I'm always looking for the next best pho and this place hits the spot. Legit good broth (you can tell a broth made of simmering bones and a broth straight from a powder). Hubby got the beef stew and it's the bomb. I got the combo pho and it's soo ono read more

Yay I love Chao Tom or sugarcane shrimp wraps! So good! It comes on a platter and it's enough to feed 2 people! I never feel guilty eating Vietnamese food because there's so many Veges in their dishes and it's usually healthy. This is sorta hole in the wall no frills place in Chinatown but this place is legit! They also sell sugarcane juice here too! read more

Anh Hong - Chao Tom! - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Out with the old. In with the new. Broke up with my girlfriend and started Internet dating again. I met this cute girl on OKC and on our VERY FIRST DATE took her to Anh Hong. Taking someone you don't know to a restaurant you don't know seems crazy, right? But we had a blast. The place is decked out in what I call '70s shabby chic. Plastic flowers hang from the ceiling and floral cotton curtains at one end separate the dining room from the kitchen. An altar with glowing electric "candles", plastic fruit and a blissed out Kanon looks down on the cash register. The faux wood floor is clean and mirrors on both walls give the long skinny dining area a spacious feeling, even though there are only 8 tables. My date had the pho with beef. I had #15, which was vermicelli noodles with BBQ pork and spring rolls. My food was awesome. The spring rolls were crispy and tasty. Ample toppings on my noodles. And I loved all the fresh veggies. It made me think of a salad more than a bowl of noodles. Servings were generous. I was not able to finish mine, but my date chowed down every last bit of her pho. Then drank every bit of the soup. Our server was friendlier than most Chinatown waitstaff I've encountered and attentive. I'd give them five stars if they cleaned up the exterior window. From the outside, it doesn't look like the kind of place you'd want to dine. Inside is great, but from the outside it looks grim. Summary? Four stars for the restaurant and four and a 1/2 for the date. I'd go out with her again and would gladly return to Anh Hong. read more

Anh Hong - Bon bo hue fckn mayjah!! Real authentic viet food here! - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Been here several times now and the food is really really authentic. The accompanying veggies are all correct as well. Ordered: 1. Pho Dac Biet: savory broth with nice chunks of brisket and meatballs. 2. Bun Bo Hue: incredibly savory and true to the Hue's region's spicy level. Comes w/ blood cube, ham, pork hock with a side of banana flowers. 3. Bun Rieu: they got this dish absolutely correct to the tee. The broth flavor was nice and savory w/ a bit of tang from the tomatoes. Nice size crab meatballs. Also came w/ vegan sausage, blood cube, banana flowers, and sprouts. 4. Bun Mang Vit: very savory noodle dish, the bamboo were delicious and soft in the broth. Duck on the side. The true standout of this dish is the ginger fish sauce, perfectly spicy, tangy, and salty. Parking: Downtown Chinatown with some parallel spaces. There is also a metered garage but it's a bit hidden. Service: Really fast and friendly. The two ladies that served us are always so courteous, gives the place a nice local feel. They also start you off with iced tea. read more

If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese food, I would definitely give this place a try. Food is delicious and freshly made daily. Crabmeat noodles soup,Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef soup) and Duck salad with fresh bamboo soup noodles is my favorites there. read more

Pretty authentic Vietnamese joint in Chinatown. Their Bun Mam was delicious. Had enough anchovy flavor and isn't a usual menu item. They're generous with veggies, herbs and meat. read more

I was walking around Chinatown and was a bit hungry so I decided to try Anh Hong out I noticed a article in the window that Obama ate here, interesting. Well I scanned the menu and decided on the Combo Pho it came with a decent amount of Veggies and the soup was good and quite flavorful and a good decent size bowl of noodles. The service was quite quick and friendly so that was a plus. I should come back to try some of the other menu items. Parking of course is either the municipal parking or if you can find parking on the road somewhere. read more

Best service, always come here for bun Bo hue my family from California says they love it. All the veggies for bun Bo better then California . They are not cheap with their veggies. Banana roots, beans Sprouts, mint leaves, ong choi so yummy with shrimp paste and chili oil omg . read more

Always busy for good reason; it's the best place for pho. Wanted to try the spring rolls until I was told shrimp was mixed in with the pork filling. Got summer rolls instead and it was good. My go to spot now. read more

