“ 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 can’t!!!! Definitely stop by when in Hilo you won’t regret. ”

“ Delicious, fresh, and friendly! I got the lemongrass pork banh mi and my friend got bacon pate. The best I've 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 I'd 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 cash-only food truck! Quality, authentic bread paired well with a well-fried-and-seasoned tofu cutlet--the 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 grab-and-go to sit and enjoy your lunch at the Lili'uokalani Gardens. Looking to return whenever I can get down here during lunch! ”

“ 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 ”

“ This was one of the friendliest food trucks I’ve 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! ”

“ I had the tofu bhanmi and the tofu, rice noodle salad. Both excellent. The location is right next to a park and there are a few other food trucks.. pizza, coffee, giros... ”

“ Wow, wow, wow. The best Bún Noodle Salad I've 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 Bán-mi which was also excellent. I'll be back tomorrow for breakfast! You will have to patient, order ahead if you can. ”

“ We had the pork lemongrass banh mi and the daily special banh mi, which was a sweet and spicy sausage that is a local favorite. Both were delicious and so flavorful. Employees all so friendly here and a lovely area to enjoy a quick outdoor bite. May get to share a picnic table with some new friends or take a picnic blanket or chairs and sit in park like setting behind the food trucks. ”
