Plant the seed and it'll grow. You see, just earlier I decided to get a haircut to offset the weird things happening since the full moon from last night that's been attacking me from many directions. My stylist has been cutting my hair for almost 35 years now. When I go see him, we usually talk about our families, travel and the most entertaining topic.......FOOD! He commented on the food trucks lined up in front of Imperial Plaza on Cooke Street and one particularly stands out: Hauoli Sandwiches (HS). They open at 11am and usually a line forms prior to opening. HS posts their location on IG so it's apparent they have a following. Despite bringing home lunch for today, I just had to investigate. HS started in May 2021 serving handcrafted and healthy sandwiches. They operate from a food truck and can been found at locations such as the Hawaii Kai Market at Koko Head Elementary School, Mother Waldron Park in Kakaako, downtown Honolulu, Malama Hawaii Makers Market in Haleiwa, and on Cooke Street in front of Imperial Plaza. For exact locations, you can also follow HS on IG for their locations and menu items for the day. After my hair cut, there were about 5 people waiting in line to order plus about 7 people on the side waiting for their food. I was glad to see that the sandwiches are made-to-order. I wasn't in a rush to go back to the office, so I stood in line and waited patiently to order. But I used the waiting time to decide what to get and my eyes landed on the Poipu, oven roasted turkey, provolone cheese, mayonnaise, pesto, sundried tomatoes, house pickled onions and a honey drizzle sandwiched between homemade rosemary focaccia bread - - I later found out this is their bestselling sandwich. Although reading non-positive comments on the chocolate chunk cookies, I took a chance. I ended up getting 2 Poipu sandwiches and 2 cookies - - I decided to also get lunch for my stylist who recommended me here. After paying for my food, I stood on the side for about 10mins or so before my number was called. I confirmed my order and walked back to give my stylist his lunch and dessert. I then hopped in my car and drove back to the office with great anticipation. THE VERDICT: I was impressed with the attention to detail and presentation. My Poipu sandwich was wrapped nicely and compact. It was also SOLID - - it had weight and perhaps could be used to throw with and to cause some damage. I unwrapped the sandwich and could see the different layers. I really appreciate how the chef to the time and effort to assemble the sandwich. After taking obligatory photos, it was time to dig in. The Poipu sandwich indeed is SOLID - - the taste was fabulous, and the contents were indeed hearty and filling. I also appreciated the different layer and texture contrasts. The pesto gave the sandwich a great pop of freshness and loved how the focaccia bread wasn't too doughy so you could appreciate the sandwich components. For the chocolate chunk cookie, it was okay but nothing earth shattering. It satisfied the sweet tooth in me and had a great chewy texture but just standard in my books. Customer service was above average. The staff were quite friendly and courteous while attending to the line of hungry patrons. Overall, an above average experience where I wouldn't hesitate to come back. I did see their post where the owners are looking to sell the business as they are ready to move on to another chapter. Next time I am hoping to try a different sandwich and pair it with a cold drink. NOTE: I followed HS on IG after returning to the office. I then noticed in their story that they were sold out at 12:35pm. Impressive. 2022 #40
My friend mentioned something to me today. There are "good sandwiches" and there are "great sandwiches". It made me think...what did I consider a "great sandwich"? After trying Hauoli's sandwich today, I think I found what I would call a "great sandwich". The great sandwich I had today was the Kapaa from Hauoli Sandwich Company. The Kapaa was a chicken salad sandwich with homemade pickled onions, arugula, and provolone cheese. What made it so great? - The Flavor - The pairing of the creamy chicken salad and arugula was something I never had before...and it was amazing. The chicken salad had cranberry and some celery. The slight sweetness of the cranberry with complimented the savoriness of the sandwich and everything made it so tasty. - The bread - I really liked the bread. It was a focaccia which wasn't too thick. I personally have had focaccia sandwiches where the bread was just too thick. But Hauoli's was just right. It was also what made the sandwich pretty filling. I could only manage to eat half!! (Yay for breakfast tomorrow) I usually don't travel out of the office for lunch but I was glad I stepped out to try their sandwich. Where can you get this great sandwich? Follow their IG for their location since they're a good truck. Go early or you they might run out! Last piece...THEIR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES ARE AMAZINGG! If you love chewy cookies, their cookies are chewy and soooo delicious. You know when you look at a cookie and can tell it'll taste good? Their cookies are one of them. I could eat a dozen of them easily! One moree thing! They recently got new owners from my understanding so they're are learning the scoops. Give them your support and check them out! #supportlocal
