Creating premium burgers with Hawaii and tropical flavours as our inspiration.
I am a burger snob. Even though I'll eat a dirty (fast food) burger when the situation calls for it, there is absolutely nothing like a succulent burger made with the best quality ingredients and a flavour profile that makes you glad to be alive. This is that burger! Do yourself a favour and get one. You won't regret it, unless you have a problem eating the most delicious, well-crafted burger in all the land!?! :-)))
The Maui - frickin delicious!! Go there hungry, you won’t be disappointed. Service was attentive but not overbearing and you can tell they care about your experience. The poke bowl flavours and their menu in general, are impeccably curated.
Excellent! You can tell there has been a ton of careful planning involved in the creation of the menu, along with a very thoughtful execution, from the composition of the burgers themselves, to the way they're wrapped to make eating these massive burgs nearly mess free. Super impressive. We had "The Big Kahuna," and "The Oahu." Best burgers we've had in a while... Since I can remember, actually. The house drinks were really nice too. Can't wait to come back to try one of the other options.
Kahuna burger came highly recommended by a few friends on the island so we stopped by while we were in Duncan for dinner. And did they ever live up to the recommendations. First, the service was incredible. Both owners were so sweet and clearly very passionate about their food. The burgers though, next level. Truly the best burgers we’ve ever had. Big, juicy and quality ingredients. Incredible for the price. They also have a special type of packaging so you can have a saucy and messy burger without getting it on your clothes. The packaging creates a pocket for your burger and allows you to keep all the toppings inside. We had the mahi fish burger and the Kahuna burger with a pork add on. The only downside is we are from Vancouver and we will have to take a ferry to get the best burger in BC again. You won’t be disappointed if you visit. It’s a must!
One of the best burgers I've ever had. Get the humuhumu burger with delicious chunks of mahi mahi and a slice of grilled pineapple. Was walking by on our way here and someone outside was raving about it! She drives down from Nanaimo, I wish Vancouver was closer!!!
Looking for protein? Have you TRIED THESE BURGERS?! The burger alone is a meal, nevermind the sides you can order. My friend weight lifts and basically died while trying their burgers. I prefer the Mai Thai with DOLE WHIP. Heavenly. They support local vendors like spinnaker’s drinks and sodas. Have I mentioned the cheesecake? I just got two pieces to go because I’m too full from the burger to eat right now. I might share with my husband.
Perfect burgers!!!! We ordered big island, big kahuna, Oahu 20, the burger came with chunky ground beef, and pork, chicken, but it wasn’t overly greasy, which is prefect!!! Definitely visit again if I come back to Vic.
This was the first time visiting, I wanted something unique, and after scanning the menu and talking to the staff, I decided on the Oahu burger. It did not disappoint. I was skeptical of the ramen noodle buns, but they turned out delicious. It's a heavy burger though. The teriyaki beef patty is juicy and cooked perfect, the pineapple and ginger work well together making this a sweet and savory paradise in your mouth. Using the wrapper for containment is a must for these burgers, otherwise it will be a sloppy slip n slide. Highly recommend. I also got both the slaw and macaroni salad. The mac salad was pretty traditional, but had a unique sweetness that really shined. The papaya cole slaw was great, but very tangy, take small bites or that vinegar will punch you in the brain. For dessert, I tried the passion fruit cheesecake, a rich traditional cheesecake with a graham crust and fruit topping, very good. The service was great, friendly and helpful, the restaurant was clean. Pretty limited seating indoors, so keep that in mind if you have a crowd, might be better on a sunny day to sit outside of available. Next time I'm in town I'm definitely coming back.
The best burger place in Duncan, and one of the best on the island. Very unique and interesting menu, the desserts are also amazing. I love the passionfruit cheesecake, delicious! I am a regular here and I am so happy they exist. Also, top notch no nonsense service and it is always amazing how fast my order is prepared.
Very well made and tasty burgers
Dined in and the staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our food. Food was amazing!
The food and service is amazing!
So yummy ! A must try. The Maui Burger. Recommended dishes Pie, The Kahuna Burger
One of the best burgers(kahuna) I have had in the 4 years I have lived on the Island!
Amazing, not just a burger, an experience!
Delicious burgers I will definitely stop in again
This is the best burger I ve had within memories reach.
Closed earlier than posted on line. Very disappointing.
Good
Delicious burger. Pricey at $19-20 for a burger with no sides, but no regrets
Interesting tastes
The burger was good and it was freshly made. Not many side options to go with the burgers. The slaw that I got with my burger was ok but not great.
