    SG Special with Vietnamese Iced Coffee
    Sam K.

    Ordered their SG Special with Vietnamese Iced Coffee. One of the best Banh Mi's we've had. Toasted French bread with a lot of meat and veggies, Vietnamese iced coffee was very strong and good. Friendly service. Will definitely be back to try more of their other Banh Mi's.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Tried the new beef banh mi, and it's so good! The beef is tender, juicy, and packed with savory flavor and a delicious smoky note.

    This is my favorite place! Never been disappointed! Consistent every time. Love the bread! The auntie works there is so nice. A few tables inside and outside. 1 thing I had concerns was when I went a few weeks ago, since it was summer break, the worker / owner's kids were running around and riding scooters in the shop and hallways. Almost hitting some older people. I hope this would not happen 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.

    Love this place. Opens early. Their Vietnamese coffee is one of the best, especially with the salted sea foam. Highly recommend.

    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.

    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

    Lemongrass Chicken
    Lauren K.

    I love their sandwiches!! But I don't like their location .. otherwise I would be going back more often ... Let me just say ... this has to be one of the best banh mi sandwiches I've ever eaten ... I ordered the Tofu / Mushroom and it was so delicious! The bread had a lot to do with it because it was so crispy .. light and so fresh. . I think the bread is important .. It makes a big difference if the bread is good or not . My friend ordered the Lemongrass chicken and she also enjoyed it. We had to wait a while for our order as they got busier while we were there. Lot of people were doing take outs. It's a very small place on the third floor but there are a couple of tables on the inside and outside .. you can sit down comfortably and eat . They also have drinks such as Iced Tea or Iced Vietnamese Coffee which goes perfect with your sandwich. I will continue to come here to eat their sandwiches .. as long as they continue to make the crispy.. light fresh bread .

    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!

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!

    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.…

I heard they will keep this space for special events. The restaurant is quite busy and I'm glad we had reservations. Good thing I was there prior to lunch hour opening, otherwise we may lose our reservations since the person who made reservations tends to be habitual in arriving late. We dined in May, but it's been awhile since I first dined here. I preferred dining in Chinatown during lunch time than at dinner. Our waiter was really nice and helpful. I forgot his name, but I remembered that his eyeglasses that he wore was cool/funny, since the frames for each eye didn't match the other eye! lol. Funny it wasn't me who first noticed it. One was square frame and the other was a round frame! The restaurant doesn't do anything special for birthdays except may write Happy Birthday in chocolate on the dessert plate that you purchase for the birthday person. Their desserts are unique and refreshing. I think there are some rotating desserts /flavors like their seasonal menu for their main menu. I guess you can always keep coming back without being bored of the menu! I was bummed to see a previous dish posted of a pasta that I wanted to try that wasn't on the current spring seasonal menu! When we dined for brunch over the weekend, I was able to get the Hainan chicken with the crispy roast pork combo. It was very filling , tasty and satisfying. I do love ginger sauce on the cold ginger chicken but sometimes the chicken is just okay. This Hainan chicken was really good and the chicken was really moist! I thought it was the best I've tried! It was good that I wanted to takeout one last time in August before they moved! No more the 50/50 combo with the crispy roast pork on the lunch menu during the weekday. It was on the spring menu. Of course it's best to eat it in the restaurant than for take out. Bathroom is a must for me when dining out and they had only one shared bathroom for everyone! There was a guy who tried to make several attempts but wasn't successful, since there was always someone in the restroom. I'm glad the waiter told me there was a bigger separate bathroom with several stalls for men and ladies upstairs. You go straight through the kitchen to catch the elevator and to another kitchen /storage area! Thank Goodness! Best wishes at your new location. You offer yummy and tasty food!

While the servers were nice, we did order ahead of time and showed up when the Beluga app (where we ordered off of) told us to show up, but I ended up waiting 15 minutes at the restaurant later than I was supposed to get my food. Additionally, the staff seemed to forget I was sitting/waiting for my food. My suspicion is that the online ordering service isn't actively monitored and our order wasn't started until I actually showed up to the restaurant to pick up our food at the designated time. The food was okay for us. I'm a big Banh Mi fan and was looking forward to eating their Combination Banh Mi, but unfortunately the Banh Mi seemed a little rushed in preparation and lacked flavor. My husband on the other hand, ordered their Combination Pho and it absolutely did not disappoint. Although their Banh Mi was not as delicious and flavorful as I expected, their Pho was the exact opposite of that. They give you a generous amount of broth and their portions of greens was beyond enough (maybe a little bit too much for one serving). The last food item to talk about are their Spring Rolls. It wasn't anything too special compared to your usual Spring Rolls, but I will say that their dipping sauce and everything else that comes with it (rice noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots) made it so that you could easily make it a meal vice an appetizer. If you're looking for a cozy place to have dinner, their space was a bit crowded but if you're okay with then this place is good. Just be warned that their prices are a little bit on the higher side in my opinion and be prepared for long wait times to receive your order.
