I'm about to become a chubby girl because of this local business! Viet chubby boy offers the best pho broth on island! Free parking in a lot shared by several Kalihi businesses. Located in the Kapalama Shopping Center by the post office in Kalihi. Look for the bright yellow sign! The interior of the restaurant is humble and old school reminiscent. Plenty of seating. I noticed you can reserve a table ahead of time. My boyfriend and I enjoyed an order of spring rolls. Fresh, light and crispy. Not oily at all! My boyfriend's Thai tea was sweet and refreshing. My viet iced coffee was spectacular! It is blended, unlike at most other viet spots. I personally loved it! The beef combination pho was delicious. The broth was crazy good! Portion of noodles was generous. Not as much meat, but I didn't mind. The staff were so sweet! The auntie was bubbly and cute, cheering with me when our food arrived. Very attentive uncle and owner as well. I noticed several regulars coming in for takeout. It is apparent to me how much care goes into their business, despite the staff's long hours (12 hour shifts)! Be sure to check this place out and support Viet Chubby Boy! read more

Such a welcoming and homey Vietnamese hidden gem! Workers were so nice and, genuinely caring. We had several conversations and learned about each other! The food was perfect, it is a wide variety between Vietnamese, Chinese, and American dishes. I love how this would give everyone an option whether or not they like Vietnamese cuisine or not. read more

Service: 5 s Ambiance: clean, comfy, adequate space, "homely!" *Food: [Beef stew w/noodles]- choice given of egg or vermicelli rice type, opted for "egg" noodle but it looked more like a thinner type of chow mein but it still worked out for the thickness and texture was ideal as the egg noodle I'm familiar is the noodle similar to a twisted "pasta" noodle which is softer. The stew meat and broth was AMAZING and the spices added offered comfort visiting for a first time customer with satisfaction confirmed! [Lemon grass Banh mi]- I had better elsewhere. Sandwich lacked lemongrass flavor, veggies were fresh and filling was minimal. It wasn't bad but wasn't the best. Therefore, NOT an item I would reorder. *Drinks: Smoothie & ice tea, just ordinary, but really refreshing! Pictures on display is misleading. Color difference matters but accepted what was delivered to the table anyway. Quality: REPEAT visits will be worth it! read more

Wow. Hands down the best Vietnamese food I have ever had, not even just on Oahu. The French dip is one of the best things i have ever eaten. The pho broth that comes with is the perfect level of savory and light and warm. The beef is perfectly tender, and the bread is just right balance of crunch and softness. I could eat this French dip every day. The vermicelli noodle bowl was also delicious and I loved the crispiness and sauce of the tofu. The Thai tea was the right level of sweetness, and the chili oil. That homemade chili oil is something else. It's aromatic, fresh, and utterly delectable. It was so good we bought a jar of it. Service was very quick and the owners working it were so friendly and hospitable. Food came out fresh and fast, and though there is limited seating, tables seem to move quickly. The ambience is no frills, clean, and cozy. I can't wait to come back! read more

I've heard nothing but good things about Viet Chubby Boy - situated in the Kapalama Shopping Plaza, on North King Street. The name alone made me want to guve them a try. I walked in off peak lunch hours - 130p - and they were still quite busy with in-dining customers and takeaway orders. Requested their Beef Stew Noodle Soup. You have a choice of egg or rice noodles, I got the latter. Bò Kho with vermicelli. The beef broth was sweet with plenty of onions. Dish came with the typical accoutrements one would get with Pho - the Hoisin was mixed with chili oil. The broth was good and the chunks of chuck roast were tender and with carrots...kinda looked like local style beef stew...sorta. Also, got an Iced Vietnamese Coffee. Strong and sweet as one comes to expect. Robusta coffee is SE Asian coffee is definitely underrated. Hours are 1000a to 1000p daily, except Sundays, when they're closed. A few tables ...about six or seven...make up an L-shaped dining area. Parking stalls align the strip mall which is shared with a liquor store and other eateries. They are directly across from the old Diners ( now Upscale Hawaii ) and have been for the past three years. read more

