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.

Awesome service but food was very salty. We tried:…read more- 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

Yummy! 4.5/5! We got…read moreone savory hand pie (I believe the chicken and garlic) and the apple ginger hand pie. Both were VERY yummy. My boyfriend said the savory hand pie reminded him of dumpling filling. The filling was nicely seasoned and a bit juicy. The puff pastry for both hand pies was flaky and buttery. It was awesome. The star for me was the apple ginger hand pie. I usually don't care to buy apple pie, but I would get that again. I never thought that about adding ginger to aople pie but it really works and adds more warmth and something special to it. The staff there was incredible kind, and they looked like they were having so much fun, especially the owner. She had us ring a bell for getting one of the last hand pies and took a picture with us on her phone. It was super cute and would highly recommend trying out!

The top layers were soft instead of crispy, and the inside felt underbake. The texture was more doughy than flaky, and there was very little pistachio. It was also too sweet and felt heavy rather than balanced. For $5, I expected much better quality. I really wanted to like it, but this didn't meet expectations.

Takeout dinner from the Honolulu Farmers' Market in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Located on the grounds of The Neal S. Blaisdell Center (corner of Ward Avenue and Kapiolani Boulevard), I saw the sign, "Spaetzle". There was a delicious fragrance coming from this vendor, so, I got closer and scanned the menu. I selected the Special of the Day: Bay scallops & Bacon bowl because I like garlic, asparagus, and corn... along with scallops and bacon! Service was friendly and helpful. Paying with cash saved me some money. My order was ready in no time. It was yummy! The scallops were fresh and on the sweet side. The ingredients went well together! The German noodles, spaetzle, were nicely chewy! Thanks for the new foodie experience! Note: parking was free in the NBC structure - enter from King Street. We drove closer to the entrance of the market... towards Kapiolani Boulevard.

They made it fresh to order so it was piping hot and full of mushrooms and the kale was a nice contrast too. The truffle flavor was perfect and not too overwhelming. I really liked that they pan fried it to add a nice crunch and texture to the spaetzle which is usually just soft and one dimensional. Definitely would recommend! It was $19 and a good size portion for the price. It's pretty rich so recommend sharing it.

The Honolulu Sandwich Station is a food stand just outside of the Sam's Club doors. The menu is…read morelimited, with only 4 sandwiches, but for me it's enough of a selection for an after-Sam's-Club-shopping-sesh snack. (Because of the location, I'd probably only eat here after Sam's Club shopping.) THE PULLED PORK SANDWICH - $5 Slow-roasted pulled pork in a mild BBQ sauce, topped with dill pickle slices and more BBQ sauce. Jalapeños are added upon request. THE CHEESE & STEAK SANDWICH - $6 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/R-xHPApcQEjDFld8JZ_atQ?select=7mLfAWxv0Z9M-tzK4IUrGg#1fdwKVkVWY5ijr-KCsWaEQ This is exactly as it sounds--a cheese and steak sandwich. Sliced grilled steak topped with cheese and Secret Garlic Sauce, on a French roll. BBQ sauce and jalapeños may be added upon request. We would probably not order this one again. Not that it was bad or anything... It was pretty good/average I guess. Maybe it's because we had this with the BBQ sauce (?) and there was a little too much going on? Not sure. But for $6, it's worth a try. THE NEW YORKER HOT PASTRAMI SANDWICH - $7 More of a traditionally put-together pastrami sandwich with sauerkraut and yellow mustard on a French roll. I love the simple pastrami-mustard combo. Throw in some sauerkraut, and it's a match made in Heaven IMO. The New Yorker is a great find. However, this pastrami isn't the melt-in-your-mouth fatty cuts you'd find in NY or Chicago; it's more like glorified corned beef, but still good. Recommended. THE WEST COAST HOT PASTRAMI SANDWICH - $7 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/R-xHPApcQEjDFld8JZ_atQ?select=7mLfAWxv0Z9M-tzK4IUrGg#7mLfAWxv0Z9M-tzK4IUrGg Warm and tender pastrami served on a French roll, topped with cheese, Secret Garlic Sauce, jalapeños, and BBQ sauce. This West Coast Pastrami Sandwich has a lot going on. I feel like the sauces kind of take away from the expected salt-and-peppery flavors that the pastrami is known for. I'd order this again, but without the BBQ and with less garlic sauce. Jalapeños are a must. ;) Honolulu Sandwich Station is convenient. The sandwiches are filling and not skimpy at all. I really feel like I'm getting my $-worth! I'm torn between 3 and 4 Yelp stars, so I'm going with 3.5. (To me, HSS is more than the Yelp 3-star rating "A-OK," but I can't say that i'm a devout fan. However, I will be buying more sandwiches after shopping at Sam's! New Yorker, come to Mama!! (I'll be sure to update after I try The Pulled Pork Sandwich.) Yelp 365 - #321/365

We chatted a bit about family as she made my Waffle Dog. KC Original Waffle Dog is her best seller. She prepares daily specials for the lunch crowd. The local newspaper neighborhood shop is small with only one table. A few shelves offer leis, candy and other souvenirs. I order at the rear one of the KC waffle dogs. Lavern starts the griddle and pours the batter and adds a hot dog. It as fun to watch her cook. The waffle batter has crispy edges, which are good. The dog is very hot and I have to eat it with care. Laverne provided Tartar sauce to dip the dog. It's a great little snack. I'd return to try her lunch specials. The prices are really reasonable and I love the local vibe.

Better late than never…read more March 26, 2024. Prince Kuhio Day. A group of us foodies decided to meet up at Mr. Coffee Bean Head (which unfortunately closed) for coffee to support local. Auntie (aka Nadine C.) recommended us to try them, especially new, local small businesses. After we got our cup of Joe, we sat down to discuss our foodie and travel adventures. None of us had eaten breakfast and it was now 8am where adjoining business of Da Ohana Kine Snack Shop (DOK) opened. DOK started off at Ohana Hale Marketplace where several Yeeps on the table remembered this booth. I did see waffle dogs at Ohana Hale Marketplace but never patronized them. Waffle dogs bring back fond memories of KC Drive Inn as they were an iconic business on the top of Kapahulu Ave. I was introduced to them when I'd hang around with my calabash cousin and family. I recall pulling up to this business where they'd order waffle dogs and the peanut butter milkshakes. Before we could even stand up, Peter Y. generously ordered waffle dogs for everyone. It was the first order of the day for the owner and she seemed thrilled. We waited patiently for the grill to get hot so she could prepare them. I love hot dogs with mustard and these waffle dogs are no exception. I generously placed French's yellow mustard on top and chowed down. Loved the crispy edges and the semi sweet doughy center. Great texture and flavor contrasts to the hot dog and yellow mustard. Perhaps it was too early but the owner could have been more customer friendly. Overall, a great experience at DOK where I'd be game for a repeat visit. The waffle dogs hold a special place in my heart as it recalls the fond memories of my childhood days.

They don't necessarily have a set menu so your best bet is to check out their Instagram page to see where they will be and what will they be serving. My favorite sandwich thus far is their po'ipu (turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto). The bread they use is foccacia which will fill you up pretty quickly. And because they usually operate during work day hours, it is best that you just eat half of the sandwich to avoid that afternoon crash. Prices for these sandwiches may be on the higher side but the quality of the food makes up for it. This food truck is definitely worth checking out. Make sure you follow their Instagram account and see where they will end up. Pro tip: turn on that notifications to see where they are and head there before the lunch rush appears.
