Spicy Beef Noodle/Bún Bò Huế and closer one is da best Bún mắm!
Kim N.

The best bun bo Hue ( flavorful soup; generous amount of beef shanks , tendons and pig feet; and variety of herbal vegetables ) and the best bun mam ( fermented fish favor soup; generous portions of eggplant, fish fillet, shrimp, steamed pork paste, squid, roast pork; and plenty of vegetable) on the island!

Bun Bo Hue

Heard this place had some of the best BBH and decided to try it out - definitely was not disappointed! The BBH tasted very authentic and was dank. Also ordered the combo rice plate - the grilled pork was seasoned nicely. Will be back!

Steamed Rice Cakes/ Bánh Bèo Chén (12 Pieces)

Someone said this was the best bun bo hue on island and I was skeptical, but I will have to agree!! It was loaded with meat, each cooked perfectly, and the broth was so flavorful that I didn't have to add anything. This may also be the only place on island that sells banh beo?! I was looking for this everywhere and I'm glad i finally got to try it, they were 12 little delicious cups of joy. I am dying to come back to try their other dishes, man it was so good. Restaurant is clean and service is friendly as well.

Bun bo hue

We were getting groceries in Chinatown and stopped by Kieu Vietnamese Cuisine for lunch. The restaurant was pretty spacious and clean. The water they gave us has jasmine tea added into it which was fragrant and refreshing. Banh beo: The only place so far that served these savory Vietnamese rice cakes in Honolulu. (If you know anywhere else, let me know). Anyways, the banh beo was good. It wasn't too thick or thin. It was enough that the toppings on top don't break through or the skin to rip. The rice cake was soft and the toppings were typically what you see on banh beo. It was a mixed of different textures from soft to crunchy. The fish sauce was light but enough to give it additional flavor. Bun bo hue: This wasn't too bad. I love that they use thicker rice noodles which what is usually use for authentic bun bo hue. The broth was good but not too in depth with the authentic flavors. Overall, it was a good meal. Service was quick. Definitely a place to check out in Chinatown.

Crab soup with tomatoes assorted seafood came out hot with lots of vegetables. Pigs feet was tender and noodles tasty. Lots of take out orders for lunch. Water filled on time . You have to park on the street..

We tried this place out and thought it was really yummy, clean, spacious and great service! Their bbq chicken banh mi was AMAZING! I know, I sound basic to rave about a sandwich but IYKYK a sammie can be a chef's kiss on the tastebuds. The bread was light and crispy, it did not cut the roof of my mouth. The chicken was so juicy and covered in an umami bbq sauce that was giving me unagi/ teriyaki sauce vibes even though I know that's probably not what they used. The veggies were plentiful and fresh. 11/10!! I did not get a photo but it's tasty memory lives on in my heart. We also got the citrus beef salad which was packed with tender rare beef and lots of fresh herbs and topped with crispy peanuts and shallots in a delish sweet citrus dressing that was oh so refreshing. Last up, and the reason why I wanted to try this spot was they make Banh beo which is hard to find so I was excited to try something new. Honestly, we didn't really care for it, but now we know! It is freshly steamed rice rice and tapioca flour that was still kind of soft like a custard pancake topped with dried shrimp, tofu and herbs. Overall it was awesome and we look forward to going back and trying more things.

Bun Bo Hue (good)
Kelly D.

You know what's crazy? I was never a Bun Bo Hue girly until earlier this year. I would eat it but no place really stuck with me until my parents were telling me how this is the best one in Chinatown (maybe on the island idk) so I was like alright let me try it again. Don't judge me but I don't care for the noodle type in BBH so I usually substitute it with glass noodles (top tier) or pho noodles if they don't have the first. One sip and I was wowed: it is spicy but the lemongrass flavor is so on point! I even saved the broth to eat it with rice later. I also like how they ask if you want all the toppings (ie. pigs feet, pigs blood) because I know it can be too adventurous for some people, so that reduces waste Another reason why I love this place is because they offer Banh Beo! For those who don't know, it's a Vietnamese style steam rice cake dish topped with mung bean, prawn floss, and some green onions with fish sauce on the side. This is one of my favorite dishes and Vietnamese restaurants here don't really make it so imagine my squealing when I saw it on their wall. They only open for the morning/afternoon which is a bummer because I would love to come here for dinner as well!

