I'm from Jersey and when I tell you we have competition with this place, I'm not joking. I got the Philly Cheesesteak and the bread was crispy and the cheese was perfectly melted. And the steak was seasoned to perfection. The service was excellent. The restaurant looked like my local sub shop back home but with a costal twist. I would come here again in a heartbeat. The ambiance was amazing. I would come here again next vacation. 10/10 read more

Ohana Sub Aiea - My sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Nice sub shop in aiea, Pearl Kai. They've got hot subs, açaí bowls, cold sandwiches and more. I got the Philly cheesesteak, half for $15 around. It wasn't bad, and I got it toasted. Veggies tastes fresh and crisp. Definitely good in a pinch, but call in your order ahead. Will need to try their acai bowl next! read more

So I don't know what happened to this place. They were my go to sub shop in the Pearl City/Aiea area but for some reason the quality of sandwich has just gone down. Could be new management or new employees that havent been trained properly but the prices of sandwich have gone up while the amount of meats has gone down. The used to give you a loaded sandwich that could fill you up on the meat alone, but now I feel like I'm just eating bread with a side of meat and sauce, even the veggies were very stingy it feels. It seems the Wahaiwa location is still doing it the same so I really hope the quality goes back up.... I would hate to stop going to this spot in particular. read more

The sandwiches are good but the customer service is terrible! And in Hawai'i, terrible customer service will STOP loyal customers from coming back. Let's be honest, there's a lot of sandwich shops around the island. The older lady that answers the phone and works at the register is rude. They should probably play some music in the store to set a better ambiance. read more

Have been a BIG fan of Ohana Subs since discovering the Wahiawa location about two months ago. Ordered my favorite Italiano with all the veggies, Italian dressing and Pepperoncinni. Glad to say this is just as good as the one from Ohana Wahiawa. This half sub is huge too! Consistency of food prep is really important. Always great service and awesome AC! Mahalo Ohana Subs! read more

My partner and I came for a late lunch after visiting Pearl Harbor. The place was pretty empty. There's an impressive variety of sandwiches on the chalk board. We each had a sub - I got the tuna and my partner got one with cold cut and cheese. We each got the wheat bread. The bread was really thick and pretty flavorless. We didn't think it added anything to the meal other than as a vehicle to hold the contents. The portions of meat/tuna were fine. Too much lettuce/green pepper on each sandwich masked the other flavors. I didn't see any options for hot or sweet peppers. That likely would have helped. The folks there were nice. The restaurant is well lit and comfortable. read more

Had to try this place since it looked so much like Storto's! I honesty like Ohana Subs better because the bread is softer and not as thick. The only thing I was disappointed was with the tomatoes because it was so thin. Other than that the flavor of the meats and bread was really good. The half sub is really filling and I was struggling to finish it. Overall i would return. read more

As I'm sitting in the shop waiting for five sandwiches to be made I decided it's time to update my review. I come here more often than my visits indicate because I absolutely luv the place. First the sandwiches are awesome! One of those 'have it your way' places with the freshest white or wheat bread and they put other sandwich shops to shame when it comes to prices and size. When everyone was raising their prices 20-25% and more this shop increased a measly 10% and didn't resort to shrinkflation in addition to the price increase as so many others did. I like that I can get a salad with the same meats, cheese, veggie toppings for the same price as the sandwich....$10.95 in most cases, where can you get a fresh salad that cheap? I'm a huge fan of the Açaí bowls too....big bang for the buck! Parking in the Pearl Kai shopping center. Can go on line but I'm not a fan of that. read more

