    Early lunch in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawai'i... Located at Kapalama Shopping Center, Bahn Mi'licious is a cute, clean café with friendly service, pleasant music, air-conditioning, free parking, and delicious food! Jasmine greeted me right away and asked how I wanted my bread for my Bahn Mi... more crunch on the outside? Soft inside? Regular? Later, she checked on me... and after a while, the male staff took my used plate away. Thank you! Jasmine also suggested that I try the ginger lemonade... which was better than I expected! I added water to make my drink last longer... and I smashed the fresh ginger slices with my straw to make good use of the ginger! The lemongrass tofu Bahn mi had a lot of flavor from the pickled veggies and marinated tofu! The crust of the bread was crisp and light! Yum! I'm looking forward to returning!

    I ordered the Lemon grass bahn mi sandwich and it was so tasty. I appreciate the veggie option. The veggie ingredients were fresh and the sauces perfectly seasoned. I would come back to try their pho.

    First time and blown away with the taste of the banh mi. The baguette was light and flaky. The pork and meatloaf was balanced with picked veg and jalapeños. Service was fast. The location was convenient and the restaurant was clean and looked new. Definitely coming back to try the banh mi with lemongrass chicken.

    Opened on 2/9/26, I was excited to read other Yelper reviews of Bahn Mi'licious, a new casual Vietnamese restaurant in the Kapalama Shopping Center. Owner Jasmine Nguyen uses her traditional family recipes in offering her signature bahn mi sandwiches and 12-hour simmered pho. Also offered are summer rolls, stir-fried noodles, and rice dishes using pork chicken, beef, and vegetarian items. While the menu may be limited at this time, additional Vietnamese dishes can easily be added. Jasmine has experience in the restaurant industry offering Vietnamese cuisine. She is associated with other family members who formerly owned Ripples of Smiles when it was in Kaimuku and then moved to Kailua before it closed, as well as the current Vietnam Deli in Kailua and another Bahn Mi Licious location in Clovis CA. On the day we came, just as it opened, Jasmine welcomed us in seating us at a table; however, she noted that the "big bone" wasn't delivered, so she couldn't prepare her pho for serving. It was being delivered today, so the pho would be ready the next day. We then decided to order the lemongrass banh mi to go and return the next day for the pho. As soon as we left, Jasmine posted a note on the front entrance, noting that the restaurant was closed for the day. We returned the next day, and Jasmine assisted us again. Here's our views on what we had: * Lemongrass chicken banh mi. The bread was crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The sandwich was loaded with cucumbers, carrots, sweet onion, house pickles, jalapeno, mayo, pate, cilantro, and black pepper sauce. Hubby enjoyed the house-made pate and black pepper sauce that made the banh mi delicious, and despite the generous filling, I thought the sauces made the bread chewy as you reached the middle. * Beef pho. Served piping hot, the flavorful pho included sirloin, brisket, meatballs, tendon, sliced onions, cilantro, green onions. Fresh basil, bean sprouts, jalapeno, and lemon were served to accompany the pho. Both of us enjoyed the tasty one-size pho and can see what 12 hours of simmering will do with a 5-hour rest period; however, we felt that the serving size could have been larger based on its price point. We love that the tables had condiments that could be used: hoi sin sauce, Sriacha, hot chili sauce, house-made chili oil/sauce, minced sweet onion, and a shoyu seasoning s sauce. Excellent customer service, as owner Jasmine tended to our needs. She always had a smile and appeared to be passionately happy with her new restaurant! The small clean restaurant seats 24 and has some nicely wooden-carved tables. It was interesting that jazz music was playing in the background, and Jasmine noted that it was because she loved jazz music. Nice ambiance on a casual restaurant! Hours of operation are daily 10a to 8p. Located in the same shopping center as Zippy's, Egghead Cafe, and Elvin's Bakery, free parking is available in the private lot; however, spaces are hard to find during peak dining periods due to other restaurants in the complex. Note that a 4% fee is charged if credit cards are used instead of cash. Banh Mi'Licious is a nice addition to this shopping complex. Congratulations to Jasmine for her new restaurant and wish that it will be a successful venture for her! We look forward in returning to try additional menu items! Support local!

    Jasmine, the owner...making the store preparations for the business day.

    Jasmine at Banh Mi'licious is the best! She greeted me right away with a smile and coffee...way cool hostess! I bought the Banh Mi'licious baguette sandwich, the flavorful beef brisket. I already tried the sampler Banh Mi'licious when I did my laundry here at Kapalama Plaza. Just trying out a grand opening for a cool Yelp review and I made a friend. Stop by and try out an authentic Vietnamese style gourmet sandwich, you won't be disappointed.

