The cashier was nice and friendly. I meant to grab one sandwich for us to try but saw the specials sign and got the Portobello Mushroom Sando too. I'm prefer my veggies so I preferred the Mushroom sandwich I had the whole thing for dinner) but the Pork sando was ok. It's a lot of meat but like I said, I'm more of a veggie person.

Had it from the food truck outside of Patagonia for a Friends of Kewalos event, and it was pretty good! I shared a portabello katsu and a pork katsu sandwich (not pictured) and both were fried well with soft bread. The pork was a bit dry at times, and the sauce was standard delicious katsu sauce. The portabello katsu was well balanced with the toppings and the mushroom was cooked perfectly! Service was quick and polite and the owners were working hard!

So good! Perfect Katsu (cutlet) in a fluffy bread. When you go to Kakaako Farmer's Market in Honolulu, this place is a must try place for a meat lover! Service is good and prompt. Fries are very good.

I've been waiting a long time to try them during my visits to O'ahu, and I'm glad I did! Not only did I get to try their classic katsu flavor, but their new Spam Katsu as well! The owner and staff are all incredibly nice and you can always find them at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market on saturdays with their food truck setup! - Miguel Morales Photography

Always a great choice at Katsu Sando! I've only tried this at the Kakaako Farmers Marker on Saturdays so not sure where else they might pop up. I was originally hooked with the chicken katsu Sando but I also got a chance to try the tonkatsu, portabello special, and the corned beef hash special. All were super tasty! The fry on these baddies are perfection with the ultra soft bread. The only junk thing sometimes is the wait can be long because everyone knows how good it is here! Good things take time and it's definitely worth the wait!

Chicken katsu sando

Over excited bud: "So what did you think of the katsu sando?" Me reading a random story on CNBC: "It was alright". Over excited bud: "You didn't love how perfectly cooked the katsu was"? Me channel surfing the mundane midday shows: "It was alright, a little burnt". Over excited bud: "You didn't appreciate they cut off the crust or their tasty sauce"? Me playing Angry Birds: "It was alright. The bread still had some crust and was day old and the sauce unevenly spread but..." Bud: "Let me guess; alright. Who are you Matthew McConaughey with your alright, alright, alright???" Me trying to find a matching sock: "It was just alright. It's food truck food from a farmers market. You're hungry, it satisfies. It is what it is. Alright". Fairly priced; $10. Friendly service.

Tonkatsu sando
Mic O.

This is one of the best things you can get at the Kakaako farmers market on Saturday mornings. A thick piece of tonkatsu (fried pork breaded in panko) paired with shredded cabbage and just the right amount of tonkatsu sauce, all sandwiched between soft Japanese bread. The pork is juicy and cooked almost perfectly. Pros: -Taste is so close to Katsu Sandos you get in Japan -Cost is reasonable ($12) -Able to preorder Cons: -Only available on Saturday 8am to 12pm in the farmers market Already craving this again... Go try it!

Takoyaki, Original and Negi-Mayo. Oishi! Two missing...I was too anxious to eat it! Highly recommended!
Kathy N.

Highly recommend. Delicious and tasty!! The sauce and texture is delicious. They cook it while you wait, so everything is fresh and hot.

So a couple weeks ago one of my friends from work brought me a chicken katsu sandwich. So I had the craving today and decided to stop by and check out the menu. The price is between the seemed like the middle-higher side but don't be intimidated the sandwiches worth the price.... and Yes it is a little extreme but the katsu sandwich was so good last time that I had to sample everything soooooo...... I got the Tonkatsu sando, chicken katsu sando, wagu menchi katsu burger, curry fries , and furikaki fries. They were all good and I like how there is the light breaded katsu layer while the fries were good too. We will be back and my other friends from work will be stopping by since the all said it smelled amazing l.

Pork tonkatsu sando
Leslene C.

