Found this sweet gem outside of the Hickam exchange (near the parking lot). I was on my way to grab a sandwich from Subway when I noticed the food truck outside. I've always been a fan of Japanese sandwiches, specifically for the Uber soft bread! The menu is quite simple. I've enclosed a picture of it and it's literally all of the menu items the truck offers. I ordered the chicken Katsu Sando and was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the bread soft, the Katsu was crispy and warm and was far from oily. The sauce they used was delicious and complicated everything within the sandwich nicely. Very delicious! I will be stopping by again to try out their wagyu menchi katsu burger! Great customer service and their truck is very well kept! read more

Got to follow them on their Instagram to find out where they stay. They were currently on hickam base by the exchange. I got the tonkastu sando for lunch. It was pretty pricey for the sandwich but it is a specialty item. Fancy. I ordered real quick and paid. Then I had to wait about 6-10 minutes. I should have ordered fries. Lol. Well, next time. The tonkatsu sando was pretty good. The pork was nicely cooked, kind of tough biting into it but it's pork. the bread was super soft tho. That was nice. I want to try the chicken and the other things on the menu next. read more

Stopped by a while back during the Kaka'ako Farmer's Market and had their signature Tonkatsu Sando. The pork cutlet was thick and juicy with a nice coating. The soft Japanese bread, tonkatsu, shredded cabbage and sauce all combined into a wonderful sandwich. It's made to order so expect a bit of a wait, but it's worth it to get it fresh. read more

4.5 stars So I saw this place on social media and it looked really good. They're located at the Kakaako Farmers Market on Saturdays. Let me tell you, go early. They sell out fast. They also only take cash and after you order, it was a bit of a long wait. These are two things that are a pet peeve of mine, however it was totally worth it. I tried the egg salad sandwich which was good but not Japan good if that's what you're expecting. However it was a pretty good sandwich, it had a good amount of egg chunks which is how I like it. Its also a good deal for $5 And then of course I got the tonkatsu sandwich which was $10, however it was worth the price. The tonkatsu was fried nicely and the meat was juicy, not dry or too tough at all. It went really with the soft bread and was filling. The bread they use for their sandwiches are soft, fresh and crustless! I'm not a huge bread person so the only thing is that the bread was a little too thick for me. This place is worth paying cash and waiting. I can't wait to come back and try the potato salad! ******** tonkatsu sando fried nicely and so tasty it's worth it to go read more

At kakaako farmers market. About 10:30am on a Saturday, there was a short line to buy, and a long line waiting on their orders. We got $10 tonkatsu sando, $9 chicken katsu sando, $4.50 furikake fries. Wait was about 10 minutes, I'm so glad we had shade to stand in. Fries came with a spice mayo sauce, maybe the same one that was on the chicken sando. Food was good, tonkatsu a bit on the tough side, chicken tender and juicy. Nice fluffy Japanese bread. Fries were not bad, but I could do without. They don't sell drinks, I think they'd profit from selling some cold water and other drinks. Service was good. If the price was a bit lower I'd give five stars. Not a great location for convenience; We were lucky to find a parking spot in the garage. Their truck is in the far corner of the market. read more

Their food truck it located on Hickam and open for lunch Mon-Fri near the Hickam commissary. Their pricing are good and their Tonkatsu sandwiches and their egg salad sandwiches are fantastic. I feel their fries are best plain but they offer furikake or curry fries as well. They sometimes have curry dipping sauce for the fries. Overall, a great lunch but if you are hungry you will probably need a couple of sandwiches to get filled up. read more

Deliciously juicy chicken katsu sando! Stopped by this truck because I was extremely hungry at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market and i've always wanted to try a katsu sando. My expectations were kind of low because how good could a chicken katsu sandwich can be? and wow I was surprised! The chicken itself was extremely juicy and the batter on the outside was still crispy even though there was a mayo-sriracha(?) type sauce! The bread was also very soft and chewy which complimented the crispy katsu well! I would definitely recommend trying Katsu Sando 808, such a simple concept but very well done! read more

This pork katsu sandwich is yummy. The pork katsu is so tasty, tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The sauce is tangy and sweet, plus there's just enough shredded cabbage for texture. The special treat today is the menchi wagyu katsu burger. It is big! The plumb, juicy burger has a cheesy middle and breaded, fried and served with a tangy, slightly spicy sauce and cabbage on a soft fluffy bun. This is worth planning a trip to the Kakaako Farmers Market. read more

Woke up early on Saturday for the farmer's market, more specifically for Katsu Sando! Waking up early on the weekends are unheard of for me, but I knew I had to try some sandwiches. Plus I miss Japan, but when I do ever NOT miss Japan. lol It was worth the early wake up time. Having this for breakfast was a little crazy haha. But so much flavor! My boyfriend ordered the wagyu menchi burger and I got the tonkatsu sandwich. We did a pre-order form and told them what time we would get there by. The process was really smooth and easy. I wasn't trying to stand in the hot sun for a long period of time! Once we got home we dived in and it was splendid. I need to get the egg sando next time since it would pair perfectly with both sandwiches. It seems they sell out before the farmer's market closes at noon so I would pre order or try get there as early as possible. When I went they were located at the far end of the market so I'm not sure if it changes or if it's the same each Saturday! They also take card which is amazing. You can always DM them on IG! They responded so fast read more

