Katsu Sando 808!! Love their sandwiches for a filling Japanese meal at the farmer's market. The chicken katsu was super juicy and flavorful, the cabbage well seasoned, the bread soft and fluffy. One of the best on island and worth it. Support this small business! read more

I'd give this food truck kiosk a solid 3.5 stars for their katsu sandwich at the Kakaako farmers market. The sandwich is hearty and made with very fresh bread. I actually prefer it to the one at Nana Ai in Kaimuki. It's a great sandwich that tastes exactly as you'd expect. However, since we've had it a few times, we'll probably try something more unique on our next visit. read more

The cashier was nice and friendly. I meant to grab one sandwich for us to try but saw the specials sign and got the Portobello Mushroom Sando too. I'm prefer my veggies so I preferred the Mushroom sandwich I had the whole thing for dinner) but the Pork sando was ok. It's a lot of meat but like I said, I'm more of a veggie person. read more

Had it from the food truck outside of Patagonia for a Friends of Kewalos event, and it was pretty good! I shared a portabello katsu and a pork katsu sandwich (not pictured) and both were fried well with soft bread. The pork was a bit dry at times, and the sauce was standard delicious katsu sauce. The portabello katsu was well balanced with the toppings and the mushroom was cooked perfectly! Service was quick and polite and the owners were working hard! read more

I've been waiting a long time to try them during my visits to O'ahu, and I'm glad I did! Not only did I get to try their classic katsu flavor, but their new Spam Katsu as well!

Always a great choice at Katsu Sando! I've only tried this at the Kakaako Farmers Marker on Saturdays so not sure where else they might pop up. I was originally hooked with the chicken katsu Sando but I also got a chance to try the tonkatsu, portabello special, and the corned beef hash special. All were super tasty! The fry on these baddies are perfection with the ultra soft bread. The only junk thing sometimes is the wait can be long because everyone knows how good it is here! Good things take time and it's definitely worth the wait! read more

Got to try them out at the Kakaako farmers market. We ordered the burger and chicken katsu with egg (this week's special). The burger was good and the patty was cooked well but the sauce was a little strange for us. While we finished the burger, we wouldn't order again. The sandwich was very hearty. The chicken katsu was so tender and even with the egg salad and the drive home, the chicken managed to stay pretty crispy. The bread was amazing and definitely the highlight of the sandwich. My only complaint is that this sandwich wasn't seasoned well and was pretty bland. Even just a little salt would go a long way. Despite this, I'd still gladly order this again and season it to my liking. read more

1. I was greeted with horrible customer service. She need some lessons on better customer service. 2. She took my order and I waited at least 15-20 minutes or so for a portabello mushroom sandwich. Geez, How long does it take to make a sandwich? 3. There were at least 7-8 people AFTER me and they all got their order before me and I was the last to get mine. I feel like she forgot to put in my order or not 4. However...I must say that the sandwich was pretty good read more

Over excited bud: "So what did you think of the katsu sando?" Me reading a random story on CNBC: "It was alright". Over excited bud: "You didn't love how perfectly cooked the katsu was"? Me channel surfing the mundane midday shows: "It was alright, a little burnt". Over excited bud: "You didn't appreciate they cut off the crust or their tasty sauce"? Me playing Angry Birds: "It was alright. The bread still had some crust and was day old and the sauce unevenly spread but..." Bud: "Let me guess; alright. Who are you Matthew McConaughey with your alright, alright, alright???" Me trying to find a matching sock: "It was just alright. It's food truck food from a farmers market. You're hungry, it satisfies. It is what it is. Alright". Fairly priced; $10. Friendly service. read more

Katsu Sando 808 - Chicken katsu sando - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is one of the best things you can get at the Kakaako farmers market on Saturday mornings. A thick piece of tonkatsu (fried pork breaded in panko) paired with shredded cabbage and just the right amount of tonkatsu sauce, all sandwiched between soft Japanese bread. The pork is juicy and cooked almost perfectly. Pros: -Taste is so close to Katsu Sandos you get in Japan -Cost is reasonable ($12) -Able to preorder Cons: -Only available on Saturday 8am to 12pm in the farmers market Already craving this again... Go try it! read more

