There’s all sorts of cool places to eat in Manoa. Island ended up being our place of choice so we parked our car and headed in for some sandwiches.

The inside was decorated with black and white photos. Maybe the owner is also a photographer?

We ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, $9.95 for a full foot long and $5.95 for half. They came with mustard, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I requested no mayo. As you can see one foot long is plenty for two.

I was surprised to see how generous they were with the chicken. We go two chicken breast fillets on each 6 inch sandwich. It was actually too much meat for me so I took one fillet off and saved it for my dog. Luckily there was a good amount of meat to balance the thick bread and the bread was really soft.

We also ordered a small order of onion rings. Yes this is a small order and it only cost me $2.25. A large order cost $3.50. These were good, but I’ve had way better. The batter was sweet and the onion rings inside were thin. It seemed like I was biting into a hallow battered shell.

I think overall this place I would come here again. The sandwich was a really good deal and so filling. I couldn’t even finish my 6 inch. During my visit the owner came up to me and asked me the reason for all the photo taking. Of course I lied and said I just got a new camera and I was just playing with it.