I remember coming here when the shop was called 99 Coffee, which was an odd name for this place. But I guess it's all part of the charm of Chinatown. The shop is physically connected to Kim An Restaurant and shares the same street address. Both are great places (in case you go to the unintended one by mistake.) I enjoy the bún bò huê (spicy beef soup) and phò here, but the bún riêu (crab-tomato soup) is the signature dish. It's extremely satisfying. The broth is flavorful, balanced, and sophisticated. There's crab cake, blood cake, tofu, and pig trotters, along with the noodles. The homemade crab cake is the highlight. So good.... You get a generous plate of mint, bean sprouts, lemon, and shaved banana blossom & morning glory. Very fresh. They also use "authentic" chilies here (not the jalapeños you get at Subway's.) You are served a refreshing complimentary glass of iced tea. Big fan of this shop. The people are super nice, and they remember you after a couple of visits. read more

My Vietnamese mom took me to this place last week...it's her new favorite when she visits the island. Now it's mine as well! My mom ordered the Vietnamese wrap (I don't know the name of it but it's #16 on the menu) but asked for a combination style (that's not on the menu...you have to ask for it). It came with lettuce, fresh herbs, grilled beef, pork, and grilled shrimp (shrimp paste wrapped around a sugarcane then grilled). A container filled with hot water was also brought out so you could dip your rice paper in it to soften before wrapping. So to make your wrap: soften the rice paper, add the lettuce, noodles, meat, veggies, herb. Wrap it up and dip into the fish sauce. One plate was enough for the two of us. We also got the Spicy Beef Soup. It comes with a plate of veggies and herbs (like when you order pho). I liked that the plate was stacked with fresh herbs. There were even a couple I didn't recognize (my mom couldn't tell me the English name for them). They added a delicious flavor and nice crunch to my soup. Word of warning if you order this soup, besides beef inside it also came with chunks of liver and pigs feet. I just gave those bits to my mom who really relishes that. I'm too Americanized to appreciate that. I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I'm half Vietnamese but don't speak the language at all. Before we left, I asked the owner Hong to show me how to order everything again so that way if my mom wasn't with me I knew what to do, lol. She was very nice and helpful. I'll definitely be back. read more

Hu Tieu (Vietnamese seafood noodle) was the best! I was so impressed, and forgot to take a photo

We tried both Bun Bo and Bun ca Nha Trang. Bun Bo is ok, but bun ca Nha Trang is not the right way. The broth for Bun Ca Nha Trang is too sweet and includes pineapple which is weird. read more

Nice little hole in the wall. Friendly service. We were greeted as soon as we came in and brought menus and iced tea. The vibe is very similar to those no frills, plastic stool spots in Vietnam that specialize in 1-2 dishes they do exceptionally well. Bun rieu and steamed duck noodle soup were super good. Bun bo hue was pretty good, but not as meaty and filling as Pho Que Huong's. Not bad at all, just not amazing. The accoutrements were all on point. They provide plenty of herbs, chili's, lemons and sauces to customize your dish to your liking. All in all, everything was great. The steamed duck was the highlight of our meal and tasted very similar to what you'd find in Vietnam. Give it a try and support this awesome local business. read more

Bun rieu or bun bo hue. Or get both Thats what I do ^_^ Delicious broths, and great customer service read more

Being Vietnamese myself, it's always hard finding a good spot when I move or visit a new town. Came here for lunch with a friend and she recommended it for their vermicelli noodle bowl so I gave it a try. I have been coming here ever since! Hands down, this is the best noodle bowl I've had in Honolulu. The noodles are perfect, not too dry but not mushy. The shrimp and spring roll combo that I always get is spot on. The shrimp are never overcooked and the spring rolls nice and crispy. All the normal toppings and nuoc mam sauce on the side. I had tried many other spots in Honolulu for the same noodle dish and Anh Hong does it the best. I'm not being paid for this review, nor do I personally know the family that owns it lol, not from here. So this is a totally unbiased review y'all! :) read more

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants to eat at when I'm in Chinatown. Speak of authentic Vietnamese food. I love their bun thang and hu tieu nam vang khô. All the Vietnamese restaurants I've been to has their typical pho, com tam, banh mi and so on, but I seriously think only anh hong serves bung thang on this whole island. I appreciate that they're open early at 7am. Though, I wish they were open for dinner. That would be so convenient! read more

