    Pho and grilled pork summer rolls
    Linda T.

    Love the quick service and always reliable good food. I always recommend this place to my friends and anyone visiting!!

    Pho

    Fire spot for pho! Definitely go here to get your fix. Quick service and pho is a good portion. This is a medium and small if I recall. Lots of seating. Parking is street and paid lots (:

    I asked my coworker who's a Vietnamese chef, that when she's tired of cooking all day, but wants to eat good Vietnamese food, where would she go? And her answer was this place and it did not disappoint! Located where the old Rice Paper and Pho My Lan used to be in Chinatown. Dining tables and chairs that can be combined for bigger or smaller parties alike. Note that it may be a little tight in some aisle ways, when maneuvering through. The service here is quick and efficient. And even though they can get really busy at times, they're still cranking out the food and beverages in a timely manner. As for the food, it's definitely comforting and delicious. The different pho broths (chicken, beef, etc) are all just right, not too oily, not too salty. I didn't even have to add in any condiments to enhance the flavor. The Banh Xeo is a huge portion, that can be shared amongst a party of 2-4. Street parking is located right out front, there's also a parking structure out back, with an entrance into the establishment directly from the parking structure. I will definitely be coming back here for more!

    I haven't braved any yet, but you know this is a legit place if it has goat dishes on the menu. We've tried many different dishes and each one has been delicious! The ingredients are so fresh, especially the veggies. The rare beef salad and steamed duck salads were yummy. I've never had steamed duck before, and the meat was very tender and not as oily as the roasted style. Their pho is top notch, as well as the dry noodle fried with sauce meats served with broth on the side. The banh xeo (rice crepe) was immense, must have been about 1.5 ft in diameter! It was so huge it was served on a platter, along with lettuce and veggies. It was also nice and crispy on the edges, filled with the usual pork and bean sprouts. So far this place ranks in my top 2 Vietnamese restaurants that I've tried on Oahu. I'll definitely be back to try more of their dishes, of which there are a huge selection, and maybe even one with goat soon!

    We usually get the Pho or bun. It is excellent, mostly posting so I can add the menu.

    Dangerous Raw Beef Caused Severe Food Poisoning!!!! I'm a returning customer who has ordered takeout here 5 times before. I always order the same thing which is the combination, I brought my pho home in 5 minutes and ate right away, but the raw beef leached massive amounts of blood and turned the whole broth red. I took a sip but through sway the rest instead. That turned out to be a huge mistake. By last night, I developed a severe case of acute food poisoning with violent diarrhea, nausea, and intense body aches. I have been completely bedridden and only just started to recover today. To confirm, my friend had the chicken Pho from the same order and they are completely fine. Since the only difference was the raw beef and the lukewarm broth, there is no doubt that the contamination came from their beef. Food safety is a non-negotiable standard. Serving improperly stored meat is incredibly dangerous. I am extremely disappointed as a returning customer and will NEVER order from here again. Avoid the raw beef Pho at all costs!

    I think I messed up. I really wanted pho, but I didn't explore the menu pasted the first couple of pages. I wanted the spicy beef soup but I didn't care for what else was in it. So my dumb safe self ordered the won ton min. Asked if it could be spicy and the man said yes, but it came out regular. Ok, then my dumb self realized why one of my friends put siracha in his pho. And that's what I did and it was perfect! However, I should've looked through the menu more because the other customers coming in were ordering pho and I feel like I really missed out. Service was cordial but not overly friendly. I will have to come back and try the pho next time.

    Heavy congested self craving for comfort soup and the excellent YELP reviews brought me to Pho Que Huong. Once I entered their doors I was reminded I had already been once before, led by Terry K and in good company of a bunch of other yelpers..! Food is still consistent and of good quality. The combination pho the other day really hit the spot. Location is convenient when I am doing my shopping in Chinatown. Situated on Maunakea St, there are metered street parking spots as well as multiple lots surrounding the area. I even noticed a side door leading in from one of those municipal lots!

    Combination pho (large)
    Betty B.

    It's been raining so much all week wanted was a hot bowl of noodles. Cravings satisfied! My husband ordered the Bun Bo Hue and I got a large combination pho. The soup was flavorful and we loved all the extra veggies and condiments. The only feedback we had was the soup wasn't hot on the Bun Bo Hue, it was warm but my husband likes it HOT. Also the tendon and pork hock was a little tough to chew. Overall still a great experience and we enjoyed the authenticity.