Sammiliciousness is when a sandwich is so yummy it brightens your day! Hau'oli Sandwich Company is simply Aloha and comfort and you can certainly taste it as it every ingredient and that's truly priceless. Sadly I've just found out that they'll be closing their biz and have been operating on a limited schedule down to Wednesdays and Thursdays though locations will vary so check them out on Instagram @hauolisandwichco to see where they'll be and trust me! I was fortunate to have Thursday available and found them on Cooke St and yes you know what's for lunch! First of all they serve it all on their freshly baked house Rosemary Focaccia Bread....oooOOOOO!!!! Well let me tell you that bread is amazingly fragrant with rosemary that I love and is classic with focaccia bread but it's a beautiful cut of bread that's not to thick, soft and just the perfect support to hold all the love they create to make it a classic Hau'oli Sandwich. Po'ipu Sandwich!!! YEAH!! WOOHOO!! OMG!! Oven Roasted Turkey, Provolone, Mayo, Pesto, Sun-dried Tomatoes, House Pickled Onions (LOVE!), Drizzled with Honey. Ya...just check out my picture cause I can't put into words how they create this masterpiece, there's certainly no shortage of anything and you won't be leaving hungry this Sammy was just perfect as is. I can taste the work that goes into it and have mad respect for them as they've decided to start a new chapter in life. Y'all please come check them out and show some love as they exhume it ten time folds...thank you Hau'oli Sandwich Co.!! Thank you!!
Hauoli Sandwich finally has new owners as of the ending of 7/21. They posted on Instagram a few months ago advertising the sale of their business and they finally found the perfect owners to take over. They've been in business for several years now, but i've just recently tried them out this year. Their sandwiches start at about $12 each, but they're large and filling. I've tried all of them except for the guava beef and was never disappointed in any of the sandwiches I've tried. They were also open twice a week, and there is always a line forming before they open. I try to go around opening time to avoid any disappointments. Their operations are very clean as well. Both members inside of the truck use masks and hand sanitizer in between guests. Hopefully the new owners will keep the truck operating for more days in the future!
I've been meaning to try this place out, and low and behold.. it was parked a block away from the building I work in today! It was meant to be haha. I ordered the Haleiwa and opted for no sprouts and extra honey. So my custom sandwich had two thick slices of ham, avocado spread, tomato, pickled onion, and honey! Yummm the perfect combination of sweet, sour, and savory! I'm usually not a fan of onions, but the pickled onions were delicious and added a nice sweetness to the sandwich. The focaccia was a nice touch (instead of regular sandwich bread), and I would love if they have ciabatta bread one day as an option! Overall, the sandwich was really filling and delicious :) I can't wait to try the poipu and their iced teas as well! Service was quick and friendly. Follow them on Instagram to get their location updates!
Holy crap. This place has the most amazing sandwich I've ever had. And I was skeptical. I first heard about this truck on social and have been following. My schedule hasn't lined up with theirs until yesterday (Wednesday). So I hate waiting for things. Hate it. The line wasn't long, just three people in front of me, but it took a long time to take my order. It is a two person operation, so it's understandable, but did I mention how I hate hate hate waiting? Anyway, I figured this would be my one and only visit. BUT the sandwich was AMAZING. I had the Poipu, Turkey pesto with sundried tomatoes and pickled onions. The Turkey was so tender - I don't think I've ever described Turkey like that before. I don't know how they did it! The bread was perfect, and I usually toast my sandwiches first - I like everything crunchy. But it was perfect just as it was. And the pickled onions were such a great accompaniment, and I do not like pickled things! I truly do not understand but it all worked and was THE BEST sandwich I've ever had. Not even exaggerating. The sandwich was also a good size; I only ate half. I also ordered the lilikoi mango iced tea, which was yum as well. So I will definitely be back and I will definitely be getting at least two sandwiches because I refused to share my leftovers with my husband. So minimum, one for him and one for me. Also, yes is kind of pricey but totally worth it. I only eat out for lunch like 1x a week since I mostly work from home, so I can justify it. LOVE.
