    First of all, the two ladies working the Carl's Jr, which is also a gas service station, do an amazing job. The food was sooo good. Fries were super fresh, tasty and crunchy as well as the burgers. It has been a while, since I ate at Carl's, but it was as good as I had remembered it. The only thing that was a pity was the fact that it is located within a small gas station and therefore only offers a few seats and no real toilet and no good convenient atmosphere. They would attract many more customers with a real location; there are so many Jack in the Box, Mickey D's or BKs on Oahu, but only this one Carl's Jr. Nevertheless, I would still get the food from Carl's and eat in the car, because of their food quality, which does not taste like fast food at all.

    Carl’s Jr. Is hands down my favorite fast food Burger. Has been for many many years and I always get the Western Burger with Onion Rings. A Beef Patty with American Cheese, Two Slices of Bacon, a tangy BBQ sauce and onion rings. I don’t get to eat it often so when my husband brought it home for Dinner last night i was very happy!! 😍 Unlike me, he tries different things on the menu but likes everything so far. I have never ever ever had a bad meal here. Not once. Too bad there is only one location here for Carl’s Jr. And its not even free standing. Its in a tiny gas station 😳 - but no complaints here. They function like Champs. Hope they are there forever. Lol. Its definitely LOVE ! ❤️ 07/22/2023 Carl Jr. Is still my #1 Burger cravings go to spot. Always a perfect meal. Delicious!!! Wish it was just down the street from me!

    Huge, delicious flame broiled burgers and chicken sandwiches. Also they have yummy fried zucchini and lots of other good stuff. I wish they'd open up more of these on the island. Restaurant quality at fast food prices.

    If you went to Carl's Jr. in the mainland and ate at one attached to a Flying J or any gas station, it tastes just like it. Best fast food burger for your buck. Really hope they end up expanding the location or buying an actual building.

    Haven’t had Carls in years, since being in Hawaii. This little place, tucked into the 76 gas station, absolutely did not disappoint!! Got a Super Star with cheese and jalapeños. 10/10. Tons of toppings and sauce, burgers were flame broiled and I could taste it. The staff here were super nice too. I will definitely be back.

    This Carl’s Jr location continues to deliver a great experience. Despite being in a gas station, this location outperforms all other fast food chains in the island. Food is always fresh, high quality, and the drinks are great. Kitchen staff and cashier are friendly and quick. I lived in this island for almost 5 years now, and have been to this location multiple times, and it never disappoints. This is absolutely my FAVORITE FAST FOOD CHAIN! Everything from the usual menu items to the limited-time items are always phenomenal. I just wish they had more Carl’s Jr all over the island or at least close to my home LOL! :) Definitely 5 stars—best fast food on the island, and BEST CARL’S JR in America! <3 My favorites: - Jalapeño Hand-breaded Chicken Sandwich - Fried Zucchini - Chicken Stars - Sweet Green Tea

  • 4/5 Jessica R. 3 years ago on Google
    Fresh fries and delicious burger but the sandwich was VERY messy to eat. Too much sauce on it otherwise delicious.

  • 5/5 William S. 3 years ago on Google
    Good burger and fries. They don't cook it until you order it, that makes it take a bit longer but it's worth it.

  • 1/5 Justin s. 3 years ago on Google

    No longer able to get burgers before 1030. Sort of stupid because breakfast burger is available but not regular burgers.

  • 5/5 Alessi S. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty curious and convenient location, really amazing food. Go for the breakfast burger :3

  • 4/5 Lyne E. 3 years ago on Google
    It was nice coming to Carl's Jr.! Tasty Double Angus Bacon. Ordered to go. Social distancing enough for 2 couples. I don't like enclosed environment right now not enough air circulation.

  • 5/5 John R. 3 years ago on Google
    The restaurant is shared with a gas station but it okay

  • 5/5 Scott K. 3 years ago on Google
    Only one on the island and it's part of a gas station, despite that the burgers taste about as good as the ones from the mainland, sadly no shakes, highly recommend if you miss Carl's Jr

  • 5/5 Zach R. 3 years ago on Google
    What can you say!!!! SUPER STAR!!!

  • 4/5 Addie A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Burgers.....and love that batter fried zucchini. The menu prices is fair and the service was quick. Would eat there again.

  • 5/5 Shannon W. 4 years ago on Google
    My favorite place for a hamburger. Best fastfood hamburger. Excellent cris-cut fries with boom boom sauce. They are busy, however wait isn't that long. It's worth it!

  • 5/5 Terryn B. 5 years ago on Google
    Chicken lo mein, egg flower soup, orange chicken, Mongolian beef and salt and pepper riblets were amazing! We will be back again! Thank you to Sabrina and her husband for cooking wonderful food!

  • 5/5 Lea H. 3 years ago on Google
    We love this place. It's our go-to, all the time. Stop in for lunch, or pick up take out for dinner, its always good. A nice family run neighborhood restaurant.

