What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ohana Sub Wahiawa is lauded for its incredibly generous sandwich portions and fresh ingredients, with many highlighting the unique flavors of their signature papaya seed dressing. The exceptional customer service, characterized by a friendly and accommodating 'Aloha spirit,' further enhances the dining experience. However, some recent reviews express disappointment with decreased portion sizes and inconsistent pricing, along with concerns about ingredient quality.
"I am about 5 months pregnant and some of you might know that you're not supposed to eat any cold deli meats while pregnant. However you're allowed hot deli meats. I haven't had any deli meats or really a good sandwich for months. My pregnancy cravings finally won out and I came here to see if I could find a work around. The staff was so friendly and welcoming I had no issues asking to have my deli meats cooked to make my sandwich safe! Not to mention they handed me a sandwich the size of a baby! I literally skipped to my car I was so happy! Then to top it off, it was everything I wanted and more, extremely delicious! I will definitely be back!"

"Best little sandwich shop on Oahu. I’ve eaten here a lot of times over the years and have never been disappointed. Their sandwiches are consistent, service is always great. Great ownership. V/r, Santiago"

"Heavy onion smell right when you walk in and we had a sensitive person that had to flee before we finished our meal. Decent prices on half and full subs (16 inches) for a little over $20. Our group all got full subs and ate half and saved the rest for later. They have a lot of sub choices and go with the recommended sauce!! Cross your fingers that yours comes with the papaya dressing."