Pretty good hu tieu. The broth had reasonably good flavor and was interestingly thick, like they'd mixed a little cornstarch or tapioca flour into it. My memory is a little hazy because I had a bit of a stomach bug when I came in, hoping that hu tieu would comfort me. (It did.) I'll definitely be back to try the bun bo hue. read more

Was shopping in downtown and was heading over to Little Village when I passed this place. They had a picture of bun riue in the window. NOT! I had to back up and look again. Oh yesh! Change of plans. I haven't had Bun Riue in a while. Mostly because I can't find it. Place was clean, score points there for a shop in downtown. Only had eight tables and all were occupied. Asked if I didn't mind sitting with another customer, sure why not. So I got to sit with two other customers who didn't know each other. Three strangers, one table. Just like Shriokiya Japan Village Walk. Sit with strangers, and eat your food. Don't even need to exchange pleasantries. Didn't need a menu. Knew what I wanted right away. Seems like everyone there didn't need a menu. They just sat and ordered.. The water tasted funky, tasted like the food. Even the glass smelled like the food. Bun Rieu was served in a medium size bowl. It was okay for $11. But the veggies were epic! Mint, Basil, Sprouts, etc... All looked fresh and clear of any spots or damage. I would give the veggies alone five stars. Each leaf looked like it was individually cleaned. No rat lung disease feared here. There was some chopped Chili's in there also. Wow they were spicy. Unlike jalapeno where the spicy blends with the surrounding ingredients, so know you gonna bite one. These finely chopped Chili's hold their heat till you bite them. So as you munching down your food, watch out for too many of those tiny red pieces in your bite. Ended up drinking that water anyway. Broth, had a firm, but not heavy flavor. Which I personally liked. It didn't drown the flavors of the other ingredients. Pig knuckle was small and tough, about 1/2 inch, not worth the effort to pry the bone to get to the meat. Crab was good, one small piece shrimp, and two blood cubes. Dropped two stars for the funky water and $11, from the quantity served. read more

I went to this place for lunch on Saturday - it was crowded, but they quickly cleaned the table for us :) (must be super popular place, as people were coming in and put for the whole time we were there!!) I ordered Hu Tieu Nam Vang, a seafood noodle. I was surprised - there were two types of noodles in it!! One was clear rice noodle, chewy but easy to slurp. The other one was egg noodle, kind of ramen type. They both matched with the broth, full of mild seafood taste and aroma. It came with shrimp, fish ball, slices of meat, and some veggies :) It was interesting to try two different noodles in a single bowl :) read more

I think this is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant on Oahu. No, in Hawaii. This unassuming Vietnamese restaurant in the Vietnamese strip of Chinatown serves some of the tastiest, authentic Vietnamese food. You'll find this place by its laughing cow sign outside. If you come here, you MUST try the bún riêu (crab tomato broth). Holy cow, what an amazing broth! The broth is full bodied and SO flavorful. It comes with thicker noodles (not pho noodles), crab in every bite, pig's blood, and much more. Everything bodes so well together that I wish I had a bowl right now. Tip: Use the chili peppers sparingly. Unlike other Vietnamese places, this place uses legit peppers that are SPICY! This place also has great pho, spicy beef broth, and wraps at reasonable prices. read more

It never disappoints. They're nice and they are arre always walking around to give you more tea. If you're looking for legit Vietnamese food, this place is amazing. read more

When I run in the mood for Vietnamese food this is the place I go to. I really enjoyed the shrimp and sugarcane roll up as well as the various noodle dishes. It's clean friendly and delicious.

Anh Hong - Shrimp/beef Bun bowl! - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Hands down one of the best Bun Bo Hue I've ever had, including SF and San Jose. Pros: + Every authentic ingredient from meats to veggies is there. Very few shops will do this. + Super tasty broth. Yum + Great deal for $10. + Well packaged take-out to ensure quality noodles at home. + Very nice chef, mommy. Cons: - Chinatown parking. - Interior needs some love. We are crazy lucky to have Anh Hong. Other noodle shops, take note, we have a star in the building. read more

Love eating at a mom/pop shop as the food is consistent and delicious, just like home cook meals!Very authentic and we always make sure to stop by whenever we're in the area. Coming from the bay area, this place made our days when we crave for viet food. Will definitely continue to support this business when we're in the area. Highly recommended. read more

