My wife and I came here 6 years ago and the quality is just as good as last time. The broth is very delicious, no MSG or other additives, just beef broth and aromatics. As someone who has been to Vietnam and had authentic Pho and Vietnamese food, the combination of Pho, Vietnamese Coffee, and the lovely family working there made me feel like I was back in Vietnam. We absolutely love it here!

Delicious probably some of the best Pho I've had. The owner was very sweet and the food was amazing. Highly recommend, the atmosphere was very basic but exactly the whole in the wall you'd want in a Pho restaurant.

The soup is amazing, real broth and homemade. I can't believe it took me this long to find it. I highly recommend! Owners are very sweet and nice.

I loooooved ripple of smiles. so delish and fresh. i've been trying to find a new pho place that is even close to as good as them that delivers. this was not it. broth was not very flavorful. the vermicelli noodles with shrimp were just kinda weird and okay. hopefully i'll find a replacement someday!

So, I wanted to try this restaurant since yelp says they're open until 10, but the paper sign on the door says they close at 9pm. We sat down just before 8pm and enjoyed our food anyway but heads up for others looking for a late dinner! We parked at safeway and dined in, its a small hole in the wall type restaurant so not a ton of seating but no crowds on a weekday night. Looks pretty old from the faded sign but the inside is nice and clean. Service was also pretty good, the ladies working were nice and the food came out fairly quick, so we had plenty of time to eat. Thai tea was strong and just the right amount of sweetness. If thats how the drinks are, I'll come back just to try the coffee too. Spring rolls - I had them a long time ago and they were as tasty as I recall. They use a rice paper wrapper that's more crunchy than crispy and doesnt taste as oily as the eggroll wrappers. Delicious filling, nice and meaty. Side note--the lettuce wraps are cut so neatly too, its really convenient lol Papaya salad with tofu had a nice kick to it! Love the crunchy fried scallion on top. The springroll sauce didnt have any chili in it, so this balanced it out pretty well. I got lemongrass chicken vermicelli. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. With the sauce it was a little soupier than most places and also served warm instead of cold. Gf got the lemongrass beef rice, super tender marinated beef. She cleaned that plate. At the end we were stuffed and I had to get a takeout box for our leftovers. The prices are pretty reasonable too. We'll try the pho next time.

We happened to stumble across Pho Kapahulu last month and we absolutely love it. This is our third visit and it's still amazing. The food is very good and fairly fast.
Its great. A place you would never notice. Tucked away in a small spot just down the street from Safeway. Great home style Vietnamese chow at fair prices.
Pho Kapahulu is a small but great estalishment. I usually order takeout and ordered their spring roll plate very impressed with the vegetables, noodles and spring rolls were fabulous. If you get a chance to eat there try it price is reasonable and the family that owns the place is soooo nice. Take care and good eats.