My family loves this place! The staff/owners are so kind and helpful. Food came out quick and everything was delicious. The first time I came I had the lemongrass chicken bahn mi. It was delicious, definitely had a kick to it (if your spice tolerance is fairly low like mine). This time I had the French dip and it was great as well. Will definitely be back to try their pho as I see so many people raving about it. read more

Viet Chubby Boy is a nice tiny but homey restaurant. I've seen their menu before and it looked good, i figured it would be nice to try their banh mis. I got the lemongrass beef sandwich which was really good! It lives up to its name. The lemongrass came thru nicely, i appreciated the bold flavor. It's also fairly filling too. What stood out even more was their beef pho! I was surprised by how good their broth was. For whatever reason it felt really authentic and well balanced. It had this natural sweetness to it. Its something I'll definitely come back for. read more

Wanted to try this place after some friends said they enjoy it! Located in Kalihi in same cluster as Diners. Clean bright spot that's in the old saimin house location. Ordered some spring rolls, combo pho, Thai iced coffee. Spring rolls were nothing special. Tight thin rolls with standard fixings. Romaine lettuce was a little different as there were 2 big leaves. Pho was a nice clear broth with a clean taste. Noodles were thin and not stuck together in a ball. Ample amounts of beef. The special sauce they serve had nice flavor, kind of like Chinese XO sauce but different?? The people working there seemed like husband/wife and were super friendly and always refilled my water. Thai coffee was good. Would I come back? Most definitely! read more

I ordered the n10 beef Vermicelli bowl with lemongrass beef. I thought it was pretty good but it wasn't as much of a taste bud party as the pork vermicelli bowl which included spring roll, that I had before. For me, I think it was that I didn't really taste much lemongrass which is one of my favorite spices. I really like the intimacy of this restaurant. There's not a whole lot of seating, but the staff are quick to help you out or make sure your glass is full. This is a solid place for us to go to when we're in Honolulu. read more

I LOVE VIET CHUBBY BOY! My coworkers and I bring up ordering from them at least once a week. We all know what we want and it's the pho french dip sandwich! If there's anything you have to try it's this specific sandwich. It's so flavorful and delish! The meat is tender and packed with seasoning. And I like how the bean sprouts were cooked since it gets rid of the bitter taste the fresh ones add. They're super easy to order with over the phone and to pick up. I think they actually know who I am... since they start ringing me up when I walk in?? We've even optimized the route we take for maximum time on lunch but I would love to eat there in person for lunch so the food is extra extra fresh :) read more

Viet Chubby Boy - Spring Rolls & Grilled Shrimp Vermicelli Vermicelli with Spring Rolls and BBQ Pork - Asian Fusion Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

I've been wanting to try Viet Chubby Boy for about 2 years now. They are located in the same lot as Gueib Cafe, Sakana Grill & Upscale Hawai'i. Parking is tight but if you come during off hours, there are lots of open stalls. Recently Yelp GF told me that he tried their French Dip (Banh Mi) and said it was amazing. It was the nudge I needed to finally go down and give them a try. I decided to order their French Dip to go. Since I was in a rush, I called my order in and it only took them about 15-20 minutes to get my order ready. Customer service was friendly and the place was pretty busy with people waiting for their take out orders. The drive home was fragrant and got me excited for my first bite. I thought the sandwich would have more roasted beef brisket but it was mostly bean sprouts. When I could taste the brisket, it was good but almost every bite tasted only like bean sprouts. I used up the container of their saute sauce in a few bites to try drown out the dominant bean sprout taste. Their saute sauce was quite tasty. Good thing I have a lot of saute sauce at home so I could finish the banh mi. Their broth is on the sweeter side and I liked that they have a lot of sliced onion in it. Personally, I was disappointed but if the sandwich had more brisket and not as much bean sprouts, I think it could have been quite good. read more

