    Love Okazuya and Mitsuba is one of my favorites. They open super early and they even have regular kine plates you can order off the menu. Don't forget to grab the sweet potato crumbles

    Regular Bento

    Open early mornings (2am) when you need a good meal other than fast food in Kalihi and youre working the early shift :( Been around forever, limited parking in front but service is fast so youre in and out. Known for their sweet potato fritters and okazu, I usually get a dozen fritters for the work crew and a bento for myself. Always gotta get side order of the cone sushi too... IYKYK 5 stars.

    Update on Mitsuba this morning I stopped by to get some Okazuya for my coworker. I ordered their famous Potato Crumble. If you haven't try this before it's a must . Made out of Okinawan sweet potato in a warm mini buttery turnover. I also ordered hot dog sushi and regular Maki sushi . Support local the best breakfast is Okazuya can't go wrong

    Cone sushi and garlic chicken
    Amy Y.

    A quick grab and go Okazuya stop located in Kalihi. Parking available in the front. Tried some simple items, Inari and garlic chicken. Inari was huge! The Inari was a bit overly marinated..very strong taste. Garlic chicken was ok, very salty as well. They put the chicken with the Inari so the sauce from the garlic chicken was soaked into the Inari...which was more saltier. It does open early in the morning..or maybe really late at night.

    Overall a decent place. The guy serving us was nice but a little gruff. The food was okay but not worth the price. If you're feeling nostalgic it's a good place, if you're looking for amazing food and good prices, try somewhere else.

    I stopped by while passing and it was about 9:20 am and it was already too late. They recommended I would need to come before 8 am to get the full menu. Nevertheless, I decided to get their chowfun and boiled hotdog and grilled hotdog and fried chicken. The hotdogs were acceptable and the chowfun was very tasty and the fried chicken was okay. The cashier was very nice so I would give them a 5 star. I will definitely have to try and stop by before 8 am next time.

    This Japanese delicatessen has the oddest hours of operation that I have ever seen with an opening time of 2:00 in the morning! There must be a healthy number of graveyard shift workers who work nearby that can patronize this business to maintain such a schedule. Parking was limited to several spaces in front of the deli which handles take-out orders only as there is no available on-site seating. We came here just before sunrise to get some food to eat while standing in line for the opening of a local attraction. There was no wait at all which was good for us. Hawaiian comfort food could be purchased a la carte or in combination as breakfast, plate lunches, or bentos. Many of the items were on display at the service counter. My friend ordered the hot dog sushi as an eight piece maki roll. Hot dog is not a protein I would have thought to use for sushi, but it's just another form of sausage to pair with rice. I picked a mini bento that had cold chow fun noodles as a base, one rice ball wrapped with dried seaweed, a piece of garlic fried chicken, a link of Portuguese sausage, and a slice of pickled daikon radish. The noodles were starchier than those of a traditional beef chow fun. The chicken was a bit over-fried because the meat was dry. The sausage contained mild spices that added some punch to the bento. The amount of food you received made the prices a decent value. For the late night owls or super early risers, Mitsuba Delicatessen offers a better choice than going to the drive thru of a fast food joint or making a pit stop at a 7-Eleven. I gave a 3.5 star rating for our experience at this okazuya.

    Okazuya in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... When a Yelper receives "Review Of The Day" (ROTD), it's quite a momentous occasion! I was extremely happy for my friend, Paul C., The Unofficial Mayor of Chinatown, when his review of Mitsuba Delicatessen was recognized on 11-27-22. My Lunch Buddy, Dear Daniel, had never been, so, I agreed to go with him at 5am on Wednesday (it's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays) because I needed to finish my review. He chose that time of morning because he didn't want to go all the way to Kalihi and have the hot dog sushi sold out. Plus - the parking... It's shared with the apartment building that's above Mitsuba. Yup... The parking lot is crowded. I actually wasn't thrilled about "hot dog sushi". I envisioned a plain hotdog surrounded by rice and covered in a layer of nori (seaweed). That's totally not what it is. Hold that thought... I'll come back to the hotdog sushi... Anyway, Daniel texted me at 4am - to make sure that I was going to be there. OMG... I asked Daniel why he needed me there because It's a takeout place anyway! Where would we eat? He doesn't usually eat that early in the day anyway! LOL! We met at 5am... All four of us! It was a nice surprise for Daniel and a wonderful celebration for Paul! It's a happy event when your friends show up and share your joy! Thanks, Peter and Daniel, for making Paul's ROTD come full circle! Back to the food: I ordered three maki sushi rolls for the ladies at church. I got the nishime and pork tofu for mom, and the eggplant, hamburger, fishcake, and cone sushi for breakfast. The hamburger was kind of dry. The fish cake had some hard spots. The moist cone sushi wasn't the best. The eggplant, nishime, pork tofu, and maki sushi were okay. Paul "highly encouraged" me to have a piece of hotdog sushi... WOW!!! Like he said... It was "life-changing"! The textures, colors, and flavors were popping! The Crunchy, yellow, pickled takuan (Dijon radish) with savory, soft, red hotdog, combined with white, sweet, sushi rice and the kick from the mustard was amazing! I wished that I had ordered one for myself! Aiyah! I guess I need to return... And maybe get garlic chicken and butterfish! P.S. the service was very friendly! The lady came out front to cut up and pack the freshly made rolls of sushi for us. The man seemed quite pleasant for such an early morning!

