    Lemongrass Chicken Sandwich
    Hannah D.

    Amazing food!! The service was fast, food was fresh, iced coffee was great. I would suggest getting the food to go and taking to the beach or a park to eat - not a ton of seating at the restaurant

    Probably one of the best banh mi options on the island! Located on the top level of this building, this banh mi has a perfectly crispy/baked bread and well balanced mix of ingredients. We ordered both the Saigon special and the crispy pork options. I personally preferred the Saigon social due to its balanced taste, it didn't feel overly heavy, and everything worked well together. This place tends to sell out closer to closing so I recommend buying early! They have plenty of seats inside and outside and service is quick. My only qualm, as with everything in hawaii, is the prices are starting to get pretty expensive. But otherwise I will def be coming back!

    Roast pork sandwich and Peach Tea
    Safari C.

    Thank you Le and Associates! With the crispy roast pork nestled in blankets of veg and the perfect slice of jalapeño to bring us some fresh heat? It was a warm breeze to a late Honolulu afternoon. Here I don't have to ask for extra pâtè or jalapeño or anything really. It's a perfect sandwich. Their Saigon Special is super special. But this was my last day with pork for a bit and wanted to have some fun in a banh mi shop that just hits. Every time. And, I usually select their Vietnamese coffee, but the peach tea was calling my name and was the perfect alternative! The roast pork had this sweet glaze that paired perfectly. It was the perfect porch snack! Or should I say lanai? This was a perfect sandwich in the middle of January, smack dab in the middle of the Pacific, I am torched even in the middle of winter. Cooked.

    This place was a hit! Found it on yelp after searching for Bahn mi sandwich spots It's on the top floor. I had the Roast pork bahn mi which was DELICIOUS. I enjoyed Every single bite. Crispy bread with crispy roast pork and fresh vegetables. OMG I think this is the best bahn mi sandwich I've ever eaten. My husband had the #1 sandwich. Sorry forgot the name but he didn't like it as much as he liked mines. I will definitely come here again and again and again!

    Ordered for takeout at 11am on a Saturday, and only waited a few minutes for two sandwiches to come out. They're located on the third floor and have a few tables indoors and another couple outdoors if you choose to dine-in. The building also has public restrooms on the same floor. I split the Saigon Special and the Roasted Pork banh mi with my partner so we were able to try both options. The bread was pretty good- airy, crisp, and doesn't scratch up your mouth! There was a good amount of pickled veggies, pate, and meat to be satisfied. I typically love a good cold cuts sandwich, but surprisingly, I preferred the roast pork sandwich- the fat of the pork belly was rendered out so nicely and was another crispy element of the sandwich, while the meaty bits were rich and tender.

    We saw that Le's Banh Mi made the Top 100 restaurants list so we decided we had to try Le's in our next trip to Oahu. They are located close to Walmart and Sam's Club. There is a small valet parking lot that serves the businesses in the small complex. It took a little searching but we found street parking in a cluttered neighborhood next to Walmart. We ordered 4 Banh Mi: two of the Saigon Special, a Roasted Pork and a Lemongrass Chicken sandwich. The rolls were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The vegetables were all very fresh, tasty, not limp and a good amount of ingredients. The Roasted Pork was really rich from a lot of fat from the meat which overpowered the sandwich. The Saigon Special was good but the Lemongrass Chicken was the best. It takes awhile to make the sandwiches so be prepared to wait a little bit. It took about 20 minutes to get our sandwiches which gave me time to peruse the Cookie Lady shop a couple of doors over. Overall the sandwiches were very good with the exception of the Roasted Pork sandwich. It was still a good sandwich just overpiwe the fat. Li's Banh Mi is worth a visit to try one of the sandwiches. The service is okay, parking a challenge and the prices are about what should be expected.

    I am not a banh mi expert by any means, but this is the best banh mi I have ever had. The crunch of the bread and everything in between was a symphony of different flavors and textures. Food was made to order and not too much wait. There were 2 tables inside and a few more outside. This is definitely a go to for banh mi sandwich and I dont generously give 5 stars and this one was worth it.

    The Roasted pork was succulent, so juicy juicy juicy, with crackling skin. I was biting into heaven. Really good Vietnamese sandwich on the third floor to the right hand side. We had the roast pork sandwich and it was fresh and delicious. The meat was tasty and tender with lots of flavor. The pickled daikon and carrots were sweet, the fresh herbs and vegetables added more freshness to the mix. The sliced jalapeño gave it an extra kick of spiciness. And can't forget the bread, it was crispy and soft, nicely baked to perfection. It doesn't get better than this. I call in for my order but somehow it failed to pass through to the kitchen. The gentleman at the cashier was really nice and gave me a discount plus 2 extra baguette for the mix-up. Plus the sandwiches came out in 5 minutes so not a big deal at all. I would come back for more!

