    YuMmmy Signature Porchetta Sandwich $18
    Jill F.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "Life is (cia)BATTA with you! A Signature Porchetta Sandwich that includes caramelized onions, cherry tomato confit, arugula, Italian chili oil, n' tender slices of porchetta with a crispy skin all on ciabatta bread from ROTI-SI. When at the Kailua Town Farmers Market on Sunday, be sure to make your way!" Staff: friendly Interior: n/a Exterior: pop up @ farmers markets Wait time: 15-20mins Parking: lot or street Overall comments: the first time I had their porchetta sandwich was last year at the Saturday Kaka'ako Farmers Market. This recent visit we spotted them at the Sunday Kailua Town Farmers Market. The porchetta sandwich was just as i remembered, fully stuffed n' flavorful. Everything came together to create a delicious sandwich. My favorite part was biting into the crispy pork skin. A yummy n' filling sandwich!

    Basil pesto pasta salad (full order)

    A three pound rotisserie chicken is $28. If you even started to think "but Costco..." stop reading. Rotisserie chickens and sides that are worthy of taking out plates and flatware that you actually need to wash and uncorking a nice bottle of red. Two chicken choices, organic or pasture raised from the local J. Ludovico Farm. Opting for the later, it is rubbed with fresh herbs, well seasoned and spit roasted. Being pasture raised, these birds are smaller, denser, moist but not dripping with juices from being pumped full of additives like the hideous Costco cluckers. The basil pesto pasta salad loaded with cubes of organic rotisserie chicken, tuna, sun dried tomatoes, and of course cheese, $15, pairs perfectly. The pesto is packed with pine nuts adding richness and pairing perfectly with the flavorful chicken. Other salad offerings and sides of roasted root veg available to pair as well. And yes, they make a killer porchetta sandwich as well. A fixture at the Kakaako Farmers Market and now What the Truck 2. See IG for more popup locations. Surpassing most restaurants while being on wheels. Solid.

    The Signature Sandwich made to perfection.

    This is my favorite sandwich of all times. Their Signature Sandwich has the right amount of sweet with the caramelized onions and tomatoes with the savory of the herbs and the crusted pork and ciabatta bread! Dear God it's like the best of all flavors in my mouth. I have no need for a desert cuz this sandwich checks the boxes to appease every tastebud. Perfecto!

    I went to the Kakaako farmers market to see the Omao Man, but apparently he's on vacation, so wandering around, I started getting hungry. The line for JOJA was sooooooo long, so I walked around to try something new. The aroma of the chicken and pork being cooked drew me closer. I then saw this girl just grinding on one of their sandwiches and, well...that says it all! They had a special holiday sandwich, with mushrooms and truffle sauce, and that's exactly what I got. The skin on that pork was soooooo crispy! The flavors were just delicious! I only ate half and saved the other for later. Well, two days later and that sandwich was still ONO! Heated it up for about 45 seconds and it was perfect! Great place to check out! Mahalo Roti-Si!

    If you're a fan of bold, savory flavors and melt-in-your-mouth meat, the Porchetta sandwich is a must-try. The star of the show is the porchetta itself -- a beautifully seasoned, slow-roasted pork belly with a perfect balance of fat and crispy skin. Each bite delivers rich, herby notes of garlic, rosemary, and fennel, wrapped in tender, juicy meat. The bread plays its part too -- crusty on the outside, soft and airy on the inside -- sturdy enough to hold the filling without overpowering it. Many places pair it with a bright, tangy salsa verde or pickled onions to cut through the richness, which adds a welcome contrast and freshness. What really sets a porchetta sandwich apart is the texture: crunchy crackling, tender pork, and soft bread come together in a satisfying, no-nonsense bite. A porchetta sandwich done right is rustic, indulgent, and unforgettable. It's not the cleanest thing to eat, but that's part of the charm. Just be ready to get a little messy -- and very full. Don't forget to take home a whole roasted chicken, with a side of roasted veggies, potatoes, carrots and Brussels to complete your meal, all of the Tuscan flavors to bring you a taste of Italy. Pair it up with a refreshing farro salad or a pesto pasta. Give them a try u won't be disappointed... ~Por'ketta, porcheetah, porshetta, prosciutto, how ever u say it come give it a try!!

    Got their signature sandwich for $18: Porchetta with lots of arugula . The portion is generous and I liked the sandwich except their Italian chili oil. It was too hot for me, so if you are not a spicy lover, ask them to reduce chili oil. (It makes you thirsty) Thank you for the tasty sandwich!

    Porchetta with vegetables was a hit!! It is seasoned well and the flavor is bursting with the herbs. I liked it and next time I might go grab a chicken after reviews on how juicy it is. Brought my plate home and it was still so tasty after an hour of being out. Simone is friendly and helpful and the best part is that I can practice my Italian with someone else! The foods was good and flavorful. The ambiance of their cart is clean and well maintained. Excellent pit stop and grazie mille Simone! Alla prossima di sicuro!!

    Special Italian Sausage Sandwich
    Gil G.

    This Kailua Farmers Market gem continues to amaze me with a special of the day, a Spicy Italian Sausage Sandwich. It is crafted on a toasted baguette with layers of roasted peppers, sweet onions and medley of mushrooms and topped with a layer of cheese to finish it off. Don't forget the pesto pasta salad as well as a side of roasted fresh vegetables! Oh! One last item, enjoy a cool refreshing Rosemary Lemonade to freshen your palate.