    Solid Vietnamese restaurant one of my Go Tos to satisfy my Pho cravings. They have Med, Large and XL sizes! They have a pretty extensive menu so theres something for everyone. Service is efficient and they have a lot of seating so you rarely need to wait and they can accommodate larger parties. Parking is meter on the street and other public parking lots throughout Chinatown. Its usually busy for lunch and dinner convenient location on Maunakea street.

    I have been going to Lam's kitchen for a long time. We had planned to go there again, but then I heard they were remodeling. Phở Quê Hương was suggested since it was right next door. OK! I love Pho! Ordering was SUPER EASY - the lady came by, and I was seriously impressed that she did not write anything down. Look, we only ordered 2 pho and their chicken with fish sauce but still..... we both ordered combination pho with different choices. I ordered a large and my friend ordered the regular. The pho came really fast YAY!!!!!! The server mumbled something about brisket - which I ordered and I said YES and he passed me the bowl. I was ready to eat when my friend said, "hey, check your bowl because I ordered tripe". I looked and YEP a curly piece of tripe was staring me in the face. OK no problem. We traded bowls. We were both eating and enjoying our pho. BTW it came with lots of sprouts and basil, lemon, the usual. The pho was DELICIOUS! I was enjoying and enjoying and then.... what? Both bowls had tripe. Both bowls had various pieces of unknown meat. We couldn't tell which bowl was the large.... So, yes it was impressive that she didn't write anything down; that's because they put in anything they wanted to! What the ????? hahahahaha Was it good? YES. Was it worth the price? YES. Would be 5 stars but I need to dock one star because.... please, give us what we ordered not what you want to give us. BTW the chicken with fish sauce was really good!

    Super tasty food, we're introducing new people to this restaurant every other week lol! The newbie picked won tun??? And the soup was delish! Returnees tried the appetizers: the Lup cheong/egg roll, (envision a summer wrap with different ingredients), and I ordered the bbq chicken summer roll. Alas, they brought the grilled pork version instead of the chicken, and were apologetically going to take it back. (Being a nice guest, I said I'm sure it's good like everything else you serve, but if I don't like it, can I get my original order?). Of course I thought it was tasty, so of course I ate the whole thing;)! We all ordered dessert-one ordered the coconut jello jelly cup and the rest of us had to try the three bean dessert. All were refreshing, and the three bean is filling, so plan accordingly;). Not sure why they add the ice at the top, I think I would have enjoyed it more if it were topped with shaved ice instead of ice chunks. Designed to be mixed, the blend of ingredients makes a very picturesque cup (quite the beautiful floral landscape)! Love the service and food here so we'll be sure to return to try more dishes!

    Pho Que Huang never disappoints! My 2nd visit to this Chinatown treasure in downtown Honolulu. Best pho I ever had! You can choose the size of your bowl, medium all the way to XL! You can choose from chicken, to steak, brisket, tendons or if you're vegan, opt for Tofu and Vegetable pho which my friend got. They give you a generous portion of bean sprouts, lemon, jalapeño slices, Thai basil and use hoisin sauce and Thai chili or garlic oil to spice it up a bit! I always add black pepper too for the extra kick for my sinus. The crispy spring rolls is a must. Roll it in fresh lettuce, pickled carrot and daikon and mint and dip in the Thai chili sauce! I got Freshly squeezed orange juice and for dessert, I got my yummy coconut jello molded as a rose and my friends enjoyed the tapioca and flan! All the staff is family and you know it's good when you run into die hard local support! Never disappoints if you're looking for great pho on Oahu!

    Do you guys take reservations?

    They do for big groups. Just call ahead

    Yes we are open today!

