Located at the corner of the intersection in Minami Aoyama 5-chome is Kuaiaina Aoyama Main Store. This is a well-known hamburger shop from Hawaii✨ There are many branches in Japan and it is quite familiar to many people, but this was the first place I fell in love with gourmet burgers^^;✨✨ I used to frequent the store in Saitama Shintoshin, reminiscing about it, I ordered the thick-cut Mozzarella Burger set on this day. You can choose between Kaiser roll, brioche, or whole wheat bread for the bun, and I chose Kaiser roll, with a Pepsi Zero to drink. After receiving a number tag, I waited on the second floor. It was lunchtime so I waited for about 15 minutes before it was ready. The burger comes in halves and you assemble it yourself, then put it in a burger bag( ‘-^ )b The fries are thin-cut fried potatoes✨✨ As soon as it arrived, I remembered how Kuaiaina was like - so much volume and excitement( ˶>ᴗ<˶) It's so tall that it might topple over when stacked! The patty, mozzarella cheese, tomato, lettuce - everything is voluminous✨✨ I pressed the solid Kaiser roll with plenty of sesame seeds and savored it (*´艸`) Everything is fresh, juicy, and a classic gourmet burger✨✨ I was very satisfied after having it after a long time✨✨ I remember feeling that the price was high when I started eating gourmet burgers, but now I think ¥1680 for this set with such a volume is quite cost-effective (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و I feel like I have to visit Kuaiaina occasionally and it was a delicious treat~✨❣️

It was a visit during lunchtime on the weekend. It was relatively empty and we were able to sit down easily at a table for two! I had a voucher, so I only ordered the Thick Cut Mozzarella Avocado Burger! I couldn't change the set for the price difference. I waited for about 10 minutes. The portion was as generous as always! I grabbed the burger firmly and took a big bite! Delicious! The patty had no unnecessary seasoning! It was meaty and you could really taste the flavor of the meat in the patty. I had ordered takeout from the Soramachi branch the other day, but the one from the main store today was definitely better! Maybe it's because it's freshly made! When you consider it as a hamburger, the price is higher than major chain stores, but when you think of it as a hamburger dish, it's not that expensive compared to a hamburger set at a Western-style restaurant! I love the simple seasoning of the patty!

Even though it looks like a junk food, the hamburger was surprisingly light with a sauce that was more refreshing than expected. It wasn't heavy, and had a good amount of volume. It was easy to eat even for women. The meat was not juicy, but had a slight chewiness and meaty flavor.

A shop on the main street. The store has 2nd and 3rd floors available. It was full on the 2nd floor around 2 pm on Saturday, but the 3rd floor was empty. The burgers are brought to you by the staff. Reliable deliciousness, satisfying volume. When you're hungry and want to eat to your heart's content, this is it~ It was delicious!

Kua Aina at Aoyama Main Store♪ Located at the intersection of Aoyama Street and Kotto Street, it is relatively quiet and convenient to use. The BLT set is 1,260 yen with onion fries & potato and a drink included. Ketchup and mustard are self-service. The toasted bread is delicious, and there are many foreigners, creating a nice Hawaiian atmosphere!

I visited the KuAAina Aoyama main store at the busy intersection in Omotesando after a practice session. The place was packed, so I had to wait for a table, but I didn't mind as I ordered a Bacon Burger and Iced Tea. The buns were fluffy and I had the option to choose. The customers were mostly foreigners and stylish girls. Finally, I got a seat on the second floor and started eating. The burger was served in a large dish, with the top and bottom halves separated. I didn't order fries, but they were included by default. The fries were crispy and slightly oily, with a nice golden color. The ketchup and mustard were self-service, with the ketchup being on the sweeter side. The patty was grilled well and had a generous amount of onions and tomatoes, making it very filling. The bacon added a nice touch of saltiness. Overall, it was delicious. They also offer alcoholic drinks. Due to construction work at the station, I had to transfer to the Ginza Line to warp to Shinjuku.