My mom came over from Maui to help me at the dealership, so she always has to do her rounds in Chinatown. It's like tradition that each time she visits we get pho at Saigon Vietnamese Cuisine. But on this particular day, they were closed. Hmph. So we found this place and went in. I think my uncle took us here before, and they remodeled since then. I think we came here in 2012. Anyways, I got the Lemongrass Chicken w/ Rice plate and mom got the Bun Bo Hue. I was impressed with my plate. It was SPICY though, s o if you do not like spicy, be careful with this dish. Mom was unimpressed with her Bun Bo Hue, she said the broth was "too sweet" and not spicy, and their pig's blood wasn't as good as SVC. Price was similar to other restaurants in the area. Service is ok. They left us alone for most part, and didn't bother making small talk lol. read more

I have to say that they make some great Bun Bo Hue here! It's a place that Mink and I dine at very often because the food always comes out hot and mouth watering good. She likes the shredded pork rolls and summer roll here as either her main course or appetizer. If she goes with soup, she likes to get the wonton mein with no calamari and extra fish cake. They are very good at accommodating her substitution. I always get the Bun Bo Hue here because it's one of my favorite in Honolulu. They give you a large plate of fresh vegetables to add to your soup which is awesome. One unique item they give is little chili peppers to help add spice to your soup if you like it extra spicy! Parking is very easy with all the parking options of garage or street. It's very close to downtown and near the bus stops as well. The place is clean and we really like the tea water beverage they serve everyone. It's a nice and refreshing difference from other restaurants. read more

FIRST TO REVIEW?!! How is this possible? This place has been here for 6 months! How do I know you ask? Well let me tell you a funny little story. On my very special (read: lazy) day off today, I was updating some Yelp reviews and noticed a ROTD about an off-the-beaten-track Vietnamese place that rocks on Bun Bo Hue. Sure I'll check it out, what else is there to do today? Plug address into map app, drive, park, walk. How hard is this? Walk in and sit down, get a menu. Look for some Chicken Rice and Bun Bo Hue. No chicken rice.. hmmm. Weird. "Everyone on Yelp loves it, is Yelp wrong?" Flip the menu over. Anh Hong. "Hm... weird, did they change owners? Excuse me, did you change names?" "6 months ago we took over." Ok whatever, maybe Yelp is having an off day. OK well they have the Bun Bo Hue, we'll take that. EFFING AWESOME. So nice. The pigs blood was nice and tender, not over cooked. Beef was super soft and had nice gelatinous pieces of tendon. Huge side plate of galanga, mint and chiles to boot. Chewy rice noodles. YES. OK fast forward to the end of the meal, pay with card, chat with staff and leave. Only to look to my right as I exit and I see what I was originally looking for.... DERRRR. 2 restaurants, 1 building, similar address and similar themed menus. What's a guy to do? Well the only thing logical, and I walked right into the next place and ordered another bowl of Bun Bo Hue. I have to say, Ahn Hong has them beat. read more

Wanted to love this place. And it was really good, just not love at first sight. Had the Bun Rieu and the bun (cold vermicelli) with grilled pork and spring roll. The Bun Rieu had a lot of different proteins, some mystery meat and things like tofu. I am OK with mystery protein, but they didn't have a lot of taste. The broth was very good and crabby. The bun with pork and sprint roll was good - fresh lettuce, noodles. All the right things. Will come back. A good set of "adventurous" dishes will keep me experimenting. read more

I came here on a Thursday for lunch - Bun Bo Hue is delicious! The restaurant is located on the busy street of King with 6-8 tables. The service is very typical of a Vietnamese restaurant - sit down, order and food comes out. No pleasantries whatsoever unless you speak Vietnamese. The Bun Bo Hue comes in one size - I would say that it's size small. So, if you're super hungry and have a big appetite, make sure you order something else or ask them to double the order. The broth is delicious and loaded with all the RIGHT ingredients. This place makes authentic bun bo hue, accompanied by the right herbs. It was $10.00. I will absolutely return and definitely recommend. read more

Great Vietnamese food! I've eaten here a couple of times and every time I go I try a different dish. Everything is delicious and fresh. We're always seated quickly and served iced tea, the servers are friendly and efficient, and the food is to die for. Love the meat wrapped shrimp appetizer and the rice soup with pork organs! After visiting Vietnam there and having the food there, this is one of the few places I've eaten at on island where the food is comparable. read more
