They used to be called "Christinas" across the way but now they are Papas Deli.....Located in the "Nimitz business center" same center as mini garden express......Same good very affordable food...friendly cool staff..a very good valueMore of a pick and go place but definetely a place for good cheap eats....3 choice breakfast under $82 scoop rice...2 big eggs.... I went with pork link sausage (3) bacon (3) and like 6 piece portugese sausage.....if u hungry this place is the deals

Great prices! Love almost everything! Not a fan of their local moco . That's just me.I used to go to Joe's next-door, but you can't beat two eggs of rice and three choices of meat for just under eight dollars!

So much good food here and the workers are so kind! With shared parking with the plaza, it is easily accessible and quick to get to.The food here is so tasty and feels like it was made with love. I highly recommend for a nice meal. There are so many options to choose from. I like the lunch plates a lot, it has everything I want in a meal.

Second time to eat here this time we grabbed lunch. Pork adobo plate and hamburger steak and gravy plates. Comes with 2 scoops rice and a salad of your choice. Adobo plate was soft meat with little to no fat. Tasty! Hamburger steak plate had 2 burgers, gravy. I like my burger with onions but this is good for those who don't. Lots of gravy on it too! Always good service here and good sized portions for the prices.

Papa's Deli opened about 2-1/2 months ago. They are located between Subway and Joe's Grill's Express at the Nimitz Commercial Center. It was more of a take out place with a few chairs along the counter by the window. There was a family having breakfast together: It's a small place offering breakfast from 7am and lunch items. On an early Sunday morning, Mini Garden Express and Papa's Deli & bento were the only ones opened so far. They had a few pre-made bentos for grab and go.He had a picture menu but said it was from the previous restaurants Ann's Kitchen on Republican St and Christine's Diner. The man was busy helping the front and back with another worker. He was nice and helpful. I was able to ordered Lechon with greens and macaroni salad. The lechon was thin and on the crispier side with tomato and onions. The macaroni salad was simple with grated carrots and the greens had a different but tasty dressing. I couldn't figured out the dressing. Maybe made with a little fish sauce? All and all it was good. Nothing to write home about. I would come again and try other dishes since I used to go to Christine's Diner and always wanted to try Ann's Kitchen. I wish them well and want to support small & local businesses.

One of the best meals/$ in the area. Opens early everyday. Great place to pick up a quick take out meal.

Papa's Deli is located near Nimitz Highway in the same complex as the former Chan's Buffet Chineese Restaurant. I believe they are the former Ann's Kitchen owners.PARKINGThey share the area with other establishments so parking can be busy, especially during the lunch. Best time to come was on the weekends.FOODThey have an excellent variety of food. From filipino dishes, hawaiian and other local dishes. My favorite is the diniguan plate. So much flavor and they aren't stingey with their portions either. Adobo is another favorite. Can't go wrong with this one. Plus, they were serving breakfast at lunch too. So, if ou're craving some breakfast food for lunch they have that option. This is the go-to fast take out place if you want some well priced, nicely portioned filipino food!

I was going to buy lunch from Joe's Grill but decided to try Papa's instead, which opened right next door. The premade bento's looked good and were reasonable, like $8-9. Then I saw the menu and I was intrigued by the spicy black bean ribs so I ordered a plate. Then I saw pasteles stew so the girl talked me into a mixed plate. I think it cost me at least $15. The ribs turned out really delicious and I would definitely order this again. As for the pastele stew, it was OK but I wouldn't order this again. I will definitely return and try some Filipino cuisine the next time.

Husband decided that since we never came here maybe we should try it.He placed the order for us as I was on my way to meet him there.*Baked chicken plate - a lot for the price. Basic with not enough flavoring.*roast pork plate - gravy was floury and from looking at it the meat was touching the air and dried the pieces out making it hard.*hamburger steak plate - so upset to see a big chunk of white piece. If I'm not mistaken it may have been bread or egg as a binding ingredient and wasn't mixed well into meat patty but it was gross. Gravy was same as roast pork, floury!*pork chop plate - more like pork loin. Husband said this one was the best one of all but lacked flavor.Good was big but didn't fill my opu due to the lack of flavor.I don't recommend dining in. They have one counter to eat at and it's so hot in there especially with no AC and all the fridge near the counter, where the coils bounce back against the wall and circulates the hot heat. Eat in ur car.

Food was great at great prices! Definitely worth visiting while in Honolulu! Will definitely be back!
