    Beef pho
    Marissa K.

    I had such a satisfying bowl of beef pho here The broth was rich, aromatic, and tasted like it had been simmering for hours--super comforting without being too heavy. The beef was tender and fresh, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I also loved all the fresh herbs and sides that came with it--really let you customize each bite. You can tell they care about quality and flavor. If you're craving something warm, flavorful, and just overall yummy, this spot definitely hits. I'll be back for sure!

    Bahn mi special! Very disappointed it's not like how it use to be

    The bahn mi special is my usual go to! But idk raising the price and giving less than what it use to be and how it's made now the price isn't matching what the sandwich use to be! I'm very disappointed on how they jack the price up but skimp, and give way less than before! If you going raise the price keep the quality of the food the same!

    Shrimp patty in crisp soy wrapper
    Jolene L.

    We've been eating here for quite some time now and it has been consistently good. We've had everything from pho to bun bo hue, and almost every vermicelli dish they serve. But our all time favorite is their shrimp patty in crisp soy wrapper. The shrimp patty has great flavor. The soy wrapper is fried just right for a perfect golden crisp. This is served over vermicelli noodles which is always fresh, never dried out. This dish comes with pickled and julienned carrots, radish, and cucumber. They also drizzle on the green onion oil. In a separate dish, you can use a little fish sauce and chili to take it to its peak flavor. Consistently, they have clean tables and chairs, fast and friendly service, and the food is always on point. Thank you for the ample free parking too! Bonus that we don't have to drive to Chinatown LOL

    This is your get yelled at by an auntie good old school pho joint. The pho is good, bun rieu is good. Flavors are full of spice depth. Also some great spice sauce options on the table. Good quantities provided on the noodle soups as well. Located right next to ala moana and wash parking lot.

    Pho Saigon has a good location if you're craving pho after shopping at ala moana. The restaurant is clean and spacious. The staff is really nice too. The cost for pho is pricier than other places, but the broth is great so I recommend to check it out. I love that they ask if I want the raw meat on the side or in the broth. I prefer it on the side as that's how I grew up ordering pho. Most places will automatically put it in the broth unless I request it. Let's talk parking. I've only gone early dinner time between 5p - 6p so I'm not sure how crowded the parking can get especially since there's another restaurant there as well. The parking lot is accessible from the front side along Kapiolani Blvd. You can enter from the back side, but you're forced to turn left by CPB and go around towards Kapiolani Blvd.

    Pho "Lost in Saigon" bowl.

    Delicious Pho and more! The service is quick and attentive. I ordered a "Lost in Saigon" bowl for dinner and it was prepared quickly. The 5 meats in my Pho were delicious, especially the rib which was tender and flavorful. This restaurant is open, spacious and easy to walk to from many areas around the Ala Moana mall.

    We found this pho place off the strip and it's pretty expensive. Found this not too far from our hotel. It's not walking distance but there's plenty of parking. It's kind of pricey for pho and I thought the portions and quality could be better. The well done brisket for me was tough, also too thick. The spring aka summer rolls were very good. He had the ribeye pho but it barely had any ribeye, maybe 3 pieces of meat.

    Dinner! Sunday September 1, 2024

    Tuesday July 29, 2025. We decided to come here for lunch. We came here around 11:45am and had parking during a lunch time. It was meant to be that we came here. Service was friendly and fast from a tall, big, friendly guy that we never seen before. New worker? We ordered and the food came out shortly after. Pho is always good from here. Ambiance is casual and comfortable here. We will be back again.

    Combination pho
    Chris T.

    Quick review for this place. The girlfriend and I went here for a quick, casual dinner for my birthday. I know this place has been here for awhile, but it was our first time here. We arrived early and got our seat and water. The place is pretty spacious and pretty clean. The wait staff were very friendly as we asked about some of the menu items. We decided to go with the beef combo pho, which was flavorful and came with a lot of brisket and ribeye. We also tried their Saigon noodles. This dish was different, but was a good recommendation. It's an egg noodle dish in a sauce, with seafood. Overall, our experience here was nice. It did seem slightly more in price than some of the other Vietnamese/pho places in the area, but overall, we enjoyed our dining experience.

    Gorgeous bountiful plate of garnishes that they took away AFTER we had eaten some of it
    Wanna L.

    An odd experience, but the food is good. Weekday lunch after 2:00, not too busy. Two servers and one table support. We ordered: Char Siu bahn mi (good), chicken wings (good and interesting seasoning), cup of broth (good). And we ordered the "Lost in Saigon" $33 huge bowl of beef pho with tendon, beef balls, ribeye and a big-ass beef rib. Super amazing and delicious. Usually when you order pho you get a plate of garnishes. Basil, lemon or lime, sprouts etc. The table-support guy set down the most beautiful plate of herbs and produce I'd ever seen in any Vietnamese restaurant. Cucumber slices, carrots, basil, pickled daikon and carrots, mint and another green. Also, a small dish of bac nam was set down. When my sandwich arrived, I dipped it into the bac nam like always. So good. My dining partner ate a cucumber slice from the garnishes. The wings arrived and the server said something as he took the plate of garnishes away. Then the other server reached for the dish of bac nam and started taking it. I said I was already using the sauce, please let it go. He hesitated and set it down. I couldn't use the sauce after he put his fingers all around the edge like a claw. Then the other server brought out a small plate of garnishes that had sad basil and sprouts. What's wrong with these actions you may be asking yourself? Once set food is set down on a table and left, it's dead to any other table. If they re-used that plate at another table (and you know they did), that is hella unsanitary. Even if that plate was the wrong one, we have a $33 bowl of soup coming. Just inform us that we benefited from a mistake so next time we know what we will actually receive.

    Food and service is always good here. The people are very friendly. Service with a smile. Great place to come for a first Bday meal.

    Bun Bo hue
    Nini M.

    Not too far from the strip! You can tell the owners love what they do. We tried the bun rieu, bun bo hue, banh mi, chicken wings & egg rolls. First, egg rolls were freshly made and very good! Taste just like my moms!! The bun bo hue was really good, wish it had more of the bbh stuff like pork knuckle/feet or pork blood. But the flavor was really good. The bun rieu was so good! Wasn't too fishy. The chicken wings was so flavorful & they give you a grip. It's more on the pricey side but I've tried a lot of pho places and honestly, this was probably the best one yet.

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.

    Tucked away hole in the wall spot the food is the best Vietnamese food I've ever had!!!read more

    I'd love to say that Thuong An Lac is very true to its name of everlasting happiness and love…read more Everything is made with love and intention and I left feeling very good afterwards. 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. Fun fact, they're TOP 100 vegan restaurants in the US. You're in for a treat. Please note: they only take cash tips! Consider this if you go :)

    Been wanting to try Vietnamese food that wasn't Pho or Bahn Mi…read more Got the beef salad and for someone who doesn't eat rabbit food, I gotta admit it was good. The dressing was really good. You already know the beef was good or it wouldn't get a good review from me. Got the spring rolls which was nice and hot. Wrapped the spring roll, noodles and the carrot & daikon with the lettuce and dipped it into the sauce. Winnahs. For the main entrees got the crispy fried noodles with seafood. It's like the Vietnamese version of Chinese seafood with cake noodles. Very crunchy and tasty. Lots of seafood. The other entree was the combo sizling plate. Yes, the plate was sizling. The plate had pate, sausage, meatball, beef and a fried egg. I've never tasted anything like that before. It's not the usual taste that you're accustomed to but i enjoyed it. I thought it was good. 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