    chow funn, hamburger patty, sweet & sour pork and shoyu chicken

    It's scary how powerful an idea can be. Paul C was honored with a Review of the Day (ROTD) and a group chat I belong to was blowing up with congratulations messages to him. They were all talking about Mitsuba Delicatessen in the Kalihi area. I personally have never been there but their hotdog sushi struck my interest. Nadine C asked if anyone wanted to go and so the idea was planted. Too bad they were closed till Wednesday and Paul C's ROTD was on a Sunday. Time for the idea to simmer in the brain. Sure enough, I jumped at the chance to check them out. Paul C mentioned the selection gets slim the later it gets in the day so I suggested meeting there at 4am since they open at 2am but I'm so happy we met at 5am vs 4am. So, so early for food lol. When I arrived around 4:30am, the parking was packed and there was a line of people out the door! The lot is also shared with residents in the building so that could be a factor in limited available parking stalls. If you are in a rush and can't find parking in the private lot, you can street park on School St. It didn't take too long to secure a stall though and I waited for Nadine C to arrive. Sure enough, she arrived in a blink of an eye and I jumped in with her waiting for a stall for her vehicle. After she parked and while we stood in line, Peter Y drove by. I wasn't expecting anyone else. Shortly after that, Paul C swung by too! Wow! It's a party now! Nice morning surprise to celebrate Paul C's ROTD. Some people ahead of us bought a lot of items so several things were already out. One being the hotdog sushi which is one of the primary reasons I wanted to check them out. Paul C asked about availability and the kitchen made some for us! Lucky us! Maybe they made it specially per his request because they know he's the Mayor of Chinatown? The hotdog sushi comes with 2 rolls per order and they cut them up then place them in a clear plastic container by itself. They asked if I wanted anything else and of course I did! Especially this being my first time there. I ordered their chow funn, hamburger patty, sweet & sour pork and shoyu chicken. They were out of their sweet potato crumble but I would have also ordered that. After I ordered, everyone else did too. I was kinda regretting ordering first as all the items everyone else ordered sounded really good. Darn, I should have ordered the egg though to make the photo pop more lol. The cone sushi also looked good. Small regrets but it's ok. A good reason to come back again. As mentioned by several reviews, the price can add up for okazuya here. I was expecting it to be more than anticipated due to the rising cost of everything but my order being a little under $30 did shock me. The origin of Okazuya is affordable food items that are easy to eat at work for plantation workers. With that in mind, all good with the current cost trying this place out as you can't put a price tag on nostalgia. Congrats again on ROTD, Paul C!

    Really expensive now
    Maile K.

    I haven't been here in quite some time, and was flabbergasted at how much my bill was. See my photo Hot Dog Sushi x2 @ $5.50 a roll (One tray contains 2 rolls (8 pc)) Crab Maki Sushi @ $5.50 a roll (One tray contains 1 roll (8 pc)) 4 pieces of Shrimp Tempura @ $3.00/piece My bill $30.89. Holy inflation, Batman! I was under the impression that hotdogs were the cheapest food on the planet! Who knew they rank up there in price with canned tuna and Spam, nowadays! Everything tasted good, but not $30 good. May not be back anytime soon. Sorry. Gotta budget the coin.