    Pho'nomenal sautéed- golden pork! Yummy and flavorful! I ordered the pho broth on the side

    There's a new Vietnamese restaurant in the Kapalama Shopping Center where you find Zippy's. Banh Mi'licoous just opened 02/09/26 and they just had their 3 days special with 21% off. Aw I missed it by 1 day but she gave me 10% off being the 4th day. I do enjoy Vietnamese food and usually get the banh mi or the cold vermicelli with pork & spring rolls, but what caught my eye was the phonominal sautéed. Oh I really liked it! The pork and everything mixed together was so flavorful and I got the pho broth for additional $5.50. I pre-ordered on the phone which I would recommend. I did wait a couple minutes and also got the ginger lemonade! I do like ginger so it was refreshing with slice or two of ginger in the drink. The place was bright and clean. The lady, perhaps part owner was really nice while her husband or seemed like family prepared my order. Just the two of them and was happy to give my support. My mom had tried my left over and she enjoyed it. Lately she has been a picky eater. I would ordered this again! Noticed there's a 4% fee on charge card order. It's a little more than some places at 3% and my credit card has a 2.5% cash reward so I decided to pay cash lol. I really liked this dish but I look forward to trying the other menu items. Just based on this dish, I'll give it a 5 stars. Please support them. Lots of free parking!

    Special Bahm mi

    New Vietnamese eatery in the Kapalama Shopping Center. Just opened 5 days ago. We went to try the Bahm mi sandwiches. I had the Saigon special and my wife had the Grill chicken. Sweet lady made conversation with my wife while we waited. Service was excellent. My wife and I agreed the the bread had a nice crust, but chewy. Willing to try the Pho next time Enjoy

    Just open 5 days ago per the cashier maybe owner. Saw this place on yelp. Located in the Kapalama shopping ctr where ahi and vegetable and Elvins bakery located. Donna O. came here and took pictures on her drink and the inside and her food she bought . So today after dropping my taxes off with my cpas office we came here and ordered bahn mi sandwichs. I had grilled chicken and my husband had pork and meatloaf Saigon special bahn mi. I thought my bahn mi was good had lots of pickled vegetables like daikon, carrots cucumber. The spread they use is a homemade pate spread they put on the bottom of the baguette. Kinda like a mayo but the taste is hard to explain. My chicken was sautéed with some kind of Thai flavoring then grilled. My husband said hes one was ok. The baguette was hard and crusty should of have been a little softer. Other than this said this place just opened try them if you like pho and bahn mi sandwiches. You can request certain things taken out from your bahn mi like jalapeños, clinatro, onions etc or just leave it in.

    Beef pho with Thai tea

    I have been going to this restaurant since it opened in February. I don't often post reviews on yelp, but I believe that this place has the best Vietnamese food on Oahu. The owner jasmine is very kind, and you can tell that she cares about her customers and the quality of her food. It reminds me of a home cooked meal! I have tried everything on her menu, and you really cannot go wrong with anything. My favorites are the beef pho, BBQ pork or lemongrass bahn mi, and the spring rolls. If you like Vietnamese food and are nearby, definitely give this place a shot!

    Side pho broth
    Nicole B.

    I ordered carry out on their first day of business. Jasmine was very kind and provided great service. I ordered a lemongrass chicken bahn mi, stir fried noodles with pork, a side pho broth, and a ginger lemonade. Everything was wrapped with care and I made it home with all my goodies in tact! I had the bahn mi & broth. The bahn mi was excellent. The broth was also amazing with slices of onion and cilantro included. Also, it was basically a full sized soup! Usually when I prefer a side broth it's a small/mini size. The noodles my friend ordered looked awesome with lots of veggies and meat (pork). I'll definitely be back! The establishment has a nice, clean, and inviting set up.

    Veggie lemongrass tofu banh mi
    Presley P.

    The BEST banh mi we've ever had. The bread was insanely fresh and soft but had the perfect crispy crunch on the outside. It was like a cloud! Came here on a whim and we'll definitely be back! I had the lemongrass tofu and he had the brisket. They were both phenomenal! The thai iced tea was also in a league of its own. The veggie spring rolls were flavorful and bright. 100/10!

Their Classic is filled with (beef, tomato base, corn, onion and American cheese) encased in buttered white bread which is then toasted hot and crispy, it's a fun and yummy snack that's totally portable to munch on.
