- AAlanVirginia •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe dined here for the first time for our wedding anniversary. BLOWN AWAY! From the delicious appetizers to the dessert and EVERYTHING in between, this was a phenomenal meal. Everything was spot-on with complex flavors and rich taste. Here's the breakdown: Ahi toast - MUST HAVE. The flavor and texture of these were awesome and were out in a few minutes after our order. Vegetable rolls - same as above. 2 of each were a great starter. Stuffed peppers - INCREDIBLE. I could make a meal of these! Flank steak - the star of the show. The onion reduction and basil salad complimented a PERFECTLY seasoned medium rare steak. We couldn't get enough... Hulihuli chicken - superb flavor, french fries were awesome with a great aoili. We had the swirl and the panna Cotta desserts (the swirl dressed nicely for our anniversary) and they were both outstanding with really unique flavors. The pacing of our meal was flawless and the staff all worked as an incredible team. We couldn't find a single thing we would have changed. Slight dink for value since this is an expensive meal...but worth EVERY CENT! Hands down the best meal we've had in a long time and certainly the best on Oahu MUST TRY!!!More infoThe Pig and the Lady$$$$• Vietnamese• Kaimuki•4.7