Absolutely delicious sandwiches! I can't get enough of sandwiches and this place is the ultimate New kid on the block. Their food truck had a soft opening today at Mother Waldron park, next to La Birria. We got the Poipu and Waikiki sandwiches, as well as lemonade. O.m.g. The sandwiches are huge! And the meat exquisite - great quality and excellent texture. The pesto is not too strong but perfectly compliments the turkey and sundried tomatoes. Magnificent! The Waikiki is definitely more hardy in terms of meat and taste. It's a light flavor of bbq-ish so it's not too sweet and not too salty - jussssst right! Also their bread is HOMEMADE focaccia AND their pickled onions are too! Definitely a highlight of the sandwich as it compliments everything perfectly. Prices are wonderful and very very good. The portions, taste, and quality make this well worth what I paid. Absolute respect for this food truck. They killed it on the sandwiches and drinks. I know I'll be back very soon and spreading the word to everyone. Do yourself a favor and come get a bite of delicious, homemade sandwiches :)
If you haven't tracked down Hau'oli sandwich co. yet then you need to watch their Instagram and check them out. The menu changes a bit every time but everything I've tried so far has been amazing. I normally catch them outside Mother Waldron Park on Cooke street. Their sandwiches are handcrafted on house made rosemary focaccia bread and absolutely delicious. So far I've tried the Po'ipu (honey roasted turkey, provolone, pesto), the Waikiki (guava beef, gouda, mayo), Koloa (asian style chicken meatball, provolone, sriracha mayo) and Hale'iwa (applewood smoked ham, muenster, mayo). Personally my favorite was the Waikiki but everything is always good. The sandwiches are also pretty filling. They personally last me two meals. Definitely check them out and give some love to this newer locally owned small business.
We just recently saw this truck at the Kaiser PTSA farmers market. This truck is not listed on the website because they are a new edition. I posted a photo of the menu we had last week. The sandwich and lemonade were excellent!
I love that there's such an awesome sandwich truck downtown! There's definitely not enough yummy sandwiches in the area. The lady at the register was super nice and friendly! She made the experience super enjoyable :) I'm glad I went with a friend as we got to try two of their yummy sandwiches! When we went, they were only offering three types of sandwiches. We got a roast beef and a pesto sandwich. -The roast beef sandwich was definitely our favorite. The bread so toasted and also fluffy. The sauce they had on the sandwich was just so good! We devoured it so fast, I can't remember what else was in it other than it was so freaking goooood! -The pesto sandwich was good too but definitely not as memorable as the roast beef. I can't remember exactly what type of meat it was (possibly turkey?). The pesto sauce was good and they put pickled onions in this sandwich, what a game changer!! Overall this place is a solid choice if you want to change it up from your typical sandwich spots since they're not always in downtown. Also - make sure to follow them on their IG because they post their location and operation times.
I look forward to the days Hau'oli Sandwich Company comes to downtown. I wasn't even a focaccia bread fan until I had their sandwiches. But I've tried both the Poipu and the Haleiwa and they're both amazing. I love the pickled onions as it adds a nice crunch and sweetness to the sandwiches. The lilikoi mango iced tea is also delicious! I'm not gonna go on because you really can't go wrong with their sandwiches. I just have to say, I tried their chocolate chip (or was it chocolate chunk?) cookie and I wasn't a fan of that. It's good if you like your cookies to be on the thin and hard side, but as a chewy-cookie-lover, it wasn't for me.
Check their Instagram for their location that day. I can sometimes catch them on Thursdays outside of Imperial Plaza on Cooke Street. Went there for lunch today and there was a short line. My favorite is the Poipu which is a turkey pesto sundried tomato sandwich. Service is super quick! They had my sandwich ready in less than 5 minutes. Will be back!