So a couple weeks ago one of my friends from work brought me a chicken katsu sandwich. So I had the craving today and decided to stop by and check out the menu. The price is between the seemed like the middle-higher side but don't be intimidated the sandwiches worth the price.... and Yes it is a little extreme but the katsu sandwich was so good last time that I had to sample everything soooooo...... I got the Tonkatsu sando, chicken katsu sando, wagu menchi katsu burger, curry fries , and furikaki fries. They were all good and I like how there is the light breaded katsu layer while the fries were good too. We will be back and my other friends from work will be stopping by since the all said it smelled amazing l. read more

This is our 2nd time purchasing from this food truck at Kakaako Farmers Market, very consistent and same as 1st time. Ordered the portabello sando, pork katsu sando, egg salad and furikake fries. All was amazing, the pork is juicy & thick (not tough) and great sauce, portabello is thick & meaty. Furikake fries amazes me how they get the furikake to stick to the fries, also ordered extray crispy and got that. Love the bread they use. Be prepared to wait for your order at least 10-15 min as they prepare it as you order, but so worth the wait. You will love the fresh made to order sando. Highly suggest to stop and try their sando's. read more

Oh they just had me at fries *_*; was just in a grazing mood and how can you not try curry fries!? Well I didn't because I think I got the wrong order because it was furikake :( and they were busy it took awhile so I didn't want to dispute it. How was it ohhh yummy of course!! Portion size is huge made to order fresh hot fries filled the take out hamburger box all coated in furikake and came with a yummy zesty sauce I just couldn't get enough of omg! Definitely going back to try the curry fries (pray for me to have another Saturday off) because I absolutely loved it...thank you!! read more

Took me a while to finally try this place and what the heck took me so long. The katsu sando here is delicious. The tonkatsu is thick and nicely breaded paired with a layer of cabbage and between two slices of shokupan. The katsu burger was also tender and juicy and so good. But the most surprising winner of this food truck is the fries. I prefer the furikake fries over the curry fries but they are both crunchy and packed with flavor. It is a little pricy and there is almost always a line but I think it is definitely worth checking out. I've stopped by on Saturdays and the Kaka'ako farmer's market but check out their instagram to see their other locations. read more

Who doesn't love farmers' markets? Such a mix of different vendors coming together to provide for the community and vice versa, the community supporting local vendors! I've never been to the Kakaako Farmers Market and the number one reason I decided to finally go was to try the Tonkatsu Sandwich at Katsu Sando 808. I've been seeing it on social media and wanted to see what the hype was about. Writing this today, I've been to the Kakaako Farmer's Market a bunch of times now and have definitely brought some of my friends along to try the IG famous katsu sandwiches. Depending on the time you go, the line could be very long or no line at all at Katsu Sando 808. The farmer's market runs through 9am - 12pm and I've notice that towards noon, the line isn't as long. Don't go too late, or they will run out. I've only tried their tonkatsu sandwich, which is the pork katsu, but I do plan on trying their chicken katsu sandwich. Their tonkatsu sandwich is very moist and has the perfect crisp. It comes between two fluffy slices of crustless Japanese bread and a helping of shredded cabbage mixed with katsu sauce. At first place, it doesn't really look like a huge sandwich, but their tonkatsu is thick and makes for a really nice snack. Highly recommend if ever at the Kakaako Farmer's Market! read more

