In my opinion, the best comfort food comes from family-run and operated, hole-in-the-wall eateries and Aloha Vietnamese supports my views. This dinner-only, late-night joint is appropriately named because they are serving food with Aloha. You can taste the love in every bite! They open from 5 to 12 pm. This is GREAT because we often search for yummy take-out later in the evening, especially on weekends. When the day gets away from you, you don't feel like cooking, and every place is closing the kitchen, Aloha Vietnamese is still serving a full menu of delicious dishes.  We love that! And, we've loved everything we've tried so far. It's a small establishment that specializes in take-out.  They have an extensive selection and I'm especially pleased with their many vegetarian/pescatarian options. So far, we've tried the vegetarian spring rolls which were crispy and very full of fillings and flavor; the shrimp summer rolls were HUGE and served with a peanut sauce; and the tofu pad thai which was cooked perfectly. My husband loves a Vietnamese crab soup or bun rieu.  Their soup is full of large-sized shrimp, tofu, and veggies.  And they include the sauces without you having to ask!  A heaping serving of fresh veggies is included to add to the soup--just like in a sit-down restaurant.  Hubby was very happy and is excited he can get his favorite noodle soup if he has a late-night craving. I adore a vermicelli bowl. This could possibly be the BEST lemongrass tofu vermicelli I've had (and I've had lots!).  They are super generous with the lemongrass and the tofu is flash fried before being sautéed in the fragrant sauce.  Seriously, so ONO!  The noodles were cooked well, not soggy at all.  And, the veggies were very fresh, bright and crispy.  I was delighted with this dish and am very excited I can get my favorite vermicelli bowl when I have a late-night craving. When I say this place is family-run, I mean it.  The owner Quy is so friendly and always greets us warmly.  I think his wife and mom do the cooking.  It's like you pay a visit to friends and pick up food they've cooked in their home kitchen.  We can tell they've made these dishes for their family for years.  And now it feels like we are part of their Ohana as we enjoy their family recipes in the comfort of our home.  Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that their servings are very substantial.  We sometimes get the pad thai and split it into a couple lunches for later.  This place would be great to pick potluck dishes or a family dinner, too.  They are located in the complex next to Savers on King Street (Diamond Head side).  Free parking in the lot, and there is also parking on both sides of King Street. Aloha Vietnamese is just really good people serving really great food.  There is really NO good reason to not give them a try and give them some Aloha. read more

Hands down one of the best Vietnamese food I've had in HI. Don't let the place fool you...ordered their Bun Bo Hue, Fried Banana and Fresh Spring Rolls. Bun Bo Hue was very memorable and delicious! The service was great! Whenever we are back, we will add this place to our list of must stops to eat ! read more

Landed in Honolulu and staying at Waikiki and this is the only food open at the time. It's hard to be disappointed with. I was able to find this Vietnamese food through Yelp. Of course, an FYI on the side note: it is only takeout, no dining in. But they have the basics of a pho restaurant, which includes rice plates and other side dishes:, pretty nice customer service. I would definitely come back, especially if you can't find nothing else this late. read more

First time here. I had the pork bahn mi and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! They are open late so check them out! Located right next to niu read more

This place is our go to spot. Love that they are open so late and man are they busy a lot of the time. Probably because they are the only place open so late. The way you order inside is by writing down what you want on a post it and handing it to the guy. We usually call our order in because it gets so busy. Anytime we are craving pho we always come here and it hits the spot every time. The chicken wings are the BOMB and are a must. Spring rolls are fat and filled with meat so good. The pad thai is a bit saucey and sweet but still good. The BBQ chicken is more like char sui. The man that works there is always so sweet. read more

Always consistently delicious; crispy spring rolls, and fresh summer rolls... I've tried their pad thai, lemongrass Tofu vermicelli, and my boyfriend loves their lemongrass chicken vermicelli plate ... I have been loving their tofu bahn mi sandwich recently. They are very kind people. They have wonderful tapioca puddings too. The one we have tried has big chunks of taro in it!! I love it here!! read more

Came here for a late dinner and LET ME JUST SAY... we've been missing out Everything we ordered was so good, but the fried chicken was our absolute favorite. The raw onions + lemon take it to a whole different level Portion sizes are HUGE -- definitely worth your money. And the owner was the sweetest! He even gave us free banana tapioca We'll definitely be coming back for our Vietnamese fix read more

