuine and excellent! I would definitely make the drive here from Ewa just because of the overall service and care Howie and his team provided!!!“

“These burgers were pretty tasty. I actually ended up just getting the Keiki meal with the cheeseburger, which was still pretty flavorful. My husband ordered the Hawaiian Kai, which he liked a lot. The employees were helpful and kind. It took about 10 minutes to get our food which was expected given the type of food they were preparing. We were there around lunch time so the dining room was a little busy, but we were still able to find a table to sit at. The drinks are self-serve with refills as long as you are dining in. There is no public bathroom.“

“Something about these piroshki is so good. I really enjoy the beef and mushroom and the chicken with mushroom.

Prices are still very reasonable as well.

Tip- Always call before you head down. I've dropped by a few times when they were supposed to be open per their sign but they were closed.“

“It’s a hole in the wall, total hidden gem. Food was fresh and hot, service was quick and friendly and wasn’t too expensive either. I got the garlic shrimp, it’s got a nice spice and they’re cleaned well so you can eat without peeling and not worry about cleaning the back.
I’ll be returning frequently I think.“

“I'm from Philly. A hoagie shop should smell like a hoagie shop. Jersey Mike's is the real deal. Used to go to 1in Columbus Ohio. Looking forward to the 1 opening on S. King St. in Honolulu.“

“After seeing other reviews we checked it out. They had the vegan breakfast burrito (sold all day) and they had some fruit bowls but when I asked about the chickpea sandwich and the other items I’d seen in pictures they said they’d changed their menu. But great breakfast burrito.“

“The Food says it all. You gotta get the B&B plate...YUMMY!👅“

“They’re open until 01:30 AM now and thank goodness, because we skipped dinner to go fishing. Their fried chicken is crispy, succulent, and well-seasoned with a nice kick to it. If you’re a fan of the spicy chicken at Jollibee, this is the leveled-up sister. And their mala tang soup…drool worthy. I love spicy soup but they were sold out of spicy beef, so they offered to make their original beef spicy for me. You can adjust the spice level and I asked for mine to be “spicy spicy”, and they didn’t disappoint! There was a nice dose of chili oil and garlicky mala heat, but not so much that it drowned out the flavors. The broth itself has a rich, nutty flavor, reminding me of a wilder version of tan tan ramen. They use saimin noodles and top it with fish balls, meat balls, thinly sliced meat, sliced potatoes, and quail eggs. I didn’t get any pictures this time because I couldn’t resist inhaling my meal, but I’ll be back for sure!“

“Need to sell maybe as a side, cranberry sauce--jellied or the berry version.“

“At Zippy’s Makiki, the dining experience often stands out for its warm, local charm, but our recent visit was elevated to an entirely new level thanks to Chingky, an exceptional server who left an indelible impression on our group. From the moment we walked in, Chingky’s genuine smile and welcoming demeanor immediately made us feel at ease, as if we were being greeted by an old friend.

Unlike the forced pleasantries you might encounter elsewhere, Chingky’s warmth felt completely authentic. She struck the perfect balance of professionalism and kindness, engaging with us in a way that was both sweet and respectful. It was clear she cared about making our experience memorable, taking time to ensure every detail of our visit was seamless.

What truly set Chingky apart was her work ethic. She was attentive without being intrusive, anticipating our needs before we even realized them. Drinks were refilled promptly, and our food was served with efficiency that was as impressive as her kindhearted nature. Even while the restaurant buzzed with activity, she moved with a calm yet fast-paced energy, demonstrating her ability to handle pressure without losing her friendly composure.

Throughout the meal, Chingky remained engaging, exchanging light conversation and making sure we were comfortable. Her sweet personality shone through in every interaction, leaving us not only satisfied with the food but also uplifted by her incredible service. She had an uncanny ability to make each guest feel valued, which is a rare and admirable trait in the restaurant industry.

