Cold noodle with Lemon grass chicken and Summer rolls 👍👍👍👍👍

Casey Nagatoshi

So far I have gone here twice and I ordered the lemongrass chicken sandwich with no regrets! The contents of the sandwich include: chicken, cucumber, parsley and onions in a toasted french bread. The chicken was already bursting with flavors and the parsley topped it off on every bite I took. I wanted to try their pho since some of my friends have suggested that, but they ran out for the day. I guess they make enough to make it through lunch, so get their early if you want it!
I ordered their vietnamese coffee and being that it was my very first one in my life, no joke that was really strong coffee. I'm more of a tea person but I appreciated it more when they offered to put more condensed milk in it. So again I went a second time and ordered it and it was on point again! I could slowly start getting into the world of coffee soon! They also have different types of coffee from espresso, cappuccino, lattes, macchiatos, and thai coffee to name a few. They also got some teas in there, even thai iced tea! Boba, Italian cream sodas, smoothies are made in there too!
The people who run it are really nice. They give you excellent customer service and I think it might be three of them that are in there but I couldn't see past the kitchen. If you do eat there then your food and drinks are served to you. They even serve you a fresh slice of pineapple with your meal!
FYI there is a restroom in the back, and it was very clean just if anyone wondered.
I've gone in at 12:00pm and it can get crowded in there. Then I went around 1:15pm the next time and there was no wait, but people trickled in little by little. So if you're looking to skip the crowd then try after 1pm.
Parking: street parking and they are metered. There is metered parking right in front of their store and there are some occasional no metered curbs.
So far the consistency was there both times I went. Definitely give this small shop a try if you're in the area!

Their coffee is really good, especially their Thai and Vietnamese lattes. I also love their breakfast sandwiches. Service is always great. A true gem within Kakaako.

They are stretched too thin for how busy they are now. Don't go on your lunch break or if you don't have time to wait... I ordered and they "forgot" about my order and continued to serve others that came in after me while I waited and waited. Took over 30 minutes to get a simple vietnamese sandwich. There are more efficient, considerate places to choose from within this same block.

Love the food and love these people!! They really know how to treat their customers. The food is the best Vietnamese food on the island! 😋
