Visited Honolulu Bistro yesterday and usually don't like Bistro's cause to me it means little food and high prices. But I'm glad to see Honolulu Bistro was different. I tried the pastrami sandwich with the mango drink and "loved" both the sandwich and the drink. There was enough pastrami and cheese ratio that I liked. It even came with a mustard sauce that I thoroughly enjoyed. The mango drink was also delicious. Can't wait to go back to try the corn beef sandwich. The guy serving at the counter was very helpful and pleasant all though he was the only one there and had a nice crowd. He handled the crowd and did everything like a pro. Nice little place and can't wait to go back again read more

If you know me, you'll know I'm a smoothie fanatic and Honolulu Bistro does not mess around when it comes to liquid gold! It was a lazy Sunday morning and the boyfriend and I were in the area, we decided to stop by Ohana Hale Marketplace to check out the newest shops and businesses. Feeling low on energy, the friendly staff is what initially drew us to this biz. We were greeted with the cheeriest good morning; however, it was the delicious smoothies and the smell of grilled cheese sandwiches that really pulled us in. We ordered two smoothies: the black Amanda and the power green. The black Amanda was the perfect blend of coconut and coffee to give you the kick in the butt you need to get your day going! I'm a huge fan of green smoothies--the boyfriend? Not so much. The power green was great! It was perfectly flavored to be not too sweet and not too bitter. I'm a little embarrassed but I drank and hogged the 32 oz jar to myself! The smoothie was both filling and refreshing. read more

The delivery company is Door Dash. 2 of my coworkers ordered The Pastrami Sandwich- caramelized onions and mozzarella cheese topped with kosher dill pickles. $12.0 I ordered the delicious Salad in a jar. Spinach, strawberries, Feta cheese, Pecans, and homemade Passion Fruit Vinaigrette Dressing drizzled on top. $12 Sharon Grace ordered the Parfait- Blueberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Raspberries layered in Honey Greek Yogurt and topped with granola and drizzled honey. $6 Shane ordered The Local- Angus Corned Beef with American Cheese on Jumbo white bread. $8.50 Unfortunately, the local was left out of the order.

Ohana marketplace on ward! Fun times! So many tiny places to visit, eat at and shop! Honolulu bistro caught my eye with the cute venue and trendy menu. Got a vegetarian sandwich! Pesto sun dried tomatoes, spinach, cheese galore! Unfortunately they put turkey... didn't kill me or anything lol, so not too much alarm. (So this sandwich was actually the deluxe) Omg! I almost dare anyone to order extra cheese. This is like the grilled cheese of your dreams. Mine at home are always skimpy, begging for more butter or more fixings! This one was amazing! I had a hard time trying to take a picture! The cheese was melting everywhere, burning my fingers! So good. I got half home... yes it's oily at that point. But expected. Eat it all hot if possible! Really naughty good. Enjoy! Get one of their refreshing drinks to go with it! read more

I have been wanting to here since I first saw @shootzwego post the sandwich and soup on instagram. It looked so so good. And I had very high expectations. They were met!! I didn't know there would be around a 20min wait, so I partly wish I had ordered on-line and picked up. But there is enough stuff around to keep you amused. The staff was super friendly, (little blonde lady) and the owner (I think) was talking to a tradesman about there expansion to the store. She was just so nice! How are the staff so so nice?? The soup was divine, the sandwich was exceptionally grilled. I loved the mustard and pickles on the side. Next up I'm going to try the black Amanda drinj. And I can't wait!!! read more

Hooray for online ordering. It makes take-out so quick and painless. It also lets you see what's on the menu ahead of time! It took me a while to figure out which grilled cheese sammie to try because they all look delicious on the website (yes, they have pictures of each menu item!). I decided to try the pesto deluxe and I loved it! I would definitely order this one again, next time with a cup of tomato soup for dipping. I saw a lot of people ordering the blended juices - I may need to add that to my next order as well! read more