Came here for Bun Bo Hue, spicy beef noodle soup. Kieu is know as the best place for it and friends say it's the closest to what they could in Vietnam. I ordered it without the blood (cubes) it came with beef shank, tendon, pork sausage and pig feet. It was flavorful and came with a plate of veggies and fresh herbs to mix in; bean sprouts, basil, lime, and even banana flower which you don't normally find outside of Vietnam. I thought there was a deep flavor but was only mildly spicy. It's richer and more bold than pho broth. The noodles were different than pho noodles, they were white and round,maybe a rice noodle? I think I might order it with pho noodles next time. They are located in Chinatown so parking will have to be at one of the municipal lots or if you park on the street and walk. Service was friendly and prompt. I'd come back to try the pho or banh mi or the bun Bo hue with pho noodles.

Delicious bun rieu!!!
Rebecca T.

Wow the flavors are so good here. It might be the best Bun Bo Hue, bun rieu and pho on the island. We always frequent another more popular Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown and decided to switch it up and try something new. SO GLAD we did! Their Bun Bo Hue flavor was so bold and had a lot of depth and umami, quite lemongrassy too. Just a whole bowl of goodness. Their bun rieu tasted really flavorful, and toward the end maybe a little too salty. (Make sure drink a lot of tea that they offer.) most of all, after having gone to so many pho places for combo pho, the broth here was probably one of the best. The flavor was so well balanced. We packed the broth home and mixed it with pasta for the kid. I tried it and I loved it. He ate the whole bowl with the meatballs. The only thing I wish it would be different was that the spring rolls could be a bit more crispy. The clam appetizer could use a bit more herbs. Not sure if I'll get these dishes again. I also wanna try something new next time. But for sure I'll get their noodle soup again and again! Come check them out and you won't regret it!

B N.

We had the bun rieu and bun Bo hue. Things were good but a bit on the salty side. Not bad but ok. Overall service was really good. 20%+ tip for sure.

I could've sworn I reviewed Pho Que Huong before, but guess not. This is my favorite pho shop…read moreon-island thus far. This place is constantly busy, and for good reason. The food is unbelievable! Sometimes there's a line out the door, but the team is efficient--so always wait! This location is in Chinatown on Maunakea. If you're lucky, you can snag a metered parking spot nearby. Pho Que Huong is super clean, and I love how they decorate for holidays. Family-owned, this local business is very welcoming. Plenty of tables. Clean restrooms for paying customers. The food and drink are made with utmost care. The produce is always fresh and clean. The pho broth is unmatched. Not too sweet, lovely and aromatic. Portions are generous for the price point. Vietnamese coffee is a must! Strong and sweet--yum! The spring rolls even taste "healthy" here in that they're not too oily, and made with fresh ingredients. The customer service is always on-point, whether eating in or taking out. Note: They do not offer XL size for takeout. I think it's sweet they don't advertise otherwise, since they don't have the proper containers for that amount of food. Be sure to check out this authentic Vietnamese spot!

I have been living in Hawaii for five years and have eaten at this restaurant countless times. But…read moreafter today, I am utterly disgusted and will never step foot in this place again. Your service is absolute garbage. This morning, I called to place an order. I initially tried using Vietnamese to order two PDBs, but the woman who answered couldn't understand me. I switched to English and asked for two "Pho Combinations." She understood that, took the order, and told me it would be ready in 10 minutes. I also wanted to order Quẩy, so I asked, "Can I get one Quẩy?" Again, she didn't understand. So I clarified in English: "Add one Chinese doughnut." Guess what her response was? She condescendingly told me, "This is a Vietnamese restaurant, not a Chinese restaurant." What the hell is your problem? On your very own menu, that item is literally listed as a "Chinese doughnut." As a server, you don't even know your own restaurant's menu, yet you have the audacity to respond to a customer with such an arrogant, rude, and racially discriminatory attitude. It's disgusting. Everyone knows you are a Vietnamese restaurant. But Quẩy is widely known as a Chinese doughnut, and that is exactly how it is written on your menu. Learn your own menu. To make matters worse, when I arrived 20 minutes later, the front desk told me my phone order hadn't even been made yet and that I had to wait. What on earth was the point of me calling ahead? It's a complete joke. If you are going to be this arrogant and rude, and if you hate Chinese culture so much, why is your restaurant located in Chinatown? Why don't you move to a Vietnamese neighborhood? This is Chinatown. This restaurant has incredibly low-quality staff and a glaring issue with discrimination. It is absurd that an employee can work here without even knowing the menu. To openly disrespect and discriminate against Chinese customers--when you are located in Chinatown and 80% of your repeat customers are Chinese--is pathetic. Take your business elsewhere.

