Vietnamese-Hawaiian fusion that sounds gimmicky but is actually genius. Chef Andrew Le grew up in his family's Chinatown noodle shop and now creates dishes that honor both traditions — think pho French dip, bo kho bolognese, and crispy Lê fried chicken wings that locals rave about. The restaurant started as a farmers' market stall and grew into one of Honolulu's most celebrated spots. Their new Kaimuki location on Waialae Avenue is spacious and modern with a lively energy, though it can get loud when packed. The lunch and dinner menus are completely different, so plan accordingly — and yes, the hype is real.