Been seeing tonkatsu sandwiches all over social media so I decided to check this place out. It was my first time going to Kakaako farmer market and it was a lot bigger than I expected. Their food truck was at the corner end of the market if you walk from the parking lot near Ward Theatre. For my first order, I tried 'Chicken Katsu Sando,' and 'Wagyu Menchi Katsu Burger.' They were so good that I came by again the next Saturday and tried the 'Tonkatsu Sando.' Chicken Katsu Sando: Such a good sandwich. The chicken katsu was crispy and crunchy. The breading was not oily. The chicken meat was juicy. The sauce and the the cabbages were light so it doesn't overpower the flavor of the meat. Wagyu Burger: A good burger. The size was bigger than I expected so after eating the chicken sandwich, I was already pretty full. The meat was juicy and flavorful. Inside the patty was cheese. The sauce was sweet tonkatsu sauce. Tonkatsu (pork) Sando: This sandwich looks just like the chicken but just different meat. Compared this with the chicken, I prefer the chicken katsu sando. This was still good though, just the meat was on the chewier side. Overall, a very good katsu sandwich place. I went around at 10:00 and waited no more than 10 minutes for my order. The employees were also very friendly. read more

Saw this place at the Kaka'ako farmers market and stopped by to try out their katsu sandwiches. First look was pretty unassuming but the first bite was amazing! The pork was nice and juicy and the flavors were perfectly balanced between the savory, sweet, and tangy notes. Will for sure get again the next time I visit the farmers market! read more

Katsu Sando 808 - Pork katsu sando - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I just had their tonkatsu sandwich. I thought it was good, but probably not worth waiting 20 or 30 minutes for. The bread was the good Japanese soft bread. The katsu was good, not dry. What it needed was more sauce or something. It tasted exactly like what you would expect but still, it was missing something. I eat this type of sandwich all the time in Japan, and I know it's not going to be the same, but maybe if there was more sauce? The size of the sandwich was fine. It looked a little small, but once you finish it, it was filling. Glad they are doing good business! Worth trying, but maybe not if the line is too long. read more

Katsu Sandos recently became a big favorite of mine and I love how I can easily get my fix at Kakaako Farmers Market (if I can get up early enough) It's such a simple concept but at Katsu Sando 808, they make it super juicy and thicc that it makes you keep coming back for more. I really love the bread they use; soft and fluffy to balance out the crispiness of the meat. It comes out relatively quick for the demand they have to meet: 15-20 minutes but I usually walk around anyways and order from other vendors. I've only ordered their pork tonkatsu sandwiches but I definitely want to try their chicken katsu and the egg salad sandwiches! Apparently the egg salad ones sell out fast so now I'm very intrigued....and for the prices, it's not too bad! read more

Katsu Sando 808 - Pork Tonkatsu Sandwich (yum) - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Tonkatsu Sando--I've always heard lots of good things about but haven't had the chance to try them until now...and it was so worth it! For $10, you get two chunky pieces of their juicy n' crispy pork katsu in between soft shokupan bread. I also loved how finger-lickin' good the tangy sauce was! I was surprised by how the breading wasn't soggy considering how generous they were with the sauce! Portobello Sando--This one is for all you 'shroom lovers out there! I was skeptical at first but my friend convinced me to try it, and I must say there were no regrets! The portobello mushroom had an incredible bite and chew, paired with a wonderful umami flavor! The katsu batter was also really airy and light, adding a welcomed crispy touch, to the otherwise pillowy soft bread. Overall, I enjoyed the Portobello Katsu Sando as much as their Tonkatsu Katsu Sando read more

Made to order Katsu Sandos!? Sign me up!! This pop-up shop is located at the Kakaako Farmer's Market. This farmer's market is a bit hidden. It's located across the street from the Starbucks on Ward's parking lot! This place only has 3 things on their menu: 1. Tonkatsu Sando ($10), 2. Chicken Katsu Sando ($9), & 3. Japanese Egg Salad Sando ($5). I came with a friend and decided to get one chicken katsu sando and one tonkatsu sando. The first thing I noticed was, they only use the best bread from Epi-Ya! (IYKYK!) The second thing I noticed was, each sandwich is made to order! Definitely getting a freshly fried chicken/pork filet! In the meantime, they cut off the crust of the Japanese white bread and a bed of thinly shredded cabbage with either tonkatsu sauce (on the tonkatsu sandwich) and a spicy mayo on the chicken katsu sandwich. We walked around the farmers market for around 10-15 minutes before returning. Within a couple minutes of returning, our order was ready!!! We couldn't wait to taste it!! I must say, both sandwiches were JUICYY!! The bread was soooo soft and didn't get soggy at all! The cabbage was crispy and the sauce was tangy. Definitely, was taken back to katsu sandos in Japan! I was so sad when I returned to the Kakaako Farmer's Market the following week and they weren't there! I was really looking forward to getting my hands on another sandwich! Follow them on IG for updates! I'm thinking they aren't going to be the farmers market due to the COVID-19. :( read more

