Arrived at the food court starving and tired from a 9 mile workout. Charley's was the only place that didn't have a line at 2:50 pm. The kind cashier said I was lucky, if just missed a big rush. She handed me a complimentary cup of ice water and helped me decide what to order. The Philly was delicious!!! I hate the whole thing & the fries in under minutes. I had a nice chat about other restaurants with the three women that worked in the front. It was easy, quick, calm and a great value. I rarely ever eat sandwiches, however I can't remember the last piping hot one that tasted as good as this one! read more

First of all: the food is okay. Just okay. Second of all, the menu board is confusing and staff don't care about helping you understand that, their main priority is hurrying you along so they can overcharge the next person for the quality of food you're receiving. After all of this when I was visibly frustrated and asked for help I was asked why I didn't leave a tip, disgraceful and I'm annoyed. Service is so much better in Australia read more

My wife and have eaten at the Pearlridge Charley's many times in the past and have enjoyed their sandwiches mainly because they are very consistent in making their sandwiches. Last week we did not know where to eat lunch while we were in town so I suggested the food court in Ala Moana. When we go to the food court we usually look at every restaurant stall before deciding on what to eat. My cardiologist strongly hinted that I need to cut out beef and pork from my diet so I have been trying to make healthier choices so I decided on a Chicken cheesesteak combination from Charley"s. My wife also chose to order from Charley's and selected the Philly cheesesteak combination. We both ordered the smallest sandwich size in our combos. My wife agreed with me when I mentioned that the small sandwich at Charley's in Ala Moana is bigger than the one they served at the Pearlridge branch. Up until now I rarely choose a chicken option over beef or pork but the chicken cheesesteak was delicious and my wife enjoyed her meal as well. It is not easy to find healthier options at a foodcourt so I may have to come back for more. read more

LOCATION: inside of ala moana centers food court. next to blue hawaii shrimp & hibachi-san SERVICE: the service there is very good! the workers are super friendly & greets everyone with a free sample to try! who wouldnt want that? haha also, when you order, the kitchen is right in front of us so we can see the cooks making my sandwiches. thats what i lovvvvve! FOOD: they have only sandwiches and like the best fries ever! i got the cheese fries, OMG DELISH! i could eat that for days. they put ALOT of cheese too! so worth the price. my turkey melt was super good too. lots of taste & so fresh and hot. they put tomato, cheese, lettuce & hot mustard in it. tasted super healthy which is why i loved it too haha oh! and when you order a sandwich, they ask you what size bread you want. (yes! there is sizes for their breads) haha small, medium and large. the small was good enough for me. PRICES: the prices here are normal. not too pricey. affordable :) my sandwich was $7 something. but with a combo it came out to $11 only because i wanted cheese fries too. so might be less with a regular combo. read more

I went there for the second time and order the classic with no pickles and tomatoes and light mayo. I was asked to repeat myself 3 times. Looked like the order taker was new. The third time, someone else came to take my order. I repeated it. And I still got pickles, tomato and no mayo. read more

Disappointed with the food I received. I asked them not to put certain items on my sandwich but I ended up getting 2 items on my sandwich that I did not want so I asked them to remake it and they did. They remade is correctly however there was barely any lettuce or tomatoes, just mostly cheese and Philly steak. Won't come back here again. Pearlridge location is better. read more

Pretty good fries. Had a hard time at Myung Ran Hot Dog and SomiSomi. This put a smile on my face for a bit. Altho it was a little heavy on ranch sauce IMO. read more

Visited this place with my hubby for lunch when taking a break from shopping. This place was ok. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be from when I remembered from before. I got their Philly sub with gourmet fries with cheese and bacon. The meat was kinda dry on my sub. I wished they would drench the meat on it with their cheese sauce to at least moisten the meat itself. It's a pretty good size and all, but the meat was a little dry. Their gourmet cheese fries with bacon was downer. The cheese on the fries was very very salty, I didn't get to finish it so I ate around the cheese and bacon. Too bad, I used to like their food. I'll come back again someday. read more

Seriously bad attitudes, horrible customer service! Like if you don't like your job, quit and stinken get a better more fulfilling job, duh Second their Philly cheesesteak sandwiches are tasteless. No flavor, barely any meat. I only gave them an extra star because they make them fresh (by millenials with horrible attitudes btw) read more

