The Traditional Banh mi is so good that we drove from Pearl City, paid $6 for parking and walked 1/4-1/2 mile to have another go at this delicious food! The service is friendly and fast! And I love the ambiance of the location once you find it downstairs next to Maguro. It depends on which side of the street you enter from but it's truly worth the drive in traffic. The other sandwich we ordered was the 2 charsu Bahn Mi. But, after woofing both down in record time the winner is THE TRADITIONAL! If you are near this area, you owe it to yourself to park on a side street and pay the $6 for two hours parking and enjoy yourself cuz this Banh mi is as good as it is and as authentic as when Vietnam but actually a bit better due to the hot crispy bread roll. Just to die for! read more

Great banh mi! We got the kahlua pig and it was fantastic. Savory, smoky meat. Crunchy vegetables. Crispy, soft bread. Not Vietnamese prices, but pretty good for the area. read more

Ordered the kahlua pork sandwich and would highly recommend. The bread was super fresh and had a nice soft crunch. Kahlua pork was a nice twist on a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich. read more

Basically it's among the many vendors in an Asian shopping center. It may be a small place but it's big on taste. Aloha Hotdog & Banh Mi has American and Vietnamese street food. Got something better than expected to be honest. The prices aren't good but they're okay for here at least. A better than expected small food vendor in this kind of shopping center full of things for Asians to eat and get. It's mostly here to cater to the Asians who frequent this. The menu has a lot of the classic favorites they get in Vietnam. Good way to get authentic flavors. There's a section of the menu for vegetarians. It's about $12 for the Veggie Salad. This is mixed greens with seitan or whatever meat substitute they have on this. Good flavors. There's many other places in here to choose from, and you may have to because this place closes early a lot it seems. Cool place as long as they're open because a few times they haven't. It's located in the underground shopping center in the Hyatt Centric on Seaside. The menu is mostly meaty but there's some things for vegetarians. read more

Aloha Hotdog and Banh Mi - Blue Tea And The Vegetarian Hot Dog - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The twist made yumminess... Aloha Hotdog & Bahn Mi is located in the lower level of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza the opposite side of Stix Asia though is connected across is much easier from the Royal Hawaiian Ave entrance. Already with neighbors like Royal Lobster and Waffle & Berry this part of the hood is looking quite uniquely their own. Love their menu selection of hotdog and bahn mi to make the whole crowd happy as I went with the BBQ Hotdog which doesn't sound like much but as it's loaded base is a massive Hawaiian bun which is a vessel that's able hold the massive load of toppings which includes bbq sauce and kimchi relish with a kick of sriracha this bite of a sweet roll with salty hotdog and spicy sauce kick has my tastebuds doing a happy dance. To pair my bite I decided on a Lemonade Decoco which a yummy tropical twist on the lemonade and for additional $1.50 enjoyed it in this festive cup which has a stopper at the straw opening making it a great storage as well when you have drinks left over without much spillage is nice. The service here is nice and friendly and the aesthetics of the storefront is so fun and cute and with some seating provided by the shopping center it's a great spot so relax and enjoy in a nice air conditioned spot. Thank you! read more

Found this little gem by accident reading online reviews. It's in an asian food court with a bunch of other asian stalls. I got a hot dog from reviews and I actually liked it. I also had the banh mi char siu and the banh mi chicken. Both were good but the bread was the star of the show. I came back 2 days back to back. Next time I come back to town will definitely go again. read more

Really tasty banh mi! Often my biggest gripe with banh mi is the bread not being crunchy and crusty - but they've nailed it! I had the chicken, and it had lots of flavour, and was super tender. The service is pleasant and quick, and the sandwich came out relatively quickly since there was a big group who ordered before me. They also use real red chillies! Not just the offer of sriracha or jalapeños. Yum! It is in a food hall, so it's not an intimate experience, but all you need is a table and a napkin for good banh mi. read more

i'm a huge hotdog lover, and this was hands down the best hotdog i've ever had. i got the Aloha hotdog, and it completely blew me away. the pineapple marmalade was perfectly sweet, and their house-made mustard was incredible (and i don't even like mustard)! every flavor balanced so beautifully, which was such a delicious surprise. we literally ordered another one even though we'd already eaten a full meal before coming here. absolute perfection. incredibly friendly service, too! i'm already dreaming about my next visit! read more

Our son loved his hot dog here. The bread was especially yummy. Service was fast. It's a great option for kids. We got an awesome reusable cup with his lemonade, too! Lots of lemonade options... like lavender lemonade. The underground mall is surprisingly active with Maguro Brothers and the Haleiwa Town Shaved Ice spot. read more

Aloha Hotdog and Banh Mi - Merry Christmas! - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I wanted to like this place because of the high reviews, and to be fair--the hotdogs are good. But the customer service really needs improvement. It was our first time visiting, and there were four of us. We told him we were trying to get different hotdogs so we could share and try a variety. Since we weren't familiar with the menu, we asked for recommendations. The employee who helped us appeared very young and had a slim build. When I asked him for the top seller, he said "Aloha Hotdog," but when I asked him for a second recommendation, he seemed irritated and just pointed us to the menu. I understand the menu is there, but as first-time customers, we were simply looking for guidance. We ordered four hotdogs for four people, along with four drinks. However, only three drinks came out. When I politely mentioned that we were missing one, he responded, "You didn't tell me that," along with an eye roll. That response was disappointing. Mistakes happen--I wasn't upset about the missing drink. What bothered me was being made to feel like I was lying instead of getting a simple apology or a solution. Overall, the food is good, but his attitude and customer service really take away from the experience. read more

My wife had the Aloha Hot Dog with a pink lychee lemonade and I had their Char Siu Bahn MI (their suggestion). Definitely recommend this place when you're in Waikiki for the great food and friendly faces! read more

I'm visiting from the Midwest and the Aloha hot dog was one of the best hot dogs I've ever had. Highly recommend.