I heard they will keep this space for special events. The restaurant is quite busy and I'm glad we had reservations. Good thing I was there prior to lunch hour opening, otherwise we may lose our reservations since the person who made reservations tends to be habitual in arriving late. We dined in May, but it's been awhile since I first dined here. I preferred dining in Chinatown during lunch time than at dinner. Our waiter was really nice and helpful. I forgot his name, but I remembered that his eyeglasses that he wore was cool/funny, since the frames for each eye didn't match the other eye! lol. Funny it wasn't me who first noticed it. One was square frame and the other was a round frame! The restaurant doesn't do anything special for birthdays except may write Happy Birthday in chocolate on the dessert plate that you purchase for the birthday person. Their desserts are unique and refreshing. I think there are some rotating desserts /flavors like their seasonal menu for their main menu. I guess you can always keep coming back without being bored of the menu! I was bummed to see a previous dish posted of a pasta that I wanted to try that wasn't on the current spring seasonal menu! When we dined for brunch over the weekend, I was able to get the Hainan chicken with the crispy roast pork combo. It was very filling , tasty and satisfying. I do love ginger sauce on the cold ginger chicken but sometimes the chicken is just okay. This Hainan chicken was really good and the chicken was really moist! I thought it was the best I've tried! It was good that I wanted to takeout one last time in August before they moved! No more the 50/50 combo with the crispy roast pork on the lunch menu during the weekday. It was on the spring menu. Of course it's best to eat it in the restaurant than for take out. Bathroom is a must for me when dining out and they had only one shared bathroom for everyone! There was a guy who tried to make several attempts but wasn't successful, since there was always someone in the restroom. I'm glad the waiter told me there was a bigger separate bathroom with several stalls for men and ladies upstairs. You go straight through the kitchen to catch the elevator and to another kitchen /storage area! Thank Goodness! Best wishes at your new location. You offer yummy and tasty food!

When we arrived, we were the first guests so got to pick our table. When we sat down at the pretty wooden booth, there was a happy hour menu on the table. What?!? And YAY!! There was a 2-for special on the cocktails and you could select from the full menu which featured an extravagant and eclectic selection. There were wine and beer specials too but we were here for the cocktails. From the happy hour menu, we ordered the vegan spring rolls, chicken wings, and the Bo Ne Steak--a Vietnamese breakfast with bone marrow, cubed steak, sunny side eggs and a baguette. I can vouch for the spring rolls, light and crunchy without being oily. I don't eat land animals but my friend said the wings were divine. And they give you gloves to eat them. So civilized (ha) and a nice touch! She loved the bone marrow and steak. There was so much food she didn't finish it so I took it home to the hubby who devoured it. No complaints and only smiles from him! I wanted to try a couple pescatarian dishes from the regular menu so ordered the lemongrass clams which was AH-mazing! Could have been my favorite dish of the night because the flavors were unexpected but undeniably good. And, the garlic salmon bun (vermicelli noodles) was fantastic. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was savory yet light. I've never seen this option at any other Vietnamese restaurant and it certainly elevates the traditional dish which usually comes with meat, tofu, or spring rolls. (You can still order the bun with these options and they let you choose your protein combos.) Finally, (I told you there was a lot of food) we ordered the banana blossom salad. I rarely see this offering at other Vietnamese restaurants. It's hard to describe but I refer to this dish as the red-carpet version of the green papaya salad. It's more dressed up and sophisticated. A real treat and a must-have if you're dining at An Di Dzo. Parking was easy since it's at Ward (by the theaters or you can park anywhere in the village). The restaurant is clean and modern. And the service was courteous and professional. Our server Alex was great and made the evening extra special. An Di Dzo is open for lunch and dinner. They also offer some vegan options so I'll be back. Hubby enjoyed the leftovers so much he wants to give it a dine-in try. You don't have to ask me twice! Highly recommend you give them a try, too.