Katsu Sando 808 - Top: Chicken Sando, Bottom: Pork Sando - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Katsu sando has been open a few weeks now. I attempted to go on the second week of opening in which I heard they sold out pretty quick (an hour) on their first week which is amazing since this is a lunch item that sold out at approximately 9 am! Do note to bring cash. Which is why I'm giving this 4 stars. It's 2020 and cash only ... (face palm) well maybe I'm partially annoyed because I had to drive all the way home to get cash and drive all the way back (I don't have a atm bank card,btw) Prices are moderate and no more than 10$ each. I tried the tonkatsu and egg salad. The tonkatsu was the best. The egg salad was just ok i kinda don't like relishy stuff in my egg salad so that could have been why I didn't care for it. I took my food to go but they don't have proper containers for it. They put plastic wrap over it and it barely sticked. They're also located in the kakaako farmers market in Saturday's only. However, this could change due to corona virus and everything is shutting down. There is also ample parking in their garage or the lot right next to it. If you can't find the place just use ohana market place as an guide to where it is. Because it's just right across from it in a empty lot. Just look for all the tents. read more

A food truck in Kaka'ako's farmers market, offering made to order katsu sando (sando means "sandwiches" in Japanese) and egg salad sandwiches. My husband's go to is the pork katsu sando, I liked it too. But recently I discovered the chicken katsu sando, that has became my new favorite! The chicken one has a little spicy kick which I love, and I think chicken katsu is more tender than the pork. We have yet to try their egg sando because it always sold out by the time we got there(normally 9:30am-ish), but we were told you can reserve it via their website or IG for pre-order. There's no place for you to eat at the scene, so we always take it to the outdoor seating area at Ward village to enjoy them! read more

The Wagyu Menchi Katsu from here was out of this world. The meat was super soft, juicy/flavorful and held together well. The bold Japanese mustard flavors really helped the wagyu menchi katsu shine. The chicken katsu sando was also good but I think I'm team tonkatsu over chicken katsu. I did enjoy the super duper soft and fluffy shokupan that they used, and think they put the perfect amount of tonkatsu sauce so that it wasn't too salty or sweet. read more

Katsu Sando 808 - chicken katsu sando $10 - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Gave in to the hype and got myself a tonkatsu sando at the Saturday Kaka'ako farmers market. After a quick Google search I found out that you can do a pre-order and pick up through a link on their Instagram page, very convenient compared to standing in line. Also, be aware that they are cash only! Hopefully they expand to accept card payments in the future. I want to say that I lucked out because I've seen and read other reviews where the tonkatsu is smaller than the bread but you can obviously see that wasn't the case for me lol. Although the crust wasn't fully cut off from my sando, the bread was so soft and fluffy that I felt the need to hold the sando carefully with each bite. At first glance the tonkatsu seems dry but rest assured that that was not the case (I waited til I drove home so I didn't take the picture or eat it right away as other people suggested). The pork cutlet was both beautifully thick and juicy, the katsu sauce was satisfyingly tangy, and I'm sure the cabbage would've been just slightly crunchier had I eaten it right away. Here I was thinking I could eat half for breakfast and the other half for lunch but I promise that you will not be able to have that willpower because I gave in immediately lol. They offer other varieties but I would definitely come back for this one again! read more

