    Aloha all, this is my 3rd favorite PHo place on Oahu. It's got great location and free parking in building. They have great soup base and delicious spring rolls. The place is a great size so usually always has seats. They offer small, large and extra large pho bowls.

    The noodles was fine but the toppings was so grossed! They gave me the left over meat or something because the meat was stinky and all black colors! Don’t waste your money at this place folks!

    Overall one of the best pho spots on this side of town. Might be a little pricier than most places but this is normal prices nowadays. Very tasty and hot broth. I usually get the combination with meat outside and cooked bean sprouts. Fresh veggies and jalepenos is always adds to it depending on your mood. Bahn mi is pretty good, bbq pork is my favorite. Just wished they had the mayo like they got in vegas. Still good, especially for take out. Chicken feet salad is the best. Don't know of any other restaurant that makes this. They somehow take the bones out for you. Very attentive and friendly staff. Lots of free parking too

    Great food and prices. Can get busy on weekends but during the week not too bad. Parkingvin garage but limited. Service was good. They have one of my favorites, rice porridge with beef. Huge bowls of Pho and all the sides. Always ask for the peanut sauce. Worth the trip and I'll be back!

    We went to this resturant for lunch. It is under new ownership since September and we received a discount as it was the first day under new owners. I am not an expert in Vietnamese food so my review might not be that useful in terms of food choices. I am a vegetarian and I was able to find a few options for myself. Would have loved to explore more options had we been not short on time. Their Vietnamese coffee is great and gives you a kick, would recommend. Food could have been better.

    Their Seafood Pho is fantastic. Pho is one of my favorite dishes, so trust me on this one! 😉 I'll definitely be back. The soup base is light and delicate but absolutely full of flavor, I'm really impressed. The waitstaff is also very nice!!

    Incredible staff, willing to explain how to eat the pho proteins with dipping sauces. Also, made good recommendations for portion sizes and adding mint. Amazing flavors, out shining other Vietnamese restaurants I've tried in the contiguous United States.

    Authentic Vietnamese food on Kapiolani Ave, near Target. We dined here Sat, 6/27, 6pm. Crowd started coming in at 7pm. We had the beef brisket pho (13.75) and the 2-beef pho (14.75), soda (2) and bud lite (3). Reasonable Honolulu prices.

    Hands down great pho, bun Bo hue , egg rolls very authentic , 👍for service 😋.. couldn’t give it five stars bc of pricing but comparable pricing to other restaurants. We ended up ordering dinner to go & even attempted returning for third time on our stay .

    Food is fine Pho was good but you should know that if you choose 'no choice' of beef pho, you will get a pho without any beef Fried rice was fine but not special I feel a bit expensive

    The ingredients are fresh and presentation is clean and appealing. An attractive space for eating, as well. We have been going for the vermicelli (cold noodle) with spring rolls but we should branch out and try something else. It's just that we like this!

  • 3/5 ROMI A. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to come here for years. I went recently with a party of 3 and was shocked that my bill was $100 for 2 bun salads, 1 pho, and 1 spring roll appetizer plate. Pho is supposed to be casual and affordable. My shrimp pho was $22 and the spring roll app was $17. The menu photos on google need to be upgraded as they do not reflect the current prices. I will say that the food was better with nicer presentation… and they upgraded the menus and serving ware but for these prices I’m sorry, I’ll opt for sushi or something fancier.

    If you are a tourist or look like a tourist this is not the place for you unless you want to get overcharged. I believe they thought I was a Tourist but I actually live in the building next-door to them and I just wanted a couple of bottled waters. Or employee for two dollars which I was fine with but when it was rung up it was only a dollar. I said great I’ll take 3 more.then the other staff member it’s like that’s the old price they’re two dollars each then when I asked for an itemized receipt because I wanted to make sure he wasn’t just typing a numbers he said …oh you’re paying with card $10 minimum
