Had a misunderstanding with the young man taking the order but he and the older gentleman remedied the situation very well. Food was excellent. The grilled shrimp is fantastic. Overall... great find!Parking: Wide open mini strip mall type location with outdoor seating under roof. No real view to speak of but nice nevertheless.

We visited here tonight after a long day of driving from Kona to Hilo and back. It was such a treat! The pho broth was so tasty, clean and left that great lip smack that tells of a well made broth. They provided the perfect amount of toppings to go with the soup, the service was great, and the establishment was very clean and inviting. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the mood for Vietnamese cuisine.

I search everywhere for a good bowl of Pho. I tried this place twice in the last twelve months.. The soup is not up to my standard. The real Vietnamese Pho broth is made with bones simmered all day. This soup is weak but very salty. I felt very tired afterwards therefore it might have MSG or other flavor enhancer. The waiter was not helpful. I asked for lettuce and he replied, "No lettuce with Pho. I gave you basil." He could have said, "I can bring a plate of lettuce for x amount of dollar." I ordered Pho with Beef Balls and Soft Tendon. There are 5 pcs of beef balls. Each one was cut in half but the beef tendon was very tough. I would have cooked that for another 2 hours. I am not going back.

It's an older building, but is stays busy for a reason. The food is great. I had Pho with brisket and flank, I ate and drank every bit. We'll be back next trip.Parking: It's in a strip mall with plenty of parking.

As a Vietnamese family we had reached that point in our trip where we needed some Vietnamese food, and this seemed to be the only place open on Sunday. I don’t think the owners and staff are Vietnamese, possibly Chinese. The pho was only ok quality, but we were all fairly satisfied with our meals. Beef in the pho tai (rare beef pho) was overcooked. Broth was ok, not great. Prices were more than the mainland for sure, but on par with what we expect for Hawaii.

Really small family-owned place in a little strip center in Kona. But, the pho is outstanding, the service is good, and the restaurant was very clean. The BEST place for great pho on Kona, BY FAR!

Best pho and spring rolls in town! The service is great, it's not expensive and the food is incredible. A great local treat.
