    Dry Noodles with Shrimp
    Jolene L.

    This is a convenient location in walking distance of my office so me and my coworkers came for lunch. They have lots of tables and chairs to dine in too. The menu is quite diverse but it was their Special Dry Noodles that caught our attention! Generous portion of rice noodles and veggies, you can order this with shrimp or roast pork. Both are very tasty!! Don't forget to try their Gold Chicken rice plate. It is tender and juicy, seasoned with 5 spice. This is served with fresh veggies and rice. Looking forward to trying other menu items!

    When a gỏi cuốn meets a Chả giò, or here in Hawai'i when a spring roll is stuffed into a summer roll. Or if you're still not with me when a crispy egg roll is stuffed into a fresh roll. And why don't more places have these?! In town and had to try it and it met every expectation I had. Pretty generous portion too, next time I would call my order in bc they take a little while to make BUT at least I know they're fresh. Also I wish there was a bit more mint for that fresh taste. I also wish that it came with a peanut sauce, but maybe that would be too heavy? Or maybe a mixture of their sweet chili with the peanut sauce?! Either way it was still hella good and I would definitely come back again for them, maybe I need to try my hand at it and make it myself at home . Parking is easy, the lot across where the HMart is is free for the first hour. Or street parking with meter. They also validate your parking if you're over the hour. The space is cute. Very clean aesthetic. Plenty of chairs and tables, can probably fit about 20 people inside. Support Local!

    Really really good combo!

    Wow no kidding this might be my favorite Banh mi I've tasted so far, even better than what I had in Westminster California. Tasted better than the OG Lee's sandwiches in mainland. That says a lot. I think the reason why it tasted so good was because everything was well balanced, and done well, so when combined, the whole Banh mi just tasted amazing. Their pickled vegetables were crunchy with the perfect balance of tang and sweetness. The bread was fresh and crunchy without cutting my gums. They put plenty of meat with the right ratio of meat and tendons (or the jelly part of the meat), and most of all, the sandwich was not dry because they put enough butter/mayo in the Banh mi. Oh yeah their shrimp summer rolls were good too. I like how they took the effort to put crispies in there. It made the whole roll taste much better with another dimension. It's a big statement to say it's the best Banh mi I've ever had but I honestly can't recall one that tasted better than this. I do appreciate when chefs take the extra step to make their food stand out. It's rare. I can't wait to go back. Definitely one of my regular lunch spots now! I wish they have a stamp card... haha

    If you like Vietnamese food you should check this place out. There's been a lot of pho and banh mi places popping up lately. This is one of the better ones. It's located at Kakaako, next to Mad Pie and Down to Earth. The place isn't big. It has about six tables, but people come in and out for take out. I got the Saigon Breakfast Combo $18. It's your choice of banh mi and a coffee. I got the specialty coffee, so it was $1 more. I got the Special Banh Mi. It came with mayo and two types of pork. I asked for no pate. I don't care for the gamey taste. I chose the iced salted foam coffee for my drink. My hubby got the lemongrass chicken banh mi $12.75. I appreciate that they label their banh mi sandwich wrappers, so we know which is which. Their banh mis are the regular size and not the tiny ones so many places are serving these days. Their roasted pork doesn't have the crispy skin. It's just the tender and juicy meat. Along with the roasted pork they include the steamed pork (cha lua). Cha is my favorite. I used to buy the whole roll of cha and just eat it plain. Their banh mi sandwiches are excellent. I just wish that they gave more protein. The salted foam coffee was also very good. The Vietnamese coffee was strong! They validate for parking. The first hour is free, second hour $2.99, third hour $3.99 and fourth hour $4.99.

    This cozy spot in the Kakaako is doing something I don't think anyone else is doing... Go ahead and Google "Spring rolls wrapped in summer rolls". Try to find something matching the art they have going on here... Betcha can't! The Hidden Crunch Rolls are a stand out and definite must order. We've been here a few times now, even twice in a week. Hidden Crunch Rolls everytime. Rolls, rice plates, noodles, and banh mi. Take you're pick, don't forget the bev and I don't think you'll be disappointed!

    Lemongrass Chicken Bahn Mi
    Michael K.

