We LOVE to cater from Fort Street Cafe! We always order their Pad Thai w/Kalbi Ribs and Spring Rolls for our employee parties. We try to support local when we don't want to cook as we cook all day for everyone else!

Garlic chicken. A must. Highly recommended for good reason. Crisp. Tender and juicy. That garlic sauce with just a little sweet. Good stuff. But then also have curry. Also a must. Curry is nice and light. Mix it in with the rice. Then take a bite of the garlic chicken. Totally hits the spot. And fortunately, they have a garlic chicken and curry combo. Score. Friendly service. I went in with garlic chicken on my mind but then got a little side tracked when I saw they also served curry. I ask the person how I could easily remedy my conundrum and he said, just order the combo. Ambiance. Casual. So, so casual. So, so casual that I was jealous that I was dressed up. Everyone looked so very chill and relaxed and enjoying the cozy feel of the place for lunch and here I am wearing a tie. Ugh. Maybe I shoulda taken off the tie. That would be my bad. Great lunch spot. Looks like a go to place for a lot of folks since there was a steady stream of take out orders and most the tables were taken.

In the middle of a long empty street sits a hidden small Vietnamese restaurant, surrounding buildings are kinda old so first thought is should I try it out or not. So I decided to try it out and boy am I glad I did. Not only that their breakfast was only $6.25 but everything tasted very fresh and delicious. I highly recommend giving this place a try it's definitely a bang for your buck but also fresh and delicious!!

Amazing garlic chicken. My favorite on the island maybe even the world. The nicest family own this restaurant!! I've been eating there for about 20 years. We ordered platters for my daughter's graduation party. Vince made it so easy and also delivered on time. Everyone at the party commented on how delicious the chicken was.

Found this little gem since my college days. I used to eat here nearly every other day!!! Not as often now and over the past few years since graduating, but will often order through DoorDash or go down to pick up my order. Food isn't aaaas perfect as before but still good! I usually go for the pad thai, chicken pho, spring rolls, fried rice with garlic chicken, or the garlic chicken plate. The garlic chicken is hands down my favorite and the flavor of that never changed. Ever. The pho lately hasn't been consistent. Sometimes it's flavorful with all the spices, other times it lacks the flavor. Their pho used to be my favorite but the inconsistency of flavor makes me sad. So I just stick with my other choices. The establishment doesn't look like much, pretty much a cozy hole in the whole place. Customer service is great, especially if you go there a lot haha I never waited more than 10/15ish minutes for my food even when it's a bit crowded and food was always hot. Not a fan of the location since there's some sketchy people hanging around and parking is a bit annoying. But I always phone in my order and quickly quick it up.

If there is a Food Heaven there will be a Fort Street Cafe there. I was in the area so I thought I'd pick up dinner from one of my favorite restaurants. I have been coming here for over 15+ years to see Vince and his wife and am always super satisfied with the meals. Always great flavors, great value and great service!

Fort Street mall has changed since I worked in the downtown area 25 years ago. Happily, I found Fort Street Cafe. Wanting to eat a curry dish, I walked the in mall in search of a Thai restaurant. Well, I passed Fort Street Cafe a couple of times. Seeing pictures of Pho and breakfast items, I thought that this was a Vietnamese Pho restaurant. In the back of my mind, I thought of a review from Donna O. I went in and asked if they had made curry dishes. The young man said that they did. I ordered the red curry to take out. Bottom line. The curry was flavorful, a little on the hot spicy side, but I would order it again. The service was excellent and friendly. Enjoy

So glad we decided to stop here. Not sure how they do it, but the garlic sauce with the chicken still crunchy and moist is THE best. Guaranteed crunch with every bite. Highly recommend!!

Mean craving for Ramen...don't know where got at lunch downtown anymore that isn't with a Taiwanesey sauce. Luckily found Saimin at Fort Street. Pretty tasty! Got the combo which is Char Siu and Seafood and they throw in carrots and one of the Choys. I may have overdone the chili sauce, but that's my weakness and I put it on everything. Now I know where to go for my Saimin...if only they had a Saimin-Chicken Combo...

Still a great downtown spot! Recently got pho takeout and I love how the soup is still piping hot even after walking back to the office. The serving size is decent and price is affordable compared to other pho places! They provide veggies and sauces when you takeout too - and don't forget to take some of their chili oil with you too! Service is super fast and it's always popular here.