Deciding what to eat for dinner and knew I wanted a sandwich. I could either go to Subway or try somewhere new and opted for Ohana Sub in Aiea. I normally get a steak & cheese at Subway so I just got it here. Steak & cheese with mayo and ranch. Portions are humongous for a whole sub ($25). The bread is super soft and delicious! Sadly that was the only thing I liked about the sub was just the bread. The "steak" or beef whatever you wanna call it, is not good meat at all, lowkey tasted like liver. Green onions were cut so thick. Wished it was cut in thinner slices so it's easier and tastier to eat. The quality wasn't all there. Maybe I got the wrong sub, probably could've tried something popular but my favorite type of sub has always been a steak & cheese but now I know that Subway is just better. This place is only good for the portions and soft tasty bread. read more

Decisions, decisions I love coming to this place. It's a small hidden gem in the Pearl Kai mall. It's easy to miss since, it's not in a great location and parking is tough in the area. It just seems that the stalls are smaller then normal no that's not it, this part of town more trucks are reconstructed:| There are two sizes of sandwiches half and whole. The whole is definitely longer than a subway Footlong, way more tastier, and overall cheaper. Then only problem you'll have is what to get. Everything I've gotten I have enjoyed. The crazy part is that I probably enjoy the bread more than the stuffing. It is firm enough to hold everything together and soft enough to not exercise your jaw. FYI, my favorite is the Koko Head with extra oregano. The only thing missing here is soup. Overall five stars. The food is great, the people working there are great. M read more

Unfortunately, I would not recommend Ohana Sub Aiea. The quality seems to have fallen and there's nothing special about this place. Before, they were kinda "up there" in the sandwich game. But, now? I think not. It was really just a simple cold cut with little portion and variety of vegetables. The flavor was also lacking tremendously in the sandwich I ordered. I also didn't appreciate the crumbs of bacon - I had no "strip" whatsoever. Boo. read more

I've been going to this spot for about a year now but I recently noticed a significant price increase of about $8.... At first I didn't mind too much, but the last couple of times I went I also noticed that they have been putting less of everything in the sandwiches. But I will say the bread is still nice and soft and the customer service hasn't changed! I usually call in my order for pickup and they are still fast and efficient, my sandwiches are always ready by the time I'm there. read more

Been hearing great thing about this place on IG, and from my waxer. Was told it was like Stortos. Well.. it's almost like Stortos. Bread is not quite as soft. But since I can't drive to Hale'iwa all the time and try to avoid town at all costs, this is the next best thing. And they are waaay more affordable than Stortos. And the meats and combos taste just as great. I can't say no to a Rueben. My only recommendation is they make it on Rye Bread as it should be. The staff is friendly and quick making a quick lunch date across from work possible with my hubs. I only get an hour at best so this was awesome. read more

Now this is what I call a sub sandwich! We ordered the Bolo on white which came out to about $30+ for the whole sub. Sounds expensive but we - 3 of us - ate a little more than half of the sub and we all got full. Saved the other half for the next day and got two meals out of it. Located at the Pearl Kai complex, across from Pearlridge and they're open everyday. I also know they have another location in Wahiawa but they have slightly different business hours. We ordered online and the food was ready fairly quickly. We were greeted by two people who I wish I had gotten their names because they were super helpful and friendly...excellent customer service! The space is nice with their decor and is kept clean. Definitely going back to try their other sandwiches! If you're in the area do try them out. They do have reasonable prices read more

It was a nice change from subway. The bread was soft and the flavors were good. They give you plenty too! We had a fully loaded sub named "the cousin" (pepperoni, salami and ham) we got the whole! It can feed 3 but we 2 were able to really grind! Service was polite and fast! I like the ambiance enough. It was clean. Tables are small but ok for two. Check it out when you're in the area. read more

They were out of pepperoni, salami and pastrami the day we went which was kinda depressing because almost every sandwich had those ingredients and the sandwich we originally wanted had those ingredients. I settled for the turkey + which was good and I forget what my husband ordered and he added on bacon for the ingredient they didn't have. I wish they had put a sign up on the door or even in the menu. We might have gone somewhere else to eat knowing that they were out of so many ingredients. read more