    New favorite Bahn Mi shop! I found this place by accident when my prior favorite was closed unexpectedly. So I rolled on over to Kakaako and enjoyed some baguette filled goodness. I had the lemongrass chicken and the BBQ pork Bahn Mi sandwiches. They are very generous with the portions, which I appreciate being of the larger than average variety in both width and personality. This cafe makes Bahn Mi just how it should be,with bread that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, good portions of meat, pickled veggies, and cilantro. I look forward to rolling through again to try some seasonal (spring and summer) rolls.

    Special Bahn Mi
    Sunshine C.

    Delicious large portions! I've had Rollin Rolls twice now. Dine in and carry out. Both were incredibly tasty and satisfying. I would have a hard time choosing between the Bahn mi and the hidden rolls, so you gotta eat with a friend and split them. Get the special Bahn mi if you like pâte. Get the lemongrass chicken if you don't. Both are super tasty with a great balance of fresh bread, creamy mayo, and tangy pickled veggies. I'm already looking forward to my next hidden rolls!

    Found Rollin Rolls through Instagram and I'm so glad I dropped by! The Pandan Latte and Hidden Rolls were incredibly good, the space is so cute, and the service was wonderfully friendly. A bit pricey, but totally worth it for a treat. Highly recommend!

    Rollin' Rolls is a cozy Vietnamese cafe located in Kakaako. It's easy to miss, hidden in Keauhou Lane, across Down to Earth. We stopped by on an early Sunday morning for a quick breakfast of bahn mi and spring rolls. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was hot and fresh. We will definitely be returning to try their hidden crunch rolls!

    Pork with vermicelli

    There's a new place in Kaka'ako for Vietnamese coffee, banh mi, and a variety of tasty rolls! It's a small cafe across the pedestrian walkway from Down to Earth, next to Mad Pie. The decor is a little industrial, but not in a bad way. You can dine in or take out, but it's a small place with only seven tables. It's not really a date place but it's a great stop for lunch. Despite the name, the menu is pretty extensive, with a variety of coffee, drinks, sandwiches, rice, and noodle plates, and several different kinds of rolls (hence the name). The pork and vermicelli plate was wonderful. A generous serving of meat over noodles with a nice salad of pickled vegetables and basil. I really like their hot sauce, too. The special banh mi was also excellent.

    There are so many local Vietnamese spots opening up around the island. Rollin' Rolls is a must visit! 1-hour free parking at Keauhou Lane! No need validation. Use the QR code to register your vehicle. Ambiance lends to a lively hangout with friends or a casual date! Several tables and plenty of seating despite the smaller space. Nice and clean inside. Cute decor. Staff is friendly and honest! Food is competitively priced. Good portions, even for foodies! Ingredients are fresh, everything made by hand with care. Hidden crunch rolls were nice and light. Manapua was filling, the bun was fluffy. Banh mi was delightful. Bread was crispy, fillings were yummy! Drinks are superb! Not too sweet. Balanced and refreshing. Give this place a try! Right by MadPie, close to Down to Earth.

    Nestled behind Down to Earth in Kakaako at the "Keauhou Lane" of small shops sits this little Vietnamese restaurant. Much like the other restaurants along the lane, this place is small. With only about 4 or 5 tiny square tables (most had 2 chairs...i guess you could squeeze 4 on there, but itd be super tight) and a complimentary water station (water looked to be room temp as there was no visible chiller) before you hit the counter to order. Went over my (late as usual) lunch break and was surprised to find it completely packed inside. Thankfully right after I ordered, someone finished up and left so I was able to snag a seat. Ordered the spring roll vermicelli plate ($16.75) that consists of 2(!) chopped up spring rolls on a bed of cold vermicelli noodles along with some lettuce and cucumber(i guess that's the salad?) and some pickled vegetables (carrot and radish if im not mistaken...ya know the usual things that come with spring rolls). The plate comes with a side of fish sauce as well as a small container of chili sauce for dipping...or pouring...or drinking (hey, i don't judge. You do you) The spring rolls were good. Slightly warm, but moreso on the colder side, so i suspect they had been sitting out a while. Still the wrapper was crispy and the fillings were tasty. The vermicelli was...well, cold vermicelli. Kinda hard to screw that up and the vegetables were super fresh and crisp. All in all it was good, just....way overpriced imo for cheap noodles, veggies and literally 2 spring rolls. Honestly think it shouldn't be anymore than $12 for this plate, but what do I know? I just like to eat. I had also ordered a Thai Tea ($6.50). My screw up was waiting until I was done and out of there before taking my first sip (didn't wanna fill myself up on thai tea before eating!). This is the first and only thai tea that ive ever had in my life that i disliked. Wait, not even disliked, downright hated. To start tho, it looked delicious as it was a nice bright orange and had just the right amount of ice to where it didn't feel like i got ripped off paying for a cup of ice and a splash of tea...(i wont name names, but you know who you are). That's it for the good. The taste was....well first of all, it was not anywhere near sweet enough, which is not a huge problem. Don't get me wrong, i still needed it to be sweeter, but this was not the biggest issue. The biggest issue was that the tea itself tasted like someone had lit tea leaved on fire and threw them into my mouth. Unfortunately by the time i had taken my first sip, I had walked too far away to turn back. Will I go back here? Meh. Maybe. I do want to try their bahn mis. But I definitely won't be getting another thai tea here that's for sure.

