Fort Street Café

Price hike to $8.85 for this 6 pc tuna roll. That's $1.47 a piece and they are not that big. One inch all around to be exact.

I get it. Prices every where went up but I could've gotten a sandwich for $2 more that would fill me up.

It has been awhile since I ate at the Forth Street Cafe. The food has always been great, I just no longer work I the area.

I just happened to be working in a project in town with my business partner and needed to grab a quick bite, when I remembered to Garlic Chicken and Panang Curry Combo plate I used to enjoy there.

As always the Garlic Chicken was flavorful and crispy. It is butterflied open and boneless, which gives it a nice crunch and flavor in every bite. The Panang Curry has a great basil and coconut milk flavor, but not too much. It also has the right amount of spice, which does really well with the jasmine rice.

I wish I still worked in the area or they move closer to my home.

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.

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

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.

So convenient and so good. I always walk past this place on the way to the gym. Today I decided to get an early lunch from fort street cafe and it was the best decision I made all day. I got the chicken curry combo and it was amazing. The chicken was tender and saucy, the curry had the right amount of flavor and the combo was a good size. It was very quick to get my food in and out in about 5 minutes. The area isn't the nicest but they have a few seats inside.

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.

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!

Vincent and his team are amazing!! Ordered 35 Banh Mi sandwiches for a business meeting and he not only delivered it to our meeting place but brought a dolly and actually walked the containers (with sands labeled and separated in pans) up to our meeting room! His service was done with kindness and warm hospitality. Mahalo nui, Vincent!
