Ba-Le Sandwich Shop

This is the banh mi I grew up eating and happy that it tastes the same as I remembered it. The special sandwich (ham, pate, pork) is always my go-to. You can choose from croissant or French bread. They toast the bread for you. The fillings were fresh and not skimpy. While the flavors didn't stand out in any special way, it's a solid banh mi. Cash only. Takeout only.

In a time of rising prices and smaller portions. This location seems to bucking the trend. My ham sandwich was filled with ample portions of ham and veggies. Good friendly service. Typical ambiance of other Ba Le shops. Enjoy

I haven't been here since years before C pandemic. Same owners. Currently Cash only, take-out only.We really wanted the croissant sandwiches; but they only had the French banh mi bread. So we ordered 2 lemongrass chicken, 1 each pastrami and the "special" (pork, pate, ham). Surprisingly the French bread was fresh and easy to bite through. And the banh mi sandwiches were pretty good tasting. We weren't disappointed at all. I would call in advance to check if they have croissants. If you want Sriracha sauce, you have to ask.

This is my favorite restaurant in Kaneohe. The owners are so friendly and remembers exactly how I like my order prepared. Best Bale in Hawaii and best chicken salad and tofu sandwich! Highly recommend for I go every week and the size is plentiful for 4 meals.

Very good sandwiches and the Tapioca with all flavors is good. Prices are very reasonable. Don't forget this place is Cash only and takeout too. Very nice owners.

Unfortunately, the consistency across various Ba-Le restaurants just isn't there. I'm typically a fan of the banh mi sandwiches at Ba-Le, but sadly not here. The bread didn't taste that fresh and the lemongrass chicken came with a strange orange colored sauce. Service was slow as there were just 2 people trying to do everything. I will continue to go to Ba-Le in Honolulu, but I will skip it when I'm Kaneohe.

This is a small moms & pops spot in Kaneohe. it's situated in a small plaza with parking. We decided to come here to grab some banh mi sandwiches before we head out to the airport. It was perfect that they opened at 10am, it took about 10 mins to get our sandwiches. We got the Special w/ ham, pate, pork & lemon grass chicken. The special was decent but lemon grass chicken was meh. The lemongrass flavor just wasn't there. The sandwiches are decent size where you would be full. I would def come back to support local small business and try their other food. I wish they would accept credit card though, it's CASH only.

the lady owner or worker is rude and is the only reason I don't go there she needs to not be there so they can make money

What the heck happened to this place? This was one of my go to's. Ordered shrimp wrap n springroll vermicelli. Basically it was romaine lettuce, bn sprouts n noodles. What happened to the thai basil, peanuts, hoisin? Then as im getting ready to eat, she tells me takeout only. If i knew beforehand id have go eat elsewhere.

I believe in treating others with the utmost respect. I called in an order which was pretty much a steamed pork sandwich. I told the woman I wanted a CHA LUA sandwich with everything just like the special combo. She did not understand when I said Cha LUA (I assumed they were Vietnamese) so "Steamed Pork" it is! I got there and I just wanted to make sure the order was correct. I asked if there was Pate in it and she said "no you said just the steamed pork". Mind you, my whole interaction with the woman was completely calm. No voices were raised, not even a stink eye... You could already tell she was just super grumpy to begin with. I'm not sure if that's just her natural demeanor and tone but she was simply just rude. I explained, "I mentioned the combo sandwich because I was trying to explain I wanted everything the same except JUST STEAMED PORK no ham/head cheese. Including the pate and all." No biggie - I asked her nicely if she could just add the pate in the sandwich. She said "no, I can't do that anymore." And then asked again if I could just have the pate on the side - I could just do it myself. She said "no, we don't do that". Saw that I had my card out and said, "we accept cash only". I had cash, but I just said OK and walked out.It wouldn't have been such a big deal if she tried to work with me and maybe idk..... Show a little kindness? I didn't argue with her - I just couldn't take the disrespect and didn't think twice. I just walked out. I understand that EVERYONE is going through something. This very much includes me - but if you're going to run a business, please show your customers kindness & respect. I am a business owner myself so I completely understand.