    @fortunefoodfinds: "Don't BAGUETTE to smile today! A Roasted Pork n' a Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi Combo 1 that's paired with a Vietnamese Ice Coffee from Le's BANH MI located at the 808 Center. Whether you dine-in or grab to-go, you can find their scrumptious sandwiches on the top floor just so you know!" Staff: friendly Interior: small, very limited seating, maybe 2 parties max. Surprisingly was able to fit our very large stroller. Exterior: on 3rd floor, elevator available, some table seating Wait time: 10 mins Parking: valet, metered street Overall comments: you get a Vietnamese ice coffee in Combo 1, which I believe saves you $1. The bread was crisp on the outside n' soft on the inside. The roasted pork had the crispy skin n' succulent meat while the lemongrass chicken was flavorful n' tasty. The pickled n' fresh veggies brought the sweet crunch. Both sandwiches were yuMmmy!

    Hair in the banh mi sandwich

    I get my banh mi from here once in a while since their freshly baked baguette is the best! Best banh mi on the island for sure. However, my banh mi from today had 2 strands of black short hair. This was a disappointing and unappetizing experience for sure... Dear owners, please make sure this doesn't happen to the other customers since you guys make the best sandwich

    Jess C.

    Wow, this place is so good! They absolutely nailed the bread which was fresh and crusty. The pickled vegetables and herbs were the perfect amount with the right acidity, so I didn't need to pay extra. But the best part was the delicious, roasted pork inside that complemented the bread and vegetables perfectly. My husband and I are split on which we prefer; I'm a fan of Le's, and he prefers No Name. Both have less-than-ideal parking. I love that Le's is open early, but remember you have to go around back to find the stairwell.

    Tofu and mushroom banh mi
    Lakshmi M.

    Bread was breading, fillings filled to the brim, and tastes were tasting amazing. I was surprised to see a spot with so many good reviews (cautiously optimistic?) but honestly, I can see why. This spot is tucked into the 3rd floor at a complex with other eateries and can be easy to miss if you're not looking from the street. The interior is small but bright and cute and the outdoor tables are a great vibe. You order at the counter and there are a mix of banh mi, viet coffees/teas. We pulled through with a matcha so can't comment on the viet coffee, but others seemed to really enjoy it. Now for the banh mi, your girl had to get the mixed tofu and mushroom one (you can do both or either one of the two as your veggie option). The banh mi are not playing AROUND. The bread is super crisp crunchy without being hard and the inside is fluffy perfection. The pickled veggies and jalapeno topping are A+ and they do not skimp whatsoever. My friend's lemongrass chicken banh mi was also bustin at the seams. My only qualm was that the tofu/mushroom was a biiit sweeter than I'd like but I think easily fixed with more jalapeno or chili sauce. You get great quality and quantity for the price and service is super friendly. Street parking in the area isn't bad either! Come thru and support this cute business with some of the best banh mi I have had in a while!

    Super delicious I went with my sister. She got the lemongrass chicken and I got the Saigon special. The baguette was really warm and crispy. I also ordered a peach tea and she got the coffee with foam. Service was super fast and easy. I ordered mine as a combo. I like how quiet it was and it was only down the street from Walmart .

    no frills, simple packaging.

    Is the bread baked fresh onsite or is it from Bale?

    No .. they make it fresh... That's why... in my opinion.. it is better than Bales ..

    Do you sell just the pate?

    Sorry we don’t

    Do you sell the bread? If so, how much? I used to get them in Texas 3 for $1.00, a little over a year ago.

    Hi Colin, We sell plain baguette here for $1.50 each (small one that we use for sandwiches).

    Parking? Is there a fee?

    Valet parking is available at the building (1st hour free). Street parking also available, or you can park at Walmart and walk over

    Can you get a combo of roast pork or lemongrass chicken bahn mi with an iced coffee? (The menu only shows the Saigon special with coffee for $15)

    We can do that…. Please ask upon your arrival

    Do you have delivery?

    Hi Brenda, We dont do delivery directly from the shop, but you can order from Uber Eats and get it delivered.… Read more

I was staying in Waikiki and Kona Coffee Purveyors was just a short walk away in the International Marketplace shopping center. As I came up to the shopping center shortly after 7am, I noticed a long line, and thought to myself, this couldn't possibly be for Kona Coffee Purveyors, right?? But unfortunately for me, it was. I didn't see how long the line extended, but I knew I didn't have time to wait, so I ended up getting coffee elsewhere. A few hours later, around 11:30am, I was back in the Waikiki area and happened to be walking past Kona Coffee Purveyors. I saw there were maybe a handful of people in line, so I decided to drop in. I ended up getting a latte, black sesame kouign amann, and pandan coconut tapioca pudding. My favorite was the pandan coconut tapioca pudding which was delightfully light and not too sweet dessert. Black sesame kouign amann: A twist on the classic kouign amann. A beautiful blend of crunchy and soft. The black sesame filling adds a nice flavor. Pandan coconut tapioca pudding: Pandan pudding, coconut tapioca, topped with coconut macaroon. This seems to be a seasonal/limited item. Their desserts are from b patisserie, and they all looked soo enticing and pretty! It was a nice place to sit and leisurely enjoy coffee and pastries. I would say this place is not worth it right when they open, only because the line is soo long and it's very hectic with people fighting for seating and getting their orders in. I would recommend going later in the morning or in the afternoon to avoid the morning craze.
