41 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Honolulu

“Unbelievably good food for a great price and the best service regardless of language barriers. And the Vietnamese Iced Coffee was the richest best version of the drink we've had anywhere. And those fresh rolls were absolutely stunning.“

“Authentic Vietnamese dishes. The Bun Bo Hue is amazing! The broth is deeper, rich and unreal and the spicy level is agressive enough but not overpowering. Fully loaded with meat, generous portion size. The herbs are so fresh. Love the service and quick and warm. They treat you like family. This is the place for an authentic Vietnamese food.“

“The Best! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌴 Vietnamese’s Crispy Chicken Wings With Lemon Wedges, Salt Pepper, Sautéed Onions On Top! Are My Favorite Here, Always Great Food, Mommas Broths! & Open Until Midnight!!“

“Great Pho. Tasty and great service“

“The Vietnamese pancakes and iced coffee is a must try...“

“The only thing I didn’t like were the metal chairs and the noise. Service, food, and even the wait time were incredible. (We didn’t make a reservation and they still got us in quickly.“

“The Vietnamese pancakes and iced coffee is a must try...“

“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!“

“Good food. Great people. Been here 3 days straight for lunch because of my picky son. :-) And my Mom and Aunt are vegetarian. If you are here visiting and want good Vietnamese food. Give them a try.“

“My boyfriend (Drew) and I picked up dinner here last night and the BBQ beef sandwhich was amazing!!! We love how the spice of the sauce wasn't too spicy. The pickled daikon and carrots complimented the spice and the beef was cooked to perfection.

We were very surprised by the mung bean tapioca pudding. We were not expecting to like it. Overall, it was not too sweet and had a good flavor to compliment the BBQ Beef sandwhich.

Great spot for lunch or dinner! Fast & great service 🤙“

“I only come here for the Pho. The broth is not salty but savory. That's good because other Pho restaurants have you drinking 5 cups of water afterwards. portion size is mid with a few slices of meat and couple meatballs. The portion size will not satisfy a normal adult. I can't say that it's worth it to drop $18 and not be full. It is enough to satisfy the taste buds though.“

“Wow…we loved our meals. We stopped here by quickly on our way from Waikiki to the airport, and easily found street parking. The vermicelli bowls with lemongrass chicken & tofu (and a banh mi with pork + chicken) were so fresh, so filling, and really high quality. Delicious Vietnamese iced coffee. The service was kind, as well. Highly recommend for a relaxed & high quality meal!!“

“Very generous portion for the price. Pho soup came piping hot. The noodle was cooked perfectly al dente. The broth was not overly oily, great taste. Beef balls had great texture, not too soft not too chewy. Hu tieu was delicious with the fried garlic in the broth. Would definitely come back to try other menu!“

“Family owned and operated, excellent food; a classic, lowkey gem. I feel privileged to have been a customer for a long time. This local favorite spot for Vietnamese food is made with high quality ingredients and sends you home not just with the lovely flavors lingering but a sense of wellbeing. Nothing really warms you like a good pho some days; they take no shortcuts with the home made broth which as you know if you ever thought “oh I’ll just make that at home,” takes *all* *day* to make pho broth. )Some places, not naming names, take some easy shortcuts on the broth. It’s tasty but when you walk out, your body feels it differently. Bac nam makes their own from scratch and it is legit. Ono and much healthier (in my opinion.) Thank you Bac Nam!“

“Today I got to try their summer rolls & shredded chicken sandwich and they were great. It really seemed like a healthy food and I really felt clean and nice after eating such healthy food. Also, the service was very friendly and helpful.“

“Pho broth is really good 👍“

“Friendly and good service! Delicious oxtail soup!“

“We came here because it looked just like our favorite neighborhood pho spots in Los Angeles and that’s exactly what we got. Grandkids running around quietly playing, family run shop, and a really clean broth. Super fresh aromatics and greens. Just what we needed after a day in the water. And we ordered some banh mi sandwiches to go to tak to the beach with us the next day. Kept them in our hotel room fridge. Will for sure come back.“