This is our 2nd time purchasing from this food truck at Kakaako Farmers Market, very consistent and same as 1st time. Ordered the portabello sando, pork katsu sando, egg salad and furikake fries. All was amazing, the pork is juicy & thick (not tough) and great sauce, portabello is thick & meaty. Furikake fries amazes me how they get the furikake to stick to the fries, also ordered extray crispy and got that. Love the bread they use. Be prepared to wait for your order at least 10-15 min as they prepare it as you order, but so worth the wait. You will love the fresh made to order sando. Highly suggest to stop and try their sando's.

Furikake fries
Irene M.

Oh they just had me at fries *_*; was just in a grazing mood and how can you not try curry fries!? Well I didn't because I think I got the wrong order because it was furikake :( and they were busy it took awhile so I didn't want to dispute it. How was it ohhh yummy of course!! Portion size is huge made to order fresh hot fries filled the take out hamburger box all coated in furikake and came with a yummy zesty sauce I just couldn't get enough of omg! Definitely going back to try the curry fries (pray for me to have another Saturday off) because I absolutely loved it...thank you!!

Katsu sando
Leicie Y.

Took me a while to finally try this place and what the heck took me so long. The katsu sando here is delicious. The tonkatsu is thick and nicely breaded paired with a layer of cabbage and between two slices of shokupan. The katsu burger was also tender and juicy and so good. But the most surprising winner of this food truck is the fries. I prefer the furikake fries over the curry fries but they are both crunchy and packed with flavor. It is a little pricy and there is almost always a line but I think it is definitely worth checking out. I've stopped by on Saturdays and the Kaka'ako farmer's market but check out their instagram to see their other locations.

Tonkatsu Sandwich
Olivier E.

Who doesn't love farmers' markets? Such a mix of different vendors coming together to provide for the community and vice versa, the community supporting local vendors! I've never been to the Kakaako Farmers Market and the number one reason I decided to finally go was to try the Tonkatsu Sandwich at Katsu Sando 808. I've been seeing it on social media and wanted to see what the hype was about. Writing this today, I've been to the Kakaako Farmer's Market a bunch of times now and have definitely brought some of my friends along to try the IG famous katsu sandwiches. Depending on the time you go, the line could be very long or no line at all at Katsu Sando 808. The farmer's market runs through 9am - 12pm and I've notice that towards noon, the line isn't as long. Don't go too late, or they will run out. I've only tried their tonkatsu sandwich, which is the pork katsu, but I do plan on trying their chicken katsu sandwich. Their tonkatsu sandwich is very moist and has the perfect crisp. It comes between two fluffy slices of crustless Japanese bread and a helping of shredded cabbage mixed with katsu sauce. At first place, it doesn't really look like a huge sandwich, but their tonkatsu is thick and makes for a really nice snack. Highly recommend if ever at the Kakaako Farmer's Market!

Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

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.

We tried the kouign amann with the toppings she mentioned as vegan (the butter one is not), and they were pretty good, especially with the cinnamon topping!

The kouign amann seems like a popular item as we bought the last of them (we had wanted four, but there were only three) and it was still early afternoon. There is a parking garage nearby that allowed for long enough free parking for us to go order and grab our goodies to go. The location itself doesn't have a lot of seating space, so it seems best set up for takeout, but it is a pleasantly bright space and the outdoor seating seems like it would be nice as they're not on a main throughfare. It's far from where my family lives on the island that we stay with when we're visiting, but next time we're near Ala Moana around lunchtime, we'll definitely stop by for some vegan goodies!

About 10 minutes before my 2:00 PM pickup time, I received a text letting me know my order was ready, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the IL Parma sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. At $24, it's definitely on the expensive side for a sandwich, but the quality of the ingredients and the freshness made it worth every penny. The flavors were fantastic, and I didn't mind paying the premium price after taking that first bite. Parking can be a little tricky. I'm not sure whether customers are allowed to use the Hana Koa parking lot for quick pickups, but a kind employee allowed me to park there while I ran in to grab my order.

After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.
