10 Best Delis in Honolulu

“I was visiting for a few days and someone recommended this place for a light and refreshing lunch. Took me a minute to find this hidden gem, but it was so worth it! I had the egg salad on a croissant fully loaded with all their toppings. I’ve been thinking about this sandwich since I left the place and now I’m back at home trying to recreate it lol. Thank goodness we are moving there soon!“

“Some of the most delicious pastries and best cuts of meat on the island. One of our go-to spots for getting fun breakfast and planning a scrumptious dinner. Harley and Jason are awesome and this place is an absolute gem!“

“Their bento is really good on the go and the food is fresh and great. Luv it!“

“I always visit North Star in School Street each time I go to Honolulu. This is practically an extension of our home kitchen for authentic Ilocano cuisines.

This unassuming place is our go-to for chicharon and dinak-dakan. The best, freshest, and closest to the ones from the Philippines. I have yet to try their longanisa and see if this can be added to our go-to lists. They have other dishes that you can buy as an ala carte or part of a plate lunch to go. This is a very tiny place, so there is no dine in option. They have a limited selection of Filipino products you can peruse.

Friendly staff as always.

Parking: Parking is shared with other businesses. It's a bit hard to find parking out front, so people tend to double park. If you can't street parking, just patiently wait. Someone will come out sooner or later. It will be worth the wait, though.“

“Came on a Wednesday and the vibes were phenomenal! Shout out to Kristen for her aloha and friendly service. She really made the whole experience so much better. Hands down this was one of the BEST experiences we had during our time on the island.
It's a five course tea time with a set menu. The food was so onolicious. Kristen was so knowledgeable explaining each item. For the ambience, food, and service, 10000/10 would come again especially if Kristen is working. Trust me, she will make it so fun!“

“Good food and good service 🤩🤩👍👌“

“I do not know what’s up with all the bad reviews. This place is a hidden gem. Let me first start by saying the kitchen is on point. Food comes out fresh and hot, wait staff is very friendly. Had no issues with the food, and honestly will eat here again. Marty our server was amazing and kind lady. She made sure everything was on point and up to our standards. Is it worth eating at yes is the prices fair yes.“