    All I can say about eating at the - "Fun Station" is that it's more fun when eating with a friend,…read more& getting a 20% discount.........well, that's just an extra bonus! So the thing about coming to Fun Station is the "suspended flying noodle thingy" which I didn't go for, but if you like Instagramable stuffs, then I supposed you would probably go for that flying-noodle dish. As for me, I mainly came to try their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and as a bonus......... I actually got a 20% discount thanks to my friend - Jennifer C. who let a Bruddah know about da DEALAGES in da Sunday food section newspaper, as they had a coupon! The Sunday morning when I came with my friend, I can clearly see that this restaurant was thriving, as every table in the restaurant was taken. Fun Station specializes in noodles, but if you're not into that, they do serve other items like - soups, vegetable dishes, rice plates, & porridge (jook). Upon looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings ($9.95) for an appetizer 2. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles ($17.95 - minus da 20% coupon DEALAGES) 3. Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton in soup ($18.95) What can I say about da grub??? Da chicken wings came out hot & crispy. Although they featured only "flats" vs. drums (I like drums), I must say da wings was nicely executed. As for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles.........nicely plated on a fancy smanshy panda plate. The cake noodles weren't drowning in gravy, so the noodles stayed crispy on the dish. I really liked how they did this dish, and would easily come back here to eat it again. My friend had the Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton soup. The dish looked good, and there weren't any complaints, so I take it that it was pretty ono! Overall, a very satisfying meal and the service here was on point, as the staff was friendly & very efficient. Easy 5 stars for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles! Chance 'em!

Wife and I came around 2:00 for a late lunch. Usually places are much slower during this and it's a hit and miss for service and spread of food coming out. There was only one other table, two top, and that thought came to mind. However, we were promptly seated, given menus, and shortly after ice waters. We ordered shortly and our food came out fairly quickly, hot and fresh. All were very flavorful. We even ordered Ma Po Tofu as takeout for our daughter for dinner. That was also very good.

Not only that, but I have to bring my significant other along to share in the deliciousness! I don't know how I'm just now talking about Marugame Udon. When I first came here, my friend and I decided to give it a try because we saw the longest line and wanted to see what all the hype was about. There was a couple in front of us who said they come here every time they visit Hawaiʻi and that it's a must-do stop on every trip. When you walk in, it's a small place. You can watch a team member washing the noodles and portioning them into bowls right in front of you. Then you choose your bowl size, small or large, and select your broth. After that, you get to choose from a variety of fried items and other à la carte options displayed on a warmer. Seating can be limited because of how busy this place gets. You line up to get your food, pay for it, grab your condiments, utensils, and a cup of water, then find a seat and enjoy. I've already been here twice, and after writing about my experience, I need to make a third visit happen very soon! There are not enough days off in a week to enjoy all of the amazing food on this island, but I'm going to do my best to experience as many places as I can. This place is totally worth the 45-minute commute from Wahiawa.

Breakdown easily. not spicy at all though. next dish tried - was the pickle fish noodle - first time trying to dish anywhere. Surprisingly preferred this over the beef noodle. a little bit of sour, but just the right amount with the creamy broth mix. This with the chewy noodle was bomb.

I finally decided why not and came with a friend on new years day lunch time. They were pretty busy already after just 30ish minutes of opening (12pm). Service: We were seated immediately and the service method is pretty simple, you scan the QR code and order through there. My main gripe with this service method is the waitresses aren't as attentive, we couldn't really ask any questions prior to ordering and even after ordering, I had to stand up to the front and wave someone down to pay for our order (as they had a special they had to apply before we paid). We ordered: - Spicy Beef Pancake: 10/10, didn't expect to like this so much as well. Not that spicy to be honest. More like a light spicy flavor. The beef inside was also juicy. - Pan-fried pork bun: 10/10, I was honestly looking forward to this more than the XLB and I was correct to do so. The filling was juicy like a XLB but the dough was also fluffy, doughy, AND has a crispy bottom. Would come back just for this and recommend this 10 times over!! - Sui Mai: 8.8/10; this was like any other good sui mai you may get at different dimsum places. Just pork though, no mushroom or seafood chucks like some other spots. - Steamed Beef with Sticky Rice: 8.1/10. This wasn't bad by any means but just didn't compare to the rest of the items. I didn't like how some parts were super fatty. - Xiao Long Bao: 10/10, the wrapped is thin but thick enough for me to pick up the dumpling without it popping. The soup was flavorful and so was the pork within. They had a special going on which made our XLB be like $5 instead of the $14 it usually is. We were super surprised of how little our bill was give that we were stuffed at the end of the meal and had some leftovers. Even without the discount it would've been a great deal. I heavily recommend, especially the pan-fried pork bun and XLB!!

Seasons also offers the beef soupy noodle sets, but when it's 85+ degrees out and sunny and 80% humidity, I do question ppl's judgement. I've always loved the Plaza, empty and partly abandoned, bec/ the design is conducive to good airflow and cooling, a much underappreciated architectural element in modern downtowns. But the bums and indigent love it more and sadly always leave some je ne sais quoi. Seasons finds itself across from the dim sum behemoth in Chinatown, Legends, but that's a different flavor profile. Still, quite nice to have variety.