    This Family ran business is know for their porchetta (slow roasted Italian pork roll, rotisserie cooked for 4hours) they also server chicken as well... I highly suggest ordering their famous porchetta sandwich... He starts with fresh crispy ciabatta bread, and smoothers it with caramelized onions, layers on confit cherry tomatoes, pile on fresh slices of porky goodness, then top with a drizzle of spicy oil and arugula.... If you like a really good pork sandwich, you'll love this one. And wash it down with their delicious ice cold lemonade. They can be found on Saturdays at the Kaka'ako farmers market, and on Sunday Kailua Farmers market (located at Castle Medical Center). Kailua on is Pet friendly , so bring your furry friend and you can enjoy the outdoors on the lawn there or take it to the park across the road. To some it may seem pricey but for how much work goes into it, I feel it is worth the $17, plus it was big enough for me and my wife to share...

    Saw this booth several times at Kakaako Farmers market where you enter and exit through the parking lot and their rotisserie machine caught my eye as it is large and looked really clean. I eventually tried out a porchetta sandwich for $17. It came on a nice toasty bread with an abundance of veggies, porchetta and sauteed veggies. I thought the sandwich overall was not bad - but i was kind of thrown off by the hint of sweetness to the sandwich as it wasn't expecting something sweet to be coming out of something i assumed that would be savory. Cash or card is accepted and they're only open at the Kakaako famers market on saturday and Kailua farmers market on sunday.

    Food: We ordered the porchetta sandwich and it was amazing! You get the crispy ciabatta, leafy arugula, fatty pork with crunchy skin, sweet caramelized onion and tangy tomato confit. Everything works so well together. Service: The lady taking our order was very nice and it didn't take too long to get our food. We just walked down the row of food tents and back. Ambiance: I really liked being able to see the chicken and porchetta being cook on the rotisserie as well as them constructing the sandwich in front of you. Price: it's a little pricey, but the sandwich is so good that I'd say it's worth it.

    Juicy, tender, crisp (skin!), and packed with flavors that will transport you straight to Italy! We drove all the way from Mililani Town to Kailua farmers market just to try their Porchetta Sandwich--and it was so worth it. The porchetta was perfectly seasoned, with that golden, crackling skin that added the ideal crunch. Layered with tangy pickled onions and fresh arugula, each bite was a perfect balance of rich, savory, and bright flavors. Honestly, I'd make the drive again in a heartbeat just for another bite. If you're a fan of porchetta or just straight-up amazing sandwiches--this is a must-try.

The fried chicken sandwich was good, but we mainly got it to try the Old Bay seasoning. Wasn't too hot, 8/10 Earl Fries were good, the pickles were a nice touch although it did make certain spots on the fries a little soft due to liquid (we brought the food home). 8.0 Spicy Pickles were the weakest link for me, and I misread--I thought it was fried pickles. 6.5/10, although I can see them adding to certain sandwiches as a topping. The location itself is chill and the workers were efficient. All in all, great sandwich spot to have in the back pocket.

As a returning customer placing my second order, I expected a much higher level of professionalism and customer service. As the food the first time was amazing. I was prepared to spend $77 on this order, and the least I expected was the professional courtesy of a phone call to explain the situation and offer an apology, even if the staff was busy or unable to fulfill the order. Simply canceling an order without any communication demonstrates a strong lack of respect for customers and their time. Because of how this was handled, I will not be returning, nor can I recommend this establishment to others. Strong customer service is about communication and accountability, and unfortunately, this experience fell far short of those expectations.

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.

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.

    Legit pizza by the slice - excellent cheese slice which is the best way to judge pizza. The crust…read moreis a little less blistered than some places but is solid, great bite, foldable, served on classic NY white paper plates with wavy rim. 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.

    As mentioned by other reviewers, if you're looking for an inexpensive, decent sandwich on Waikiki…read morebeach, look no further. Conveniently located near Duke's, there's one outdoor table nearby, but really, just pick up a sandwich and take it to the beach! Staff was very friendly. Plenty of options for sandwiches and salads (and maybe more options, just what I noticed). I got the tuna sandwich and added a slice of pepper jack. I said no mayo or mustard, though I'd probably recommend mayo. There are so many veggies that it needs a little sauce. The veggies make you feel like you're eating something super healthy! There wasn't a ton of tuna in the sandwich, but half was filling enough for me. I'll save the rest for tomorrow.

    I'm going to start by saying you won't find a sandwich shop in Waikiki like Pai's Deli. Their…read moresandwiches are packed with fresh ingredients and tons of flavor. Skipping this place would be a crime. And prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's a hidden gem, tucked inside the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort just to the right of Duke's. I've been here many times and have ordered both smoothies and sandwiches. Let me tell you, the bread is incredibly soft, the greens are crisp and fresh, and the protein is ALWAYS tasty. The team works hard to craft your sandwich every time, and I always get a warm "thank you" when I pick mine up (I swear I got into a thank-you battle once, and of course, they won). I highly recommend the tuna sandwich. It's seasoned perfectly and generously filled with tuna. The greens are always piled high. Shredded carrots, spinach leaves, and more sprouts than you'd think possible. It's healthy and DELICIOUS. I usually add avocado, and the sandwich with avocado comes out to $13.75, which is a great deal for Waikiki. Oh! and you get a little skewer of two pineapple slices! It's cute, refreshing, and perfectly ripe every time. The last smoothie I ordered was the Avocado Green Island. It's made with mango, avocado, spinach, banana, greek yogurt, and coconut milk. It's creamy, slightly tangy, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. I've also tried their chicken salad sandwich (money!) and my favorite, the Captain Salad. I recommend getting it with Caesar dressing. The brand of ranch they use isn't really my thing. They also have a homemade balsamic vinagarette that sounds amazing. The salad is huge, topped with turkey and generous crumbles of bacon. I'm telling you, they're serving hit after hit after hit at this spot. Go and enjoy ASAP!