I'm hungry! No I'm not! I just can't decide what to eat and I look up OMG! Thats It! I always past by Charley's and never felt the need to eat a sub, but today would be the day. I order a Philly Cheesesteak with provolone cheese,tomatoes, grilled onions on top of a grilled bun. My order came out really fast and I found a seat and stared at the sandwich for a couple of seconds. Thoughts ran through my head looking at the melted cheese on top of the thinly sliced meat, this has to be bad for you but who cares! My review of my sandwich: After my initial bite....Damm I should have ordered the LARGE! It was tasty! Love the grilled bread Love the cheese Love that a simple sandwich could taste so good! BE BACK FOR THE LARGE! read more

I remember when Charley's first began as a chain decades ago. It was quite the novelty for those of us who didn't live in Philadelphia. There was something like three sandwich choices. These days, the options have something like quadrupled. All kinds of sandwich variations - steak, chicken, deli sandwiches. There are salads, and a kid's meal with chicken strips. You can customize. Me, I don't care for green peppers, so I ask to have those left off. Sandwiches come in various sizes. You can make it a meal deal and get fries and a drink. Signature lemonades, soft drinks, and iced tea. They're located in th Ala Moana Center food court. Great place for people watching but prime real estate, so expect higher prices than other locations. read more

Was okay the cashier had no personality whatsoever. No excuses but the sub was okay need more crispy onions and more love. The drinks are good if it's really really cold cold. Nah, no next time for me trying this place. read more

Is it gourmet? No! Does it get the job done? Yes! I work near Ala Moana Center so I frequent the food court for lunch. I will say that this sub shop is conveniently located, the girls at the register are super nice, and the cooks are fast. You watch them cook your food right in front of you so you're not missing any behind the scenes shenanigans, which I appreciate, and they will customize your sub to your liking. I always get the jalapeno cheese steak with jalapeno ranch on top; tastes good! It is a smidgen pricey which is why they aren't getting 4 stars. Otherwise, it's what you would expect out of mall food. read more

So I thought we were going for a jog or hike after work. Well, didn't happen because we got hungry. Fail to workout and ended up pigging out instead. Hungry and starving we headed to the food court. I felt like eating a sandwich and my friend recommended this place. We order the large philly cheesesteak with 3 types of cheese and bacon I think. Oh boy, that's a lot of cheese! It was crunchy and good. But don't think I'll eat there again. I'm so glad we shared that sandwich because I was real full. Their fries were chunky and no seasoning. We saw them make it fresh but not crispy tasting. It's pretty pricey for that meal. The sandwich, fries, and a drink cost $11. read more

Got sick from the steak. Be careful here. Either the grill wasn't properly cleaned or the meat wasn't rotated. Was up *really sick* all night--couple of days to recover. I did speak to them. I hope they've initiated some safeguards and changed some systems and/or staffing. Because....wow. read more

Ordered the ultimate fries, and the large italian deluxe sub. The fries were a fair portion size with a good taste. These were $4.75 a little more than I would have liked to pay. The italian deluxe also tasted fine with a good presentation, but very minimal amount of meat. I like my subs sandwiches loaded with meat these were not. This is a standard fast food sub shop not my first choice. read more

Great food not put together that we'll still really good it came out quickly and ok customer service. Probably would be better with a more clear menu or more options read more

Good for the price and convenience. Food came out hot and was made to order. The bread was soft and was my favorite part. I'd probably eat the roll by itself if possible. We also got the strawberry lemonade which is amazing! There are bits of strawberry and they give you a slightly larger straw so you can get all that goodness when drinking. We came back another time for just the drink so definitely try that if the food doesn't appeal to you. read more

This is by far the worst cheese steak sandwich I've had. Where is the meat. They should be ashamed to charge $8 for this. read more

I imagine the market is the same target market as Subways. Unfortunately Subway does everything better by offering more options and fresher ingredients. Their fries are also way too expensive. On the plus side, their service is fast. 3 stars given the price and what you can get. read more

There's something about the huge arse Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches here. Is it the soft bread or the grilled steak and onions? The melted cheese? Not sure, but smash all of that hot grilled melted goodness together and it's plain BoyzIIMenMotownPhillyBackA-gain great! To me, this is one of the better Philly Cheesesteaks on the island, but then again that may or may not say much (because of the actual sparsity of places serving it, which is too bad for us). Fortunately, at least this one place can satisfy your Philly needs. It's a bit on the spendy side, a large cheesesteak sandwich being $9.99. It can relatively almost feed two people. Add fries and a drink to that for an additional cost and that would satisfy you and your friend. They also have frequent buyer punch cards. Buy seven, get a small eighth for free. read more

