    The noodle pull
    Irene M.

    Soup cravings... Unfortunately I've never been to their downtown location and yes I've tried luckily they are a regular at the Honolulu Farmers Market at the Blaisdell Concert Hall lawn every Wednesday 4pm-7pm which you're instantly able to see right off South King Street and parking is completely free so it's a easy choice to support these local small biz here. Giving my favorite places the once weekly love the gloomy weather has me craving something hot and comforting and decided on The Pig and the lady as they do have Pho and there wasn't any line which was quite unheard of so I took it as a sign and opportunity to finally give them a try. Their setup is quite nice with a bowl of what each dish consists of and with detailed description of each dish is going beyond to answer any questions or confusion anyone may have and decided on "Pho Ga" and "Tofu Banh Mi" for mom, you're given a number and pick up is on a designated table so you're able to grab utensils and napkins is a really great convenience though I do advise for you to bring your own bag as their giant brown bag was a struggle to carry. Everything was packed perfectly with the noodles was packed separate from the soup which was covered in plastic wrap making it secure is a very appreciated touch for the ride home and I was so excited and hungry after a long work week. The first thing I had try is the soup...woah! At first it was wasp of herb and flavor beyond anything I've had and I wasn't sure at first though once I was about to add the noodles I was horrified the amount of onions and green onions it was topped with knowing it was in there didn't think it would be that much and yes it's a personal thing I shouldn't asked to omit that lol! Once I was ready to go I was in complete love with it all and how the noodles had a great bite and didn't fall apart on me it had a bit of texture that picks up the yummy fragrant broth that I was in complete heaven. Mom enjoyed her sandwich it was filled with so much veggies and the tofu was more like aburage and you have a choice to go with or without mayo I decided to go without as everything on the sammie was perfect just way it is. This comforting meal was the perfect decision and you can taste all the work that goes in to it all and before long I was in food coma. Thank you!

    Pho French dip
    Amelia W.

    Love the brick and mortar store but came to the farmers market to try the pho French dip and did not disappoint! Bread is soft with crunchy but not too hard crust, brisket is tender and the soup dip makes it so good! The Vietnamese coffee was strong and real good - just a tad pricy at $6 but I guess that's the going rate for coffee these days unfortunately

    Buddha Stew Vegan
    C L.

    I tried the vegan Buddha Stew. It could have been good but it was too salty. Also I only had 2 pieces of bean curd. Mostly carrots and daikon. I like daikon but would have been nice to have more bean curd since thats the protein. The dish was really mushy so I'm assuming it was a couple days old or overcooked. The rice was delicious. I think they top it with ginger scallions.

    Oxtail Soup
    Ronna I.

    We went to The Pig & The Lady stand at the KCC Farmers' Market at Kapi'olani Community College. The line was long but moved fairly fast. I had the beef short ribs plate and my husband had the oxtail soup. They gave ample food. The oxtail soup was loaded with several pieces. I'm not sure what type of rice I got but it was a little too mushy for me. The flavor of the beef was on the bland side but still good. You could taste the beef flavor. If you eat there, they have a small table area, and they help make a spot for you if it's crowded. When you place your order, you have to say that you are eating there for them to help you find a spot. The staff person who helped me was super friendly and very helpful.

    Was at Blaisdell yesterday for vaccination so I thought I'd pick up dinner to go at the farmer's market (and since I don't usually come here). I've heard many good things abt TP&TL. Been meaning to try but I didn't want to wait in line in Chinatown and the KCC farmers market booth was always packed. I guess one positive of COVID and social distancing is everyone like me who don't like to wait in line or squeeze with strangers get to try these usually busy stalls. The first thing I noticed was the potent and delicious scent of the pho broth. I didn't want to risk spilling soup during the drive home though. They had a lot of options to choose from so we settled on brisket curry and pork belly banh mi. The food was tasty but we weren't wowed by it like so many other reviews. The brisket curry came with one medium-sized piece of brisket propped up by giant chunks of potato and carrot. It was very tender though. The curry was dense in flavor. The pork belly seasoning is almost lemongrass-y which I enjoy and I really liked the pickled carrots and daikon and cucumber and cilantro but not the fatty belly bits. You're probably wondering why I got the pork belly if I don't like fatty bits. Coz it was for the hubs haha I stole a bite to taste! Maybe we didn't order the right items. They're a tad pricey too (average $15) but I'm happy to support local businesses, esp at these back-breaking and exhausting pop up events. The young lady who took our order was friendly and patient.

