    We sat in the large patio area outside. It was very pleasant, with balmy weather and light trade winds, and we liked the live music (a solo guitarist/singer). We ordered from the Happy Hour menu and the food and drinks were inexpensive. Even though the restaurant was busy we were served quickly. My friend ordered the local shrimp and chips and I had the tempura fish and chips. Our waitress brought us a small glass of Prosecco (no charge) before our meal arrived. The food was delicious and well prepared. The coating on the seafood was light and crispy (not greasy). The service was excellent. Shout outs to our pleasant and friendly waitress Mahina and to the host Kody. We liked the restaurant so much we came back for dessert the same evening after we attended a music event!

    Everything we ordered was flavorful. We tried here mainly because they indicated a vegetable broth used for their vegan pho. 1 of us is a vegan and the rest were not. For our vegan diner they also had a delicious tofu bahn mi and tofu spring roll. All the dishes we ordered were tasty. They only had 1 waitress. It was busy for her so 1 of the kitchen help came out to take our order. The restaurant is pretty plain, like cafeteria style seats and table, so it was pretty casual dining.