Viet Chubby Boy - French Dip - Asian Fusion Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My first time trying this Vietnamese restaurant. I went during off hours, so plenty of parking and I was the only customer. The dining area is small, but very cozy with minimal decor. The menu is extensive typical of a Vietnamese restaurant, but I am here to try the Pho. The broth is very light, but beefy. Not too sweet. But its missing the essence of the spices, like the cinnamon, star anise, cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom and fennel. Also the smokiness of the onions and ginger. I just prefer my pho broth to be heavier on the spices. But I still enjoyed it. The rice noodles was perfect, and the meat toppings is a little on the stingy side. Also only one size bowl. I also tried the Summer Rolls with BBQ Pork. It was just average to me. Service was good, attentive and refilled my water when needed. Came to check on me a couple of time. My Mom called me while eating and I ended up ordering the Chicken Pho for take out for my Mom. They did get busier after I sat down with mostly take out orders. I will definitely come back again. I like the convenience of satisfying my Pho cravings and I don't have to drive to downtown/Chinatown. read more

The banh mi here is decent, but not something I would call the best on the island. The bread is good, but a little shorter than what I've had at other banh mi shops. I also felt like they could use either more veggies or more meat to really balance things out. As it stands, the flavors are there, but the portions do not quite hit that satisfying banh mi ratio. That said, the variety of sandwiches is nice, prices are reasonable, and the people working here are friendly and welcoming. The space is pretty basic, and they have not really brought back indoor seating since Covid, but it works fine for quick pickup. Overall, this is a solid and convenient option, especially if you do not feel like driving all the way to Chinatown. I would call it about a 3.7/5 so I round up. Not a destination sandwich shop that some people consider it, but reliable and easy when you want something quick and familiar. read more

I cannot say enough GREAT things about this place! Not only did I verbatim say "this is the best Vietnamese food I've ever had" out loud, but when we came back the next week, Han, our server, remembered us and gave us big hugs and wanted to know our names. She is so warm and made us feel so welcome :) also the chili oil for ever single dish is a MUST. Chill vibes, amazing small business, go support and come back for more. Both dine in and pick up were great, but from now on we'll be dining in because of Han! So good!!!!! read more

Viet Chubby Boy - N6. Spring Rolls & Grilled Pork Vermicelli N8. Spring Rolls & Grilled Shrimp Vermicelli - Asian Fusion Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We were in the area and looking for a place to eat on Yelp. Viet Chubby Boy popped up with good reviews and a menu with a variety of dishes. We were only 2 minutes away so decided to check it out. We're glad we did since the selection was very good and the dishes were five-star! They have a variety of Asian dishes, not just Vietnamese as you would think by their name. I had the salad wrap; lettuce leaf with minced pork, shrimp, bell peppers and garlic. Very tasty and healthy dish. All the ingredients complemented each other nicely. We also had the fried spring rolls vermicelli. The spring rolls were light and crispy with a good amount of filling. The vermicelli cooked well, not overcooked, and came with a their house fish sauce, very flavorful. The prices are also competitive and you definitely get your money's worth. The place is cozy and comfortable. Parking is convenient as the lot is right outside. Service is excellent and they all seem to look out for you. Highly recommend the food here, either eating in or take out. We'll definitely come back to try some of the many other dishes on the menu. read more

I've had this place bookmarked on Yelp for a while, and I'm so glad we finally got to visit! For appetizers, we tried the Vietnamese fried corn style. It was sweet and the savory flavor from the shrimp paste or sauce was so good. We also got the bomb tofu,it's also surprisingly good. For our mains, we ordered the stir-fried egg noodles with seafood and the Pho French Dip. I really enjoyed the Pho French Dip. It has roasted beef brisket with avocado sauce, thai basil, bean sprout, onion, cilantro in a Viatnamese baguette. It's oily but the flavor is well-balanced and so good when I dipped it in their house pho broth. Actually, both the stir-fried egg noodles and pho french dip were already tasty on their own, but when the staff offered chili oil, it completely elevated the flavors. It was so good that I asked if they sold it, and they do! The staff told us they make it fresh with lemongrass and chili, and they even bottled one for us. He said it lasts about three months in the fridge. I also love that they serve dishes you don't usually find at typical Vietnamese restaurants. The staff was friendly, fast, and accommodating. There was plenty of parking, and the restaurant wasn't too busy when we dined in. read more