I loved these sandwiches too much! I was super happy I was able to try the O'ipu and Waikiki sandwiches *swoons*. I just happened to be at Mari's Garden and then what an amazing coincidence to see them parked out front! Both sandwiches were amazing and filling! I definitely need to come back I thought they were so delicious. I think about these sandwiches often. I am not the type to eat sandwiches but for these I digress. LOL Imma drop everything - so worth it

Though the previous owners have passed their beloved food truck to new owners, the food remains to be amazingly delicious and remains to have the same amazing service with a warm ambiance. They don't necessarily have a set menu so your best bet is to check out their Instagram page to see where they will be and what will they be serving. My favorite sandwich thus far is their po'ipu (turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto). The bread they use is foccacia which will fill you up pretty quickly. And because they usually operate during work day hours, it is best that you just eat half of the sandwich to avoid that afternoon crash. Prices for these sandwiches may be on the higher side but the quality of the food makes up for it. This food truck is definitely worth checking out. Make sure you follow their Instagram account and see where they will end up. Pro tip: turn on that notifications to see where they are and head there before the lunch rush appears. read more
Good friends tell you the truth... For your own good... That's Paul C. for you... When he likes something a lot, he will let you know... Several times! So... When he stated a couple of times that the last day for the original owners of Hau'oli Sandwich Company was Thursday (7-21-22), I marked my calendar. I anticipated a long line. I made sure that I was there one hour prior to opening. I lucked out and got parking on the street right behind the food truck at 10am! Promptly at 11am, the window of the Food Truck opened up with cheerful, smiling faces! They took photos of the long line - some of their many fans! Then, they began their efficient, friendly service! I ordered the Po'ipu Sandwich: honey roasted turkey on rosemary focaccia, topped with sun-dried tomatoes, Pesto, provolone, mayo, and house picked onions. I also got the Lemongrass ginger lemonade and Lilikoi mango iced tea. Refreshing! There was a drawing for free gifts - a very sweet and thoughtful parting gift. I won a jar of house Pickled Onions! Whoa! Da buggah stay onolicious! I placed a piece of onion onto each bite of sandwich... Ahhh!!! Good thing I ate the sandwich at home - da ting is bomb-boo-cha!!! There is a LOT of filling... So much turkey! I was only able to eat one half and I saved the rest for later! Good luck to Anna and Cleston on your new adventures! Let's welcome the new owners of Hau'oli Sandwich Company in September 2022! read more

Follow them on Instagram to check out where they are located! I live in the Kaka'ako area, so I was happy that I was able to see that they were going to be there for lunch on Kapiolani and Cooke Streets. When I visited, there was no line luckily. There were two choices: 1) The Po'ipu: turkey, provolone, mayo, pesto, sundried tomatoes and house pickled onions. This they said is their most popular! 2) The Wailea: roast beef, provolone, horseradish spread, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, mushrooms and house pickled onions. Because I was picking up sandwiches for both me and my hubby, I just got one of each. For drinks, they offered lemongrass ginger lemonade, Liliko'i mango iced tea and bottled water. I opted for the liliko'i iced tea. I loved it because it was not too sweet and the perfect mix of lilikoi and mango. It would be tough to have to choose the lemonade over this iced tea next time!! The sandwiches were filling and stuffed with meat! For my sandwich (the Wailea), I wish they had put a little more of the bacon and mushroom topping and horseradish spread! I did love how much roast beef they put in it though. My hubby devoured his Po'ipu sandwich, but wished there were lettuce and tomatoes in his too. This sandwich reminded me of the turkey pesto panini from Starbucks (remember that one, guys??) Overall, I really enjoyed the sandwiches here and can't wait to go back for another. I am glad that I was finally able to catch them! Cheers to Hau'oli Sandwich Co! Welcome to the neighborhood. Hope to catch you in the Kaka'ako area more often! read more