Great food, great service, late hours, hidden gem in Moiliili. Same lot as Tori Ton. I've seriously ordered from here a dozen times. They are a hole in the wall type take out joint. Typically, pretty busy with constant orders so allow for 30-40 minutes to get your order. Best if you call ahead of time then pick up. They have a pretty expansive menu. Everything I've gotten here I've enjoyed. Their rare beef salad is perfection though. Generous portions of meat perfectly dressed with their fish sauce vinaigrette. I always have to get their taro tapioca for a sweet finish. read more

I've been here many times for their pho and taro sago. The prices and hours are good. They're one of the few pho places that opens past 8pm. Just call ahead and they'll have your order ready for pickup. No dinning areas, just pickup. read more

This late night spot is one of my favorites to hit after my late shift. The lemon beef salad is tasty and the portions are more than generous. Very friendly staff, too. read more

My family and I have been ordering here for years, even before COVID hit & they still had seating. We regularly order the chicken pho, lemongrass tofu with rice, banh mi, & sometimes even summer rolls, spring rolls, & coconut chicken curry. The service sometimes will take longer than expected because it is a family-run business, but it is definitely worth the wait. We've had nothing but excellent food & service throughout the 10+ years we've been eating at this establishment. read more

I absolutely love this place! Everything I've tried, I loved! Their pho tastes like it was made with love! Their bun bo hue, bun rieu,lemon beef salad- all bomb. And don't skip on their chicken wings... best ones on the island in my humble opinion. They even do vegetarian dishes amazingly... their veggie pho is good and their eggplant mushroom tofu stir fry, I could drink the sauce it's so good! Even their tapioca is good! I like how it's a family run business. This place needs to stay open forever! read more

I thought this place was a restaurant when I looked it up and I wanted to order food takeout. However, this place was just for takeout at night because it only had 2 seats. I ordered two phos from this place. I like that they separate the broth and the food. However, when I poured the broth into the food, it did not warm it. The noodles were cold, and the beef did not cook. I had to warm up the broth and the food. read more

Check out my photos for updated pictures of the actual sign for the restaurant. On my first visit, I had difficulty finding the restaurant. I had searched previous Yelp photos of the establishment, so I was on the lookout for specific signage, but it does not look like that anymore. Service is friendly. Everything is take out only and prices are affordable. They do not accept American Express. read more

Always a great solid spot for late night Vietnamese food! (It's our go to spot when we arrive back late from Vegas) My wife and I are always happy with the large variety of things they offer! Wonderfully family run and highly recommended! read more

A must try restaurant! Aloha Vietnamese Food is a family own business that provides its customers with an array of food that is light, fresh, flavorful, and crisp-tasting for a reasonable price. Each bite you take, whether it's from a banh mi, lemon beef salad, pho, or even their porkchop and rice plate. The flavors are consistent and always taste fresh. Take out only. The average wait time for your food to be done would be 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how many items were ordered. Everything on their menu tastes great. I recommend the following items: *Fried chicken wings *lemon beef salad *Thai tea *Vietnamese coffee *combination banh mi *lemongrass chicken banh mi *spring rolls (made in-house) *house fried rice *caramelized Claypot catfish *combination plate *banana tapioca (made inhouse) Inside is clean and organized. Aunty and uncle are the nicest people. Service is good Payment Cash or credit Parking Private lot or street parking (free after 5pm) read more

I Heart Aloha Vietnamese Foods! What a lifesaver! I had just finished working First Friday, and I was hot, dirty, and hungry. I didn't want to sit down and eat, and Zippy's was not appealing but a big bowl of pho was what I really wanted. Yelp "late night bites" and Aloha came up. Tucked away in an unassuming spot, it's take out only, which is great! Ordered #19 brisket and sirloin, XL! and #3 summer rolls. Couldn't wait to get back to my hotel. Everything was soooooo good and hit the spot! I am so glad there's places like this open late for takeout! Mahalo! read more

