“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! 🤙🏼“

“Love this place.
I've been pho hopping on island to find the best and authentic pho place!

this was my 5th pho spot on Oahu and the best one so far!!!!!! PERIOD!

Not mixed with other food like chinese or thai etc.

Staffs are super friendly as well!!

Dont miss out this place!!!

Only cons : It's very small place.
- needs more A/C when it's packed.

Hope their business goes well and have bigger restaurants soon! Mahalo!

Kid-friendliness: have high chair
offer extra bowl for baby“

“I visited on 1/25/25 while visiting Honolulu. I loved having this vegan option while exploring the Chinatown area of Honolulu. We had a banh mi, fried wontons, and crispy noodle stir fry. It all tasted great! One thing to note, the restaurant was a little confusing to find at first. You enter doors from outside and then the restaurant is to the right through another door. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 because I do question is there is any non-vegan cross contamination… but they advertise being vegan and it tasted good!

“The Vietnamese-style sandwiches here are outstanding, reasonably priced, and always made fresh.

My go to move here is to put an order in and then spend the 15-25 minutes while they make the sandwiches at The Curb over a coffee. I take it to go. Most people do.

The proprietors are lovely people and they are busting their asses. Support local.“

“The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Lemongrass chicken vermicelli and is was so delicious I almost finished the whole meal. Also, amazing pricing for the amounts that are given. Thank you so much! Will definitely be back to try more!“

“A cozy little Vietnamese cafe offering a wonderful variety of dishes. I enjoyed the Pho` Combo. Good size portion at a good price. The broth was delicate and delicious served piping hot. I have some concerns about black pepper in the broth but it didn't stop me from enjoying it all the same. The staff was friendly and eager to please. I can see myself making a detour to have lunch here in the near future.“

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

“I stopped by after parking and shopping at a nearby supermarket. It had a very local atmosphere, and the tables were filled one after the other, so I was able to enjoy authentic pho. The fresh spring rolls were also delicious.
I borrowed a toilet, and I was allowed to use the toilet behind the kitchen, but I was wondering if it would be okay to be in a place with such a feeling of living.
Lastly, we had something similar to a malasada for dessert. I would like to go again if I have the chance.

Kid-friendliness: It's safe even if you bring children.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Visited about 15 minutes walk from Ala Moana Center.
I ordered a small size of stir-fried water spinach with garlic, crab curry, and French bread, but I think there are about 3 servings of water spinach and crab curry. That was the amount.
It was delicious, but since I visited alone, I ended up leaving a little behind.“

“Very good find in keeaumoku. We were very surprised with the value and the food served here. I have my favorites as far as vietnamese restaurants go in Hawaii, but I think I will add this to my go too.

Parking: Parking sucks here and the stalls are very small. Find street parking, you will thank me later.“

“Maybe you pass this place on your way to Pipeline. Maybe you shouldn't because the food is so damn delicious. Maybe you should come here everyday because you can get a delicious bahn mi in whatever flavor your desire, pho, or a staple Vietnamese dish. Just eat here, you won't regret it. Vegan options available.“

“This IS The BEST Pho' On The Island, My Wife And I Have Tried Every Pho' Place Recommended And Not Recommended. And This Is The Best Pho' On The Island.
The Broth Alone Is Amazing.
Also They're Curry Dishes Are Just As Delicious. It's A Great Place. I Love Pho' King ;).
Also If You Get Off On Making Google Say Swear Words Ask Google To Call Pho' King Restaurant In Wahiawa. I Can't Stop Laughing.“

“Clean restaurant serving Vietnamese noodle dishes off King Street in Chinatown. Visited here with my friend who likes the Bun Bo Hue here.

Ordered the Bun Rieu (Crab Meat Noodle) to try something new but felt there was more filler ingredients (tofu and big wedges of tomatoes) than crab meat unfortunately.... Didnt look like what was pictured on the menu. Live and learn. Overall service was good on refills of water. 4 stars.“

“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.“

“I love the spring roll vermicelli here (pictured) and I also highly recommend the Vietnamese iced coffee. You get a lot of food for the price and it is all very high-quality. They have free parking in the garage off Beretania street :)“

“*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.“

“Friendly and good service! Delicious oxtail soup!“

“Nice small place owned by a couple. The owners are really sweet.I had the lemon grass chicken vermicelli. Based upon other reviews, I had high expectations, but I have certainly had better vermicelli bowls at a few other places in the USA. I intend to go back and try the bahn mi due to praise for it in other reviews, and will update my own accordingly.The owners are really nice, but after asking for more water, they seems to forget as I never received any more. Therefore, I can't give this place 5 stars.“