It was around 11:30 am on the first day of the three-day weekend when I visited the restaurant. The place was relatively empty, and I decided to have an early lunch inside. I usually order the cheeseburger, but this time I went for the avocado burger set. It arrived at my table on the second floor in about 10 minutes. As always, I appreciate how Kua Aina lets you enjoy the natural flavor of the meat without unnecessary seasoning. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and the combination of avocado, onion, tomato, and meat was delicious. The coffee was on the strong side, with a deep roast. I was surprised to see many families with babies and toddlers, which made me wonder if people come here with a fast-food mindset due to the location. This restaurant is loved by people of all ages and genders.

Hamburger is a place where you can experience the original concept of a hamburger, with bread, meat, and salad all sandwiched together on a plate. It is completely different from a certain global chain's hamburgers, as the bread, meat, and vegetables all provide a satisfying and juicy bite. The fries are thin and crispy, with a good amount of oil, leaving you feeling fully satisfied after finishing your meal. When you order at the counter on the first floor, you will be assigned a seat on the second or third floor, so you will need to take the stairs. The stairs are decorated with photos of Hawaiian shops and surfers, adding to the unique atmosphere of this original location.

Here, you can take an appropriate amount of ketchup or mustard from the tanks and put it in disposable cups to use. However, they often run out of supplies due to being busy. It's a convenient location with many customers, so it's understandable. I enjoyed my meal today. Thank you!

Kua 'Aina is a burger restaurant that I like because I have been to other branches before. The taste is undeniably delicious. This time, I tried the turkey sandwich. It's lighter than a burger and very good! The restaurant itself feels narrow and long, but I think there are quite a few seats available.

I started a gourmet site. Visited the Aoyama main store of the hamburger shop "KUA 'AINA" located at the intersection of Kotto-dori and Aoyama-dori. This hamburger shop born in Hawaii, as the Hawaiian word suggests "country folk," originated in a small rural town on the North Shore. Two years later, it expanded to Japan, and now it has grown to 30 stores nationwide, becoming a popular hamburger shop in Japan. Despite being in the heart of the city, the colorful neon lights give off a Hawaiian vibe. The most popular item is the avocado burger, a well-balanced burger where each ingredient doesn't stand out vividly. Personally, I prefer a more vivid avocado flavor. The impression of sesame sprinkled on top of the burger is the strongest. When I visited back in my university days, I was surprised by the burger that was different from fast food. Nowadays, there are more interesting hamburger shops in the world. The value that led the industry remains undiminished. Thank you for the meal.

Just a few minutes from Omotesando is Kuaina. They have their main store in Hawaii. While many burgers in Japan are on the smaller side, the burgers here have a decent size! It's quite obvious when compared to the neighboring burger shop. I ordered the Chili Beans Cheeseburger and Caesar Salad because I wanted some vegetables. The salad, despite being 500 yen, was satisfying with plenty of ingredients. The plastic fork was a bit difficult to eat with, but that's understandable. Unfortunately, the size of the burger doesn't really come across in the photos, but the meat is quite substantial. The spicy chili beans were delicious! I would definitely want to come back for this. The prices are on the higher side, but with this size and quality, I am completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal. I am quite full now.

Through work, I became friends with a mom entrepreneur, and we decided to go shopping in Aoyama. As it was past lunchtime and we were starting to get a little hungry, we decided to take a break and have lunch at "KUA‵AINA". It was my first time there, and the Hawaiian-themed interior was really nice. The menu had options like avocado burgers and various types of cheeseburgers, making it hard to choose. This time, I ordered the basic "Hamburger" lunch set (1,100 yen). You could also choose from three types of bread, so it would be fun to try different ones. The set included fries, onion rings, and a drink, which made it a great deal. Despite the generous portion, I finished it quickly as I was engrossed in conversation with the mom entrepreneur, whose background was fascinating. They also had sandwiches and pancakes on the menu, so I would like to try them next time.

I came to Aoyama, so I stopped by Kua Aina in Aoyama for the first time in a while! I really like it here because you can enjoy the feeling of being in Hawaii. The burgers are closer to gourmet burgers than typical chain restaurant burgers, so they are delicious!

I had lunch at a place with Hawaiian-style decor, creating a great atmosphere. I wish I could go to Hawaii this year... I ordered the Colby Jack Spicy Burger with fries and a drink. The burger was filled with meat, tomato, lettuce, cheese, and onions, all seasoned with a spicy red sauce. It was much more substantial than burgers from other chains, but a bit pricey at over 1000 yen. Still, it's perfect for experiencing the Hawaiian vibes.

