About

This small, family-run Vietnamese spot in Honolulu's Chinatown has a cozy, unpretentious vibe with authentic, flavorful plant-based dishes. Its menu is fully vegan except for some coffee drinks with milk, and standout items include banh mi, bao buns, spring rolls, pho, and fried wontons—all praised for freshness and taste. The language barrier sometimes requires pointing to menu items, but staff are friendly and attentive, and prices are very reasonable for the area.