This sandwich truck was recommended by a friend so I decided to stop by for lunch on a Saturday at Mother Waldron Park. They are at different locations throughout the week so check their Instagram to see where they will be at! We got to try the Wailea, Poipu, and their new Japanese-style Fruit Sandwich! Wailea - Roast Beef sandwich with delicious caramelized mushrooms, bacon, on their house Rosemary focaccia. Very delicious!! The bread was toasted to perfection and the portion size was good! Poipu - WOW! This one was my favorite. It's a turkey pesto sandwich with sundried tomato and house pickled onions. Their onions were to die for!!! I HIGHLY recommend this sandwich! Fruit Sandwich - Very soft bread with fresh strawberries and mango in between fluffy cream. Not too sweet which is what I liked so the fruits really shines through. A little messy, but definitely worth. It was a nice way to top off our meal! The owners were also super nice with amazing customer service! I'm so glad my friend recommended this place to me. I'll definitely be coming back. Tip: They open at 10:30am and we got there at 11:45ish right before the lunch rush. By 1pm they sold out! Definitely try to go early to make sure you nab a sandwich before they run out! read more

We were planning our son's first birthday, drive-by style (November 2021) and started looking into food truck options. We came across two write ups about Hau'oli Sandwich Co (Honolulu Magazine and the Star Advertiser). Found out they just launched in June 2021. Their food is DELICIOUS and we knew we wanted to support this small local business, while also giving our guests a unique drive-by party experience. One thing to note about planning a drive-by is making sure all the food stays fresh - we didn't have to worry about that at all with Hau'oli because they made all the sandwiches onsite as guests arrived (and they were extremely fast!). Communication between Anna & Cleston (the couple who owns and operates Hau'oli) was always friendly and responsive. We sorted out the details and were happy that they didn't need any power (they have a very good generator) or even water access for all the drinks we ordered (over 100 iced teas and lemonades). We just needed to provide a level surface for their truck to park. Super nice and easy to work with. On the day of our event, the guests were thrilled to see a food truck catering all the food, it was a fun surprise! Everyone raved about the sandwiches and drinks. We gave them an option of 3 sandwiches (Poipu, Haleiwa or Wailea) and 3 drinks (lilikoi mango iced tea, lemongrass ginger lemonade or bottled water), which they had to select in advance (since we gave Hau'oli the pre-orders 2 weeks before our event). Our drive-by was from 10 am to 2 pm and Hauoli was onsite from about 9 am to 3 pm. We would love to work with them again for our future events and highly recommend them to anyone wanting delicious food and a fun, unique experience for their guests!!! read more

I've been wanting a good sandwich for awhile now and today I found one. A friend recommended this place and since I took the day off from work I decided to try it out. Super cute food truck and good parking options close by. I scored a spot right behind them. Super stoked about that. I got the Po'ipū easy on the mayo. It was delish. I'm usually a hold the onions type of person but was intrigued by the homemade pickled onions they had in the sandwich. They were really good. Not oniony at all which I appreciated. The focaccia was warm ahh heaven and so so good. I would buy just that if they sold it. The bread wasn't too thick nor too thin it was just right and didn't fall apart while eating the sandwich which I feel can happen with focaccia sometimes. The flavor with the pesto and turkey and sun dried tomatoes and provolone was so good together. What may seem like a simple sandwich was really delicious. Oh and the iced tea was really good and refreshing too. Other than the paper straw. Lol Overall I'd definitely give this place two thumbs up. I'd like to try some of their other sandwiches and their chocolate chip cookie looked good too. Definitely glad I tried it. read more

I decided to try this food truck on my day off since some of my friends had good things to say about them . I found them in Bishop Street in a dark blue food truck . Today's menu had a Poi'pu (Turkey) sandwich, Kapa'a ( chicken salad) and a Hale'iwa (ham) sandwich. I decided on the Poi'pu and decided to add a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. I was greeted by a friendly lady in the window who took my order, and paid with my credit card. The cookies in the front counter looked so delicious. The gentleman inside made my sandwich within minutes and I was given my order with a warm,"thank you!!" Let me just say the sandwich was delicious. It was a good portion that I barely finished! Everything in the sandwich tasted fresh-the sun dried tomatoes and onions complimented the turkey well and had just the right amount of mayo and pesto sauce. I was stuffed after the sandwich but couldn't let the cookie go to waste. It was a good size and texture which I truly enjoyed, with just the right amount of chocolate chips! I will gladly visit this sandwich truck again the next time I am in that area. read more

Today the truck is at Cooke Street near Kawaiahao Street. The Napili sandwich is a great healthy choice with tofu and veggies but also full of flavor and a little spice read more
