“ Awesome Banh Mih! I loved the pork, and got it extra spicy. There is a little bit of a wait but not bad at all. The Thai tea was a little different than I am used to however, it tasted different than you might expect from a local Thai place. Overall super fresh and decently priced, I will definitely be going again. ”
“ I got a pork lemongrass banh mi for 10. Ive never had banh mi before so I cant do a comparison to other ones available on island, but it was delicious! If you do drop by, they only accept cash so come prepared! ”
“ Delicious, fresh, and friendly! I got the lemongrass pork banh mi and my friend got bacon pate. The best Ive had in the US! Also got lilikoi spritzers from the neighboring coffee truck that were the perfect compliment. The sandwiches took a few minutes to make because they were prepared fresh for us. We were more than happy to wait. If I lived here Id frequent this place. They have a couple of tables in the shade that were clean and comfortable. All around lovely experience. Thank you! ”
“ Great vegetarian banh mi at this cashonly food truck! Quality, authentic bread paired well with a wellfriedandseasoned tofu cutletthe herbs and fixings elevated the experience. Service was warm and friendly, kindly referring me to their neighbor truck for coffee as I only had cash enough for my sandwich. Lovely place to grabandgo to sit and enjoy your lunch at the Liliuokalani Gardens. Looking to return whenever I can get down here during lunch! ”
“ Wow, wow, wow. The best Bun Noodle Salad Ive had by far. Such complexity, amazing depth. New subtle flavors are found in every bite and as you drink any remaining dressing. Slight sweetness, not at all excessive, very slight heat adds just another layer. We had the shrimp option and again, cooked perfectly with a perfect bite and lovely flavor. Do yourself a favor and get the Spring Roll combo with your salad. The Spring Rolls are crackingly fresh, juicy, and not at all greasy. I could go on as well about the Lemongrass Pork Banmi which was also excellent. Ill be back tomorrow for breakfast! You will have to patient, order ahead if you can. ”
“ This was one of the friendliest food trucks Ive ever visited, and the food was excellent! My wife got a truly tasty banh mi, and my pork noodle dish was exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend! ”
“ The lady at the truck is super sweet and made everything fresh. Best food we have had for the best price. We got the Yellow sub with the lemon grass chicken and I would rate this place higher but I cant!!!! Definitely stop by when in Hilo you wont regret. ”
“ This is a MUST visit. All the ingredients are super fresh crispy veggies, crunchy bacon, soft bread with a good crust that I expect with a banh mi none of that cut the roof of your mouth type of bread. Plus the service is a delight. We ordered fresh squeezed lime juice, crispy spring rolls,pate bacon banh mi, and pork lemongrass with pate banh mi. Wish I had a big enough stomach to order it all again right now ”
