Super good!

We got a lunch plate and the fish banh mi. Everything was a little bare bones but really delicious. No frills all thrills.

Fantastic!

We tried the vermicelli bowl with tofu and the spring rolls, both were excellent. We arrived around 1 pm and multiple things were sold out, so I recommend going on the earlier side. The staff were all very nice! My only suggestion would be to play some music since it was a little too quiet.

Everything here tastes great

Amazing coffee, great fried rice, sar chiu, and curry. I could eat the tofu patties any day, also amazing! Lots of space, everything is homemade.

Pros: Great taste, lots of flavor, All homemade, Good price

Cons: Maybe more dessert options, Limited opening hours

Must eat at this Vegan shop.

The food is the best vegan food I’ve had. Great menu with something for everyone. I want to go back and try more things.
Get whatever you want then also get a tofu sandwich. Take it home and eat it later if you want. You won’t regret it. My daughter called it “life changing”.
Prices very reasonable. Portions generous. Staff very friendly and helpful. I’m in Waikoloa area and now planning another trip soon to Hilo.

Pros: Amazing service. , Food is the best , Great chill atmosphere

Cons: The only con is it’s 4000 miles from where I live., Get there early, they may sell out of some items

Very good and filling

I got the lunch plate, and it was a lot of food for a pretty decent price. Everything I had was a bit spicy, and ordering and paying was kind of confusing (you pay after you eat if you eat it there).

Cons: They are closed on Sunday and Mondays, They can run out of food

Incredible

I was hesitant to eat the soy meat/pork belly because it was so meaty! However, the owner assured us he has been vegan for 30 years and he has just learned how to work the tofu. Food is indulgent and delicious. The Bao bun was so light and fluffy. Absolutely incredible place.

Pros: Delicious , Large portions , Awesome owner

Best Pho so Far!

This place has the BEST Pho I have had in years. Even when I reheated it for left overs, it was still delicious. Come here and get some food! The portions are large and the prices are great!

Cool Vegan Vietnamese Place

Has a lunch counter with some precooked options for combination plates and also a cook to order menu.

I was there on the late side for lunch so had the only three things left and forget note what they were but all were tasty! Their protein options are all soy based vs gluten based but many dishes have soy sauce so not totally gluten free.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Large and spacious seating area.

Pros: Super friendly staff, Good sized menu, Spacious, air conditioned seating area

Super Friendly Staff, but Food Was Disappointing

I was very excited about trying this place, since I absolutely love Vietnamese food. Everyone was super nice when we entered the restaurant. We ordered spring rolls, eggless patties, Broken Rice plate & a bao. The food was brought out to us, but it was al cold. No one in the previous reviews stated that the food was cold. It looks like they precook everything which is fine but nothing was reheated. We were really disappointed.

Pros: Friendly staff , Nice space

Cons: Not even room temperature food

Amazing yummy food

On an island with not many options, this was such a nice find for us. Wonderful friendly owner, lots of yummy options. I took some Bao buns as a takeaway and ate them with my Vietnamese friend who said they were great! She is also a massive foodie, so that is a big testament to the quality and flavour of the food.
I would go here again and again!

Pros: Yummy food, Lots of options, Good price

Yummy food, nice staff.

Arrived here a little before close and they weren’t going to cook anything fresh, but they went out of their way to get us a soy curl dish and steamed rice that was very good.