I always wanted to try here for lunch, but it was closed and only open for dinner. One day I sat in my car for a while after shopping thinking what I should get for dinner. It finally dawned on me that I've been wanting to try Aloha Vietnamese Foods' Fried chicken wings. My work friend would raved how her and boyfriend just love their crispy fried chicken wings and they liked it the best so it definitely piqued my interest. Asked Jolene L. and her daughter when we were dining at Pho Dynasty where else had good pho and her daughter mentioned Aloha Vietnamese. Jolene L. also mentioned how she liked their Fried chicken wings and the Lemon beef salad too! So Fried Chicken Wings and the Lemon Beef Salad it is! When I've arrived and was waiting, I decided to get the grilled pork sandwich too! I planned to share with mom, since she loves Vietnamese sandwiches. I saw the boiled peanuts sign and I couldn't resist buying a bag too! The boiled peanuts were simple and it seems to had a little salt taste. It was on the softer side than what I'm use to and usually like it a little on the crunchier side. It was a good price. The grilled pork sandwich was good but the crusty bread may make it difficult to bite into. My mom ate it later so I suggested to microwave it a bit. I did love the fried chicken wings and beef salad . I must say, they were right. The chicken was really crispy and not too oily with a good taste. It came with a container of salt and pepper and it could be a very thin layer of butter underneath? Their beef salad was delicious! Aloha Vietnamese Foods is open only for take out and for dinner. I read its own by a husband and wife. Wife does there cooking in the back and husband mentioned to me that before covid his wife had a health issue and they started to open later and later and now only for dinner. The husband who helped me was working so hard taking phone orders and calling them back when it's ready. So grateful they are still open so we can still get their yummy fried chicken wings and beef salad! Just read Peter Y's review and now I want to try the Casserole Pot Pork Belly & Beef Stew! Thank you! Support a local! read more

My new favorite pho place. Per chance we just happened to visit place as we were yelping the dessert shop next door. We were hungry and decided to try the food due to the large number of high yelp reviews. First off..there is no in door dining. Order your food and wait 15 minutes outside. The owner is very friendly and nice. The inside of the shop is basic however the smell of the soup permeates the store. We ordered beef pho and crispy spring rolls. The beef pho was hearty. The soup unexplainably rich and tasty. The offering was ample. The meats and vegetables all in one dish was so filling! The spring rolls were crispy. There was more than enough for my little family. Will definitely return! Looking forward to our next trip!!! read more

Hahahahah!!! I just realized I've been here a few times and have NEVER taken a picture of the food :-/ OMG! That's a super über rare thing as even if I do start before my phone I somehow capture it but something must've been in the noodles cause my hangry mood kicked it into a trance mode and I have no proof of my bliss. Located in Old Stadium Square parking is the biggest challenge as other businesses it shares with vs stall are sadly off kilter. Sadly and probably at its convenience it's take out only and has kept it's covid system exactly as is, no seating whatsoever with very minimalist decor it is best to call ahead since everything is made to order and does take awhile but is so worth the wait. Absolutely friendly staff always ready for any questions and are patient, as I do always get something veggie here he makes sure if egg or other items typically comes with the dish is acceptable for me which is great as I do have allergies and clarity is always gratefully appreciated. I always get the Pad Thai which isn't they dry type and is a bit more saucy but is just on point and delicious always...they do have a lot of signage which may seem extreme but knowledge is a wonderful thing and it's who doesn't like something that's freshly made. You know I gotta go back to show what keeps me coming back besides having some great late night hours (5pm to midnight) and are closed on Thursdays and I promise to let my phone eat first...lmao! Thank you! read more

The best little mom and pop Vietnamese take and go restaurant you NEED to try! Aunty and Uncle are the sweetest and most genuine small business owners you will ever meet. The couple and owners have three daughters and are an open book if you are up for swapping stories with them when they are not busy. Inside the restaurant is spotless clean surrounded by coolers stocked with your sweet Asian drinks and desserts as well as freezers to store their meats & veggies. On the side of that will be a stool or two to sit and wait for your order. Make sure to call in your order ahead of time if you cannot wait for they need time to put TLC, especially, to make you the hot and delicious authentic Vietnamese soup dishes like there Bo kho (beef stew) or Cari ga (curry chicken) my two favorites and oh so nostalgic of home cooked meals!!! *emotional just thinking about their food* That's how delicious their food is! I love pairing these two dishes with a warm toasty banh mi bread or go buy a whole baguette from Times or Brug. You can thank me later!! They are located in Moili'ili - the same center as L&L, Niu Soft Serve & Kozo Sushi. I went around 5 pm on a Wednesday & there were about five stalls open so it's not difficult to find parking. Otherwise, you can always wait a bit for a spot to open up for that center is mostly take-and-go. read more

