I used to go here all the time and then I couldn't go for a while for some reason I cannot disclose I went there today and found out that their point rewards was discontinued and I could not use the points that I still have. It on the five stars app and after leaving there my points are still shows up on the five star app. If you're going to discontinue something then remove it from the app and don't leave it there so that people think they still have points to use. So unprofessional read more

I was standing in line. A guy waiting said "brah, the sandwiches so expensive now". I said I don't go here that often and I don't remember. He said they were $5 before. Now they are double the price. This place is well known for making bang for the buck pastrami sandwiches. Mostly every one in line is ordering sandwiches. You know the sandwich must be good because my mom loves them and she is picky. The sandwich is big enough that you can eat half for lunch and the other half for a late night snack. It is still delicious at twice the price. read more

Manono Mini Mart - Sandwiches Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Clean store with friendly staff. I never would have tried thinking it's just a mini Mart but they have a whole made to order sandwich menu and they are quick to turn them out (no the 7-11 pre wrapped kind). I had a great pastrami sandwich and rolled down to Wailoa park to have a delicious peaceful lunch. read more

Manono Mini Mart - 12/29/23 Menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

After going to the beach my son asked what I wanted for lunch. I told him that a sandwich would be good so he took me to Manono Mini Mart. The sandwiches here are great and made to order. My daughter in law had her favorite pastrami in a wrap that she always order. My son had his favorite chicken salad sandwich which is the only thing he orders. I had a tuna royal on white. They have 2 sizes, reg or large, we all ordered the large. Good thing we ordered large because we all scarfed our entire sandwiches. They come with sliced pickles on the side which goes with the sandwiches very well. My tuna was less than $10 and the other two were about $10. Definitely returning here again. read more

Great customer service by Lucy. I wish get soup of the day everytime to go with their tasty sandwiches.

We were on a tour and were taken here by the tour guide. He highly recommended this place. Deli menu is relatively small. We got a turkey sandwich on sourdough and a veggie wrap. The turkey was a simple, basic sandwich. $10.50. The veggie wrap was at least a little better. Workers were rude and impatient. Store itself was only average for cleanliness. As a mini mart, it's average. As a deli, it is below average. read more

The overpriced sandwiches are so ridiculous. They barely have any food inside besides a bunch of sprouts.

I was so glad we found this gem of a place! Flew over for a baseball tournament during the long holiday weekend and I ate here all 3 days! I enjoyed the pastrami sandwich so much I ordered it 2x. The roast beef was OK but I regret not trying the chicken salad sandwich which our friends ordered multiple times as well. Prices are super reasonable. Craving this place already! read more

Manono mini mart has the best sandwiches and variety of local made snacks. The service is fast and the staff is really nice. We usually get two different sandwiches and trade 1/2.

Fresh Amazing sandwiches and quick service. Always stop in when I'm returning to Honolulu before heading to airport

It's all about the extra pickles with the sandwiches, drinks, chips, and Donna's cookies.

This place and Itsu's. read more

I went to Manono Mini Mart today and got me A pastrami sandwich which I always did for years today today they ran out of lettuce they cut down on the amount of pastrami to put in your sandwich because my sandwich was very skinny today and I know how the sandwiches look I've been eating it for years horrible even the bread was broken I also got me a apple pie in the box over there it was old ‍I'm not going back over there for a long long time I'm going to hit up some Keaukaha general store and spend my money over there towards their good stuff sorry Manono Mini Mart but the quality your quantity all reduce down but the price went up maybe in the future I come back.Aloha read more

Review #5 for 2021. I always love the sandwiches from Manono Mini Mart, so that's what this review is based on. This small convenience store is conveniently located by lots of nearby things like the Civic auditorium, Kanakaole tennis stadium, Wailoa Park, Liliuokalani Gardens, and more. If you didn't know, you wouldn't guess that Manono Mini Mart has some of the best sandwiches in Hilo. I personally love the alfalfa sprouts in the sandwiches, which also come with lettuce, tomato, onions, Swiss cheese, mayo, and pickles on the side. Your choice of size and type of bread. My brother and I recently got a regular pastrami sandwich and a chicken salad wrap. Both were great, but I really liked the chicken salad wrap! Other food available like burgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, and the things that most convenience stores carry. Lots of parking available, but the place gets busy around lunch. read more

