    One of downtown Honolulu's newest Subway locations, this is one of the better ones. It's actually located on Alakea next to the new Starbucks. This is not an easy location to drive to, but is right at a major bus transfer point and easy to walk to from anywhere downtown. As it's new, it's clean and fresh. It's one of the larger locations, with big windows open to the street for natural light. The staff here is friendly and fast making subs. There's not much to say about the actual food, it's your typical Subway and I really doubt you're reading Yelp because you're curious about what a Subway sub tastes like. I'm sure this place gets busy at lunch due to its central location, but has two doors to allow for easy flow in and out of customers. An added bonus is a number of 2 seat tables outside, which offers a surprisingly pleasant place to eat and people watch.

    Be careful coming to this place. I thought this was the best Subway on the East side until I found a giant crock roach, beetle thing in my broccoli cheddar soup! We got our food through Bitesquad. I've been getting food here for about a year! I hope I haven't eaten more bugs :((((.

    6" of the (Monday) day: Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken $4

    Expect long lines at lunch time! This location convenient for downtown workers. They are well stocked with breads, cookies and chips. The line goes down pretty fast. The only downside is there's no parking, unless you park on Richard street (metered) or in Alii Place (not validated). No seats inside. Also, when it is crowded, it gets really hot and uncomfortable! Check their website, the online website has the local store's menu and prices! YAY for footling/6" of the day for $7/$4!

    This is a double meat sandwich for this subway. I ate more bread than meat.

    After seeing how stingy they were, I asked for (and paid for) double meat. Basically got less than I would normally get at a regular subway. Was basically eating bread with cheese.

    Location: This location is fairly new next to Starbucks and the Central Pacific Bank Building on Alakea and King St Parking: There are several parking garages nearby, which are a little bit expensive. But if you are coming on foot, then your good! Food: Is same like other subway very yummy Staff: Staff is extremely quick, and super helpful. Its almost like going to a family members house and they wanna feed you and make sure you are good. Will definitely return!! The staff here is the reason why this place will continue to stay busy :)

    Excellent service, much better than the Fort Street location. Sandwich artists here are always super friendly and sandwiches are always perfect.

    I wonder if they count the pieces of vegetable when making my sandwich.  It sure is sparse.

The macaroni salad was macaroni with what seemed like just mayo. (Not my jam). He had the loco moco. He loved it. Again a billion pounds of rice. Kid had a hot dog. Didn't finish it. Quality was really low. Maybe we are used to dodger dog snap style flavorful ones.

And we just can't go here anymore unless changes are made! We used to prefer them over Zippy's, but now they are less than 7-Eleven quality, while charging higher-end prices for the neighborhood. We have given them many chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but we have repeatedly been disappointed. Their chicken has become chewy and fatty, their rice is mediocre, and condiments such as mayonnaise are stripped down to the bare minimum quantity. Chile is poured so lightly that it is practically a minuscule amount. And their prices have continued to rise. I don't know if greedy people took over the restaurant who just don't care anymore, or what is going on. I remember when I used to take people here, and they would be impressed with the quality and quantity--plates just heaping with good cuts of meat, noodles, and rice. Those days are no more. As they say in Japan, the price performance is poor. Furthermore, their staff is rude. I can only imagine it was an owner working this day because it was a face I haven't seen that often. An older gentleman who appeared to be of Okinawan descent, working the cashier register, accosted us because I was privately discussing with my family about splitting different items with them. We were all ordering something, so he wasn't losing any money, but he told us about how prices are double in Waikīkī. First of all, it is rude to interrupt your customers that way. Secondly, we don't go to Waikīkī or care about Waikīkī. What happened to serving the locals? Third, Waikīkī has an assortment of restaurants, prices, and qualities, and they shouldn't be how you base your services. Lastly, I guarantee I could find a better deal in Waikīkī if I wanted to. Next time you're in the area, just go get a $6 bento or a $5 burrito from 7-Eleven next door. I assure you, the price performance and experience will be better. If Rainbow Drive-In is in the business of comparing themselves to other things, let's compare them to 7-Eleven and at least try to be better than them, right? I can get mochiko chicken from 7-Eleven for $6.99 that is similar in portion size and better quality. Meanwhile, they are serving their fatty, dry chicken for $16.75. Highway robbery! And they are not fancy, with their dirty picnic tables and plastic cutlery. They are just a step above a food truck, if that. Save yourself from the hype. They have gone downhill like a landslide. Go elsewhere.