This is secretly the best Vietnamese food on island. My niece and I were going to a different restaurant when she stopped, looked at the storefront, and said, "that place is awesome." She has a psychic ability to choose the best dishes on the menu and random restaurants that cross our path. There hasn't been waiting I've ordered it hasn't been incredibly delicious. But the two dishes that I think about the most are the beef salad and the banana tempura. And again, everything is amazing and made with attention and love. read more

I love coming here cause they are open pretty late and you just pick up your food to go. There is no indoor seating/dining area but the food is spectacular. The pho is great but you do have to take it home to eat. The lemon beef salad is a go to for me as well. The owners are super nice and always take care of me. The taro pudding is also great! read more

Takeout dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... Aloha Vietnamese Foods is located in Old Stadium Square. This cozy restaurant shares the parking lot with businesses such as Tori Ton, Golden Eagle, Lunar Tea, and Niu Soft-Serve. I wanted to takeout something that I could eat in the theater. I ordered Summer Rolls and Lemongrass Chicken Bahn Mi over the phone and was told that my food would be ready in about 20 minutes. I arrived early and was greeted by a sweet young gal. She had a bright smile and said that my order was ready! Yay! I opened the package and took photos - wow - everything looked delicious! Too bad I ended up not eating during the movie because I thought that the package and foil would make too much noise. I also figured out that it would be too difficult to pour the sauce onto the Summer Rolls in the dark. Even dipping them into the sauce would be messy... Uhg! I ate the Summer Rolls at home... Yes!!! Yummy and fresh! The lemongrass chicken Bahn Mi had great flavor, too! I enjoyed the pickled veggies, also! I'll have to return for the vermicelli and more Summer Rolls! I should probably try the Grilled pork and Kalbi, too! read more

This is my absolutely FAVORITE vietnamese restaurant. I was so heartbroken that this place turned into a takeout only restaurant (due to covid), however I will support here no matter what. The owners are the sweetest husband and wife ever. I have been coming here since I was a child and I am surprised every time I visit after a long time. It is not only me, he tries maintain a friendly relationship with all of his customers. The prices are extremely affordable and the food is delicious with great portioning. I think it is probably the most affordable vietnamese place I know. Support small businesses! Especially this one :D read more

Pad tai- I don't understand why it was so sweet . Noodles was a bit soggy . Crispy egg noodle- again the sauce is sweet. I know there's a lot of good reviews . I say give it a try. Others like it but it wasn't for me The sweetness just really threw me off. read more

Super friendly Vietnamese family serving up some flavorful Vietnamese food. The chicken curry is DELICIOUS! I especially love dipping toasted baguette in it. Their lemon beef salad is refreshingly tasty and oh-so flavorful. I love finishing it off with their tapioca desserts (banana or taro). Everything is efficiently packed for takeout. They are the kindest people and they stay open considerably late. read more

The food here is 10/10! It's been on my list of to try for over a year but always want to go for lunch but they are only open later on. I ordered a few different things and everything was flavorful but tastes very clean. I get bbq chicken vermicelli everywhere I go and the here chicken was so flavorful and not drenched in sauce. The pork meat ball Bahn mi was almost too good. I just ate the other half cold out of the fridge the next day and it was GREAT. The guy taking orders was very nice and smiley. The food took longer than I expected which was fine because I had nowhere to be but my couch. The space is also extremely clean. Only two chairs for waiting so calling in the order seems like the way to go. Plenty of people coming in from phone orders. The guy taking orders even knew some by name, new goal unlocked. Excited to try more things read more