    About 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, there was already a line of people placing their order for fresh…read morepulled noodles. We were told that the first batch would be served about 11 a.m. so we quickly put our order in. The first thing that caught my attention, was the savory aroma of their 5-spice ground pork being cooked. You can add this as a topping to the noodle dish. The second thing that caught my attention, was the labor of love going in to each order of fresh pulled noodles. You can watch him stretch the dough ball and slap it on the counter before he boils each batch with careful preparation. The third thing that caught my attention, was their adorable mother, helping to slice the cucumbers and top each dish with crushed iso peanuts. Do not forget to order the side of pickled bittermelon....so good!! From beginning to end, this was an incredible experience of all my senses! To see and hear them at work and then to taste the delicious sesame sauce on the fresh pulled noodles....WOW! The soft noodles, the crisp bittermelon, and the savory sauce....super delish! Seriously, go early to place your order. The wait is totally worth it :) Will come back next time to try other menu items.

When we went, the menu focused on udon: +Hot Yamakake Udon with Quail Egg (a special) +Cold Yamakake Udon (a special) +Hot Udon +Cold Udon The special udon dishes are servied with tororo (grated mountain yam), housemade tsukudani (seaweed braised in a sweet Japanese sauce), crispy nori, green onions, and an option to add wasabi. We went for both the hot and cold udon specials - I think it was a consensus that we would have liked to have more noodles in the dish. This is definitely a sweeter dish, with the tororo and the tsukudani. The place already had a long line, and the best way to enjoy would be to dine-in. Note that if you do order a carry-out, the quail egg would not be included. +ordering online is available +changing menu of noodle dishes +popup at Fishcake

    What is Noods? I had to Google it. I can't keep up with urban words nowadays. So keep up with me…read morehere. Vibe is chill as young folks say these days. Young server quickly greeted us and let us sit anywhere. He asked if we've been here before and quickly ran down some specials. I love it when they ask "been here before?" I was set on Black garlic Tonkotsu. Served with thin ramen noods. I love thin noodles and they're not yellow. No need to dye the noodles. I like them as is. Rich broth and crunchy garlic. Their special is carmelized kimchee gyoza and Gochuchang, spicy ramen. Kimchee gyoza wasn't too spicy but spicy ramen is spicy as it should be. Best of all, music playlists were from 90s. Love it even more! My Era! Anyways, comfortable, cute, easy ramen joint in Kaimuki with excellent service. You can park in Kaimuki municipal parking lot.

The flavor of my creamy garlic shoyu ramen was fine. Nothing special, but good enough. However, it was cold (not room-temperature. Cold!) and there was very little of it. "Lazy tax" aside, I could've had a much tastier and more satisfying meal for way less if I had just added some veggies and (very) little meat to a pot of Sapporo noodles prepared at home. I understand times are hard, especially for small businesses, in this economy but pouring more broth would've made a big difference. Even if I had to po it in the microwave myself.

    Parking: small lot near building, street parking, parking in Walmart parking lot (at your own risk)…read more Service: table service. With QR code on table that you input your order into. Ambiance: casual Food: a great place to satisfy Szechuan cravings. Would recommend getting their spicy dumplings (so good). Also tried their sweet potato noodles and it was like a more chewy rice noodle. Would also recommend getting their mung bean drink (with free refills) that goes well with their spicy dishes.

    Sister restaurant of Mian and Bao, and Chengdu, Mian does not disappoint…read more Located at the 808 center on Sheridan Street, parking is valet, and bathrooms are located outside the establishment as it is shared with other businesses. Service was excellent. The nice lady checked in on us several times and provided extra napkins and refills. Ambiance: cozy. As with their sister restaurants, scan the qr code and order away. I really liked the variety and being able to order sides or small dishes. The mung bean soup is delicious and served chilled. They do give free refills. This was my first time trying it, and 10/10 would order again. Mini hot and sour wonton: first time trying and won't be my last. 10/10 Beef pancakes were good, slightly different from Mian and Bao, and delicious. Ice Jelly: good cooling dessert. Not too sweet. Perfect finisher for all the spicy food. Pickled sides: I really loved the spicy back fungus. I'm a huge sucker for woodear mushroom so I was also glad I could order a side of it just to toss into my soup! So good! Everything was really good, and I can't wait to try something new as we make our way through their menu.
