Never thought id find another place similar to K & M Drive Inn when it comes to cheap bentos but this place has em! Its a few cents more expensive and the portion feels just a tad bit smaller but its still one hell of a deal. Lately I've been coming here after seeing some insta videos and I've been hooked on their omelettes. The price for their breakfast plates and Omelettes are very good and they open very early "0430". They serve both their lunch and breakfast menu at open but i havent tried their lunch items yet tho seeing from pictures ahhh def gonna try em before i Judge em. They also ask to preorder a day ahead if you want more than 5 Bentos. Cashier always friendly and just like K&M they tap the no tip option before asking you to tap your card A+ on that. They have a tip jar for cash tips if you want to. I though i should mention this too but just like K&M their spam and sometimes their other breakfast meats in the bento just have a weird funk taste to em. maybe its a different brand? Unsure so I dont get them as much any more but if its actually bad im sure someone would have complained or gotten sick. I had their spam omelette and it tasted just fine. So very weird. read more

A small mom and pop Deli in the Nimitz area, located next to Joes Grill Express, they have an extensive menu ranging from various breakfast items to a larger lunch menu. Breakfast is served all day and the prices are extremely competitive compared to their pricier neighbors. I decided to go with the hamburger steak plate for $11 but added on roast pork for a 2 item combo which added an additional $5.... Which caught be by surprise considering the hamburger was a frozen patty most likely bought from Sam's or costco The stars I'm giving is for the portion size...I was highly disappointed with the servingo the roast pork I added to my plate, it was literally like fewest amount of shredded pieces, now I know roast pork isn't the most expensive thing to make, so a decent portion would have been nice. I know it's a little on the cheaper side for plate lunches but I feel like that should hinder on the portion size. The service was fast and friendly and the store itself is a tiny spot good for grab and go breakfast and lunches. I might end up giving them another shot but we shall see. read more

Can't get better local/Flipino-style food in the Airport area elsewhere. The prices are amazing. The flavors and quality are good. Bentos for $7.50! What value. read more

Not too shabby for a plate lunch place where most of it is less than $15. I got the loco moco and to be honest it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. Service was great as you really just order what you want then eat elsewhere. Atmosphere here was pretty much just a waiting room due to really all your doing inside is waiting for your order to be called. If I had to be blunt I probably would come back again to try there other plate lunches when it's around that time of the month where I'm pretty low on funds and don't want to go to mcdz. All in all great cheap eats that for sure would have you coming back for more to try their other options they offer. read more

Papa's Deli - Loco moco - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If you work or just near the airport you know where this is, next to joes and mini garden express. No frill good for grab and go bentos in the morning to simple kind plate lunches local/filipino style with few soup selections and a fair fair price Ox tail shhhh. Today was salt and pepper pork chop and meatloaf plates. Meatloaf was soft tender but too much breading inside that you can taste. Salt pepper pork I was thinking more Chinese style crispy but was more just season and gravy all over. Both gravy same not overpowering or salty so that was a plus for me easier to add salt or shoyu to taste if needed. Super fair prices at around $11-12+ for plates. Few bar table seats if needed other than that order and go. Larger order suggest calling in as it's a true mom and pop store with 2 workers roughly. read more

Thursday January 22, 2026 first time, coming to try here. Plenty parking in the Airport Commercial Center at 3131 North Nimitz Highway Left of Joe's Grill Express another popular food place that I buy from a lot too. Breakfast $5.95 Grab n Go Bento $6.95 Plus, a lot of other food choices like plate lunches, sandwiches, soups and salads?? Service was fast. Food was good. Ambiance is casual and comfortable for a take out food place. No tables or chairs in here. When I am in the airport area for work again. Next time, I will try something else. read more

Papa's Deli - First time, Breakfast! Thursday January 22, 2026 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A new eatery by the airport that serves a lot of local favorites. They have ready-made rentals for breakfast and lunch. I had a pen with a burrito fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and lunch in me that actually worked. Been here about three times already. I look forward to trying more dishes. I tried a beef bent with pork and the beef tasted like fish. It seems like they fried the beef in a pan where the fried fish previously. read more

Wow what a great surprise, very homey spot with good food for great prices. Where can you get a full plate lunch for $10-$15 bucks. The order. Combo Lechon Kawali and Pork Adobo. The Lechon was packed with flavor and crispy. For most they may say a bit salty. That's right up my alley haha. The Adobo was soft and the sauce was more shoyu slight sweet style vs tart vinegar style. End it with the fact that food was ready in two shakes, I'll definitely stop by again to try other items. They have breakfast and lunch options. A lot of Filipino dishes, but offer a lot plate typical lunch options, then top it with steak and seafood choices. It's more of a hole in the wall spot, so if you are quesy, then this probably ain't an option for you. read more

