Aloha Hotdog And Banh Mi

The food was good. However, their menu says plant-based hot dog, it wasn't super clear that the sauces and other stuff were not. This was quite disappointing for my partner who is vegan. While the definition of plant-based doesn't mean vegan, just be aware with those with dietary restrictions.

They made everything fresh here. I came from the East coast. I travel all over the place. I always make a point to try out Vietnamese banh mi at every place that I visited. I can honestly said their banh mi sandwiches are so yummy. I had the Vietnamese ham sandwich.(cold cut)

Chicken banh mi was sooo good!! Lots of meat and good flavor. But the true star really is the bread omg it is so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Absolutely delicious !!

I wanted to like this place because of the high reviews, and to be fair—the hotdogs are good. But the customer service really needs improvement. It was our first time visiting, and there were four of us. We told him we were trying to get different hotdogs so we could share and try a variety. Since we weren’t familiar with the menu, we asked for recommendations. The employee who helped us appeared very young and had a slim build. When I asked him for the top seller, he said “Aloha Hotdog,” but when I asked him for a second recommendation, he seemed irritated and just pointed us to the menu. I understand the menu is there, but as first-time customers, we were simply looking for guidance. We ordered four hotdogs for four people, along with four drinks. However, only three drinks came out. When I politely mentioned that we were missing one, he responded, “You didn’t tell me that,” along with an eye roll. That response was disappointing. Mistakes happen—I wasn’t upset about the missing drink. What bothered me was being made to feel like I was lying instead of getting a simple apology or a solution. Overall, the food is good, but his attitude and customer service really take away from the experience.

The banh mi here is excellent! The bread is soft inside and crunchy outside, and the meat is super tasty. Highly recommend!!

I’m a huge hotdog lover, and this was hands down the best hotdog I’ve ever had. I got the Aloha hotdog, and it completely blew me away. The pineapple marmalade was perfectly sweet, and their house-made mustard was incredible (and I don’t even like mustard)! Every flavor balanced so beautifully, which was such a delicious surprise. We literally ordered another one even though we’d already eaten a full meal before coming here. Absolute perfection. I’m already dreaming about my next visit!

This was my first time and the girl who served me was amazing and friendly. I ordered the spicy aloha hot dog and it was wonderful!!! Big portion and the price is reasonable — especially for Waikiki. I definitely recommend this shop and will come back next time I visit Hawaii :))

The Aloha Hotdog was delicious. It was is a jumbo hotdog so a little bit larger than a normal hotdog. The spicy aioli with the pineapple marmalade was delicious. Highly recommend trying. They also have a large choice of different lemonade.