Chingky exemplifies what outstanding service should be—thoughtful, efficient, and full of heart. Zippy’s Makiki is lucky to have her, and we can’t wait to return for another visit, knowing that a smiling face and unparalleled service await.“

“I think they work great as a team and their people persons“

“Our group had a craving for pizza and we stumbled on Lewers. The person working the storefront accommodated our half/half all meat/pepperoni pizza and it was ready in about 25-30 minutes. The crust was floppy but the cheese and toppings were flavorful and not too greasy/oily. It was a pleasant find.“

“I recently checked out Vicky's Filipino Fast Food in Downtown and I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. They had a ton of variety, from classic dishes like adobo to my all-time favorite, Laing. The aunties behind the counter were super friendly and made me feel right at home. The food was legit and tasted like the real deal, bringing back memories of my childhood in the Philippines. Shoutout to the Laing, it was on point and reminded me of the times my family and relatives would bring back some frozen Laing from their trips back home. Plus, the prices are more than fair for the delicious choices they have. I definitely recommend Vicky's especially if you work in downtown looking for some tasty Filipino grub.Vicky's Filipino Fast Food is located in the heart of downtown on Fort Street Mall, surrounded by other great dining options. The interior is modest, with a few tables for diners. You have the option to choose a 1, 2, or even 3-item plate with either rice or Pancit as your starch. The choices are on the counter in front of you. I appreciated the flexibility and variety that Vicky's offered. Overall, I had a great experience at Vicky's and I'm already planning my next visit!“

“Delicious!!! This was a life saver before my families evening flight. Just the right amount of food and it stayed nice and warm while on the plane. Great dinner and I will be back!“

“I Love 💙 Jack in the box.“

“Located within the Maunakea food court. The food court, itself, is rather sad and decrepit looking.

I ordered a Lao papaya salad and Lao sausage with the very nice owner. She asked me for my spice level and I replied “the authentic way you eat it.” The salad itself was definitely spicy and I enjoyed every bite. Only criticism would be I wished the papaya was crunchier. I also like peanuts in my papaya salad but there were none in this version, I don’t know if the Lao version contains peanuts. The sausage was meaty and tasty.

I’d return to try their other authentic Lao dishes.“

“Server was great working alone… wish they would hires more help, I saw couple of families in lined and left when service was slow. My wife and I visiting the island and this place was our hang out, busy then and still popular with the locals.“

“Filipino food at its finest in the heart of downtown Honolulu. Clean facility and friendly service. Don't be late 'cause by 5pm, they already have few recipes to offer. So whatever they have left is all you get. If you're craving for dessert, they also have the famous halo-halo. If you're not watching your diet, you can never go wrong for this place's delicious food. Try it, to believe it.“

“The food was good and it was quick! Minimal wait time and good portions.“

“Grateful for Ryan best drive through cashier there was definitely lots of employees here working hard with a great attitude Ryan was working drive-thru and definitely giving 100% Taco Bell always tastes the same but the employees make the difference Mahalo I am never leaving Paradise so many loving people on the island“

“Neat McDonald's! Unique decor. Good food in McDonald's fashion.“

“My kids and I really love the french fries...😋😋😋 freshly cooked and available anytime👍👍👍👍“

“I really like the Chow fun they make, but sometimes I get the noodles instead. I come for the Kung Pao Chicken because it's honestly the best one I've tasted.

Vegetarian options: Mixed Stir Fried Greens, Eggplant Tofu, Fried Rice“

“Good $$ and the burger was good“

“The Steak Burritos are the best. I crave them. I just wished I worked nearby. If I worked near Fort Street Mall I would go here everyday. One day I'll stop by after work and get me some food.“

“Ngl. Jollibee have good, tender, juicy chicken. This filipino fast food chain is very popular and in my opinion better than chick-fil-a. Fries on the other hand...decent maybe comparable to McDonald's. I got the bacon and cheese chicken sandwich combo with 3 pcs chicken tenders ala carte. $20-ish for all is slightly expensive.

No comment on service. Staff was helpful, friendly, nice, and patience with me.

Location of the restaurant, near the entrance/exit makes it tough with people walking by and around you. It's good they identify the order line and waiting line...“
