    Amazing Vietnamese food truck with an extensive menu! I came across this food truck the other night with a hankering for Pho. As I approached, I could see a huge photo collage of most of the dishes served. A very nice woman at the counter took my order, of which I went for the Oxtail Pho and a Pineapple Sugar Cane drink. After paying, I went to pick a table. Within 8 minutes the food arrived at the table and it smelled wonderful. First off, I've never had oxtail pho before... love oxtail, love pho, so perfect combo! The broth was delicious and the pho was fantastic! The only thing I'd say is that the portion was a bit small for Hawaiian and Vietnamese standards. As for the ambiance, it's very casual with a street food scene vibe that I was digging! There's ample parking as well. Next time I'd like to try the pork rice plate and the snails. If you've got a craving for Vietnamese food, this spot is worth trying!

    I usually steer clear of food trucks, but this one immediately caught my attention. Curious, I walked up and asked what was fresh that evening. A friendly woman showed me a steaming bowl of soup that looked absolutely delicious. I gave it a try--and I'm glad I did. The soup came with a generous spread of condiments: lemon, water spinach, and a punchy shrimp paste with chili. The broth was bold and rich with deep seafood flavors--every spoonful revealed layers of crab, shrimp, minced pork, and cubes of pig's blood tofu, all nestled over silky white udon noodles. I sat at one of eight clean tables under a charming awning, strung with colorful lanterns that made me feel like I was back in Vietnam. The menu is impressively extensive, and I'm already looking forward to returning to try more!

    Stopped by Saigon Grill and tried the Dubai-inspired pistachio crunch chocolate. This was good. The texture was amazing -- creamy pistachio filling, rich chocolate, and a really solid crunch. Not overly sweet either. $27 after tax.

    Oxtail pho

    Similar to food truck stop. Viet food, looks like crab is their specialty. Oxtail pho was very good, meat tender off bone, soup tasty with rice noodle. Bean sprouts were wilted or old. Beef plate was good, tender cubes. Service was good, external tables with cover for rain or heavy sun. Ambiance none as this is mainly like a picnic. Overall, 3 stars out of 4.

    We stumbled upon this place after looking for late night restaurants after attending First Friday at Capitol Modern in Downtown. We initially were planning to go to Sura just around the corner, but was too impatient to wait. So we ended up walking to the food trucks to explore other options. I've been curious about this place for a while and was only able to come here for the first time. FOOD -- I ordered a combination pho. The pho was overall ok, but I feel like I've had richer tasting broth elsewhere. I probably wouldn't get the pho again, but I am open to ordering another dish from the menu. I also find that the prices here are on the higher end. I felt like the portion of the food does not reflect the price. Sugarcane juice costs $8.99, which is pricier than what I would pay. SERVICE -- The workers are friendly. One of them wiped down the table for me when I sat down. AMBIANCE -- This place is located on an empty (parking?) lot across the Hawaii Convention Center. There are two other food trucks in the lot. Saigon Grill is the biggest one. It is painted in pastel pink tones and sakura flowers. There are bench-style seating right infront of the trucks. Brightly-lit and decorated. I like how breezy it was while I was eating. Review for service received on August 1, 2025.

    Scammin liar. He told me a big plate of food would be 22 dollars and 3 seconds later when paying he changed it to 32 dollars and there wasn't that much food. Don't go here

    * This review is only for their sugarcane juice. I didn't get any food. I heard that they sell sugarcane juice. I love sugarcane juice, so I had to give it a try. A cup of cane juice goes for $8.99, so not bad. They have a lot of sugarcane juice combos. I opted to try their lychee cane. It was so good. It had bits of lychee jelly on the bottom and two pieces of canned lychee. As much as I liked the lychee version, the pure sugarcane juice is still my fave. This is a food truck. It's parked on Kapiolani Blvd. right next to the ramp going up to Hawaiian Brian's.

    Came here because we were craving Vietnamese food, my goodness with place was FREAKEN AMAZING!! Cooked by actual Vietnamese people, the clams are so sweet and fresh even drank the lemon grass soup that it was in!! The crawfish was delicious literally smothered in garlic goodness, should've ask for a bit spicer. The drinks was just right not too sweet. The owner was sweet enough to talk to us and have a good convo about his food! Love it when people are just good people and like to converse ! Would recommend to any one who loves Vietnamese street style food. I'm really sad I didn't order more things to try, probably will come back tomorrow. Came back three days in a row and ended up trying a few noodle dishes and shrimp!! Would love different dipping options though, salt pepper and lime is just a suggestion. Outdoor seating with overhead coverage in a cute little lot!

