    Turkey Avocado Sandwich
    Taylor C.

    Amazing, refreshing sandwich.The veggies were great. The bread was great. Everything was great! Good stop.

    Tuna Salad Sandwich and Italian Sandwich
    Elizabeth K.

    Māla Market in Hawaii Kai has the MOST fresh sandwiches filled with love and the most incredible views! My husband and I came here after church and became obsessed! You come in and are greeted by a few workers working almost like an assembly line! You order and they make sandwiches with the most fresh ingredients, Dave's killer bread (21 grain), and it's so quick! I recommend the Italian Sandwich! My husband said his Tuna Salad Sandwich was delicious! If you sit outside, you're greeted by paradise... LITERALLY! It's stunning. I highly recommended this place. You will leave 10x happier

    Chicken Salad Sandwich

    Mala Market is a solid choice if you're looking for a quick, fresh sandwich on a hot day. The service is fast and there's no need to order ahead, which makes it convenient for a casual lunch stop. Prices are a little on the higher side, especially considering the sandwiches are very straightforward and something you could easily make at home, but they do load them up with a lot of vegetables so every bite tastes fresh and satisfying. Nothing on the menu is particularly unique--it's mostly classic cold sandwich staples on sliced wheat bread--but they're well made and hit the spot. There's no indoor seating, but plenty of tables outside, and the real bonus is that the shopping center has additional seating just a few steps away right by the water, with umbrellas for shade. It's a great setup if you want to grab your sandwich and enjoy it in a more scenic spot. Parking is simple with the shopping center lot, which is another plus. Overall Mala Market isn't a place for a one-of-a-kind meal, but it delivers exactly what you'd want in a fresh, quick sandwich and pairs it with an easy, relaxing place to sit and eat.

    Was in the area before the beach, and decided to stop by to try and get a cold sandwich. The ordering area is super cute too and I love how easy their menu is. I got the turkey avocado sandwich with a side salad. The service was extremely fast! By the time I was done ordering, it was already out and ready for me. Also this sandwich was delicious! It came with a ton of different refreshing vegetables and a lot of turkey which I enjoyed. This was perfect for the beach. I would definitely come back again when in the area and needing a sandwich!

    @fortunefoodfinds: "Back a-GRAIN! A Chicken Salad sandwich made with Dave's 21 whole grains n' seeds killer bread + served with a side salad n' cilantro dressing from MĀLA MARKET in Hawaii Kai. Packed with veggies, makes for healthy n' happy bellies!" Staff: fully staffed Interior: some bar seating Exterior: good amount of table seating available Wait time: 5 mins Parking: lot Overall comments: Prices went up since my last visit, which was a while ago. Although I can still say that their sandwiches are loaded n' delicious along with that cilantro dressing for the salad. When your food looks healthy good, it's makes you feel good eating it!

    First time here. Ordered chicken salad sandwich salad. It's prob one of chic best sandwiches I've had. It's not filled with too much mayo and loaded with sprouts but it wouldn't hurt to have more. If it was more affordable (spent over $16) I would come here more often. It comes with side salad or chips. Service was fast and there are seats outside of the Marina for a nice view.

    Turkey Avocado Sandwich
    Jessica R.

    Okay this place makes the best sandwiches. I got their turkey avocado sandwich and WOW! They pack their sandwiches!!! They put turkey, avocado, purple lettuce, sprouts, mayo, tomato and carrots. So healthy for you! The combo comes with either salad or chips. I got the salad and their dressing was super good too! Tasted like an avocado/vinaigrette. Super good! The service was alright. Not too friendly. It didnt feel welcoming. Super nice place. They have seats to eat inside or outside but I recommend outside because they have the view of the ocean pier. super cute view!

    I LOVE a good veggie packed sandwich! As a firm believer that sandwiches should basically be salads between two slices of bread, Māla Market is my ride or die. The turkey avocado is an absolutely perfect choice, creamy and crunchy, especially after a day of hiking or swimming. You also get the choice between salad (with a side of dressing) or kettle chips. There isn't much seating inside the store but you can sit outside or along the marina (which I prefer). Workers are nice and accommodating :)

    Pastrami with salad.
    Lisa T.

    Lots of fresh veggies. But very little avocado for the $2 addon for Italian special sandwich of the day. Also ordered pastrami and roast beef. All with salad. Choice of chips or salad. Other menu items includes: Wraps, Salads, Soup, iced tea, Lemonade Located near Panda, near waterfront. Same shopping center as Costco Hawaii Kai. Tables and chairs are available. Water dispenser, paper cups Located inside. Rewards program, enter phone number at register. Help yourself to water, utensils, paper towels, paper bags. Helpful staff. Prices are on high side. Good quality. Pics show not much avocado for addon avocado Italian sandwich. $2 First time trying.

    One of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time! I ordered the turkey avocado sandwich, and it was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The ingredients tasted high-quality, and the combination was so refreshing, perfect for a light yet satisfying lunch. I enjoyed my meal by the marina, which made the experience even more relaxing and enjoyable. The customer service was also great, friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend checking out Mala Market if you're in the area!

    Service was speedy at this busy sandwich spot next to Costco. It dramatically exceeded my expectations. All ingredients were fresh and the outdoor seating near the water was extremely pleasant ambiance. The price isn't crazy as it's under $20 with tip for a sizable sandwich and side salad. I'd come back again. What a hidden gem!

    Turkey Avocado Sandwich (top)  Chicken Salad Sandwich (bottom)  * I swapped halfsies with someone else to try both! *
    Kylie S.

    Great sandwiches! We had these delivered but tried the turkey avocado and chicken salad sandwiches which came recommended. Both were loaded with veggies with fresh ingredients. I preferred the chicken salad over the turkey avocado just because it had a bit more moisture from the chicken salad. However, both came with sprouts which I love! The dressing that accompanied the side salad was nice--something with cilantro that was creamy but not too overpowering. Definitely felt like a healthy meal choice that I still very much enjoyed eating. I'd like to try one of the wraps next time and maybe one of their drinks!

The meats, cheese, and vegetables were all fresh, tasty, and clearly high quality. The sandwich itself was satisfying, but it was missing one thing: flavor from seasoning. Everything tasted fresh, yet somewhat bland because there was little to no seasoning to bring the ingredients together. My biggest disappointment was the bread. Growing up with Capriotti's back in Delaware, the rolls were a huge part of what made the sandwiches special. The rolls at this location just aren't the same. They're soft and remind me more of the standard hoagie rolls you can pick up at a supermarket rather than the distinctive rolls I remember from back home. Overall, the ingredients are fresh and the service was good, but the lack of seasoning and the difference in the bread keep this from being the Capriotti's experience I was hoping for. Not a bad sandwich by any means, just not quite what I remember from Delaware. This version comes across as fair and balanced while clearly explaining why you landed at 3 out of 5 stars.

We dined on a Friday night, so many of the other restaurants were busy and loud. This was exactly what we were looking for after a busy work week. The food quality is very good. Our food was tasty, timely, and hot. Our server correctly recommended the vodka sauce chicken pasta and the grandma pizza, which were both amazing. Although the pizza was a bit pricey, $31, it can easily feed a family due to its large size. For the pasta, the noodles were cooked to a perfect Al dente and the sauce was out of this world. The grandma pizza, similar to Boston's spinach and garlic pizza, was AMAZING! Easily tops Boston's version because of the Alfredo sauce that they use as the base. The service was impeccable, efficient, and friendly. The staff were very polite and attentive throughout our visit. If you're looking for a better alternative for exceptional Italian cuisine in Hawaii Kai, Repetti's is your place. Removed from the hustle and bustle, and always welcoming and good.
