Came here on a Thursday night about 1030PM. We were seated very quickly, but our waiter was very impatient and told us that they were closing soon in 5 MINS, but the sign on the door says close at 11PM. The way he spoke to us was So disrespectful and it sounded like we were an inconvenience and wanted everyone to rush and get out of the Resturant. *Parking - they got a private lot with about 8stalls I would say. As for their food, we ordered the Bbq Chicken sandwich and Bbq chicken vermicelli Noodles. It was aight, but we had better food at other PHO joints. Would I come back here again for eat, probably not unless it's a last resort option. read more

Super quick and super fast in and out service! Free spacious parking! Delish food Favorite items: 1) Spring rolls with pork- crispy, juicy and crunchy with savory tanginess 2) Sweet pork rolls- Super juicy, soft and even more delish with the crunchy pickled veggies and peanut sauce 3) Pho- Larger size portions good enough for 2 to share- Cant go wrong with rare beef 4) Bahn mi- Char sui- good but a hit or miss on the veggies and meat- sometimes it full and sometimes it lacking- the bread is always crunchy and soft! Lots of indoor seating and like i said super quick service- food rolls out in no time so the wait is never long even though it looks packed! read more

Pricy but good. Centrally located. Service is always on point. Yummy drinks , but like I said pricy.

The worth the price. It's expensive. We order the beef pho. The broth was good but the noodles were chewy. The spring rolls were good and made to order unlike other places that are premade. The Chao Tom was suspiciously really orange looking and bland. The vermicelli bowl was decent I got the beef and the egg rolls. The beef had a little spice to it. read more

Food always good. Favorites are pho w well done flank and banh mi. Had spring rolls today - fresh & tasty. For entree, had eggplant w chicken in black bean sauce: tasty but sauce little strong. Parking entrance from Kapiolani, exit via Makaloa. read more

Pho Saigon - combo - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We come here once in awhile and I don't think we'll come back for awhile since our visit a few weeks ago. They raised their prices by a lot! I don't think prices of ingredients went up that much to raise each main dish $3 more. That's insane! Vietnamese food shouldn't be this $$$ either! One good point is that I'm glad that their portion size for my pho didn't get smaller with that price hike. read more

One of my go to spots for pho! The interior is very clean and bright and service is always friendly! They have generous portions and everything is really tasty! My favorite thing is the spring rolls! Always hot and delicious! Can't go wrong with their Vietnamese coffee either. Pho Saigon is a little more expensive than your usual pho place, so that's the only reason for 4 stars. read more

It's been awhile ( pre-covid shut down) since I have been here but I always liked their food. And like I sometimes do when the food is good, I ate here two days in a row. Lol Since I can't try everything in one night... right?!? Anyway... so yesterday I had the beef stew with rice and the crab noodle soup and both dishes turned out perfect. The beef stew soup was perfect, not heavy or oily like you might find at other places and lots of goodies inside. And the spicy beef soup also came out just the way we like it, good portions and tasty. So then why you may ask... that I gave a three star review? It's because I wish they were more consistent in their cooking. Tonight we had the crab noodle soup and it tasted more like tomato soup then a crab soup. The beef stew was just okay, not a hit like yesterday. Their crape was a saving grace for them tonight. I still recommend this place. It's still a great place to have dinner. Btw... can some tell the manager or owner to smile or be less grouchy it shows through her mask. read more

My family and I were trying to figure out what to eat for dinner and since we were all exhausted... my uncle suggested soup... and everyone agreed. This place is packed! We got here during peak dinner times... The parking was a bit crazy... but we managed to snag a spot. We got seated in the corner... AC was blasting so just be aware if you've been on the beach the whole day... (yes I'm not a local!) The service was prompt... I ordered the rare beef and beef balls... it definitely satisfied the hunger. The prices were great as well. I can't complain! read more

During our visit to Hawaii, my family and I were missing Vietnamese food and came across this restaurant. We had a super long day and we were so hungry so we ordered a lot of food. We mostly ordered catfish dishes but they were so good and comforting! My family and I enjoyed every dish and the staff was super friendly and welcoming as well! My little brother told one of the staffs the food was so good and they gave us free oranges! How nice! We came back to this restaurant about 2 more times during our trip. If I ever visit Hawaii again, I'll definitely go back again! read more

The food is soso. Service is not very friendly. They automatically include tip in the bill without telling you.

