I’m so sad to hear you will close! I have been coming in for take out 10 years. It’s my favorite food if I go downtown Kona. My husband and my first date we ordered here and had a picnic. Thank you and your ohana for the good times and good food. Balé, we will miss you ❤️ mahalo!!!

? So delicious that we went back a second time during our trip. Loved their pho, banh mi, thai tea boba and ube tapioca pudding! Omnivore friendly and for vegans ? - this is also a vegan friendly spot with tofu, mushroom broth and non-dairy as options. Thought would mention given the limited number of vegan options on the Big Island.Sad to learn they will be closing in Mid May after 23 years in business due to the strip mall space being developed. Highly recommend going to have...

They make a vegan pho which is DELICIOUS. Their meat items are also excellent.Other Vietnamese options like sandwiches, Bun (noodle salad) and regular pho also available.Good prices. Unassuming local family business