I used to eat here all the time because the bread is soft and the sandwiches are yummy. I haven't eaten in the food court for years. I ended up here because I have family in town and we needed to eat fast so we could shop. Of course Charlie's caught my eye. Mmm bacon cheese fries. The bf and I shared a bacon three cheese and it was to die for. We were that hungry so we split a regular with bacon cheese fries and a strawberry lemonade. The fries were crispy even though it was loaded with cheese. The thinly sliced meat covered in cheese and mushrooms hit the spot. Totally have a craving to eat there again. See you next time. Tip: get ranch on the side. read more

After searching high and low for the mythical Hawaiian Shawarma, we land at the unlikeliest of Charley's Grilled Philly Cheesesteak subs. In the food court. Amusing? Yes. Tasty? Yes? Shawarma? Well...if you minus the cheese and mayo and add some hummus and tahini, yes! The large size sandwich $10 fills an entire plate lunch styrofoam box. Yes, the Entire Thang! I enjoyed the Philly Cheesesteak Deluxe which comes with cheese, onion, bell pepper and mushroom, Regular Size for $7, filling a box about two-thirds large size. "Gourmet" fries? Well, for $4 you get a complete heart attack on a plate! Steak fries loaded with nacho cheese and bacon bits. Not my favorite. But HUGE. Lemonade $2.89 = good and drinkable. Does not taste of high fructose like many another lemonade I could mention. All in all, a good meal, will return. read more

I used to always pass by Charley's in the food court not really paying much attention to it until recently! "samples!" "samples!" Oh Charley, I'm a fan! Great Philly cheesesteak and fries! Full of flavor, sauces, meaty, and calories! Enough said. This is my go to spot, whenever I am craving it. Its a bit pricey for fast food but it is well worth it! tip: for a limited time, they have a $7.99 + tax special for small steak sub & fries read more

Being on Lent really blows. The worst part is I did this to myself. No rice, no noodles, my dining options have definitely seen better days. But because of this, I was forced to try new places and things, including Charley's. I ordered the chicken philly and fries combo($8.50). Chicken philly wasn't terrible, just way too much mayo for my liking. Portion size isn't the best if you're a big eater. The fries were thick cut and very lightly salted. Ask for to-go ketchup packets if you want them to have taste. The "gourmet" fries my friend ordered was mediocre at best. Just a handful of fries slathered with ranch dressing, cheese, and bacon bits. Pass-able. I'm not sure I would come back here, only because I know I'm content with a simple sandwich from Subway. But for a sandwich shop conveniently located in a shopping mall, it'll do. read more

Charley's is a good fast food sandwich alternative, serving a variety of Philly cheesesteak like sandwiches. The gourmet fries and lemonade are what a mainly come here for, though, as the cheesesteaks just can't compare to the real thing. The closest thing to real Philly Cheesesteaks you'll find in Hawaii comes from Ono Cheesesteaks in Waikiki. While the food is decent from Charley's, the service is anything but. On my last visit here I ordered a meal for myself and a sandwich and drink for my fiancee. The employee repeated the order back to me and announced the order to the kitchen. I got my two drinks quickly and got my fries relatively quickly too. However, the kitchen gave me only one sandwich. When I looked at the recent, I was only charged for one so the second wasn't made. So I went back to re-order the second sandwich. The employee questioned why I was ordering the same sandwich again when I just got the other one. I explained to her what had happened and just got a stink look... not even a "sorry" or anything like that. Such a problem is better than getting over charged but really?? Do you have to give me stink eye because you screwed up?? read more

Charleys never lets me down. Haha I always always always order Philly cheesesteak. Thats it. I dont get combos bc i barely eat fries believe it or not, and i avoid soda. But today i got Strawberry lemonade. Strawberry Lemonade, so so so good!! I usually dont choose that as a drink bc lemonades are usually sour and just make you wannna keep drinking, like a never ending quench for thirst! But the straberries totally balanced with the sour and was perfect! And the small strawberry chuncks swimming in the drink was a perfect touch! *Def recommend!! (Large) Philly cheesesteak wasnt cut in half for some reason this visit. Usually it is to make handling the sandwich more easier but... i guess the guy forgot to cut it. I was sharing the sub with my sister so we had to rip it in half ourselves... it came out uneven but whatevers. Haaha! Sub was full of flavor. Melted cheese is perfect and idk, its just great!!! :) and filling! One of my favorite food places in the entire foodcourt at Ala Moana! Lots of seating at the ala moana food court. Prices are $$ but worth it. You can also see the people make the subs and fries right infront of you as you wait for your order. read more

