    Omg these sandwiches!!! Wowsers. Fresh and delicious!! Hidden little spot. Worth looking for.

    Mango Pineapple Smoothie And The Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich
    Steve A.

    Got lunch at this hotel juice bar and deli. It certainly is more affordable than Duke's and other places in the Outrigger. Pai's is located over by the pool. Basically it's just a window to order at. There's a lot of interesting smoothies and sandwiches. Came in to look for it and couldn't find it at first. It's located before getting to the pool. There's not really any dining area around it as it's just a window. Actually affordable. It's about $6 for a smoothie. Also these are made with pure fruit. I got the Mango Pineapple. As for the food there's plenty that's affordable. It's about $5 for the Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich. Basic, but there's a choice of creamy or crunchy. This proves there's no need for good food to be expensive. Hard to find at first but worth it because it's cheap. It's located in the Outrigger on Kalakaua. There's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

    Turkey/avocado - just delicious!
    Tommy P.

    The food is great - if you want something quick and healthful at a reasonable price, this is a good place to know. The mom-and-pop running it are oddly not smooth at customer service: we experienced a slight issue and watched someone else having a big one. Also, we had a (small) mystery charge added to our bill when we put it on our room. There really isn't anywhere good to eat your meal - you take it and go somewhere else - or to wait while they make it (not terribly long, but not fast, either) - you just sort of stand around in the stream of people going to and from the pool. Anyhow, this is like a sandwich you'd have gotten in Berkley in the Seventies, made fresh for you when you order. A good place to know about.

    Turkey on wheat, all veggies, add pepper jack cheese

    Best sandwich I've had in a loooong time. Just make sure you're willing to wait for it. I think it took about 30 minutes? As long as you plan for it (plenty to walk around and see nearby) or order before you're starving, you'll be very happy. This place is a gem that I hope will be able to reopen in a bigger location with additional help & support.

    Egg and chicken salad sandwich
    Catherine P.

    I found this restaurant well attending a conference in Waikiki. I was on the hunt for something healthy in Waikiki that didn't break the bank and this spot was perfect. Conveniently located in the outrigger Waikiki, this spot works out of a small space where you can grab and go because why wouldn't you wanna enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki Beach? I ordered the egg salad and chicken salad sandwich. I thought I might get half-and-half, but it actually came together on the bread. I really liked the taste of the chicken salad egg salad with all the vegetables. And the entire sandwich is only $13 which is a great price considering Waikiki prices. The service was great and they were really respectful and nice. I would definitely go back to this place and try some more of their sandwiches. They're locally made and fresh, so definitely hit them up if you're in the area.

    Got the turkey and avocado with two kinds of cheese and the Happy Green smoothie. The wait to order was very short; the wait for the food was long. It's a popular place. Only one person making the food while the other took orders and payment. Highly recommend this gem.

    If you're not eating here, you're seriously missing out! I don't know about you but when I've spent hours in the sun and swimming in the ocean - I'm craving something fresh and delicious. Everyone we come to Hawaii this is our lunch spot. It's located in the Outrigger on the way to the pool. I highly recommend getting yourself a smoothie! They are the best smoothies I've ever had. My go to favorite is the banana, peanut butter protein. I just discovered a new favorite as well- it's a. Green smoothie with vegetables and fruit. So so so good! The prices here are very affordable and the portions are large! We've always split and it's still too much to finish.

    Fresh, Delicious, and Always Made with Aloha! Pai's Deli is hands down one of our favorite spots in Waikiki -- we visit every single day whenever we're staying at the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort! The food is always fresh, high-quality, and absolutely delicious. You honestly can't go wrong with anything you order -- everything on the menu is amazing! What truly makes Pai's Deli so special, though, is the incredible team. Ivy, Shelly, Andrew, Novia, Sandra, and Kiki are some of the most kind, hardworking, and passionate people you'll ever meet. They put their hearts into everything they do, and it shows in both the food and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're grabbing a sandwich, smoothie, or salad, you can always count on Pai's Deli for something healthy, flavorful, and made with love. It's a must-visit for anyone staying nearby -- and once you've been, you'll definitely find yourself coming back again and again!

