After a day at Kailua beach, we were ready to grab some food and decided to try someplace newish to us — Pho & Grindz.
The restaurant used to be called Hot Pot Heaven. The owners eventually added pho to the menu, and it was so well received that they decided to change the name and concept. Now, the menu offers a mix of classic Vietnamese dishes and local plate lunch favorites, so there's a little something for everyone.
We ordered a few different dishes to share, including shrimp wontons, miso udon, garlic chicken, and the grilled pork vermicelli noodle plate.
The portions were generous, and overall, everything was tasty. The shrimp wontons and miso udon were good choices, and the grilled pork vermicelli noodle plate was very satisfying!
The garlic chicken, however, wasn't quite what we expected. It had a bit of a weird aftertaste, possibly from the sauce, and my son wasn't a fan. Taste is always subjective, though, and the other dishes hit the spot!
What really stood out was how nice the owners were. They were super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a dining experience that much better.
If you're in Kailua and looking for a place that serves both Vietnamese favorites and local comfort food, Pho & Grindz is worth checking out.