    My mom and I loved our recent visit to Rollin' Rolls Cafe! We visited on a Sunday, for lunch, and it was a great experience. I called in a phone order and I was surprised the estimated time was only 10 minutes! My food was ready by the time I arrived and I was able to quickly get in and out. We ordered a lemongrass chicken banh mi and a spring roll vermicelli. I really wanted to try the spring rolls because I had heard good things. Both items were so good! My mom and I were admiring the presentation of the food because everything was neatly packaged. Flavor was also spot on--in fact the next day my mom said she wished she could have more spring rolls again lol. We'll definitely be back, just wished they were open during dinner hours too!

As a returning customer placing my second order, I expected a much higher level of professionalism and customer service. As the food the first time was amazing. I was prepared to spend $77 on this order, and the least I expected was the professional courtesy of a phone call to explain the situation and offer an apology, even if the staff was busy or unable to fulfill the order. Simply canceling an order without any communication demonstrates a strong lack of respect for customers and their time. Because of how this was handled, I will not be returning, nor can I recommend this establishment to others. Strong customer service is about communication and accountability, and unfortunately, this experience fell far short of those expectations.

    Okay first thing to say about my experience, location sucks!…read more Located next to other shops it was easy to pass by this small spot. I had to circle around to find the parking. Well there is enough parking in the back parking lot. But there's this security guard there. I asked if he's the parking attendant and he said I'm security. I asked where machetes is and he said that's in the front I only care about the back. So I guess that's his only job to watch the parking lot. And it's located across a homeless camp. So I can see why the need for parking security. Such a turn off! Upon entering machetes I was greeted. The worker asked if I was ready to order and I said just another minute as I wanted to look over the menu for what I wanted since it was my first time. The counter was covered in devices I guess a lot of people order from here. I ordered a turkey and salami sandwich. The worker then asked if I wanted it on the white or brown wheat bread. I chose wheat. While waiting I asked if they make their own bread and they do so I was impressed. The worker asked me, you say you didn't want tomatoes? Then I responded I want everything it supposed to come with. I thought I heard him say a second thing but wasn't sure and I was looking closer to the menu. I didn't realize you can add items to the sandwich for free. The worker then hands me the sandwich wrapped ready to go. I then said oh sorry can you add peppers, cucumbers and Italian vinaigrette. He did not look happy. I apologized saying sorry it was my first time. He said it was cool. Well proceed to pay. And he said have a nice day and I said thanks and left. Sandwich tasted amazing! Big portion! The wheat bread was so soft and light. Refreshing from all the vegetables. And moist from the vinaigrette. Although peppers were missing. Total for just the and sandwich was $13.40. Not a bad sandwich. Just a weird location and weird vibe. Don't forget that there are free addons and a list of them in a tiny section on the bottom of menu. They won't remind you it's there or offer it lol. I'd come back.

And because they usually operate during work day hours, it is best that you just eat half of the sandwich to avoid that afternoon crash. Prices for these sandwiches may be on the higher side but the quality of the food makes up for it. This food truck is definitely worth checking out.