worst philly cheese steak ever. Pretty sure philly cheese steaks aren't supposed to have lettuce?... In general, I'm a massive lettuce lover but veggies don't belong in greasy subs. Even worse, the bacon cheese fries used nacho cheese and Bacon Bits??? Bacon bits, like the pre-made bacon crumbs people put in salad. Topped with nacho cheese? Ew? This was pretty gross. Philadelphia should be disappointed. Ps they charged extra for a combo, plus extra for a drink (which should have been part of the combo?), plus extra because its a "regular" drink? ahaha Their pricing system is completely convoluted. read more

Got a traditional Philly cheesesteak and the ultimate fries. Both were good, but not amazing. If there is a next time, I'm going to see if they can add chili to the ultimate fries to truly make them ultimate! The fries were yummy, but you can tell the quality of the potato wasn't anything special. Hard to not like fries with bacon, cheese and ranch! If I could have them any way, I would do the same with a higher grade potato, and use real cheese instead of a liquid nacho cheese. Perhaps even seasoned fries to start? Add chili!?! Yum! As for the cheesesteak, I like how they have so many different varieties. I always like to start with the original, which I did. I also like how their preparation area is in plain view, kind of fun to watch them to prepare the food. They use frozen beef. I could imagine how amazing the sandwiches would taste of the ingredients were fresh. Good bun, and nothing stand out about the shredded iceberg lettuce or tomato. I don't think I'll go back, but the food wasn't bad, I would rather spend my money on something I find more amazing read more

Walking through the mall can make a girl hungry, and wouldn't you know it I was craving a sub: So I ordered the #1, which is a philly cheesesteak, bacon and cheese fries, and a drink, which came out to roughly $12! Yikes! Did not start off so great with the crazy high prices. But like I said, I was hungry for that philly, so I paid up. The cheesesteak and fries actually weren't too bad, I mean its the mall, so my expectations weren't too high, BUT here's why I went for 2 stars instead of 3: While I was waiting for my food, the local brother working the grill kept running his mouth about working there. "blah blah blah, and they're only paying me minimum for this $H!t!", BRAH, then quit! You're making it uncomfortable for everybody standing here waiting for they're crazy expensive food. Here the deal Charley's: If you're gonna charge me an arm and a leg to eat you're subs at least pay the guy decently for running your grill. That way he's happy, and you're customers aren't left staring uncomfortably at the ground. read more

Food was delicious! My brother had the chicken Phil's and I had the Philly steak. It was smothered in cheese and just melted in my mouth . Omg so good. I deducted a star because it is kinda pricey . I may go back again. read more

Chicken and bacon is all I can say......considering all the food court has to offer.....

Very salty and little other flavor. Barely any mushrooms or onions. Cheese was not cooked with the meat and only partially melted

Had a great sub here - philly cheese steak with bacon. Also had cheese fries Everything was really good. Beats the heck out of Subway and Quiznos read more

Very dissapointing....... I was very excited to try this place and when I got my food and opened it up all I got was a roll with a piece of meat green pepper, onion & cheese. ( u can see the pic I took. Took it back to the register and asked the cashier who I thought was the manager and showed it to her and she says u want another I said no just want food in the sandwich she then tossed it in the trash with attitude & gave me another and then they tossed it in box sideways.( Sad for the owners food cost). See pic 2 Ruined my excitement to try it but I did and taste was great but your cooks should be ashamed of what they serve. Its taste and presentation. Presentation ZERO Your staff r not professional. I won't be back. read more

I love their Cheesesteaks. I've had the really good ones in Philly, New York, NJ and this is the closest, in my opinion, to the real thing. Sounds funny being that this is a fast food/franchise store but the overall quality is pretty good. Nice soft fresh bread, fresh veggies, nice portion of meat, the cheese is soft and stretchy (some places use those neon orange fake powdered cheese but not here!) and the best part is they make the Subs right in front of you. You can have the sub the way you like it - no tomatoes? no problem. No mayo? No problem. They also have lots of great deals and coupons. They will either hand you a little coupon depending on the promotion they have, or check the back of your receipt and sometimes they have an offer where they ask you to answer a quick survey online and you can get free fries/drink with a purchase of a sandwich - not bad right? Try them when you're at Ala Moana Center :) read more

Hardly any meat or anything else on a small Philly Cheesesteak. $7.50 for that was not worth it.