I m from vancouver and am a BIG burger lover. Was in town for work. There are a lot of great options on the menu wish I could try them all. I had the hawaiian ice tea and punch. Pairing with the Kahuna burger as well. Great burg! Home made patty, and this amazing thiccc maple bacon. The mac salad is a nice side. I ll be back for more next time i m in town.
Love it!
Absolutely delicious food! 10 out of 10 would recommend, had the chicken burger and it blew my socks off. A little slice of Hawaii on the island, fantastic food and service.
We ve had a few of their burgers and man are they good! Absolutely delicious. Only drawback to the place is that there s not much seating. But otherwise awesome!
I am so glad I finally got to check this place out and was not disappointed! Came from our of town and will gladly be back! Everything was perfect, best burger in years and the dole whip - absolute perfection. And on top, the friendliest staff. This will be my new obsession!
The food here is delicious. One of the best spots in the Cowichan Valley!
tldr: IF YOU ARE VEGAN/VEGETARIAN, DON T EAT HERE! I want to preface this by saying I absolutely love Hawaiian food. My boyfriend got the kahuna and loved it! I ordered the vegetarian burger and the bun was good, the first few bites were okay (extremely sweet and the ketchup had a weird, hard texture) but the burger literally SQUISHED to the bottom almost immediately. I m talking like the entire contents of the burger including the avocado topping slipped out into the wrap by the end. It s like they scooped up the veggie burger mix and didn t even cook it like some sort of taco mix. Except there wasn t a taco shell to catch anything. I m very sad I spent $20 on a bun and some mush at the bottom of the bag. Vegetarian options: inedible
The dole whip was absolutely scrumdidlyumptious. Very smooth and creamy with a strong pineapple taste that is not overpowering. Texture is light and airy. It was friendly to my sensitive lactose-hating stomach. I went yesterday and i am going back today for another treat.
Food was amazing but i ordered take out my 1st time when i go to online menu picture of kahuna burger is a chicken burger was surprised when i got a beef burger menu misleading food was awesome
Good burgers,but twice I have gone there at 6:45 and they are closed on a Friday evening when they say that they are open till 7:?
High quality and well prepared burgers with an interesting array of toppings. Recommended, one of the best burgers on the south island
Amazing! The Hawaiian Iced Tea was amazing, The Maui Burger was so delicious! Will come back! The slaw was amazing, want to try the Mac salad next time!
Pretty well everything Ive tried has been delicious.
Our burgers were unique and delicious! Kyle was great too! A must try in Duncan
I am watching my burger being made by a sweaty grumpy older man... he was cleaning things/putting things away when I arrived, and he took my order (Kahuna burger), paid, and he went RIGHT to cooking it without even washing his hands. And yes, they were dirty (I saw up close when he brought me my $4.75 small cup of fruit punch). I really REALLY wont be back.
This is the best place for burgers in Victoria hands down. The owners go above and beyond to make sure you are looked after. The outdoor patio is a bonus and it is within walking distance to the waterfront and lots of shopping. I highly recommend checking it out. If I could give more stars I would.
Passionate owners, amazing food, great vibes
One of the best burgers Ive had in a long time. Ill definitely be back to try everything on the menu.
Best burgers in town. Enough said.
Every time I come here it is delicious! The food is great and made with high quality ingredients. The owners/staff are so friendly. Fresh pies too
Great food! Ask for extra napkins. Youll need them.
The best burger Ive ever had. The lemonade was also incredible. Tourist pricing but everything is $ now
Very good burger and very friendly service. I can only recommend it.
The Haleakala, a meatless pulled jackfruit sandwich, is phenomenal!!! Pineapple Dole whip always delish too will be back 250%
Burger was fantastic and Hawaiian iced tea has a great after taste can t wait to visit again everyone was very nice!
Came by on a recommendation. The burgers we had were ok. Hubby had the big Kahuna and said he wasn t overly impressed. Their prices are very expensive for what you get. Nearly 50 bucks for a couple of burgers with a couple small sides of mediocre coleslaw. The day we came, the fellow working was completely mechanical didn t engage with us at all. It wasn t busy , there was one other table Basically seemed like he didn t want to be there. Practically robot mode. As it was our first time, given that experience, the steep prices and that the food is nothing to write home about. Highly doubt we will return
Surprisingly great poke. Worth to stop and try
Really enjoyed the Basil ginger lemonade. The green papaya slaw is tangy and well paired with the burgers. Portions are a good size! Food : 5/5
I had the Oahu it was amazing the Ramen noodle bun was interesting and delicious. The gentleman behind the counter was warm hospitable and quote charming. He made me smile and made my day. Thanks!
big burger....
