Super fresh and delightful food from Bella Banh Mi Cafe! I can honestly say that this is the best banh mi I have ever had and I have had a lot of banh mis in my lifetime! I loved the smoked flavor to the meats. They give more insides than bread or wrapper, which is hard to come by these days. They put generous amounts of cucumber, carrots, and Chinese parsley in my sandwich and I enjoyed every last bite! The bread was perfect - flaky with lots of crunch. The summer rolls filled with bbq pork had that great charbroiled taste too and they did not skimp on the meat. The homemade peanut dipping sauce was perfection! This was a delicious and filling lunch! I simply cannot wait to come back!

They make an excellent banh mi. We ordered some for takeout before going out to the beach and destroyed them after a day of swimming. Haven't tried any of their other offerings but would definitely go back for banh mi when we're back in town.

If you are looking for the perfect Banh Mi sandwich, hold the presses. Bella Banh Mi has almost reached perfection with their Saigon Banh Mi sandwich. A solid 4.5 sandwich that rounds to 5 stars so get your Banh Mi fix here.My wife wanted to take a break from having plate lunches and had heard about Bella Banh Mi. She loves Banh Mi sandwiches so on one of our outings we made a slight detour to grab a sandwich for her of which of course I had to take a bite.The bread has a crunch to the outside of the bread and nice chewy inside. The outside was just a little crunchier than what we normally get but still very good bread overall. The veggies are fresh, adds nice crunch, meat is tasty and all of the ingredients together creates an overall great flavorful sandwich.There are a few parking spots behind the building. Usually they have enough sandwiches made so you can run in and out quickly. There is metered street parking close the trestaurant. The parking spots behind the restaurant turn over quickly.We are happy to find this gem of a restaurant for a light tasty and quick meal.

The vegetarian banh mi is so ono. The tofu is delicately seasoned/marinated, the pickled vegetables crisp and fresh, a good amount of heat to the jalapeños, and the bun is freshly baked with the perfect bite. Nice ratio of filling to bread, too. Like others have said, there is parking behind the shop (yay!) and no seating. But that’s okay, because it travels well to a picnic in the park.

Friendly service and yummy food! $9 for 2 summer rolls is pretty reasonable price. And the Shrimp roll fill with 2 pieces of shrimp, 1 piece of meat, rice noodle and all different kind of leaves. Refreshing and just need little sauce for the whole roll. Although I think their sauce little too sweet, probably too much sugar added to it. Those rolls really fill you up so is good lunch option. Parking can be difficult but you can do phone order so can grab and go. Also they open on Sunday! Not many shops open on Sunday around that area. Now I want to try their tofu summer roll too!

Nice small little place to buy banh mi sandwiches. Although the menu is limited the sandwiches are filled with lots of flavor. Sandwiches are only $10 the owner is nice and friendly i recommend this place for a fast pick me up kind of lunch

Most delicious banh mi đặc biệt on Oahu! I also really enjoy their vegetarian banh mi & tasty summer rolls (both the shrimp/pork & the veggie). BBQ pork & bbq chicken was a bit too charred and Smokey-flavored, for my liking. I'm guessing they bake their own banh mi baguettes because it's some of the best on island- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I've got to try their beverages next time. Parking can be a bit sparse and line can be kind of long, around lunchtime. Probably not a bad idea to order ahead. Friendly and fairly fast service! Wish they could stay open later.

I’ve been going here for awhile. Customer service is awesome. The Banh Mi is good(BBQ pork). The coffee is so good this the only place I get it from. I also get the Café Du Monde to make my own at home. I haven’t tried the other things but I know I will.7/3/2023
