    Lemongrass chicken Banh Mi
    Jenn N.

    I had been wanting to try this place for years. I crossed my fingers that it would be open as we made our way across the island. I felt a grin emerge as we turned into the parking lot & all signs pointed toward success. The lemongrass chicken Banh Mi is to die for. She asked if I liked it spicy, yes please. The thin slices of fresh jalapenos made the sandwich dance. The chicken is tender, the veggies are crisp and the sauce is spot on. After hikes around the boiling pots & Akaka falls, I was pretty hungry. I took the lovingly made sandwich over to coconut island and happily ate it in-between passing sprinkles, while I watched the keiki jump off of the rock tower into the ocean. I will always try to stop by when passing through or staying on the Hilo side.

    Owned by a kind Vietnamese woman. We talked to her as she tended to the basil she grows herself. Cash only. Heads up. She pointed us to an ATM in the gas station a 5 min walk away The breakfast banh mi had ketchup and bacon. I'm not strict for authenticity, but imo doesn't go great. The pork lemongrass banh mi was much better, worth adding the pate

    Cute little food truck off the beaten track. Saw this on DDD. We arrived after the lunch rush after 2pm and we were the only ones there. The lady in the truck was friendly and there are a few tables under cover with a cool fish painting. We walked from our hotel nearby. The spring rolls were great. Pork lemongrass and bacon pate banh mi sandwiches were both really tasty too, albeit a little spicy (we asked for medium but they were HOT). The Thai ice tea with coconut milk helped cool it down. A filling, cheap lunch!

    As seen on DDD! It is truly a little lot off the road next to the park entrance. There is a pizza truck and coffee truck there too that may or may not be open. We ordered the lemon grass chicken bahn mi, and it lived up to the reputation! $9 in August of 23. All of the components were treated right, thus creating a symphony on the palette. One of the best foods I've had on the island visit fir sure.. We could have sat at the covered tables but instead headed just up the road to Coconut Island. Would I go back? Yes! Probably get some spring rolls too.

    Bored of studying, I went browsing for food places on Yelp and stumbled upon this page. Another banh mi place! Especially with the option of having pate (liver)! I definitely had to try it out. It's located next to the Ponds restaurant (left of it) and across of Big Island Motors in a vacated lot. I doubt there would ever be any parking trouble in a big lot with only one food truck present. When I went up to the truck, I didn't see any other menu besides the banh mi menu but there were a couple of people off to the side eating something similar to a plate lunch. But my friend and I were mainly there for the banh mi, which worked out fine. We both ordered the pork lemongrass banh mi in addition to a chicken lemongrass banh mi and a breakfast banh mi for two of our friends. We also got three thai teas. The owner was super nice in accommodating to our order requests. Because she was a one-man worker, my friend and I waited on the side, admiring the cute little campsite set up. The sandwiches looked filling! I was super excited to try it after taking the mandatory pic of the foods. Not a fan of parsley, so it took a while before I got into my first bite. The lemongrass marinade was a really saucy kind of marinade, which I didn't expect when biting into my sandwich. It was almost like BBQ sauce (not the taste). The bite didn't wow me, but it was definitely good. The pate accompanied the meat and sauce well. But it wasn't a really memorable experience. I really liked how generous the portions of meat and pate were. The same went for the thai tea. Large size cup of thai tea with coconut cream. That was really unique. I don't think I mixed it well enough because the first half of the drink was really good with a blend of coconut and tea but the last half was all weird coconut liquid with barely any tea... Loved the portions tho! Seeing that the owner is such a nice hard worker, I definitely recommend checking this place to support local businesses. The price is super reasonable too!

    Pork Banh Mi

    Ordered the spicy pork banh mi and spring rolls. Wasn't too impressed with the banh mi and it definitely had no spicyness. The bread was risky which was the highlight but the pork looked like pieces of steak and want seasoned very well. The spring rolls were doggy and not very flavorful. For the price is rather go to kings for a proper banh mi but that's me.

    Very tasty Bahn Mi! The women working were so sweet as well. Would recommend a stop at this quaint little truck.

    Hawaiian Shrimp Company - Steak & Shrimp Combo Plate

    Hawaiian Shrimp Company

    My wife and I visited Hawaiian Shrimp Company since we were craving garlic shrimp. Located inside a…read moreseemingly deserted food court inside a strip mall, Hawaiian Shrimp Company is well hidden. Unless you're actively looking for it, you probably won't stumble upon it randomly. Between the two of us, we shared a single plate with garlic shrimp and lilikoi shrimp and three sides -- two scoops of taro potatoes (extra charge for having a duplicate side) and some broccoli. For close to $30, the shrimp plate feels expensive, but you actually get quite a bit of food -- definitely enough for two to comfortably share. Between the two types of shrimp (a plate comes with four of each), I liked the garlic shrimp a bit more. I loved how intense the garlic flavor was in the shrimp. In the past when I've had garlic shrimp in Hawaii, it's always been drown in a pool of butter, resulting in an oily coat around your mouth after each bite. The shrimp here uses a fraction of the butter and oil used elsewhere, leaving a much cleaner taste after each bite. With the lilikoi shrimp, my first bite reminded me walnut shrimp: there was a subtle sweetness to the shrimp. Unlike the garlic shrimp, the lilikoi shrimp are butterflied, making it easy to distinguish between which shrimp is what flavor. The fact that the shrimp can even be butterflied means the shrimp used here are quite large in size, indicative of the value you're getting with your plate. With the sides, the broccoli is well-seasoned, and the taro potatoes have nice large chunks mixed in. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my meal at Hawaiian Shrimp Company. I understand some folks would be quick to write-off a restaurant as understated as this one, but definitely give it a try if you're looking for some good tasting garlic shrimp.

    The food was epic. I got the shrimp plate, then the awesome workers allowed me to try the lilikoi…read moresauce. Everything worth the price
