Must try their oxtail pho! Oxtail has a lot meat and pcs. So far I have not had highblood when I finish my oxtail pho which is good that’s why I keep coming back. I know that when I finish my bowl I won’t have any problems (but that’s my experience). Pho Time is my go to for oxtail pho, bun bu hue, and pho in general.

*i’m not sponsored or paid in any shape of form. Just a loyal customer who loves their food 😁“

“I have been coming here since I was a kid and it is always great.“

“Hands down the best pho I’ve ever had! I’ve tried multiple spots on the island, but I always find myself coming back here. The flavors are unmatched, fresh, and comforting every single time. The seating inside is a little limited, so there can be a wait, but it’s always 100% worth it. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and they do their best to get you seated quickly. Easily my favorite spot for pho!“

“Fantastic restaurant and experience with plentiful and great tasting authentic Vietnamese cuisine! They were kind enough to seat our party of five near their closing time! Big Kiné Mahalo and we’ll certainly be back again real soon! 🤙🏼“

“The food tasted amazing and the service was really fast. Portion sizes are good and it's a all vegan menu. We got the Pho and the Bahn Mi and both were flavouful and delicious. Parking is not easy to find on the street, but there is a paid parking lot nearby. They also have a variety of beverages including sugarcane juice and coconut water“

“Was a bit slower when I went in which made the atmosphere relaxed and quiet with a low music playing in the background. Service was very good, I didn't have to ask for any refills and she was prompt with bringing things.

I definitely recommend the lemonade!! I'm not super big on lemonade but she said fresh and it kind of sounded good at the time. Boy let me tell you! If lemonade tastes like this all the time I would drink it all the time!! It's more like a limeade maybe than a lemon but was super refreshing and just so good!

The food is delicious! I got chicken pho and fresh rolls (not pictured as they didn't last). Smaller size bowl is perfect size to not leave left overs and hit the beach after. The flavor was really good with a nice broth that didn't taste watered down. The veggie side plate that comes with it came with plenty of everything for the meal. This place didn't disappoint.“

“Super delicious rice noodles with the juiciest, most flavorful lemongrass chicken. Just such a delight to eat crispy veggies and herbs on a hot day here. The owner was so sweet too and chatted with us. This spot has been around for ~20+ years, too!“

“Went here for lunch, the food was super good (and that’s coming from a Vietnamese person), all the food came out really fast, there was a short wait to get in though. The only issue I have is that since it is in china town it is super hard to find parking. Other than that it is a great Vietnamese restaurant and I highly recommend it.“

“The Vietnamese pancakes and iced coffee is a must try...“

“The Vietnamese pancakes and iced coffee is a must try...“

“My first time trying this Vietnamese restaurant. I went during off hours, so plenty of parking and I was the only customer.

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.“

“My wife and I both stated that our dining experience was worth $200, while we only spent $50 for the 2 of us. Our waitress was so helpful and kind. She explained the specials well and gave instruction on how to eat the food for the best experience. This reminded us of an expensive steakhouse feeling. But this is just a mom and pop small chop with big hearts and great food.“

“Good food. Great people. Been here 3 days straight for lunch because of my picky son. :-) And my Mom and Aunt are vegetarian. If you are here visiting and want good Vietnamese food. Give them a try.“

“The Best! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌴 Vietnamese’s Crispy Chicken Wings With Lemon Wedges, Salt Pepper, Sautéed Onions On Top! Are My Favorite Here, Always Great Food, Mommas Broths! & Open Until Midnight!!“

“Great Pho. Tasty and great service“

“Wow…we loved our meals. We stopped here by quickly on our way from Waikiki to the airport, and easily found street parking. The vermicelli bowls with lemongrass chicken & tofu (and a banh mi with pork + chicken) were so fresh, so filling, and really high quality. Delicious Vietnamese iced coffee. The service was kind, as well. Highly recommend for a relaxed & high quality meal!!“