The chicken skin had a nice crunch to it and the meat was juicy (not super oily, but juicy.) The mashed potatoes and gravy weren't bad. They were not super fluffy but a little more on the dense side. (Nothing bad, just dense.) The gravy was somewhat runny with just the right amount of saltiness. The spaghetti was surprisingly good! It's been a few years since I've gone to a Jolly Bee and I had imagined the spaghetti to only be sweet and savory. It was actually pretty good! (Not in an Italian way though. It was a little spicy, which I loved! I wasn't expecting it to be spicy so it was a very pleasant surprise! It was a tad sweet...just the right amount! (There isn't a 3-piece combo on the menu, but the server was kind enough to accommodate my request for an extra piece of chicken.) It came with a container of gravy that made me wonder what it was for, immediately. Then I remembered all the commercials and YouTube videos where food reviewers either slathered their chicken with the gravy or they dunked it into the gravy. I was so hungry that I forgot for a few seconds that the gravy was for the chicken, thus I drank most of the gravy!! The dining area is constantly cleaned and draws a diverse crowd. Because it is at the beginning of downtown it does attract some homeless people as well. But, that's life in the big city, right? When I went to the restroom I found it amusing that a male Jollibee employee was changing his shirt. It seemed he was done for the day. Overall, it was a pleasant meal. There's not much to be said since this is comfort food, not gourmet food!

I arrived around 5:40 PM, but getting into the parking lot took longer than expected because of the very long drive-thru line and limited parking. Once inside, I waited about 5 minutes at the counter before anyone acknowledged me. I was the only customer waiting inside. I even stood near the online pickup area for a while, hoping someone would ask if I needed help, but several employees walked by without acknowledging me. Two cashiers looked in my direction multiple times but continued their conversation instead of checking whether I was waiting for an order. I finally interrupted to let them know I was there for an online pickup and gave them my name. Unfortunately, there seemed to be confusion about my order. One employee pointed to another, who then pointed back to the first employee while continuing to prepare food. No one was able to tell me whether my order was ready. Thankfully, an employee wearing a different colored shirt (a manager I'm assuming) noticed I hadn't been helped. She immediately apologized, asked for my name, checked on my order, and informed the kitchen that more chicken needed to be prepared. Shortly after, another manager also stepped in, apologized, and helped get everything together. I finally left with my order at 6:09 PM, nearly 40 minutes after my scheduled pickup time. The food was fresh, delicious, and the restaurant itself was clean, which is why I'm giving 5 stars for the food and cleanliness. However, this isn't the first time I've had to wait an unusually long time just to be acknowledged for an online pickup. In the past, my food has at least been ready once someone finally helped me. This visit was different because not only was I ignored, but my order also wasn't ready. I understand that restaurants are fast-paced environments and that unexpected staffing shortages can happen if someone calls out sick. However, there appeared to be plenty of staff working during my visit. My concern wasn't the number of employees--it was the lack of communication, urgency, and teamwork. I believe additional customer service and workflow training could help employees become more productive and ensure that customers, especially those picking up online orders, are acknowledged promptly. A simple greeting such as, "We'll be right with you," or "Let me check on your order," would have made a significant difference. Good communication goes a long way and leaves customers feeling valued, even during busy times.

I just wanted to go to a place that does just that and Cane's Chicken Fingers is basically that as they sell in combos only has always been my biggest vice it's rather easy to order it's either chicken sandwich but for me it was chicken fingers which comes in 3, 4 or 6 I just got the 3 finger combo which comes with a cane's sauce, fries, Texas toast and drink. Placed my order then given a number and my cup pre filled with ice which took the moment to fill with either soft drinks or Cane's Iced Tea which is what I did just unsweetened was good and took a seat at one of many is what I do like about Raising Cane's and the decor and vibe is very friendly and vibrant as I got instantly greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Everything was very nice and fresh, fries were hot and crispy nothing really negative to say...just that it was boring for me personally and yes the order came rather fast making me think it was already made and kept warm didn't bother me the choices was very minimal and no other added flavors like hot and spicy or sauce options during this hot summer was made even on this National Fried Chicken Day.

At the time, he stated that him and his partner were in a competition to see how many triples they could sell, but figured I'd keep that in the back of my mind for our next visit. We came here on a recommendation from my boyfriend's coworker and I'm glad we came! The burgers and fries were made fresh. There are only a hand full of tables inside and a small bar area, but there is also outdoor seating outside, too! A neat fact is that there were pictures posted from when the shop first opened up and to see They Daley as a fixture in Chinatown is amazing since they've stuck around and adapted to the development around. The burger was delicious, too. They have an aioli sauce that was good with diced up pickles. Usually I request no pickles but the small bursts really added to the texture and feel of the burger overall. 10/10 would come again!

I'm pleased to report that this latest order contained a perfectly prepared burger and a bag of crispy fries (as ordered). The remaining nitpicks were: 1) having to wait an additional 10 minutes past the time the order was supposed to be ready, 2) paying $6 for a bag of fries. Increase the price of the burger by $1 and reduce the price of the fries. Yes, the total would be the same but the value would be where it belongs. In any case, $10 is money well spent for a great burger.
