10 Best Delis near Aiea

“Take out only. The have a vast variety of manapua, both steamed and baked. Staff is very friendly, efficient and puts a smile on my face. Makes a great impression when you are walking into a meeting, gathering, etc cause although everyone loves manapua, pork hash, half moon, rice cake, etc. Most people never think about this option which is far superior to donuts or other pastries.“

“Some of the most delicious pastries and best cuts of meat on the island. One of our go-to spots for getting fun breakfast and planning a scrumptious dinner. Harley and Jason are awesome and this place is an absolute gem!“

“Bouillabaisse is a fun interactive dish with seasonings on the side to enhance the experience. Unfortunately the broth was tepid in temperature today and the shrimps undercooked. Service was lacking today as entrees were brought out before appetizer dishes were cleared. The usual attention to detail was lacking as chopstick and straw papers were not removed from the table and no crumbing was done. A birthday was noted but server did not know and had to take back pancakes to add a candle. We asked to reserve a tiramisu immediately upon being seated as the last time you were out. Same today. The last one had been served, We have ordered the assorted bread before and were served your homemade jam. Not today and breads were underwhelming for the price. The large square? Was dry and for the price, the mini chocolate croissant is cute but too small for sharing. Empty matcha latte glasses were not removed and the server did not ask whether we wanted anything else to drink. We have had better service on previous visits. Overall, the brunch is still a good experience. And we would still recommend. Excellent touch to call us to let us know that our 11:30 reservation would be delayed by 10 minutes. Kudos!“

“Their bento is really good on the go and the food is fresh and great. Luv it!“

“Good food and good service 🤩🤩👍👌“

“Try their fried rice!!! Very peppery and flavorful... it's a little oily but soooo good LOL

***update: NVM I just ordered the fried rice and it came in a smaller container and didn't taste the same at all.. must be a new owner or cook.. so disappointed, we drove 20 min for this 😩“

“This shop has been here for decades. You will always find wonderful things to eat. Take out and cash only. I recommend their spring and summer rolls. Tasty and filling. They have the usual Ba-Le menu and have added several Chinese dish selections which are also delicious. Not sure if they still do it, but in the past, they grew all their own Basil, mint and green onions. A very dedicated couple of owners who have weathered the pandemic and continue to provide that old familiar taste and service that we have come to know.“

“I do not know what’s up with all the bad reviews. This place is a hidden gem. Let me first start by saying the kitchen is on point. Food comes out fresh and hot, wait staff is very friendly. Had no issues with the food, and honestly will eat here again. Marty our server was amazing and kind lady. She made sure everything was on point and up to our standards. Is it worth eating at yes is the prices fair yes.“
