    The last time I was in Wahiawa I noticed that a new Vietnamese restaurant opened and decided to try it. To my surprise the pork hot pot they made was very good, but on the sweeter side and the owner asked if something was wrong with the food? I mentioned that I was comparing the flavor of the original Vietnamese when they came to Hawaii the sauce tasted familiar, but this was a little sweeter. He mentioned that they made this to Hawaii customers taste and yes I can see that and it is very good, but I prefer the original flavor of how it was cooked from Vietnam, and he mentioned next time you come I make that style how we eat! Which I did and it was very good and delicious and reminded me when the Vietnamese came to Hawaii and open up restaurants and shops in Chinatown. My wife loves their Tendon Pho with thick and lots of slices and the broth is flavorful which you know it has been cooking for a while to get that flavor. My brother in law had the tripe and tendon and he enjoyed his Pho.

    Easy to find! Look for the skinny pink building driving into Wahiawa. Friendly service, water and utensils brought right away. Three types of hot sauce! Of course big bottle of sriracha and two other smaller specialties (chili oil mix and garlic chili sauce) inside is clean and new. Air conditioning is just right and there is 2 ceiling fans in the middle to circulate. No noodle sweats! Fits about 48-50 comfortably. Nice padded wood chairs, clean interior, I chose the medium combo beef pho, it was amazing and I love the broth! Tons of tripe, my fave. Included tendon, brisket, meatball, and round steak. So good I ate it all! Hubby got the brisket and round steak only, he don't eat innards. Haha missing out. We also shared a chicken sandwich which pairs great with the soup, dip it in!!! Almost forgot to try the iced tea so had to order one, ooh yummy. Nice and strong with lots of condensed milk. Perfect late lunch for us and no crazy crowds. Get here 1pm ish, come eat! You won't regret it!

    Hands down best tasting broth on the island. We will have to drive to Wahiawa instead of Mauka or Aiea from now on. I ordered the combination which had all cuts of 5 ingredients. Hubs just wanted the two choice pho with brisket and beef ball. He finished it all. The Vietnamese iced coffee was tiny but very rich and satisfying. First sip brought an eye opening smile. Service is fast and friendly. As many people dining in as ordering take out. Parking is on the left of a narrow-ish driveway just like parking by Shige's row. If you enjoy pho give this new restaurant a try. Meet the owner and his daughter Sam of Sam Pho. Please give your support to Asian American and Pacific Island Heritage businesses like this one. Congratulations on your new business in the Wahiawa Community. Every wish for your success.

    New pho alert in Wahiawa!!!This is the 4th pho place here in Wahiawa && i must say it did not disappoint..my new favorite place to go!Of course i had to come & try it out,they just opened up like few weeks ago & they're located by the Kam Plaza where Fukuya Ramen use to be,their hours is from 9am-9pm. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue & the Lemon Grass chicken. They had so many food options to choose from as well as their drinks & also had desserts. I can't wait to go back again!!

    I'm a huge foodie and love trying new places, so it's nice to finally have a good spot in Wahiawa without having to drive so far. The restaurant was very clean, the food tasted amazing, and as a server myself, I really appreciated the hospitality and service. Everything was great from start to finish. We also ordered the pho, but it was so good we demolished it before even thinking about taking a picture. Definitely 5/5 stars. I really hope more people discover and support this place!!

    Tried the new pho spot in Wahiawa and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Crab Meat Noodle Soup and the broth was so flavorful and comforting. We also got the grilled pork rolls super delicious and packed with flavor. My daughter loved the strawberry smoothie and finished the whole thing. Friendly service and great food overall. Definitely coming back!

    Fried banana with vanilla ice cream
    H S.

    Was looking for a new Vietnamese restaurant because the ones by where we live aren't that great. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious!!!! Bun bo hue, brisket pho, bbq chicken, spring rolls, flan, and the fried banana with ice cream. The restaurant itself is clean and the owner is super nice. The service was also great. I wanted to try the taro tapioca but they were sold out...so I'm gonna assume it's good and hopefully they'll have it next time we come back. I am so glad we found this place. I don't usually leave Yelp reviews...unless my experience was really good or really bad. THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME!!!! Forgot to take pics of the food before we ate it all lol

You're welcome to select hot or iced pending on beverage choice. Options are dairy milk powder or choice of all organic milk from almond, coconut, oat, or soy with preferred level of sweetness. All other toppings, boba, jellies, ice cream are additional charge. Dine in amongst floating tables and stools or to go. One listened and engaged in conversations of Q&A. Other prepared and made the beverage. I loved how the two employees worked cohesively as a team and demonstrated social graces. Loved every sip of Wahiawā Sakura Iced Milk Tea with Jasmine tea, walls of cup drizzled with sweetened condensed milk, dairy powder milk, and 25% sweetness! Tasted best consumed unstirred. Let the sweetened condensed milk do their work and magic. Perfect picker upper before workout. This location also sells guava cake with triple layer pink, yellow and green. I didn't see or inquire about price for that item. There's also assorted macarons sold for one piece at $2.99. Will definitely return for Hokkaido Hot and Iced Milk Tea, White Rabbit Frappe. Dubai Chocolate Frappe also sounds amazing! Second visit: I returned the following day due to humidity in afternoon. Two different employees, female and male were very attentive and provided great suggestions to my Q & A regarding White Rabbit Frappe and Hokkaido Milk Iced Tea. I chose Hokkaido with 100% Organic Coocnut Milk Iced Tea. Female employee asked me how much sweetness I wanted in my beverage. I responded, "25%" She informed me that the lowest sweetness they're able to give is 50%. I said, "Ok." Tasted perfect with a light sweetness. Beverage came in handy prior to workout. I can count on superb customer service, free parking, easy commute access, and photo op.

Always say Hi to the koi fish in the tank!

    The perfect place for indecisive eaters!…read more I've come here 2x in the past month with my daughter and this truly is the best place for picky or indecisive eaters. The first time I got the ramen, gyoza & fried rice combo for only ~$15! What a deal! 5 pieces of gyoza, a mound of fried rice, & a mini shoyu ramen. My daughter loved the ramen, I enjoyed the gyoza and fried rice. We even had left overs to take home! They also have the CUTEST Hello Kitty bowls, cups, and spoons for kids. My daughter loved eating out of them. The 2nd time I got the curry katsu, gyoza, & ramen combo ($16.50). My daughter couldn't decide between ramen or curry so this combo was perfect! She ate some of both! Again, we had leftovers to take home. Service was quick! They also have a small bakery case at the front of the store with fresh breads and pastries. Overall, perfect place to take whole family (and or your pickiest eaters).