    I checked the app and saw that the next available pickup time was about an hour and a half away, so…read moreI scheduled my order before heading to the gym around 12:30 PM. About 10 minutes before my 2:00 PM pickup time, I received a text letting me know my order was ready, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the IL Parma sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. At $24, it's definitely on the expensive side for a sandwich, but the quality of the ingredients and the freshness made it worth every penny. The flavors were fantastic, and I didn't mind paying the premium price after taking that first bite. Parking can be a little tricky. I'm not sure whether customers are allowed to use the Hana Koa parking lot for quick pickups, but a kind employee allowed me to park there while I ran in to grab my order. There are only a few parking spaces directly in front of Bocconcino, so that's something to keep in mind. There's some tables under a covered area, right next to the store. Many people were seated there talking story and enjoying drinks. Overall, a great experience and an excellent sandwich. I'll definitely be back for another Italian sandwich!

In addition to food they have a small shop stocked with goodies from Italy, which adds to the charm. The pizza crust was fantastic crispy and delicious. My only complaint is that I wish it had more sauce. I'm a saucy gal! The bite that had a good amount of sauce was incredibly flavorful, but the rest of the slice was a bit dry, and I tasted more oil than tomato sauce. It was great dough but the flavor was not there for me. I really want to love this pizza more! The staff was friendly, though it took a little while to get my slice. They reheat each slice to order, and they were busy making other items, so it was understandable. I'll be back to try a panini!

    My husband and I were in the area and decided to try Little G Cafe after seeing all the positive…read moreYelp reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.

    Legit pizza by the slice - excellent cheese slice which is the best way to judge pizza. The crust…read moreis a little less blistered than some places but is solid, great bite, foldable, served on classic NY white paper plates with wavy rim. They have some creative other slices like vodka sauce with pesto etc which are tasty but if you're a pizza purist and lover you can't go wrong with two cheese slices. There aren't much frills so you can have water or soda from their mini fridge. Almost like going to a corner pizza place in the city. Sandwiches available sometimes. We go early for lunch on Sundays and grab a seat outside. The proprietor was especially kind and friendly to my FIL and I appreciated that. Overall this is the second best NY style pizza place after black shamrock by a small margin - the Jersey pie at shamrock with its awesome sauce and perfect crust is hard to beat but don't think you can order it by the slice. So very very close.

    As mentioned by other reviewers, if you're looking for an inexpensive, decent sandwich on Waikiki…read morebeach, look no further. Conveniently located near Duke's, there's one outdoor table nearby, but really, just pick up a sandwich and take it to the beach! Staff was very friendly. Plenty of options for sandwiches and salads (and maybe more options, just what I noticed). I got the tuna sandwich and added a slice of pepper jack. I said no mayo or mustard, though I'd probably recommend mayo. There are so many veggies that it needs a little sauce. The veggies make you feel like you're eating something super healthy! There wasn't a ton of tuna in the sandwich, but half was filling enough for me. I'll save the rest for tomorrow.

    I'm going to start by saying you won't find a sandwich shop in Waikiki like Pai's Deli. Their…read moresandwiches are packed with fresh ingredients and tons of flavor. Skipping this place would be a crime. And prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's a hidden gem, tucked inside the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort just to the right of Duke's. I've been here many times and have ordered both smoothies and sandwiches. Let me tell you, the bread is incredibly soft, the greens are crisp and fresh, and the protein is ALWAYS tasty. The team works hard to craft your sandwich every time, and I always get a warm "thank you" when I pick mine up (I swear I got into a thank-you battle once, and of course, they won). I highly recommend the tuna sandwich. It's seasoned perfectly and generously filled with tuna. The greens are always piled high. Shredded carrots, spinach leaves, and more sprouts than you'd think possible. It's healthy and DELICIOUS. I usually add avocado, and the sandwich with avocado comes out to $13.75, which is a great deal for Waikiki. Oh! and you get a little skewer of two pineapple slices! It's cute, refreshing, and perfectly ripe every time. The last smoothie I ordered was the Avocado Green Island. It's made with mango, avocado, spinach, banana, greek yogurt, and coconut milk. It's creamy, slightly tangy, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. I've also tried their chicken salad sandwich (money!) and my favorite, the Captain Salad. I recommend getting it with Caesar dressing. The brand of ranch they use isn't really my thing. They also have a homemade balsamic vinagarette that sounds amazing. The salad is huge, topped with turkey and generous crumbles of bacon. I'm telling you, they're serving hit after hit after hit at this spot. Go and enjoy ASAP!
