Overall, I'd come back in a pinch, but would try other places first to see if there is better.
Three phos, one chicken pho. Pho broth is boss. Not too salty or fatty. Right on the mark. You will leave satisfied and not overly fully.
The chicken pho though? Unique, but not necessarily in good way. Had a significant fish sauce or a canh cua/sweet & sour taste. Not necessarily bad. Was not what was expected and, thus, not finished.

I give 2 stars because how they charge my tip. I ordered take out and only put down ~$5 as tip. Review my receipt through Square. I see they charged $10 tip even though my bill was only $39.79. Remember to review your receipt through Square before you leave this restaurant.
Updated: I am raising the review to 5 stars after the prompt response from owner. My review will be mainly about the food quality. Very good food at decent price.

I came here based on positive vegan reviews, but was really let down. The food tasted bland and didn’t seem fresh, and the restaurant itself didn’t feel clean or sanitary.

Good food!

The pho, vermicelli bowl, and banh mi are solid. Ask them about vegan stuff, they’re good about questions even though the menu isn’t detailed about it.

Came to visit Hilo with the family, and this restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and the owner came to greet us and made it feel like a home cooked meal. Thank you for the amazing food and your hospitality
Delicious pho with large portions. The spring rolls with peanut sauce are great; just ask to have them made with tofu. Servers are vegan-aware and can show you how menu items can be made vegan, if you ask.
EDIT: fried tofu is not vegan at this point, due to the batter! double check with your server when ordering

Lunch restaurant on the Big Island one-day tour. The food itself is 3 points. However, this is not a place to eat after taking a 10-hour plane ride to the Big Island of Hawaii (probably due to the economic logic of travel agencies and guides).
Basically, this restaurant is unconvincing considering the economic power of people who come to Hawaii. A better option would be for the tour company to raise the price and go to a better restaurant, or to let people eat on their own. The Subway next door is delicious.

The rice noodles are too salty and the yuringi are too hard.
