Ba-Le

Food court location but decent Vietnamese food.
Had a roast pork rice plate which was just a bit sweet but still xlnt. Came with a side salad and macaroni salad. We will go back tonight.

All the Ba-Le’s are good, but Lahaina is the best. Great Phở and Bön Mi sandwiches. They have other good food as well. My jam is the chicken Phở and I add 4 wontons for .50 a piece. Tofu sandwich is good for vegetarians, and they have a bunch of other vegetarian dishes too. The new basil popcorn chicken is pretty good too.

Food is good! They won’t disappoint. Don’t focus on the mall décor. Highly recommend anything that has the lemongrass — beef, chicken, or pork. Their pudding desserts are pretty good too.

Overall pretty solid for vegetarian phở and vegetarian veitnamese food. Many options. Even though it was in a eccentric location (inside cannery mall in the food court), it still satisfied my palate and belly. Enjoy the drive! The ocean is beautiful!

Who knew that there was going to be a decent place to have Vietnamese food at the MALL in Maui! After a few days of Island food that made me feel so «heavy», I was craving for something light but still Asian. So I found this place on Unilocal that was close to where I was staying in Kahana. I was not expecting too much as I have had great Vietnamese food in Westminister and the Bay Area in CA, but I was craving for at least something different and close by. Ba-​Le surprised me. First it was in the Lahiana MALL, and the mall was not a happening place. It was quiet and some of the stores were closed on a Wednesday?! So my mom and I decided to try it anyways. We both ordered the Special Phở. It was full of flavor, which I least expected for Mall food, and the meat was sufficient in amount (I was expecting like two pieces of meat). Needless to say, it hit the spot and I was happy. My mom on the other handle had to pick at everything because she is an Asian Mom. I had to remind her that this was not L.A. Or San Jose. I gave this place 4 stars because it satisfied my craving and expectations.

Vietnamese sandwiches and Vietnamese dishes are ok here at Ba Le in Maui (honestly, can’t compete with any Vietnamese sandwiches store or fast food in California). We stopped by two different locations, and they all located in the food court area in the mall. Surprisingly, there was a difference in prices. For just a bread, one store would sell for $ 89 cents and $ 1.24 cents at another store.

Cashier is never welcoming and never smile. She seems irritated. Smaller portion of food compared to many Vietnamese restaurants.

Phở rare steak is good… But the portion size is small. The service is ok, just be mindful there’s a sassy chunky young lady at the counter. Also buying a croissant ala cart or French bread is not an option. That’s why the 3 stars.

For a food court place, it is good. Tons of selection to choose from, but I opted for the phở. It was surprisingly good! The noodles texture was a bit blah, but the broth was good. I came back later in the week and got a sandwich and boba… I got the special sandwich, I forgot what it was, but there was something in it that did not sit well with my taste buds. Like someone said earlier, stay away from the «boba.» took them like 10 seconds to make and was not good at all.

Being a vegetarian, this is the only place in Lahaina that truly cooks vegetarian entrees, with vegetable stock and it’s own frying pan. Most places will use the same pan they cook other meat dishes in. Wide variety of vegetarian dishes and food is great. Locally owned business that treats their clients with Aloha!

This place is in the food court at the Cannery Mall.
Came here while on vacation because we had a milk tea craving. The milk tea was NOT GOOD. We ordered four and they were watered down, obviously made from a powder mix, and the boba had a weird consistency. If we ever come back here it would be to try the sandwiches, but we will stay away from the milk tea! My one star is for that terrible milk tea. I can’t say anything for the food because we only stopped here because we wanted boba.
If you come here, check to see if they have currently have a coupon in the mall magazine.

Was craving vietnamese food while on vacation and decided to try this little food court restaurant out. It is located inside of the Lahaina Cannery Mall. Ordered the char siu fried and two banh mi combination to go. YUMMY. A bit on the pricey side for us main landers ($ 6.85 for banh mi and $ 9 for fried rice, but hey its maui.

In the food court and so not a dining out «experience» however everytime I’m in Lahaina I eat there at least once as their phở is pretty good.
Fast and friendly service and fair priced.

Quick bite to eat, we got the pork sandwich and the beef to go. I liked the beef much more. Great lemongrass flavor and lots of goodies inside the freshly baked bread. We also got a croissant and water. i think it was $ 15 for everything ;)
Would definitely recommend it!

They make a great phở soup — amazing comfort food, especially when you’re under the weather and need hot soup. They packed up the basil, bean sprouts, and chili nicely for my ‘to go’ bag. Took care to tape the containers up so that they don’t accidentally spill. The chicken pieces were good too, no skin.
The noodle itself was just ok. maybe because I had it ‘to go’, it was congealed a bit.
I also tried the taro tapioca, and it was addictive.
I’m trying the banh mi (sandwich) and spring roll next time.

I’ve had better.
If you want banh mi, the Ba-​Le in Rainbow Food Court at Maui Marketplace is wayyy better. The food at this one is… I don’t know, different. It’s just not up to par if you’ve had Vietnamese food before. I’ve even had stale banh mi from here once. Ew.
The old owner was friendlier, the new one is kind of mean. O well. I’d rather drive to Kahului or Wailuku to get the better stuff.

Average typical local lunch place for Asian food. You order at the counter which shares the same owner as the L & L booth next door. I had saimim on a styrofoam large cup which was just meh. The locals gather here and it is fun to be around nice happy people enjoying their comfort food together.

After waking up at 5 am, flying from SFO to Maui and finding our way to the Lahaina Safeway for food supplies for our stay, my boyfriend and I realized we were hungry NOW! Still delirious from flying and disoriented from being on Maui for the first time, we stumbled on this place in the Cannery Mall.
Was it fine dining or a place I’d go out of my way for? Well, no, but for a spontaneous stop it does the trick. I got the fresh Tofu spring rolls and they were flavorful and generously portioned along with peanut dipping sauce. My boyfriend enjoyed his lemon grass chicken sandwich.
Cheap, fresh, and quick. Perfect for a quick stop before checking in to our hotel. Who would have thought Ba-​Le would be my first meal on Maui?

I had the teriaki steak. The service was friendly, the price was a little steep — none of that would have mattered except the steak was burnt — I mean bits of charcoal meet on it.
My wife and daughter sampled the L&L Drive In two counters over and had a good experience.

Who would have thought there could be half-​decent food in a shopping mall. For the most part, Lahaina Cannery Mall has been almost barren, but in the past year, things have been getting better. Besides L&L, there is Ba-​Le that serves decent bahn mi’s and the like. You order at the counter, and wait for about 5 minutes for your order to be called.
Ba-Le’s Pork Sandwich (Bahn Mi) for $ 5.50 contains Vietnamese style cold cuts of thinly sliced pork, pickle, daikon, carrot, onion, parsley, cucumber, and homemade mayonnaise. You can order it on French bread, which is similar to the typical bahn mi bread, or a Croissant (add an additional $ 0.75 to price for Croissant). I got it on a French baguette-​like bread. Although the bread was not as airy and crisp as bahn mi bread, it was pretty close. The bread is just a bit denser. All the vegetables were crisp and fresh. For the price, it’s on the high side, but if you’re craving a bahn mi, it’ll get the job done, but don’t expect to be amazed. It’s worth checking out if you want a quick bite, but don’t plan on a lunch or dinner here if you’re only visiting the island. There are much better places to try in the short period of time you’re spending in Maui.
