Pho Kapaʻa - Kapa‘a

Slow service, nice owners, but eating is simply not delicious. we left most food on the tellers and were not even offered a discount. we also ordered a “vegetarian court with aubergine, which had a fishy taste, they admitted to put oyster sauce in it and replace it. it was terrible in both cases. on the island there are much better vegan options.

Lots of locals in this spot not a tourist trap. Plenty of vegan options on the menu with tofu and veggies. Tofu summer roll appetizer with peanut sauce, vegan pho and vegan tofu and veg stir fry with noodles or white rice are all good options. Every thing that is vegetarian is marked with a green leaf on the menu, but the green papaya salad is marked with the green leaf though it says in the menu that it has fish sauce, so just make sure that you specifically say no fish sauce on anything. It was all tasty, filling and affordable.

Very solid Vietnamese site in kauai. we visited the island for 12 nights of ny and returned here to lunch or dinner at least half dozen times. the broth and the pho are legit. the owner, thomas, is such a joy. we'll miss each other. as good as most authentic Vietnamese spots in nyc.

They have the best sandwich! super juicy and extra crispy brot. my nr. 1, to make sure to go!

Best Vietnamese cuisine I had ever – highly recommended. it's worth going out!
