Ba-Le Sandwich Shop — Restaurant in Oʻahu

Maybe it was a bad day but we were disappointed with the food at this Ba-Le. This is the first time we are trying this location but we have eaten at a few other Ba-Le locations. We ordered a lemon grass chicken sandwich, shrimp rolls, and lemon grass chicken and short rib plate.

The lemon grass chicken's sauce was unique when it comes to lemon grass chicken... but not in a good way. The chicken portions were generous and the chicken pieces were large.

The shrimp rolls were disappointing. The bean sprouts overpowered everything else. It was not balanced in flavor and was not enjoyable. The sauce was thick and didn't enhance the rolls the way it usually does.

The short rib was very good in flavor. The meat was cut thicker than other places which I really liked.

We will try this location again and update this review is we have a better experience...

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...

Ba-Le sandwich shops never fails to satisfy. I’ve been going here for over 25 years in Kaneohe. Owners Tiffany and Kevin always greet me with the warmth of an old friend. The menu is huge and everything is cooked to order. I just had the Pad Thai. It was amazing. So big I couldn’t finish it. So two meals for one price. My go to quick fix is always the bbq chicken on croissant with extra cilantro. Take out and cash only remember. But...
