This is our go to for Beef Pho and Vegetable Pho. Broth so tasty and love the fresh veggies. Everytime food is consistent and delicious. It is a family ran business and the owners are so nice and have great customer experience everytime I go and we have been going for a couple years now. Got to check it out.
Amazingly good food in a cosy, charming and peaceful atmosphere. Old-school classic. Delightful, personable service at this tiny & tidy Vietnamese restaurant.
I loved my clean & flavourful sour soup with perfectly cooked shrimps (canh chua tom), and my dining companion wanted to (but didn’t) drink the sauce that enrobed her peanut curry (spice at a minimal level) with beef. Both dishes came with rice and were perfectly as requested.
The pho was excellent and delicious. The staff are kind and like family. I will definitely eat there again.
We’ve tried pho in several places in the area and this one is the best. Service was great, made you feel like you were eating at your families house. The service was great! The pho was delicious as well. Highly recommended.
Great food overall, had the spring rolls and a bowl of pho with rare beef and brisket. Unfortunately, the brisket must have been a day old and stored on the fridge, as it had a bad taste that comes from unsealed fridge storage. The broth, noodles and rare beef were super, so I would go back and order just the rare beef.
The ladies working here were really sweet, with genuine interest to know more about you. The shop is a bit more rustic/spartan but it’s an experience in its own. I ordered the oxtail pho and the value was amazing for how much I was given. I also ordered the chicken/eggplant peanut curry for takeaway and it was delicious that I could eat it every day.
It really is a cozy place, the lady is like family and very helpful. The food is very delicious and has very good prices for most establishments. I sincerely recommend that you try this site.
Don't go if you're after atmosphere and tourist town food. DO EAT here if you're a foodie after the real real. The dine-in is small and clean. Wear shorts, t-shirt and flips as there was no A/C. However, the food is real real sick delicious yum, and that trumps everything. The owners are sweet, and know they're serving up the real real. Again, don't go if your after tourist town food. DO EAT here if you're a foodie after the real real. The hater reviews make no sense because the food is real. I cannot wait to eat here again on my next escape. See you soon!
Had a good lunch Labor Day(9/4/23) at this quaint place where two little old cheerful Vietnamese ladies were very kind & attentive to me & my husband.
We were directed to sit at a table & immediately they welcomed us as if we were coming into their very own home! The atmosphere is definitely dry homey as you’ll see no fuss or frills apart from some nice simple wall decor & some of the special menus they offer. One of the aunties pointed out their special local egg rolls which we definitely tried 7 was delicious!
I ordered the beef stew w/ rice noodles (Bun Bo Kho) & my husband ordered the Chicken pho (pho Ga) and they were really well made w/ good seasoning & flavor, not too salty but rich in goodness! Of course we also ordered a pork sandwich (Bun mi) cause the broth of the beef stew was so good to have with it.
After we were stuffed the aunties even brought over a couple of complimentary pastry desserts, they were tasty too! A good way to round out the savory meal we had. The value for your money goes a long way specially here in Honolulu, away from the tourist hubbub. Supporting local places like these which are a neighborhood treasure for visitors slowly turning locals like us always makes us feel the spirit of Aloha which is plentiful in this Island of Oahu. Mahalo for reading this far & if you wanna go out & try something a little more authentic w/ a local flare, definitely come visit this place.
Pro-tip - we read from another review that if you don’t find parking along the streets, you can park at Safeway & jaunt on to this little place.
One of my favorite hidden gems in Honolulu, though its ambiance and utilization of fans rather than AC might trick you into thinking you’re in Ho Chi Minh City. The service is wonderful, the prices are hard to beat ($12 for a bowl of pho) and, most importantly, the pho is delicious. I always leave Pho Kapahulu feeling full and happy.
