Yellow curry
Amanda K.

This place is our go to spot. Love that they are open so late and man are they busy a lot of the time. Probably because they are the only place open so late. The way you order inside is by writing down what you want on a post it and handing it to the guy. We usually call our order in because it gets so busy. Anytime we are craving pho we always come here and it hits the spot every time. The chicken wings are the BOMB and are a must. Spring rolls are fat and filled with meat so good. The pad thai is a bit saucey and sweet but still good. The BBQ chicken is more like char sui. The man that works there is always so sweet.

Summer rolls!
Allison M.

Always consistently delicious; crispy spring rolls, and fresh summer rolls... I've tried their pad thai, lemongrass Tofu vermicelli, and my boyfriend loves their lemongrass chicken vermicelli plate ... I have been loving their tofu bahn mi sandwich recently. They are very kind people. They have wonderful tapioca puddings too. The one we have tried has big chunks of taro in it!! I love it here!!

I absolutely love this place! Everything I've tried, I loved! Their pho tastes like it was made with love! Their bun bo hue, bun rieu,lemon beef salad- all bomb. And don't skip on their chicken wings... best ones on the island in my humble opinion. They even do vegetarian dishes amazingly... their veggie pho is good and their eggplant mushroom tofu stir fry, I could drink the sauce it's so good! Even their tapioca is good! I like how it's a family run business. This place needs to stay open forever!

Check out my photos for updated pictures of the actual sign for the restaurant. On my first visit, I had difficulty finding the restaurant. I had searched previous Yelp photos of the establishment, so I was on the lookout for specific signage, but it does not look like that anymore. Service is friendly. Everything is take out only and prices are affordable. They do not accept American Express.

I Heart Aloha Vietnamese Foods! What a lifesaver! I had just finished working First Friday, and I was hot, dirty, and hungry. I didn't want to sit down and eat, and Zippy's was not appealing but a big bowl of pho was what I really wanted. Yelp "late night bites" and Aloha came up. Tucked away in an unassuming spot, it's take out only, which is great! Ordered #19 brisket and sirloin, XL! and #3 summer rolls. Couldn't wait to get back to my hotel. Everything was soooooo good and hit the spot! I am so glad there's places like this open late for takeout! Mahalo!

I always wanted to try here for lunch, but it was closed and only open for dinner. One day I sat in my car for a while after shopping thinking what I should get for dinner. It finally dawned on me that I've been wanting to try Aloha Vietnamese Foods' Fried chicken wings. My work friend would raved how her and boyfriend just love their crispy fried chicken wings and they liked it the best so it definitely piqued my interest. Asked Jolene L. and her daughter when we were dining at Pho Dynasty where else had good pho and her daughter mentioned Aloha Vietnamese. Jolene L. also mentioned how she liked their Fried chicken wings and the Lemon beef salad too! So Fried Chicken Wings and the Lemon Beef Salad it is! When I've arrived and was waiting, I decided to get the grilled pork sandwich too! I planned to share with mom, since she loves Vietnamese sandwiches. I saw the boiled peanuts sign and I couldn't resist buying a bag too! The boiled peanuts were simple and it seems to had a little salt taste. It was on the softer side than what I'm use to and usually like it a little on the crunchier side. It was a good price. The grilled pork sandwich was good but the crusty bread may make it difficult to bite into. My mom ate it later so I suggested to microwave it a bit. I did love the fried chicken wings and beef salad . I must say, they were right. The chicken was really crispy and not too oily with a good taste. It came with a container of salt and pepper and it could be a very thin layer of butter underneath? Their beef salad was delicious! Aloha Vietnamese Foods is open only for take out and for dinner. I read its own by a husband and wife. Wife does there cooking in the back and husband mentioned to me that before covid his wife had a health issue and they started to open later and later and now only for dinner. The husband who helped me was working so hard taking phone orders and calling them back when it's ready. So grateful they are still open so we can still get their yummy fried chicken wings and beef salad! Just read Peter Y's review and now I want to try the Casserole Pot Pork Belly & Beef Stew! Thank you! Support a local!

My new favorite pho place. Per chance we just happened to visit place as we were yelping the dessert shop next door. We were hungry and decided to try the food due to the large number of high yelp reviews. First off..there is no in door dining. Order your food and wait 15 minutes outside. The owner is very friendly and nice. The inside of the shop is basic however the smell of the soup permeates the store. We ordered beef pho and crispy spring rolls. The beef pho was hearty. The soup unexplainably rich and tasty. The offering was ample. The meats and vegetables all in one dish was so filling! The spring rolls were crispy. There was more than enough for my little family. Will definitely return! Looking forward to our next trip!!!