Katsu Sando 808 - Tonkatsu sando - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place made me addicted to katsu. Most of my coworkers think katsu is my favorite food because of how much I go here. I try to get my katsu sando fix once a week. They are at Kakaako Farmer's Market every Saturday, from 8AM-12PM (located at the back art wall!) Most days, they start selling out around 10/11AM so I try to do my preorder online. They make the best katsu sandos out of every place I have tried so far on the island. If you have base access, they're also on base! But I'm not lucky enough to have access. The workers are the sweetest and we usually talk story if they aren't too busy. The line forms pretty quickly though. It's worth the wait! I've tried pretty much their whole menu. My fav bounces in between the chicken or the pork. Their pillowy soft bread is from Epi-Ya which is another place I love. The chicken is usually more consistent in terms of size, however the pork can sometimes be thicker/juicier than other days. No matter what, I'm always happy to get both! The menchi katsu burger is stuffed with cheese in the middle. Delicious! And the egg sando is always the first to sell out. They offer specials sometimes such as the portobello mushroom katsu sando and spam katsu sliders. Make sure to check their IG @katsusando808 for updates. They usually post their specials on Thursdays or Fridays from what I've noticed. The specials cannot be preordered, so get there early if you want them! I'll continue to get my fix almost every weekend... maybe it's a good thing that I don't have base access... read more

Hm, I thought I reviewed this business before....but, this seems to be the official and claimed business page. As regulars to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market, we started to check out this food stall since late May 2020 . Almost every Saturday morning, we've come by to pick up either a tonkatsu (pork cutlet) or torikatsu (chicken cutlet) sandwich. The Katsu Sando 808 stall is located at the far West end of this farmers market , near the corner of Ward Avenue and Ala Moana Boulevard. Knowing that Katsu Sando 808 specializes in 4 items only, we predetermined our order to be: 1- Tonkatsu (pork) Sando $10 and 2-Chicken Katsu Sando $9. Also, we were prepared with CASH to pay for our purchase as this stand only accepts the bucks, moolah, or kālā. NO PLASTIC cards! During this pandemic, everyone who is either a customer or vendor at the famers market is required to PROPERLY wear a face mask. Also, social distancing is encouraged and often enforced while you wait in line. We noticed how clean and well-organized their food stand is with its set up with one woman managing the orders and cash, two guys manning the fryers and one guy assembling the sandwiches. After paying for our order, we were informed that there would be a wait as they bread with panko and fry the cutlets (chicken or pork) to order. It was such a hot and sunny Saturday morning and the cashier invited us to enjoy the shade under the tent while we waited. I told my husband that I wanted to check out other vendors while he waited for our food and I wandered off to get kūlolo or haupia. After getting the haupia, I returned in time to meet up with my husband who just received our takeout. FOOD: -Tonkatsu (pork) Sando: A flavorful, tender, and perfectly breaded and fried 1/2" thick pork cutlet was sandwiched between 2 fluffy slices of Japanese white bread. Of course, the bread crusts were cut off to emphasize the uniformity of the bread shape and promote convenience. The sandwich maker laid a layer of freshly shaved cabbage on one side of the bread then laid the tonkatsu atop followed by a squeeze of tonkatsu sauce. He cut the sandwich in half before gently putting it into the takeout container. I was unnecessarily worried that the tonkatsu sauce would have made the bread and tonkatsu soggy as it DID NOT as we took our sandwiches home to eat. $10 -Chicken Katsu Sando: The chicken katsu (cutlet) was also evenly breaded with panko. It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Unlike the Tonkatsu Sando, there was a spicy aïoli or mayonnaise that gently moistened the bread and kicked up the flavor of the fried chicken cutlet. Again, the Japanese white bread had its crust removed which made for a pillowy bed or pocket for the airy and crisp katsu. $9 We waited about 15 minutes before we got our freshly-cooked sandwiches. Luckily, we were able to enjoy the shade under their tent while waiting. I think we were fortunate to have gotten to this vendor at 9 a.m. during our current Stay At Home Orders as we were waiting, a long line formed. Now, we're looking forward to seeing Katsu Sando this coming Saturday because we're interested in trying their other 2 menu items (Korokke or croquette and Egg Salad Sando). We'll be back! read more