Drove by here many times never took notice of this small unassuming small pho restaurant...located in same parking lot as Diners upscale ( right before post office) The parking is shared with alot of other eateries. The insides is small maybe 6 or 7 tables it (wasnt cramped) appears to all be manned (host waiter busboy cashier etc) by one guy. He was busy but pleasant in his duties. The insides is airconditioned (gotta be if you eating pho) with wooden tables and chairs (I think). Menu was typical Pho fare...(pho..rice dish vietnamese sandwhiches etc) the portions was decent and prices (I thought was on the high side but manageable) My friend said tbe soup was good more on the sweet side.... All in all not a bad experience and an option for pho while in kalihi.. read more

Went there for dinner and I ordered the spicy chicken plate which was okay, could use more flavor it was like fried chicken which was toasted in a little bit of chili sauce. My wife had the brisket ban min and I tried some and it was a disappointed it was like a brisket paste and lots of bean sprouts with not much flavor. read more

Best French dip sandwich I've ever had! This spot is unassuming and humble yet everything we ordered was so good and could tell they take pride in their product. Service was great, we were well taken care of even after I made a mistake, graciously the gentlemen allowed me to swap for what I intended to order. Even their pho broth was a standout among other restaurants. Definitely added to the list for a "go to" spot! read more

Three words. Bomb dot com. So happy we finally got the chance to try this place out and it's definitely a new favorite. I recommend skipping the line at Guieb Cafe and coming here instead. The restaurant gives "hole in the wall" vibes, serving popular Vietnamese dishes taken up a notch. We ordered lemongrass chicken Bahn Mi with a side of pho broth for dipping, chicken fish sauce rice plate, and a Vietnamese coffee. The pho broth was love at first taste -- so herbaceous as if it was simmering for hours on the stovetop. The sandwich was loaded and went perfect with the pho broth. The chicken... omg the chicken... the sauce was perfectly sticky but the chicken was still crunchy and juicy and not overcooked. And the Vietnamese coffee was like a Vietnamese Frappuccino. It must have crack in it because it was just so good! Can't wait to come back again soon! read more

