Mixing Vietnamese tradition with island flavors, this restaurant acts as both an unassuming noodle house for the busy lunch crowd by day and a fine dining experience at night. Dishes are daring and flavorful, and they include combinations such as pork chop marinated in spiced guava leaves, and the desserts are equally innovative and delicious.
Dining
The cuisine of Oahu has naturally been influenced by its surroundings – seafood, therefore, plays a large part in the local cuisine, complemented by excellent roast meats (the traditional kalua pork should not be missed), as well as by daring Asian influences. Dishes are served with a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables including the local root vegetable taro, which is usually mashed to turn poi, a staple in the Hawaiian cuisine.