“I'm vegetarian and they accommodated my dietary restriction. They made a bowl of vegetarian salad with vermicelli and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you BR!“

“Had so many of my local friends recommend this place. Cozy, older, friendly, hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I got take out on a rainy day and got the #11 + Thai iced tea (delicious and not crazy sweet). Price is very good & the broth!! The broth was so comforting, aromatic, with a touch of sweetness. I always take note of pho restaurant’s chili oil sate and this one’s had a really good kick! Will definitely be back!“

“This is my first visit at this Vietnamese Restaurant and I must say it was excellent. I went at around 0930, it was empty excep for two tables occupied. I was welcomed and greeted as i sat down. The dining area is clean, basic set up and minimal decor with a very low Vietnamese music coming out of the speakers. I can smell the aroma of deliciosness coming out of the kitchen. As i browse at the menu, I see that they offer Bun Bo Hue and Crab Meat Noodle soup which I wanted to try. But of course I went for my go to Pho Duc Biet, Combination Pho and the Spring Rolls and of course Iced Vietnamese Coffee.

The Large Combination Pho came out piping hot. The broth is clear, with enough fatty goodness and flavorful. A very well rounded broth, one of the best one in the island. Beefy and spices not overpowering at all and not too sweet. Very generous amount of meat toppings. The rice noodles are of perfect ratio to the broth and perfectly cooked. The herbs toppings are fresh and generous. I also love that they have chili oil available. The Spring Rolls was just okay. Smaller serving, and it tasted frozen and one was burn on one end. Next skip it and try something else. Minus 1 STAR.

Overall, food was authentic and great experience. Pho is the star of the show. One of the best I've had in Honolulu. I can wait to go back and try other dishes.“

“Best broth. Clear. I order the brisket and iced coffee. ONO ! Bean sprouts very clean.“

“Love this place! amazing food and service!“

“Was going to Pate , a banh mi place across the alley -- been going there a while and they are good and popular but always full of-- small space , often a wait at lunch or other. Happened upon this place and no line. Fantastic banh mi -- I got the crispy pork--great bread--some of the best I have had--, tasty pork with a sauce and lots of cilantro and other fillings. Be sure to check them out.“

“Great spot for quick healthy food! All the herbs in my spring roll were bright and fresh. The peanut sauce thay came with was delicious and not greasy or oily, just right!

I had a drink with my bao bun and it was a perfect pair! Great fresh custom bao stuffed with veggies and choice of protein.

I inhaled both of those dishes and didnt get pictures. I do have this tofu papaya salad in the fridge waiting for me, ill definitly be back!

Thanks again!“

“Food was very good. Fresh. Lots of bean sprouts, basil, Vietnamese lettuce. Had the summer (tofu) fresh rolls with peanut sauce and Pho Tai. Love Pho, I've eaten around the world including Vietnam and top Pho places in Toronto and this unassuming place was exceptional.“

“No frills Vietnamese food in a small but comfortable space on the edge of Chinatown.... The food was very fresh and authentic. Run by a local couple/family, the service was very hospitable... Prices very fair. The Vietnamese coffee was traditional slow drip and delicious. Ordered the banh mi sandwich and it was also a star... The bread was fresh baked, and had the perfect texture and softness on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the crust. Definitely recommended.“

“My Vietnamese friend suggested that we order the Super Pho Seven Courses of Beef at her favorite Vietnamese restaurant. It had a good variety of beef prepared in different ways. My favorite was the Lemon Beef Salad that we rolled up into rice paper and dipped into a delicious sauce. This restaurant not only has the best tasting food, they have the largest menu with over 100 authentic dishes. On Tuesday I ate at Broken Rice and last night I ate at Hale Vietnam, so that's 3 different Vietnamese restaurants in 3 days in a 2 block radius. This one is the only one that I ***** Highly Recommended!*****“

“We LOVE PHO NINA 💗👌🏼 this place is a 🔟 to ten and 💯 recommended 🥬 food was fresh and Mister Nina (the one who was our server and host) was friendly and kind. We felt like we are in VIETNAM 🇻🇳 mahalo 😌🤙🏻 we will comeback“

“Amazing Vietnamese food truck with an extensive menu!