If you're in the area, I'd suggest trying this place out!

Chinatown has a lot of crime and homeless in the area so I would firstly recommend to go when the market is busy! 7am-12pm is a sweet spot where the food, produce and everything in the area comes alive. I'm Vietnamese and it was a very affirming and comforting experience for me when so many other Vietnamese folks came first thing in the morning to get their grub at Thuong An Lac. That's when you know you've found THE spot. Major Recommendations: -Viet Iced Coffee (prob the best you'll find on island easily) -Beef Stew + Baguette (so HEARTY. I've had both vegan and non vegan beef stews and it's spot on) We loved everything we got there. The water they serve you has pandan in it and tastes very very good. I still think about it!! There's so much love squeezed into everything they have there. They also sell a lot of snacks that they make and it's honestly FIRE as well. A lot of customers came in for the snacks too. Parking: There's a lot of nearby parking ranging from $2-6. A lot of people opt for the Chinatown municipal parking. It'll be a bit of a walk so plan accordingly. The restaurant is small and can only have a few parties in at a time. It's no frills but feels like you're just visiting your Aunt or Grandma's house. Prices are fair, not overpriced.

Would've loved more cilantro but that's my preference. Side salad mix with the soy duck was definitely different and I really enjoyed that the most. The bean curd skin was a nice touch. The sauce with ginger was great imo (I'm a cold ginger chicken poke type person). It's like a cold ginger chili garlic vinaigrette. Would come by here again and try something else. As others mentioned it's a small tiny restaurant with about 5-6 tables maybe 25ish people max? Parking is street meter or paid parking garage. It's right on the corner looking to Oahu Market.

Both entrees and the salad are good serving size. I like the spring rolls and wish had more but that's just me. The service is excellent even though it was pretty busy. The waiter apologized for being late but it was quite understandable. He's so polite. The lady who might be the owner was very pleasant and personable. It was a very good experience. The only thing that might be a slight problem like any other restaurant on Kapahulu is parking.

Place seem clean and nice . Good service . Attentive staffs and polite . 4*…read more Order a pho and spring roll . Taste decent . Pho broth ok not enough meat flavor . Meat ball and slice steak very little quantity. Spring roll slightly oily inside . 3*

Pho Time is our go-to pho spot in Central Oahu when we're craving pho and don't want to drive into…read moretown. We tried the BBQ pork summer rolls. They only come with two, but they're huge. I'm usually more of a spring roll person, but these were so good and something I'd definitely order again. I had the brisket pho, and my boyfriend got the beef and flank pho. Both were delicious, and the broth was flavorful and comforting. I'm pretty particular about Thai tea, but theirs is always really good. The restaurant is small and fills up quickly. The service is always good and the food comes out fast. If you're in the Aiea area and looking for a solid pho spot, Pho Time is worth a visit!

This place has terrible service. I ordered a chicken salad and sandwich with soup, to go. My order…read moretook well over 20 min; as I waited there, multiple notification tones rang throughout the restaurant, it's annoying. When I placed my order, I told the woman, "no cilantro" on anything. When I received my order, the soup was missing. When the woman brought the soup, I said again, "no cilantro." She said, yes. I paid and left. When I got home, I opened the salad and noticed a pile of basil and what appeared to be cilantro. It tasted like cilantro, too. So, I went back to the restaurant to return my order, as I no longer wanted any of it. When I got there, the woman told me that isn't cilantro, it's "culantro." She said she would refund my salad, but not the sandwich and proceeded to argue with me that she was doing me a favor because the salad did not have cilantro, even though she very well knows they taste the same. In any case, I left my entire order and was only refunded for the salad. I will dispute with my cc company. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