Used to love going to Ohana subs but it has been about 5 months since my last visit. Knowing how crowded they normally are I tried to phone order to shorten my wait. Called 3 times within a 10 minute span and no one picked up. Becuz they were normally very busy decided I would order when I got there. No other customers waiting when I ordered and it seemed less busy than I've ever seen before -- at 12:15 pm. 3 employees working so they started my order right away. Got my order quickly but when I ate it at home bread was a bit stale. Very disappointed that their quality has slipped so much. Also don't understand why they couldn't answer the phone since they didn't look busy at all. read more

Extremely disappointed I was served brown lettuce for $17.00 for a tuna sandwich. So disheartening. Only reason I'm giving it a two stars is because the bread was actually soft. read more

Ohana Sub Aiea - Half The Tuna + - Sandwiches Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I am beyond disgusted and upset. I paid $26 plus tip for a sandwich for my daughter, and it was hands down the nastiest sub we've ever had. The first red flag was hearing the microwave open and close repeatedly. Then the employee actually told me our order was "still in the microwave"the meat, onions, and cheese were all being microwaved. There was no freshness at all, the cheese wasn't even melted, and there was paper mixed into the sandwich. The final straw was finding hair in the food, which made my daughter vomit shortly after eating it. This wasn't just bad food it felt careless and unsanitary. Even Subway prepares their sandwiches fresh, in front of you, on a clean counter. This experience was unacceptable, especially at that price point. I will never return. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Not too busy and there was only 3 people working. Really small shop across from Aloha Affordable vet. There were a lot of options but only one choice of bread. The half sub was huge and the price is the same for them all. I got the aunty with jalepeno cheese and mustard. My boyfriend had the italiano with Italian dressing and Monterey Jack cheese. Our only complaint is that there was hardly any meat. It wasn't a bad sub, the bread was nice and soft and it tasted good but for the bread to topping ratio, it's just not worth the price to me. Glad we tried it and it was a filling lunch. read more

Read a good amount of great reviews and thought I'd give them a try. I went in and the place was clean. 2 people ahead of me who ordered half a sandwich each. I decided to order a Paradise. Even with 2 orders ahead of mine, my sandwich came out pretty quick. I took it home and unraveled the paper to reveal my sandwich. Yes, I agree the bread was big, but the meat portions were small, and there was some avocado that didn't cover the bread, a flat layer of lettuce, a little onion, and the papaya dressing that I chose, and that's it! As I bit into paradise, I was disappointed . The sandwich lacked depth of flavor. It was just blah! Not to mention there was portions of the sandwich that wasn't covered with papaya dressing and a slice of cheese. I could taste the bread, which I thought was flavorless. Maybe, I should have asked for extra dressing? Who knows. I decided to doctor my lost in paradise sandwich. I sliced up some tomatoes, added some hot peppers, spinach, and more avocado sprinkled with a little salt and red pepper flakes. Wish I had some pickled onions and more meat, but I didn't. However, when I bit into it...yes, now this is how a sandwich should be. No one should have to leave a sandwich shop and go home to doctor it up. Especially, after paying over $20 for a whole sandwich, not to mention the tip. Ohana you can do better! Add more lettuce, onions, tomatoes, banana peppers, jalapenos, spinach as options. The price should include these condiments. Now, I understand why the sandwich can be whipped out so quickly. There's not much that go on them. I love to support local! However, there are other places I can go to, that gives me quality and quantity for a decent price. Glad I got to try it though! Now, I know. It's great to read people's reviews, but what makes it better is if you try it and see for yourself. read more

I'm disappointed in myself for not reviewing Ohana Sub sooner. Today I had the Bolo. Remember the Opu Buster at Mr. Subs? This is Ohana's version. All the meats, including bacon. Pretty sure there's Pastrami, bologna ham, turkey, and roast beef in there. Avocado is in it, adding extra creaminess to the mix. Had it with all the veggies except bell peppers, mayo and their proprietary papaya dressing. Service is always friendly and they layer the sandwiches nicely and wrap them, sealed with a smile. The Bolo is a little pricey but you get your money's worth. My wife and I shared it and my wife could only eat a quarter at one sitting. Oh, and do a YouTube search for "Ohana Sub host Hiromi" that was on Japanese TV. read more