Wow!!!!! This place was awesomely good. The food and the service. My friend and I needed to find a late night dinner place and came across this place that open till 11. At first we don't know what to expect as the menu is very extensive, but the server said this dish she recommended #12& 13. I like spicy so #12 was perfect. I defined want to beat read more

This is one of our go-to spots for pho. Tonight was one to remember. The server, Amy, was so attentive and aware of our situation with a two year old. She knew to bring him a small bowl for his serving of our noodles and soup. She even brought scissors so we could cut the noodles!! We have a pair specially for that reason, but she was on it! Thank you, Amy! read more

They approach you immediately. They are very friendly. Not intrusive, mind you. We had the chicken banh mi sandwich and the pho with steak and tendon. They have culantro! Basil, jalapeño, bean sprouts, fresh lemon. Oh yeah! Best pho broth in Honolulu. read more

Came here because my party was craving Pho. The food was delicious and had big portions, the restaurant was charming with the bar in the corner. My problem was the service, it was not busy the entire time we were there, with about 9 other people in the restaurant at 3pm on a Saturday, my party of 3 felt neglected by the staff, our first waiter was quick and attentive when we first arrived, however, he was switched out for another waiter. We could not find our original waiter when we were ready to order so we flagged one that was passing, we ordered and ate our food the we waited for about 30 minutes after eating and no one came to our table to take our plates or ask if we needed our check, we sat for a few more minutes before we flagged someone passing by for our check. We noticed that the staff was extremely focused on the tables in the middle, they were checking on them, refilling their water, etc. We did not get the same service as they did. Everyone deserve equal service, as such I'm rating this place a two stars. read more

I come here with my family about once a month or so and was always satisfied with our food. However, this review is based on a recent visit. We arrived at 8pm (we were aware the restaurant was closing at 9pm) and thought we had ample time to dine in. However, by 8:40pm, one of the waiters dropped off the check and within a minute came back to tell us to pay our bill. After we paid and I was still in the process of signing the bill, the waiter was standing right by our table waiting for me to give him the signed receipt back. Lastly, by 8:55pm my party and another group left as you could tell they wanted us out as other employees already left and the waiter was just standing by our tables waiting for us to leave as the other employees already had the chains out to lock the door and finished cleaning the rest of the restaurant. I understand that it's closing time but I feel like the way we were rushed out wasn't appropriate. Will I be coming back? Maybe but definitely not in the last hour of them closing. read more

I have to say from a health perspective, I was shocked. When we went to eat at this restaurant it was basically empty and they chose to sit us at the one table that had a leak from the ceiling. Our seats and the table were sprinkled with water and after a few seconds of sitting down we were getting sprayed and realized it was coming from the ceiling. They had a vase to help collect the water, so they were aware of the leak. The water was splashing across the whole booth and could easily get into your food. It just struck me as very unsanitary. We moved seats and shortly after they proceeded to sit another group at that table. This should have been the last table you would choose to sit someone. Fried calamari was good but the portion size was disappointing for the price. read more

One of my dr offices ordered food from here at a busy lunch hour, so stood in line for a bit and checking out to pay for the lunch order I asked if I could place an order for this evening. I was told by a very rude man that I had to do that this evening? Confused, I asked again, and he told me just come back this evening.....to that I answered I would go somewhere else then if it was too much of a bother to place an order for a couple hours from now and pay for it how and he said ok bye bye bye. I don't understand why they wouldn't take a large dinner order and accept payment while physically standing there. Customer service is definitely not their forte! read more

PROS: - the location has private parking - portions are huge to match the huge prices ($18 for bowl of BBh) - herb trays are plentiful - service is excellent and place is clean CONS: - broth for pho and bun bo hue are overly sweet. Unusually sweet. - prices are extremely high compared to nearby restaurants with similar portions - the overall taste is average and not flavorful. The sweetness kills all the taste. read more