Best service in Victoria! Immediately was greeted by super friendly staff with great recommendations along with amazing food! Best burgers in town. Dont skip our on the Dole Whip with their Lava sauce
BEST. BURGERS. EVER. PERIOD. Okay, okay. Some context- I am a huge fan of out-of-the-ordinary burgers, as that s pretty well how I make them at home. All the toppings, all the flavours- as messy as possible. I am a regular at Bin4 because it s one place I know I can always get something different every time. But I hate to say it, this place is like Bin4 on steroids. MASSIVE burgers with such unique flavours you would never expect. Pineapple jam?? Thai basil mayo?? Are you kidding me??? Not to mention, the best gluten free buns I ve ever had. I told my boyfriend next time we go to the island, we re driving all the way to Duncan just for these burgers. So dang good. PS, this review is well overdue, I visited a few weeks ago while visiting town. So happy I found this place. Service is phenomenal too. You can tell they really care about what they do. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
Great food! Incredible service from the owner who was hysterical. The best burger Ive have in years!
Bring an appetite and order the big kahuna.
Just go and get a burger. Just do it! They are delicious - you wont be to disappointed. Im sorry it took me this long to have one.
The best burger I have had in recent memory here in Victoria. You can tell they care about each item that gets put out. Will be happily returning and telling friends and family.
The guys I met were super friendly and the burger was amazing!! I forgot what it was called but it had mushrooms--so delicious. I love supporting local businesses and the guys there were awesome :)
Excellent burger and mac salad! Friendly service. My daughter and I shared a burger which they kindly cut in half and wrapped separately as well as split the mac salad. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Server was very friendly and welcoming and the burger and dessert was fantastic
I will be dreaming of this place until the next time Im on the island!!! Ordered from UberEats as they were closing by the time we could get there. There was an amazing BOGO deal for their Molokai burger as well as free dole whip. WOW. We wanted to come back to try other burgers in person but were rushing back to the ferry. Wish you guys were on the mainland but cannot wait to come back!!! Mac salad was also delicious.
Seriously great burgers, no complaints and the sauces are amazing
We hosted a b-day party at Kahuna and had a blast. We seated a party of 10 and got fed in record time. Poke was great, plate lunches were fantastic the only thing we didnt try were the burgers. Will be back!
Amazing stuff, I got the The Kahuna Burger . You don t want to know the things I would do to have it for the first time again ! If you re in Duncan and aren t eating here there is something seriously wrong with you.
Very good. Fresh and tasty!
Good option when looking for a different kind of burger option. Creative menu influenced by the flavors of Hawaii. Small place so be patient as they get busy.
99/10. Kahuna burger was amazing.
Great burger and coleslaw. Service was very good.
Fantastic business. Incredibly fast service, super friendly owners who care about their customers and delicious food! Everything is made from real ingredients and tastes wonderful. Portion sizes are extremely fair and the price is definitely affordable. Thanks for opening up guys and best wishes with upcoming expansions! See you soon.
great food good location,lots of parking across the road.
Vegetarian options: Veggie burgers Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor Food : 5/5 |
They have a unique flavor to at you cannot find at any other burger place in the island. Definitely recommend a visit. They will explain the burgers and sauces as soon as you arrive, very good service!!! Definitely worth a visit!
Saw the sign on the highway and had to stop in!!! Awesome burger and side salads!! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere!!! Aloha!!
Delicious, 100% would recommend.
The service was amazing and the food was even better
Great spot to grab lunch. Not really set up for eating in, but delicious food and good service.
Best burger I ve ever had Mahi mahi and the kahuna beef burger everything was fresh, clean lovely bright place, friendly staff .. can t say enough and the mango ketchup .. we ll be back !!
Just went with a group of people (to the Victoria Loacation), I had the Big Kahuna Burger and it was one of the best burgers Ive ever had. I was hesitant about the Mango Ketchup but it was tasty. Will definitely go back and try more. Staff was friendly and even gave me a little tutorial on how to eat the burger as it is bigger than normal, the burger bag was a game changer. Go there, eat it. Be happy.
Definitely, by far, the best burger experience in Duncan! Expertly made burgers, ranging in flavour but never in consistency. Get there now!
This is must try burger if you are in Duncan! I m vegetarian and I don t eat out specifically burgers but this one is amazing. My meat lover friend found this spot and he came back to get more burgers the next day! Also you should know that these are big burgers and kinda hard to eat and they have a nice wrapper that helps with that.