“Very generous portion for the price. Pho soup came piping hot. The noodle was cooked perfectly al dente. The broth was not overly oily, great taste. Beef balls had great texture, not too soft not too chewy. Hu tieu was delicious with the fried garlic in the broth. Would definitely come back to try other menu!“

“Best broth. Clear. I order the brisket and iced coffee. ONO ! Bean sprouts very clean.“

“You must eat here! Fantastic food and very friendly service. It seemed that everyone was a local and all of the food we ordered was 100% amazing:

- Iced Coffee was a must have!
- cold vermicelli noodles had an amazing house fish sauce. The chicken and spring rolls were tasty!
- pho was the most fragrant, delicious broth!“

“Pho broth is really good 👍“

“Today I got to try the Vietnamese Sandwich with the Vietnamese Coffee. The sandwich was packed and with great taste. However, the Vietnamese Coffee was just too sweet for me. A person sitting at the same table as me had advised me that the coffee taste really good without the sugar, so I will be trying it again with no sugar next time.
The husband and wife working here are very sweet people. They are very friendly and helpful.“

“Friendly and good service! Delicious oxtail soup!“

“This has been hands down my favorite, go to, consistent, cute, clean, family owned and operated small business Vietnamese restaurant for over a decade now. My favorite dishes are the chicken pho when I am sick (so clean, so healthy, so fresh, and they use shredded white meat chicken for American taste!), the spring roll and bbq pork vermicelli bowl, and when I want something heavier the curry. This place is so wonderful I hope it never closes. It's the real Kaimuki. It's the Kaimuki before all those bougie places moved in and it's better than them all. Prices are really reasonable, food is fresh and tasty, the place is clean and nice, even the ice water tastes especially good! This place is a gem. Five stars.“

“*Parking: Street parking
*Overall review: Local atmosphere, rich taste of rice noodle soup + noodles are very soft and delicious. Would definitely visit again. Recommended!

This is a local Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown. It's not a modern atmosphere, but there are plenty of table seats and the food comes out right after you order! The food was plentiful and the rice noodles were delicious, so I wanted to order other soup dishes next time. Recommended Recommended

Pho Large $16: It's a sweet broth, but it's delicious. In particular, the rice noodles are thinner and very soft than other places. Since I wasn't hungry, I ordered one and shared it between the two of us, and it was just the right amount.
Ice Coffee $5: Sweet Vietnamese ice coffee.
Ban Mi $11: The banh mi bread is delicious. I was full so I only ate one bite, but it was okay.“

“The only thing I didn’t like were the metal chairs and the noise. Service, food, and even the wait time were incredible. (We didn’t make a reservation and they still got us in quickly.“

“Love their Papaya salad platters, Phö broth, Sandwiches, Vermicelli, plate lunch combos, Summer rolls, desserts and smoothies. All so fresh, tasty and delicious!! The owner is amazingly friendly and can remember your name and your order from previous visits. Miss the indoor dining.“

“Casual Vietnamese restaurant with a diverse selection of noodle dishes from different regions of Vietnam. I tried the hu tieu Nam Vang, which was a delicious bowl of clear noodle soup. The flavor was solid, and while the squid and shrimp were just okay, the overall dish hit the spot. I’m definitely interested in trying their other noodle bowls. Service was quick and efficient.“

“We ordered beef Pho, chicken fried spring rolls and curry rice with chicken. It all came out steaming hot. The pho was very good they add the basil, bean sprouts and jalapeños before they bring it out. Lots of flavor. The chicken spring rolls had noodles and mushrooms they were excellent. Right up there with the best ones I’ve had. The curry rice was a green curry it didn’t say that so maybe this changes. It was full of flavor with lots of chicken in it. My wife’s favorite part was the torro. Over all I would highly recommend this place.“

“I’ve been traveling for a bit and missing pho. This family restaurant that has been opened for 20 years and really satisfied my craving. Luckily my airbnb isn’t too far, might be coming back for a second round of phở đặc biệt.

Really enjoyed conversing with the owner and getting to know his story.

