@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!
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.
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!!
Great fresh Porchetta Sandwiches. Located at Kaka'ako Farmers Mkt Sat morning 8am-12 Service is nice with a smile.
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.
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...
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.
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.
This food stand regularly appears at the farmer's market on ward avenue. We tried the half chicken plate as well as the standard roti sandwich , which is porchetta on a ciabatta roll. Atb$18 for each, it's reasonably priced and their portions are large enough to have leftovers. The porchetta sandwich is packed with thinly sliced pork and slivers of crispy skin, lots of peppery arugula, and a spicy sauce. It's a very tasty and filling sandwich. Their bread is also very good. The half chicken plate is such a good deal! The organic chicken half is very large and meaty, and it comes with roasted vegetables and potatoes. Easily 2 meals. Service is very friendly and our cashier let us know it would be 8-10 minutes before our order would ve ready. It's nice to see a local business continue to provide excellent food at a reasonable price. read more
Awesome service but food was very salty. We tried: - signature porchetta sandwich - yummy flavor but pork was quite salty. They give a lot of pork so you can make another sandwich or eat it with rice when you get home - half chicken and roasted veges - the roasted veges were super yummy, perfectly cooked. The chicken just came out of the rotisserie, yet it was fairly dry. Plus super salty on the outside. Squeezing the lemon and dipping with the chimichuri type sauce was tasty. But also needs rice or something to soak up all the saltiness. - farro salad - was ok. It's a lot and doesnt keep. - rosemary lemonade - was ok read more
MIND-BLOWING. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It may have ruined all other sandwiches for me. The crunchy bits of skin, the tender meat, the fresh arugula (we got extra lettuce), the caramelized onions...the flavor & texture combo...wowza. Not to mention the sheer enormity of the sandwich -- enough for 2. So good we got it again at the end of our vacation. Will definitely be back next year! read more

Roti-Si is the spot for me! And it should be for you too! Everything I have tried has exceeded my expectations. Today I had the special which was a chicken sandwich with veggies, provolone, and lots of flavor on a poppyseed bun. Soooo delicious. I hope they make this a regular sandwich. The signature porchetta is also a favorite of mine; very flavorful! The rosemary lemonade is refreshing and a must on a hot day. The staff is very friendly and they often play music. Thank you Roti-Si! read more

Great find - this food truck was right in front of Bank of Hawaii! I needed a salad and saw that they had one, so I took a chance! This Farro salad is very tasty and not dry or too chewy! What a sweet surprise that I wasn't expecting! I'll definitely go back to try the other food they have when they're in that area again! read more

Had the porchetta sandwich (learned today that it's pronounced pork-etta ), and it was reasonably priced - maybe even the best item at the farmer's market in terms of value. Taste wise it was great: pork was crispy in the edges yet retained a lot juice, the caramelized onions and tomatoes balanced out the fattiness, and arugula on ciabatta bread is always a classic pairing to have on a sandwich. Wait was a bit long but workers were friendly. Overall a really welcome find in a market where it might be hard to find good bang for your buck (but of course, support local businesses as best as you can) read more
