Lobster Roll was ehhhhh. Jolene Markets lobster rolls are waaaaaay better. Fat Cheeks serve their lobster with a bag of potato chips for about $20 and don't allow the option to upgrade chips to fries, which sucks. My bun was dry as f**k. Don't plan on coming back or recommending this to others. read more

Got to try the Lobster roll which was around $20. Quite expensive for a small roll but we were very surprised as it tasted great. The outside was like a garlic bread type and the lobster wasn't dry at all. Nothing on the menu caught our eye so for now we can only speak on the lobster roll. read more

Yum!! This is hands down my favorite place to get a lobster roll. Cheapest I've ever seen and you get plenty of lobster! It doesn't look huge, but you'll be full after eating it. They don't charge market price like most places on island. They also have more than just the traditional butter lobster roll to pick from. I always get the truffle bacon lobster roll and I'm never disappointed. It comes with your choice of chips or a drink. I opted for the mango lemonade (up charge for that) and oh boy was it good!! I wanted to try something new so I got the double patty lobster burger too. It's totally with the price. It was huge. The lobster and the beef were so good together. Also, best fries I've ever had. It was super crispy on the outside. I can't recommend coming here enough. It's worth it every penny and the staff are all so nice. You'll feel like family coming in and stopping by. You order inside at the window and you can dine in and sit outside. Parking is easy too in the ward center lot. Spaces are a little tight though. Check them out! read more

Love love love! They're located in ohana marketplace towards the back left corner of the building. I tried their weekend special and it was around $17. I would say it's worth it because I've had a few other lobster rolls on the island that are more expensive and/or they skimp on the meat. They give you a lot of lobster meat, but I felt like the truffle oil and bacon overpowered the taste of the lobster. I will be back to try their trio. read more

This lunch combo is my new favorite spot and one I can never wait to have again! read more

Great Service ! They were very friendly and attentive. We had the lobster roll (it was stuffed btw), the chicken sandwich (perfect spice to it and they give you two Huge chicken slices) a side of fries that were so crunchy and the potato salad which was a tad different but good. The mango lemonade is a must. Everything was sooo tasty and delicious. No complaints. Will definitely come back! read more

Wife had the lobster BLT and I had the fried fish and fries! 100/10! Service was fast and the atmosphere was nice and quaint !

We all have that one place that we're like, "how have I never reviewed them?!" For me, that's Fat Cheeks. Here's all you need to know: You're doing yourself a disservice if you haven't tried it. The love in the food here is palpable. Every time I eat something from Fat Cheeks, I want to return the next day to eat it again. With a new format in place, the menu will be changing regularly--twice month. So if you like it, I suggest you get it as often as possible before it's gone. Her famous pork belly sandwiches are indescribably good with layer upon layer of flavor, topped off with pickled red onions that serve as the "cherry on top" (Also, made as a bowl if you're not into finger-lickin'). More recently, I had a new menu item: the spicy chimichurri chicken bowl. I LOVE me some chimichurri...like, if I had it on my arm, my arm would be in danger of being eaten like a chicken wing. And this bowl did not disappoint (Please keep this in the rotation regularly). Bottom line: if you like spices and flavors, this is your joint. If you like bland and boring, keep walking. The food here is like a flavor explosion in your mouth, always delicious, never boring. And the service is top notch. read more

My husband always wanted to eat a lobster roll. What a better night to enjoy one... on his birthday. My daughter called and the employee on the phone was so nice! When they came home, we devoured it! Omg, what a treat! I ordered the crab roll and that was so delish! Snagged a bite of the lobster roll... holy crap!! And the soups?! Can't go wrong. I am so full now, so I'm going to get my fat cheeks, fat neck, fat okole and fat stomach to bed. Lol! read more

After learning my go-to spot for a lobster roll raised their price by almost 50% for the sandwich, it was time to try elsewhere. And I decided on Fat Cheeks. Pluses: Yay for online ordering. Fat Cheeks offers variation on their lobster rolls... Love that I have choices! You can get it plain with just salt and pepper, dressed with mayo and celery (a no go for me since celery is yuck), and buttered with garlic and herbs. They also have...drum roll...truffle and bacon!!! Sandwiches are about a third smaller than what I'm used to, but at a price $16-$17 with a choice of Maui potato chips, I was definitely sold. Lobster rolls (buttered and the truffle/bacon) were delicious. Toasted bun that stayed crunchy despite takeout and a drive to the stadium area. Loved that I could taste the chunks of lobster, and the added bacon and truffle were rich complements. Lemon curd tart was a nice contrasting taste for dessert. Creamy and bright with a dense crust. Big enough for 2 to share after eating a whole sandwich. Deltas: Sandwich definitely messy as it is quite juicy/buttery at the base. I needed more than two napkins. Pass on the crab sandwich. It's shredded crab with not much flavor and not too appetizing-looking. I'm thinking they use fresh crab but fill it with canned crab. I'm still sad about my first fave place, but Fat Cheeks is a good substitute to appease my lobster roll craving. read more

