Le Yellow Sub Food Truck

On Hilo’s casual food-truck circuit, the useful question is not whether this is a drawn-out dining plan. Le Yellow Sub Food Truck is a Vietnamese food truck with a verified $15-per-person price point and weekday daytime hours. If the first visit was a simple stop, the clearest return orders are the signatures: banh mi, summer rolls, lemongrass tofu.

The format is casual: a food truck with counter service. That matters. This is not a venue to describe as a full sit-down restaurant from the information available. Treat it as a daytime food stop in Hilo, especially when the plan calls for something direct and low-friction.

Go for Vietnamese staples, not a full restaurant experience

The menu’s appeal is its Vietnamese focus. The grounded anchors are banh mi, summer rolls, lemongrass tofu, which give first-time visitors a clear starting point without needing to invent a broader menu.

For a repeat visit, order around those signatures. A banh mi and summer rolls make sense when you want something more complete; lemongrass tofu is another reason to stop. The truck format also makes it a direct choice: order at the counter, keep the meal casual, move on with the day.

Readers looking for a broader Hilo plan can use the full Hilo restaurants guide, then decide whether this should be the quick daytime stop rather than the main meal. Other Hilo dining options may fit better when the occasion calls for a more conventional sit-down plan.

The drinks program is not the reason to choose it

The information for Le Yellow Sub Food Truck is about food, hours, price, format, not a beverage program. If the goal is a drinks-led outing, plan that separately. The smarter use case is a casual Vietnamese food-truck stop in Hilo.

Because no specific beverage identity is here, the meal decision should rest on the food. That makes Le Yellow Sub Food Truck easier to frame as a daytime eating option than as a special-occasion plan. It works well for diners who are comfortable with a casual counter-service food-truck format.

How to use it in a Hilo itinerary

Use this as the flexible food slot in the day. The hours are Monday–Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with Friday–Sunday closed, so it is not a weekend or dinner plan based on the available facts.

The verdict: go if the priority is a low-friction Vietnamese food-truck stop in Hilo, especially for banh mi, summer rolls, or lemongrass tofu. Skip it if the occasion needs a longer sit-down meal or a format beyond what is here. Le Yellow Sub Food Truck is also listed as a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured restaurant in 2026.
