It has been so hot this week and so I wanted some cold noodles as a refreshing lunch. I had the vermicelli plate with veggie spring rolls and garlic shrimp.
This came out to our table and looked so delicious - and HUGE!
The spring rolls were great, the garlic shrimp even better as they were cooked perfectly and was sooo tasty!
My only wish is that they would chill the noodles and veggies like some other places as this would make it much more satisfying during the hot summer months to come. -

Pho-get-about-it bruddah, dis place is da BOMB! Simple, yet complex, I wish we had a Saigon Noodle House near our home in Portland, Oregon.
They have great deep fried Vietnamese Chicken Spring Rolls ($8.50), four big ones cut in half and served with lettuce wraps, vermicelli noodles, carrot and cucumber, fresh cilantro and mint, and a nice, sweet vinegar based dipping sauce. I love these things ... HOOAH!
The place ain't much to look at, but the service, food and prices are incredible, especially in Oahu. In a strip mall full of restaurants without their own toilets, we had two great meals in a period of three days just 100 feet apart, one Greek and one Vietnamese. You can order at the register and take food home or sit at one of the unassuming tables of which there are six to eight and have your order taken. We went for the latter.
If you have not had Vietnamese spring rolls wrapped in lettuce and dipped in the simple sauce, you have not lived. Fortunately for us, that was just the start. My wife had the Lemongrass Chicken Bánh Mì ($6.99), a French baguette with lemongrass chicken, cucumber, carrots, and cilantro, then sprinkled with their signature soy sauce. She was very happy. I, on the other hand, love Beef Curry ($10.95) and their's was one of the top two Vietnamese curries I have had, the other being a red beef curry 38 years ago in San Pedro, California. Lots of thin beef strips, sliced yellow onion, and fresh basil in a delicious yellow curry sauce that was not too mild and not too hot for my delicate esophagus. It sat atop a pile o' jasmine rice, too much for me to eat, so I ended up leaving hald of the rice. Too bigga eat!
For less than $30 plus tip, we had a wonderful Vietnamese meal, one of the best I have had in my lifetime. I wish there were a Saigon Noodle House near us because we would probably be eating there on a weekly basis. I guess we will have to wait until we are back in Kailua visiting our dear friends, hopefully in the near future.

Not the best nor most authentic pho but it will do when in Kailua. Came here for dinner on Monday night to a packed house. The restuarant is very small..probably seats 15-20 ppl. Ordered the special pho which has everything in it. Came out piping hot and the serving size was generous. The accompanying basil and bean sprouts were plentyful & fresh! Friendly & accommodating service.

Pretty amazing food and loads of variety. Seems to be very popular with visiting Japanese tourists. A very few table are there for a very casual dine on premise experience. Stacks of spoons, napkins, spoons are there for your use. Service is limited to taking your order and bringing you the food. Your on your own from there. A check was never offered so I took my payment up to the cash register.
My Green Papaya Salad with Lemongrass Chicken and Spring Roll $10.50 was huge, more than a lunch portions. The spring roll was cut into bite size pieces and scattered over the salad, like a Vietnamese croutons. Lemongrass Chicken was flavorful and tossed with sautéed onions. -

Truly one of the beat places to eat in Kailua! They never disappoint great quality food and service. They have a wide variety of choices even if I usually get the same three things bahahaha. Today was The vermicelli with short rib and bbq pork. It's like three meals in one meat perfectly cooked, vermicelli noodles and salad and they also put in a spring roll. Yummmmmy!!