We were here yesterday! The food was so good! The owner even gave us extra slice of that good dessert!
Top notch burgers here. The guy running the place was first class. Cant wait to come back. Had a burger, and a fish sandwich (Mahi mahi) which my wife said was the best fish burger she ever tried. Their pies area also incredible.
Probably one of the best burgers Ive ever had.
Veggie burgers are amazing!
Absolutely phenomenal and enlightening food. Must try
Amazing food! Best restaurant visit in my whole trip to victoria
Quality burgers, very generous and very balanced. We had a Maui burger ($21) which was delicious and a Malakoi ($19) just as good! I highly recommend :)
Hands down the best burger I have had on Vancouver Island. Definitely worth the trip to check it out.
Amazing service. So much food. Perfectooo
Amazing food, amazing service, and overall an amazing experience. A bit more expensive than most burger places but very much worth it. They also have gluten-free options too!
Really amazing burgers. I will come back with my wife again!
Ate the kahuna. Was given pie. Depression was cured. Now I smile. -S The only time in life I paid $20 for a $40 burger. -T Food : 5/5
Absolutely delicious burgers. GF bun or lettuce bun options. Super friendly counter service. Handy burger wrapper / holder to help minimize mess / drips while eating. Same business as Aloha Bowls, with a courtyard and adjoining bathrooms. Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten-free buns or lettuce buns - and modify their prep to avoid cross-contamination
Wow!! My husband and I split the humhumu and the silent rooster, both were fantastic! The humuhumu was both of our favorites, the Mahi Mahi tasted so fresh and the sesame coating is delicious. So many good flavors! We ordered the macaroni salad as a side, my daughter and husband enjoyed it. We also had the pineapple dole whip for dessert. It was also tasty! **This place does not have a kid burger or fries if that is something you are looking for.** The humuhumu was by far the best burger Ive ever had! We enjoyed the ambuance - music playing and the hawaiian decor. We ate outside as it was a beautiful day which added to the experience. We will be back!
Very different and very delicious!
So good! Wow. Kauai burger with Mac n cheese, and Haupia Pie Food
Located in Downtown Duncan BC this small local business is currently one of very few places around this part of the world where you can get a Dole Whip (a treat quite popular in Disney world). Friendly staff and very welcoming. Be sure to stop in and see what they have to offer!
Both my partner and I were blown away by the quality of food and service! I had the silent rooster chicken sandwich and my partner had the maui burger and they were both phenomenal! Not to mention the amazing fruit punch and pie! One of our new favorites for sure!
The Maui burger was great and the bacon in it was awesome, nice and crisp . The side salad of macaroni was good tasty but too much dressing and a bit too sweet.
Deadly burgers. Ordered on skip, they were not soggy, which was awesome. Id recommend to anyone
Coconut and chocolate cream pie amazing!!!
Phenomenal burgers. The best we ve had. Highly recommend when in Duncan.
Friendly staff. Great tasting food. The chicken Katsu layer in the Big Kahuna burger was VERY moist. Batter was perfect. Eco friendly packaging. Mahalo! Recommended dishes The Kahuna, The Kahuna Burger
Just Dined in at the Amazing Kahuna Burger!! WOW my taste buds have been rejuvenated :) This is my familys new Burger place. Such an accomodating, thoughtful & friendly experience not to mention delicious. Definitely not youre average burger thats forsure, so much flavour and theyre huge! Loved the island elements and the Macaroni Salad is a MUST! A+++ We had the Silent Rooster & the Kauai!
Amazing burgers, we had the Oahu and the Maui, would definitely recommend, and try the pies and especially the double chocolate banana bread - just great
Totally worth the price! These are great burgers and the service is excellent.
5 star burger. If you live in the area or just visiting, this is a must stop. Amazing food and friendly staff. The smell of great food hits your nose as soon as you walk through the door.
The best burgers in Duncan, and the pie is delicious.
Exceptional burgers! Excellent quality ingredients, fresh, very generous size, and wonderful flavor combinations. The best burgers weve ever had! Id easily pay more for a burger of this quality.
Great food, amazing service, worth the drive from Langford
Great food, the wrap on the burger is ingenious. Friendly, laid back, and warm atmosphere and people. Much needed after a long hike! Highly recommend. Food
Refreshing taste. Not your average, grease and sugar infused hamburgers. Everything has a tropical slant. Pineapple added to sumptuously stacked burgers gives a naturally sweet-and-tangy taste that would satisfy taste buds craving something other than the chain-store usuals. Ginger added to coleslaw challenges and satiates the adventurous tongue. Hope they expand to other cities. It is located in an area with many small shops. A leisurely stroll after our meal was the bonus. Parking was easy. There is street parking and city parking lots. Very convenient.