Been coming to ohana Hale quite a bit to get t shirts (see Tee by you review) and my kids have been wanting to try the food. Fat Cheeks is located on the Mauka side of the marketplace all the way in the back. Pretty much everything is made from scratch here. I saw them rolling out the dough for their rolls - which were crisp on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. Tried their vege sandwich - soy boy. made with yuba - these are soy skins that you'd skim off the top if you were making soy milk. Different from soy curls these are delectable little protein ribbons. The yuba is soaked in sesame and garlic and crammed into a yummy sandwich with broccoli and mayo. It was a nice sandwich - good alternative to a bale vege sandwich (see other review). Owner is super nice would come again read more

I ordered the buttered lobster roll, with fries, truffle mayo, and guava lemonade. It was delicious. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo. They did not take it light with the lobster roll. Plenty of lobster inserted into the roll. The chips were perfect because they were crisp on the outside but soft in the middle. Gave lemonade was amazing. Highly recommend this place if you are in town. read more

Ate here with a friend for the first time. I ordered fish and fries was very good. I'm not into the lobster roll but may be I'll just try it just to say I tried it. Place was clean and we got to eat outdoors. I would return to try other things on the menu. It's very pricey for takeout but in this day and time what isn't. The staff was nice and the menu is easy to understand. read more

I don't know where to begin. I stumble upon this restaurant on valentine day. I always see this on yelp. My wife loves shellfish I I use to go to another place to buy them but they don't cook them like they use to. So I came here to buy her one and I must say she loved it. I purchased the spicy chicken sandwich and immediately fell in love. This place is makes me speechless. The food here is so amazing we came by 3 days in a row. If you love fish, I'll put money they have the best fried fish on the island. I love the food here and will always support Fat Cheeks. And you get so much for you money. read more

AH-MAY-ZING! AMAZING! The lobster roll was delicious and went perfectly with the warm buttery roll. The fried fish was crispy out the outside but moist on the inside. We got there right when they opened and was instantly greeted. We told her that we saw a TikTok and had to try it. I am so happy we stopped by.

This is hands down the best food we had on our trip in Waikiki and we went to a lot food spots during our stay. It was so good that we ordered dine-in and got two additional orders to go. The lobster was buttery and flavorful. The burgers were amazing. The staff were great and welcoming. Save your time and money at all the other spots and go to Fat Cheeks. The food was so good we forgot to take a photo of it. read more

Fantastic food at a fantastic price. Would go again now if I could. Awesome little food experience.

Much of this is personal preference. I ordered the Jumbo lobster roll twice, first time it has a lot of butter way too much for me, it was soaked in butter and could not really taste the lobster. Second time I ordered light on the butter and it was really good except a little too salty for my taste. What I really liked was the menu indicated how much lobster was on the regular roll (3.5oz) and jumbo (6.0oz). I think many places put less the 3.5oz but I really liked the amount of lobster in the jumbo. I think Royal Lobster in Waikiki is a little better tasting( personal preference) but this place is not far behind and the Jumbo lobster roll here is the better value. I'll go back for the Jumbo lightly buttered next time I'm in the area. read more