Papa's Deli - Combo - Lechon Kawali and Pork Adobo (pepper on Mac is my doing, haha) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Takeout lunch from Honolulu, Hawaii... Papa's Deli is a hole-in-the-wall place with no air-conditioning, but plenty of heart! I've had this place on my back burner and... an opportunity popped up when I was in the area at the right time! I rushed over before the door closed for the day... The humble, quiet man at the cash register was pleasant with a shy smile. He took my order cheerfully! I looked over the reasonably priced menu, then at the Daily Specials and chose the Roast Pork plate. He didn't offer me a plastic knife with the disposable fork that he handed to me. I found out why... The roast pork was so tender and cut up already! How convenient! I also enjoyed the fresh green salad and comforting brown gravy on the rice! I'm so happy that I finally tried Papa's Deli! Can't wait to return! read more

Cheap eats... Papa's does it all and quite early in the morning thankfully after I was done with my bloodwork you know I'm hungry especially since it falls on a work day. Located in the Airport Commercial Center which has ample free parking makes it a quick and easy stop to fuel up for the day though I didn't expect a carnivore feast as the menu offers so much comfort food from breakfast, soups and a very protein rich plate lunches and I'm aware of the industrial location so you know that this is the place for early morning hangry. I ordered breakfast and it was "Steak and Pork Adobo" and with understanding everything is already made and kept warm nice, fast and ready to go though there is a downside to that as the steak was sliced and cooked so it was pretty much done not to a point that it's hard but some may feel that way though with these prices you just can't beat it. Pork Adobo was nice and flavorful not too salty and my eggs was scrambled all on a bed of rice at $12.95 is a deal but what I didn't see since there was some guys already sitting enjoying their meal was they have a grab and go breakfast bento and at $6.95 that indeed was the deal I haven't seen at many places. Two guys work it and they were nice and polite offering a comforting vibe for early morning hungry folks as work is not just a nine to five days. Thank you! read more

Ok. So this place has become one of my favorite breakfast places recently. It's just off Nimitz Hwy by the airport. Plenty of parking. It's a takeout place. No seating. Once you walk in you're greeted with a really friendly staff. Bentos are available and a full breakfast menu. I came for the Bigger Breakfast C. Pork adobo, longanisa and steak. Wow. This plate was loaded. Great value for the price and filling. Food came out fast and hot. Adobo and longanisa were great. Steak was just ok. But what would you expect for value plate lunch. I'll be back for sure to try all the other breakfast items on the menu. And of course the bentos. read more

I ordered the pork adobo, longanisa and eggs. Order came out real fast. There is a sitting place to eat but it was all taken due to the fact that it's only 3 people. Counter help was very nice and helpful. As for the food it was good nothing special but maybe will try other things on the menu next time. read more

Drove up at 5:30 in the morning and it was nice to see them open. First time coming hear after hearing about them from someones post on Instagram. I ordered the pinoy omelet which included a sweet longanisa, shrimp and onions omelet over a bed of rice. It was so fulfilling and yummy! Service was fast and friendly. They do accept credit/debit cards so thats a plus. Will definitely come here again and try other things on their menu. read more

This is a great place to get a quick breakfast that's very filling for a very affordable price! This is a go to spot for our company, especially the three meat breakfast. There can be long lines of customers, so be ready. The only downside is the seating is limited to three people. We usually take out and go somewhere nice , park and eat, lol. read more

First visit to this place and despite the reviews I was very disappointed. The hamburger steak if that's what you call it had the appearance of being boiled and tasted like anything but beef. Seriously. The roast pork was still jellied basically raw. I brought the plate back and a gentleman from the back came out. I pointed these things out and he stated they had cooked them in the oven for a long time. Then in the same breath stated the middle of the burger is supposed to be red. I told him the pork was still jellied when broken. Then I told him to taste the hamburger twice and he stared at the plate just kept shaking his head and said no. read more

Gosh, I have found my NEW all-day breakfast spot when I MUST drive into town for work (coming from Waipahu.) First and foremost, 4-stars alone for my breakfast plate of luncheon meat, over easy eggs, and white rice. I have been trying to find a spot that has "authentic" luncheon meat and not the style in spam cans labeled as luncheon meat. I bought a plate yesterday, and going again TODAY! Simplicity in its finest, sweet-savory meet, eggs runny, and more-than-enough rice to absorb the yolk goodness. My second plate was shoyu chicken, but being devil's advocate, the taste was actually good, just not the local traditional style I was craving with soft-tender fall-off-the-bone, boiled in broth shoyu chicken. This version was an oven baked style, so the chicken skin alone was yummy. I would only have deducted 1/2 star, but darn. I may try another breakfast meat, and/or dish, but considering they don't charge an arm/leg, it's worth it's weight here. Service was quick, they accept cards with no minimum, and they also have a counter if you can't wait to eat. Parking may be a challenge, depending on time and central location to airport businesses, but around lunch I still found stalls open. Take this as you must, but yummy! read more

