    I know what you're thinking, "there's no place in Honolulu where I can enjoy excellent sauteed pho while also listening to half of Nickelback's discography!" Well, have I got good news for you! My wife and I ordered the sautéed pho with chicken for dine-in, and we were serenaded several times by Nickelback while we enjoyed our meal. Yes, that's right, every other song that was played loudly over the speaker system was a lovely Nickelback tune. The perfect ambiance for sautéed pho, amiright?! Seriously though, the sautéed pho was absolutely delicious and we scarfed every last bit of it.

    This place is absolutely amazing the ladies working at the back are smiling and happy. The rock music is so cool and really amazing. The food is so simple, clean ans healthy ans being a chef I love how they have incorporated vegan or veg meals into their menu which makes it so easy for everyone. If you are plant based and want insane food yes ....and they are very well priced

    We picked up food twice - such a lovely owner, so nice, friendly, and helpful! We loved the fried rolls the most but also the curry and noodles were great. You can get everything as a vegan option with tofu - and it’s tasty marinated tofu not plain tofu as in other places! Great place to pick food and go have dinner on the beach!

    My 8 yr requests to eat pho everywhere he goes. He approves. I took a bite of his beef pho. It was gooood! I got a chicken baguette for the airport. Delicious! It is nicely located across from our stay and fun to people watch.

    This place was fantastic. I was walking around waiting for my hotel check-in time and this Vietnamese spot piqued my interest. I stopped in for a pork banh mi (“Vietnamese baguette”), and it was fantastic. The bread and toppings were very fresh, and the inside of the restaurant was cozy, neat, and clean, with friendly staff. I’ll make a point of being back before my trip is over.

    Such a cute vibe with fantastic service. Delicious tofu bahn mi and vegan pho platter. No line and quick service. You can even see them cooking! Quiet enough to talk here. Love the compostable dishware, though I wish eating in used non-disposable products. Overall, great price, food, and service. I’d definitely come back. Also love that they sell their well-seasoned, pre-cooked, healthy plant-based proteins at a decent price! Definitely worth visiting. Update: sad to see some of the plant-based messaging go and it looks like they no longer sell their plant-based proteins. Still a great spot to have a bunch of clearly-vegan food options right by Waikiki.

    Vegetarian and vegan friendly! They have just changed their menu. The service is great and friendly. Their summer rolls are some of the best! Check them out while you're in Waikiki

    What a nice surprise! Very reasonable prices, fast service. I had the pho with pork. Very delicious! Big portion. And I highly recommend the ginger lemonade- real slices of ginger. Super refreshing. You should go.

    This review is for those planning on placing TO GO food. I ate here the first time we arrived to Hawaii and nothing was open and close by. It was good but not great coming from a person who has grown up on pho. The got docked a star because they are one of the restaurants who closes earlier than the posted time. When I got denied to go, there were plenty of people waiting for food and 20 minutes till they closed. I reserve lesser stars for bad experiences and I understand staff would like to go home. But if you plan to order, come earlier than the posted times or possibly get denied.

    Fantastic atmosphere! Unique seating arrangements! And all about the street food! 10 item menu, good Vietnamese iced coffee, and a crispy twist to the spring rolls. I would recommend this place for a quite date night or close friends chat room. The food comes in disposable containers, freshly made, and the pho broth is clean with just the right amount of veggies for a northern style pho bowl.

  • 5/5 Lea R. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh man, I find most of the food around here too rich, too sweet, and too big. I had the chicken pho and it was exactly what my body needed. The portions were still ample (I couldn't finish it) and it was fast! I don't think I had sat down for more than a minute when it arrived. The staff were friendly and the ambiance and music was fun. I also like that they open early, I am not a big fan of breakfast food so this was perfect. I wish I had found this place sooner!

    The spring rolls were okay, but I really loved the sauteed pork noodles! Employees working here are so kind.

  • 5/5 Ben Sarsgard (. 1 year ago on Google
    Simple and delicious, most menu items are made with the same 5-6 ingredients but with different sauces and formats. This is not a bad thing, as those ingredients are perfection! My favorite is the summer rolls, which are large enough to be a full meal on their own. Everything is great, we came here for lunch and it was so good that we came back again for dinner!

  • 5/5 Bijul A. 1 year ago on Google
    This food was so amazingly delicious. We got the bahn mi, salad, and fresh rolls (all with tofu). I've never had a salad so perfectly fresh and juicy. The bahn mi was crispy and full of flavor as well. I wish I could keep coming back here. Definitely 100% recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Zoe K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the best tasting things I have ever had. Their vegan bāhn mi is heavenly. Their bread is wonderful and soft. We also had their banana rolls and they’re quite tasty too.

  • 5/5 Stephen G. 1 year ago on Google
    You know that one local food joint that looks awful but serves fantastic food? This is that!! Trashy looking lights and music but the fried pho was delicious and featured fresh herbs. Great spring rolls too and deep fried banana was a tasty treat to finish it off with! The unique stools and chairs were not comfortable and the bar/counter is not big enough to eat at. I did see lots of people getting take out so that's probably the way to go here. Would definitely recommend.

    Small quiet place that was clean. The pork banh mi - Vietnamese Baguette was ok, but nothing special. The chicken crispy spring rolls were pretty good overall and so was the dipping sauce that came with it. Prices were also fair. Overall, three out of five stars for these items.

  • 5/5 Rocky K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a modern Vietnamese restaurant with industrial look settling. Staff is friendly and food is very fresh and tasty. We had to prepay for our meal, but the food did not disappoint, we had shrimp rolls, papaya salad and noodle and some soup. The restaurant is trendy and prices are very reasonable along with very tasty food. Eat in or take out, both options are available, Food preparation is excellent, there is a bit of a lineup in the evenings, so be prepared to wait a bit. This is a self service restaurant so don’t be shocked but the quality of food won’t disappoint you. I will recommend this place if you are in Waikiki

  • 3/5 Joohee J. 8 months ago on Google
    Walked in to dine in, ordered Pho with beef. It’s just average taste, nothing special. But it was weird that soup was served on paper To-go bowl. Taking order, serving food but no other customer service other than that. Feel like it’s just take-out situation. Might come back with no expectation. However, friendly workers.

    Super excited to get some Viet food, they were okay but they didn’t hit the spot or meet the expectations but there are limitations with what’s available within Hawaii The ginger lemonade on the other hand OMFG hands down amazing, best thing I’ve had in a long time

  • 5/5 Lori A. 7 months ago on Google
    Fresh delicious huge salad! You would think that in a place like Waikiki that there would be food like this on every corner but it’s actually not that easy to find. It’s a great concept, but the location can make things difficult on a business owner. I’ve never seen businesses do very well in this particular location, so hopefully people will find it because this is exactly what people crave on a hot day! I’ll be back!

    Stopped in for a light snack before the beach and their spring rolls (non-fried) really hit the spot! They're made to order, so the rice paper texture was just right and the veggies were nice and crisp. They're also generously sized and I loved that picked veggies and a little egg roll stick are wrapped inside for extra flavor and texture. I'll definitely be back for more!
