~~<p>Within the heart of burgeoning Kakaako, Ngon Vietnamese Cuisine is a welcome surprise. As small as it is, it's hard to miss, situated inside Herbal Spa and Saunas, a two-building complex that stands out in bright orange amidst the dull landscape of warehouses and auto repair shops.</p>
<p>It's tiny, with only five tables, and geared toward the sort of diner who doesn't mind alternative scenarios. Here it's the flow of spa-goers in various states of disarray while in search of relaxation, or emerging from a Jacuzzi or Himalayan salt cave sauna (more about the spa on my <a target="_blank" href="http://fashiontribe.staradvertiserblogs.com/">Fashion Tribe blog</a>). But don't let the shared lease deter you, or you'll miss out on some terrific food.</p>