Viet Chubby Boy. Very descriptive restaurant name! So, when hubby and I were in the area running errands, we had an opportune time to visit this Vietnamese restaurant. Our server, who also is the owner and chef, Kevin, graciously explained that this was his nickname given to him by his wife when he was 50 lbs heavier. So, at 50 lbs lighter now, you won't find him chubby anymore. Love the restaurant's logo of Kevin's caricature profile on the staff t-shirts, caps, cover menu, and building front. Originally from Vietnam, Kevin started cooking when he was enrolled in the culinary programs at Leeward and Kapiolani community colleges. This brought back memories when he was younger, and he learned to combine them with the local Japanese and Korean accents. He then opened his restaurant in the former Old Saimin House in the Kapalama Shopping Plaza in July 2022. Viet Chubby Boy is a casual, hole-in-the-wall restaurant offers authentic, as well as creative Vietnamese comfort dishes using Korean (e.g., kim chee) and Japanese accents (e.g., cheese omelette topped with mayo and an okonomiyaki-style sauce) to accommodate local residents familiar to Asian multi-ethnic tastes. It also offers an interesting Vietnamese street food of fried corn with butter, tiny shrimps, hot sauce, and green onion. I liked the menu, which has pictures and a description of the item. The menu consists of: * Appetizers: rolls, fried corn, chicken wings, sausages, won ton, sliders. * Salads: wraps, papaya, tofu, beef, onion rings, fries, edamame, meat balls. * Banh Mi: French dip, meats, chicken, eggs, veggies. * Pho: beef, oxtail, chicken, seafood, veggies. * Stir-fried noodles: udon, egg noodles w/ seafood. * Soups: tom yum, won ton, tofu, chicken noodle, curry udon. * Vermicelli: spring rolls, chicken, pork, shrimp. * Rice plate: shaken beef, kalbi, chicken, curry, pork chop. * Drinks: smoothies, Vietnamese iced coffee, teas, juices, sodas. We ordered: * Beef Pho Combination. This pho had rare steak stewed brisket, beef tripe, beef balls, white & green onion, cilantro, and noodles, with the broth having a good balance of spices and seasonings. Additional fresh veggies of bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime were provided. The broth was super flavorful, light, and clean. * French Dip. The banh mi had slices of roasted beef brisket, basil, bean sprouts, grilled onions, and cilantro with avocado sauce. The bread was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, making it a perfect sandwich. And going a step further, dipping it into their existing pho broth made it a delicious and creative lunch! Each table has a cute combo of dispenser bottles for Sriracha and hoi sin sauce. You are also served a small dish of house-made sauce of garlic and chilis that provides another layer of deliciousness. Staff and Kevin who served us were super friendly and accommodating. Always with smiles, Kevin and staff ensure that our water glasses are filled, and that you're enjoying your meal there. You can tell that they are proud of their dishes made from scratch using high quality ingredients. The small restaurant is clean and welcoming. The walls are adorned with colorful photos of their menu items. Hours of operation are Mon to Sat 10a to 10p and Sun closed. Free parking in a private lot that is shared with other restaurants and bars in the shopping complex. Parking stalls are small, so it's best to go during off-peak hours when it is not as busy. With good food, an innovative menu, and great customer service, we look forward to returning to try other menu items. Support local! read more

First timer for this spot. My friends and I went for lunch. The spot was a bit small with some tables. Parking available in the front. Location is same spot as Upscale Diner and Guieb Cafe. We ordered some things and shared. - Thai Tea - not too sweet, good - Spring rolls - freshly made, crispy and hot spring roll. Tasty - Grilled pork banh mi - the bread was crispy. The pork meat tender and juicy with flavor. Much more meat than veggies. - Lemongrass chicken vermicelli- the chicken was stripped rather than chunky. A little different. It was good, but I would prefer the chunky version. Attentive and friendly service. Food was delicious. read more

With all the holiday food I've been eating, my tummy craved the simple comfort foods- here is my story On the road and on my way home I yelped "Vietnamese Pho" in close proximity to me and a couple places popped up. My first stop was closed for the holidays. So I select the next place closest to me and it turned out to be Viet Chubby Boy They are located in a strip commercial center on North King Street a block east fron the Waiakamilo/King intersection. Parking available but I suspect during high noon or dinner hours, parking may become an arduous task. Mr Nguyen (he took care of business like no other, I'm guessing he might be the owner. But if so, he wasn't very chubby.) He handed me a menu offered me some water or tea while I wait for my order to go. Now how's that for service? The portions of the food order is huge. The taste of the food? I will no longer ever say Vietnamese food is Vietnamese food... The Kalbi strips were is seasoned to perfection.

This place is on our list of "what are eating tonight" weeknights that we are too lazy to cook. We love the pho broth here because it's slightly more cloudy and full of flavor. One of my GoTo favorites is the vermicelli with spring rolls and pork because the portion is huge and the pork is melt in your mouth. The service is also so so friendly. Sometime we each order take out from this place when we're being lazy lazy. They have a few quirky off the usual Vietnamese food menu like the cheese omelette that has a mayonnaise drizzle. Really delicious and simple but paying for then $12 for a simple omelette that I can make at home is against my religion. This place can get busy and the parking kinda sucks so be ready to wait or find street parking. That never stops us. read more

Words alone cannot describe how utterly amazing this place is. The comfort of the Pho and deliciousness of the Banh Mi has me in a chokehold that I don't want to tap out to.

