I found this place by accident, I went to shopping center where Hue Thai is located at to get a haircut. I passed by this place and saw it was pretty busy, busiest eatery in the entire mall. I was curious so I went inside. \n\nI don't ususally eat much Thai food but I took a look at their menu. They were a Vietnamest place in disguise! What kinda threw me off was their walls are painted like a big underwater aquarium (for some reason) and even NEMO can be found! I love me my pho and fried egg rolls, especially when they bring out that big plate of romaine lettuce, pickled carrots and radish, mint, basil, and cilantro to mix with it. I LOVE colorful food. I was in a rush so I couldn't stay but I took a menu with me. The whole week after that I was craving to eat at this place. I finally convince the gf to go with me one weekend for lunch. So glad we did.\n\nI've had pho before, but I had never tried Banh Mi sandwiches. I know, typical but we Hawaii people don't have much Thai restaurants in the islands. Turns out to be one of the best things EVER! I tried their Special Banh Mi (the one with 3 different kinds of pate) and it was excellent! Especially with the pickled carrots and radish on top. Add some cilantro and some hoisin inside! Instant yummification. I'm hooked on these now and have one every time we go. I've tried a few others since then, the chicken and the beef. I like em all. Their pho is good too, their broth isn't as salty as some of the other Vietnamese places here. That's a plus for me. I love throwing in basil, bean sprouts, cilantro, mint....well all of it into that broth. I don't normally like tripe or tendon...but damn, I'll eat it with this broth and all those veggies!\n\nFrom what I read, this place's banh mi is kinda expensive. I see that Cali is a lot cheaper. Still, $3.75 for one of these sandwiches ain't too bad of a deal...even though they used to be cheaper at one time. Still beats selling a kidney to eat at a buffet! Eat here if you lookin' for some good soup and a sandwich that won't break the bank. Pho sho!
