No gimmicks, just delicious food made with love. Lots of menu options not commonly seen at other Vietnamese places on the island. Food felt healthy and nourishing. We had the lotus root salad, lemongrass chicken, and steamed dumplings, all were delicious and can't wait to return to try more dishes! I'm only sad that I didn't discover it sooner.

This unassuming restaurant boasts overall good Vietnamese food and decent prices compared to other VN restaurants. Service is friendly and helpful.

We liked the appetizers the best, especially the Stuffed Fried Chicken Wings and Green Papaya Salad. Pho is also very good with a decent broth, accompanied by plentiful basil and sawtooth herbs. Portions are large and should be shared.

Street parking is free after 6 pm, and there's also parking behind the restaurant.

Good location,service is average,food average. I asked well done steak pho and they brought medium rare steak pho. I go many pho restaurants and good thing about this restaurant is location. Ac was poor inside restaurant and when too many people inside it is hard to breath.

This place is pretty expensive for what it offers. One summer roll is $4.25, which already feels steep. My biggest issue, though, is the curry pricing. The curry is their most popular item, yet you have to pay an extra $3 just to get rice or bread. So without that, you’re essentially paying to eat curry sauce by itself—which doesn’t really make sense. It would make much more sense to price the dish slightly higher and just include the rice or bread.

That said, the chicken curry itself was good. Unfortunately, the rare steak pho was underwhelming.

Much better spicing than decor. Plain storefront, but very nicely balanced spicing

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!

This place is out of this world. Its like being in my motherinlaw’s house. It’s relaxed atmosphere and damn good food keeps me going back. I ate here at least 3xs a week for 8 months. Its on of the best places on Honolulu to eat. My favorite thing on the menu is everything on it. The people are beautiful and kind

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.

Nice establishment, customer service is good and friendly. The food is delicious and prices are very reasonable compared to other Vietnamese establishments. The owner and chef of Fete suggested we try this place, so if that's any indication of the quality of food, don't hesitate trying this place.