    Okay first thing to say about my experience, location sucks!…read more Located next to other shops it was easy to pass by this small spot. I had to circle around to find the parking. Well there is enough parking in the back parking lot. But there's this security guard there. I asked if he's the parking attendant and he said I'm security. I asked where machetes is and he said that's in the front I only care about the back. So I guess that's his only job to watch the parking lot. And it's located across a homeless camp. So I can see why the need for parking security. Such a turn off! Upon entering machetes I was greeted. The worker asked if I was ready to order and I said just another minute as I wanted to look over the menu for what I wanted since it was my first time. The counter was covered in devices I guess a lot of people order from here. I ordered a turkey and salami sandwich. The worker then asked if I wanted it on the white or brown wheat bread. I chose wheat. While waiting I asked if they make their own bread and they do so I was impressed. The worker asked me, you say you didn't want tomatoes? Then I responded I want everything it supposed to come with. I thought I heard him say a second thing but wasn't sure and I was looking closer to the menu. I didn't realize you can add items to the sandwich for free. The worker then hands me the sandwich wrapped ready to go. I then said oh sorry can you add peppers, cucumbers and Italian vinaigrette. He did not look happy. I apologized saying sorry it was my first time. He said it was cool. Well proceed to pay. And he said have a nice day and I said thanks and left. Sandwich tasted amazing! Big portion! The wheat bread was so soft and light. Refreshing from all the vegetables. And moist from the vinaigrette. Although peppers were missing. Total for just the and sandwich was $13.40. Not a bad sandwich. Just a weird location and weird vibe. Don't forget that there are free addons and a list of them in a tiny section on the bottom of menu. They won't remind you it's there or offer it lol. I'd come back.

    What sets Machete's Mean Sandwiches a part? Their pillow soft bread that's baked fresh daily!…read more It's like a homestyle sandwich but their pillow soft bread takes it to the next level. This location is a small grab n' go situation. Parking can be tough in the area-- so I definitely suggest ordering online for pick up or delivery. I ordered their turkey, bacon, and avocado. Which also comes with lettuce, tomato, and I added cucumber to it for an extra fresh crunch. I ended up only eating half of my sandwich and then eating the other half hours later and it held up well! An awesome lunch choice, especially if you're on the go or possibly a great travel day sandwich. I had a great conversation with the guy behind the counter- super friendly staff. Just be warned, parking is tough and there's really no place to sit and eat your sandwich there.

We went with a couple of plates. Chicken wings, garlic shrimp and their homemade sliders. It wasn't that busy on a Monday night so the food was out pretty fast and we went back to the hotel to eat. The chicken wings were okay, seemed like they were a bit overcooked and on the smaller size. They lady at the front recommended their Polynesian sauce which is similar to an asian zing. It was okay and just used the ranch dipping sauce instead. The garlic shrimp was just not hitting. I didn't expect it to be like a local shrimp truck quality but it just didn't have enough of a garlic taste and was kind of bland. The sliders were my favorite of the 3 and we mopped that one quick!

    Here's a polished Yelp review that keeps your excitement while making it flow a bit better:…read more I'd been wanting to try Bocconcino for the longest time. Like everyone else, I kept seeing their viral Bolognese sandwich all over social media, but I always put it off because I'm not a fan of mortadella. I'm so glad I finally gave them a chance because everything exceeded my expectations. We ordered the Salsiccia & Funghi pizza, Ortolana pizza, Il Calabrese, and the Il Parma sandwich. When I say the Il Parma was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, I mean it. I was literally craving it the next day. The flavors were incredible, and the fresh prosciutto made all the difference. The staff was so friendly and patient, taking the time to answer questions and give great recommendations. While we waited, we got to watch them slice the prosciutto fresh and fire the pizzas in the wood-burning oven, which made the experience even better. They were also running an awesome special: $10 pizza slices that are absolutely massive, plus a complimentary non-alcoholic spritz that was super refreshing. The shop doubles as a little Italian market, and I was already eyeing a rosé balsamic vinegar to take home next time. Parking was easy right in front, and it's located in a very walkable neighborhood. I was honestly ready to come back the very next day, but they're closed on Sundays.

    The hot Bobbie and the classic Italian sandwich was tasty and meaty. The hot Bobbie sandwich was a…read morethanksgiving meal wrapped into a delicious sandwich, the bread was soft, and turkey was salty, the cranberry sauce was sweet and the breading just soaked up all those sweet and savory flavors and gave it the perfect transition mix. This shop is on the left side of Foodland. The small size sandwich was big enough for us. We were so full afterwards that was about to explode. The cashier was very friendly and nice, always kept her smile. There are many tables for 2-4 people inside. Mobile order is available to skip the line. Next time we have to go hiking or do lots of exercise to deserve such a calorific and delicious treat.

