Come here for the authentic Vietnamese dishes. The Bun Bo Hue is unreal! The broth is delicious with just the right amount of spiciness without overpowering the flavor. Fully loaded with the meat at a generous portion size. The accompanying herbs are also so fresh and plentiful. I love veggies in my soup, so the more the better for me. The mom and pop restaurant is truly a gem and hospitality is spot on. They treat you like family but giving you the space to enjoy your food. The food comes out fresh, because all made to order. This is a gem in Downtown Chinatown, nothing fancy juts good authentic food. read more

Decided to grab pho for lunch. Read a lot of great reviews on this place. Really great flavor and plenty of meat in the bowl. They don't have fatty brisket which is ok but you can customize your bowl with the cuts of meat that they do have. I overheard someone ordering egg noodles instead of rice noodles. I think I'll try that combo next time. I imagine parking might be hard since it's within chinatown. I just walked as I live in the neighborhood. I think I'd definitely come back if craving pho and able to walk here again. Service was great as it wasn't busy during lunch time during the work week. read more

Anh Hong - Beef flank and steak pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is a true hidden gem in Chinatown and our favorite go to spot for Vietnamese food. We always normally Cook Vietnamese food at home but when we are out and about and want Vietnamese food we come here. We've had the Banh Canh Cua, Pho, Bun Rieu, Bun Bo Hue, Bun Mang Vit, and Hu Tieu Bo Kho and honestly everything was good. read more

Love this place. Duck salad is the bomb. Love the Pandan infused water that that they serve instead of ice water. It's always busy and rightfully so. read more

Came here for a pho fix and this spot did not disappoint! The pho was super tasty, and I really appreciated that they had Thai chili peppers available--I like to mix those with fish sauce and lime to make a dipping sauce for the meats in my pho and for the raw meat served on the side. It hit just right. My girlfriend got the pork chop, and she loved it. Their homemade nuoc mam went perfectly with it--great balance of sweet, salty, and tangy. We also tried the summer rolls, and they were fresh and flavorful. That peanut dipping sauce? Honestly one of the best I've had--so creamy and addicting. Bonus points for being open really early (love that!) and the restaurant itself is nice and cool inside, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a go-to spot for solid Vietnamese food! read more

Legggiiittt place. Authentic Vietnamese I suppose coz people spoke Vietnamese and the tv had Vietnamese fruit channel on lol, like they're speaking in Vietnamese explaining everything about dragonfruits for one whole hour. I don't think I can even watch that if I understood Vietnamese lol. Anyway the food. The food! We tried their Bun Bo Hue and bun rieu and both were delicious! Savory and with depth. Between the two I liked the Bun Bo Hue a little better but you can't go wrong with either. I was surprised even in their bun rieu they put porks blood and pork knuckle as well, alongside with the Vietnamese ham, soft tofu and of course a lot of fresh herbs which I greatly appreciated. Their egg rolls were delicious too! Good flavor with plenty of herbs and rice noodles. The dipping sauce could use more garlic. The server spoke perfect English so it wouldn't be a problem ordering here without speaking Vietnamese. The food also came out in a timely manner. As for environment, it's an Asian restaurant in Chinatown, so don't expect anything modern modern or sparkling clean, hey but sometimes that's where you gotta go to find good food. I only saw one high chair for the entire restaurant but at least they had one lol. Next time we would try other stuff! read more

Great service! I love that they serve iced tea instead of water, so refreshing. It's a cute little Vietnamese restaurant. Food was fine nothing super special but good portions, fresh, and well seasoned. Prices were very reasonable. read more

When a restaurant is filled with people of the same ethnic background as itself, it's a clear indicator the place is legit! That was the case at Anh Hong--my fourth stop (my third was Pho To Chau, but nothing new. Still good!) in my Pho Quest. The whole place was nearly full when I arrived, and eventually filled up with immediate turnover while I was there, and this was a Monday. All Vietnamese. I'm part French via Vietnam. Does that count? I couldn't say the same for other places. In fact, the other places I've been to were basically empty. Ahn Hong is located along North King Street, near River Street. It's in between Golden River Vietnamese Restaurant and Kieu Vietnamese Restaurant. Just a bit down from Kekaulike Street. I just park at the Chinatown Municipal Parking that you enter from Ala Moana Boulevard. It's all metered parking. Inside was clean and bright. Yes, Combination Pho again! My first sip of the broth, it was clean while rich in flavor with the taste of herbs and spices. The broth was close to one at Pho To Chau. "Is this better??? Better than To Chau??" was what entered my mind after having the broth, and I believe it might be. Every ingredient in the pho was exceedingly fresh. From the bean sprouts, culantro, basil, rare steak, tendon, cilantro, and etc. This is the only place where I could taste the cilantro (I abhor it), and found it acceptable. All the beef was tender and tasty, and prepared very well. Even the beef meatballs tasted better here. Everything was precisely portioned. The noodles were slightly more skinnier, but had a nice firmness and texture. The broth temperature was just right. Slightly extra warm to better cook the raw vegetables. The large size was the perfect amount for me. The saté sauce was very good--a nice balance between spicy and savory. Overall, Ahn Hong might be my favorite now. Not just because there were a lot of Vietnamese eating there, but also the food was just spot on. Everything was very fresh and very well prepared. The service was excellent--very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back for more pho and other things! read more

