Broken Rice is a fairly new Vietnamese restaurant in Kaimuki. I’ve read some good reviews for this restaurant and was excited to try it! At first I thought we had to make reservations because I expected it to be busy. Honestly, we got there on a Saturday at about 6pm and it was fairly empty. Luckily, they got a few more diners as we were finishing up, whew.

shrimp, pork, carrots, mushroom, long rice, onions.
Typical spring rolls you find at every Vietnamese restaurant, nothing special but it is delicious!


king crab, pork sausage, egg and green onion
Hmm, starting to realize this is the second fried rice post this week. Haha, but I promise these restaurant visits were spread apart a few weeks. It was good! $18 good? Well not really now that I’ve had the Chengdu Style Fried Rice.

cubed rib-eye steak, garlic, soy sauce, with house slaw.

beef brisket and beef rib, flat rice noodle.
Okay, I can only comment on the Beef Rib Pho because this was my dish. One caveat, I was sick when I ate here so my taste buds were a bit compromised. I think I would have really enjoyed this pho had I not been sick. They give you two big chunks of beef ribs so it was nice and beefy…a bit too rich and fatty for my tastes since I wasn’t feeling great. You can see the oily soup so that’s my only complaint – if it was a less fatty, this would be fabulous!
Everything looks good!
You gotta try!!
yummy!
Super yum!
I want to try the Chinese place per your recommends. I’m not an adventurous eater and go to town 2x a month so I usually eat at the same place for months. But you have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and try something different. Mahalo. -N
Aloha Nanako! I hope you do get to try it and please let me know what you think…would be great to hear your own adventures in food! 🙂
