KUAAINAKATASEENOSHIMA

This is a great pit stop to visit before or after trekking to Enoshima Island! The restaurant has outdoor seating overlooking the water and the food is delicious. It’s a bit expensive, but we’ll worth it!

I have eaten at 4 different Kua Aina restaurants in Japan and at the original one located in Haleiwa, Oahu. The best one is located inside the Maru Building in Marunouchi, Tokyo, where I must have spent at least 40 visits since I was working nearby. Approximately 12:30 PM, February 11th (national ...holiday) the Katase Enoshima Kua Aina restaurant was packed with people waiting in line despite the pandemic. No social distancing between tables nor any transparent plastic shields, so we left and returned about 2:30 PM. The restaurant was about half empty, so my friend and I secured a table furthest from others. I ordered a 1/2 pounder avocado plus bacon hamburger set. The burgers arrived within 10 minutes, and I was so disappointed. The french fries were limp and not crispy. When I bit into the burger, the bacon was so thin and barely cooked that it reminded me of McDonald's. Furthermore, the hamburger meat was thin and overcooked, and I noticed that is was not a 1/2 pounder. After the staff looked at the burger meat, he related that it was a 1/3 pounder and said that it will take 15 to 20 minutes for a 1/2 pounder, so I replied that it would take too long, so he returned 210 yen. Incidentally, this was my 4th time eating at Katase Enoshima Kua Aina and will be my last time. My first and second visits were cash only with thin bacons and limped french fries, the third visit - the razor thin bacon and limped fries. There is something very different about this Kua Aina - it's like a glorified McDonald's with a fictitious ambience resembling Hawaii. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME - I AM A HAMBURGER LOVER AND CONNOISSEUR!!!

The cheeseburger I ordered couldn’t be better and the atmosphere is great. I’ll definitely go back if I can.

Often call in here for a burger after a diving or walking trip on the Miura Peninsula. You can build your own burger from the options on the menu, with up to 5 toppings, choices of bread, cheese and condiments. You can specify how well you want them cooked, and they taste great. Some tasty salads on... the menu too which represent good value. A reasonable selection of drinks, with some Honolulu specialities, but only a couple of desserts. Car parking is a little awkward, you have to use a convenience store about 50m up the road, so probaby easier to walk there, and build up an appetite.
