    As mentioned by other reviewers, if you're looking for an inexpensive, decent sandwich on Waikiki…read morebeach, look no further. Conveniently located near Duke's, there's one outdoor table nearby, but really, just pick up a sandwich and take it to the beach! Staff was very friendly. Plenty of options for sandwiches and salads (and maybe more options, just what I noticed). I got the tuna sandwich and added a slice of pepper jack. I said no mayo or mustard, though I'd probably recommend mayo. There are so many veggies that it needs a little sauce. The veggies make you feel like you're eating something super healthy! There wasn't a ton of tuna in the sandwich, but half was filling enough for me. I'll save the rest for tomorrow.

    I'm going to start by saying you won't find a sandwich shop in Waikiki like Pai's Deli. Their…read moresandwiches are packed with fresh ingredients and tons of flavor. Skipping this place would be a crime. And prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's a hidden gem, tucked inside the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort just to the right of Duke's. I've been here many times and have ordered both smoothies and sandwiches. Let me tell you, the bread is incredibly soft, the greens are crisp and fresh, and the protein is ALWAYS tasty. The team works hard to craft your sandwich every time, and I always get a warm "thank you" when I pick mine up (I swear I got into a thank-you battle once, and of course, they won). I highly recommend the tuna sandwich. It's seasoned perfectly and generously filled with tuna. The greens are always piled high. Shredded carrots, spinach leaves, and more sprouts than you'd think possible. It's healthy and DELICIOUS. I usually add avocado, and the sandwich with avocado comes out to $13.75, which is a great deal for Waikiki. Oh! and you get a little skewer of two pineapple slices! It's cute, refreshing, and perfectly ripe every time. The last smoothie I ordered was the Avocado Green Island. It's made with mango, avocado, spinach, banana, greek yogurt, and coconut milk. It's creamy, slightly tangy, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. I've also tried their chicken salad sandwich (money!) and my favorite, the Captain Salad. I recommend getting it with Caesar dressing. The brand of ranch they use isn't really my thing. They also have a homemade balsamic vinagarette that sounds amazing. The salad is huge, topped with turkey and generous crumbles of bacon. I'm telling you, they're serving hit after hit after hit at this spot. Go and enjoy ASAP!

    Sorry, but gotta keep it real-- this place was a foul ball. Mrs. Picante and I wanted our cake and…read moreeat it too: we wanted pho, but didn't want to walk too far from the hotel. This place was just two blocks away, so we braved the November misty rain and consistent wind through the buildings to make it over here. To be fair, this seemed more like a Vietnamese coffee joint and a Banh Mi place... so maybe coming here for pho wasn't our best idea. They had two kinds available that night-- beef and chicken. Since chicken pho is not something I'm willing to try, we both ordered up the dac biet. The broth was bland with a thin and unpleasant veil of grease along the top that congealed quickly on the rim of the bowl. It wasn't hot enough, or maybe the pre-cooked and chilled noodle block they poured it over cooled it off. Meat was chewy and low quality. The sprouts and basil were soggy and wilted. Honestly, it was a get up and leave kind of thing. The whole place was just dingy and didn't feel great. I've eaten at some very modest places in my native San Gabriel Valley in Southern California, so it's not a snobbery thing. It's a "someone get a Swiffer wet jet and some paper towels and give this whole place a once-over. Speaking of once, that's the sum total of times we'll ever eat here. Too bad... because it was really close to our hotel :)

The pork in it was mostly mushy in texture and off putting. Nothing was really fresh tasting and The price definitely didn't line up. Place was ambiance free- felt like I was eating in someone's messy kitchen! I tossed my sandwich but my daughter ate her half and her stomach paid the price later! Easily my least favorite food experience while vacationing in Hawaii!

    My partner and I came here twice for breakfast on our trip. Both days we were able to get seated as…read moresoon as we arrived. The servers and hosts were very friendly and welcoming. For our first meal, we ordered the Braised Beef Loco Moco, the Lox of Bagel, the Cacao Moana Acai Bowl, the Island Latte, and the Acai Smoothie. The braised beef loco moco was delllllish. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The lox of bagel tasted very fresh. I ordered the purple potatoes on the side and wow...they were so sweet and crispy. The island latte was yummy! A little too sweet for my usual coffee order but I was on vacation. Hehe. The cacao moana acai bowl was by far my favorite thing I ordered. Just the presentation alone was awesome. The flower was such a pretty detail. But the flavor, of course, was what brought me back the next day to get it again. Our second meal here we got the Bacon Breakfast Bagel, the Kalua Pork Benedict, the Hawaiian Honey Latte, and the Cacao Moana Acai Bowl (AGAIN). I recommend the Hawaiian Honey Latte over the Island Latte. The Kalua pork benedict was SO GOOD. The pork was very moist and the portion was huge. I will absolutely come back here when I return to Oahu one day :)

After ordering, we were fortunately able to grab a table indoors to enjoy our afternoon sweet treats. LILIKO'I MOANA BOWL - 15.25 I really like liliko'i, so I immediately gravitated toward this acai bowl. It was on the smaller side at 16 oz, but topped generously with strawberry, papaya, banana, liliko'i honey, and organic granola. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I did enjoy the variety of fruit toppings! My friend got the mango smoothie, which she thought was fine. Overall, Island Vintage Coffee isn't a bad spot for acai, but I can't say it was my favorite in Waikiki.

    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.

    Sprout has the ideal "beach sandwich". Something that is light but filling. Satiates the appetite,…read morebut keeps that six pack tight. 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.

Which would've been unfortunate since I live nearby. However, folks at work wanted to try the sandwiches, so we ordered again. I don't remember what I got, but I wasn't super impressed the 2nd time either. Fast forward to a few days ago. I was at Safeway and needed a meal fast. I went in, ordered the roast beef sandwich, but this time, I got the whole grain bread. That was a winner! I was skeptical when I opened my sandwich, but the bread was so soft and very yummy. I guess third times a charm! Service has always been good each time I've gone. The workers are friendly and attentive and I got my sandwiches quick! Sometimes before I was even done paying. I do hope they do well. I'll give them another chance but will definitely stick to the whole grain bread instead.

Service was quick, the staff was friendly, and the shop was clean. My only downside was the portion size. The sandwich was a bit small and didn't have much meat (as pictured), so I wouldn't recommend Da Vinny if you're looking for a heartier meal. Definitely go for one of the bigger sandwiches, but it is a little pricier. Overall, a tasty sandwich with great service--I'd come back, but probably as a lighter lunch.