Located in Pearl Kai Shopping Center. This is one of my favorite sandwich places for the fact that it's close, they make their own breads and the sandwich is good. There sandwich's are big. It not the normal 6 inch that you get at other places. The half is an 8' packed with whatever you want to add in. My favorite is the turkey plus with extra papaya dressing on it. I'm not the typically sandwich eater so I don't load it up with everything. My next go to is her amazing meat balls. It's not on the menu as an option but I typically go there just for the meat balls .... Hence I'll order a meat ball sandwich with no bread! lol which sometimes they look at me funny but depending on whom is working they will put it in a container or put make up there own idea of just the meat ball orders. Either way it's amazing to just eat them by themselves. I have to mention that the owner bakes the bread which is fluffy and flaky. It's light in a sense so you don't feel like you just ate a ton of bread. Not the cheapest but still good and better than the franchise brands. read more

I love sub sandwiches and I'm happy I got to try this place! It's similar to Stortos and a good alternative if you don't want to drive out to town or the north shore. It's a small sandwich shop with counter seating and 6-8 tables located in Pearl Kai shopping center with lots of parking. Luckily, I beat the crowd because after I ordered my food, there was a long line... They have a huge menu so it was a little overwhelming, but I went with the Italiano because I love pepperoni and salami. I also added all the veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion, & bell peppers) with papaya seed dressing and pepper jack cheese. I know a sub sandwich is good when the veggies are crisp and fresh so that's a plus with this spot! The sandwiches are HUUUGE!!! I only ate half of the half sub and saved the rest for dinner. The staff were also friendly and quick at making the sandwiches. Next time I come back I will be more adventurous to try their other subs! The names of each sub is also very creative :) read more

I love the subs here. The portions are large and the bread is super good too. The service is fast and the sandwiches are great!

If you love Storto's, you're really gonna LOVE Ohana Subs. Same fluffy bread with just enough chew in the crust to keep it all in. Good heft and substantial girth. 1/2 of a sandwich is larger than a full Subway or Jersey Mike's full. Don't be like a certain someone who said "I can eat a foot long so I'll order the full). The customized meatball, outstanding. Lots of tender balls (20+), heavy on the oregano in the sauce, loaded with pepper jack and mayo, light on the bell pepper and onions. The "Tuna +" an upgrade on the tuna sandwich adding Swiss cheese, bacon and avocado spread and added lettuce and tomato equally good and refreshing. Easy ordering through DoorDash with full customization. Averaging $11/ half. A great deal. Very friendly service. A solid sub sandwich. Simples. read more

We found Ohana Sub through Yelp when I had a craving for sandwiches one Sunday. It seemed like the perfect spot, especially since we love supporting local, small businesses, and it was conveniently located near where we planned to be during lunch hour. When we walked in, the place had a cute, homely vibe, and the smell of fresh sandwich ingredients filled the air, which was definitely inviting. The menu offers a lot of options, almost overwhelming at first, but everything was clearly laid out on the board, and some of the sandwiches had fun, quirky names. We were excited to give this place a try. However, when we mentioned it was our first time there, the cashier didn't seem to acknowledge or engage with us much. She took our order in a very robotic way, which was a little disappointing since we were hoping for a warmer, more welcoming experience. What made it more noticeable was that after we ordered, another customer came in, also for the first time, and the cashier was much more attentive with him. She took the time to explain the menu and recommend sandwiches based on his preferences. We didn't get that kind of service, and it left us feeling a bit overlooked. Had we received the same treatment, this review would have likely been very different. As for the food itself, I enjoyed my sandwich, it was fresh and tasty, but my other half felt his could have used a lot more sauce. He likes bold, flavorful sandwiches, and despite asking for extra sauce, it seemed to be lacking. He ended up adding some from home after we took the sandwiches back, which made his experience a bit underwhelming. I did tell him that next time he should try something else and maybe his experience would be a little different. I'd be open to giving Ohana Sub another try when I'm in the mood for a sandwich, but I'm not sure the rest of my family will be as eager to return. It has potential, but our experience this time just missed the mark in terms of service and flavor. read more