During our 2 weeks in Honolulu this summer, we visited this restaurant twice. First time, we dined in. Upon walking with a party of five, we were immediately seated. The dining area was clean and they really did a good job of keeping the restroom fairly the same. We all ordered pho. Two were plain without meat or veggies for our youngest children, one was the rare beef, and two were the seafood pho. After ordering, our waiter David brought us our drinks and waters within 5 minutes. Our pho arrived about 10-15 minutes later. The dishes are prepared exactly like you requested and broth are hot. On our second trip, due to our schedule, we ordered to go. At the front door stand, the waiter will take your order and print your receipt. Once you hand them your card, he'll take it to the cashier near the kitchen. Apparently, only a select few are allowed to handle monetary transactions. On our dining experience, same was done as far as payments were concerned. Overall, it was one of the best Vietnamese restaurants we've visited in Honolulu. Great staff, clean establishment, and awesome food. Bottom line, I highly recommend it. read more

Pho was good and came out within five minutes of ordering. I like that you can do a single, double, or triple combo pho of your choice. I just wish they had more choices of ingredients. They don't have tripe :( The summer rolls are alright, I've had better elsewhere... but it still fills the expectations of a summer roll. I tried the bahn xeo here and it was okay. Too many sprouts inside. I'd come here for pho and pho only... bahn xeo at pho tri. I finally tried the vermicelli dish as well, I got the pork and spring roll dish ($15), and it was pretty big. I was really hungry and only ate half, the spring rolls are huge and there is a good amount of meat. The pork was different - I'd get it if you like char siu flavored meat, as this was char siu grilled pork. It was juicy and tasteful. I'd get this again, worth the price because of the amount that you get - it's two meals for me. read more

I haven't eaten at a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, and, to be honest, this place is the first one I've eaten at!! And it's great! Portions are large, the service is quick and friendly (especially if doing take out), and the restaurant is clean. The first time I ate here, I ordered the beef ball pho. I loved it. So warm and perfect on a cold night. My boyfriend ordered the rare beef pho, and I thought it was neat to see the beef get cooked right in the broth lol. After that night, COVID forced restaurants to only be open for takeout, and since we were trying to save money, my boyfriend suggested we split an order of rice vermicelli with grilled pork and spring rolls (his go-to order for takeout since it's easier to handle than pho). And now it's my new favorite dish here. The spring rolls are stuffed and crispy; the grilled pork is tender and flavorful, and the rice vermicelli mixed with the peanuts (?) and pork drippings is good. I also like the raw carrots, which has a vinegar taste that wakes up your senses, and the onions. It's a "healthy" yet indulgent plate of food. Since my first time eating here, I've only eaten at one other Vietnamese place but I'm a creature of habit and have only stuck to Pho Saigon. It's just that good. read more

We had finished shopping late and wanted to get some food to go. I ordered a chicken banh mi sandwich and it was probably the worse vietnamese sandwich I ever had. The chicken was shredded to the same texture of tuna and the entire sandwich was dry and lacked any taste. The pickled veggies were way too sweet. Other establishments put dressing or nuoc cham sauce which adds a lot of flavor. I had to add my own Sriracha mayo just to make it edible. read more

The family and I dined in for dinner to enjoy their beef noodle soup - Bún bò huê - one of our favorite items on their menu. We waited for quite some time before our food was served, which seemed odd because their turn around time is usually quick. Our first bite of noodles were hard and undercooked. We notified the waiter who apologized and stated "oh yeah I could see it." The waiter offered to redo the order, then came back to explain that we'd have to choose from two other types of noodles instead because the initial one would take longer than they expected. Finally, after the second attempt, the noodles were soft and tender - EXCEPT this time the beef was really tough, hard and rubbery making it extremely difficult and painful to chew, let alone enjoy. The sausage was hard and the broth's spiciness was unlike how I remembered it from the past. At this point we were dissatisfied and didn't even want to waste our time making another complaint since we had plans to follow thereafter. My bf who was already annoyed requested for the check immediately. We ate less than a third of the beef noodle soup in disappointment. The waiter noticed the amount of food left in our bowls and offered a take-out container. We politely declined and gave our honest opinion about the meat being hard to chew and the broth being too spicy. He apologized and explained that they just opened up from a 2 week COVID closure and ingredients were just made that day. He reassured us that he would inform the owners who were sitting at the bar and managing the registers. Unfortunately, there was no formal acknowledgement from the owners or even an apology for the 1) undercooked food 2) time spent waiting for the cooks to re-do our orders. Overall, 2 stars for the waiters and waitresses who were so apologetic and kind the whole time. 0 stars for the owners who lack empathy for patrons who choose to support their small business. read more

