Fodor's Review:

Comparable to Kona Mix Plate in terms of prices, food quality, and street cred, Ba-Le serves a great plate lunch. It also has tasty Vietnamese-influenced food, such as their popular croissant sandwiches stuffed with mint, lemongrass, sprouts, and your choice from a variety of Vietnamese-style meats. Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) is another great option, especially if you have the misfortune of catching an island cold. There are 20 other shops throughout the state, but it's Hawaiian-owned and operated, so the place doesn't feel like a chain.
