    Oxtail pho
    Clifford W.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    Great seafood options, loved the food here whenever I come! Got the snails, scallops, fried rice, and crab!

    * 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.

    $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 loved this place. We came looking for it and followed the signs for the beach entrance. Don't do…read morethat LOL. It's easier to just enter through the front of the Outrigger Hotel. When you come through the beach, you have the option of dining at the bar, which seems to be a totally different experience. The bar serves burgers and other bar foods, and we wanted something a little less casual. After entering through the bar, we ended up having to go to the desk inside. They added my name and took down my phone number to text when the table is ready. This place is huge. There is indoor seating with lots of grass "skirt" trim around some of the ceiling and bars, and the upholstery of the dining chairs are different colorful aloha prints. On the deck there are think torches and umbrellas and string lights. On the level just a few steps down are more umbrella tables and some musicians playing Hawaiian music. All around are photos of the famous Olympic champion, surgery, and actor Duke Kahanamoku. Much to my surprise, as I was looking around while waiting for a table, a girl asked if I was Denise. They didn't text me; rather, they jot down a brief description so they can just look around and find you. She sat us on the beach deck. Our server was fantastic, so friendly with lots of explanations and recommendations. They use an ordering system and it's fun like a week liked machine. Hubby's beer was delivered to our table before our server even walked away! We both ordered the teriyaki sirloin steak with mashed potatoes. It. Was. Freaking. Delicious. I was full, but couldn't stop eating because it was so good. Dukes is really a place where you know you are in Hawaii--the decor, the food, the music, the friendly service. If you come to Honolulu and don't come to Duke's, you'll be missing out.

    The last time I visited Duke's, it was a pretty chill experience, but now not so much. If you do…read morenot know the backstory of Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, visit their web page or do an AI thing. he lived a very full life. So, Duke's is now located right on the beach inside the Outrigger Hotel. How many of these darn Outrigger's are there in Waikiki? These guys got it down pat. No shoes, no shirt, no worries. At the bar, the service is excellent. Even when they are slammed, you can have a conversation with the barkeeps. Their craft cocktails are on point. A must order is the Duke's Mai Tai, their signature cocktail made with fresh Hawaiian juices & two types of rum. Surprisingly, they offer a breakfast, lunch, and dinner prime rib buffet. We just ordered off the menu. Surprise number two, the food is excellent. We ordered the Duke's Nachos with kalua pork. Our nachos arrived piled high with black beans, jalapeños, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and Colby-Jack cheese, and of course, shredded pork. A local ice-cold draft beer was a perfect accompaniment. They did have live music one early evening, and the place was rockin' You can make a reservation online, and if you want a sit-down experience, make a reservation. We made a reservation for an early lunch, and we were able to easily secure two seats at the bar.

The lobster itself was super fresh and the texture is great. You can taste the freshness from the food and you know that the lobster is not previously frozen. Although the price is close to $80 for one lobster roll, the portion is huge. It can easily feed 2 adults. We enjoyed our experience overall but will opt for the smaller option next time haha

All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun. They have 4 "sizes" that they serve on a toasted brioche bun (~6 inch bun): - The Regular (3.5 oz)**: $36.99 - The Popular (5 oz)**: $49.99 - The Big One (7 oz)**: $62.99 - The Maine Event (1/2 lb (8 oz)): $74.99 **You can also ask for extra 1.5 oz lobster meat to this size for $13.99. You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.

    This was our last night here in Oahu. I wanted to do something special, we had gone twice to Duke's…read morerestaurant and enjoyed it but wanted to do something different. Chat gpt recommended this place and I have to say the AI was right! The place is really fun. You can park downstairs and they valet Park you and they will stamp you for free parking. The atmosphere is a fun vibe. They had live music. It's a indoor outdoor place. One thing to note, they don't serve their lunch menu after 4:00 so we went there expecting burgers and they don't serve them. So we kind of stayed reluctantly. I ended up ordering the guava ribs and my wife got them too. Those had to be the best ribs I think I have ever had! They literally fall off the bone as you're trying to pick up the meat. One of the reasons we wanted to go here was we wanted the options of seafood but one of our adults doesn't like seafood and they said that they had all kinds of stuff, which they do. Our server Maka, was incredible. He brings us out a free appetizer and said that was from the chef. I don't know if it was the chef or him but I was impressed and it was good. It was some kind of little fried dumpling. It was awesome! One of the people in our party had thought he was not going to order something and I gave him one of my ribs and after he tasted it, suddenly he wanted some too. I grabbed Maka and asked him If he could get those ribs fast because the rest of us were already halfway through our meals. He got right on it and had that order in. The ribs came out just in time and everybody was happy. It ended up being one of the nicest meals that we had the whole week. We were here and it was a great way to end our vacation here in Hawaii.

We were dying to go back this trip and sad to say, we left disappointed. The whole vibe changed from a fun Hawaiian restaurant to a yuppie upscale restaurant... however they still have the live music, which was a nice. The atmosphere was nice too. The menu items were minimal and surprising to us, none looked appealing. We did get a couple of appetizers, which were good... and a few samplers from the chef which were the best thing we had. But overall, is was a waste of money - and a lot of it!- I will share a positive though, the crème brûlée served in the bottom of a pineapple was delicious! It had a tangy, sweetness of pineapple that was delicious, as well as beautiful! Overall, not the same Tiki's. We did eat at food trucks and little hole in the wall places that had food that was better. Skip the bougie restaurants and go straight to the food trucks and little restaurants. Tip: ask the locals were the good food is. They will tell you it is for sure not at restaurants like these.... We asked.
