Piggy Smalls

The dishes at Piggy Smalls are totally unique. Every dish we had was great. Even my picky 6 year old finished the entire kid's pasta dish. We had the crispy cheese dumplings which was a totally OG spin on the traditional ramen shop gyoza. The chopped chicken liver toast was a really good starter and I don't even eat liver. The sirloin cap steak was perfectly cooked and the included salad was a perfect pairing. The uni, anchovy, and garlic spaghetti was also popular at our table. A little pricey, but overall an excellent meal.

Got the wings half order and bun bo hue. First off, everyone here is nice af. Thank you, fr. The wings were so good thank you lemongrass. The bun bo hue was a little salty for my liking. Nice waitress recommended sumn else and I shoulda listened. Some cream cheese wonton, I think it was a new item. Anyway learn from me, order what the nice people recommend.

Awesome meal! Lovely staff! We decided to order takeout because the wait was an hour. The food was ready in less than 20mins. The chops with the Kale was delicious! Nice size portions too. My friend doesn’t like Kale but loved theirs! As we were waiting outside a staff member offered us seats, which was so kind of him😀. It was the best meal we had in Honolulu.

The vegan pho is like a sleeper hit, my whole family who loves beef pho said this was their favorite dish of the night! Very great version of the classic Vietnamese noodle - with hand cut rice noodles, very savory mushroom and Pho spices make an addicting broth The service was so nice and attentive, everyone had a good sense of humor and energy.

We ordered the curry paste with egg noodles, , tea salad, bahnmi with French dip and added pho. The bahnmi did not disappoint. The curry paste with egg noodles was recommend by our server. It was flavorful just like she said. the brisket was on the tough side, it would be nice if they come in smaller pieces. For tea salad, it was a bit too sour for my liking, I have had better. With that said, I still felt a lot of thoughts were put into the menu and food which I appreciate. We sat right next to the open kitchen and saw how the big guy chef making sure the staffs were doing their job. He checked every plate that went out, and pointed out things that need additional attention. From what I could see, they kept everything clean and tidy, the entire crew has high discipline and on their toes like I was watching some cooking show. One star is taken off because we waited more than 35 mins for our order. It must have been missed at the first place, but our server was nice.

Fantastic upscaled Fusion Vietnamese cuisine in a casual setting. Servers were all great, food for the most part was excellent . The "cheese dumplings" were a tad underwhelming - just gyoza which, after being steamed, are pan fried in cheese until the cheese burns - but everything else was incredibly delicious (it's so hard to get uni pasta where I'm from!) and I would recommend this spot wholeheartedly.

Piggy Smalls is a nice Vietnamese fusion place right in the mall. It was great that there was free parking close by, a rarity in Honolulu. We had the Le fried chicken wings, Burmese tea salad, ahi toast, vegan pho, pho French dip bahn mi, and bo ca ri ga (beef brisket stew). The chicken wings were crispy and tasty with a delicious sauce. I've never had tea salad that didn't have tea leaves in it but it was still pretty good although it didn't have the flavor balance or crispness of a traditional Burmese tea salad. I really enjoyed the ahi toast, the garlic pickle was excellent, I only wish it was a little bigger as it felt like an appetizer even though it was coupled with the other mains. The bahn mi was pretty good but lacked the quick pickles and egg butter that I associate with a bahn mi. It was good but not what I expected which left me a little disappointed. Finally, the bo ca ri ga was a beef brisket stew with carrots and potatoes with egg noodles and it was nicely seasoned broth with a light curry flavor. It was a little heavy in feel but still delicious although I wish it was a little more spicy. Overall it was good but I don't know that I would go out of my way to go here.

Invited by a friend and his family for dinner. It was a set manu for total of eight course meal. The waiter told us the table was not ready for us with most polite manner and voice! We(total of 17 of us) was seated at the outside booth! All the dishes from the starter to desert was wonderful and tasty! Also the portions are big and well seated! We have nothing to complain but praise.