An amazing, handmade, authentic, delicious, filling burger experience. Friendly and welcoming staff too! Worth every cent. Vegetarian options: Jack-fruit options. Kid-friendliness: They were able to make plain cheese burgers for my kids. My kids said they were the best burgers ever!
Best gluten free burger in duncan. Their house drinks are awesome too
Incredible food, amazing service, and a lovely dessert selection.
Finally went for a Maui burger for my birthday today. The price of the burgers made me hesitate for a while. However, as I hoped, it is justified. This burger is on another level. The potency and synergy of the flavours are incredible, as are the quality of all ingredients... immediately evident from the first bite. Had a nice chat with Ajay, who is very friendly and understandably proud of what he has created here. Burgers just dont get any better than this. My only problem is that Im going to have a hard time staying away from this place now.
If you want an ordinary run-of-the-mill burger go somewhere else; there a plenty of places to choose from. If you want a really tasty burger after which youll say that was good, try Kahuna Burger.
The cheesecake? WOW!!!!!! I picked up 4 pieces tonight, and this has to be the first time all 4 of us stopped talking while eating AMAZING!!!!!!
Holy flavour explosion!!! I ve never tasted anything as delicious as the Passionfruit Cheesecake! My tastebuds weren t prepared for the first bite! Absolutely amazing!
The attention is excellent, very attentive and the service is the best, very clean, I highly recommend it
One of the best burgers I ve ever had. So unique and such quality. Owner is absolutely fantastic. Don t forget to try the pies !!!
We enjoyed our meal here very much .first time for us since moving to area ,will certainly return ,maybe try poki bowl Vegetarian options: No thanks
Out of this world! I think this guy spent 40 years in a monestary, meditating on creating the worlds most delicious burgers. Fresh ingredients, perfect amount of fat in the burger and not greasy at all. Ive only had The Kahuna and the Maui but I will be back! (The coconut cream pie and the basil lemonade are also exquisite!)
Best burger I have ever had!
Absolutely the best burger Ive ever had!
Best burgers by far that Ive had since moving to the island. Macaroni salad... Worth the drive. Dole whip.... Like youre at Disney Land.
Pretty good little place, Ive been here a handful of times. Its my friends go to place for comfort food, so I usually tag along! The burgers are good, however they seem to go heavy on the mayonaise which imo overpowers the other ingredients, so I just ask for no mayo. The mushroom burger is my favorite so far - I tried the pineapple burger today and it was very slippery and unfortunately all fell apart while eating it, however the taste was still good. Their cheesecake is wonderful, so are their drinks. Wish they had fries although I get thats not part of the Hawaii experience. :) I wonder what a Hawaiian themed side of fries would entail - Id be interested in trying! Theres been a couple times where the order comes slightly wrong, but alls forgiven, and definitely will return and hope to give more stars in the future :) The owner is great btw, love supporting this local place.
Always a treat.
Excellent unique, fresh burger with interesting toppings and friendly service. Well definitely be back! Keep up the quality work!
The Kauai burger is the best veggie burger in Duncan! Great service and music too.
Amazing food. Always taste so freash. Also try the pie Haupia pie is 10/10
Now that s what I call a burger!!
Quite a good burger with gluten free options. Customer service is excellent. We just felt that there were too many competing flavours (sauces) on the burger which made it less enjoyable.
First time at this place. Cheapest burger is $18, but most are $20 or more. Robert, the owner, is excellent and very attentive to customers. His 2 workers, not so much. The burger was okay, the macaroni salad was awesome ($1.50 more). I wanted to love this place, but for me the $22+ costs for a burger and a small side of macaroni salad was just too much to spend for me. Wont be back, but thats not because of anything other than the excessive price. The place is clean and welcoming, and like I said Robert, the owner, is outstanding!!!!
I wish this is in Vancouver so that I can go every week lol !! They didnt have fries or pops but their salad cup and fruit punch were delicious! Way to go experts!
Best burger Ive had in a loooong time!!
Today we decided to try this new burgers place. It reminds me of the cafeterias I used to go back on Europe coasts. We got the Big Kahuna and the Big island burgers. One with a side of coleslaw. Both burgers were yummy (even when for my personal taste it was missing spices. But Im mexican so regular food ALWAYS need extra sauces. Unfortunately they didn t have anything else but the condiments that already came with the burger. Si if you are like me, you might want to consider take out. The side was good. We also got drinks. Hawaiian Blended Ice tea and the lemonade (well that was what I ordered but seems the lady was having a hard time with my accent and might had understood wrong and got me the fruit punch. However I really liked it so I didn t mind the switch, if that was the case). Price wise well these are artisan burgers so yes they are on the pricey side of things. But quality is really good. Recommend it.
