Mamaya Bishop Street Cafe — Restaurant in Honolulu

Don't get deterred by the less than 4 stars reviews on Yelp coz this place could be a solid lunch spot for office workers! It's grab and go but I could tell the food was made fresh in the morning. Lots of variety from salads, soba noodles, sushi, poke, to hot food like salmon bento, shumai, buns, katsu bento, etc. you will find something you like here!

The shop is small since it's a grab and go. During lunch time I saw a lot of people keep coming in, fortunately there wasn't a line when I went. The cashier was pretty efficient and still friendly, greeting people with aloha. The shop was also clean. No seating inside but there's plenty outside in the plaza.

Best of all, the prices were so reasonable! I got a sushi combo with tuna inari, Korean kimbap, California maki roll, for only $5.99 plus tax. I split it into 2 meals so essentially I only spent $3 a meal! It's hard to find nowadays anywhere, let alone in Hawaii.

I think this can be my regular lunch spot with the quality, price and the variety...

Cheap, tasty, and easy to grab bentos/donburi. The business has measures to keep customers and patrons safer via hand sanitizer and a cashier covid barrier. Proper distancing does limit customers to only a couple inside at a time, so please be considerate if others are...