Hahahahah!!! I just realized I've been here a few times and have NEVER taken a picture of the food :-/ OMG! That's a super über rare thing as even if I do start before my phone I somehow capture it but something must've been in the noodles cause my hangry mood kicked it into a trance mode and I have no proof of my bliss. Located in Old Stadium Square parking is the biggest challenge as other businesses it shares with vs stall are sadly off kilter. Sadly and probably at its convenience it's take out only and has kept it's covid system exactly as is, no seating whatsoever with very minimalist decor it is best to call ahead since everything is made to order and does take awhile but is so worth the wait. Absolutely friendly staff always ready for any questions and are patient, as I do always get something veggie here he makes sure if egg or other items typically comes with the dish is acceptable for me which is great as I do have allergies and clarity is always gratefully appreciated. I always get the Pad Thai which isn't they dry type and is a bit more saucy but is just on point and delicious always...they do have a lot of signage which may seem extreme but knowledge is a wonderful thing and it's who doesn't like something that's freshly made. You know I gotta go back to show what keeps me coming back besides having some great late night hours (5pm to midnight) and are closed on Thursdays and I promise to let my phone eat first...lmao! Thank you!

Does the Banh Mi include pate?

Not 100% sure. But they are pretty legit as far as authentic Vietnamese food. This is not any fusion to adapt to a non traditional pallet. Chances are its yes.

Do they accept apple pay?

Yes!

Are they open for dining in now, or only takeout?

Takeout only.

Is the joint closed for renovations at the moment?

I don't know what they are closed for but they are closed for a long time..Sign on door says July-Oct. I looked in around noon time and saw no one but the 2 big A/Cs were on????

I came here maybe 5-6 years ago when they first opened, mainly to try their famous "flying…read morenoodles," which were such a trend back then. Honestly, everything was just okay--nothing really stood out to me--so we never came back. Over the years, though, I kept hearing friends talk about this place and say it was one of their favorite Chinese restaurants. I was still not convinced... and then my husband started hearing the same thing from more and more people. So, here I am, finally giving them another try! And WOW... the menu has changed and expanded so much since the last time I was here. There are so many more options now, and everything we ordered was flavorful and tasty. The portions are HUGE, and you can definitely tell they don't skimp on the ingredients, produce, or seasoning. We ordered the salted egg chicken wings and the stir-fried ong choy--both were really good! The drinks were also tasty, although they were a little not sweet enough for me, But I'd definitely order one again when I'm feeling healthier. Where have I been all these years?! ‍ This place has officially become one of my favorite spots for Chinese food. Sometimes you really do have to give a place a second chance!

Monthly special October 2026 with dining out coupon. 20% off. Sweet sour crispy spare rib. ($18.95…read moreregular price). Also ordered Brine Duck ($25.95). (5 spice)Both were really good. Located in Market city, near Foodland, Duck Lee, Tmobile. Parking stalls maybe tight and challenging during peak time. Would like to return for the beef brisket won ton noodle in soup and minute chicken cake noodle. Good portion for price. Highly recommend. No surcharge on charge cards

My friend has been raving about this noodle spot and even though she had it for lunch, when I asked…read moreher if she wanted to go here for dinner she was still in! It's street parking only on King Street but if you're lucky like us you can snag a metered parking spot right outside. It's a QR code menu and you order from your phone. I love a physical menu just as much as the next person, but with all the customizations you can make to the dishes- being able to select them on your phone just makes it so much easier. I went with the classic beef noodle soup, with a thick noodle. There was multiple different noodles to choose from but I think that this was the most classic for a beef noodle soup. The broth was really rich and clean (not spicy) and I loved the texture of the noodles. My friend ordered the dry mix noodle with pork and chickpeas in mixed sauce. She got it a regular spicy and it was just above my threshold for spice but so good. The texture of the chickpeas when it was mixed in made it creamy and so unique. Next time I'm going to try the dry noodle with mashed potatoes and beef.

