    What a cool spot! We were walking around looking for a late night bite and we stumbled on this place in a parking lot. They have booths for the various vendors and they allow you to bring your own drinks. People were eating and singing karaoke, the service was great, and best of all, the food hits real hard. They have one of the better fish sauces that isn't too fishy, so non-Viet people can enjoy it too. The scallops were delicious, papaya salad was solid and the people working here were very friendly.

    Amazing Vietnamese food truck with an extensive menu! I came across this food truck the other night with a hankering for Pho. As I approached, I could see a huge photo collage of most of the dishes served. A very nice woman at the counter took my order, of which I went for the Oxtail Pho and a Pineapple Sugar Cane drink. After paying, I went to pick a table. Within 8 minutes the food arrived at the table and it smelled wonderful. First off, I've never had oxtail pho before... love oxtail, love pho, so perfect combo! The broth was delicious and the pho was fantastic! The only thing I'd say is that the portion was a bit small for Hawaiian and Vietnamese standards. As for the ambiance, it's very casual with a street food scene vibe that I was digging! There's ample parking as well. Next time I'd like to try the pork rice plate and the snails. If you've got a craving for Vietnamese food, this spot is worth trying!

    I usually steer clear of food trucks, but this one immediately caught my attention. Curious, I walked up and asked what was fresh that evening. A friendly woman showed me a steaming bowl of soup that looked absolutely delicious. I gave it a try--and I'm glad I did. The soup came with a generous spread of condiments: lemon, water spinach, and a punchy shrimp paste with chili. The broth was bold and rich with deep seafood flavors--every spoonful revealed layers of crab, shrimp, minced pork, and cubes of pig's blood tofu, all nestled over silky white udon noodles. I sat at one of eight clean tables under a charming awning, strung with colorful lanterns that made me feel like I was back in Vietnam. The menu is impressively extensive, and I'm already looking forward to returning to try more!

    Stopped by Saigon Grill and tried the Dubai-inspired pistachio crunch chocolate. This was good. The texture was amazing -- creamy pistachio filling, rich chocolate, and a really solid crunch. Not overly sweet either. $27 after tax.

    Oxtail pho

    Similar to food truck stop. Viet food, looks like crab is their specialty. Oxtail pho was very good, meat tender off bone, soup tasty with rice noodle. Bean sprouts were wilted or old. Beef plate was good, tender cubes. Service was good, external tables with cover for rain or heavy sun. Ambiance none as this is mainly like a picnic. Overall, 3 stars out of 4.

    We stumbled upon this place after looking for late night restaurants after attending First Friday at Capitol Modern in Downtown. We initially were planning to go to Sura just around the corner, but was too impatient to wait. So we ended up walking to the food trucks to explore other options. I've been curious about this place for a while and was only able to come here for the first time. FOOD -- I ordered a combination pho. The pho was overall ok, but I feel like I've had richer tasting broth elsewhere. I probably wouldn't get the pho again, but I am open to ordering another dish from the menu. I also find that the prices here are on the higher end. I felt like the portion of the food does not reflect the price. Sugarcane juice costs $8.99, which is pricier than what I would pay. SERVICE -- The workers are friendly. One of them wiped down the table for me when I sat down. AMBIANCE -- This place is located on an empty (parking?) lot across the Hawaii Convention Center. There are two other food trucks in the lot. Saigon Grill is the biggest one. It is painted in pastel pink tones and sakura flowers. There are bench-style seating right infront of the trucks. Brightly-lit and decorated. I like how breezy it was while I was eating. Review for service received on August 1, 2025.

    Scammin liar. He told me a big plate of food would be 22 dollars and 3 seconds later when paying he changed it to 32 dollars and there wasn't that much food. Don't go here

    * This review is only for their sugarcane juice. I didn't get any food. I heard that they sell sugarcane juice. I love sugarcane juice, so I had to give it a try. A cup of cane juice goes for $8.99, so not bad. They have a lot of sugarcane juice combos. I opted to try their lychee cane. It was so good. It had bits of lychee jelly on the bottom and two pieces of canned lychee. As much as I liked the lychee version, the pure sugarcane juice is still my fave. This is a food truck. It's parked on Kapiolani Blvd. right next to the ramp going up to Hawaiian Brian's.