I'm late in leaving this review, I visited back in October, but my experience was great! I had the banh mi and it was the best I have had so far in Waikiki. I also enjoyed talking with the staff who were pleasant and kind. They have shared seating with the other restaurants in the food court. read more

Tried this place based on Yelp reviews...I'm all about the Kalua pork and the banh mi caught my eye. The meat was very tender and flavorful.. the roll could have been better...it was thinner than the baguettes normally used so made the sandwich saltier. Still enjoyable. read more

WOW this place was insanely good! We were eating maguro brother in front of aloha hotdog and Banh Mi and I couldn't stop staring at their menu because everything looked so good. We decided to give it and try and it was the best decision! We ended up getting the Kalua Pork Banh Mi with pink lychee lemonade which were both a 10/10! The kalua pork Banh mi was the best Banh mi I've ever had. The pork was perfectly cooked, moist and flavorful. The bread was so fresh, hot and crisp and the pickled veggies were perfection and balanced everything perfectly. I'd only suggest to add in some jalapeños for some spice! The lemonade was so refreshing and on the sweeter side but not too sweet! If you're in the area, this place is a must try. The owners were absolute sweethearts as well :) Still thinking about the Banh mi a week later read more

Best Bahn Mi on the island. Get the Char Siu Bahn Mi, extra pickled vegetables, two sauces on the side. Or, two of them, like I do. :)

wife loved the aloha hotdog. dog served on a giant sweet roll. we're trying to look good for the hawaii beaches, but that dog got devoured quick kalua pork banh mi was also very good. whoever made it stuffed the sandwich very well. served on a baguette that's not tough and not very flaky. one of the better banh mi sandwiches i've had in a while. read more

This is the perfect spot for breakfast! I tried the char siu sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. I also had the lemonade, which was so fresh and refreshing.

Aloha Hotdog and Banh Mi - Mango and strawberry lemonade - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Would not reccomend the vegetarian Banh Mi. The soy was just soy sausage cut up into big pieces, and there was barely any carrots or lettuce in the sandwich, not to mention a lack of any other banh mi fillings. Also, the bread ends were quite hard. Would not consider this to be a true banh MJ sandwich. Best part of the meal was the lemon ginger tea. read more

Good hot dogs, especially after a long swim in the ocean. Kind of hard to find but worth it.

A hidden gem at Waikiki Shopping Plaza. I stumbled upon this food vendor while looking for a quick lunch before heading to Hanauma Bay. The grilled beef banh mi is an absolute boom - I've been eating it two days in a row and still cant get enough! My husband tried the Aloha hotdog, recommended by the owner, paired with lemonade de coco. Everything was so good! read more

Aloha Hot Dog and Banh Mi is a new quick bites location in the lower level of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. I had their sandwich (banh mi) last week and it was perfect! The light crispiness of the french bread without hard edges and the soft fluffy inside soaking up the delicious combination of meats and pickled vegetables. It really was a good moment in time! I am writing this review a week late because I ordered one of their specialty Vietnamese coffees at 5p yesterday and it too was absolutely incredible! I tried to sip it but I couldn't stop myself from finishing the whole cup off in under a minute. So. Damn. GOOD! Anyway, I was up till 3am with crazy energy... Luckily I had a lot of paperwork to do and was not tired even at 3a! I am now awake about 8a and have a mellow morning because I finished so much last night. lol! So, if you want the best sandwich and legal amphetamine that tastes like candy (Vietnamese coffee) meet me at the Aloha Hot Dog and Banh Mi! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Got the aloha dog and Kalua pork bahn mi. The aloha dog was great, the bun was plush and the sauce was delicious. The bahn mi was also good though a bit more subtle in the flavor department. The veg was fresh and crunchy. read more

Food was really good. We ordered the beef and pork banh mi's. Employees were very kind.

Went here by chance for the first time but then the coffee and food was really good so we kept going there pretty much everyday we stayed in Waikiki. You must try the Viet milk coffee and the spicy pork sandwich and the sodas are good as well honestly everything we tried was really good you must try it if your in Waikiki. The store the is clean and the service is good too I think it's family owed and the ladies and the gentleman are very friendly. read more

We weren't sure what to expect from a hot dog place that also serves Banh Mi sandwhiches. Well, from the time we walked up to the front of the restaurant, we knew we would be very pleased. The owner was very patient with us and answered all of our questions about the numerous options in building my hot dog and my wife's beef Banh Mi. I told her I wanted one of their lemonades and she built one that was delicious and not too sweet. Everything about the hot dog was wonderful (great dog, wonderful bun, super sauces) and the Banh Mi was extremely tasty (according to my wife). A great new place that won't disappoint!! read more