Katsu Sando 808 - wagyu menchi burger and tonkatsu burger - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Katsu Sando 808 is a food stall that shows up regularly at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market (weekly on Saturday). Their specialty is in sandwiches, but not just any sandwiches.... sandos! If you're unfamiliar with sando, it's just a Japanese style comfort sandwich that's often served in convenience stores. The fillings for the sando are packaged between the iconic thick, fluffy white bread (which makes it so fun to bite into). The best part is, is that they cut off the crust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very advanced, big moves. On their menu, the fillings to choose from are chicken katsu with a spicy mayo, pork katsu with tonkatsu sauce, and egg. The quality of food is great here. The bread is fluffy but still has give, the meats are never dry, but always juicy and full of umami, and the sauces with the coleslaw really round out the whole dish. Please do yourself a favor and eat one of these sandwiches. You'll probably never want to eat a normal sandwich again. Everything will pale in comparison. But that's okay because katsu sando 808 is there every Saturday, allowing you to get your weekly refill. Another option is to buy 7 sandwiches so you have one for each day of the following week. Similarly, you can buy 21, and have sandos for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. The possibilities are endless. read more

Amazing food!!! We used Katsu Sando 808 for our daughter's graduation party. They served their tonkatsu, chicken katsu, and portobello mushroom sandos with fries. Everyone loved it and are still raving about it. Would HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

They show up to the Kakaako farmers market every Saturday and there is always a line! Ordering:: A lot of their sandwiches sell out fast, so I HIGHLY recommend preordering from their site. You can do this through their link on their Instagram page. I pre-ordered the tonkatsu sando for my wife and the chicken katsu sando for me. Pickup:: When preordering you can put a pickup time, but that is not when your food will be ready. I realized you still have to wait in line and your order is still given to the cooks in order of when you get there. The benefit of preordering is that they make sure they hold the ingredients to make the sando you ordered. When I was waiting for my food at 11am, I heard the cashier tell many customers they were sold out of all sandos except tonkatsu. Taste:: The food doesn't look like a big portion, but when I ate it one sando though.... I was pretty full! They were both very moist and the sauce was on point. I overheard from another customer that they wanted the crust left on, and I might do that the next time I order because I like the crusts on bread. Overall:: I ate it about 30 minutes after receiving it and it was still delicious! Definitely going back to try the other menu items. read more

@katsusando808 was a #smallbusiness #localbusiness that I was hearing a lot of good things from! The owners are local and used to own and run a #katsu restaurant in Las Vegas. Once they moved back, they noticed there weren't any places specializing in #katsusando so they decided to open one themselves. * We ordered 2 of their pork Katsu sandos. It came on fluffy Japanese white bread, sweet and savory tonkatsu sauce, some thin sliced cabbage, and thick cuts of lightly breaded juicy pork. We ate it fresh so it was still hot from the fryer . The sandos were devoured in less than 5 minutes because of how onolicious they were! I could have eaten 2 more if we weren't trying to get other food from the market . * Definitely will be back to have their sandos again! Go check them out tomorrow (Saturday) from 8-12 at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market! You won't be disappointed! read more

5/5 for their Menchikatsu Burger + customer service!! Located at the Saturday Farmers Market in Ward, I've been wanting to try this place for months! But keep in mind, the farmer market closes early at noon AND I highly suggest you pre order off their website or IG to guarantee you can enjoy their delicious sandwiches!! My boyfriend and I had the Menchikatsu Burger and this was our first time having something like this. I must say, the added katsu breading made the whole experience something completely different than your average burger. That, plus the cheesey surprise in the middle is a game changer along with a mustard spread... (honestly the most unlikely condiment I would've thought of but it works)! The only thing I can think of is to add more cabbage to the sandwiches, only because when having katsus in Japan the cabbage is a huge game player- almost as important as the katsu itself. That and maybe toasting the bun itself, it got quite soggy from the mustard and oils after about 10 minutes in. read more

Went out last Saturday to find this food truck after reading all the scrumptious reviews around 9:30ish (a.m.). Followed the Yelp App's directions. After finally finding a parking space we walked around aimlessly looking for this truck in a plethora of trucks and stands selling interesting goods. We were hungry so we made the rounds twice in case we overlooked it but to no avail. My hubby was getting grumpy already - not his ideal way to spend his day off - walking in the hot sun hungry. I called the number listed on Yelp but only got a recording. We got back in our car and tried the app again. This time it led us to a construction site. Then we drove to where the old farmers market was - more construction. Then we drove around down town and finally settled on Merrimans which turned out quite nice once we found parking. But that's another review.... read more

