"The best photo we had. I left my usual gluten-free diet to try it very well. We'll go to dinner again. Kid friendly, owner (can also be offered to add Veggies instead of noodles for me next time. Update 2022: We had to go back to get the Pho. Did not think it could be better, but it did: the chicken pho is still my fave, the medium was more than much! Chicken Curry was enjoyed by the others. Noodles with bbq pork was great for children. We went back the next day to get a Banh mi, Pho for me with extra veggies. Julie the owner is so sweet and remembered us last year. So happy to see that this fantastic little family running place do well. Mahalo for the great food."

"This is such a great place for all things vegan! We found some vegan chocolates and chips that are not available in any of the big box stores. Your Deli is the next step! Quite anything on the menu can be made vegan and its ordering system allows all kinds of adjustments. In our week-long stay in Oahu we probably had 5 meals here. Some of the things we tried and absolutely loved Grilled Cheese, Mediterranean Panini, Pitaya Bowl, Quesadilla, Mexican Burrito. They also have fresh juices, shakes and an extensive salad and a hot bar. Compared to how expensive food in Oahu, food here is very economical and tasty as well."

"Update! We tried 5 other shaving ice places and this was the best!!! I went twice and my parents went three times. We wanted to press it again before we left, but we had to make family photos. I have Guava, Lilikoi and coconut for the second time with cream. Absolutely delicious! And the owner even remembered our names after we praised him for his business. When we get back to Oahu, this is definitely on our list. I will refer the duck from this place!!! Here's a 10! Smooth ice cream. I have the La Donna(Pina colada and coconut). The taste was on point!"

"Warm, friendly and welcoming staff. We were seated and served quickly, including drinks — and at the same time we were asked if we wanted chopsticks, which was a tad strange as we hadn’t even seen the menu yet………… That aside, our server was super awesome in helping us better understand some of the unfamiliar menu items and recommending certain dishes to us. I changed my mind a couple of times on what I wanted, but the chef (yes, not just the server! was so helpful and gracious in supporting me with some allergies and dietary restrictions. In the end I went for the chicken and it was THE BEST chicken I had during my 2 weeks in Oahu: super tender, hot and DELICIOUS. And my husband’s Moani fried rice was massive!!!!!! He also said, “The smoked meat is amazing!”. This place is definitely local and it was great to have proper Hawaiian food after we’d been eating typical “American” food for the first few days of our trip. Sadly, we missed seeing the live music that started at 6pm. This place does lose one star from me because we ordered two drinks during the happy hour, but because they didn’t actually bring the second one to our table until AFTER the happy hour finished, they charged us full price for it."
