The Pig and The Lady

I honestly don’t know where to start. The food here is unlike any restaurant we’ve been to. The escargot in green curry was next level. The pho French dip ridiculously delicious. The grilled prawns with their amazing sauce- wow. The two desserts we had were unlike anything we’ve had. And the service- impeccable. Thank you Pig & The Lady for a meal we’ll never forget.

Fantastic Restaurant. Made a dinner reservation and parked in the paid civil beats parking lot, P&L validates. Ambience was great, not too loud, music was good. Service was great. Food was excellent, great flavors, balance and creativity. Better if you can share dishes to try more things. I will have to go back for their lunch menu which has things the dinner menu does not have. 10/10 will go again. Oahu is lucky to have this gem.

Pig and the Lady in Honolulu absolutely lives up to the hype. The service was amazing, and the food was incredibly unique! So aromatic, herbaceous, and layered with flavor. We ordered the Bo Kho Bolognese, Lê fried chicken wings, P&L Caesar salad, Kurobuta pork collar, pa’i‘ai bánh xèo, and the charred cabbage, and every dish was outstanding. Each plate brought something different to the table, and the creativity and balance of flavors really set this place apart. I’ll definitely be going back the next time I can secure a reservation.

I’ve followed The Pig and the Lady from their farmers' market days to Chinatown, and I finally made it to their new Kaimuki location. The new space is large, modern, and upbeat. It’s perfect for groups, though the noise level is moderate due to the high energy. There is parking inside the building, but street parking was plentiful and easy. Pro-tip: For groups larger than six, best to call to reserve (rather than using the app) and you will need to provide a card to hold the table. ​ Everything we ordered was amazing. The chicken wings were a highlight—crispy, savory, and served over a nice bed of peanuts and cabbage. I had the Pho 75, which featured a dark, deep-flavored broth with a refreshing citrus finish. The noodles were slightly thicker than the usual noodles, and the soft ground b

The space in Kaimukī, is brand new, and it shows. It's beautiful, grandma chic, and buzzing. The service is notably better. When we arrived early for our 5:30 p.m. reservation, the entrance was a nightmare. A lot of people seemed unaware that dinner isn't walk-in friendly, so it turned into a cluster at the host stand. We ended up hopping in line anyway, assuming it would take at least 30 minutes to sort out. A few important things to know: lunch and dinner have completely different menus. Also, if you order takeout during dinner service, you can access some items that aren't available on the dine-in dinner menu, which is a helpful workaround if you're craving specific favorites. Overall, we enjoyed the experience, but we still prefer the food at the original The Pig and The Lady locati