    Beware if peanut allergy. The sign had listed the ingredients so I assumed it was complete but it did not list peanut. Anyway got the food and it had peanut. Went back to the booth to ask about it and why it wasn't listed. They basically didn't care and just said yah it has peanut.

    For this month, vendors are located by Blaisdell Concert Hall. They are at Blaisdell Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The staff makes the food right there so food is fresh. There is a great selection on the menu. I haven't been to the Pig and the Lady but went to Piggy Small at Ward Centers. My order was Clay Pot Pork Belly and Shrimp with yellow rice.

    bún thang
    Dante H.

    I remember trying pig and the lady for my 18th birthday, and getting excited to come back after I could start drinking. Unfortunately, no bar at this farmer's market pop up, but the food was as good as I recall. I tried the bún thang after seeing it on their instagram. After maybe 15 minutes it was ready and I tried it at home (I accidentally poured some of my brother's pro broth in before I poured the correct one so take this with a grain of salt). THis was a very refreshing dish with light flavors. The soup was a little sweet, with a kind of citrusy and shrimp aftertaste, kind of like a sweeter yuzu shio ramen. There were thin strips of chicken, ham, and egg and a few vegetables as well. The noodles were thin and soaked up the broth. The flavors were very comforting and familiar, and were great on a windy night. This got me hooked to coming to this farmers market. A few weeks later I got the brisket curry. Super tender beef and lovely curry but it might've given me food poisoning. I'll probably still come back though.

    Guava & Pork Salad
    Richard A.

    Guava roast pork and watermelon was just delicious. It had dried noodles and a very light dressing. The pork was very good and they had crispy pork skin that added to the many flavors. Something different and delicious.

    Anybody know their names?
    Feb W.

    It's a pig! As much as I try to stay away from pork meat it's not simply as that. When you got a husband who's carnivorous it's more harder. But yeah, we ended up eating lunch in here. ~ I forgot the names of our order (just refer photo attached) but sure enough we won't forget how delectable it is. Meat is dang so tender! Tender than your relationship. I so love the broth too! T'was complexly flavorful and whatever herbs they put on it, t'was very potent. And because its potency, a little amount goes a long way. The server told us that they allowed 12-hours of boiling to marries all the flavors together. No wonder, we, the bandits love it so much! We also ordered a sandwich! Which is also good and the filling is so flavorful and fresh because of the vegetables they put on it. ~ Price is reasonable. People are in queue too! Few tables and seats are available so if you want to have a space, better do that ninja moves! Just like what I did actually. Hahaha ~ Should I come back? Definitely! As long as my bandit is willing to drive me up to KCC Farmers Market. . . . Mahalo and HAPPY JUANDERING fellow yelpers!

    Love!! Love!! Love!! My No Yoga day Wednesday = Pig-out day!! First time The Pig and the Lady at Honolulu Farmers Market, nice setting on the lawn area and nice plenty seating spaces compare to KCC Farmers market. Parking was easy to find and it has shade! Big Plus+++ *PHO FRENCH DIP - Amazing!! Always my favorite!! *BRISKET PHO - DELICIOUS!!! 12hr roast brisket is soooo delish!! I like put little bit of their special chili sauce!! (Caution: do not bite chilies!)

    I've never been a fan of Vietnaese food. The combination of seasonings that they use just don't turn me on. But then The Pig and the Lady came along and turned my life upside down. Well, sort of. I still won't walk into a Vietnamese restaurant, but, I will eat at The Pig and the Lady at the Farmers Markets. Their food is predominantly Vietnamese but they put their personal touches on every dish they make, thereby giving Vietnamese food a whole new meaning. My most favorite offering of theirs is the Le Banh Me French Dip w/pho au jus. It's almost as long as a 12 inch Subway sandwich, and it's so good that it's hard not to eat the whole thing in one sitting (although I like to eat half at the market and save the second half for the next day's lunch). They toast the bread onsite, so it's very crispy and light. A definite winner and I hope they keep it on the menu as a regular item. For dessert, their toast with homemade coconut dulce de leche is divine. I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life. Catch these guys every Wednesday at the Blaisdell, Thursdays in Kailua or Saturdays at KCC.

