    Wafu Steak
    Ana C.

    We decided to eat at Saito & Pho II today. I had the oxtail pho. The broth was flavorful. However the oxtail was a bit tough so that was a disappointment. For the price of $20.00, not bad. My sister had the wafu steak which she enjoyed and my son had the miso butterfish. He loved it and ate it all. We also got the chicken wings for our starter. It comes with a sweet chili sauce which was very much needed. The chicken was fried perfectly though so that was a plus. A little salt and pepper would really help. I would suggest that they season the chicken. As for service, it was just okay. I feel that they could be a little more friendly to their customers. So overall, it wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either.

    Visiting Waianae for the weekend, stopped here for dinner on a Sunday night. Most restaurants in Waianae are closed on Sunday, so we found ourselves here. Service was fast and friendly. Food (Pho and Chicken Katsu) were okay. Place is clean and was actually really busy with a steady stream of ppl coming in, mainly for pick-up orders. A/C was struggling and it was warn enough that I felt sweaty. It's the only Pho restaurant between Nanakuli and Makaha, so it's either here or drive into Kapolei.

    Saito & Pho II is the closest restaurant to my home, and it's nothing short of amazing! I wish I had more pictures to share because the food is fantastic. My son absolutely loves the teriyaki chicken, while my wife and I specifically go there for the pho--it's delicious! The family atmosphere makes every visit special. Most of the time, we opt for takeout, but we also enjoy dining in occasionally. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough! Let's support our local businesses!

    My grandma suggested coming here and I'm so glad we did. I love a bahn mi! So much flavor!! Not dry at all. Highly recommend if you are in town and love a good sandwich.

    Sashimi (stringy and not cut well)

    So, this hidden gem tucked away in Waiʻanae which I've eaten at many times before was always good. Haven't been here in a year. My recent experience was just okay and not as I remembered. I ordered Tonkatsu and it's not like I remembered it. The meat had more tendon than meat. It was rubbery and hard. The sashimi (pictured) was stringy AND not cut well. As if the knife wasn't sharpened and all the pieces were still connected. No joke, I lifted the first piece and the rest lifted too. The pieces of romaine lettuce I received with my spring roll order was like the 3rd layer to the inside of the heart. I couldn't even wrap my spring roll, vermicelli noodle and half pickled veggies properly. Then the tempura was overcooked. I had to leave it in the cold tempura sauce to soften it to eat it. And to think I ordered everything, side order so I'd have more of it. I wish I didn't and stuck to a Teishoku/Combo. Couldn't saved some money. I ended up boxing half of it and taking it home. In fact it's still in the fridge. I arrived hungry and left hungry. McDonald's fries and a Coke for the win. And the place was empty... don't think I'll be back for sometime, if even. However, the girls in the front were friendly and kept was water cup filled.

    Exactly what we needed for a low key, non-resort lunch. Service was friendly and fast. The food is super fresh and tasty and mostly authentic. The place is very basic in decor, but it didn't matter for an easy lunch. Portions are big so bring your appetite!

    Brisket Pho Large and Fried Spring Roll. Review to follow.
    Andy L.

    First time coming here was a success. I walked in, got greeted, and seated in less than five minutes. I got the menu, looked at it, viola, I ordered their Brisket Pho Large and Fried Spring Roll. It took decent time but still fairly quicker compared to other Vietnamese restaurant I have been. Their large size is smaller than mainland large size, though it was still pretty large for myself. The flavor is there, I loved the pho which will be my go-to pho when I do decide to come back here. The fried spring rolls looked yummy, however, it tasted bland, even the fish sauce did not have the flavor I was looking for. The restaurant is pretty clean, decent, and organized inside, located in Waianae Mall near Tmobile and Bank of Hawaii. This place is recommendable. I will come back for sure, and will bring my family.

    Is there gluten or MSG in their pho?

    Yes the noodles are definitely have gluten and I also asked once If they use MSG and the owner told me "yes". It's pretty impossible not To use MSG because that's what helps… 

    Is this place BYOB?

    Yes
