We easily found parking. I had the vegetable coconut curry and my husband got the papaya salad and pad thai noodles. Everything was made to order and was pretty fast, the staff was friendly and helpful. My curry was really good and creamy it was a large portion that I took it home and finished the rest. The papaya salad was very refreshing. Our pad thai was really good but the noodles were a bit overcooked and a too sweet for my taste. Next time I wanna try to see if I can get it a little less sweet. But overall I wanna try more next time we are on the island.

Ordered a curry and rice with add-ons of Taiwan Beef, poached egg, and corn. The base curry was…read morefine, egg and corn were standard, just for texture variation. Taiwan beef???? It would've been more regionally accurate to call it Sichuan Beef for how spicy it is. I'm typically someone who can tolerate spice but this one had me tap out early in the meal. If we want to keep Taiwan beef on the menu, use like 1/6 the spice level and throw in some rock sugar to get some sweet and savory flavors going. In the meantime, I'll work on my spice tolerance. The rest of the table ordered ramen and it seemed like it was drenched in aromatic oils. You could see a ring of oil along the edge of the broth ~1-2mm and more scattered on the broth. It should be a light drizzle instead of an ocean oil spill. Karaage, large pieces and was bland. If serving as appetizer, stick to smaller bite sized pieces and add some black/white pepper. Quantity of meat provided was good, just lacking on share-ability. Service was pleasant, waiter was great on the water refills while I was in pain. Overall interior was nice and a vibe but I'm here to rate the food, not service or ambiance.

You order at the counter and if you're lucky, you'll have the lovely opportunity of being helped by Cat. She's very knowledgeable about the menu and is very thorough when leading you through the ordering process. Once the food arrived, presentation was great. Everything looked super yummy and fresh! Our ginger pork dumplings and one order of the short ribs came out right away, however my partner's short rib plate didn't come out at all (20 minutes have passed by). It was a slight disappointment having to eat my meal while my partner was waiting for his, however we gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured it was due to the fact we received our order as soon as that dinner rush started. When mentioned to Cat, she was super apologetic and got us the missing plate right away with no excuses. Thank you so much! This series of events will not prevent me from coming back to this spot whenever I am back on this side of the big island because the food is great, ordering process was easy and to the point, customer service was awesome, and hours are very forgiving. Give it a try!

I was so excited to find this Filipino store during our July 2026 trip to Maui and learned through…read morea Yelp search that they serve a personal favorite, halo-halo, a frozen dessert with shaved ice, evaporated milk, ube ice cream, sweet coconut strings, sweet red beans, and sugar palm fruit. Although it did not have the customary sweet banana, mashed sweet potatoes, and sweet jackfruit (thus the one star downgrade from a 5 star) my taste buds remember from having it in a Max chicken restaurant during my trip to the Manila from years ago, I was in heaven! The store also had traditional Filipino snacks i.e. puto, sapin sapin, ensaymada and other local yummy cakes, and a whole lot of Filipino grocery items. The store is small, aisles a bit tight, not well lit inside, parking is free at the back, and customer service was friendly and courteous! Mahalo!

There was four of us that ordered the same thing. It was the cold noodles(bun) salad with grilled chicken, and fried roll. Pretty much like our lumpia we make. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We all felt it was the best meal we had all vacation. We are all a mixed couple Filipino/white. We live in the PNW and there are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants around. I've tried every chicken fried roll bun salad. Nothing compares. My friends, husband and I are always disappointed. We all think it's the sauce. Pho 99 has the best flavor anywhere!! Pops on the register was cordial, moms was working the grill. I hope they're still around when we visit next year. Even though we will be staying on the Waikoloa side, we will make sure to take a drive just to have their delicious food! We were there 2/11/25