They certainly do spread joy! After my first experience at the OG Wahiawa location I was thrilled to learn they opened a second location in Aiea. Though it's much much smaller in size they still do offer a few seatings that many seem to take advantage of (myself included). As soon as you walk in the first thing you notice is how vibrant the decor is with a giant sub riding the wave on a surfboard the other side is their massive chalkboard menu as what an amazing job the artist has done with it as it's so stunning to get lost in searching for that right selection. This visit it was the Shaka-Shaka (Pepperoni, Salami and Bologna) you start by choosing your meat base then you build it to your choice of Veggies all or your choice (Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions, Bell Peppers and Srouts), Cheese choice of one (Provolone, Cheddar, Jalapeño, Monterey Jack, or Swiss), Dressings (Mayo/Mustard, Papaya Seed, Italian, Thousand Island, Vinaigrette or Ranch) all as a snack or hungry Half or Whole Sub. I've gotten the whole to save and or to share some for later and had them cut it into four pieces for convenience thought the next time I'd be more selective with the dressings as it got a bit soggy for the latter part but was still a great. They assemble your sub right beside the counter and wrap it in the pink butcher paper so it all stays in there lol! Lovely staff and great fresh sandwiches will certainly be back to support and give local love. Thank you! read more

Okay, I have to be honest... I didn't have any expectations walking into this place. I'm sort of a sandwich snob and I am picky when it comes to my sandwiches. It has to have good bread, the ratio of the veggies and meats have to be just right. Hawaii really doesn't have many good sandwich spots so I was like, "Meh, why not?" Well I had the Manoa Falls sandwich as a small and it was so big! I only ate half and saved the other for later. I stuck with just mayo and mustard even though they have the papaya dressing and I knew I wouldn't like it so I had it on the side. Not really a fan of sweetness in my sandwich. The sandwich was delicious! Bread had a good chewiness and although the sandwiches don't look all that pretty -trust me, they are good! Great texture, good amount of meats, fresh veggies. I read that they make their own bread which is awesome. There's a variety on the menu and have such cute names. Prices are reasonable and the workers there are really nice and friendly. There's seating inside and very clean. I will definitely be back and try some new sandwiches. Plus there's always plenty of parking. So glad we have an awesome sandwich shop in Aiea! read more

I decided to give this place a try despite some mixed reviews. They don't seem very consistent and I decided to gamble with it. Unfortunately, I should've listened to the negative reviews and was left feeling disappointed. The sandwich (Manoa Falls) was not good or bad - just ok. It's a HUGE sandwich - they don't skimp on portion size. Someone else mentioned having to doctor their sandwich later, which I also did by adding more tomato and some salt and pepper. The whole pickle that I got on the side was too mushy so I just threw it away. I might've gone back for another sandwich in a pinch, but not after the service experience. I placed an online pickup order so that I could get back to work quickly. The woman behind the counter was on a personal call and didn't acknowledge me at all even though she saw me. After 4-5 minutes, the lady making the sandwiches came over to me and I mentioned I had a pickup order. She picked up my sandwich from the back counter (next to the lady on the phone) and handed it to me. Literally took 2 seconds. Save your time and go somewhere else. It's not worth the gamble. read more

Wanted to try a sandwich shop that's local instead of franchise. Stopped in to grab an Italiano, Uncle, and Turkey (salad).