One of the best burgers Ive ever had, staff was super friendly and awesome atmosphere! will be back to try out some more menu items
Burger ecstasy. Worth every penny. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns available Food : 5/5 |
wow best burger and cheesecake
Veggie burger was mushy and disgusting. Fell apart as I tried to eat it. Interesting flavour at first, but soon couldnt eat any more. Guess Hawaiian just aint my thing.
Wow. A hidden gem! Delicious burgers and great service. Great for gluten free people too!
Great food! The Dole Whip was excellent.
We put off going here for ages because $20 seemed steep for a burger with no sides. Time to admit we were wrong. Totally worth it. Delicious. Food : 5/5
Really good burger place with interesting flavour profiles. I had The Maui burger and macaroni salad on the side. Both were really good and the salad was so refreshing. The owner - such a nice guy, he makes such a welcoming atmosphere and you can see how passioned he is in small details such as the burger wrapper thats made to help you eat burger easier, and how he explains this to make sure you have a great experience.
Sooo good. Fantastic tasting Burgers.
Fresh Tasty burger on short order was just what this dad needed!! But I ll have to come back for the chocolate burbon pie I added onto my order late.. it didn t seem to make it into my togo bag :(
I wanted a unique burger joint with great food and they delivered, thankyou!
Stopped by on our vacation. Had the Maui burger and the humu burger. Not an ordinary burger! It s a gourmet meal on a bun! I d drive way out of my way to eat there again.
The chicken burger is out of this world. Silent Rooster
Best of the best
Hands down best burger in town
Outstanding burgers. Tried the big Kahuna and it was BIG, and delicious.
Good tasting burger!!
Glad I found these reviews and went a little off the beaten path on my way home to Nanaimo from Victoria. Premium priced, but product quality and great service to make it worth every penny. Best of luck to the owner(s) and their planned expansion.
The food was amazing delicious to the last bite. The service was next level
I just had the most delicious chicken burger ever- served by the nicest chap. Highly recommended!
Yummmmm love the humuhumu burger and papaya slaw . Great atmosphere. Friendly service.
In the voice of Jules: Mm-mmm! that IS a tasty burger!
wow better be hungry but oh so good
We stopped here on our way to Victoria after reading all the wonderful reviews. Little did we know that we would never want to leave this place after trying the delicious masterpieces made here with so much Aloha. Robert and AJ welcomed us like family and the burgers were to die for! We had Big Kahuna and Humumumu burger. So much flavor and so incredibly delicious! Ginger, pineapple, macadamia mayo, sesame slaw and so much Love in every bite! I am still smiling thinking about this amazing experience that became the highlight of our trip. We cant wait to visit new location in Victoria! Mahalo!
This place has delicious food! Fresh made burgers, sides and condiments. One of the best gluten free buns we have ever had. The burgers are huge and very filling, was so welcoming and accommodating for gluten intolerances and made changes to the burger for us. Go eat here!
Just finished the big kahuna and my girl had the regular kahuna burger . Easily the best burger I ve had in . Well, the best burger I ve had - period. Amazing guy who owns it, took time to tell us his story and share his ambitions for future stores look out for Kahuna Vancouver island and Vancouver city you ll love it! (Plus he makes his own desserts which are also legend status)
Don t sleep on this one folks! Our group had 4 different burgers and everyone loved theirs. Can t miss with this one.
By far the best burgers Ive ever had. We stop in Duncan anytime we pass by specifically to go here. Its so, soo good.
Easily the best burgers weve had. Everything about the experience here, from the food to the wrapper the food is in, made for a wonderful experience. This is a must when in Duncan. Thank-you to the team there.
The Ramen noodle burger (the Oahu) is the best burger Ive had in forever. Super meat. Wish they had more seating. Parking in the area is also limited, nothing that can really be done about that though. Amazing pies as well. Overall 5 star.
Man, I heard they had some tasty burgers.
