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?

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 .

You got to have the gourmet porridge and the pho French dip sandwich, I really believe these two items are on my top 10 best items I've ever eaten in my life. There is so much love put into their cooking that you simply can taste it with each savory bite. Their staff is always super friendly and sometimes it can be a little wait. Hey, that's what happens when you have kick-ass food that everyone wants to eat. If you haven't eaten at The Pig and The Lady, then you gotta run there and try it. It's amazing!

So many choices!

Do they cook with msg?

I'm sure some of their broths have msg but not too much because when I leave I am not thirsty.

5-15/26 @10:45am or five minutes after 11am…read more ... anyway let's put it this way if I was to go back over there the one thing that I will be getting more of is the japanese andagi. ... I've seen this place so many times and I've even been to their neighbor which is the rainforest cafe- (exceptional Italian cream soda / like egg soda) I love the Lilikoi tart they have there. This time I actually went to get something and didn't realize they do sell "Andagi" I also bought a small thing of okinawin yakisoba. And two pieces of sweet mochi Truly not a disappointment. In fact this has that very open Okazuya style of takeout most times it does have order ahead in there were a few people before I bought my food that had larger orders to pick up so it is recommended that you call them ahead of time. They're very gracious people that work in there they're very kind. They're very courteous and they're very quick with the order. I don't believe I saw the yakisoba in the menu, but I seen it when I got to the window and the mochi ball and Andagi are very close to the counter window I highly recommend anyone who is in and around the area for a quick grab on a local favorite of a Japanese doughnut to come to this spot because the andagi- is much to appreciate it's one of these things that we know here in Hawaii to have that nice texture, The nice first crisp bite into the donut and then it leads into that delicious sweet cake doughnut part in the middle what we know as a Japanese donut, this carries its respected delightful reality... stop by this place because for $1.00 a piece... it's a crowd pleaser... I should have bought 10 of those things.. it's delicious when fresh and they keep really well into the end of the day.. Also I would definitely go back for the yakisoba the way it's made is delicious and I am one of those people that loves a good entrée that won't have meat or sometimes not even a hint of meat and this noodle dish is very good. I love how the vegetables were intertwined into the noodles sort of just not perfectly chopped, but it is tangled into the noodles as if it was another soba noodle- the carrots, spring onions, and if you see the accompanying picture- cabbage & or chopped boy choy. Thank you Teruya's Andagi. I will return

And on one of my last walk in Waikiki, I got on of his hotdogs. John and his staff were incredibly welcoming. He's originally from Philly, and as someone from the East Coast, I immediately felt that warm hospitality. John is so sweet, he even offered me the hot dog on the house... completely unexpected, but a true reflection of John's demeanor. I went with the chicken hot dog "John style" (well that is everything but the sauerkraut). I wasn't hesitate about the mustard because I'm usually not a fan but the staff insisted it was more like Dijon mustard anyways. The hotdog was loaded, flavorful, and way better than I expected for someone who usually keeps it simple with the toppings. The bun broke down a bit from all the toppings, but that was to be expected with all the toppings loaded on there. You can't beat the location, it's right outside the Ilikai by the lagoon though the service alone makes this an easy five stars. I'm really happy this ended up being one of my last food experiences living in Hawaii. I'd be eager to see John and his staff again if I return.
