The fact that they have online ordering AND tells you when your food is ready will always get a 5 star from me. But this review is for the BBQ Pork Bahn Mi, I can't say I was the biggest fan. The pork was a bit dry and the butt of the bread was really hard, but the rest of the bread was soft. The pickled veggies were good. read more

Diem 99 Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First time At Diem 99 Cafe since they moved from 99 Ranch in Mapunapuna. My wife had the spring rolls and let me have one. Both of us thought it was very good. I ordered the BBQ Pork Bahm mi sandwich. Just delicious . It was loaded with pickled vegetables and BBQ Pork. Enjoy read more

I wanted to eat spring rolls for lunch so after we got an estimate for my car we stopped by to pick up my spring rolls and a bahn mi sandwich for my husband. He had the BBQ pork bahn mi sandwich no cilantro and he said was good. The bread was soft and a little chewy but not hard like other places that make the sandwiches. A little pricey but worth it. I would buy them again the spring rolls. read more

Comforting lunch... After much errands and adulting my day started quite early as I set to get things done before the year ends and recycling was no different with C M Recycling at Sand Island was a must stop as well and feeling good I glanced across and wit today being so rainy and gloomy what better than some pho and knowing that Diem 99 Cafe was here right across the street and see that they did have some parking right in front made it an easy choice without going out of my way. With an inclusive price of $13.35 that's a deal that my recycling alone could easily afford and loved how nice and clean it was inside along with lots of tables for me to enjoy my pho which was veggie and though they did have veggie broth as well I opted for the beef broth. What I do love is that they do serve it on a bowl versus eating out of a take out container but says that any leftovers are gladly packed to go for me was a very nice gesture what I did like is I didn't receive the garden of sides that I personally barely used and just hate to waste but veggies included broccoli, carrots and Napa cabbage toooed with white and green onions with crispy fried onins. The broth was just comforting and gave me the much needed energy, staff is so friendly fast and efficient as the daughter runs the front and dad working in the kitchen with the phone constantly ringing for takeout orders I can see why as it's such a wonderful family owned and run local biz. Thank you! read more

Vietnamese food stall at the Pearlridge food court. To us it was a better option compared to other fast food places there. And the menu looked exciting too. What caught our eyes was the stuffed tofu combo. And come with 2 summer rolls? Less than $16? Sure let's give it a try! So the noodles and the salad were ok. The stuffed tofu were cold which was not what we expected and were not that tasty neither. The shrimps in the summer tolls just didn't taste like shrimps. They had a weird texture. I thought I was eating imitation crab sticks. Maybe next time I will try something that's more foolproof, like pho. read more

"The time of the month" lead me here .. and HOLY COWWWW ! I was in heaven! I was really craving spring rolls specifically the crunchy ones not the summer rolls with shrimp and it lead me here to Diem 99 Cafe! I always heard great things about their "Super Roll" which is basically a little spring roll wrapped like a summer roll type of filling with the rice paper wrapper and lettuce .. basically like a sushi roll almost is how they do it ..the whole shabang! No one else does these specialty rolls as far as I'm aware. It comes with fish sauce and sweet and sour sauce. I think it's perfect because the despite the rice paper , lettuce and other filling , the spring roll remains in tact and it doesn't fall apart altogether and it tastes delicious and crispy/crunchy! I love that it comes in a dozen in a container and the price is well worth it for the quantity. I can't really speak much on service or ambiance since I had it delivered BUT This is definitely the type of snack or meal you should eat within the day BUT if you end up with leftovers , and happen to have an air fryer like me, it'll taste just as fresh the next day! I would definitely order these again and visit the actual shop in the future. read more

Diem 99 Cafe - BBQ Pork Banh Mi, no cilantro, no cucumber. Fabulous! - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I actually thought I was going into Penny's. I was so hungry, I didn't even look at the sign! Friendly hello, as I looked over the menu. Me: So much to choose from, I can't decide. What do you recommend? She: The lemon grass chicken combo is popular. Me: Then that's what I'll have. There's a small cozy dining room, and I ate it there. They have a number of soft drinks to choose from. She brought out my meal and handed me an orange pineapple Hawaiian Sun. There were three sauces: fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sweet chili pepper. I poured the fish sauce over the vermicelli, shrimp and vegetables. The chicken was delicious! Just the right hint of lemon grass and tender. Everything worked well together, and I dipped my egg roll into the sweet chili. This was probably the healthiest meal I've had all week, especially the vegetables. I also liked the basil leaves with the salad. Definitely worth coming to! This was a happy and delicious mistake! Mahalo Diem! read more

99 Diem Cafe used to be locate in the Ranch/ Moanalua 99. They now have two locations! The Sand Island location is in the former spot of Sand Island Chop Suey next to Subway and another location at Pearlridge Shopping Center. I've tried their sandwiches and oxtail soup at the precious location, but It wasn't until after I've tried the super roll at this location, I fell in love with the rolls and kept ordering it! They have a lot variety of selection on the menu but I really like their Super rolls! The chicken spring roll was in the summer roll all sliced like a maki sushi. The wrapper was so soft and even if the spring rolls were fried, it felt like I'm eating something healthy wrapped around with vermicelli noodles, possibly basil and rice wrapper on the outside! So yummy with the fish sauce or hot sauce for some. I could eat all twelve super rolls! I managed to save some for Mom. No other restaurants seemed to have this special so when I have the chance, I would stop by to get some!!! It' was something different and so good! I wanted to try other items on the menu but I keep getting the Super rolls!! Try it, I know you will like it too! read more

Great Vietnamese foods at a reasonable price. The owner(s) were very hospitable. We had a large order to go, and the packaging was so meticulous. Highly recommend. read more

You must try the CHICKEN CURRY!!! Definitely TOP 3 for my palette!!! Other items on the menu are MID.