    $60 crab
    Calie H.

    Food is overpriced and poor quality. Seafood is not fresh as advertised. We spent $60 on a small dungeon crab, took one bite and threw the whole crab away. The "butter garlic" sauce was really sweet and crab barely had any meat. For a $30 Conch mango salad, all you get is lot of onion, very little mango, maybe 4 thin slices of conch, and very stale shrimp chips. Our whole dinner tonight was $160 for 4 dishes and 2 sugarcane drink. I am upset because I feel like I've been fooled by all 4-5 star reviews and TikToKers. I had high hopes and it was such a huge disappointment.

    Garlic Butter Sea Snail. I think I'd prefer escargot. This is too small.
    Rebecca T.

    Finally got to try this place! It's pretty good but I think the prices could be better for the quantity and quality of food. We tried their snails, curry crab and dynamite scallops. Their snails were quite tiny and couldn't taste much of the meat flavor. The sauce didn't really stick to the meat so it's a little bland. The curry crab was delicious! The curry sauce went so well with rice! But the crab was small and not very sweet. The dynamite scallops didn't look anything like the photo, also it didn't taste that good. It's more mayo than anything. And the quality of the scallop wasn't that good. I think the idea of having so much seafood dish was great! I just hope the dishes stood out more. Their curry crab was good but I know other places make decent ones too. The seating area had nice ambiance lighting. It's a cool spot to hang out with friends at night, eat and drink.

    I've been wanting to go to Saigon Grill for a while now, and I'm glad we finally got the chance to go. We got there about 7pm on Saturday and it wasn't very crowded. The parking lot is small, but is convenient because it's right next to their place. They have a really nice set up with a good amount of outdoor seating & their "wagon" is decorated so nicely. We looked at their menu & couldn't decide what to get because everything looked so good. We decided on the butter garlic snails & the vermicelli bowl. I think they made the wrong flavored snails because it was soooo spicy. But the taste was really good & worth the sweat. The vermicelli bowl came with pork, spring rolls & shrimp. Really good as well. I also got their mixed fruit cane juice which was good but I think the regular flavor would've been better. They are pretty pricey, so be prepared to spend quite a bit. But I definitely would come back to try some other dishes that my friend recommended to me.

I heard they will keep this space for special events. The restaurant is quite busy and I'm glad we had reservations. Good thing I was there prior to lunch hour opening, otherwise we may lose our reservations since the person who made reservations tends to be habitual in arriving late. We dined in May, but it's been awhile since I first dined here. I preferred dining in Chinatown during lunch time than at dinner. Our waiter was really nice and helpful. I forgot his name, but I remembered that his eyeglasses that he wore was cool/funny, since the frames for each eye didn't match the other eye! lol. Funny it wasn't me who first noticed it. One was square frame and the other was a round frame! The restaurant doesn't do anything special for birthdays except may write Happy Birthday in chocolate on the dessert plate that you purchase for the birthday person. Their desserts are unique and refreshing. I think there are some rotating desserts /flavors like their seasonal menu for their main menu. I guess you can always keep coming back without being bored of the menu! I was bummed to see a previous dish posted of a pasta that I wanted to try that wasn't on the current spring seasonal menu! When we dined for brunch over the weekend, I was able to get the Hainan chicken with the crispy roast pork combo. It was very filling , tasty and satisfying. I do love ginger sauce on the cold ginger chicken but sometimes the chicken is just okay. This Hainan chicken was really good and the chicken was really moist! I thought it was the best I've tried! It was good that I wanted to takeout one last time in August before they moved! No more the 50/50 combo with the crispy roast pork on the lunch menu during the weekday. It was on the spring menu. Of course it's best to eat it in the restaurant than for take out. Bathroom is a must for me when dining out and they had only one shared bathroom for everyone! There was a guy who tried to make several attempts but wasn't successful, since there was always someone in the restroom. I'm glad the waiter told me there was a bigger separate bathroom with several stalls for men and ladies upstairs. You go straight through the kitchen to catch the elevator and to another kitchen /storage area! Thank Goodness! Best wishes at your new location. You offer yummy and tasty food!

It wasn't anything too special compared to your usual Spring Rolls, but I will say that their dipping sauce and everything else that comes with it (rice noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots) made it so that you could easily make it a meal vice an appetizer. If you're looking for a cozy place to have dinner, their space was a bit crowded but if you're okay with then this place is good. Just be warned that their prices are a little bit on the higher side in my opinion and be prepared for long wait times to receive your order.
