  • 5/5 future is history t. 6 months ago on Google
    We came to downtown Honolulu for a tour and found this small Deli via Google. A stop for u as "Must to have". We ordered in varieties: special inspired korean food"bug gobi sub", turkey club panini sunset bay, BAM, clam soups. Later on i can't even stop myself to try their deserts " Black Sesame" and " Mango Cream Cheesecake" . I can tell the owner prepares every single food by heart and with respect. Yummy, tasty,……, u can use ur own word to fill in。 u can not miss it

    Recently moved into the neighborhood and I’m exploring to see what kinds of food places are nearby. This small sandwich shop is tucked away and offers a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit, and smoothies. Items are reasonably priced, for Hawaii. I had the Cubano and it was pretty good. The triple berry smoothie is phenomenal, so good. If you’re downtown and wanting for a sandwich and/or salad that’s really fresh, look no further. I’m looking forward to trying other items in the near future!

    We got the reuben and california club sandwich and we now know why this place only has five star ratings! So glad we found this small cafe:) The sunset bay smoothie is probably the best smoothie I’ve ever had

    Decided to try something different for lunch, so I ordered the Reuben sandwich. A few minutes after ordering, my sandwich was ready and came in a "old school" brown paper bag. The bag felt a bit light, so I was a bit "concerned" that I might be hungry after eating the sandwich. When I finally sat down to eat and unwrapped the sandwich, my "concern" seemed even more legit as the sandwich was not very thick. Although the sandwich wasn't very thick, the proportion of meat, bread and sauerkraut seemed just right. Biting into the sandwich, you can taste the flavors of all the ingredients, with none being too over powering, not too salty, not too sour, but just right! After the last bite, I wasn't hungry, but I could easily eat another 1/2 sandwich, just because it was so good!

    Wow. This place is amazing. The Reuben is literally the best one I've had on island. Hands down. The thousand island dressing, the marbled rye, the thin slices of beef, the sour kraut is perfect. The balance and flavors are incredible. I also had the clam chowder. It is so ono. Plenty clams and the soup base is nice and light. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    DELICIOUS! Staff was so cute, personable, and nice. Food came lightening fast and was so, so good. Wish I could eat there everyday.

    Wonderful sandwiches and salads. I had their powerhouse sandwich and it was amazing. My wife had the strawberry chicken salad and she said it was the best salad ever. My daughter had the turkey club. Again good choice. The service was good as they were very attentive and made sure we had napkins and silverware.

    Cute sandwich shop, with some Korean soups, but mostly general paninis and wraps. I had a Roast Beef Panini - delicious.

    Wonderful little local sandwich and salad shop tucked in downtown. We had a great chicken salad that was super fresh and a chicken panini that was also great. Lots of local beverages to choose from. Highly recommend.

    One of the best sandwich shops in the Downtown business district. This walk-up deli is both friendly and quick, with enough variety that you'll want to make multiple visits. Most recently I had the #1 California Club, which has both a generous portion of turkey and can be toasted. There are also juice and smoothie options.

    First time writing a review. I ordered the reuben panini and it was so good, i wish i ordered 2. You can tell it was made with quality meats and cheese's and was made really fast. Plus the owner is super nice! Cant wait to try the other items on the menu.

    Nice staff with delicious sandwiches and smoothies. Hot italian was great and banana smoothie hit the spot after a day hike.

    My favorite sandwich shop!!! It was recommended by fellow worker and I checked it out. Love the fresh sandwiches and soup!!! The price is good and it was soooo yummy!! I will definitely going back again when I'm in downtown.

    This cute little family-run deli is AWESOME! The bulgogi sandwich is fantastic!! We have lived here 3 years, and this is by far the best place for sandwiches!!

  • 5/5 Andrew D. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place and crave it daily. I could eat Humu 3x a day and not get sick of it. The Humu crew is like a second family to me. I was hesitant to leave a review because I want to keep it a hidden gem. I even got a picky co-worker to try it after months of refusal and she admitted its great. 5 STARS!

    hidden in plain site this place crafts amazing sandwiches that are served up with care and delicious ingredients. I've been walking by this place and finally got one today 4/30/2021. The staff is friendly and works fast and my roast beef sandwich was nothing short of splendid. If your looking for a nice, small, fast and comfortable place for damn good sandwiches look no further than Humu Deli and juice on 201 merchant st.

    Always wanted to try this place. It's regular cafe food but man does it taste good. Very fresh, flavorful and tastes really clean. So far I've had their wraps and haven't been disappointed.

    Strawberry Chicken salad was beyond excellent ! The dark berries balsamic vinaigrette was amazingly good. My wife got a Panini and loved it. Best prices we have seen in Hawaii so far for what you get.

  • 5/5 Regem W. 2 years ago on Google
    Super good, everything tasted very fresh! Definitely a great value for the quantity of food and the quality knocks it out of the park. I had the Cubano, and my brother had the power house. Both were superb sandwiches! I definitely recommend anyone in the area to check them out!

  • 5/5 Nitha B. 2 years ago on Google
    Got breakfast this week at the Humu deli - fresh ingredients and great home made tasting omelette!

  • 5/5 Erin 3 years ago on Google
    Found this shop in a rush to get somewhere else. The owners were very welcoming and made my order very quickly. I had the Veggie Powerhouse sandwich and potato salad. Both very good. Quality fresh ingredients! I would recommend anyone to visit this deli. I will be going back!

    Stumbled across this place looking for some lunch downtown Honolulu one day. Great selection of food, delicious, nice location, friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Brandy D. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful quick order sandwich shop with bottled juices and teas. I used to live 1 block away and would go in pretty regularly for the veggie powerhouse. This sandwich is delicious! Sliced veggies and cheese, on toasted bread, with a honey mustard sauce that is sooo good! Occasionally, I would ask to add a fried egg for protein and the owner was happy to accommodate. Since I moved further away, I haven't been able to visit as frequently but consider it a special treat when I do. I'm so happy this place made it through the pandemic! Give them a visit, you won't be disappointed!!