I've been craving good pho for months because I refuse to order takeout pho and had a hard time finding a pho restaurant that is open for dine in. My wife researched and found Pho Saigon on Yelp so we drove to town just to have pho. The staff was friendly, accommodating and efficient. They are always around so if you need something one of the staff seems to be always nearby. My wife ordered a summer roll with grilled chicken and no chives which she said was really delicious. The pho here's is really good. I always sip the broth first to see how good it is and my first taste was excellent. I had the rare beef and tendon pho for $16. This is the most I've ever spent for pho and they only serve one size so if you have a small appetite this might not be the place for you. I enjoyed the soup immensely, especially since they put big chunks of tendon in it. Lunch for two with no soft drinks came out to $25. Good chance that I will return. read more

We like the food here and service is good too. One pet peeve though is that when we order takeout we expect the entire order to be correct, especially since it's not worth the drive back to get a correction of an order . Tonight (May 1, 2023) or takeout order included the pork summer rolls which I asked if it comes with the peanut sauce (as opposed to the fish sauce) because summer rolls are so much better with the peanut sauce! When picking up our order I specifically asked if the pork summer rolls come with the peanut sauce and the lady at the front that brought our food and took our payment said that their summer rolls come with the peanut sauce. Well, when we got home there was only the fish sauce and no peanut sauce in the summer roll box. We were very disappointed because summer rolls do not taste as good without the peanut sauce . I'm not sure about anybody else, but I'm always very disappointed when we discover a takeout order is wrong after we arrive home.... read more

My wife and I really enjoyed their food there. I had a pho dac biet and my wife had the rice dish with grilled pork and shrimp. And we also placed an order for a banh mi cha. Banh mi is average here. The staff was very friendly and on point with service. I spoke to a staff member briefly about the Vietnamese community in Hawaii since I was curious what's it like to live there--since coming from the mainland. One of the servers actually did relocate to Hawaii from the mainland. Just a tip. Parking is easy. Prices here are fairly pricey --especially comparing to mainland prices but I'm sure it reflects to the importing prices to Hawaii. I rate this restaurant a solid 4 star and will return there when we are back in town. Cheers. read more

**PSA- CHECK YOUR RECEIPT! ** The food is decent but way overpriced. I get the vermicelli w/ grilled pork patties- thing is ono but not worth $24. I came just last week and it was $22 but now it got boosted to $24. BUT- the real reason I'm writing this review is to warn you all to CHECK YOUR RECEIPT WHEN ORDERING TAKE OUT (maybe even check it when you ask for a to-go box while dining in). They're charging $0.70 for a plastic bag that you get for free at grocery stores when packaging vegetables/ fruits. Bruh, sneaky asf. I always see it after I get home too 70 cents, guys. Seems manini but think about it, they're almost charging an extra dollar every time you order take out (without asking if you'd like a bag or not) they just include that hidden fee. Aren't businesses supposed to ASK if we want a bag first, instead of just throwing it in one and charging us? Idk what the bag policy is pertaining to food establishments but majority of restaurants I order take out from have never charged bag fees. I haven't even gotten charged for a decent brown paper bag with HANDLES at small cafe's but Pho Saigon is sneaking in 70 cents for a thin, plastic, vegetable/ fruit bag. I'm triggered read more

Pho all day everyday! I'm always down for that! Needed to rehydrate after a night of drinking wine. What better way to get your liquids in than slurping on a hot bowl of Pho! Hangover or not, I crave for this all the time. It's our first time at this spot and we noticed that the prices are a bit higher than our usual pho - maybe because it's by the mall? Not sure. The pho is just one size and it came out piping hot. I always get my steak rare on the side. It was honestly okay! Loved the summer rolls though. The peanut sauce always gets me every time. Maybe I'll try their other menu items next time! And maybe the Thai Tea too read more

Ladies and Gentlemen, this place by far is my new favorite spot when craving Pho, which is at least twice a week. The parking is convenient and the location is genius. The minute you walk in you are greeted and with there 1000 workers anyone can assist you. The menu is vast and has all your favorites. The food arrives surprisingly fast in this very clean restaurant and the employees are very attentive to water and such. We have made a few friends with the staff since going there so often and the experience is always top notch. My favorites are the tofu veggie bahmi and the tofu vegetable pho large with a side of (nook bale) it's liquid fat that makes the pho so ono. It's an insider thing and not on the menu. Try it, you'll not regret it. Just don't over die it, not good for the health. read more
