I came here based on positive vegan reviews, but was really let down. The food tasted bland and didn’t seem fresh, and the restaurant itself didn’t feel clean or sanitary.

Good food!

The pho, vermicelli bowl, and banh mi are solid. Ask them about vegan stuff, they’re good about questions even though the menu isn’t detailed about it.

Came to visit Hilo with the family, and this restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and the owner came to greet us and made it feel like a home cooked meal. Thank you for the amazing food and your hospitality

Delicious pho with large portions. The spring rolls with peanut sauce are great; just ask to have them made with tofu. Servers are vegan-aware and can show you how menu items can be made vegan, if you ask.
EDIT: fried tofu is not vegan at this point, due to the batter! double check with your server when ordering

Lunch restaurant on the Big Island one-day tour. The food itself is 3 points. However, this is not a place to eat after taking a 10-hour plane ride to the Big Island of Hawaii (probably due to the economic logic of travel agencies and guides).
Basically, this restaurant is unconvincing considering the economic power of people who come to Hawaii. A better option would be for the tour company to raise the price and go to a better restaurant, or to let people eat on their own. The Subway next door is delicious.

The rice noodles are too salty and the yuringi are too hard.

One of the most unexpectedly delicious and enjoyable meals of our entire Hawaii trip thus far. A must try!!
My parents and I stumbled upon this spot and were absolutely blown away. They ordered a selection of their childhood/home style favourites that you don’t often see at usual Viet restaurants - canh chua (sour soup), ca kho to (braised fish), papaya salad, fried prawn, and I also ordered the oxtail soup. The chef nailed every dish.
Nothing more to say, come here and enjoy for yourself folks.