We've ordered takeout for dinner from here a couple of times! There's usually street parking…read moreavailable along the street near their entrance, so it's not bad in terms of convenience and accessibility. They also seem to have renovated, with a much more spacious and modern interior. We've tried the Boiled Fish and Pickled Cabbage with rice, Wuwei Spicy Beef Noodle, and Fried Noodle (rice noodle). You get to choose what type of noodles you want. The first time, I ordered the Boiled Fish and asked for mild spice, but it was so spicy I could barely finish it and ended up just eating the fish and leaving the rest. Such a shame because I was craving those sour and spicy flavors and wanted to pair the soup with rice, but I definitely wasn't expecting the mild level to be THAT spicy. My bf, on the other hand, can handle really spicy food and ordered the spicy level for his beef noodles, but his wasn't that spicy at all. We wondered if the spice levels got mixed up, but I've seen other reviews mentioning that even the mild level for the Boiled Fish is really spicy, so maybe that's just how it is... The boiled fish soup was also oilier than what I've had elsewhere. For the Wuwei Spicy Beef Noodle, since we ordered takeout, the beef came separately with its own marinade. I wouldn't recommend pouring the marinade into the noodle soup because it completely overpowers the original spicy broth. The beef itself was perfectly tender, though! The Fried Rice Noodle was really good, and we had no complaints! It also came in a HUGE portion that was plenty for the two of us. Both times, I was craving Szechuan flavors and rice noodle dishes, and these definitely hit the spot! I wouldn't say I'm in love with everything we tried, but overall, the food was really good and worth satisfying those cravings.

Ward Centre closed down along with multiple businesses…read more Before they closed their doors, I ate at Mian & Bao. My friend and I ordered their fried chicken cutlet, beef pancake rolls, Chengdu dan dan noodles, signature beef fried rice, pan fried pork buns, and pan fried chicken dumplings. The fried chicken cutlet was okay. The side of mayo and sweet chili helped but it was too dry. It would have been better if the chicken cutlet was juicy. The Chengdu Dan Dan noodles which had the ground beef, green onions and spice sauce in the bottom. Mixing this dish before eating was pretty good. The spice made this simple noodles dish, better. My favorites were the beef pancake rolls, and pan fried pork buns. The beef pancake rolls were sliced beef with cucumbers rolled up in a thin wrap. I liked how crispy the wraps were. They were thick and great as a sharing appetizer. The pan fried pork buns weren't full of soup-goodness but it was still fire. The crispy sides from the pan and the great pork flavor. So, good. The service was very nice and refilled our waters. Sad that they had to close down but they were be merging with Chengdu Taste in July.

Wife and I had a late lunch at Mian & Bao…read more Service was fast with no frills. We were seated quickly and ordered via app at the table. We enjoyed shrimp long bao and the fried chicken cutlets with house made mayo. I was surprised that they didn't have steamed rice available on the day but didn't miss it enough to pay up for the shrimp fried rice plate. The bao was served boiling hot and was tasty and soupy. The cutlets were nicely cooked: golden brown and delicious. When I asked to use facilities, I was directed to the bathroom in the strip mall behind the restaurant. Food court vibes. Still I'd come back again if I was in the area for a fast, affordable, tasty meal.

My husband got the beef chow fun $14.50. My mom and I both got the wonton mein $12.99 each. We shared the cheung fun $8.50 and I got the soy milk $5 made in house. I wanted to get the half roast duck $28, but it was sold out. The cheung fun was good. It came with sesame seeds on top. They brought over the peanut sauce. When I asked for the sweet sauce they pointed to the hoisin sauce on the table. It's not the same, but it'll do. If anyone knows a place that serves real sweet sauce with cheung fun, please let me know. I tried my hubby's beef chow fun and it was excellent. It had good wok hei and the beef was tender. The wontons were meh. I haven't had wontons that bad in a while. They were mushy and contained a small piece of shrimp. My mom agreed that the wontons weren't good that day. However, she had wontons there before and they were good. I loved the skinny Hong Kong noodles that came with the wontons. If you're Chinese like me, then you'd know to eat it with the red vinegar. Also, try the house-made soy milk if you get the chance. It was yummy. My mom used to make it, but it takes a lot of work.

He cares about the food he serves and thinks about how the food will taste, not just while you're eating, but also if you plan to take food home. I ordered the cold vegetable noodles and pork buns. He told me not to order the pork buns because the noodles are huge. I'll try to stuff myself and I won't enjoy the food, "I want you to enjoy" he said. He also asked how much spiciness I preferred and at first I said none, but he suggested I add at least a little spice because of the way it mixes with the food and brings out the flavor. Later I overheard him talking to a group of young adults about how he doesn't serve a particular type of food because the quality and the texture of the meat wasn't good enough. When I was done with my noodles, I decided to order the buns and take it home to eat later. He said, "Oh no... if you take it home and put it in the refrigerator... it will become dry and you won't enjoy it." That's the first time I've ever heard of someone refusing money because he's worried about me enjoying my meal and the taste of his food. Most people would just take the money... but to him... how the food tastes will leave a lasting impression on him. With all that... how was the cold vegetable noodles? Damn good! I said to him it was "perfect". He was right. It was big. I was tempted to take half of it home, but I thought about how it would taste differently if I put it in the fridge. So...

