Sam SDecember 31, 2015Delicious. Try the curry bowl, if you're not into musubi. But why are you not into musubi?! The teriyaki SPAM musubi is great. Alternatively, the salmon & seaweed musubi was also exceptional.
D VJune 16, 2013Egg, bacon and spam? All together? Hell yes!!! While this hole on the wall only seats 8 and the menu is on the wall and the counter, everything is amazing. Try the spicy tuna rice ball as well.

Andrew KirklandFebruary 5, 2018Great place for a quick bite. They have lots of yummy bento boxes and various Musubi (a cross between sushi and onigiri). A better than MacDonald's or Burger King if you want something quick and yummy
Who went and told everybody about this place?! The secret is out. My fav musubis. I’ll eat them all....my precious beautiful spammy babies. Don’t sleep on the rice balls either. Tuna curry mayo!
Spam musubi made fresh to order. I’d argue that you can’t find one better than here. I personally really enjoy the classic spam and egg, but try whatever additions you might like -unagi, kimchi, etc.
Vincent DerelleFebruary 4, 2019Really enjoyed the food experience here. Kitschy, local, delicious. You have to try one of the spam sushis but the curry is sublime too. Great decor.
The SPAM musubi are made fresh to order, they can’t keep them stocked fast enough! My favorite SPAM is the shiso ume, herbal and sour, so good!
Kanji IshiwaraNovember 16, 2019The premade musubi and bento boxes were delicious and affordable. I always try to stop by and get my musubi fix here whenever I’m in town.- Such great musubi (my favorite is the spicy roe) and the spam ones are classic Hawaii!!
Vince WongSeptember 13, 2014Quaint cafe with a wide selection of musubis (essentially Hawaiian onigiri). My favorites were the 1) ume (plum)/spam, and 2) spicy cod roe/salmon. $5 min for credit cards, so buy a BUNCH to snack on.
Ailie ChangNovember 14, 2017They definitely have a lot of variety and it's good but not amazing. We picked up a couple to eat on the beach and also take home to the hotel room. We liked the spam, egg, and cucumber musubi.
Eatosaurus RexFebruary 2, 2016What would you expect to get from a place called Musubi Cafe Iyasume? That's right, carne asada burritos. Wait, I mean musubi. Get one with cucumber in it.
- JoySeptember 19, 2014I've never eaten so much spam in my life! Spam & egg musubi and the oyster bento are must have's. Great for a beach lunch.
Terri MAugust 23, 2014Located in the 1st floor of Pacific Monarch hotel, right next door to Jinroku. A bigger store with eat-in tables. Unlike other 2 Waikiki stores, they accept credit card, a big plus✌️
Leslie GrecoJune 21, 2021Large variety of delicious musubi. Makes an excellent on the go meal or snack. We usually stop here just before heading to the airport.
JessicaSeptember 16, 2014Great snacks to grab before heading to the beach; all the masubis and onigiris were excellent! My favorite is the cucumber/spam/ume masubi.
The best musubis I've ever had. The plum one is my favorite. They make a great beach snack.
Do it, do it now. The Musubi selection here is just delicious. Try the spam, bacon and avocado and the red and green shiso!
Kylie MatsumotoOctober 1, 2014Spicy chicken musubi is bomb! I love the spicy sauce. Couldn't find the original location, so had to settle for this one. Just as good and the atmosphere was much cuter :3
Jaime RabaFebruary 10, 2015Inexpensive noodle yet delicious, amazing flaked salmon on rice (real deal, watch out for bones), huge salmon rice ball to die for.
Joshua BoggsFebruary 24, 2020The best spam musubi. Quick and cheap. Try spam & egg for a simple classic. Or spam, avocado, and shrimp tempura for something deluxe.
Ben MartinekJanuary 18, 2015Omg, sooo good and affordable. Went here numerous times on trip. The Curry and the Bacon, Egg and Spam masubi are fantastic
Vanessa YyAugust 30, 2017Perfect place for late night food craving and quick meal! Oden is so good!💕💕
Abraham RonelJanuary 6, 2017Inexpensive quick way to eat. It gives you a quick idea of local food, which (unexpectedly) is a mix between asian and american food.
Randy H.November 20, 2016Had their bacon, avacado, and spam musubi pack (which comes with fried chicken, sausage and egg). All very delicious and a great value!
Simone JungJanuary 12, 2016Must get the salmon with spicy cod roe onigiri, the spicy fried chicken onigiri, and pretty much any of their musubi
Shirley LiuNovember 12, 2015Try their different musubi options like spam and cheese or spam egg and bacon
Hao TranNovember 28, 2015Excellent quick snack or lunch. Can't beat the value, within walking distance of most Waikiki beachfront hotels
Matt Ta-MinJune 12, 2015A must do in Honolulu for any lover if spam. Bacon egg and avocado spam masubi was amazing.
JustinSeptember 16, 2016Spam musubi and onigiri are the best foods for a day at the beach and on the hiking trail.
SoxinlyDecember 2, 2016OMG - best mushubi ever! Try to spam, egg and cucumber one. Perfect balance and flavor!- Spam egg cucumber is my favorite. Yummy bento boxes and curry bowls too.
Lorena V.September 25, 2011What makes their musubi better than the others is the high quality of the short grain rice. Get the spam, egg and cucumber musubi. You can't go wrong!
Momma C 🌴🌺April 13, 2014Yes it is down the alley. Don't miss it. You may walk past it the first time. It's worth hunting down.
EdykatOctober 27, 2018Love their choices of Spam Musubis. They have so much choices to chose from. Is a must to visit
Mari BandomaDecember 4, 2012Bacon, egg and cheese spam musubis are so yum! Get it free on your birthday!
Kevin HuynhJanuary 14, 2014Love the place! So many choices and freshly made. Must visit and early hour!
This place is awesome. Every time we come to Hawaii we eat here in the morning. Bacon and egg musubi is awesome.
Mike RobertsAugust 30, 2014They moved to the pacific monarch hotel, to save you some time finding this in the future.- Miriam BrehOctober 18, 2019Tried Musubi's here for the first time. Loved the ones with Avocado and Shrimp.
Janice LeungJuly 21, 2015Pick up some musubis for a really good snack. You can ask them to leave out the spam/bacon for a vegetarian treat.- Lora ShmoraJanuary 17, 2012Spam egg and cucumber is a must! Or spicy chicken mayo. Everything is delicious, and super cheap!
Garry ChienMarch 13, 2012The miso salmon, chicken w/ mayo, and bacon egg spam are amazing. Great value too!!
ᴡ ConcepcionMarch 28, 2011Amazingly tasty rice balls. Spent the past few days eating at touristsy places ($$$$$) when we should have been eating at places like this that taste so much better and cost so much less ($).
