I never would have thought to order any of this, and it’s some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. We split two dishes: one was steak, escargot and broccolini and the other was buccatini with chorizo ragu and octopus. The food was unreal and our waiter, Vincent was perfect!
Sensational restaurant .... The Pig and the Lady! The cocktail is called The Golden Pig! A combination of herbs, lemon and sparkling rose .. note the lemon grass. My ginger beer ... not just any ginger beer out of a bottle! They make their own , crushing real ginger and adding yeast and lime and sugar to create bubbles and serve it on tap! The chicken wings are the best I have ever had and the oysters are zapped with a spray of whiskey and unbelievably, cumquat! Mains ... the BEST pork chop I have have eaten!

The food defitnely lived up to the hype, probably the best duck I've had here. Obviously marinated for a while because it was tender and full of flavor. The homemade ice cream sundae dessert is to die for. Amazing how they get the custard so perfect over it. The ahi toast is also a staple with generous portions of ahi that go surprisingly well with the avocado and toast.
The service and atmosphere were lacking, though. Took 9 minutes just to be acknowledged at the table by a server when we were seated. No specials or tasting menu (despite the website saying as much), but the servers were friendly and helpful when asked, it's just the personal service that's missing, which is a shame because the kitchen spends so much time preparing and crafting these dishes that the intent never gets communicated to guests. The fact that it is more of a bar atmosphere with loud music and everyone seated in one large, open brick space doesn't help the servers at all either.
The 5% service charge is also odd. I haven't seen that anywhere else. They charge $42 for 7 small slices of duck, so why not just charge $44 at that point instead of making a big fuss about caring about the staff.
I would come back for lunch when it's hopefully quieter and more personable because the dishes really are good.
Delicious higher-end fusion-y Vietnamese but expect to pay a premium for it. Quality-wise it's quite good, and totally understand the hype. While I did enjoy it, I can't say it was so good that warranted the higher price tag.
Very tasty and good standard of food. So nice we came here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. For lunch, we tried the banh mi with pho dip which was delicious and worth trying, the chicken wings and cocktails were also quite good. The soft serve was very yum.
For dinner, we didn’t book, but was lucky to get a walk in table due to a no-show at 7:45 pm. The ahi tuna toast is a must have, as with the scallop crudo. The banh xeo entree was so large and main sized but was very tasty. We tried the pho and pork collar which were both really delicious. The portion sizes here are very generous and we didn’t need 2 mains, so we skipped dessert.
A must try in Honolulu!
I've been coming to Honolulu for years and can't believe I haven't discovered this place before. The staff was super friendly, food was amazing and unique, and prices were reasonable for what you get. Come hungry and leave happy and full.

We arrived at 5:30pm when the restaurant opened for dinner. There was a line outside so make sure you show up early or make a reservation if you don't want to sit at the bar.
Atmosphere: It has a nice cozy atmosphere with low lighting but not too low. It was relatively quiet even when completely packed. I don't usually say anything about a location's bathroom but it was funny to see a "Big Trouble in Little China" themed bathroom with a picture of Kurt Russell because he ate here once. The seating is all metal. Quite uncomfortable for me due to a condition but figured I would note this.
Service: Staff was nice and very friendly. They joke and play while keeping a very good pace even during a rush.
Food: Amazing. Everything was delicious. They managed to put together the perfect fusion of Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese and American flavors with the dishes that my friend and I ordered. Portion sizes were perfect. I highly recommend appetizers, the pork chop and the lamb chop (which is something because I usually don't like lamb).
Pricing: As with anything in Hawaii, it does come with a higher price tag but it's worth the experience. Don't let this be your deciding factor on whether or not you want to eat here.
The service was incredible. It’s a bit of a long wait for food and it’s gets pretty noisy in there. Don’t have pictures but the Chicken Wings are a must try. They are delicious (along with everything I tried) and the perfect appetizer to have with a little side of rice.
So so so good!!!! There was five of us and we all had the Pho French dip ( it was recommended by many travelers to us) and it did not disappoint! We loved it! The meat was falling apart, the flavors blended and complimented each other perfectly. The dip was to die for.
We sat at the bar and it was very pleasant watching the girl behind the counter make deserts with such passion and care. Everyone was very nice at this restaurant!
Make sure to make reservations! It’s fills up. And be sure to make it before 2:30 for the Pho French dip as they only serve it for lunch.
For dessert we had the Hanoi egg Coffee. It was bliss!!!
Enjoy! 🤗
Hands down. Best of the best so far. Everything on the menu looks delicious but of course we can’t eat with our eyes. lol! So we had to stick with three main course and appetizer. Pate toast delish! I love pate! We ordered the banh mi pho! Chicken and rice and the beef rib pho. I am coming back here the next time in I’m Hawaii
Went for a dinner in the weekend. Pho dac biet and escargot are very good. The tea salad has interesting flavor but dominantly sour - would be much better with less sourness. Highball cocktail is good. Daiquiri is again dominated by sourness.
Restaurant was quite packed Saturday night so it's very loud.
Service is great.
Probably my favorite restaurant in Oahu so far! I just visited yesterday and loved everything about it. The food was incredible, top 10 best sandwiches I have ever had (the oyster bahn mi was absolutely amazing) and the drinks were also really tasty. I also enjoyed the interior design *you have to use the restroom ;) * and the fact that it’s located in the historical and picturesque China Town.
The prices are not bad (for Hawaii standards).