Located at Sand island just off the Mauka bound at the Diamond head side of Sand Island access road, here is this little shop with a few tables inside, I want a Vietnamese sandwich and I call to placed my order, friendly staff, sandwich ready I just 5 to 10 minutes. The sandwich is well packaged and they accept credit card payment even for just a sandwich. There are a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the area but lot of them do not offer sandwiches any more. There is not much parking in front of the restaurant so you may have to wait for the parking. read more

Love how this place is close to work! I went to their new Sand Island location. They used to be in the 99 Ranch building.

Trying a new food place, Diem 99 Cafe--Pearlridge Food Court Phase II. Whammoo! --for sure a return visit is warranted! I tried s Bahn Mi Barbecued Chicken sandwich. Deliciously different from other chicken sandwiches I've tried. You're digitally signaled when your order is ready for pickup. Phase II food court, brightly lit, offer a variety of good options. Lots of booths for comfortable visiting, setups for large group or counter seating. This place was busy! I can't wait to return to try other menu items! read more

Diem 99 Cafe - Bahn Mi BBQ Chicken Sandwich (1/2 gobbled up already) - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been coming here since they were in the old 99 Ranch. I believe the Super Roll is new to their menu because I don't remember them having this at their old location. It's basically a spring roll wrapped in a summer roll. Genius! I highly recommend it if you're a fan of spring rolls. I also recommend their lemon grass Banh Mi. Delicious. The service is always good each time as well. I don't care much for the new location, but I imagine it's a great spot for business, especially with all the big truckers going back and forth in the area. read more

Located next to the Subway on Sand Islnd Access Road. Parking can get tricky at times especially during the lunch hours. If you're not lucky you get a big truck parked right in front d your parked car and you end up waiting till they come back and move. Otherwise, I believe this is the same Diem Cafe from 99 Ranch. The restaurant is clean and has a nice lit atmosphere. Also they have indoor dining so that's a plus if you wanna eat in. Their menu is quite extensive. Prices are reasonable. Plates are portioned well and you do get full! I'm glad theirs a Bahn Mi joint close to work now. read more

NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR THEIR NEW LOCATION AT PEARLRIDGE WAI MAKAI FOODCOURT. (Can't pull it up on Yelp as a separate location.) Have been eyeing the space with the sign saying "coming soon" between Yummy's and Sbarro for weeks. Finally! We visited Friday afternoon 8/4 and they were open! They have a pager to let you know when your food is ready. We ordered take out even though we were eating there just in case we wanted to take some food home. Turns out we ate it all. Daughter had the spring rolls on vermicelli cold noodles. They sliced the spring rolls thinly and she liked that. I had the beef and beef ball pho meal, which comes with two spring rolls. Everything tasted good. Not outstanding, but good basic Vietnamese food. Pho broth was good and nice and hot. Pho noodles and some cooked bean sprouts were in a separate container from the broth. Basil (two types - see picture) and more raw bean sprouts were in a plastic bag, along with a slice of lime. Noodles were properly al dente so they wouldn't disintegrate when added to the hot broth. No idea why they gave both cooked bean sprouts and raw, but that wasn't a problem. They gave plenty of noodles but not enough basil. (Next time I'll just ask for more in lieu of all that bean sprouts.). They didn't give enough sauce. It was as if they gave for only one entree, but we asked for and got more plum sauce. They also give chili oil. No jalapeños for those that care. Overall. a good meal. Very filling. Nice to have Vietnamese food at Pearlridge again, it's been a really long time. Would return here again. read more

Mom raved about this place after having a positive experience with friends and urged me to give it a try. I'm glad that I did! The service was friendly and fast. You can get all sorts of comfort food in the Pearlridge Food Court from Diem 99. Just be sure to get a big stack of napkins. Most of the food is fried and best not to keep it in the bottom of your bag. Don't even think about smuggling this food into the theater next door. The oil will drip and blow your cover. read more

I went back and picked up the taro tapioca and I can't believe it's packed with taro! More than double of other places! Highly recommended!

A small quaint place to pick up takeout. There are a few tables & chairs if you'd prefer to dine in. We've enjoyed their good, warmed, juicy Bahn mi sandwiches before when they were located at Ranch 99 in Moanalua. Now they are located on Sand Island Access Road, there's a few parking stalls in front of its entrance. The Bahn mi sandwiches (BBQ pork & BBQ chicken) still super good. We also enjoyed the Spring Rolls, BBQ pork plate and the vegetarian combo plate and their taro tapioca and banana tapioca puddings and a iced coffee! They also have party platters available for orders ... will plan to do that! read more

I was offered a sample of a onolicious special Crunchy Shrimp Tempura Roll, an exclusive to Diem 99. It is not on the menu yet but ask for it and she will make spesho for you. It comes with a wonderful sweet spicy dip. The perfectly battered crispy shrimp is nestled in a lettuce wrap and rolled in delicate rice paper like the ones used for Summer Rolls. Broke Da Mout! So sorry I ate it all before remembering to take a picture. read more
