eating-neko: hale vietnam
Thursday, September 08, 2005
i visit hale vietnam in waialae on 12th ave for lunch last monday with KN. it's always one of our favorite vietnamese food stops on a coffeetalk day. the pho (rice noodle soup) here has the best soup base in the city and is very popular with both tourists and locals alike. unfortunately it was quite a hot day for pho, so KT had the lemongrass chicken and springroll bun (cold vermicelli with veggies but no soup) and i had the shrimp fried rice. both dishes were excellent and filling. while the prices here are a bit higher than the other local vietnamese restaurants, the food and service here are top notched. a must visit on those cold honolulu winter nights. so drop on by!