    Capriotti's in Honolulu delivers on fresh ingredients. The meats, cheese, and vegetables were all…read morefresh, tasty, and clearly high quality. The sandwich itself was satisfying, but it was missing one thing: flavor from seasoning. Everything tasted fresh, yet somewhat bland because there was little to no seasoning to bring the ingredients together. My biggest disappointment was the bread. Growing up with Capriotti's back in Delaware, the rolls were a huge part of what made the sandwiches special. The rolls at this location just aren't the same. They're soft and remind me more of the standard hoagie rolls you can pick up at a supermarket rather than the distinctive rolls I remember from back home. Overall, the ingredients are fresh and the service was good, but the lack of seasoning and the difference in the bread keep this from being the Capriotti's experience I was hoping for. Not a bad sandwich by any means, just not quite what I remember from Delaware.

    I'm glad that this business thrives despite all the road construction on Dillingham Blvd…read more Since I've been visiting this location I could swear there must have been atleast 4 new owners maybe. But today there was finally a price increase. I love their bread, but why these sandwiches when we can just make them ourselves at home? It probably tastes better when someone else makes them! Today was one of the busiest days I've seen this place get having to wait atleast 20 mins to get my order in. Only one person working . It's pretty much a clean establishment, added a few more tables to dine in. Maybe do a phone order next time! Enjoy!

    Yesterday I came in and ordered for the family. I thought it was OK but the price was good so I…read morefactored that into ordering again. Today 3/1/15 I go back to do our weekend order and the prices increased!! I wish they gave notice like other places so it's not a surprise! Now my weekend order cost $15 more when I could have just ordered it with my yesterday order if I had known. So irritated at that. Second, I was waiting for 30+ minutes and I'm getting antsy. I figure I'll go outside. I let her know I'll be back and she says oh your order is right there. Ugh!!! I hate that. If a customer is waiting for their order why can't you just tell me it's ready?????!!!! Horrible customer service on top of the normal sandwich for $12-15 now. I won't be back. Yesterday's service was good though. The two afternoon workers on 2/28/25 were good. Very friendly greeting. And while I was waiting I took a work call so went outside. The guy brought it out to me. Now that's customer service and why the 3 stars. Today was 1 star service. And again the sandwiches are ok. And now the prices are the same as others so not worth it to me anymore. And I just opened it and they're on white not cracked wheat bread. I don't think the person asked me today.

    The pastries and cake here are consistently tasty! This Dean & Deluca location is in Waikiki,…read morespecifically on the first floor of the Ritz Carlton. The interior of the store is bright, clean, and luxe, and the left side features a deli section while the right side is for ordering coffee, tea, and pastries. There's a lot of small items that they sell on the shelves, such as jams, snacks, and branded tote bags. Service is generally pretty friendly and quick! My favorite thing to get from this location is their mont blanc, which is light and fluffy with small chocolate bits interspersed throughout. I've tried their latte and mochas before, which are decent but somewhat expensive. I wish they sold cake slices at this location (can be found at the Dean and Deluca in Ward), but otherwise there's a decent selection of pastries available on a daily basis. Will have to come back to try their afternoon tea!

Lots of merchandise, pastries, sandwiches, coffee, etc. It is a 5 course tea menu with 2 choices of various teas! The service is thorough in explaining all the teas plus the courses! Course 1: house-baked petit raisin scone was very PETIT and dry Course 2: Okinawan Sweet Potato Vichyssoise not my favorite Course 3: house baked Kona Baguette (don't know why it was called Kona); Herb beet & Manchego Bruschetta roasted beets chopped up on a house baked raisin bread with a manchego cheese crisp; Truffle cauliflower mouse, saffron gelee topped with braised octopus This was the weirdest dish I ever had and could not finish it!Smoked Salmon egg crepe topped with ikura; Tandoori chicken curry focaccia was ok; Beef Tartare on top of a phyllo nest with a poached Quail Egg was nice. Course 4: Velvet Cream Cheese with Peach Jelly; Sakura Mont Blanc tart; Honoka'a dark chocolate cake was rich and decadent; I liked the Pavlova (crispy French meringue) with raspberry coulis, raspberry and whipped cream; I also liked the raspberry pistachio entremet with the raspberry mousse! Course 5: did not enjoy the pineapple sobert flavored with li hing! Be sure to get the $5 off Kamaina Discount! Complimentary 3 hour valet parking!
