I got the Vince's special sandwich (spicy) and it was a bomb. My husband liked the tofu rolls. We also tried matcha latte and lychee ice tea. Definitely coming back read more

I am so happy to find banh mi in Kahala again. I've been missing the old BaLe takeout at the mall. Vince's Cafe is the perfect addition. They are open at 8am. It's just a tiny hole in the wall with no seating inside but with a couple tables outside, located next to the CorePower Yoga. The menu is simple, either banh mi, noodle bowls, or summer rolls. I tried the Vince's special banh mi ($13.45) and shrimp and pork roll ($6.95). The sandwich was very good because they use Thai chilies, not jalapeños. Plus, I like the curls of green onions alongside the cilantro. It was a nice touch. However, I felt the bread fell short. It could've been warmer and crunchier. The summer roll is the winner having both shrimp and pork. Plus, the peanut sauce was delicious and the perfect accompaniment! I also like that there is an all veggie option in each menu group. read more

A tasty banh mi. Made fresh when you order. Toasted rolls make such a huge difference. We got a Vince's Special for $13.45. The paté was delicious and all of the filling was fresh. It seemed a bit underseasoned though. We also got the roasted pork for $14.50. Again, there was something missing in seasoning. It was actual pieces of roast pork (like Chinatown style) and looked so good! It just needed a touch of salt. She did ask me if I wanted spicy or not. I'm thinking I should have said spicy so maybe the full flavors would have been realized. Tiny spot on the backside of the mall. Super clean and the air conditioner works well. Two ladies working the counter. One handles making the orders, the other greets and handles the register. She was so nice. She even called back a customer that hung up before she answered because she was busy with me. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood! Lots of free parking as this is conveniently located in Kahala Mall. You can see their store front as you drive in from the theater side of the mall. Standing room only to place your order, they have two tables outside of their front door to sit and wait or eat. We came on a Saturday morning and there was a line for lunch. Three employees behind the counter, so things moved reasonably quick. Starting with the Vietnamese salted coffee, this was refreshing but it had quite a bit of ice. We sipped this to the bottom of the cup in no time. Next, we split a roast pork bahn mi. This tasted okay but the bread could have been crisper. Wasn't expecting green onion inside the sandwich but it worked. We also split a tofu vermicelli bowl. Generous portion of noodles and seasoned tofu. Be sure to mix thoroughly as the lettuce is under the noodles. This was a tasty amd healthy option. We will return to try other menu items. Fast and friendly service. Thank you for having this available and best wishes. read more

Went on a Wednesday to try their signature bahnmi. Service was good but bahnmi was lacking compared to another local shop. I didn't expect raw green onions in the sandwich and a few skinny sprigs of parsley. Bread was alittle chewy, amount of filling was okay, something in there was a little salty but the pate was liquidy. Iced Vietnamese milk coffee was strong but could have filled the cup more, about half of the cup was ice. read more

When you first come in, Vince (I assume) was very friendly and welcoming! The menu is clean, straight-forward, and not too long (which I prefer). I tried their house special banh mi and their matcha taro. Their banh mi was delicious and I've discovered I love Thai chili peppers over jalapenos in the sandwich! I would've preferred a little more veggies in my banh mi, but I don't think this affects my opinion of how much I liked the sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised by matcha taro! The matcha they used had a subtle floral note which balanced out the bitterness of the matcha, while keeping the flavor. The taro was a little sweet which made the overall balance of the drink perfect! However- if you don't like chewing your drinks I would skip the taro :-) I can't wait to try more items! Edit: P.S they also added this cute little pineapple mint that was very tasty! read more

Takeout lunch from Kahala Mall, Honolulu, Hawai'i... My friend asked me where I wanted to eat and I replied: Vince's Cafe. Located on the backside of the mall, it's next to CorePower Yoga, across the free, covered parking lot from the Goodwill Donation site. It used to be Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar. Outside, there's a helpful sidewalk sign. The inside is cozy and efficient. The workers are very cheerful and helpful! I ordered a peach iced tea which was a bit sweet at first. I let the ice melt - then it wasn't that sweet! There were small, round, clear coconut (?) gel at the bottom of the cup... fun and chewy! I also got a tofu banh mi - it was delicious! I liked the pickled veggies and soft bread with slightly toasted crust. We ate inside of the air conditioned, clean, bright, carpeted mall. Since I was there, I took home a roasted pork vermicelli bowl and shrimp and pork summer rolls. The roasted pork had crispy skin and the summer rolls were individually wrapped! Very good! I'll be back! read more

Decided to try this fairly new Cafe located outside Kahala Mall next door to Core power yoga . Vince's Cafe took over Uncle Sharkii Poke spot. Friendly service although look at my pic on the Vietnamese iced coffee. They didn't fill the coffee to the top it was mostly ice. Of course it's not crushed ice so the cube ice takes more space . The BBQ chicken Bahn Mi had no taste but the Char Siu pork was not bad . Prices are on the little high side . Also I like my French bread toasted a little Vince's Cafe don't unless they forgot ? Best of luck to them but I probably will not return . Support local when possible read more