I came across this food truck the other night with a hankering for Pho. As I approached, I could see a huge photo collage of most of the dishes served. A very nice woman at the counter took my order, of which I went for the Oxtail Pho and a Pineapple Sugar Cane drink.

After paying, I went to pick a table. Within 8 minutes the food arrived at the table and it smelled wonderful. First off, I’ve never had oxtail pho before… love oxtail, love pho, so perfect combo! The broth was delicious and the pho was fantastic! The only thing I’d say is that the portion was a bit small for Hawaiian and Vietnamese standards.

As for the ambiance, it’s very casual with a street food scene vibe that I was digging! There’s ample parking as well.

Next time I’d like to try the pork rice plate and the snails. If you’ve got a craving for Vietnamese food, this spot is worth trying!“

“Stadium Pho has been our family’s go-to takeout spot for years and years. Honestly one of the only places my husband, kids, and I all consistently agree on and love 😭

The food is always so flavorful, fresh, comforting, and consistently delicious every single time. We order from here constantly and somehow they have NEVER messed up our order, which honestly feels like a miracle considering we usually have at least a few modifications because of the kids lol.

Everything is always fast, accurate, and made with so much care. The staff is also incredibly kind every time we interact with them.

It’s one of those places that just becomes part of your family routine because it’s that reliable and good. We recommend it to everyone.“

“The food is amazing and the service is always with Aloha 🥰“

“The menu features many delicious dishes, with Pho and Bu’n being my personal favorites. Don't forget to try the yogurt, flan, and fresh sugarcane juice—they are the perfect way to finish off your meal. It is well worth a visit if you are looking for genuine Vietnamese flavors.“

“Kim, Kevin, and the tasty food keep us returning. The only suggestion we would offer is that the food for the plate lunches be kept consistently on a food warmer that's turned on, rather than giving it an appearance that the food is heated.“

“Wonderful hospitality!! And always delicious. 😍 Always a must stop when we are in town. Plus the atmosphere is great as well.“

“I ordered some sort of beef pho, sadly, I cannot remember the name, but it was very tasty. I was feeling a little under the weather and this broth hit the SPOT. On top of that, they gave a generous amount of bean sprouts and thai basil which while I guess some might say it what every pho place does. This one gives a whole lot. Perfect for a sick guy to feel healthy again. The plum sauce they gave was also very nice to mix with the broth and the meatballs they gave were perfect. I would go again every single day when I'm sick if I could and honestly I think the food itself cured my illness more quickly than it would normally take me. My one regret from that day is that I hadn't felt healthy enough to eat inside. The dine in tables looked so nice and the warm lights made me feel as if I was in a nice inviting joint.“

“This is your get yelled at by an auntie good old school pho joint. The pho is good, bun rieu is good. Flavors are full of spice depth. Also some great spice sauce options on the table. Good quantities provided on the noodle soups as well.
Located right next to ala moana and wash parking lot.“

“I found this restaurant by chance. I was taking my son to a tuxedo fitting at Men's Warehouse right next door when I noticed this gem. The food here has great flavor and definitely does not feel like something that was rushed, but actually made with care for the presentation and flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed and clean. We ordered the regular pho, Bun Bo Hue, and steamed lemongrass clams (thai chili). Again, great flavor, fresh garnished and would definitely recommend for anyone in the mood for some great Vietnamese cuisine!“

“Amazing Vietnamese iced coffee, suggestion for the owner, you should have a big sign in the window that advertises your amazing Vietnamese iced coffee so that people in the morning on their way to work have an alternate option to the two cafés on the same block that are always packed“
