"The Pig and the Lady recently moved to Kaimuki. The new space has outdoor seating with the vibe of Vietnam’s street stalls, while inside, a mural of a tiger leers as it slurps noodles. You’re coming here for itsiconicphở french dip—while the sandwich is only available for lunch, it’s worth stopping by for a midday meal powered by this braised brisket-stuffed creation that’s spiked with a Thai basil chimichurri and comes with a side of phở broth for dipping. Dinner also doesn’t disappoint: bring a group, or friends for a birthday bash, so you can order more of the free-wheeling dishes, like baked escargot in a seafood curry sauce and pork collar with pork fat crunch. Always save room for the soft serve swirl, which constantly features different flavors." - Martha Cheng
