Ordered the grilled pork banh mi.. so yummy! Bread was warm, soft, and fluffy, the grilled pork was delectable. It was tender and easy to chew. Definitely give it a try! Place is small, so be prepared to wait if there's a queue as there're only about 6 tables. Ice water is complimentary and there's a 3% surcharge if you're paying by credit card.

I may have found a new favorite. This Vietnamese restaurant specializes in Hu Tieu-style pho. The noodles and other condiments are served in a bowl and the broth is on the side. Great flavors overall. All are fresh and of high quality.This is a small restaurant, always busy so be prepared to wait. I say it's worth the wait.Parking: The parking spaces are so compact.

This establishment has ascended to the pinnacle of my Bun Bo Hue rankings! Hailing from Portland, Oregon, I've tasted my fair share of this dish across the city, and I can confidently declare that none compare to this. What sets them apart is their meticulous attention to the temperature, ingredients, and the depth of flavor they achieve. Additionally, the vegetables served alongside are incredibly fresh, enhancing the overall dining experience. Moreover, it not only rivals the best of California's pho but may also be the best meal I've tried in Hawaii! A must-visit for anyone in search of authentic Bun Bo Hue!!!Also, I'm puzzled by complaints about wait times. A longer wait usually signals great food, showing that dishes are made with dedication. It's unfair to mark down a place for its commitment to quality. Good things take time, and this spot's excellence is worth the wait.

The food is amazing, and so is the service! The dried noodles with the roast pork... so good! And the garlic wings too! Highly recommend this place!

This is probably my new favorite place for a seafood phõ as it is so flavorful. Also my kid said their bahn mi is the best yet. This place is tucked away across Walmart on Keeaumoku. It gets busy and has limited dining times. We were very fortunate to be the last on the list and they waited to serve us despite the restaurant closing. This place is small and quaint- eat and leave so others can enjoy too! We will definitely be returning.Parking: get validation

Good foods and good stuffs. Bún bò Huế very good I ordered twice a week. Next time I will try to order dry noodles. I strongly recommend for this place if you want Vietnamese foods around the town area

First noticed this place when walking down keeaumoku with my wife and we saw a huge line of people. Came back a few days later when there was no line. Got seated right away in this little shop that has maybe 4-5 tables max inside. Staff was super nice and friendly and explained that business had been blowing up recently because of someone's review on Instagram or whatever. I ordered the combo pho and my wife got some summer rolls as she wasn't too hungry. Everything was delicious. The soup for the pho had excellent flavor and came with all the usual vegetable accoutrements. The summer rolls were super fresh and the peanut sauce that came with it was very tasty. Would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good bowl of pho. Definitely need to come back and try out the rest of the stuff on the menu.

A hidden gem. This place deserves all the love! I first heard about this place while scrolling on a foodie's page. Since I was in the area, I decided to check it out for my last meal in Hawaii! It's located in a small strip plaza (not too far from Al Moana Center). Parking can be kinda tight. Luckily, I walked here so I didn't have to deal with that. Upon entry, I was able to snag the last table of 5! Yes, only 5 tables inside this tiny restaurant. Service was super fast and staff were so welcoming. I felt like I was home or at a family's house. Menu is easy to read and understand. I got the Hu tieu egg noodles with roasted pork and extra wontons. The broth had bits of garlic and paired well with the noodles. Generous portions and such a satisfying meal. 5/5 would recommend!!

Only about 5 tables but my party of 3 came for lunch and was able to put our names down and we waited about 15-20 minutes. The food was delicious and the staff were really nice and also gave suggestions to our orders. I ordered the Egg roll Lemon Grass vermicelli noodles which was delicious and also huge portions. My partner ordered the Egg Noodles with Roasted Pork dry style with broth on the side and the pork was crispy noodles were flavored well. I will have to try the rolls and wings next time! Would definitely recommend!
Patê Vietnamese Cuisine is like a hidden treasure I'm almost reluctant to share - its coziness is both its charm and its challenge. Tucked across from Wal-Mart in Honolulu, this small, likely family-run Vietnamese spot often has a line out the door, a testament to its allure. My ritual here is like a sacred food dance: Egg Noodle, Roasted Pork, Dried Style - a combo that catapults me back to the vibrant streets of Vietnam. It's not just a meal; it's a time machine, awakening forgotten memories with each mouthful. The flavors don't just tantalize the tastebuds; they deliver a nostalgic punch that resonates with every fiber of my being. Yes, it's that phenomenal. Each visit poses the same delicious dilemma: venture into new culinary territories or stick with the tried-and-true bowl that never fails to amaze? And let's not forget about their Vietnamese coffee - it's the kind of slap you want to wake up to. Powerful, aromatic, and unapologetically bold. In short, Patê Vietnamese Cuisine is a must-visit, but maybe let's keep it our little secret, okay?

This place is good. If you like pho it ranks quite high. It is a big bowl of pho and I was full eating only half. But you know it's good when you are full and still want to eat more. The seating is very limited but it is a bright interior, was going to take a star off for the bug that was on our table but the service made up for it two fold. Was very happy with the service. We even forgot some of our things and the waitress came running out to return it to us. We live close by so this will be our new go to spot.

The Best pho l ever had service it's also good l will come in back my wife and daughter Love it too

I can't say more than what I have already said before!! Hands down as one of my favorite pho restaurant on the island!! The staff is really nice and friendly and the food is always just as delicious as the first time I had it! Perfect place for lunch or dinner and I would highly recommend coming with a friend or your significant other! Family I would say can do as well but make sure to call them ahead of time if you have a big party that's more than 6 people. The inside seating is on the smaller side but I honestly think it is a perfect size as well. Very homey feel and the interior is nice and bright! If you're not able to dine in, you could also call to order take out and pick it up or order through UberEats or DoorDash as well!! Since I crave for good pho but can't go all the way to Keeaumoku to get lunch, I would often use one of those apps to get my cravings fixed from Pate!!! So if you haven't tried this place yet, I definitely would recommend!!!!
