Sam and I go to lunch a couple of times a year. Our most recent lunch took me to Pho 19 for the first time. I love Vietnamese food and was so excited to try this restaurant.

Sam and I shared an order of summer rolls.

I ordered the Pork Spring Roll Cold Noodle Salad for myself. I loved it and can’t wait to have it again.

Sam ordered the Beef Stew Pho that looked amazing!

Ellen, the owner, is super friendly and is actually my high school classmate’s mom. If you find yourself in downtown Hilo, you NEED to stop at Pho 19. Living Hilo Style.