Delicious ramen. Was the best rated of three in the area. Generous happy hour offer of fried kimchi…read moredumplings with each ramen. I think the dumplings are prepackaged from a bag though not handmade. The soup broth stayed nice and hot for a while. The young man who took our order was very courteous. The only room for improvement is more toppings. It came with only half an egg and a small strip of pork. Maybe more egg, more pork, fresh corn etc to cover the top of the bowl. It would be healthier too if it was served in a ceramic bowl instead of plastic. Plastic leaches in hot soup. Otherwise, great place for a ramen fix. Everyone liked their meal: shio, miso and tan tan.

I LOVE ramen, but I don't consume land animals and most broth is made with pork or beef--OR is it?!…read moreNoods Ramen offers a wide selection of vegan ramen. This makes my animal-loving heart happy and my pescatarian palate scream with delight! Nothing is missing from their vegan ramen, in fact, I'd argue that the taste is more distinct and delicate than your typical pork and beef broths. Either way, I can NOT get ENOUGH. I wanted to save this review until I tried all of their vegan menu options. But, that was biting off more than I could chew, literally. Getting through a dozen ramen bowls is going to take me a bit more time and appetite. In the meantime, I'm sharing this much overdue oratory ovation. Here are my comments on the six different vegan ramen I've slurped down so far. All were excellent, exceptional even, each offering different flavor profiles that were quite unique. Seriously, there is something for every mood at Noods! The noodles have a nice bite to them, too. Listed in chronologically-consumed order rather than preference (because at this point I don't have a favorite): Yuzu Shio--light and bright, clear and crisp Truffle Shoyu--full of umami, deep and earthy Shoyu Curry--nostalgic, rich, with a hint of sweetness Spicy Thai Curry--exotic, spicy, complex Tan Tan Men--nutty, creamy, with a touch of heat Creamy Garlic Shoyu--light and slightly savory Vegan Dumpling Soup--(tried takeout at a potluck), you can choose the broth you want, ANY broth! This one was the Spicy Thai Curry. The dumplings withstood the take out container, travel, and wait. And, it was delicious. It must be absolutely fire eaten fresh. Speaking of dumplings, Noods also offers vegan sides which include their vegan kimchi dumplings, mushroom bao, corn tempura, and vegan fried rice. I always get the kimchi dumplings but have tried the bao and tempura. The bao was soft and savory and the tempura was sweet and crunchy. And, my meat-eating hubby can have all the pork and beef broth ramen with pork filled gyoza, too. We very much enjoyed the shrimp dynamite together. I absolutely adore having so many choices. Everyone leaves happy, satisfied, but wanting MORE! Noods, also has a frequent-eater incentive program and you can earn a free ramen bowl once your card is filled. Not that we needed more motivation! They also have a great happy hour between 5 and 6 pm -- $3 off ramen bowls and select appetizers. Their prices are already super reasonable, so happy hour is a slurp-worthy steal! The restaurant has a cool vibe with black walls and chalk-inspired art. Tables and chairs have an Asian aesthetic. It's giving ramen-stall. They can accommodate a deuce to larger parties comfortably. And service is always friendly, professional, and efficient. The workers seem proud of their product, and they should be! Parking is available in the paid lot behind the restaurant and on the street. We never have a problem finding a spot. And a short walk through the Kaimuki area filled with interesting shops and restaurants is worth the effort. Doesn't matter if you're vegan or not, this place is a must-try. And with so many different options, you can be like me and try, try, try, try again!

Didn't expect to find some seriously delicious Chinese beef noodles during my Honolulu trip, but…read moreMian was a great surprise. Today has been a back to back food win. Earlier, I had some amazing poke and sushi, and now this. The beef was incredibly tender and practically melted in my mouth. The noodles had that perfect chewy texture I love, and the broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting. Definitely the kind of bowl you keep going back to until you realize it's gone. And most importantly, they have my water of life: Diet Coke. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and informative, which made the experience even better. Location is convenient too. There's a Sam's Club and Walmart nearby, and Ala Moana isn't far either. Great unexpected find in Honolulu. I'd absolutely come back for another bowl.

This was my first time dining at Mian and it was such a comforting meal!…read more My boyfriend got the house beef soup noodles and I believe I got one of the braised beef soup noodles. The soup was really tasty with a nice spice and kick to it, and the braised beef in mine was so tender and almost melt in your mouth! I also liked the chewiness of the noodles. We also got the house beef pancake roll to share, which was pretty good. I especially liked the freshness of the vegetables inside and how they added a nice crunch to the pancake. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we went, with only a few other tables occupied, so the service was fast and efficient. Overall, I really enjoyed our meal and wouldn't mind coming back again!
