    SAUTEED NOODLE Mi Xao
    Pabs G.

    Tried this newly opened restaurant in Kailua. Nice ambiance and clean. Utensils and various sauces available near the cashier. Tried the noodles and Vietnamese manapua and was pleasantly surprised. The Vietnamese coffee was also delicious, but it took 40 minutes to prepare the coffee and they did not have take out cups. Headed to Down to Earth next door to buy a mug. Doubt I would return here. Price point is a bit steep compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. Service was ok, but it required effort, if you know what I mean. I was hoping for more accommodations given this restaurant opened only 2 months ago. I should not have to buy a take out cup for hot coffee.

    We stopped in and were immediately welcomed with warm, friendly service and good vibes. The space is small but super clean, modern, and cozy -- you can tell everything is made with love. Now let's talk food... WOW. We had the fresh summer roll (light, crisp, and packed with flavor), the ginger lemonade (so refreshing!), and Thai tea (strong and creamy). The bánh mì special? Easily one of the best I've had -- perfectly toasted bread, juicy meats, and that classic tangy crunch from the pickled veggies. We also tried the pho, which had a deep, comforting broth that hits the soul -- not too heavy, just clean and flavorful. Vegetarian? Don't worry -- the yam bean manapua was delicious and unique! Everything was made fresh to order and came out fast. This is one of those spots you can feel good about eating at -- healthy, delicious, and full of heart. Definitely worth the trip to Kailua. We'll be back soon!

    Spotted this gem while walking in Kailua town today, 5-15-25. Ordered the Summer rolls with tofu and the banh mi with vegan meat substitute. Summer rolls were very good, but maybe less Lettuce would make it better. The banh mi was also good with thinly sliced jalapeños and a nice vegan sauce so it wasn't dry. Most of their menu is built around vegan/veg options, which is very good for those who are trying to cut out animal proteins. They do offer chicken, if you want to add it to your sandwiches. Shop decor is verh.modern and clean. The cashier was very friendly and polite.

    Decided to try out Vietnam Deli by the Ripple of Smiles. It's next to Down to Earth Organic & Natural. The inside has a few tables, all the food comes out in takeout containers. - Herbs - bean sprouts and lemon wedges came in a ziplock bag - Pho noodle ($4.00 USD) - had to order extra noodles. Crazy - Traditional Vietnamese manapua bao ($7.50 USD) - overpriced. Standard steamed bun - Pho ($18.00 USD) with beef ($1.00 USD) - broth was okay, could smell the star anise. Noodle portion was tiny. We weren't full - Favorite sauteed noodles ($18.75 USD) with chicken ($1.00 USD) - decent flavour to the sauce, tiny portion once again

    We were in the neighborhood waiting for my son when this spot caught my eye--and I'm so glad it did! As I walked in to place an order, I was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face--Frank! He was just as welcoming and professional as I remembered from his previous place of business. Frank is very customer-oriented, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about his customers' opinions and experiences. The restaurant itself is modern, bright, and very clean. Service was quick and efficient. We tried the chicken and pork sandwiches, as well as the spring rolls--everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The ginger lemonade was especially refreshing and full of flavor. Great food, great service, and a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be back if we're in the neighborhood.

    Came here after paddling and needed Pho to warm me up. It's a nice place with tables inside. Service was fast and friendly. The Pho was really good. Other benefits include lots of free parking in back. I need to come back to try the bahn mi sandwiches.

    Stopped here for a quick lunch! The beef was really good and flavorful! The bread was toasted perfectly with the right amount of outer crunch and inner softness. I will say that the $4 spring roll was not what I expected- I assumed it would be multiple but only one was provided. Overall a good meal!

    Stopped by Vietnam Deli and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was warm and efficient, and our food came out fast without feeling rushed. I ordered the garlic shrimp vermicelli and a ginger lemonade--both were fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. It's a small place, but it has a cozy, laid-back vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. Solid food and great service. Highly recommend!

    I ordered shrimp summer rolls, ginger lemonade, and spring rolls. The summer rolls were very fresh and tasty. The peanut sauce was delish as well. The ginger lemonade was to perfection. Perfect sweetness, perfect amount of ginger. I was not too fond with the spring rolls (I got lemongrass tofu). Customer service was very good! I wanted to order on Yelp so I could pick up the order but the full menu wasn't available on yelp, so I just called it in. I definitely will be returning!!

