    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!

    While in Wahiawa noticed a new Pho restaurant that opened where Fukuya Ramen was and decided to stop in. Just opened 3 weeks ago and family run and managed. Service was good and staff were friendly and helpful. I always have trouble finding a good simmered pork like they served when the Vietnamese came to Hawaii! Restaurant I found which was good changed ownership or cooks and the food is not the same! So I'm always on the lookout for new Vietnamese restaurants that service the simmered spicy pork dish in a clay pot. The owner & cook said they adjusted the taste to Hawaii, but if I like the spicy and peppery flavor of old just let them know! The simmered pork was flavorful and little on the sweeter side which is very good, just I like it more spicy and peppery with a little more fish sauce. But overall it is the best I had in a while. My wife had her normal pho with only tendon which this time lived the flavor and the nice pieces of tendon, she said this was the best pho she had in a while and I tasted the soup and it was which you know takes hours making the soup stock to get that flavor. Looking forward to trying more items and also getting the spicy simmering pork pot the old style way Restroom are clean just one for men & women. They have a parking lot which will be shared with other tenants as they move in. Well worth the drive!

    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!!

    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

I always get the combination pho which includes six different types of meat in it. This time we also shared some shrimp summer rolls and spring rolls which were great appetizers!

The noise level inside is moderate so it's good for conversation.

We arrived around t and it wasn't to busy, we were able to sit right away and our party of 5 was no problem. There was only one young lady taking orders and working the register so it took her a min to come over. We got some drinks going and after they were delivered she took our order. The food came out in a timely manner and everything was very good. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. The spring rolls were crispy and tasty, my wontons were good and the broth and noodles hit the spot. The only issue I had was when paying the bill, this is a pet peeve of mine and doesn't reflect the food. I find it very disrespectful to charge your patrons a service charge to take credit cards, and 4 percent on top of it. If you're up in wahiawa stop by and enjoy the food but maybe bring cash.

    Took my cousin and family out to dinner here. We went early around 5pm on a Sunday and were seated…read moreright away. The service was good, fast and friendly. The place isn't huge but spaced out well. We ordered appetizers and everything from pad Thai to pho. The Thai food was good, my husband didn't like the pho though. Everything came out fresh and hot. My only complaint is the cost. Why are appetizers $20? Come on! We spent $300 on Thai food. I'm still adjusting to the cost of food here in Hawaii. It's insane! Anyway, again the food was good but I can't justify spending that much on Thai food. Lots of other options in other areas.

Although the website has a rez button, they don't take them, so we chanced it and went at 6:00 pm, the day after Thanksgiving, for hubby's birthday. It's not a very large venue but enough space between tables and also accommodates larger parties. We loved the friendly welcome and she immediately sat us at a table. Server was a sweet girl who brought us waters and they allow BYOB so we brought our own wine and plastic glasses. Started off with the summer rolls and vegetarian spring rolls. Both were prepared to our liking and the sauces were excellent! Food came out all at the same time which was nice! Sticky rice in a cute little woven basket with the curry was yummy and hot. Hubby loved the Pad Thai and I enjoyed my Pineapple Rice with tofu. You can also request chicken, meat or pork with it. Place was reasonably busy and prices were very friendly. We enjoyed good service- refilling our waters, checking back if we needed anything else, asking if we'd like to try their dessert. Dessert!?? Oh man, next time I gotta save room for that! We needed to-go boxes so she brought us the ones you get at a Chinese restaurant with a large plastic bag, and even included extra sauces in the plastic containers and lids! Very thoughtful because we love those sauces! Restrooms are outside the restaurant just steps away - walk out the door, turn left, go past Ninja Sushi, you'll see a hanging sign ahead. Mahalo Thai Village for an enjoyable meal and friendly service! We shall return very soon!
