Vegan shrimp is one of my favorite faux meats and they have a lot of dishes with it. Portions are decent and food comes quickly. Staff is friendly.

What I thought was cool was a fried shrimp appetizer that has the shrimp wrapped in vermicelli then friend on a stick. Dipping sauce was good too. The staff speak Vietnamese and English. Indoor seating is plentiful and we had a large party of 8.

The place is dated but don't let it deter you from trying it otherwise you'll miss out! Items that we tried and loved - curry noodle soup - tasted like laksa with fried tofu and veggies. Full of flavor. Amazing! Pho - delicious simple broth, good noodles with lots of veggies. Beef chow fun with gravy - well-charred noodles with good smoky and peppery flavor, beef mock meat tasted fine (not weird), lots of veggies. Banana flower salad - yummy, minty, sweet, umami, next time I'd ask for a side of peanuts. Definitely would be back. Can't wait to try all the other items on the menu!

The service is great and they tend to you well, the hot carpaccio is arguably the best appetizer on their menu. My favorite pasta here is the steak sauce linguine, but I think there's a little too much onions.

The place is very fancy and I love the unique decor with the elegant white cloth tables and spacious area.

My daughter called this "German mac-n-cheese" when we were in Munich. You can purchase half-size, which is like a side order size for around $8 or a full-size for around $16. We tried the original, veggie and a mushroom one in half-sizes and the lemonade. I'm not sure what flavor it was but it was very tart and sweet. I thought it was perfect once the ice melted a little but my daughter drank her's up immediately. Each spaetzle is made to order. They're pretty rich so the half-size was enough for me. The three half-sized spaetzle and two lemonades came out to around $40 so it wasn't cheap but it was delicious.

I had been to this eatery once before, so I already knew that their Korean chicken wings were…read moredelicious. I was looking for dinner nearby that would be quick to order and fast to eat, so this checked all the boxes. I had read a previous review that recommended to call in your order, as they make the chicken wings fresh and it'll take approx 15 min. I dialed their number several times, but the phone just rang and there wasn't a voicemail. I found that odd, but decided to go down there anyway since it's nearby. They're located in the Safeway shopping center next to Repetti's Pizza and Tropics. There are several tables located inside, and the place is clean and spacious. When I walked in, I asked the person at the counter if they take phone orders, which he said yes. I told him I tried calling several times, and when he checked his phone, he realized that it wasn't working. The cook in the back laughed and said maybe that's why they weren't very busy. Despite the hiccup, both employees were very friendly. I ordered the Bone-In (4 pieces) Chicken Plate, which comes with 2 scoops of rice, corn, 2 pieces of mini mandoo and your choice of sauce. I selected the Crispy Snow (cheese and onion powder). It took approx 15 min before my order was ready, so the previous reviewer was right! The chicken pieces were larger than I had remembered. They were cripsy and flavorful. I was very happy that I chose the Crispy Snow sauce! The corn was cold, which I thought was odd. I'm used to eating warm corn, not cold. The mandoo was just average. I realize they are known for their chicken, so next time I'll probably just order the chicken and not the full plate. I will definitely return again to try some of their other sauces!

Atb$18 for each, it's reasonably priced and their portions are large enough to have leftovers. The porchetta sandwich is packed with thinly sliced pork and slivers of crispy skin, lots of peppery arugula, and a spicy sauce. It's a very tasty and filling sandwich. Their bread is also very good. The half chicken plate is such a good deal! The organic chicken half is very large and meaty, and it comes with roasted vegetables and potatoes. Easily 2 meals. Service is very friendly and our cashier let us know it would be 8-10 minutes before our order would ve ready. It's nice to see a local business continue to provide excellent food at a reasonable price.

They give a lot of pork so you can make another sandwich or eat it with rice when you get home - half chicken and roasted veges - the roasted veges were super yummy, perfectly cooked.

Finally, one that uses a controlled amount of at least partially ripened limes and lemon lacking the sharp, sour, citrusy burn. It is also lightly seasoned so the tomatoes, cucumbers and onions retain their texture and crispness for hours. The both the shrimp and fish versions feature fresh seafood with a clean, mild flavor with a tender yet developed chew. Sauces and two tostadas packaged separately for DIY assembly. Tip: Grab a pack of your favorite tostadas from neighboring Safeway. You're gonna want to eat more than just two. Fairly priced. In its own way, surpasses the best on the Island, a certain place with "cartel" in its name for the simple fact that it is NOT overly seasoned allowing it to be enjoyed over time with a few drinks.

It genuinely hurts me to write this review…read more I remember when this restaurant first opened over 30 years ago. I was just a little kid. It has always been one of those neighborhood places that I wanted to support, and over the years I've continued coming back because, quite frankly, Auntie Carol is an incredible cook. Is she rude? Absolutely. Does she complain about everything incessantly. Yep. Anyone who has been here knows she's not exactly known for her customer service or chippy demeanor. I've always believed she has a good heart though, and I overlooked that because the food was worth it. Unfortunately, I can no longer overlook the hygiene. My wife had commented before about the number of flies around the restaurant, and I brushed it off. I figured, "It's Hawaiʻi. Flies happen." Yesterday changed everything. My three-year-old daughter suddenly started screaming, "There's a roach in my food!" Sure enough, there was a large cockroach in her meal. While we were trying to process that, my wife stirred my chicken curry, and a large fly (photo attached) floated to the surface. At that point, we threw everything away. Initially, Auntie Carol questioned whether we should receive a full refund and wanted to know which dish had the insect. When I explained that there was not only a cockroach in one meal, but also a fly in another, and showed her the photo, she refunded the order in full. Only fair. We tossed everything. Roaches and flies and a lengthy black hair in our food. Repugnant. When I got home, I searched through the Google reviews. I found multiple other customers reporting cockroaches and multiple others reporting flies in their food. That tells me this was not simply an unfortunate one-off. This genuinely breaks my heart because these women know how to cook. They're growing many of their own peppers and herbs, and there are dishes here that I've loved for years. No matter how talented a chef is however, basic sanitation isn't optional. I sincerely hope they take this as a wake-up call and address the hygiene problems and if not, do the right thing and close once and for all.

I informed the worker and she went to grab her broom and swept up one. When she swept it, a bunch of ants came crawling out of the roach. I saw another roach and pointed it out, this one was still alive. At this point I had lost my appetite and didn't trust the place to be sanitary. I asked for a refund and the lady became upset. She said the entire plaza has a bunch of cockroaches. My family has gone to ono seafood next door and we didn't see a single cockroach. The restaurant itself was really dirty. After insisting I did not want the food and I wanted a refund she finally gave me a refund. Definitely stay away from this place.
