Chicken Caesar Wrap
Olivier E.

If you ever want to find the best salad wraps in downtown, I feel like you should make your way to the Pioneer Plaza where Heidi's Delis and Bistro is located. Its right next to the entrance of the building on Merchant Street. Heidi's offer a variety of fresh salads, soups, sandwiches and wraps. They also offer breakfast omelette and a variety of special that are displayed right in front of their shop. My go to is always their chicken Caesar salad wrap. Their Caesar wrap is so good that I could practically eat it every day. What makes it really good is their Caesar dressing. It so creamy and just had the right flavor that makes a Caesar salad great. And because it's in a wrap form, I can basically eat it in a wrap... get it? I don't have to hassle with finding a place to sit and eat my salad. I've also tried their pastrami sandwich. They give a nice amount of pastrami and it's tied perfectly with a nice amount of sauerkraut and cheese. The sauerkraut gives it a nice amount of acidity to the pastrami. Pre COVID, you were allowed to sit in the seats fronting the shop, but it does get busy during lunch hours as the seating are are shared with the surrounding eateries in the lobby of the Pioneer Plaza. The staff are quick when making your order so you're not really waiting for a while waiting for your meal. Definitely a great place to get a quick bite.

Great sandwiches and hot breakfasts. Sweet, hard working owners are kind and sweet, AND have kept their prices really low for decades. Try a muffin top. They are delicious !!

A few blocks away from my office and hidden in a little food alley in the pioneer plaza, I stumbled across this little shop serving soups, sandwiches and salads. My friend wanted to go here because she used to like their salads. I ordered their soup and sandwich special for under $8. It came with a tuna melt Panini. The bread was toasted crisp, with tuna, cheese and tomatoes. Don't expect a lot of filling but surprisingly, the Panini itself filled me up. I tried the clam chowder which was good but a little too watery for a chowder. I loved the chunks of potatoes in there though. My friend ordered her salad, half Caesar and half greek. She ate the greek salad and enjoyed it but did not care for the sour tasting Caesar. :-( All in all, it was a mixed bag. But if I were in the area again, I'd give them another try. The staff was friendly and very quick (I'd give them 4 stars).

Pastrami with sauerkraut and cheese, and brownie.

If you're old enough and work in downtown Honolulu, you remember when there was a Heidi's in what was then called Grosvenor Center facing Queen Street and one in Bishop Square. The one in Pioneer Plaza is the last one standing. They offer sandwiches, salads and some baked goods like scones and brownies. I come here occasionally for a pastrami sandwich with sauerkraut and cheese. it's a savory, salty, sour mess and oh, so good! You can get a pastrami sandwich elsewhere downtown (like Aloha Subs and This is It Too) but this may be the only place to get it with sauerkraut. Enjoy!

I passed by this place many, many times and it seemed like 10 years ago or more passed during that time. But, I never really stopped and to really look on their menu as to what they have to offer. They have some delicious sandwiches that is made fresh as you watch and wait for them to complete your masterpiece in a very short while. I paid for it and I decided to try it right away as it was hot and juicy! I tried it and it was good. It would be better if it came with a dill pickle as that would make it great! When I am in the area again during work time. I will try another one of their delicious sandwiches that they have to offer and I will see if they sell a dill pickle separately. Some places it comes with it automatically and some you have to purchase it separately. There is a lot of food places on the ground floor in the Pioneer Plaza building of 900 Fort Street Mall and there is a 7-11 added recently to here on the outside corner of Merchant Street side of the building. If you haven't been here already you are definitely missing out on a lot of good food places to eat at.

Tried the earl cheesesteak today and it was outstanding! Loaded up with a half lb of rib eye,…read moreonion, and peppers. The sandwich is $20 and with that amount of rib eye it's not a bad deal! I would add a touch more salt to the meat but overall very good. I've had some variations of chicken parm here and they have tasted amazing but between the crispy chicken and crusty bread it's like taking sandpaper to your gums. The heat and moisture from the cheesesteak really softens the bread and allowed it to shine. So if you're having a hard time with the bread like me, give the cheesesteak a try. The waffle fries are really good too!

Really disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken chipotle cheesesteak and it was honestly one…read moreof the worst subs I've had. I grew up on the east coast and that sure did not taste like an east coast chicken cheesesteak. The sandwich wasn't put together properly, so everything kept falling out while I was trying to eat it. The grilled peppers were barely even cut up, some were basically huge slices or half a pepper instead of being chopped into pieces that actually fit in a sandwich. On top of that, there was so much grease or butter that it soaked completely through the bread and turned it into a mushy mess. Between the soggy bread, oversized peppers, and filling constantly falling everywhere, it was almost impossible to eat. I got so frustrated that I eventually wrapped the sandwich back up, threw it in the trash and walked out. I ended up walking over to Moku happy hour instead, where I had an appetizer a full meal, and dessert for only about $2 more than this one sandwich cost me. That really put the price and quality into perspective. Definitely not worth it and I won't be ordering this again. Should have asked for my money back!

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 are offering different kinds 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 terrific and onolicious!! We devoured it so fast, I can't remember what else was in it other than it was so freakin awesome! -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 so so Ono!!!

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.

About 10 minutes before my 2:00 PM pickup time, I received a text letting me know my order was ready, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the IL Parma sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. At $24, it's definitely on the expensive side for a sandwich, but the quality of the ingredients and the freshness made it worth every penny. The flavors were fantastic, and I didn't mind paying the premium price after taking that first bite. Parking can be a little tricky. I'm not sure whether customers are allowed to use the Hana Koa parking lot for quick pickups, but a kind employee allowed me to park there while I ran in to grab my order. There are only a few parking spaces directly in front of Bocconcino, so that's something to keep in mind. There's some tables under a covered area, right next to the store. Many people were seated there talking story and enjoying drinks. Overall, a great experience and an excellent sandwich. I'll definitely be back for another Italian sandwich!

My husband and I were in the area and decided to try Little G Cafe after seeing all the positive…read moreYelp reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.

They have some creative other slices like vodka sauce with pesto etc which are tasty but if you're a pizza purist and lover you can't go wrong with two cheese slices. There aren't much frills so you can have water or soda from their mini fridge. Almost like going to a corner pizza place in the city. Sandwiches available sometimes. We go early for lunch on Sundays and grab a seat outside. The proprietor was especially kind and friendly to my FIL and I appreciated that. Overall this is the second best NY style pizza place after black shamrock by a small margin - the Jersey pie at shamrock with its awesome sauce and perfect crust is hard to beat but don't think you can order it by the slice. So very very close.