Unsure what the bad review is all about- I thought I had a great experience!“

“The food is amazing and the service is always with Aloha 🥰“

“It is surprisingly good. I picked this place because it was right next to the airport when I landed, but the food quality wowed me. The noodle was very fresh, it was not some dried noodle that got heated up, but actual freshly made noodles which a lot of other Vietnamese restaurants don't offer. Other dishes are good too!“

“Such a great food spot! Will definitely be back here again when we visit Hawai’i. The amount of vegetables were abundant, and the pho broth itself was delicious. It also came out quick and hot. The owner often checked on our table and asked us if everything was okay. Really nice!!“

“Wonderful hospitality!! And always delicious. 😍 Always a must stop when we are in town. Plus the atmosphere is great as well.“

“Went there earlier today and got the wafu steak with the sashimi, tempura(5pcs), and miso soup(included). And lemme tell you they have the most ono wafu steak. You could tell that steak was marinated. It was tender and juicy. You know when your order is ready when the whole restaurant smells like steak. I would definitely recommend trying the wafu steak. It feeds a family of 3 for 30 bucks.“

“Had a late night basketball tournament at the Hawaii Convention Center. We looking for a quick place to grab food and stumbled into the parking of Saigon Grill. Menu had plenty of options. The business was open late. The food was delicious 😋. I am definitely going back.“

“Literally the best pho I've ever had! The staff was super kind and even served us despite two members of our party not having enough cash on hand. The place is cash only but there's an ATM in the 7-11 nearby so it's not a problem!“

“Love this place! amazing food and service!“

“I'm vegetarian and they accommodated my dietary restriction. They made a bowl of vegetarian salad with vermicelli and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you BR!“

“The catfish is constantly good always have that when I go there“

“No frills Vietnamese food in a small but comfortable space on the edge of Chinatown.... The food was very fresh and authentic. Run by a local couple/family, the service was very hospitable... Prices very fair. The Vietnamese coffee was traditional slow drip and delicious. Ordered the banh mi sandwich and it was also a star... The bread was fresh baked, and had the perfect texture and softness on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the crust. Definitely recommended.“

“I love Pho and I'm glad I come to this Vietnamese restaurant. Food and service are good, and portion is also pretty big. I start with Pho Cuon rolls, it is ok but I like Nem Nuong Cuon better. For main I have Pho Suon Bo and it supposed to be a meal for 2. Soup is very nice and short ribs is soft and delicious. I'm so surprise that they have flan in the menu, and I like it a lot. If you like Vietnamese food, this place is the real deal.“

“We had a great experience here. Hugh was very friendly and suggested delicious dishes. We started with the chicken wings which were super crispy! Then we had two types of pho, lemongrass chicken and teriyaki chicken. Everything was tasty and the portions were generous.“

“My Vietnamese friend suggested that we order the Super Pho Seven Courses of Beef at her favorite Vietnamese restaurant. It had a good variety of beef prepared in different ways. My favorite was the Lemon Beef Salad that we rolled up into rice paper and dipped into a delicious sauce. This restaurant not only has the best tasting food, they have the largest menu with over 100 authentic dishes. On Tuesday I ate at Broken Rice and last night I ate at Hale Vietnam, so that's 3 different Vietnamese restaurants in 3 days in a 2 block radius. This one is the only one that I ***** Highly Recommended!*****“

“Try their Oxtail Soup it's really delicious!
The Oxtail very tasty & yummy!
My friends love their Oxtail soup too!
The beef rice plate so good too.
They give us a lot of green vegetables too!
🖐❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖🤟“

“Fantastic food, delicious drinks, and the most welcoming staff. Everything our group of 6 ordered was outstanding and we all said we couldn’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!“

“Muy divertido y muy amables las personas que lo atienden“

“Kim, Kevin, and the tasty food keep us returning. The only suggestion we would offer is that the food for the plate lunches be kept consistently on a food warmer that's turned on, rather than giving it an appearance that the food is heated.“
