The Daley

One of the best burgers on the island. Small clean cozy place with a few tables with bar stools. Placed our order and watched the magic happened. Only two workers but they were so efficient. The cheese was nicely melted on the double patties which was cooked perfectly. The soft bun was the correct size too. Fries were crispy, lightly salted and tasty. Simple but so good!!!

Smashing it...Nothing like a good burger and here in Chinatown...Nuuanu Ave to be exact is where you can find basically the only thing that they do burgers in a spot that works with just a few seating...mine I do like to sit behind the plexiglass watching the magic happen.It's basically single, double or beyond veggie with a side of fries and/or a drink the build is simple with American cheese, onions and boss sauce which reminds me of a thousand island dressing isn't my favorite in fact it's a great burger but I need more toppings like some veggies as I don't like pickles so I ended up scraping it off but their crinkle cut fries was yummy nothing fancy as the star was the burger was nice as it was freshly made to order.Dining in your burger is presented in a basket which is nice and easy to consume and for take outs is wrapped up and placed in a it's own pouch is a genius system of simplistic and eco friendly without crushing it and an easy pic to capture without disturbing it's beauty.Ordering is easy and the staff does double duty at times but at this busy place the vibe is always so lively and fun.Thank you!

Overpriced because it is in Chinatown. It is a very very basic burger. Nothing special except it is made to order. Inside was hot, food took a while, and seating is limited. It is one of the only options for a burger in the area though. Not bad, but price for quality isn't worth it.

Found out about this popular restaurant in Chinatown. It doesn't have much room inside, so you may have to order and take it out. The Daley is the top place in Honolulu for smashburgers. A burger with everything mixed together and grilled. You can even get a Beyond Burger if avoiding the beef and meats. About the smallest restaurant you can find around here. It's only got a few tables inside. There's also a patio but it's often closed though. Has a menu that's only a few items. This helps make it easier to order. It's about $7 for a beer. There's a couple on draft. It's about $15 for the Beyond Burger. Just be aware to make it vegan, leave off the cheese and sauce. This also comes with grilled onions, but they're pretty limited in options for other toppings. Even though it's a small place, the burgers are big on taste, even the one that's plant based. I made a pretty good rhyme. There's a few options for the burgers, including one that's okay for vegans and vegetarians.

Parking is street or paid lots as this is downtown.Restaurant atmosphere is trendy, clean, with nice cool outdoor eating area which is shared with other restaurants, bathroom was clean also, tv with football playoffs.Menu, simple which is a smart idea, grill man was busy flipping burgers.Price, average in these times.Takeout bag, high quality as the inside of the paper bag was lined with "plastic", so if it got wet the bag would hold up.Fries, standard crinkle cut, hard to go wrong with fries.Burger, a little on the dry side, so combined with the bun and cheese made it on the dryer side where I wished it came with lettuce and tomatoes to make it more juicy.Would have probably given it a 4 if I drank in the outdoor area. Giving this a 3 because of taste of burger, didn't wow me like some other burger joints.

Great ambiance and nice patio seating. Line went by pretty quickly but the food took a little bit to come out.I like the simple menu and burgers and fries are delicious. It wasn't as juicy or flavorful as I was expecting it to be but still yummy.

This is a really solid smash burger! I felt like it could use a *little* more salt or seasoning on the burger itself but that very well could have just been a day to day fluctuation. The fries were reasoned really well and absolutely delicious! There is street parking in the area but we found a fairly inexpensive lot around the block to park in. The restaurant itself is small, but there was plenty of seating on the outside back patio!

Best burger on the island!Food: Pretty straightforward menu. Just a few items, as most menus should be. Restaurants tend to overcomplicate things when they can't focus on one specialty. This spot nails the burgers on the head. Juicy, seasoned fair, and the bread is crispy yet soft. You KNOW the fries are great when they are great by themselves without ketchup. Crinkle cut fries are the best cut, don't come for me. Good amount of salt too, not too much. They had two beers on tap but the ale was hearty. Loved the pairing option.Service: Service was okay. Nothing too crazy. Wish they had more seating but their back area closes at 2 P.M. Kind of strange so it was a little challenging to sit about 8 of us. Had to wait for an additional table to open up. They didn't fill their water either so we got slightly thirsty.Overall, I think they deserve a 5-star just for the food alone, but the service could've been better. Definitely a must-try if you're in the Chinatown area.

Great smash burgers and crispy fries! We enjoyed our visit and were happy my brother-in-law suggested this place.

Really good Smashburger in Chinatown. They have a very limited menu (ala In N Out - just burgers and fries mostly) but they're good at what they do and getting down to the basics allows them to put all their attention on the main event...The Daley Burger. They're 1/4 pound patties and as of Nov '24, you're looking at $10 for a single or $15 for a double. Even though they're smashed, they're crispy without being overly dry and the fries are a good complement to the burger. Overall, a great pit stop if you're on the way to the theatre or just walking around looking for a quick burger.
