Burmese birthday dinner for my boyfriend in Chinatown! I love that this spot is a bit more elevated…read morethan Dagon by UH but with the same amazing food and service. Anytime I get Burmese food, I always gotta get the tea leaf salad. It's got this amazing umami flavor and I love the bean sprouts that they include here. Our main dishes took a little bit longer to come out but the tea leaf salad was super quick and really held us down. The biryani dish is a must-try with a flakey roti crust on top with rice and your choice of meat inside, we got the lamb! Highly recommend! We also got the nan ghi thoke which is a flat noodle with curry sauce and we got it with chicken! Food is so good and the service and ambiance was amazing.

Now, they answer the phone, are nice on the phone and in person, food was ready fairly quickly. HUGE improvement. Did take out b/c had to work through lunch... Food is still good but portion size has decreased. I don't remember prices so not sure if that changed - $58 for everything. - Tea Leaf Salad still delicious...but maybe about half of what it previously was. - Garlic Fried Rice - yummy, but smaller. That was sitting in oil. Tucked 2 napkins on the side and they both were completely saturated with oil. - Platha and Curry - Platha also very oily. Didn't try the curry but smelled good.

Haven't had Thai food in a while so we voted to come here, especially since Market City parking…read morewasn't too bad. We opted for family style since we wanted to have different things and went for: -Pad see iew with tofu (very flavorful but portion was a bit on the smaller side... I thought they gave more before..) -Papaya salad (crunchy, fresh, and tart) -Sticky rice -Yellow Curry with chicken (delicious & coconut didn't overpower) -House fried chicken (crispy, juicy... and most pieces were boneless). We warmed up a little with the medium spice level papaya salad...and they don't mess around with their spices here. Thai spice is way more of an intense, painful heat than Korean chili peppers (in my opinion!). This dish even made my spice tolerant friend sweat a little but couldn't stop eating because everything was packed with flavor. Service was fast - I would definitely come back here (and maybe bring a jacket). At least I know the AC works here!

Thai restaurant with great lunch special!…read more We got the pad thai with chicken and the lunch special. The lunch special comes with crispy chicken, salad, and your choice of curry - we got green. Everything were amazing and a great portion! We definitely had some leftovers. The lunch special is a bit inconspicuous on the menu so you have to look for it or know about it, but it's definitely worth it! The service was great and it was a cozy shop. One of our favorite Thai restaurants on the island!

Wanted to take a moment to share with everyone the amazing dinner I had at this wonderful Thai/Laos…read morerestaurant on King St. First and foremost wanted to say thank you to Noi, Lisa and their cousin (my apologies for not remembering his name). I was craving whole fried fish. When I searched on Yelp Thai Grinds & Laos Cuisine popped up. Of course I had to take my friend who have traveled extensively through Thailand and Laos along with me. We ordered the fried whole fish along with their garlic Ong Choy and tofu green curry. We also ordered their Thai ice tee. Wow the flavors were as good as any meal I had in Thailand and the price was so reasonably priced. Each and every dish came out quick and was hands down some of the best Thai/Laos dishes I have ever had. Each dish was flavorful, beautiful seasoned and fresh. The fish was perfectly cooked and the sauce was absolutely delicious with a well balance of sweet, sour and savory. The green curry sauce was one of the best green curries I have ever had. Also loved the garlic Ong Choy. We had a chance to get to know the owners who had just opened their doors about 3 months ago. Noi and Lisa were so genuinely kind and showed how much they love the food they prepare but more importantly love the customers they serve. I am truly grateful for their warm hospitality and fabulous meal they provided. They shop for the freshest ingredients daily and are willing to take special requests that's not on the menu in advance. I really hope this place gets all the recognition they deserve and becomes a local favorite. Keep up the great work. I really look forward to our next visit. Mahalo, Daniel Sorry forgot to take pictures but will definitely update with pics on my next visit.

Luckily they were pretty empty so there were a lot of open tables. Waiter was prompt initially. Even suggested getting some orders in before HH was done in 5 min. But then after that he never checked back up. We kept having to flag him down to order drinks and then our food food after the HH food came out. Food menu is pretty small. But what they do have is tasty Drink menu is a lot larger. Though a bunch of liquors are heavily over priced. Fun to see they have a cigar menu. Tables and chairs were pretty comfy. All in all a nice atmosphere unless someone orders the sizzling tataki platter. Then it gets smokey

In my opinion, the best comfort food comes from family-run and operated, hole-in-the-wall eateries…read moreand 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.

Dinner in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. My church aunty likes pho, so I suggested that we go to Pho Old Saigon since we both had never been - even though it opened over six years ago! Located on the corner of Campbell Avenue and Kapahulu Avenue, we kind of knew that parking would be challenging. The small shared lot in the back only has about 8 parking stalls. We found metered street parking in front of Saint Mark's Episcopal Church which is free after 6pm. Service could be better. Maybe English as a second language was the barrier. I was given a soiled spoon - the server walked away after I told her, but I was able to use the fork and disposable chopsticks. We had to ask twice if the bill could be split. That's ok... it eventually got done and we weren't in a rush. I ordered vermicelli with grilled shrimp (which had a nice smokey essence) and Spring Rolls which were crunchy and tasty. It's too bad that some parts of the noodles were clumsy. There was a small dry area, too. However, the veggies were fresh and plentiful! We enjoyed our experience!
