No Name BBQ Sandwich

No Name slaps when it comes to Bahn Mi! This is a great place to order a few sandwiches and take them to the beach. The pork and chicken are my favorite, but regardless they are all great. Price is fair, the sauces and flavors are awesome, and this is a just an overall great hole in the wall to check out.

Wife was craving for a bamh mi sandwich. After numerous searchs on Yelp we decided to try No Name BBQ Sandwich. located in a old building just up from Ace Hardware in Kaimuki. Since this shop had mixed reviewsI said lets try them. Well, to start service was friendly. Waiting for two sandwiches was like wating for molassesto come out of a bottle. My BBQ pork sandwich had a good amount of pork, which was tasty. For me it had way to much cilantro and onions. One side of the sandwich was full of onions and the other side full of cucumber. Not evenly distributed. Enjoy

Used to come here all the time for Banh mi cravings. Haven't been back in probably over 6 months. Called in my order since I remember it usually takes longer to prepare. Estimated 20 minutes and was ready when I arrived. We decided to eat there since we were starving! We got our usual favorite - the Vietnamese Banh Mi which is now $11.99. I remember it tasting much more flavorful before, but this time it was a little blander. Maybe they changed the pate recipe? I hope they change it back to the OG Recipe...The Banh mi was packed with veggies which I loved. Crispy exterior without cutting your mouth. Owners are always nice and courteous to us. Con is parking is limited and no AC inside so best to do takeout. Nice to still support local family businesses like this one!

I wanted to try a new banh mi place and since I go to the Curb often I noticed No Name BBQ Sandwich. I wanted to try a special so I think the closest thing that they had to it was the Vietnamese Sandwich and to rate it on a scale of 5 I give it a 3.5. It's a little salty for me and I wish you could taste the pate. They are also lacking with the pickled vegetables which would have helped with the saltiness. Overall, The banh mi was okay. I don't think I'll get it again but I noticed that people order their BBQ Beef Banh Mi (#1) so maybe I have to come back and try that.

After Yelp ranked No Name BBQ sandwich shop as the best sandwich shop in Hawaii, I can't wait to try it. First time walking in here, I was surprised that the store was empty, but it seemed like they get more phone orders, which I would highly recommend ordering ahead on the phone rather than coming into the store to order because the wait time is long. We ordered 3 sandwiches: the Vietnamese Sandwich, the BBQ pork and the Sunshine. They were all very good, the bread was soft and flaky, the ingredients were fresh. The BBQ pork had that pleasant fire Charcoal smell and taste. And the Vietnamese sandwich had a strong and creamy taste of pate that marks authenticity. The Sunshine Sandwich with egg and bacon is more of a morning breakfast sandwich. Even the spicy red sauce they gave us was uniquely spicy without toning anything down. It hit the spot. Unfortunately, the wait time from ordering in store to getting the food was a long 25 minutes for 3 sandwiches, and I can see that the 3 people were working hard but inefficiently, stepping over each other. It seemed like this is a family business that could definitely use better management system. Also they were not particularly big on customer service, getting more agitated with more customers walking in, not fluent in the English language could have caused more stress, and their mannerism felt rough. No smiles. Therefore I would definitely order ahead instead of ordering and waiting in the store to reduce face to face interaction and wait time. There are several street parking spots in front of the store that makes grab and go easy. I also wish they used wax paper instead of foil to wrap the sandwich, because cutting through the foil wrapped sandwich to share with family and friends left little pieces of foil in the sandwich, that is not good to eat, which would not happen with wax paper.

5/5 Stars! Great quality and fast service. I've been on the hunt for a good Banh Mi place and found one!! Sandwiches are made to order and inside seating is available! The mix of vegetables and meat was perfectly balanced!

Always passed by but never had the opportunity to actually try them out until today!Banh Mi was amazing and fresh. You can tell this is a labor of love with how much effort they put into their product. Everything tasted fresh, veggies were seasoned, their bread is not hard so it doesn't end up cutting your mouth when you eat it, and each bite was so satisfying. The Vietnamese sandwich I got was a hit, and my friend's Pork one was delicious as well. Also note, they give you an option for hot sauce on the side. I LOVE spicy food and let me tell you that whatever they put in that sauce was killer. I LOVED it. If I could go back and just ask for extras I would totally go for it. It made my sandwich that much better because I love spicy.Interior was clean and vibey. Service was quick and the family running the place was very endearing. Will definitely be back!

I read the reviews of fellow "Yelpers", but the one that stood out in my mind was the review that said the bread is soft and won't cut the roof of your mouth! THIS! I was sold! I haven't had a Banh Mi in so long because every time I bite into one, I cut the roof of my mouth with the stale bread!Parked at the meter street parking. Placed the order and it was ready in about 10 minutes. The bread was crispy and soft! Everything tasted amazing.One of the employees came by after to ask how everything went. It was a great vibe all around. I will definitely come back!

There wear tables to sit and eat. Their menu has a good selection of bahn mi sandwiches. 2 employees were preparing in kitchen who could be husband and wife. My order was bbq beef. Vegetables were cooked unlike other sandwiches which had crunchy vegetables. There small chunks of beef that were soft and had good flavor. On my next visit, I would like to their coffee.

After reading many yelpers posting this place we decided to try the bahn mi sandwiches. Of course being located on the main street of Waialae Ave my husband dropped me off and parked next door staying in the car of course.Walked in looked at the menu I ordered their BBQ beef bahn mi sandwich and my husband wanted the BBQ pork Bahn mi sandwich. Be expecting to wait for your sandwiches they make everything fresh and even though they have 2 people making them i think they're slow. The cashier told me wait 10 mins but I think it was more than 10 mins. They take phone orders also still have to wait. I was surprised to see so much cilantro and sweet onions. Very little daikon carrot and cucumber slices. On one side might of had cucumbers. The meat was on the sweet side and taste I'm not familiar of. The bread I liked. Next time I'll ask no cilantro and no onions. My husband said had good taste on the pork. Too much cilantro he said and onions. Thank you to the yelpers Peter Y, Nadine C, Fran C, Daniel C for yelping this place. Plus thank you others yelpers who yelp this place also.