I wanted to try this place out at the kakaako farmers market after seeing how popular it was. It definitely did not disappoint! When we ordered our food (around 11:00) there were only about two items that were sold out by then. Luckily, the tonkatsu sandwich was still available! I am still thinking about this sandwich hours after I ate it lol. The bread was so soft & it paired so nicely with the crunchy and super tender pork. We also tried the furikake fries (not pictured lol) and they were also pretty good-the sauce was delicious. Overall very good & delicious, good price!!, & i can't wait to eat it again:) read more

Not sure with these new places creating their pork katsu sando. There is also Coco Bloom on waialae. These places just don't hit the spot. - dry meat - thick and not flavorful - has sections of fat that don't melt in your mouth rather it is hard and crunchy You want a really good Katsu Sando stick with Ginza Bairin. Price is comparable but flavor is definitely not. Stick with Ginza Bairin. read more

Katsu Sando 808 - Pork Katsu Sando - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Was so excited to try these sando! Especially having the ones from Japan! Got these sandwiches from the farmers market location by ward. Order to pick up was really fast like too fast. Had the katsu sando and egg sando. The price was okay. First maybe I had really high expectations but my katsu sando had soft crustless bread which was good! But the katsu itself tasted very dry and overcooked. It was kind of tough and chewy. The katsu breading wasn't crispy, but soggy, not sure if it was just sitting covered in the katsu sauce, and if it was pre-made? Hence how I got my food so fast after my order. The egg sando was very disappointing. No flavor and super dry and clumpy. I've had way better egg sandwhichs from gas stations.... but it seemed to have no filling just appeared to have a boiled egg chopped up and shoved in two pieces of bread. Not sure if they were having an off day or something. read more

Katsu Sando 808 - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

After seeing multiple posts about this place from my foodie friends on my Instagram feed, I knew I had to include this place as a stop during my most recent visit to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. Katsu Sando's truck is parked at the Ewa/parking lot end of the farmer's market. Can't miss the white truck with a white pop-up tent in front. The staff have an efficient system going- place your order at the white pop up tent with the cashier, the runner will hand your order to the cooks at the tent, and the runner will run for your order and hand it to you. Everything is made to order, and my order took about 10-15 minutes to finish during the mid-morning hour. 1. Chicken katsu sando ($9): super juicy interior and crispy exterior with a savory katsu sauce. Sandwiched between two fluffy/pillowy pieces of Japanese bread, it's bliss. 2. Tonkatsu sando ($10): also juicy interior and crispy exterior. This one is def more savory, given that 'ton' in tonkatsu means 'meat.' Best sandos I've had on island so far. Looking forward to trying the wagyu menchi katsu burger, furikake fries, and curry aioli fries next time! read more

As much as I enjoyed the Tonkatsu itself, the $10 price for this sandwich was a little steep. Presentation is beautiful and appetizing. I believe I got the last order available the day I went which speaks to how fast they sell out at the Kaka'ako Farmer's Market. The one item that pulled the experience down for me was their bread. To me it tasted like plain, local grocery store bread where as my expectation was for fluffy flavorful Japanese style bread. When the main ingredients of the order was the Tonkatsu and bread, I just expected a little more from this $10 sandwich. Maybe I hyped it up a little too much for myself... I just remember coming out of the experience thinking it was good but I wouldn't spend that much money on it again. read more

Stopped by a while back during the Kaka'ako Farmer's Market and had their signature Tonkatsu Sando. The pork cutlet was thick and juicy with a nice coating.

Found this sweet gem outside of the Hickam exchange (near the parking lot). I was on my way to grab a sandwich from Subway when I noticed the food truck outside. I've always been a fan of Japanese sandwiches, specifically for the Uber soft bread! The menu is quite simple. I've enclosed a picture of it and it's literally all of the menu items the truck offers. I ordered the chicken Katsu Sando and was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the bread soft, the Katsu was crispy and warm and was far from oily. The sauce they used was delicious and complicated everything within the sandwich nicely. Very delicious! I will be stopping by again to try out their wagyu menchi katsu burger! Great customer service and their truck is very well kept! read more