This place has been my go-to pho spot since they had dine-in! They're now takeout only, but the food has stayed delicious. Prices aren't cheap but are fair for the portion and quality of food you get. Uncle who works there is always super nice. Food is not speedy but I just call a good 20-30 minutes ahead (they say if it'll be a long wait) and it's always fresh when I get there. The star of the show is the pho broth. It's SO savory and flavorful that I can finish the entire bowl without adding any sauces. Bc of that, I can't recall if they include them with the pho fixings, but there is a sign that says sriracha is available by request so make sure to ask. Again, a good size for the price, and they give a decent amount of bean sprouts, basil and a few jalapeno slices and lemons. The combination pho is my go to and always has a great amount of meat. I recently tried the oxtail and while it was tasty, it was a lot of work getting the last bits of meat off the bone...I'll stick to my combination lol. All the other dishes are also a good size and quality. The lemon beef salad is piled high and has plenty of rare beef along with all the fixings. Vermicelli dishes are also a good size and their bbq chicken is one of my favs, so tender and flavorful. Staples like the papaya salad, spring rolls and summer rolls are straightforward but stick to their good quality. The only catch is that their very nearby competitor has the best crack sauce I've ever had...iykyk. Aloha Vietnamese's crack sauce is mild, which some people might prefer. I think a crushed garlic clove and some chili would take it from a 8.2 to a 10/10. Oo, and their chicken wings are so underrated. They're fat, crispy and juicy and tossed in onions and butter. Definitely use the included lemon and seasoning salt. read more

Best vermicelli and lemon beef salad in town!!! The family is also super nice! They also stay open late for your post show cravings. Carry out only. read more

Good for late night, but kind of skimpy for the price. I ordered a bbq chicken/spring roll plate that was $15 and they gave me one scoop rice that was smashed down with one piece of chicken breast that was small and one spring roll. I was a little irritated coming home and seeing that because in the other pictures it had 2 rolls and the plate looked more filled. The sandwiches are normal though. I recommend those lol Its takeout only. read more

Take out only, a family owned restaurant. Always delicious with great service! I love the lemon beef salad, butter leaf lettuces with thinly sliced rare beef and an amazing lemon dressing with some delicious fixings. Their pho and pork summer rolls did not disappoint. Portions are generous. I always request a side of their homemade satay sauce great on everything! read more

Honestly I didn't even know there was a pho restaurant here until this one time maybe a good 5 years ago or so a coworker of mine told me about this place. We came here after work from the restaurant and wanted like late night food. He told me there's a really good pho restaurant and so we went. This was when they had a couple of tables for dine in but now it is only take out since Covid. The pho here is also really good! This is definitely another one of my favorite places to get take out pho right now. I don't get to come here as often since they are usually only opened at night for take out so most times I would be dining in or having home cooked meals but every now and then when we do wanna get something for take out and in the area we would go here. I am a very big fan of pho as that is my second favorite food to eat! They have a really large selection on their menu for such a small restaurant it is very impressive! I had recently just ordered take out from them last night because the other half wanted the Vietnamese beef stew with the bread. Not all Vietnamese restaurants serve this dish and so when I saw that they had it I was very happy! I called it in advance which it takes about 15 minutes or so to prepare, so by the time I got there it was almost ready! The people there are very friendly and nice and I really appreciate them a lot! As I was driving with my piping hot beef stew and bread, it decided to tip over and so the cover gave out and the soup was spilling in the bag. I had turned around and went back to the restaurant to ask if they could kindly provide a new container for me because it tipped over and soup was pouring out. They were so kind enough to change out my container and this time tape the cover down as well. I really appreciate it and felt really bad and embarrassed that this has happened. But this just shows you how they really care about their customers and would kindly do that for you without any complaints! If you haven't tried this place and live down by Moilili/University area, I would highly recommend! Their food and very delicious and they are open from 5pm to midnight as well so great for late night cravings as well!! read more

There's a few restaurants that offer beef salad, but if you want the best beef salad, look no further! Every time we order beef salad from here, it is consistent and amazing. Fresh lettuce, thinly sliced onion, herbs, and perfectly/delicately "cooked" beef. The delicious beef salad is gently mixed with love and topped with chopped peanuts. This tastes so good that we don't even need the sauce packed with it. Their pho is also delicious. You can tell that their authentic broth has been simmering in all the traditional spices. It is flavorful and not salty. Again, it is consistently delicious every time we order pho from here. We also ordered the lemongrass tofu over vermicelli noodles. While it comes with fish sauce to use with the noodles and fresh veggies, the lemongrass tofu had lots of extra sauce, too. This was good and such a generous serving! We will likely order other menu items to go before we leave. As you can tell from other reviews, we are not the only ones enjoying the food here :) read more

Love the fried chicken wings and summer rolls! Open late which is a plus! The owner is always so kind

Love it here!! Clean, quick and good service. Super nice owners. Food always on point. Reasonable pricing,. Good for Kate night eats.