Vince's has friendly, efficient staff and the food was good. Pricing is par for the course in Kahala. Vince's is take out only and is tiny so if you see people in the shop, you may chose to hover near the door instead of going inside as it gets too cozy (for me) with more than three customers. The menu was clear, a good amount of choices and everyone enjoyed their sandwiches. After losing Hawaii Kai Ba-Le, I was very happy to see Vince's open! Food was very fresh and tasty. Reminded me more of the banh mi I got while living in California. read more

One of the most delicious banh mi I had in a while. The pork was juicy with a satisfying crunch, cooked perfectly. I loved the added spice too, made the sandwich much more flavorful and punchy. They definitely weren't skimping on toppings either it was filled to the brim, so you'll definitely get your money's worth. read more

This place is such a gem in the Kahala shopping center, just what this place needed some FLAVOR! Quick efficient and friendly service at this tiny location but they pump out major volume of bahn mi's. Ideal size menu consists of sandwiches and vermicelli noodles also you gotta try out their drink menu recommend are the Vietnamese iced coffee and the lychee iced tea. Pictured below is the roasted pork bahn mi and summer rolls, I know it's wrapped but this is my 3rd visit and I remembered to take a pic before I dogged it down. read more

It's like my prayers have been answered, a banh mi place near me that opens early. I got the Vince's special and coconut coffee. Both were delicious. I love the bread that they use, it doesn't dissolve in your mouth like another popular banh mi place. It is chewy and holds up to the delicious fillings. The only thing that could make the place better is larger coffee size and that they open earlier. I can't wait to come back, I have to restrain myself from going back in and ordering more food. read more

I stopped by here for lunch and was not disappointed. Service is excellent and very friendly. I ordered the roasted pork banh mi and some summer rolls.

I also ordered the milk coffee, it was sweet and strong. I will definitely be coming back :) read more

Decided to tried this new place today since I saw many people reviews about it on Instagram so I decided to give it a try. I'm a banh mi lover and I'm picky about it, but I would say this place has the best roasted pork banh mi. Good drinks too. I will comeback for more. Can't wait to try their coffee. read more

Not good. Bahn mi had too much weird mayo and huge stems of cilantro. Roasted pork was all fat. The chicken in my chicken bun tasted old and gamey. Did not like the food. The boba ice teas were good. read more

The special banh mi was great. Their baguettes are kept slightly warmed which was quite nice. The special I think had a pate spread, pork belly, steamed pork along with the standard banh mi veg. The red chilies they use if you get it spicy are great, I wish they added more. Cash discount read more

The Vietnamese coffee was yummy but was mostly ice and was not filled to the top. We also tried the BBQ chicken and roasted pork bahn mi, which were tasty. read more

I bought 2 Banh Mi BBQ Chicken sandwiches. The chicken was salty. Very little vegetables in sandwiches. And sandwich was dry. I had great expectations for this new restaurant. I hope they improve. read more

We ordered the special Bahn Mi with pate which was excellent. Also had the pork Bahn Mi which was a little fatty, but I guess people like that. Also tried the summer rolls, which I would definitely SKIP next time. It didn't taste fresh and they were wrapped on saran wrap which I felt made them soggy. But definitely worth trying and support local! read more

Friendly service from this family owned business! I was greeted politely when I walked in and a man explained menu items for me. Food came out in 5-10 minutes with 1 person in line before me. Combination Sandwich - Delicious, the bread was the right amount of crunchy & soft. The mayonnaise & pate is very flavorful. The employee mentioned they make their pate and mayo in house! They include a chopped bird's eye chili in the sandwich if you ask for it spicy. Matcha Taro - They make their own taro paste at the bottom and it's finely ground & sweetened. The matcha is on the grassy, milky side which is offset by the sweet taro paste. I like taro so this was a treat, not too sweet overall. Brown Sugar Latte with Grass Jelly - My mom ordered this drink & liked it. The grass jelly is also made in house and has a good texture, I shared with her. Not very sweet so expect a stronger milk coffee flavor and not a super sweet brown sugar profile. Overall we would be back for sandwiches and other beverages! Coconut matcha sounds refreshing. read more

Bread was stale, filling was a couple pieces of pickled veggies, green onion and Chinese parsley. I would not recommend. read more

7/2026. Kahala Mall. Bread dry, old and tasteless/stale. Not enough vegetables. Ordered the Special. Could improve greatly. Caution.

No Vietnamese food since Bale closed by Kahala Mall so it was good that Vince's Cafe opened up where Sharkii's closed. Opens early 8 am and I had summer rolls. read more