So, we found ourselves at Ohana Marketplace, and after wandering around for a while, hubs said he wanted something sweet. We wandered over to Honolulu Bistro, and he decided he wanted a smoothie. I did not see any prices listed on any of the boards, and I suggested he ask how much or just go with a small smoothie. Well, hubs didn't bother to ask how much, but did take my suggestion and went with the small Jungle beach. While we waited, we chatted with the vendor across the way, and watched while numbers were called before us, and then after us. There were two people making smoothies, and we figured it would be 5-10 minutes tops. After the third customer with a number that came after us grabbed their smoothie, hubs got irate and asked "how long does it take to make the smoothie?". At this point, we were waiting 25 minutes and I had to double check my watch. The lady behind the counter was apologetic, and insisted his order was up next. She then proceeded to make his smoothie. *insert face-palm* When she handed him his order, she upsized him from a small to a medium and apologized for the delay. The smoothie was ok, but tasted mainly like papaya, and not much of pineapple, passionfruit, lemon or orange flavors as expected. I appreciate that she took that extra step and upsized his drink, although I am not sure if I'd try them again for a smoothie. Perhaps a grilled sandwich, maybe. read more

One of my favorite places to get a grilled cheese! Andrew and Kelly owners of Honolulu Bistro are so dedicated to their shop. First met the two at Ohana Hale Marketplace and watched them grow until the marketplace closed their doors to a bunch of local small businesses including Honolulu Bistro. After a few months of being temporarily closed, Honolulu Bistro has reopened at their new shop at Ala Moana Shopping Center ground floor next to Jollibees!!! Congrats Honolulu Bistro on your store opening!!! read more

Ok sandwiches. Not worth the hype. Came here yesterday for lunch because we had been hearing so much about these grilled cheese sandwiches from Honolulu bistro. I ordered the local deluxe which came with corned beef and hash browns in the sandwich along with the normal cheese stuffs. You would be hard pressed to find the speckles of corned beef they put in the sandwich. Definitely not worth the extra two dollars they charged on top of the $10 sandwich. The hash browns were not crisped up before they put them in the sandwich, so it kind of just made the sandwich soggy. Didn't really add anything but filler. My boyfriend had the deluxe pesto grilled cheese. The "deluxe" meant that they added special turkey to it. When we were eating it at first we thought they gave us the wrong sandwich because there was no turkey. We both giggled when we found the one thin slice of cold cut that they had put in his sandwich. Also ordered a side of tomato soup, which I found delicious to offset the rich sandwiches. They also only have one small griddle that can fit maybe 4 sandwiches on it, so be prepared for a WAIT when ordering. Also they didn't seem to have a clear designated area for people to wait for their sandwiches, so everyone was blocking the poor jewelry Guys kiosk next door. Overall, tasty sandwich, not worth the prices they are charging. Probably wouldn't go back, but glad I at least tried the hype. read more

Soup and sammies are a sort of a comfort food for me. And I've been dying to try out these sandwiches that I've been seeing all over IG. The golden buttered bread, grilled to perfection and all those cheese pulls I would see just sold me. I had to wait a bit as the OHM was closed periodically to concur with our state guidelines. But the next time I was in the neighborhood, I made it a must to stop by. The menu is pretty straightforward, which I like. Sometimes having only a few things to decide between makes it so much easier. Especially for a first timer. Decided to get their pastrami and tomato bisque. Besides their sandwiches, they have a good amount of juices and coffee beverages available. Because I had my Starbucks in my car, I had to pass on any but I some of their coffee shakes sound amazing! Luckily, since I went shortly after opening, there wasn't any line in front of me. However, because it's made to order, there was a 15-20 min wait. So decided to walk around the market. There was only about half the vendors there, so it was a rather quick walk around, but that's ok. I was able to check out some other eateries I've been hearing about. Came back to wait a little after 15 mins. Felt bad for the worker since she was the only one there and noticed a few people waiting in line and waiting for their order. With only so many sandwich grills, there's only so many she can make at one time. But she seemed to have things under control. My sammie came in a cute cardboard box. Like a personal Pan pizza. Hehe. And got the cutest little soup cup. I was so excited to get home and try them! My sammie was nicely filled with cuts of pastrami. Love that they use a leaner cut of meat as it wasn't drenching in oil like other places. My sandwich didn't have any cheese pull but that's ok. The mozzarella cheese was nicely melted and my bread was perfectly buttered and grilled to a golden perfection. The slices of dill pickles accompanied the saltiness well. I ended up putting some brown mustard on my sandwich since I felt it needed some kind of sauce. Russian dressing would be amazing with this also! Their tomato bisque was yummy. Totally wish that it came in a bigger bowl as it felt it was a little tease. It was also weird to see that the soup is heated up in the microwave. All in all it was a great sammie! Will definitely be back to try another one and get a smoothie too! read more

