Convenient little deli spot by Dukes in the outrigger.
Awesome price for what u get! I think my sandwich was $ 7 something. The quality was pretty good and totally unexpected. They have tea for about $ 3 but it’s good and I think the smoothies are about $ 5 – 6.
I recommend grabbing a nice Sandwich or salad her me with a nice smoothie & hit up the beach. Great prices for the location. It’s kind of unheard of actually. I would totally go here a lot if I stayed in Waikiki.
Not a sit down. Just kind of like a grab and go but it can get packed and a long line depending on when u go.

I love Pai’s. I worked in the hotel for years and would always grab a sandwich before work. The ladies behind the counter are sweet as can be and always want to make their customers happy. My favorites were both the chicken salad or the Tuna sandwich. I added avo every time. I also love the smoothies. The watermelon smoothie is literally blended watermelon and is so fresh. Wish I still worked in Waikiki so I could have pais more often. Grab a sandwich and head to the beach! Perfect day.

This is probably the best place a ate around all Waikiki. It’s healthy and really fresh. Everybody is really nice too. I strongly recommended! You got to try their smoothies and their tuna!

Probably the best priced lunch you can get in waikiki, and delicious! Lots of fresh veggies and generous meat portions on the sandwiches. The smoothies are fantastic as well.

In the Ourigger Waikiki by laundry towards pool. Best deal in Waikiki. Sandwiches are delicious, fresh and include generous fixins! Zero reason to go subway. I love the honey lemon ice tea.

This is a great place to stop by, if you’re tired of eating at fancy-​shmancy restaurants and a little higher quality than ABC stores.
They do salads, sandwiches, smoothies, and shave ice.
If I forget to pack my lunch for work I’ll come by and grab a sandwich (if I’m in the mood), or getting that afternoon «OMG-I’m-Dying» feeling, I always run over for a smoothie. Their smoothies are DELISH, they use all fresh ingredients and so tasty on a hot hot day.
I’ve only had one sandwich from there, and it was STUFFED with goodness. I think I had the chicken salad sandwhich on wheat. It was pretty good, all sandwiches are served with: Lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots, sprouts, and mayo. It was huge, and filled me up. Way better than ABC stuff. ;)
Oh and my coworker recently introduced me to their «mocha frappucino» which is a blended coffee drink, addicting!
One thing, they only do CASH/​Room Charge and it can get backed up if you go at the wrong time.

This small deli is literally a few feet away from dukes Waikiki restaurant. When I arrived there was a line of beach goers waiting to place their order. On one section there was an array of chips, muffins, and cookies for purchase. There was also freshly made refreshments such as smoothies, lemonade, and juices.
I already knew what I wanted and placed an order of a chicken salad. Within a few minutes I was given my food and I went to a bench to eat. It was a typical salad of tomato, alfalfa, cucumber, shredded carrots, and lettuce. Nothing really special about it. Now for the chicken salad… It was not bad at all. I was glad it was not drowning in mayonnaise, and that it was meaty. Quantity wise it was more of half a scoop.
I did like the fact that they make the food fresh on order. I was not feeling a refrigerated salad today;) Maybe I’ll try their sandwiches next time.

Super yummy little spot. Great sandwiches and friendly staff. I’m obsessed with their honey lemon iced tea. A large is $ 3 and it’s so yummy. I could drink more than one but not trying to spend $ 6 on tea. Their milkshakes are good too. Get the tuna or the chicken salad with avocado. You won’t be disappointed.

Great little deli in Waikiki. Just inside the outrigger hotel by dukes. Fast friendly service for reasonably priced simple sandwiches & smoothies. Fresh fruits in all the smoothies, fresh veggies in the sandwiches. Turkey & Avo sandwich + mango papaya smoothie for $ 12.50. Pretty good for waikiki.

Really good. Got the egg, chicken, and tuna salads. Very tasty and the best value in Waikiki. Will be my new regular place to eat. Definitely worth checking out.

Great find. Good healthy food at a very reasonable price. Perfect place to grab lunch if you’re going to the beach. I had one of the best tuna sandwiches I’ve ever had.

Chock full of fresh veggies (lettuce, tomato, carrots, cucumbers, and sprouts), on your choice of whole wheat, white, or honey oat, and almost too thick to sink your teeth into, Pai’s sandwiches are made fresh. I ordered the tuna and avocado. It was good, but a little heavy on the mayo in the tuna salad. Good thing I told them to hold the mayo and only light mustard on my sandwich. Happy cashier was pleasant.
Want to return to try their fresh fruit smoothies!

Best chicken salad sandwich I’ve ever had!!! Price is average for a sandwich (I think 6.50 $). Hubby loved it as well, we split one for a small lunch. They don’t skimp out on the chicken salad either. Can’t wait to go back

What an amazing find in Waikiki!
Pai’s is a well-​kept secret, apparently. If I had known about them sooner I would be a regular by now (although it is a pain to venture into Waikiki just for a smoothie).
Anyway, they are discreetly hidden in the Outrigger Waikiki, the one with Duke’s. Go down the long hallway and take a right at the end. There’s a small pathway from the beachside as well.
Their smoothies are sooooo good! All fresh fruit, no creamy powders (note: no boba) They have tons of flavors to choose from, I had the watermelon-​strawberry and it hit the spot after a long day at the beach. Their honey-​lemon iced tea is ultra refreshing also. Prices were very reasonable! They also can do made-​to-​order sandwiches – simple, but fresh. And milkshakes!
Wish they had another location NOT smack-​dab in the middle of tourist central. But Pai’s is a must-​try when in Waikiki!

VALLEY VILLAGE, CA
delicious!!! so nice to have a spot to get a homemade sandwich in waikiki … reasonably priced and incredibly fresh … everyone gets tired of going to these expensive restaurants around here … check this place out! so many other healthy items on the menu too … inside outrigger waikiki on the beach across from duke’s, kinda hidden down the hallway … and don’t listen to the jerk who gave one star just because he couldn’t find it! yummy food and will definitely be back!

We tried the chicken and avocado, ham and cheese sandwich and croissant and they were all very bland. My wife also ordered a strawberry and banana smoothie, it was ok and my watermelon and pineapple smoothie was just not that great. 3 sandwiches a croissant and two smoothies came out to be roughly 30 bucks.
Over all the food was disappointing, the lady helping is was very friendly she just forgot to make one of our sandwiches so luckily I checked the bag before we left. Maybe they were just having a off day, we will probably not be coming back as we only have a few days left on our vacation.

Love Pai’s! Sometimes you just need a sandwich to go and don’t want to sit in a Waikiki restaurant for 2 hours. I usually get the Turkey-​Avo sandwich– has never let me down. The watermelon smoothie is THE TRUTH. Only downfall– cash only, but there is an ATM directly to the right. Staff is so nice.

I work right next door at the Royal Hawaiian Center & sometimes it can be hard figuring out where to eat. I wanted an avocado sandwich so I went on Unilocal,found this place & thought I’d check it out.
It’s as small as I expected, but I was not expecting a line (I think my timing was bad). Looking at the menu they had a bunch of avo sandwiches — I ended up getting the tuna avo on whole wheat with everything. Mmmmmm. The sandwich itself was a little over $ 7 but I got a lemon-​strawberry smoothie juice thing & a bag of chips as well so it came out to $ 13.25 Next time I’m skipping the smoothie and chips and just getting the sandwich. It was sooo good, they really stuff everything in there & you can tell everything is fresh.
I’m definitely going back for the chicken avocado.
