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.

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

★★★★★
September 22, 2024

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