Found this on Yelp because it has a few dishes that I'm not used to seeing on the menu at these types of Vietnamese place. It was a little whole in the wall place but sometimes those are the gems some skip and miss out on. As soon as we walked in we were greeted & seated immediately. They were very pleasant and helpful. Now let's talk about the food. Because let's face it, that is what we're here for. We started with spring roll app. They were yummy little rolls. I liked that the order was bigger than most other places. The beef stew with egg noodles was my dinner. I have to stay that I think this was the best one I've had. I order this at every Vietnamese joint we go to. The broth was to die for. BUT, the beef was not super tender as beef stew meat is supposed to be. However, I will still get it next time. My husband got the spicy beef dip. It was definitely spicy. This was also very good. It didn't have the pickled veggies like the typical Vietnamese sandwich but that didn't matter because it was perfect just the way it was. We also ordered for takeout the soft egg noodle tofu and vegetables for my son. He ate & asked when we going again. Haha. He did say it was a bit spicy though. We were both so delighted that I discovered a new place to add to our favorites list in the area. read more

Viet Chubby Boy is located in Kalihi, sharing a parking lot with a few other eateries and stores. The parking is plentiful for a late night meal and it was surprisingly busy for being after 9pm on a weekday. I guess only a few places are open late. The food is good, but it wasn't the best Vietnamese food I've had. I enjoyed the appetizers and appreciated the fact that they offer things sometimes not offered at other restaurants. I think I've had better summer rolls and pho at other places, but given the fact that this place is open late, I think I'd still be back to try other things on the menu and my husband liked his bunmee bowl. I like that they offer sandwiches in addition to their entrees and appetizers. They also have a yuzu ice cream on the menu that I want to try. The service was good. The people helping us were friendly and attentive. It seems like a family-run place and I like supporting family-run shops and restaurants. The best part about this place is that they are open late. I'll be sure to be back when I am looking for somewhere to eat that is open past 9pm. read more

I had this place bookmarked for da longest time after seeing a few of my Yelp buddies - Da FAMOUS Auntie Nadine C., Gail U., Bruddah Craig T., Deborah P., Gabriel P., Val D., & StaciLei T. post some awesome reviews, and great pics. Don't cha' think "Viet Chubby Boy" is a catchy name??? I was thinking that maybe I'd actually see a chubby cook or something, but da only chubby, or fat guy in da restaurant was me! Buwahahahahaha! As I walked into the restaurant with my homie - Gary T., we were greeted & seated right away. Menus were dropped off shortly, but truthfully, I already knew what I came here for......da Frrrrrrried Chicken wings with fish sauce. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! I ended getting da spicy version of da Frrrrrrried Chicken wings with fish sauce, & my friend ordered a vermicelli noodle dish with grilled pork & spring rolls. As an appetizer, we shared some onion rings. What can I say about da grub??? Loved the taste of the wings, although I didn't think my wings were spicy. The deep fried wings were a bit overdone, as the meat was a bit dried out, but of course the fish sauce really helped put back some moisture in those wings. My meal came with a scoop of white rice & a salad. The onion rings were done perfectly! Big chunks of onions, battered & deep fried to perfection. My friend Gary enjoyed his noodle dish. Overall, a positive dining experience. If you like hole-in-da-wall joints, Viet Chubby Boy is your classic example, as it provides classic Vietnamese comfort food. read more

This is my boyfriend and I's go to pho spot! The service here is always phenomenal. It always seems to be the same guy (that wears glasses) working and he's always so sweet and attentive. Our go to order is the beef combination pho which has a really clean and clear broth. I also enjoy their shaking beef and love that they also offer crinkle fries because you can also do a side order of fries. And soup with a side of fries is a combo that I personally love! The beef stew and bahn mis are also really good. But the fried chicken is a whole other thing you have to try as an appetizer or get even as a rice plate! They have about 6 tables and the shared lot does get busy but we have also done takeout a few times and the food is just as good! We will be back! read more
