Lots of pluses and minuses here: FOOD: beef broth is superlative, serving generous, side veggies (mint, sprouts, lime) fresh. But: Meatballs small and rubbery; beef round no flavor: flank steak tasted OFF; hot chili oil tasted burnt and acrid; noodles were ok but nothing to remark on. SERVICE: I got lucky, walked in when a table was open and was immediately seated by a courteous, efficient young woman who got me ice water and meal quickly. But then she went on break and over the next half hour I observed very ugly service: incoming customers crowded at the door not being helped or even acknowledged, tables not being cleared, some customers gave up and left, others had to get up and flag down help to order. I cannot recommend this place to friends in case they get the same treatment. ATMOSPHERE: loved the quiet, simple decor (it's all white inside now) and easy street parking (this was lunchtime on a Monday). However, had to walk around two vagrants camped on the sidewalk to get to the door. Not someplace to take your mother. Summary: $16 for a mediocre meal.

Place has great food. It's the waiter is so horrible! The young skinny girl. For the second time I went and really make you feel bad about yourself asking simple questions. I will not be going back to this restaurant anymore.

I've had a bad cold for about a week and I ordered the Pho soup (white meat, all veggies no noodles) It was soooooo delicious and EXACTLY what I needed while nursing this illness. 10/10! Highly recommend! Worth the effort to find parking - Located BEHIND Pineapples Fresh Island Cuisine in downtown Hilo.

It's been over 12 years and Pho Viet has been consistently delicious and the same all around. Understandably their prices have increased considering the times, yes? Wonderful to support our local family businesses. Thank you, Phi Viet!

Great food! Great service! Recommend trying the rare beef pho and grilled pork bahn-mi! So Tasty!
I had heard that this place has some of the best beef pho around and they did not disappoint! Super flavorful, great selection of Vietnamese dishes, including some rice dishes. We also tried the lemongrass chicken banh mi. The bread is fantastic. The sandwich could use more veggies and mint but it was flavorful. Definitely going back.