    We found this vendor at the Honolulu Farmer's Market at in front of the NBC. I'm a fan of vietnamese food, and their food is ok, but different from other restaurants I've been to: Pandan Claypot Chicken - 3 stars - My younger son actually wanted this because it looked good, but he could not eat it because for $9.50, the chicken was very soft, and they added drumsticks for him, but we didn't know that there's a kick of chili pepper taste that slightly permeated in our mouth. A good size portion, but the rice and chicken didn't have as much taste as I was expecting like other vietnamese restaurants. I didn't care for the pickled vegetables either. It was a little too strong in flavor to me. Stuffed Tofu - 3 stars - For $5 I got a bowl of 2 stuffed tofu with rice. It was supposed to come with pickled vegetable, but they forgot to add that in when I opened the bowl to eat , and it was too late to tell them since I was not at the market anymore, so I missed out on that. The stuffed tofu was different, but the sauce tasted like a basic tomato sauce instead of with spices. There was a long line for this vendor, and people had to wait 10 - 20 minutes for their order. They knew I was in a rush, so they were really nice to rush my order by the time I had to leave, but I think because they rushed my order, they forgot my pickled vegetables. Was pretty neat to watch the guy frying the meat in the tent. I have to try some of their other dishes to give them a better review .

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!

    if i could rate this place 1000+ stars i absolutely would. my bf and i have been coming to thuong…read morean lac for years now and this place has nestled it's way deep into our heart and will forever stay there. it's not just how amazing the food is, which that speaks for itself, but the owners are some of the sweeeetest people i've ever met. they really know how to make you feel welcome. even though no one really speaks english here, it's all good energy, trust. i still remember the very first time we came here, when we tried their water, our eyes went wide! my bf n i both looked at each other like "whatttt, this is complimentary water???" it's kangen water infused with pandan and trust me, it's sooo good. their pho is the best vegan pho i've ever had! they have a good variety of plant based meats and are pretty generous with their portions too. this quaint, homey and cozy little restaurant located in the market place of chinatown holds it's own. the ambience feels like stepping into your vietnamese aunty's home or if a buddhist prayer temple had a side restaurant this would be it. we love thuong an lac!! thank you for serving our community by bringing us cruelty free, yummy foods!!! cảm ơn :)

    If you're looking for vegan pho in Hawaii, this is the place to go. There aren't many vegan pho…read morespots on the island, and this is easily the best I've had. It's tucked away in the entrance of Chinatown Market, making it a true hidden gem. My favorite is the "beef" noodle soup. The broth is incredibly rich and flavorful--you'd never guess it's completely vegan. I also highly recommend the taro spring rolls, which are crispy, delicious, and the perfect appetizer. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so it may not be able to accommodate larger groups. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. As someone who loves noodle soup, I appreciate being able to enjoy such a satisfying meal while knowing it's entirely plant-based. I'll definitely be back!

    Pho Time is our go-to pho spot in Central Oahu when we're craving pho and don't want to drive into…read moretown. We tried the BBQ pork summer rolls. They only come with two, but they're huge. I'm usually more of a spring roll person, but these were so good and something I'd definitely order again. I had the brisket pho, and my boyfriend got the beef and flank pho. Both were delicious, and the broth was flavorful and comforting. I'm pretty particular about Thai tea, but theirs is always really good. The restaurant is small and fills up quickly. The service is always good and the food comes out fast. If you're in the Aiea area and looking for a solid pho spot, Pho Time is worth a visit!

    My husband and I were really craving some Pho/Banh Mi and thought that we would try something other…read morethan our usual and Pho Time seemed like the perfect fit based on photos we saw on their online ordering system. While the servers were nice, we did order ahead of time and showed up when the Beluga app (where we ordered off of) told us to show up, but I ended up waiting 15 minutes at the restaurant later than I was supposed to get my food. Additionally, the staff seemed to forget I was sitting/waiting for my food. My suspicion is that the online ordering service isn't actively monitored and our order wasn't started until I actually showed up to the restaurant to pick up our food at the designated time. The food was okay for us. I'm a big Banh Mi fan and was looking forward to eating their Combination Banh Mi, but unfortunately the Banh Mi seemed a little rushed in preparation and lacked flavor. My husband on the other hand, ordered their Combination Pho and it absolutely did not disappoint. Although their Banh Mi was not as delicious and flavorful as I expected, their Pho was the exact opposite of that. They give you a generous amount of broth and their portions of greens was beyond enough (maybe a little bit too much for one serving). The last food item to talk about are their Spring Rolls. 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.
