    Pho bistro is located across from the cost-u-less on Kino'ole st. My friend and I ordered a couple beef pho's and some appetizers. I tried to order a small beef pho from the menu but our server let us know that there is only one size. The menus are really nice. All the silverware and napkins are on the table already for your convenience. The place is itself is nice. It seems clean and the AC was on which was nice. Service was ok. Nothing really good or bad to say about it. We both thought that the food lacked flavor though. That was disappointing. 1 meat stick is $9. I don't think I would go back considering all the other great places to eat pho in Hilo.

    Combination pho

    We've tried a lot of vietnamese restaurants in Hilo and by far this was the most authentic. We ordered the combination pho, bahn cuon and beef stew pho. Food was delicious and flavorful. They also serve local food. Service was great. The establishment was clean and spacious, and they have A.C.!!

    Beef stew with noodles

    Stopped by for lunch and it was fairly empty. You can sit anywhere and I picked an old school type of booth. Ordered the beef stew with noodles. The portion was weak with minimal noodles and small amounts of bean sprouts and jalapenos. The stew was bland and watery but the beef was tender. The bread was the highlight as it was soft and toasty. I was still hungry after the meal and probably won't be back soon.

    Would not recommend. Ordered the bunh cuon which had little to no filling.

    I've missed my Mom's home made banh cuon, so I decided to try their banh cuon. The banh cuon had little to no filling in the rice noodle. The rice noodle tasted like very wet rice paper wrapper. Would not recommend.

    Rice Plate

    Delicious! And Authentic! The beef was flavored with lemongrass and the fish sauce is amazing! All the herbs are super fresh as if just picked.

    I celebrated my birthday at Paul's Place, and it was an experience I'll never forget…read more When I reached out for a reservation, they followed up and were able to fit me in for my birthday. That alone meant so much. From the moment I arrived, Paul made me feel special. He greeted me with a warm smile, seated me at a beautifully decorated birthday table, and surprised me with a birthday sash and crown. It was such a thoughtful gesture that truly touched my heart and made me feel celebrated on my special day. I enjoyed fresh-squeezed orange juice and the Belgian waffle with bacon. The waffle was absolutely delicious--beautifully presented with fresh fruit and whipped cream, and honestly the best waffle I've ever had. A huge mahalo to Paul and his team for making my birthday so memorable. The food was outstanding, but it was the kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality that made this experience unforgettable. 12/10 Highly recommend!

    Paul's was one of my favorite dining experiences I've ever had. Yelp only allows for five stars, I…read morewould give more if I could. If you are able to visit Hilo, make a reservation. And you need a reservation. The tiny restaurant only has three two person tables (the other party of four had two pushed together). And it is only open Wednesday thru Saturday, 7:30am- 2pm. I made the reservation for my friend's Birthday lunch by text. It is conveniently located by the farmers market, and there is plenty of free parking in the area. The space is airy, and on our visit, decorated for Easter. We were immediately greeted by Paul. The restaurant is staffed by him, and one other employee. The menu is short, and all the better for it. Paul explained the menu and gave us recommendations. I was already interested in the Pasta de Marco, which appears to be a part of a regular menu. Angel hair pasta, lightly fried, tossed with fresh veggies and pesto, and lightly toasted baguette on the side. We also had the tuna, two ways, and papaya salad. Both were perfect, incredibly fresh, all ingredients balanced, beautifully presented. Paul had us end with the Belgium waffle. I've had waffles in Belgium, and these were the best I've had. Crispy, soft, with berries, whip cream, and powdered sugar, it didn't even need the (warm!) syrup. This experience felt like being a guest in the chef's home. Paul treated all customers as a friend, he was funny, relaxed, and personable. I also personally appreciated it is the safest restaurant for me to eat at as he hates bell peppers as much as I do! The only disappointment when the meal ended. Mahalo!
