During my visits to the LA and Hawaii, I have never heard of a burger place called Kua'Aina, a Hawaiian Burger place; but it was here in Tokyo, at the mouth of Kotto-dori in Omotesando that I was first introduced to their burger. The burger, made to order, comes with different options of weight (1/3 or ½ lb) and of toppings (different cheese, pineapple, and avocado). Set menus during lunch include a bowl of salad, a burger and fries, and drinks (dinner set menu excludes the salad.) The burger and fries are very burgelicious! If I were you, I would avoid the boba tea (for those who had boba tea elsewhere in the world, like in California, this boba tea here has little taste.)
Eating in? You have the option of a second-floor non-smoking area, or a third-floor smoking place. The place is like a Hard Rock Café for surfers: surfing paraphernalia, including an autographed board, decorates the interior. Eating out? The place hands your burger in a very well constructed and fully functional box, complete with condiments and plastic-ware (try ordering out and you'll see what I mean!)
Other Kua'Aina places include the one inside the Marunouchi building and another one in Shibuya. More information can be found in their island-themed website.
