Pho Kauai has definitely stepped up their game! I've been here several times, and the last few visits have been especially good. The food and service have both noticeably improved. The broth is light, clean, flavorful, and not overly fatty, which I really appreciate. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. The service has also gotten so much better. They're always accommodating, friendly, and I never feel rushed--even when I come in closer to closing time. And considering how expensive everything has gotten on Kauai, I still think you get a really good meal for the price. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving pho! read more

It's a quick and no-frills place. We just wanted pho in the morning before an excursion. Pho came out really quickly. It tasted decent. The portion was a bit smaller than usual. Bathroom is located outside the restaurant. read more

Pho Kauai - Brisket pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Cleanliness, ambience, temperature and the staff is definitely satisfying. We came here yesterday despite the rating. Upon entering, noticed the cleanliness and the temperature of the place. What left an impression, was when I had to go to the restroom, the staff hand me the key and told me where it was. He said it might be too hard to open the door. Then he decided to proceed to walk me all the way at the back and open the door for me. What a kind gentlemen. Didn't get his name, but he's a tall skinny guy with hair. We came back again today, he wasn't there, they were packed but they still were very kind. Good food too read more

Pho Kauai - Vietnamese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

My mother and I visited Phở Kauaʻi in Līhuʻe, Kauaʻi, Hawaii [4303 Rice St] on Tuesday, 01/20/26, around 10 AM. We tried the following items: * Phở - Brisket & Beef Meatballs Vietnamese Noodle Soup * Shrimp Summer Roll w/ Peanut Sauce * Shrimp Tempura * Rice Plate - Grilled Pork Chop The phở was truly flavorful and comforting. I loved the rich broth paired with the delectable brisket and beef meatballs. Sriracha sauce, basil leaves, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and lime perfectly complemented it. The shrimp summer roll was tasty and paired well with the house-made peanut sauce and sriracha. The shrimp tempura was fried to perfection, with a coating that was absolutely dynamite in every bite. Lastly, the grilled pork chop was juicy and well-seasoned. The interior of the restaurant had plenty of tables and chairs available for customers. I also appreciated the white-and-gold plating used for the dishes, which added a beautifully nice touch. The customer service was wonderfully attentive, and the food was fairly priced. Phở Kauaʻi was one of my favorite restaurants to visit while exploring Līhuʻe. Everything, from the food to the service, was beyond incredible. I highly recommend stopping by. read more

Pho Kauai - #37: Vermicelli with shrimp and egg roll, and also #9: Grilled Kauai Shrimp on skewers - Vietnamese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Great spot!! We stopped before heading to the airport and got veggie pho with beef broth and it came out so fast, portion was generous, and super flavorful. Super pleasant experience and left us feeling great before heading out of the island. read more

We were lucky to get seated fairly quickly (when we left there was a line outside) since the seating inside is average but not an overly large space. Food was solid and decent, exactly what we were hoping for since we were under the weather and wanted some warm soup. Pho was good and had nice flavor. Grilled port vermicelli was good as well, but lettuce was a little old and wilted. Ambiance is very low-key casual. Restrooms are shared by the building and you need to go outside down a corridor, which was a bit intimidating (aka scary) at night when it was dark, but the restrooms were actually quite nice and clean. read more

Pho Kauai - Vietnamese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Came here with my family after flying into Lihue. We walked in and were seated within a few minutes. We ordered three beef broth phos, a fried rice with garlic shrimp, and a fried rice with chicken. We also got two orders of the shrimp rolls. The food came out extremely fast which was great because we were hungry. The fried rice comes without the meat mixed in so just note that the shrimp and chicken comes on the side instead of being cooked in. My family really enjoyed their pho. Overall a good experience, nothing extraordinary but quite good after a long flight. read more

Friends and I came here for dinner and it was subpar. I think the restaurant is owned by Chinese people because when my friend spoke Vietnamese to our server if they have a type of noodle she wanted, she did not understand my friend. That being said, the food was not as flavorful as other Vietnamese places I've tried. I tried a little of my friend's pho and the soup tasted a bit bland but at the same time, had a strong star anise flavor. My other friend got the vermicelli bowl with spring rolls and shrimp and said her noodles were overcooked. As for my grilled pork chop, it was so overcooked that I had trouble cutting through it and it got stuck in my teeth. We are just visiting Kaua'i but even if we lived here, I don't think we would be back. read more

Excellent work serving when busy ! Very nice setting for tables! Food was good and the service was great

Vietnamese food has this comfort level to it that only really good pho can hit. This place, good pho. Especially when you don't have the time or energy to do it yourself. Rainy day- pho Hot day- vermicelli bowl Just munching- Fried egg rolls + Vietnamese iced coffee Staff is cool. The restaurant itself is clean, well lit, and the seating -though crowded- works. Language barrier is there, but the service travels beyond language, and the entire menu is just yum. read more

First time visitor here. Ordered takeout- Pork Chop plate, Brisket Pho, & Vermicilli w/ BBQ chicken. The pork chops were tasty but kinda dry and tough. The Brisket Pho soup was average. Disappointed that they did not pack hoi sin and hot sauce. The Vermicilli was average. The sauce for both the Vermicilli and pork chops was very light, could have been more robust. read more

This was a highly recommended restaurant by friends that come frequently to Kauai. We had a couple of Grilled Pork and Shrimp with fried eggroll Vermicelli bowls. It was a generous portion of the proteins and the bed of cucumber, bean sprouts and lettuce This made the dish healthier and nicely balanced with the amount of vermicelli noodles. The restaurant was clean and the staff was courteous. Definitely recommending this place to you all and returning ourselves for another great deal. read more

This restaurant used to have Vietnamese owner but no longer the case. We've been going here every time we visit Kauai. Food was really bad and the bean sprouts were brown. I don't know anyone would serve their customers with rotten food. Definitely not going back here anymore read more

This place gets 1 star because it smelt really fragrant when walking in, so I had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately, after ordering and getting my food, it was a big disappointment. The service was fine when we got in and they took our order, however, we weren't checked in on at all after that. They came out with our food which took about 10 minutes, and they tell us they don't have any basil. The bean sprouts in the soup were close to being dead and the soup was not flavorful at all. They also put cabbage in my dad's soup. If you're looking for a good bowl of pho, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

We both ordered the Pho, ordering a service was efficient and the broth was great, portion size was fine for us but I would imagine on the smaller side for some. My one point deduction is for the vegetables weren't all that fresh especially the sprouts looked tired. read more

This place is always a must stop for delicious phó and summer rolls! Kindest staff and quick service!

Change of ownership from Vietnamese to Chinese, which is not an issue except for the fact that the food taste has declined. I ordered the Pho and noticed right away it was not like the times I went before. Too bad because they use to have a decent bowl. Not recommended. read more

Our whole family loved our meal here. From the outside, the shopping center is nothing fancy - but once inside, you're in a special place. The service is caring and efficient. Owner knows his stuff! Our dishes were fresh and delicious. The mural on the wall adds a really nice touch to the decor. We loved everything from fresh summer rolls to pho bowls to veggie & tofu stir fry. We will definitely be back next time we're on Kauai! read more
