Musubi Cafe Iyasume

This is the spot to get Musubi, not Foodland. They also make dope Onigiri (rice ball). These are great snacks to grab and they're super affordable.We tried the Salmon w Mayonnaise ($2.68) and Spicy Code Roe ($2.68) Rice Balls. Besides being super affordable, these things are filling as it's mostly rice, but also tastes great. They have a ton of options, which may be overwhelming, but don't be afraid to order a handful as they are super affordable after all. I also ordered the Eel Egg & Shiso Spam ($4.68) Musubi. This was a lot flavorful and more exciting to eat than what I picked up at Foodland, which was a sad excuse for a Musubi. Highly recommend to grab as snacks for your adventures or mid-day hike.

This place was recommended to me by a friend who grew up here! Really solid musubis with a variety of flavors available!I ordered the salmon and seaweed as well as the egg spam musubi! Personally I would only order the spam based musubis as it was much more flavorful! The store is pretty small with a bunch of random merch available to buy! There's a section in the back as well where you can just sit and eat as well! The musubis are made to order and they're so quick to get it to you!This is an ideal place if you just want something super affordable and quick!

I've always wanted to try musubi cafe and it did not dissappoint! I went to 3 locations during my trip in Honolulu and this one was my favorite. I believe this location carried the most variations / options for musubi toppings. the eel egg musubi is my favorite! if you're a fan of musubis i definitely recommend, the prices are reasonable. i would skip the riceballs/onigiri, it felt like too much unseasoned rice and not enough filling inside.this location has a couple of tables inside, but i'd recommend taking your musubis to go eat on the beach! just watch out for the birds attacking if you leave your things lol.

This was a budget lifesaver while I was out in Waikiki for three weeks! Also, I'm appreciative they are open early and later. It's hard to spot the restaurant due to construction but they are definitely still there and they are open!It's just a quick order and go type of place--there's not seating--but why not just wander to the beach and watch some waves while you eat?? They had lots of yummy musubi options--eel, shiso herb, kimchi, etc. All of it was prepped super quickly, so don't let the long lines scare you. The staff were all very friendly as well. Highly recommend checking out this little joint and perusing some of their souvenir items while you wait for your food!!

We ordered 2 spam, bacon, and egg musubi, 2 spam, shrimp, and egg musubi, and 2 spam, eel, egg musubi. We quickly received order. Tasty, quick, cheap meal. Would return!

We stumbled across Musubi Cafe walking near our hotel looking for a quick snack. This is a great spot to try a variety of different great quality musubis.We tried the avocado, eel, egg musubi & avocado, bacon, spam musubi. Both were very tasty and hit the spot. If you've been to Hawaii you know just about everyone sells their own musubis, but place does them well. I would come back!

Musubi Cafe Iyasume is the place to visit for Musubi and spam lovers. At the time of this review, there appears to be construction on Uluniu Avenue so this is a heads-up that the cafe may be difficult to locate behind scaffolding. Due to its popularity, expect a queue but use the wait time to check out their cute Musubi and spam themed merch. The staff is friendly and they do their best to serve their customers as efficiently as possible.I ordered the Deluxe combo which includes choice of 2 Musubi, fried chicken, sausage, egg and vege miso soup. I'd highly recommend both the Eel, Egg & Shiso Spam and the Avocado Bacon Spam. Ingredients were high quality, but the rice was a bit much. I ended up dropping the extra rice in my miso soup to finish off my yummy meal. Mahalo to Musubi Cafe Iyasume for serving up a menu that is both affordable and oishii!

Highly recommend stopping by Musubi Cafe Iyasume - I wasn't the biggest musubi fan before this, but have officially been converted. We loved it so much we came here twice during our short stay in Waikiki - the prices are great for a quick lunch or dinner, and the musubis are so filling. You can take it to go or eat inside the small shop though seating is limited. My favorites were the black pepper spam (the marinade is so flavorful and good if you want just a simple spam one) and the egg cucumber spam musubi (if you want some different textures). My husband's favorites were the black pepper as well, the eel egg spam, and the salmon mayo musubi (if you want to go for a non-spam option).

Good place to grab your breakfast, lunch or snacks at the beach. The menu could be a bit initiating if you've never been here before, but take a menu and step aside and decide. Please don't hug the line just trying to read the menu with hundreds of items! I liked the 2 rice balls & miso soup combo. They give you a napkin, spoon and the food in a bag so you can take it to the beach and enjoy your food with a beautiful view of Waikiki beach, which is 5 short minutes walk.

Delicious and affordable musubis! I got the eel egg and spam and it was so yummy and filling.