KUA`AINA, a gourmet burger restaurant born in 1975 on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, means "KUA" in Hawaiian means back, and "AINA" means land, and it conveys a rustic, simple, and old-fashioned Hawaiian soul. I love Hawaii, so when I first tried their Hawaiian burger at another location many years ago, I was blown away. Since then, I have been coming back many times to enjoy this Japanese-inspired Hawaiian burger. Today, I happened to pass by and decided to get takeout. The taste was consistently delicious! I learned that they charge 2 yen for putting a plastic bag on the cob salad, which made me realize it's already July. In the end, I just took the paper bag. I will definitely be back for more!

Evaluation Score: Kuaina is famous in Japan, but this small shop is the first store in Japan. Surprisingly, there is only one store in Hawaii, while Japan has a significantly larger number of stores for this mysterious burger joint. As the main store, even if you have been to other Kuaina locations, it is worth visiting this one at least once. The floor is narrow, and there is no elevator, so it is not recommended for those with baby strollers or weak legs. Also, the prices are quite high. Maybe higher than other shops...? Or is it just my imagination? Perhaps it's the Aoyama price. The burgers themselves are very juicy and delicious, so I rate it 3.2 stars. Trigger/Purpose: When I was in the Omotesando area looking for lunch, I wandered around but couldn't find a good restaurant. In the end, I decided to go to the Kuaina main store since I had never been there before. Location/Waiting Time/Seating/Ambiance/Customers/Wifi/Toilet/Smoking/Baby Strollers, etc: About a 5-minute walk from Omotesando Station. The shop is tall and has a total of 3 or 4 floors. There is no elevator. While there are many Kuaina locations in Japan, this small shop seems to be the first store. The atmosphere is somewhat Hawaiian and stylish. The other customers were a mix of young people and those in their 40s. Sitting next to me were a family who seemed to be visiting Omotesando to scout for a wedding venue. It's a bit challenging to bring a baby stroller to this shop. You need to fold it and leave it on the first floor, then carry the child separately to the upper floors. Food (Order Reason, Taste, Quantity, Waiting Time, etc): - LUNCH SET BBQ Thick Cut Cheddar Cheese Burger (¥1,500 tax included) The lunch set includes a drink for ¥1,500... it's expensive, but well, it's Omotesando so it's understandable. The food itself was delicious. When I was younger, I could finish it easily, but now it's a struggle to finish it. The meat was juicy and tasty, and it was quite filling. Eating on the upper floor allows for a more relaxed dining experience as the staff's attention is not as focused. Desired Points: It seems impossible, but having an elevator for barrier-free access would be nice. Also, the high prices may be unavoidable...

On January 3, 2020 (Friday), all the gourmet burger restaurants around were closed. However, Kua 'Aina was open! I didn't know this was the main store! I ordered the Thick-Cut Colby Jack Cheeseburger and it was pretty delicious! I should have added avocado...

I visited the Aoyama branch of Kuaaina, a hamburger shop located near Omotesando Station on the Tokyo Metro and the intersection of Minami Aoyama 5-chome on a holiday afternoon around 13:30. I ordered and paid on the first floor before taking a seat at a table on the third floor. I had the Thick-Cut Cheddar Avocado Burger with Pickle Topping and a Blue Hawaii drink for ¥1782. The burger had a generous portion of avocado, fresh tomato and lettuce, rich cheddar cheese, tangy pickles, and a flavorful bun and patty that all combined to create a delicious taste. It was quite filling but the flavors were so good that it didn't get boring. Thank you for the meal.

In the evening on a regular day, I wanted to have tea with a few friends and visited a cafe near Omotesando Station. Every cafe was crowded and we couldn't get in, but thanks to this place having three floors, it was relatively empty and we were able to get in right away! The third floor where we sat was like a private room, with a warm and stylish atmosphere that felt like being in a foreign country. The cafe had a relaxed atmosphere and was very cozy. I ordered a cafe au lait which was not only large in quantity but also cheap! It's perfect for reading, doing work, or any other tasks. I was very satisfied with both the comfortable atmosphere and the affordable prices! It was so nice that I would even come alone.