“Pho broth is really good 👍“

“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.“

“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!*****“

“Tried their periwinkle soup noodle #70 the first time and it's delicious - a light and slightly sweet broth. The pork's blood cake they used was the smoothest I've tried for a long time outside of Asia! It wasn't the normal hard and grainy texture - amazing! I've been here so many times and every time the food was good. With so many choices on the menu, it's hard to not find what you like for everyone at the table. The service was straightforward and prompt. Sometimes there are people waiting outside, so it's good to be mindful about how much time spent at the table as well. I'm a regular so see you later!“

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

“On a rainy day, we found ourselves craving pho, and this hidden gem was just the spot! The map led us to the back, but it’s actually located towards the front, right by Suzie's and the vape shop. The food was absolutely ono—really delicious! The restaurant itself is quite small, but the service was quick and efficient. The only downside was that the restroom could have been cleaner. Despite that, we had a great experience and will definitely return!“

“We recently dined at Phở Minh Thư and had a fantastic experience! We ordered two special phở and the spring rolls with grilled pork, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. The phở had a rich and flavorful broth, and the portions were generous. The spring rolls were fresh and packed with delicious ingredients.

The food was not only delicious but also great value for the portion sizes. We will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend Phở Minh Thư for anyone craving authentic and tasty Vietnamese food.“

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

“Smaller neighborhood favorite restaurant. This shopping center is always busy so parking is hard to find you should call ahead for takeout because everything is made fresh and they're always busy. They have two benches that run along the length of the restaurant with tables at seat four at a time if you get takeout, I recommend reheating the soup so it's hot hot and can cook your raw steak. I love to mix hoisin sauce and Sriracha into my broth to enhance the flavors to my liking. The broth alone is very clean and flavorful.

Vegetarian options: Few options: Veggie pho and veggie rolls, plus i think the dessert and drinks are veggie.

Parking: Lots of businesses use this parking lot and there's often cars circling.

Kid-friendliness: There is no kid menu if you order a small there will be definitely leftovers.“

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

“By any chance, if there are any Koreans who stop by here while passing by, please go!

This place is run by a really nice owner.

I packed takeout to eat at my accommodation, but you can also eat it at the night market right in front!

I felt bad because of the homeless people in the dark streets around me, but thanks to the owner, I was able to enter the accommodation comfortably.

President, thank you again for your hospitality.“

“I got number 28 (beef, flank, tendon, tripe pho) and I thoroughly enjoyed and chowed down on that large bowl. Their portions are pretty big, with the additional garnishes. Their broth is pretty good by itself, but I love to add some spice/sauce. Service was quick and efficient, the interior was nice and giving hole-in-the-wall, and parking was relatively easy to find (limited spots tho). The next time I go there, I wanna try some non-pho items on their menu :))“

“This is my second pho experience in the district and I can 100% this one was best so far. I really enjoyed the broth and the beef was very fresh. The greens were also bright and crisp. Amazing service, definitely will come back. The pho was amazing! Note that they recently had a name change to golden river, same owner/staff. The place can be empty at times but I think it’s because the lunch crowds eats fast.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this place! amazing food and service!“

“Good food, quite busy. One of our group had multiple allergies and they were able to advise which dishes was suitable for him. Highly recommended.

Dietary restrictions: Allergy friendly, menu listed ingredients so we could select allergy friendly dishes.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Ha Long Pho is one of my "go to" stops when I'm home...and as always, the ono grindz did not disappoint!!! Summer Rolls: Very large!!! I don't remember them being as full as they were today...not sure if it was a mistake, or a new recipe. As I remember it was so fresh filled with crispy veggies!!! Definitely a 10/10!!! Seafood Pho: When it's an option, I always order seafood Pho! For those of you who know how to eat Pho, you know that beef broth is a must, no matter what style Pho you order. Most places I have to ask for beef broth as it often comes with a vegetable broth...but here, it automatically comes with beef broth. And the seafood was not chewy. I would have loved to see some other seafood represented (it only had fishcake balls and shrimp) but it didn't take away from the healthy portion and umami flavor!!! 9/10 (Only because of the variety of seafood.) COVID Protocols: I felt very comfortable at Ha Long Pho, they require proof of vaccine, or negative COVID test, to enter...and...instead of your spices being left on the table, they are pulled after each guest, I can only assume to sanitize before the next guest uses it. 10/10 for sanitation and safety!!!“

“I always get the lettuce wraps, that’s my favorite and they give you plenty 💕🌹“

“Family likes to get take out from this place so I don't have an opinion on the atmosphere. However, I was surprised when my mom said she didn't see many people in there bc the workers are always so nice and the food is both 1. delicious & 2. generous in it's portions.
recommend the oxtail & regular pho, alongside the lemongrass chicken on rice noodles.

Parking: take a friend if getting take out so that you don't have to worry about parking“

“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.“