GET THE FRIED CHICKEN WINGS! You won't regret it. Best wings I have ever tasted. It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavor was on point and they include onions, lemon and containers of pepper and salt too. I have also tried their chicken curry with banh mi and that was delicious as well. Small mom and pop shop and I'm glad to support! It's currently only take-out, but no complaints about that. I usually just call in my order ahead of time (15-20+ min before) and it's usually always ready by the time I get there. I'd say this is my top Vietnamese restaurant! read more

Mom & Pop place. Take out only. COVID restrictions have been lifted for a while and they do not have plans to resume dine in service. Mom is the only cook and she makes everything to order. So if they are busy, you might wait a while for your food. Most patrons phone in their order so it rarely looks busy from the outside. The easiest way to place a phone order is start with the number listed on their menu. For example: Beef Stew * Spicy (15 minutes) 36 ...Beef Stew w/ Rice $15. 37 ...Beef Stew w/ Rice noodle $16. 38 ...Beef Stew w/ Egg noodle $16. 39 ...Beef Stew w/ Pho noodle $16. 40 ...Beef Stew w/ Bread $16.50 "Number 40, Beef Stew w/ bread and a side order of egg noodle ($4.)" The #40 beef stew is thicker, accompanied by one Banh mi size French bread to sop up the stew. When I finish my bread, I pour the remaining stew over my egg noodles. This order feeds two people. If I ordered #37,#38,#39 Beef stew w/ noodles, it would be a thiner beef stew because the stew is place in soup noodles. *Spicy - I'm a wimp when it comes to chili peppers. The beef stew spices does not have a chili burn to it but is very flavorful. #108 SPICY Beef Noodles $13.50 has a chili pepper kick to it. (This dish is more renowned at Bac Nam but I still think Aloha Vietnam version is good.) Other dishes I frequently order are: #8 Fried Chicken Wings $12. Crispy wings with onion & butter. Make sure you squeeze the lemon over it and sprinkle the salt & pepper before you take a bite. #11 Lemon Beef Salad *Spicy $16.50 I often order one shrimp chip and heap the beef salad over it. It's like eating a Vietnamese tostada. (Shrimp chips are an off the menu item, sold by the piece, from Vietnam, not always available.) #42 Chicken Coconut Curry with Rice noodles. $15.50 #58 -#61 Crispy Egg Noodles (15 minutes) This takes CRISPY noodles to the next level!!! If you don't have a set of good teeth to chomp away, you might want to pass on this. All the different gravy's are yummy & hot. The take out container they provide is barely sufficient so I bring my 4 cups Pyrex container and pour the gravy all over the noodles when I get home. The following dishes have been a hit with Kapunas & friends: #16-#25 Pho - If you are on a cardiac diet, it is difficult to eat out. Too much salt makes your ankles and fingers swollen. Ajinomoto - heart palpation, dry mouth. Guess what? These people love the pho here. No swelling, palpations or dry mouth. I asked Mom if she adds salt & MSG, she said, "Yes but very little bit." Hint: Pho taste better hot. When you get home, reboil broth, then pour it over the noodles. Then toss in the basal & bean sprouts. #24 Oxtail Pho & #65 Oxtail Soup with Rice - If you're a fan of oxtail soup at Asahi Grill or Kam Bowl, you can pass on the oxtail here. #90 Caramelized Claypot Catfish, When they had dine in service, I notice a lot of Vietnamese people ordered this dish. Now I bring a small clay pot when I order this. 25-45mins later its is all bubbling when it comes out of the kitchen and thickens as it cools. The catfish has a very distinctive flavor that you will love or hate. If I had to subtract a star from here, it would be for ambiance but I have seen Mom & Pop cleaning in the kitchen at 2am. read more

Had this spot on my radar for the longest time! Finally decided to try it out. Stayed relatively close to here, so I ended up walking to AVF. They do have parking, but the lot definitely gets filled quickly with all the food around. I called ahead to save some time. I ordered the XL combo pho and the house special pork chop rice plate. I enjoyed their pho! Fit perfectly in a 60oz bowl. They packaged everything well, separating the raw meat from the cooked. They only do takeout. They did mention their soup was very hot and to be careful. Even though it was hot, I usually like to reheat my soup back home so the raw meat and cook through. Pork chop plate was good too, with a lot of variety. Will be back next time I'm in town! read more
