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!

This time, I realized that there are a lot more Vietnamese restaurants in Waikiki.I visited this restaurant in 2017 and it was very delicious, so I decided to try it again this time (2024) and took the bus to Chinatown.The pho at this restaurant is a refreshing and very delicious soup. The more I drink it, the more I am impressed by the depth of the flavor.I was happy that the taste remained the same.I wanted to try Banh Mi again during my stay, but that didn't happen.Please come next time.

Pho and fried rice are both delicious. Gentle seasoning. It's family-run, so it has a very calm atmosphere.
It's just a short walk from the plaza's multi-storey parking lot.

Wednesday I came with family .Service was good Pho are delicious !

Located in Chinatown. It's a pain to find a place to park, but the food is pretty good.

Was a great service

Classic Vietnamese restaurant !

Not too busy but good Bun Boo Wee ?

First time to this place and I will definitely be back! The restaurant is very clean. I had the combo pho and papaya salad. The meat and papaya strips were very tender, more tender than other places. The broth for the pho was on the lighter side where you could taste the ingredients. No need for Sriracha or hoisin to add flavor. The marinade for the papaya salad was light and tasty. Definitely a place for good pho.The downside to this place is the area. It is on the sketchy side with street people meandering about. Street parking is a little shocking as $.25 gets you 6 minutes?

What a fantastic find. Seen this place for a while, but never went in. I think because they don't post the menu in the window, it kept me from trying it. Actually only ended up there because the place I wanted to go to was closed and the other place next to it looked to dingy, so since we were there, took a chance. It was well worth the chance.The place is fresh and well kept. Even the menus looked in pristine condition. On top of that, everyone working there were friendly and engaging. Cuu Long II is defiantly not like other Vietnamese restaurants as far as what I just described.We ordered their Green Papaya salad, Beef Ball Pho, and Spicy Seafood Soup with Thick Vermicelli. All were fantastic.Their Green Papaya salad was beautifully plated and not drowning in dressing. The layout of the shrimp and the thin pork slices were delicately placed on top of the fresh shredded green papaya and nice amount of basil at the top to allow you to disperse it to your liking versus just all mixed in together like most other Vietnamese restaurants do. Our server brought over some homemade hot sauce to add and it was just amazing. You really could tell that it was homemade and was the perfect addition to kick up the salad a notch. Apparently they even sell it bottled to go.The Beef Ball Pho was a medium, but was very generous with the amount of beef balls added to the broth. The broth already had herbs and other greens added to it for a perfect ready to eat soup. I think even the most pickiest of eaters would have enjoyed this soup.With the Spicy Seafood Soup with Thick Vermicelli, it was spicy. Not rocket ship spicy, but I defiantly didn't need to add any more heat to it. However, I did add some fresh sliced jalapeños to it for a little more kick and flavor enhancement. Lots of shrimp and fish balls in it and the right balance of noodles.Everything was great there and I highly recommend it to try!