Hot, brown and lots of it. That's how I can describe the loco moco without being mean. Who makes loco moco with meat loaf? First bite threw me off because when you order loco moco you expect hamburger patty, not mushy meat loaf! Gravy nothing to write home about either. Again, it was hot, brown and there was lots of it. Cheap prices, but I would pay a few bucks more for a better loco moco that isn't made with meat loaf. Tried their roast pork a while back and was nothing spectacular either. Three stars because the people were nice. There's some counter seating at the window, but it's very hot inside the restaurant so don't expect to be very comfortable while eating your food. Lots of parking in the shared lot fronting the restaurant. read more

Papa's Deli - Loco moco made with meat loaf. Should be called meat loaf moco instead. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Papa's Deli opened about 2-1/2 months ago. They are located between Subway and Joe's Grill's Express at the Nimitz Commercial Center. It was more of a take out place with a few chairs along the counter by the window. There was a family having breakfast together: It's a small place offering breakfast from 7am and lunch items. On an early Sunday morning, Mini Garden Express and Papa's Deli & bento were the only ones opened so far. They had a few pre-made bentos for grab and go. He had a picture menu but said it was from the previous restaurants Ann's Kitchen on Republican St and Christine's Diner. The man was busy helping the front and back with another worker. He was nice and helpful. I was able to ordered Lechon with greens and macaroni salad. The lechon was thin and on the crispier side with tomato and onions. The macaroni salad was simple with grated carrots and the greens had a different but tasty dressing. I couldn't figured out the dressing. Maybe made with a little fish sauce? All and all it was good. Nothing to write home about. I would come again and try other dishes since I used to go to Christine's Diner and always wanted to try Ann's Kitchen. I wish them well and want to support small & local businesses. read more

Hearty breakfast on a budget! I heard Papa's carries on the food that Christine's Diner had. The omelets are big over a bed of rice ...

Cheap price of $11 plate lunch was the main attraction but not worth more than $5! Unreal low quality ingredients used to increase profits over taste and portion sizes. Initially purchased Meat Loaf which contained over 60% breading and 3-inch patties, rice was mushy and moldy and toss salad consisted of 3-day old head lettuce which contained one-mouthful portion....LMAO! Bought a roast pork plate and severely disappointed again. Thinly sliced roast pork with 50%-fat and beef jerky quality meat. Save your time and money by avoiding this pseudo-diner. read more

Price is great But I can't do that Jasmine Rice I wish I could give them better marks I hate seeing business struggle If they went with a better ride and raised their prices to match their price increase I believe they'd see a boom in traffic This is Hawai'i Calrose style rice is a must read more

Papa's Deli is located near Nimitz Highway in the same complex as the former Chan's Buffet Chineese Restaurant. I believe they are the former Ann's Kitchen owners. PARKING They share the area with other establishments so parking can be busy, especially during the lunch. Best time to come was on the weekends. FOOD They have an excellent variety of food. From filipino dishes, hawaiian and other local dishes. My favorite is the diniguan plate. So much flavor and they aren't stingey with their portions either. Adobo is another favorite. Can't go wrong with this one. Plus, they were serving breakfast at lunch too. So, if ou're craving some breakfast food for lunch they have that option. This is the go-to fast take out place if you want some well priced, nicely portioned filipino food! read more

I was going to buy lunch from Joe's Grill but decided to try Papa's instead, which opened right next door. The premade bento's looked good and were reasonable, like $8-9. Then I saw the menu and I was intrigued by the spicy black bean ribs so I ordered a plate. Then I saw pasteles stew so the girl talked me into a mixed plate. I think it cost me at least $15. The ribs turned out really delicious and I would definitely order this again. As for the pastele stew, it was OK but I wouldn't order this again. I will definitely return and try some Filipino cuisine the next time. read more

Second time to eat here this time we grabbed lunch. Pork adobo plate and hamburger steak and gravy plates. Comes with 2 scoops rice and a salad of your choice. Adobo plate was soft meat with little to no fat. Tasty! Hamburger steak plate had 2 burgers, gravy. I like my burger with onions but this is good for those who don't. Lots of gravy on it too! Always good service here and good sized portions for the prices. read more

Husband decided that since we never came here maybe we should try it. He placed the order for us as I was on my way to meet him there. *Baked chicken plate - a lot for the price. Basic with not enough flavoring. *roast pork plate - gravy was floury and from looking at it the meat was touching the air and dried the pieces out making it hard. *hamburger steak plate - so upset to see a big chunk of white piece. If I'm not mistaken it may have been bread or egg as a binding ingredient and wasn't mixed well into meat patty but it was gross. Gravy was same as roast pork, floury! *pork chop plate - more like pork loin. Husband said this one was the best one of all but lacked flavor. Good was big but didn't fill my opu due to the lack of flavor. I don't recommend dining in. They have one counter to eat at and it's so hot in there especially with no AC and all the fridge near the counter, where the coils bounce back against the wall and circulates the hot heat. Eat in ur car. read more
