No Name Restaurant

Actually it does have a name, it’s called “A Saigon Cafe”. The owner, a really interesting vietnamese lady who’s name escapes me, actually bought a sign too, but the locals convinced her to not put it up– “It would just attract the tourists”. This strange logic seems to have worked out, it’s always plenty full of locals.
To get there, you head towards Wailuku. When you go over the overpass just before town you can catch a glimpse of the roof of your target off to the right side–it has some kind of remnant star decoration on the roof. When you come to the first street after the overpass take a right, then take the next right and go to the end of the road. Take another right and you should see the restaurant, right next to an apartment building. Don’t be scared, this is going to be great!
Put yourself in the care of the waiters and you’ll have a great experience. This is the best vietnamese food I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a lot of fine vietnamese restaurants–Portland is full of them. The whole crispy fish is sublime.