The 2 stars are because of their attitude. I ordered a large sandwich and soup. When I got back to my hotel room and looked in the bags, my soup was missing and they gave me someone's order. There was a hamburger, small ham and cheese sandwich and a small tuna sandwich (I don't eat tuna sandwiches). Before going to the airport I stopped to inform them of their mistake and pay for the food I didn't order because I knew I couldn't return it (sanitary reasons) and I felt bad (it's a small store). I should have just gone to the airport. They were so rude when I went to explain and pay (it cost me $13). One of the ladies by the sandwich counter said "I know!" and glared at me like it was my fault and I'd stolen the food. They didn't even give me the soup I paid for previously, I didn't argue because I was pissed at the lady's attitude. I believe the soup was $2+ and I even gave them a tip. I should have not bothered to go back. I live on Oahu and visit Hilo often and will usually stop at Manono Market, we'll not anymore. I'm scratching it off my list of places to get food. read more

Best bang for the buck! Sandwiches and chips and a drink at the park, hard to beat! Thanks for the rewards also!!

A sandwich walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, you're gonna have to get out. We don't serve food in here." Back in the days before sites like Yelp, you would walk into Manono Mini Mart and you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who wasn't a local. To be honest, it's still kind of like that. Most patrons aren't there to pick up little things here and there like other mini marts, though. Sure, you can grab a pack of beers, some snacks, and other random goods. But those are usually just ancillary purchases. Manono Mini Mart's main draw has always been their sandwiches. The pastrami sandwich, to be exact. What Manono Mini Mart does is nothing fancy by any means. It's a simple process. Choose what kind of bread you'd like (white, whole wheat, wrap) and decide what toppings you want (sprouts, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and pickles). For whatever reason, those simple ingredients add up to a sandwich that really just hits the spot. They don't skimp on anything and are absolutely the picture of consistency. You'll never get a bad sandwich and it's always the same. *chef's kiss* There's really not much more to say about all that pastrami goodness that MMM has been producing for decades. Whether you yourself are feelin' a hankering for a sandwich or need a whole platter of them for a party, you just roll up and they've got you covered. I should say, they make other kinds of sandwiches and lunch things, but you're playing yourself if you get anything besides the pastrami. read more

What a nice find! We were by the dock fishing and in dire need of snacks, searching for musubi and gravy fries in the area. Inadvertently, skipped the restaurant next door and stumbled upon Manono. Choose a sandwich platter for 27.95 which included 4 choices of deluxe sandwiches, piled high w/ chosen protein/meat and lettuce, tomato, onions, and sprouts; very fairly cheap eats compared to Subway. Spent under 40 bucks w/ 2 big bags of chips. Added some hot dogs for the kids and it was a meal and a half. Assisted friendly staff, as they were personable and approachable. Sandwich maker is one particularly organized and can tell takes pride in his work. All young staff, but very pleasant who actually enjoy working there. Glad to have found them and will come back next time we're at the dock fishing; will recommend them to others as well. read more

Manono Mini Mart - Pastrami sandwich $6.95 - Sandwiches Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

I always thought this was called Freddie's Manono Mini Mart?? I frequented the store often when I lived in Hilo, and like the other reviewers mentioned, their PASTRAMI SANDWICHES were and are awesome. Years ago it used to be only $5something per sandwich. I was still shocked it's still only $5something! What you get for $6 makes me give 5 stars. I think if anything there is less pastrami in the sandwich (then again i was tiny back then) but I still can't eat a whole sandwich by myself. They put tomato, lettuce, and a lot of alfalfa sprouts in it, which I actually love. The quality of the pastrami is great, thinly sliced, of course with some fat in there but most of it is actual meat. You also get sliced pickles, and your sandwich is cut in half, wrapped in wax paper. The only thing is I wish they toasted the bread to add some texture and make it a little easier to eat the sandwich. Here's a tip if you are catching a flight out of Hilo and want a bite to eat: call ahead, place a take-out order, and take it with you to the airport. It makes for a perfect meal while you wait for your flight to depart! I even got an extra plate to enjoy back in Honolulu, mmm. :) read more

Only had pastrami sandwich. But really good. I could spend easy $50 in there. Great sandwiches.

Friendly service always. The sandwich's is awesome. Call in an order and it was ready in no time.

Sandwiches are okay but on the expensive side for what you get today IMHO and I bought both their small and large sandwiches. I grew up eating their sandwiches and their prices were far more reasonable in the past. Their burgers are probably the second worse I have ever eaten in Hilo (Cosmic Cones' burgers are my worst). read more
