Hilo Noodle No Ka Oi. First and foremost, they cook using no sodium glutamate. Secondly, there are two restaurants within one. You have a beautiful four folded menu highlighting two styles of cooking. Casual Vietnamese and Family Style Chinese. Both very delicious and we'll executed. There is also take out for those of you who are visiting. So call ahead of time and place your order and sit happily in your hotel room or take it to the summit for a sunset dinner. If you are a foodie and on a budget, this is only place that I go when every penny counts. Try everything once! It's all good here down to the sweet dim sums that tease you on the way out. Finally, have some noodles while your there.
Coming from the Kohala Coast, we were craving authentic Viet food. We got turned around and arrived rather close to their closing time. However, they happily seated us. Our food come out super fast and was piping hot. We ordered the Chicken Pho #17, BBQ Pork and Rice #42 and the Mongolian Chicken Rice Plate. (Yes, this is a mountain of food for 2 people.) The food was all delicious with the right seasonings and accompaniments. Both young men who waited on us were so friendly and sweet. Although we ate in a hurry, they did not rush us in any way. They have a huge selection of Viet and Chinese dishes on their menu and it will definitely take some time to decide what to eat. The prices are very reasonable. Dinner was under $35, our least expensive meal on the island. We will definitely come back!!
#28! lettuce, cucumbers, somen noodles, wonderful spring rolls, and fish sauce!! When my office orders from here for luncheons, Hilo Rice Noodle gets an order for 11 #28's! Their bubble tea is also really good. I've tried other places around Hilo, but so far HRN has the best honeydew and Thai iced tea bubble tea! I love this place! Also, you should definitely try their black bean squid! Sooo good!!
I can't shake the addiction!!! Minced chicken w lettuce cups, salted fish fried rice, beef wrapped onion--oh my! Wish they were open on weekends. Love the house sauce, they should sell it by the bottle to take home.
I checked Urbanspoon to see what was a good place for Vietnamese and this was one of the choices that came up.
We passed by a few days earlier, and from the outside, it didn’t look inviting. But we decided to try it out, and we were surprised by the friendly staff, and how good the food was! Very tasty, and priced well.
HIDDEN GEM🥰🎉
Excellent flavor, quality and quantity !🤙🏼🌺.
Exceptional and prompt service !!
We had charsiu chow fun and Vietnamese vermicelli noodle pork and fried roll dish.
This is a great spot for pho and Chinese food. I know it sounds bad when a restaurant does too many different things but this place really nails it. Egg fried rice and beef broccoli is my go to.

They make the BEST Fried Spring Rolls!! Light, balanced and flavorful😋 No one else (even through my travels) compares.
Would never expect by pulling up but the food was amazing and all homemade. Lots of gluten free too!
We are from Toronto and would say that we eat Pho quite often. The broth here is very good, not fatty at all just enough fish sauce and sweetness. The spring rolls were also very good, try them with the lettuce together makes nice refreshing contrast. Highly recommend!
Easy to find, huge menu selection, reasonable prices, quick preparation, generous portions, outdoor seating!! Photo: tofu chow mein
First time ate the chicken curry with jasmine rice -- was absolute delish! Ordered dine-in and take-out...a definite recommend try and fave menu item!