Have No understanding of the bad reviews. Super good food at a fair price for what you get. Some people just like to complain I guess. Fay Food : 5/5
I round up when I give a review, which is why many of my reviews arent 5 stars. The other thing you should know about me is that I often base value on quantity of food per dollar, because Im not incredibly picky. That said, Ive eaten Kahuna Burger 5 times because I cant afford to eat there too often. Rest assured, when I win the lottery, this will become a regular part of my weekly menu. The Maui and Kahuna are both absolutely incredible. Their mango ketchup, pineapple jam and macadamia thai basil mayo are unlike any other condiments Ive eaten before, and take what would already be a premium burger to a whole other level. Their pie, also top-quality with incredible flavours, are to die for. Must try each once! If youre a burger lover with expendable income, you HAVE to visit Kahuna Burger. Unless you have a very rigid palette that thinks burgers should only taste like beef, cheese, and ketchup, you wont regret it.
Amazing burger! Great complex taste, texture and presentation. Would strongly recommend
My first time to Kahuna burger, outstanding flavour,service was top notch, bought a pie to take home, best burger, best pie ever!!
Probably the best burger I ve ever had. The Big Kahuna is huge and so delicious! Can easily feed two people!
Iconic. Unforgettable. Life-changing burgers in an atmosphere that feels like a Hawaiian gettaway. Remarkable attention to freshness. Masterful building of flavours in each dish, every bite is a delight. 11/10, simply out of this world.
I had a K lauea burger. It was very sloppy. It has a nice layer of pulled pork, a slice of pineapple and a pile of coleslaw. It was very tasty but impossible to eat if you want to keep your hands clean . Luckily there is a bathroom around the back. I really enjoyed basil ginger lemonade but next time Ill try a more conventional burger
Cant beat a Big Kahuna. Quite a meal.
Seriously good burgers. I m a burger snob and usually hate gimmick burgers, but after trying these I am absolutely hooked. Food : 5/5
Yummy Kahuna Burger prepped by a real, nice guy. Two for one lies today! Yum. Thanks-liking forward to trying the new location in Victoria. Food : 5/5 |
I just had my first Kahuna experience at their new location in Victoria and it was outstanding. I was with two other people and everyone loved their meals. I had the maui burger and it was so good! My wife had a poke bowl which was huge and had incredible and unique flavours. My mom had the vegan plate lunch which was also great value and really good. The dole whip was super unique and delicious. Looking forward to coming back and very happy to have hem here in Victoria. Vegetarian options: One of our table had the vegan plate lunch and it was great. Parking: Free street parking nearby and a big parking lot across the street. Kid-friendliness: Great for families.
First off... Ive eaten a lot of burgers in my time. And unlike(I expect) most people, i dont just blindly and mindlessly devour it. Ive paid attention to each one over the years. And I believe I am an authority on what works and what doesnt in a burger. Here is my opinion of Maui Burger... Theres a few good things to say about it. Its flavorful... likely due to a wider variety of included toppings, and the ingredients appear fresh. Theres a few problem with it. Its so loaded with ingredients that it is almost a sure thing you have to open the bun and rebuild it by the time it gets to you before you even bite it. Its sloppy to eat as a result as well. One contributing factor to its sloppiness is the thicker cuts of bacon. Its not an easy burger to bite into and pull it away without something left half bitten and pulling off... like the bacon. For the money there is no question this place is at the top of the price ladder for a single burger. My burger after taxes was just over $22. No fries no extras etc. So for the money I really do think that the burden to create a very good burger is on them squarely. What changes could be made in my opinion? First and foremost a bigger bun. Secondly a larger patty that meets or exceeds the size of the bun... a larger bun and patty to match or exceed, you then have a much better foundation to apply the ingredients, and it will be easier to eat as a result. The thick cut bacon has to go. Its far too tough and unpredictable to be used on a sloppy burger. Go with thin cut instead and crisp the bacon but not till burnt hard... dont leave it like rubber. If the burger was bigger yet much easier to eat... you could raise the price $2 to cover the extra cost of bun and meat and people would enjoy it more and it would be an experience buy instead of overpriced as it sits now. Overall Ill give the food here a SOFT 4, because of the ingredients, but I hope they introduce changes that make it easier to enjoy. Atmosphere of the place literally falls flat. There is no connection visually to Hawaii that stands out or wows you... and thats their theme! A painted wall... thats it. And even its drab. Strange. Its like me opening Superman burger and not using red or blue paint anywhere or having no S to be seen. Odd.
(new Vistoria location). Two of us had poke and big Kahuna burger. Both outrageously good! We love the Hawaiian cuisine and will be back, thats for sure. Nice patio, can sit inside or out. Good luck to this new restaurant location!
Out of Thai world amazing. Unlike any other Hawaiian inspired eatery on the Island. The Oahu burger was insanely big and equally delicious. Hand made ice cream and fruit juices this place is authentic and super creative in their recipes!!!
