The 38 Best Restaurants in Honolulu, Hawai‘i | Eater

"You’ll find Honolulu’s best banh mi here, served in the perfect Vietnamese baguette — crackly on the outside, white bread soft on the inside. While nearly every other place that sells banh mi buys their bread, owners Chi Lam and Minh Tuan Le make their own, as they do almost everything that goes in the sandwiches. My favorite is the Saigon Special, with the pork four ways (love that pate), but the roast pork, prepared like the crispy-skinned Chinese version, is also popular. It’s just sandwiches and drinks here: Get the coconut coffee, like a Vietnamese affogato. Know before you go: It can get busy, and there are only a few tables, so call in your order ahead of time if you don’t want to wait." - Martha Cheng