    Egg salad sandwich
    Jeannie L.

    Make it 26 years! My husband LOVES the turkey sandwich. My daughter LOVES the tuna sandwich. We love the Hawaiian papaya and the smoothies! Ivy is the best and remembers me every time I visit.

    Turkey avo
    Zoe B.

    Turkey avo was my choice and it hot the spot! Decent size and quick to get my order although the lines can get longer depending on the time. Total cost was $14 and I could have split but was on the hungry side. Pineapple on the side was delicious!

    Turkey Sandwhich with provolone
    Sierra D.

    It was a 30 minute wait for the food but it tasted fresh! I liked the topping options. I got a turkey sandwich with provolone. There was only one table nearby so it's a grab-and-go situation.

    Egg ham sandwich

    We are weekly regulars at Sprout Sandwich Shop and it's usually good to very good. My issue at…read moretimes is that the fillings can be skimpy and not evenly distributed. I think that you should be able to taste a bit of everything in the sandwich with every bite. There have been times that the pickled red onion was on the skimpy side - like 80% of the time. To me a great sandwich is when everything is evenly spread on the bread (house mayo, hummus, garlic aioli, etc.) and evenly laid out (turkey, chicken, meats, etc.) and not just piled high in the center with the edges bare. Today my Duke sandwich was fantastic! Whoever made it literally had everything evenly spread and laid out on my multigrain bread. The lettuce was over the edges, but who cares. The carved turkey was moist and the bacon had the right amount of crunch. I actually had pickled red onions in every bite and not just a few pieces pulled apart by the layers and spread out on top of the meat. I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich that just disappeared too fast. It's so easy to continually support our neighborhood businesses when they serve great food.

And you're going to need that for your day jaunting across Waikiki in your new seal-print bathing suit. So ditch that Moko Loko and grab yourself a beautiful sandwich from Sprout, you'll feel a lot better about your trip to Hawaii. I love that Sprout has vegetable-forward options even in their meat-based sandwiches. The pesto chicken salad was loaded with beautiful green goodies which made this treat as aesthetically pleasing as it was delectable. They're also slapping down some of the best local Hawaiian ingredients into these here sanguines. The pesto itself was mac-nut based, which was intriguing. I'll be honest, I couldn't taste the difference between that and a pine nut pesto, but it was friggin delish pesto either way. The only downside I can think of is that the bread here lands somewhere between "ok" and "good". I've never had a bread quite like it, but it reminds me of a mix between an artisanal white bread, and a painini bread that you would find in Italy. It got the job done, but I feel like it could be upgraded. Sprout is worth a visit before or after your beach trip. The surrounding neighborhood is also a lively area with tons of fun restaurants and shopping.

    I can see why Storto's Deli & Sandwich has such a loyal following…read more I ordered the Aliʻi and I believe the only bread they have is on sweet bread. I ordered without bell peppers, but with everything else on it. The sweet bread was so good, and I really liked the combination of crunchy sprouts and their papaya dressing. The dressing gives the sandwich a sweet, tropical flavor that works surprisingly well. It's definitely on the sweeter side, but it's also really delicious. One thing though, this is a sandwich you should eat right away. The papaya dressing will soak into the bread pretty quickly, so it's at its best when it's fresh. I ordered a half, and honestly, at a lot of places it would already count as a large sandwich. Great value for the price. I also enjoyed watching the team work behind the counter. There were three ladies running the shop. One taking orders, one making sandwiches, and one working the register. But whenever it got busy, they all jumped into the assembly line without missing a beat. It was fun to watch, and they were turning out some seriously tasty sandwiches at an impressive pace.
