Pate Vietnamese - Review - Keeaumoku - Oahu - The Infatuation
"Though Honolulu is warm, our soup game is strong. If you need proof, just visit Pate—yes, they have beef phở, but they specialize in southern Vietnamese hu tieu. Customize your bowl with toppings, type of noodles, and whether you want it dry or in soup. Our favorite order maximizes all the combinations: half thin rice noodle, half egg noodle topped with a combination of seafood and pork, and broth on the side. Also on the menu: a hearty bun bo hue, stocked with beef shank, pork hock, and pork blood, and a fantastically strong Vietnamese coffee. Just know it’s a tiny spot, so if you arrive at peak dinner hours or on a cold (for Honolulu) night, you’ll have to wait for one of the five tables." - Martha Cheng