Everything I had there tasted excessively sweet including the drink, the macaroni salad, the burger bun, the burger condiments. Its was basically a dessert burger! I ended up just eating the meat which was good quality though, so if you like sweet burgers/macaroni then this will work for you!
The staff and owners are so friendly and welcoming. I only had the poke bowl, but it was by far the best poke bowl in town.
It was ok. A bit expensive, somewhat unusual burgers and side dishes, drinks too sweet but ok.
I had popped in for lunch, had the Kahuna Burger with macaroni salad and the ginger lemonade. The burger was amazing the lemonade was delicious, but undersized for the price in my opinion, and next time will skip the pasta salad.
I recently dined at Kahuna Burger and was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional quality of their food. The owners passion for delivering a consistently outstanding 10/10 meal is evident in every bite. The warm and friendly atmosphere created by the owners adds a personal touch to the dining experience, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking top-notch burgers and genuine hospitality. Five stars well-deserved!

Dropped by this location at the recommendation of a friend. I was aware of the location up island and curious about this new place on Chatham. Super friendly service, clean bright and well branded store for a non franchised restaurant. I had the Kalua Bowl and thoroughly enjoyed it , I ll definitely be back to consume one of their very large burgers soon! Vegetarian options: Bar B Que Jack fruit was a nice option!
The burgers are great, the service is amazing I loved the Maui burger and would highly recommend this place. They also have vegetarian options to
Amazing burgers! Flavour combos that delight the palate! My husband s go to is the Oahu burger (says it s the best burger he s ever had) and my favourite is the oh so delicious and fresh tasting mahi mahi burger! The delicious macaroni salad is a treat and so tasty! Highly recommend!
Amazing food. Really great drinks. Delicious dessert.
Best Burger in town! Great service! Must go!
Must go! Everything was so nice there! Highly recommended!
Very great little burger place. Flavours were awesome and was so the staff! Recommend the macaroni salad :)
Nestled down town Duncan on Kenneth St. Delicious Burgers await your taste buds. Feshn tasty, condiments/sauses all made in house. Welcoming friendly service, in/out door seating. Food
We ordered the Kahuna burger, and the Oahu. The burgers are made with care and expertise. The Oahu burger is like nothing weve ever had before, the buns are made from ramen noodles. The flavour is matched perfectly to each burger with the homemade sauces. 11/10 will be back here again!
Very glad we stopped here on our way to Victoria. This will be a regular stop now. So much great flavour in these burgers! My bf and I shared the Kuhuna and the Oahu. Both were insanely good. The ramen bun on the Oahu actually worked really well and wasn t messy (probably partly thanks to the well-designed burger wrappers) and the grilled pineapple with pickled ginger combo was excellent. Burgers came with great side options too and we left feeling stuffed. Overall great value for a $20 meal!
It was amazing. What a surprise. We had to stop by due to the pulp fiction reference but the owner was so kind, the burger was delicious (best gf bun ever) and the coleslaw was delicious. I don t usually like coleslaw and a burger is a burger but everything about this place deserves 5 stars. Thank you
I was blown away with how delicious, fresh and creative the food was! The green papaya salad alone is worth a trip. I cant wait to come back hungrier and try the Paradise Pies! Food
Amazing burgers for sure but just wish they had fries as an option the salads are okay but we d definitely go more often if they had fries.
Best place for burgers in Duncan! Very delicious, flavourful and filling. Definitely making a trip back just for the desserts to!
Stopped in for a burger to celebrate a personal moment of happiness. I went all out and ordered the big kahuna burger. It was beyond my wildest dreams of deliciousness. Sweet and savory, soft and chewy, so many flavors my taste buds collapsed in wonder: barbeque pork, fresh chicken cooked tender, a nice firm burger, and a bun unlike any other. Did I mention the thoughtful service? Plus, mind blowing cheesecake for dessert. Where have you been all my life mango cheesecake? Yum. Made a personal moment unforgettable. This is the place.
Best bugers I have had in a long time! Gentleman behind the counter was very informative when asking questions, will be back for sure!
So we stopped by to try the burgers @ The Big Kahuna Burger . Well we were greeted as a welcoming home. An unassuming burger shop with as expected Hawaiian Vibe. We ordered 2 Maui Burgers and Molokai burger all with the Coleslaw. The Burgers were 10 out of 10. The coleslaw was okay. My opinion would be to add some mango to balance out the sharpness of the vinegar. So all in all I would recommend the Big Kahuna a really awesome upgrade from the regular burgers you can by elsewhere. Keep up the good work.