  • 5/5 Rhonda D. 3 years ago on Google
    We have been ordering from Chinese Garden since 2006.....love love this place. Never disappointed in anything we order & very extensive menu! Sooo many options 😁. You will not be disappointed 👍🏻

  • 3/5 Peter V. 3 years ago on Google
    The fried rice was good but other dishes left something to be desired.

  • 5/5 Nicole L. 4 years ago on Google
    This place has straight forward delicious food. Whenever I don't feel well this is comfort food for my soul. Very fresh. Generous portions and always friendly staff .Family owned local business is a plus too. Yum.

  • 5/5 Noah W. 3 years ago on Google
    Always nice and good food! Orange chicken, chicken fried rice, and spring rolls are 💯

  • 5/5 Kaydee G. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is just nostalgic. I've never seen it busy but it's been around for decades. I think most people just get takeout. When you get your food they will also give you tea. They leave the kettle on the table share.

  • 3/5 Cristy C. 3 years ago on Google
    There food is to oily

  • 5/5 Christian R. 4 years ago on Google
    It makes me sad that on a Friday night (7/12), at dinner time, this place was absolutely dead. We were the only people dining in at the time so we were of course immediately seated. The food is fantastic here! I came here with a party of 7, including some family from the mainland, and everyone was impressed with the food quality. The dishes that were fried were fried well so it was crisp but not oily, and everything else was seasoned well and flavorful. The Taro Duck and fried string beans is a must have if you're into that kind of thing! Many local Chinese restaurants add tons of MSG so you're incredibly thirsty afterwards; but not this place: which I really love. The Chinese women taking our order was very nice and attentive as well! They even brought us a complimentary dessert. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant on the Windward side! Chinese Garden has been here for a long time, and I hope business here picks up so they can continue to be here for a long time to come.

  • 5/5 Charlotte S. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious, fast delivery. Love their food.

  • 2/5 Samantha K. 3 years ago on Google
    Food wasn’t to good. You guys should put in your food description on what’s in it cause I ordered the general tso chicken not knowing their was pineapple in it. I’m allergic.

  • 5/5 M. F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food with quick service!

  • 3/5 Roxanne G. 4 years ago on Google
    The scallops were yummy! I love garlic so they were perfect for me.

  • 3/5 Stephen F. 4 years ago on Google
    Did not have any fortune cookies for starters. Then the general tso chicken had an interesting taste. It was overall ok but not in my top five.

  • 5/5 Collin D. 4 years ago on Google
    Best Chinese Take Out

  • 5/5 Malie H. 4 years ago on Google
    If you’re vegetarian, this is the place for you! Even if you’re not vegetarian and enjoy the flavors of a great Chinese restaurant, you’ll find the best flavors here! The best garlic tofu!!!

    Yes Chinese chicken salad ever. Best Jai ever!

  • 5/5 Kraig H. 5 years ago on Google
    Great food and authentic recipes make this a hidden gem! Affordable food with authentic (and some not so authentic) roots in southern China. Had a great conversation with the waitress who was very knowledgeable. I wouldn't be surprised if she was family of the ownership.

  • 3/5 Young Oh W. 6 years ago on Google
    ok~ish American style Chinese food. There really were no other options in Kailua area for Chinese restaurants.

  • 1/5 Hanna J. 6 years ago on Google
    My husband always finishes his food no matter what. He ordered the dinner plate and the rice was crunchy, and all the meat was “disgusting and way too chewy.” This was the first time he ever had to throw away food. My chow mein was bland but okay. We won’t be ordering here again.

  • 5/5 Bill M. 6 years ago on Google
    Had the orange chicken with steamed rice lunch special. It was outstanding.

  • 4/5 Raynell L. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been a fan of Carl's Jr before it came to Hawai'i and haven't been here for almost 15 Yrs but today I was in the area and remembered it was in that 76 gas station. Not what I remembered it from when it 1st opened there on nimitz and didn't realize that the menu was hanging over the cash register next to where you pay for gas station treats. Odd but the food was just as I remembered it... so satisfying...

  • 5/5 Catherine 2 years ago on Google
    Staff were very kind and patient! It is located in a gas station but it was clean and organized! Came here for nostalgia of those delicious burgers and was not disappointed! I was very pleased

  • 1/5 Quan N. 3 years ago on Google
    Edit on 02/05/2021: I ordered a Double original and a Double guacamole bacon thickburger. Got charged 23.23 for it but we only received a single patty on both burgers

  • 4/5 Marie L. 6 years ago on Google
    Love the burgers and it's the only one on island. It is combined with a gas station. Wait is usually between 10-15 mins for your food. The seating area fits about 10 people and no seating outside, unless you want to eat in your car or on the sidewalk. Left side of the cashier is for purchasing your food and the right side is for paying gas, and things you've selected from the store.

  • 5/5 Leslie-Ann C. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely LOVE their jalapeno poppers and their guacamole burgers... loved the look on my ex husband's face when I ordered them even more! It is hilarious how much he hates avacados... but a bit pricey. Worth it, but pricey. The fried zucchini is okay, very saltless and thus tasteless though. But you need to go into what is essentially a gas station you get to it so depending on the time the line and crowd might bug you.

