The Thai chicken tacos are divine - perfectly cooked, generously portioned, and loaded with amazing sauces and fresh ingredients. Hubs had the fish tacos, which were equally fresh and full of tang. The portions are generous, the ingredients are high-quality, and the service is top-notch. Whether you find them parked at Ko'olau Distillery (like we did!) or somewhere else on the island, these tacos are a must-try. Don't miss out!

As simple as it may sound, this place executes flawlessly. Smart choice to use ribeye for reliable quality. The steaks have a nice char to them. Perfectly cooked to whatever you choose, whether it's medium rare or well-done. I was lucky enough to have the steak and lobster special and the lobster was cooked so well. Not dried out. Buttery.

Spring rolls is one of our favorites along with pad thai, eggplant, curry and chicken satay. Pro tip, they will allow you to determine the level of spiciness so just let them know when ordering.

The basil beef stir fry would be better with ground beef rather than chewy slices. The stir fry eggplant with chicken was pretty good served medium hot, but like the basil beef would be better with smaller chunks of meat.

We've gone back multiple times and each time my expectations were met. I have ordered their musubis again and they were sturdy. I normally get their breakfast plate with corn beef hash (not many locations offer it) and over easy eggs. The hash is always crispy like how I like it and the eggs are cooked to perfection. The rice is consistently fluffy as well. We normally call in ahead for takeout and it's always ready on time. The aunty who answers the phone is also very nice and efficient. Awesome job!!!

Pho Vientiane...food truck extraordinaire…read more I admit that I'm a bit of a foodie and I'm always looking for new and tasty places to eat. I have even traveled abroad in anticipation of experiencing the local cuisine. I was originally introduced to the world of phở by a Vietnamese friend a lifetime ago. I have been exploring the variations of the iconic dish ever since. My favourite restaurant in the world is Vietnamese-owned and operated, back in Canada. While visiting the Islands, I only recently had occasion to spontaneously stop and try "Pho Vientiane," a long-time frozen-in-place food truck--secreted along the Kamehameha Hwy, Hauula - on Oahu's North Shore. I was more than pleasantly surprised by the quality and selection of Vietnamese street food this wonderful eatery was offering. The proprietors of this humble food truck were quintessentially customer service-focused. The menu options are impressively diverse, especially considering the size of the space in which they are stored and prepared. The service was impressively expedient, and the quality and generous size of the offerings were extraordinary. I was sufficiently impressed by Pho Vientiane to offer up five stars for the authentic tastes they offer. They are every bit as addictive as those I experienced when I visited South Vietnam - back in the day.

A Hidden Gem Across from the Beach!…read more What a cute and quaint little spot! We absolutely love chicken katsu when we visit Japan, but it's been hard finding one in California that lives up to that same quality--until now. The chicken katsu here was a standout: perfectly crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. Truly delicious! We also tried the pulled pork quesadillas, which were packed with flavor. The grilled onions and melted cheese paired beautifully with the seasoned pork--savory and satisfying. To top it off, we enjoyed their refreshing papaya and pineapple smoothies. They were the perfect complement to our meal. The woman who took our order was friendly and helpful. She let us know that it's best to order online since everything is made fresh to order. While there was a bit of a wait (about 30 minutes), we didn't mind at all--it was well worth it for such a great meal. Overall, we loved the food, the drinks, and the cozy beachside vibe. We'll definitely be coming back!
