This "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. My mom and I finally had the chance to try it, and, boy, what a treat! We ordered takeout since my mom is elderly. We ordered the steamed rice with pork chop - shredded pork and eggs (38), shrimp and eggplant (don't know the number), beef stewed with noodle (3), crispy egg noodles special with shrimp (51), and the Hong Kong rice noodles (33). Everything was delicious! My mom liked the shrimp and eggplant best. (I couldn't find it on the menu, but the server knew what I was talking about). The pork chop and the shrimp and eggplant were among my favorites. I loved the beef stewed with noodle also. It might be easy to overlook this nondescript place, so I wanted to help bring notice to this little gem. Highly recommend!

Great food, very reasonably priced. We enjoyed the all of the dishes we ordered especially lemongrass chicken and pad thai.

Popular with local Asian families. Spring rolls were crispy and delicious- 4 rolls with lettuce for $10. Noodle salad was amazing. Pho good.

My wife and another friend got the #27 cold noodle dish and both were very pleased with the food. I got the pho Tai and it was exceptional. We will be returning often.

The combo fried rice is amazing. The food has always been wonderful regardless what I order, and the staff are friendly.

Decent phos and spring rolls.

Some of the best Pho I've ever had anywhere.

We are so lucky to have found this place while on a quick trip to Hilo. We ordered the Pho and the cold vermicelli with grilled pork. This is the best we’ve found in years…between our current home on Oahu, living in Texas, and in Germany. If we lived in Hilo, I’d be here weekly. The Pho broth was perfect. The vermicelli was tasty with excellent crispy veggies and a crunchy spring roll. Staff was friendly, restaurant was clean. We are leaving Hilo tomorrow and this will be our last stop before the airport.

Great big bowl of pho! And i had to share an order of vegetable spring rolls! Food was very good. I now have another favorite place to eat noodles.
