Golden hot and sour 酸辣金湯米線

We list it as our most popular soup. The pork bone broth is sour and spicy, and you can have it with thinly sliced Fatty Beef or with Chicken Thighs.

Keani and the counter

Keani opened the place and he loves to cook. He'll make your order the way you ask, and the woman running our counter is just as friendly.

Inside Pineapple County

We're in the Pineapple County food hall on Lewers Street, and there's a public parking lot behind us. If you live here, ask about our Kamaaina discount.

Casual noodle spot. We got the golden hot and sour house special with chicken thighs and kimchi soup with fatty beef. Both had incredibly rich flavor and very unique. The service was also quite good. You can tell the person who opened the joint really takes pride in what he’s doing.

Best ramen I have ever had, the service was amazing. I wish I would have caught her name but the sweet woman who runs this place was extraordinary. She made the whole experience!

Great tofu mushroom soup and the owner was super nice, giving us towels to dry off after we got stuck in a downpour. Highly recommend

Located in pineapple county food hall on Lewers Street . Legit the best food I've had from this hall. Keani, the owner, took my order with less than 20 hours notice and made it to my request! Large pan brisket noodles and he added several orders of spicy spam on top!! Was able to take it to my potluck and everyone loved it!! Definitely will be reordering!! Many mahalos!!
