Pig & the Lady

An award-winning Vietnamese fusion restaurant, the Pig & the Lady is crazy popular. Book well in advance. Imaginative lunch banh mi (sandwiches) come with shrimp chips or prime-rib pho broth; delicious dinner options include Laotian fried chicken. Can't get a table? There's takeout and you'll spot these guys at Honolulu farmers markets. The tropical-flavored soft-serve ice cream is a dream.