    We originally tried Vietnam Deli during its opening week and weren't initially impressed. We are so glad we gave it another try a couple months ago because the taste and quality of the food they serve now is fantastic!! Each dish is made to order, so it's very fresh! On our most recent visit we decided to dine-in and enjoyed the service and the atmosphere. We definitely have added Vietnam Deli to our restaurant rotation!

    Pho, crispy, spring roll, and chicken sandwich
    Teran N.

    I've been eyeing this place since the sign went up. I was so disappointed. I order the pho, crispy spring rolls and chicken sandwich. The crispy spring rolls were really good! The pho was basic but you do t get what you pay for. Not enough broth or noodles or toppings. Unfortunately the chicken sandwich had 1 oz of chicken it. I only know this because I had to dig in the sandwich to look for the chicken and once I found it, I was shocked so I waited on my scale. I feel so bad for leaving a small business a bad review but other people just need to know the truth.

    Best pho in town! So flavorful and comforting, and the banh mi is amazing. Highly recommend! !

    Glad to have Ripples of Smiles back. Nice new small place with a good menu variety, most in RofS vegan tradition but meat eater options. Got a vegan Bahn Mi and Summer rolls, both were delicious and filling. Kailua gets another great spot!

Every sandwich I've had here has been stuffed, flavorful, and totally worth the price point. The service is also consistently amazing. It's always quick, friendly, and really personable, which makes the experience feel welcoming even though it's just a quick stop. This has become one of my favorite post-gym treats. There are a handful of outdoor tables nearby that make for really peaceful seating, even if you're just grabbing a bite alone and enjoying the Kailua breeze. Parking is easy too--you can park in the open lot within the shopping complex, or right across the street near the gym (which is usually where I end up parking). If you're in Kailua and want something fresh, quick, and satisfying, this little spot definitely hits the mark.

Despite the fact that it's a considerably trek for city-dwellers, factoring either traffic or bus schedules into the equation, or both if you're particularly unlucky, it's a journey always worth taking. Hit Hanauma Bay along the way and make it a day trip; the only way to top those dazzling sights is to follow them with a stellar meal. Boasting a menu composed of locally-sourced produce and entirely vegan options, you'll want to take a number of friends for the best experience. Heck, get out there and make some new friends! Join one of the long communal picnic tables out back and introduce yourself; there are no friendlier folks on earth than those living in paradise, as far as I've seen. That said, if there was only one dish to order, it would have to be the Oh WOW Laulau. Wow, indeed! No where else on earth have I found vegan laulau, let alone such a stellar rendition. Traditionally consisting of fatty pork and/or fish steamed in taro leaves, this version eschews the meat in favor of hearty root vegetables, adding creamy coconut into the mix for richness. Not to be overlooked is the Tofu Poke provided on the side, claiming to be spicy but really bearing just enough warmth to taste perfectly balanced. This was easily my personal favorite from the small sampling of dishes provided, but it's a close call when all the options are so good. Another front runner is the BBQ Portobello Sandwich. Mushrooms marinated in a bright, smoky barbecue sauce practically sing between two whole wheat buns. Coconut slaw tops off the assemblage with just the right amount of subtle sweetness to contrast the deeply savory flavors within. Simpler but no less spectacular dishes include the Roasted Veg Platter and Roasted Veg Avocado Sandwich. The way that the vegetables are treated with respect, from the moment they're harvested from nearby farms to the care taken when they reach the kitchen is evident with every bite. Cooked with care and proffered generously with each serving, even the basics make the trek out here worthwhile. I'm still trying to recreate that impossibly umami gravy offered on the side. It's one of those things that are so astoundingly, inconceivably delicious, it's impossible to deconstruct. Each entree promises an ideal amount of food; satisfying diners without over-stuffing them. That said, you'll still want to make room for dessert, especially when you see the towering bowls full of Outta This Swirled Soft Serve. Cool, naturally sweet spirals of banana-based soft serve are dressed to the nines with cacao sauce that hardens much like magic shell, granola and coconut flakes tumbling down the mountainous terrain, and fresh fruits that vary based on local availability- Expect papaya always to be in ample supply, based on the thriving papaya trees on premise. Each order is abundant enough to be a considered a full meal in and of itself.
