    THEY TAKE CREDIT CARDS NOW :)

    See my previous review for more details.  The older son who waits tables is also an excellent stand up bass player in the local volunteer orchestra.

    Love this place! The best cold noddles in Hilo and their sauce is amazing! If you ever get a chance, head over!

    Well, ok, I was wrong.  I won't be going back.  The re-order after their bag fell apart, which I paid full price for, they only made up a 1/3 order of curry and sent me on my way.  I didn't notice until I got back to my office.  I will not go back there, and I will recommend against people going there.  They suck.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch and it was amazing! I had the pork and egg rolls on cold vermicelli noodles and it was delicious!! Great service with a smile and no long wait for our food (during lunch rush too!) Definitely coming back soon!!

    Tried this place out for lunch after a friend brought back the Summer Rolls to work. Rolls are a lot bigger than we're used to.

    CASH ONLY!! Small place that can seat maybe 6 or 7 parties of 4 or less.

    Service was pretty good, especially since we sat at the table right in front of the cashier. Water refilled when needed and food came out in a timely manner.

    Food was really tasty. I always get vermicelli noodles with chicken and spring rolls. I enjoyed the steamed fish with black bean sauce, but it can be pretty salty so it would go well with some rice.

    Overall, good experience.