Braised pork with pickled red onions sandwich! That's all you need to know about Fat Cheeks Hawaii, as they're the only ones in town that can make this quality sandwich. Outstanding! What an odd name for a restaurant! When I asked why the owners chose this name, I was told that it was just a passing thought that sounded cute. And it is! I initially had mistakenly thought it was the Fat Chicks Burgers, formerly at the Waiehu Golf Course and now a food truck in Wailuku, Maui. Sounds similar, but they're two separate entities. Opened in Nov. 2018 at the Ohana Hale Marketplace, Fat Cheeks Hawaii serves a fusion of Asian and Latin cuisine of sandwiches, rice bowls, a few main dishes of chuck steak and whole fish, and some sides. Prices are very reasonable. Here's what I've tried thus far: * Papa's Pig Sandwich. This sandwich consists of braised pork belly, garlic avocado spread, queso fresco cheese, and picked red onions on a homemade sesame bread. The braised pork was so tender and soft that it just melts in your mouth, and it was so tasty. The pickled red onions were sautéed and not crunchy, so they complemented the pork well. The avocado spread and cheese added to the deliciousness of the sandwich. The homemade bun made it a perfect 10! I would order this again and again, as this sandwich is a keeper, as it is so heavenly to eat! For take-out orders, the sandwich is wrapped in a butcher-like white paper and sealed with a cute piggy with fat cheeks sticker. * Whole Fish. The pompano, which I believe is in the papio family, was roasted in basil, Chinese parsley, citrus, and other herbs. The toppings on the fish were lots of Chinese parsley, red onions and celery. The fish was very moist and flavorful. It was served with a side of butter rice, which was based on the owner's mother's recipe using guajillo chili peppers; this was very tasty. * Mini Cornbread Loaf. Served with butter, this cornbread was flavorful and delicious! Real cornbread made with lots of cornmeal, which is how I like it. You can take out or eat in at the cute "penny" counter, with pennies laminated onto the counter (brings back memories of a similar "penny" floor at the now-closed iDcard office at Ward Warehouse). Credit is given to its owners, who are great cooks in their own right, with the cuisines of their heritage roots. Levina Moy is the star owner here, whose family is in the restaurant industry and owns China Pearl in Boston, the oldest dim sum and Cantonese restaurant there. She met her husband, Jared Brown, at the Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island (he currently owns the popular Garibaldi's Pizza right around the corner at Ohana Hale Marketplace). She pursued baking, and has work experiences in the Bakery Dept. at Whole Foods and at the Michelin-rated The Modern in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Levina also has a passion for event planning and catering. After seeing an ad for restaurant entrepreneurs at Ohana Hale Marketplace, both Levina and Jared took that opportunity to move to Hawaii. And the rest is history. Levina is very friendly and personable when you talk to her. She'll explain more about her menu items if you ask. And so is her husband, Jared. Both husband and wife initially had one food booth, but Jared eventually obtained his own booth around the corner to specialize in his delicious pizzas. They make a good team, as when Levina has to step away, husband Jared will pitch in for her. Downsides? There are times when both Levina and Jared may be doing a catering event, so both are not at their booths. Just that you don't know when this happens until you are at their booths. Secondly, I wish that Levina had the time to bake her breads and have them available for sale as she once did when her booth first opened. She's an excellent baker, and hopefully she will be able to hire staff so that she will have the time to bake and expand her menu. Hours of operation are: Tues. to Sat. 10:30a - 7:30p; Sun. 10:30a - 4:30p, Mon. closed. Yes, I will definitely be back, especially for their delicious pork belly sandwich and hopefully for their breads when Levina starts to sell them. The owners are certainly on the right track in achieving their goal of opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant of their own. Highly recommended! read more

TASTE! Wow! Amazing shrimp burger and lobster smash burger! Definitely recommend! 100!

I was walking around the ohana marketplace and I recognized the name from a lot of my friends Instagram posts. I think they are most known for their lobster roll so of course that is what I had to try. I got the butter lobster roll and chips which came out to $15. The chips was just the Maui onion bag chips but the lobster roll was a decent size. Although it doesn't look big, it is filled with a lot of lobster. It comes on a baguette bread and a lemon on the side. It was definitely very tasty and filling. The cashier who took our order was also very friendly and nice! I would come here again and try their other rolls they offer like the crab and shrimp roll. read more

I had the spicy chicken sandwich, while my friend had the bacon lobster sandwich. My sandwich was essentially the same as the regular fried chicken sandwich, but they put a ton of buffalo chicken wing sauce on it, so much sauce that the bun feel apart. They did give a lot of chicken though. My friends lobster bacon sandwich was pretty good. The chips were stale and didn't have enough salt; not really worth eating. People were nice, and I liked the outdoor seating area. Order inside, then walk around back for the tables. They should put some extra napkins out, as some of the sandwiches are messy. But that is the only suggestion I have for them. I plan on coming back to try the bacon lobster. read more

Labyrinth Treasure Came to Ohana Hale Marketplace again for pizza, but it was closed. No problem, it was time to traverse the labyrinth maze for a new food adventure! Papas Pig Sandwich here I come! Braised Pork Belly, Pickled Red Onions, Queso Fresco, Garlic Avocado Spread all cozily snuggled in between warm freshly baked bread! This was my first time enticing my mouth with such a bold and beautiful combination! I felt it was an absolutley amazing tasting experience! The ingredients were fresh, the creaminess of the avocado and cheese, with the sweet and salty of the pork and onions, it was a match made in Hog Heaven! The fresh bread was so soft, every bite I made into the sandwich, felt like a kiss. Owner Levina made me feel like home, when she asked how it was, I was still enjoying every bit of goodness and could only raise my thumb in approval as I couldn't think of the right words at that time to describe how awesome it was lol. I'm already eyeing what to get next, still a lot to choose from! I saw a Shawarma bowl! Will definitely be back! MRC=343% read more