  • 5/5 Carlos D. 2 years ago on Google
    It's only five stars because we have no other boutique fast food here on Oahu. The lettuce is real, the criss-cross 🍟are awesome, the southwest chicken sandwich is actually pretty healthy. The spicy chicken sandwich is the cheapest best one on island. The breakfast burrito options are great. And the jalapeño burgers are fresh and spicy. Anyhow, if you want fast food a notch up, please support the only CJ on island!

  • 5/5 Kawika M. 2 years ago on Google
    Only one that I know of-so when I'm in the area, I grab a western bacon cheese burger 🍔. If you didn't know they're inside of a gas station but they're quick it doesn't take too long

  • 5/5 Rika M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best burger I ever had worth the wait. Also props to the lady who took our order she was doing like 5 jobs at once. I don't know how she did it. Please build a store in pearl city so I can walk to you guys every week. :)

  • 5/5 Marco P. 2 years ago on Google
    I wish I had known that there is one here in Hawaii. I love their guacamole burger. I add jalapeños to it, and it's just how I have it in California. I was a bit confused because it's in a gas station building, but it's there in a corner happy findings.

  • 5/5 Blvck C. 1 year ago on Google
    Let me just start by saying, don't let this location fool you...yeah it may be inside a gas station in one of the more active parts of town but good god is it worth it. I haven't had CJs since I was in Houston a few years ago. This Carl's Jr. Keeps the quality and taste exactly on par with the mainland locations. Maybe moreso Every bite of this Double SuperStar I ordered was 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 the fries were hot. The soda was not flat or running out of syrup. The cashier was amazing. I can't say enough good about this meal. Got a little heavy handed with condiments but no worse than Jack in The box or BK. If you're looking for CJ while you're visiting or you just moved here, you're in luck...this is the best CJs location I've been to in years .... 10/10

  • 5/5 Colin W. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food. Been going there for years Superstar burgers and taco salad are the bomb. Not like other fast food chains where quality isn't a priority.

  • 4/5 Myron F. 1 year ago on Google
    That sourdough star burger taste like another one lol.

  • 5/5 John D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great burgers. Maybe the best fast food big chain burger on Oahu.

  • 1/5 In the Search For S. 1 year ago on Google
    This carls junior is in a gas station and the owners husband and wife are Super rude to people. They don’t have a full Carl’s Jr. menu they don’t have shakes that’s for sure!

  • 5/5 Vee C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a tiny Carl's Jr located inside a gas station. The service was lovely and the food came out fresh. The ladies working there were warm and welcoming.

  • 3/5 Theresa K. 1 year ago on Google
    The beyond burger char broiled was delicious but somewhat small and medium fries were small pieces . Don't really know if $13 is worth it.

  • 1/5 Jasmine B. 1 year ago on Google
    DISGUSTING ABSOLUTELY THE WORSE BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD. THE VOMIT THAT CAME UP TASTE BETTER. NEVER AGAIN

  • 5/5 Greg D. 1 year ago on Google
    You wouldn't guess a gas station had a Carl's Jr. inside but they do. This place is great for breakfast too. Great job guys.

  • 5/5 Mandy M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is inside a little gas station/ store but the employees are sweet and food was really good.

  • 4/5 Dillard S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Beyond burger was delicious. My advice is to place your order online. It can get a little crowded.

  • 5/5 Sabrina M. 7 months ago on Google
    Sadly they were out of zucchini fries so I got the onion rings instead! Great tasting burger! The only thing that I didn't care for was the music... too loud I definitely will be back again!

  • 5/5 Tad F. 8 months ago on Google
    Love Carl's Jr's Western Burger with a side of Waffle Fries! One of my absolute favorite burgers. Unfortunately, this location—inside a Circle K/76 Gas Station—does not seat guests anymore, I’m assuming post-pandemic. Still, a great place to grab a bite while filling gas! Love it!

  • 4/5 Eric G. 8 months ago on Google
    No drive-thru, only walk in. They converted a gas station convenience store into this, so it's kind of a weird setup. That said, the staff was very friendly, the food was prepared properly, and it had a very local feel. 4 stars only because of the drive-thru issue.

  • 1/5 Sophia De S. 8 months ago on Google
    I Love carl’s Junior it’s my favorite fast food on the entire island. So much so i go out of my way to get it. I went tonight, Friday night at 9:00 pm and it was closed. I wouldnt have gone out of my way to get my favorite fries and chicken tenders if i’d known it would be closed :( plz update the hours to be accurate

  • 2/5 David S. 10 months ago on Google
    Spent 24$ on a double guacamole bacon burger meal with a spare drink. Wasn’t allowed to wait inside for the order but yet can’t hear the auntie call out the stuff outside.(right next to highway) Waited for a good minute not to be a pain,after a mix up of my order, got back to the truck and the burger was soaked even the paper box was drenched.Bacon was close to flubber than cooked. Had to go back in and pay 1$ something for new bun. Auntie told me it’s been sitting here like it was my fault. I’ll find a better place to drop a 20 on a burger. Sometimes bomb, others terrible.