Wife and I stopped by for our first time here and it won't be the last, the sandwich we got was The Pesto Deluxe but when we got home noticed it wasn't the deluxe. Regular pesto is Mozzarella, spinach, sun dried tomatoes and pesto the deluxe is with turkey. We paid for deluxe but wife never noticed till we was home! But STILL IT WAS AMAZING AND DELICIOUS. read more

Went here today for lunch. I'm not a fan of going to Ala Moana but it was my daughter's birthday and her choice of eating spot. She chose so wisely! Among our choices were the Pastrami, Chipotle Chicken, the Local, Pesto Deluxe, the Aloha, Nutella Banana, Nutella Fluff, and Tomato Bisque. We got several orders of each to share with our group. We could not pick a favorite because they were All So Awesome! Thanks to the Amazing Crew for such a Wonderful job! Just found my reason to return to Ala Moana and the deal with the parking stress! So Worth it! read more

Wanted to try their grilled pastrami sandwich so we went for lunch. Had to wait about 15 mins for the sandwich. Once we got it, it looked good melted cheese the pastrami was hot and the bread was toasted right with their grilled onions. The taste was ok but we thought it wasn't enough pastrami in it. For the price of $12.99 plus tax was ok I guess. Next time ill try their PBJ grilled sandwich. read more

The smoothie was warm so we asked for more ice, and the girl was so rude. She snatched the drink from our hand. I said thank you when she redid it and she just walked away. The grilled cheese we got was ok. My 11 year old saw this on TikTok, I was disappointed in service. read more

Everything is good. I would recommend ordering online because they do get busy. I think there are only 3-4 workers per day. Busy days depending what your ordering may take about 15-20 minutes. If you order a large drink (not sure if applies to all drinks), but I got the coconut mocha frappe, it comes in mason jar, and every-time you bring in the mason jar it is $2 off . read more

Nutrient Rich Quadrant Traversing inside the Ohana Hale Marketplace maze of wonders, I usually get siphoned into a particular quadrant, but time had given me the opportunity to explore different sectors and the perimeter of the place. I was pulled to this booth when the owner "encouraged" me to sample a small cup of the coffee smothie. I enjoyed the crisp, cool, awakening taste of it. The owner made a point that the containers are made of corn (the biodegradable kind ya dig?) which is all cool and buttery because Ive done my fair share of damaging the planet. So okay, maybe the smallest steps to revert my destructive and equally abusive bad habits can slowly start to make a difference. Nutrient rich drinks that make me feel like Im giving my vessel an oil change, and the fact im doing something good for the environement, is a twin win combo. I got the watermelon mint tea the first time, I thought it was a little watery but who am I kidding, its watermelon with ice so yeahhh. Second time I ordered the mixed berry (not so nooby this time yeahhh) It was thick and sweet but not overpowering sweet. I dont like eating berries on its own because they get too thangy (yeah I made up that word lol) or the squirting in my mouth gets too cumbersome, so having it all minced and blended up into a nice liquid form was a better transition for me, pricey but good. Gotta pay good for the good stuff. I mean dontcha hate those places where u take 4 or 5 big sips and its all gone? This drink had the constitution to withstand my big slurps. There was also some doughnuts in the front, freshly made, but sorry Im not so much a donut guy. Theres also these nice looking mason jars you can get if you order the biggest size I believe. I think I also found the dramatic temporary housing solution for my avocado pits! My saplings will be jelly now lol. Word on the street, errr in the maze, is an exciting new menu is coming! Count me in on a return! read more
