“I haven't been here in years. And it is exactly as I remember it. The weight is short don't let the line overwhelm you. The food is great. The only negative that I experience was the flies were flying on the ketchup bottle and the Shoyu bottles. A few times the fly landed on my husband's water cup. Plus the type of music they play was a very disturbing.“
“One of the best and most original ramen I have ever had! It is not a traditional Japanese ramen restaurant but more an Asian fusion one. The menu offers several options out of the ramen and some original ones such as the mapo tofu ramen. It was an amazing combo of two delicious Asian specialties. It was generous, not too spicy and fulfilling. The service was very fast after we ordered, we did not have to wait long to eat. Must to try if you want to enjoy some unique ramen“
“I've been to Hawaii twice, and I've eaten here 11 times. It's the best udon I've ever had. The portions are well sized and there are several options and sides. The staff is incredibly hospitable. The price is fair for the quality and amount of food. I will be coming back every time I visit this beautiful island.Parking: Paid parking is around the area, but not directly where the restaurant isWheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible, it's on the ground floor“
“The best service and family. Small business with a big heart. Opel and Lio were very attentive to our family, while Aoy along with the rest of the staff prepared our meal. Great food, great atmosphere, wonderful people. Praying the family is doing well. Can't wait to visit again the next time in in Honolulu.“
“Food was great, the restaurant family was very friendly and patient with our picky 5 year old water. Grandma brought out a bunch of things for him to try, she was so kind and thoughtful. Also, come hungry or expect to bring home a lot of leftovers... The pork dishes we ordered came in very generous portions, I could only put away about half of my crispy pork belly before I hit my food wall.“
“For some reason since the pandemic the price of Pho has skyrocketed. I mean everything has gone up in price, but pho seems to have gone up more than any other food. Pre pandemic, it was about $11. Now, if you're lucky its $16. My usual Pho place, Pho Tri on Kalakaua and Beretania had a special on Saturdays. Buy one bowl at about $11, get the second one for 50% off. Two people could dine for $20. After discontinuing this offer, they raised the price up to $16 meaning the cost had gone from $17 to $32. I stopped going there and stopped eating Pho as a result. For $16 you can still get a fresh caught fish plate at Nico's which to me represents much better value.Anyway I still get the urge to eat Pho and this place was convenient with excellent reviews.We got one Rare Steak and Meatball Pho ($17) and one Seafood Pho ($17.50).I would say everything was average. My dining partner said the broth was too oily. It didn't bother me too much. Size was average, amount of protein was average, amount of garnishments was average, taste was average. Everything is what you'd expect.Service was good. Water was refilled, and whom I presume were the owners were friendly. I think the price is a little high, but its a small restaurant and they need to make a living. I would go back if I wanted Pho and didn't want to drive. Some places in Chinatown, the taste and portion size is a little bit better and the prices are a couple bucks less.“
“Ordered the wagyu beef set, chicken, and salad. The draft beer is super dry and the food is delicious. I wouldn't say it was like the old Yakiniku Hiroshi, but it was good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's just a little hard to find the place.“
“This may be the best Thai we've ever had. We got the Ono Appetizer Combo (fish patties, spring rolls, chicken satay), Tom Kha soup, and Pad Ki Maow (drunken noodles).The satay, even before the delicious peanut sauce, was the best I've ever had. Very well-seasoned, and a nice bit of crispiness at the edges without being overcooked.The sauces and additional vegetables (lettuce leaves, cucumber, Thai basil, shredded cabbage) in the appetizer combo added delightful mixtures of texture and flavor.The Tom Kha soup (we got it with tofu) was full of veggies. Green beans, mushrooms, carrots, zucchini. It was a hearty and typically tasty soup.The drunken noodles (we also got them with tofu) were great. They were a bit spicy (as we were warned beforehand) for a typical American palate, but very tasty. The veggies, tofu, eggs, and noodles were all cooked quickly at high heat, which meant there was lots of yummy textures and colors in the dish. Broccoli, green beans, Thai basil, and carrots were perfectly cooked - brightly colorful and yielding, but still snappy. The tofu and noodles were crispy at some of the edges and softer in the center, which led to each mouthful remaining interesting in flavor as well as texture.I found myself saying "mmm" a lot during this meal. I'm so glad we stopped by.Vegetarian options: Tofu is a consistently available option for protein in the meal choices. I can't speak to whether food is prepared with vegetarian or vegan considerations in mind.“
“My family and I love this place! Sakana fries and sakana salmon sooo ono!! We went in on a Friday night a little before 8pm and the server told us kitchen was about to close! It was so nice of them to still take us in! We were so happy and our tummy's were too! Mahalo agian sakanas for awesome service and ono food!! We will be back!“

“This is the best place for pho & banh mi on the west side 100%. The pho broth is so rich & flavorful, banh mi baguette is perfectly crispy, yet soft with amazing fillings of bbq flavors & crispy veggies. They also give you a side of broth, which is a nice touch. I’ve tried so many Vietnamese spots on the west side, and this place is hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant. Truly a hidden gem.“
“Walking in on a Thursday early dinner 5 o clock hour and it was completely empty, soon after it was popping though but from what I observed, everyone was taken care of right away. Happy with the portions plated, the Bahn mi bread was great! Not so chewy, crispy and yummy. Contents in the sandwich was well spread too, I liked adding the papaya salad into the sandwich... the more the merrier. Would come again!“

“Today I ordered the tofu salad with sesame dressing. I was totally impressed. There was not one wilted vegetable in that salad. Amazing! The dressing was great. I will go back there again. The gentleman working was so polite and had a great personality. Thank you for such a perfect salad. Good job!..Charlene NobrigaVegetarian options: The most important thing is the freshness and good quality of the vegetables. I couldn’t find one wilted vegetable. To me that’s impressive.“
“We were tired from a day of hiking and couldn’t decide where to eat. We thought Filipino food would be homey and just hit the spot for us. Googled and this was the closest from where we were. Closing time was 8:30 and we’d get there by 8pm. We decided we’d take out food so we didn’t bother them too much. But when we got there, we were greeted with warmth and love. We said we didn’t want to bother them but they insisted we dined in. Food was great and fresh.We even ordered takeout for breakfast. I’d recommend this place.“
“Came here on a Saturday late afternoon with my sister. The restaurant was empty except for us. My sister chose the ponzu broth and I chose the cream peanut broth. The latter was ok, but the ponzu was delicious. I will order that next time I go. They bring out plates of thinly sliced meat to your table and you go up to a buffet style table to get your veggies, fish balls, and sauces. The fish balls, chicken balls, fried tofu and veggies were all good. Ok selection. I liked that they offered tofu skin, grated daikon and minced garlic. The sauces weren't really labeled so I just tried some of each. The spicy ponzu sauce was my favorite. The only thing I wished they had was Goma sauce and cilantro. LolBut really everything we tried was good and I would come back again.“
“My recent Food to go experience at this Thai restaurant left me eager to share my glowing review. The service at King of thai boat noodles restaurant was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to cater to our every need. The restaurant boasts a diverse menu that caters to various dietary preferences and restrictions. With vegetarian and meat options readily available, everyone can indulge in the culinary delights of Thailand without compromise. If you're craving an authentic taste of Thailand coupled with unparalleled hospitality, look no further than King of Thai Boat Noodles. It's a culinary gem that deserves to be celebrated and savored time and time again.“
“This place is amazing if your avid ramen lover. The food here is great especially their broth. The service there was great and the lady that served us was very kind. Also the place itself was very clean and pleasant. Would definitely go back with more people.“