It's hard to find a good tonkasu sandwich outside of Japan. Thank goodness for Katsusando808! I'm a huge burger fan and thought the Waygu Menchi Burger was awesome! It's seemed a bit pricey however the size and flavor made it totally worth it. If you are able, pre-order to ensure you get your hands on one of their delicious sandwiches.. They also accept credit card! read more

Best sando food truck in Honolulu! Short menu, but the best tasting Chicken katsu sando - crispy crunchy panko coated chicken, tonkasu sauce on a soft white bread, nom nom. Menu also has pork tonkatsu sando, an egg salad sando, potato salad. read more

The legit juiciest piece of fried chicken I've ever had. I highly recommend the chicken katsu sando. Awesome texture, moist chicken, and great freshness with the cabbage and tangy sauce. A little pricey for $9 for a small sandwich but it's high quality and you won't find one better on Oahu. I'm a fan. read more

Visited their food truck at the Ward Farmers Market. Got the chicken katsu sando and the tamago sando. Tamago one is basically egg salad. The chicken katsu had a mayo type spread in it. Both were super yummy on Japanese thick white bread. Would def recommend and come back for more! read more

So much love for the Katsu here! Definitely one of the best. I personally have not been able to go to a pop-up yet, but my father's working place orders big takeout orders from here and he'll usually save me some to eat. Really delicious. I'm a big fan of Katsu so maybe I'm a bit biased, but I mean who DOESN'T like katsu? It's super good, and they definitely make some of the best. The sandwiches are also very filling. I hope I'll be able to stop by one of their pop-ups one day - or rather I hope they can possibly do a truck thing and travel around near the Kaimuki area? Please? read more

Swung by the Kakaako Farmers Market to try this out. Thankfully the line was short and they're quick to make the sandwich. The tonkatsu was moist with a nice crisp crust. The bread was fresh and had a great texture. The sauce was pretty light and I think that's what made it drop a star. I'll have to remember to ask for extra next time. I'd highly suggest this sando if you're craving katsu! read more

I would definitely get one of these if you are at the farmers market. The price is worth what you get. This was one of the best tonkatsu I've ever had. It wasn't too fatty and wish I knew a place out here that served sandwiches like this. read more

This is my favorite place to grab lunch on Hickam AFB. Everything I've tried has been spot on, but my favorite is the Chicken Katsu Sando (pictured). The bread is fluffy and perfect delivery vessel for the chicken cutlet. When you bite into it it's juicy and has just the right amount of batter to it. Has some lettuce to add crunch and a spicy aioli type sauce on it. The pork cutlet and egg sandwich I've had previously were also really good! If you can't get on base check their website, I've seen them at the Kaka'ako farmers market on Sat mornings before. read more

For a place that's received a lot of reviews complaining about under quoting the wait, you'd think they'd change that. We ordered two sandwiches and fries. Time quoted was 10 minutes; it took 30. Sandwich was good. Fries were not good. Would I go back? Nah. Not worth standing in the hot sun waiting for 30 minutes. read more

10$ pork katsu sando was okay-- the crunch on the outside was nice. However, the pork itself was kinda tough. And the wait was around 15 min. I'd pass, if only because of incredible options at nearby stalls at the farmers market-- if it were anywhere else, it'd be a decent choice read more

Food's pretty good, but way overpriced. Not quite as good as Marukame's at twice the cost. Their hours state they close at 2PM but at 1:45 they were driving off. All in all pretty decent for on Hickam but I'm not going out of my way to support them again. Really wanted some katsu...what a let down. read more

I must say the Wagyu katsu Sando is the TRUTH, the crispness of the crust around the burger gives it a delightful sensation when biting into the burger. The burger itself was incredibly juicy and moist all the way through, it was so good . The bun was the cradle to its awesomeness keeping the burger from falling apart and soaking up all the flavors from the juicy burger. It was totally worth the price. Secondly I tried the curry fries and wow, just wow these fries are the best, they compliment and go hand in hand with the Wagyu Sando burger. The only regret I had was not buying 2 read more

My husband and I love this this place! We've had it two weekends at Kakaako's farmer market. His favorite is the tonkatsu but I really love the chicken katsu sando. The sauce that comes with the chicken katsu sando is kind of like a spicy mayo. Today, I ordered the sauce on the side and the lady who works the register was so sweet to give me a side order of it. Customer service and food is always amazing :) read more

These were ok. I wanted to try this because everyone was raving about this. I think these are overhyped and not worth $11. The Katsu was tough and not juicy for me. Would not go here again. read more

Disappointed, I found this place at Kaiser ptsa farmers market and the reviews had looked pretty good. But, yet again reviews gave me the wrong impression. I had gotten the chicken katsu sandwich and the meat was very very dry as well as a good amount of fat sadly. The bread was also very mediocre as it was just normal white bread. read more