    Came here because we were craving Vietnamese food, my goodness with place was FREAKEN AMAZING!! Cooked by actual Vietnamese people, the clams are so sweet and fresh even drank the lemon grass soup that it was in!! The crawfish was delicious literally smothered in garlic goodness, should've ask for a bit spicer. The drinks was just right not too sweet. The owner was sweet enough to talk to us and have a good convo about his food! Love it when people are just good people and like to converse ! Would recommend to any one who loves Vietnamese street style food. I'm really sad I didn't order more things to try, probably will come back tomorrow. Came back three days in a row and ended up trying a few noodle dishes and shrimp!! Would love different dipping options though, salt pepper and lime is just a suggestion. Outdoor seating with overhead coverage in a cute little lot!

    $60 crab
    Calie H.

    Food is overpriced and poor quality. Seafood is not fresh as advertised. We spent $60 on a small dungeon crab, took one bite and threw the whole crab away. The "butter garlic" sauce was really sweet and crab barely had any meat. For a $30 Conch mango salad, all you get is lot of onion, very little mango, maybe 4 thin slices of conch, and very stale shrimp chips. Our whole dinner tonight was $160 for 4 dishes and 2 sugarcane drink. I am upset because I feel like I've been fooled by all 4-5 star reviews and TikToKers. I had high hopes and it was such a huge disappointment.

    Garlic Butter Sea Snail. I think I'd prefer escargot. This is too small.
    Rebecca T.

    Finally got to try this place! It's pretty good but I think the prices could be better for the quantity and quality of food. We tried their snails, curry crab and dynamite scallops. Their snails were quite tiny and couldn't taste much of the meat flavor. The sauce didn't really stick to the meat so it's a little bland. The curry crab was delicious! The curry sauce went so well with rice! But the crab was small and not very sweet. The dynamite scallops didn't look anything like the photo, also it didn't taste that good. It's more mayo than anything. And the quality of the scallop wasn't that good. I think the idea of having so much seafood dish was great! I just hope the dishes stood out more. Their curry crab was good but I know other places make decent ones too. The seating area had nice ambiance lighting. It's a cool spot to hang out with friends at night, eat and drink.

Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with modern furnishings. They also have a outdoor patio up front. Service: Service was good. Staffers were friendly, attentive, offered nice suggestions, and food took a decent time to get to our table. Food Of Choice 1) Fish Tacos Dinner Plate: Comes with 2 tacos (ono/mahi), their house-made tarter sauce, and your choice of side: french fries, cajun rice, or home potatoes. Thought it was good. Portion size of the fish was decent and they top the fixings (slaw and tomatoes) quite nicely. 2) Snapper burger ($15) with fries (+$3.00 extra): Snapper was moist, tender, and flavorful. I also liked their house-made tarter sauce! :) Paia Fish Market For Thought: Can definitely see myself come back to on my future visits to Oahu.

Unsure what to get, asked the waitress to surprise me based off a couple of items I could not decide on. She did not disappoint and after talking with kitchen, she brought out the Braised Beef Noodles. The meat was tender and noodles good perfectly. My understanding is that this is a newer dish and hope it stays. The tomatoes were cold, which was a initial surprise but nice compared to the hot dish. I will be returning and highly recommend. Be ready to spend $40-$60 per plate. Ordered a Caesar salad that is big enough for 2 ppl to share. Couple of appetizers included sushi rolls & grilled brussels sprouts that were also excellent.

All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun.

You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.

Things to know: no place to sit (one outside table with 3 chairs is all they have); no cash, card only; the fish is flown fresh from Japan. Now I don't know if all fish is actually from Japan and how true it is, but I did see some styrofoam shipping containers with US agriculture and US customs tape so I believe it. We ordered the macadamia aburi salmon which was a top tier combination of torched salmon, macadamia and a delicious sauce, and yuzu miso poke with ahi which had tuna so fresh it was just melting in your mouth. I also thought it was priced pretty reasonably compared to other poke places I tried in Waikiki, and portions were not huge but decent with lots of fish.

We had poke almost everyday from different places during our visit, so we got to try a few, and Sato Seafood definitely stood out. We tried 4 different poke options here, but my absolute favorite was the ahi yuzu miso. The citrus flavor was so good, and if you like ponzu, I'd definitely recommend trying this one! Everything tasted very fresh, and the rice-to-fish ratio was perfect! There was just enough rice to have a piece or two of fish with each bite and a little fish left over. The two workers were very nice and friendly, which made both visits even better. The only thing I wish was a little different is if the toppings weren't so much extra. Once you start adding a few toppings, it adds up pretty quickly. Overall, we really enjoyed Sato Seafood and would love to go back.