Anh Hong - Front - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Lunch in Honolulu's Chinatown... When metered street parking is free on Sundays, that's one of the best days (besides holidays) to dine in Chinatown! Why else would you want to go where some unsavory characters hang out on the sidewalks and in doorway nooks? Another benefit of dining in Chinatown is the lower prices at certain establishments. The rent is probably lower and the volume of customers might be higher. Dear Daniel had some free time between appointments and said that he was craving some Vietnamese soup. Ok - I haven't been to Anh Hong before - let's go! Located on King Street, near the River Street intersection, Anh Hong is one of the many Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Inside, the environment looks clean, new, and spacious. There's supposed to be a convenient restroom, but I didn't check it out... Another perk of this restaurant is the complimentary "tea water". It may not sound like much, but on a warm July afternoon, it is refreshing! It's like a watered down barley-ish tea with ice. It's unsweetened and not bitter... Just right! Service was quite good! Dear Daniel had to ask for the little chopped chili peppers that usually come on the side. Other than that, I have no complaints. I ordered the #14 which is BBQ pork and Spring Rolls on vermicelli. It's my "go to" dish because it has some of everything: fresh veggies, fried Spring Rolls, grilled pork, and boiled noodles. That's carbs, fiber, and protein - all in one bowl! The sweet chili sauce with pickled shredded carrots and daikon gave the dish added flavor! Yum! I wouldn't mind returning... As long as it's on a Sunday or holiday... LOL! read more

How rare it is to have a viet restaurant that serves different noodle soups and every single one is a good. So good that we were there 3 times during our trip and have been telling everyone it's a must stop in Honolulu. Highly recommend the hu tieu mi (nice clean squiddy broth with perfectly cooked egg noodles, I recommend subbing the egg noodles since the original noodles are thicker and a different texture) You can't go wrong with ordering a bun rieu (pork/crab soup), pho, banh canh, and spring rolls! Wishing for a place like this near home.. read more

Loved the Bun Bo Hue that I have been craving for weeks. This place has the authentic Bun Bo Hue with pig feet and blood pudding. The banana flower condiment was also sooo good. Not many places in the town serve with the banana flower so I am so thankful that they do. The service was nice as well. We were a little skeptical about the tea flavored water because I didn't know if it was because it wasn't washed properly. It was this faint flavor or soy or barley tea so I wasn't too sure. Overall I had a great experience and will be back when we can get to Chinatown. read more

Have tried pretty much most of the Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu across the island and this spot is the best hands down, their ingredients are always fresh as well where you cant say the same for every pho shop. Youre doing yourself a disservice if you love Viet cuisine but havent tried this spot. Only thing is I wished this spot was open for dinner. Would come back 2x in a day! read more

Two and a half stars. Was forced to try another pho place because my favorite one in aiea is somehow closed. Decided to try this one because I had already tried the other pho places around there and didn't care for any around Chinatown area. Eh, walked in and found that a big party had just left. I was seated right away and pleasantly surprised that they served coconut water instead of regular water. Ordered spring rolls, summer rolls and a beef flank and brisket. The appetizers came pretty quickly then the pho came out. To begin with the appetizers were quite different. The summer rolls come with a piece of char siu inside with the shrimp. The rolls were rather tightly wrapped and smaller. The spring rolls were ok. The meat inside had a different taste to it but I enjoyed the fixings that came with it. Lots of basil and cucumber which I always appreciate. The pho on the other hand was a different flavor than I expected and ever tasted. First of all I noticed that they might have cooked some beef in the broth for it's cloudy. I do not like the taste of cooked blood in my broth. I like my broth clear as possible. Secondly I took a bite of a nice piece of beef but it honestly had a strange after taste that I didn't care for at all. I just ate the noodles with the vegetables I put in it but left all the beef and the broth. I always get disappointed when it comes to a different pho taste that I'm used to. It has a sweeter taste to it which I don't care for. However I might be not used to a different style of pho. I am figuring out that probably which place the cook comes from is the way they cook the pho. The taste is different from different parts of Vietnam I am sure. I didn't care for this one but a lot of Vietnamese customers came in speaking the language and seem to be regulars so they're used to that pho. The people are hard working and courteous and the place is rather clean. I just have my own preference but honestly I'm sure others might want to try for a different taste. read more

Anh Hong is easily the best Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown. I'm from the Bay Area so my tastebuds for authentic Vietnamese food is admittedly pretty snobby. My brother and I arrived around 11am on Sunday morning and was greeted by the sweet lady owner. There were other guests situated already so she sat us at a table closest to the door -- being mindful of social distancing us from other diners. I ordered their Bun Rieu (Crab and Tomato soup) and my brother ordered their Bun Bo Hue (Vietnamese Spicy Beef Soup). The soup for both dishes were piping hot when brought out from the kitchen and the appropriate noodles were used for each item (yes, using the "right" noodles are especially important in Vietnamese cooking). The flavors were stellar and as close to "home" as it's going to get while in Oahu. Be sure to ask for all the appropriate condiments so you can bring out all the authentic flavors for each specialty noodle soup. There were so many other items that looked really appealing also so I'm looking forward to trying something different next time. #SupportLocalSmallBusinesses read more

My s/o and I were craving Vietnamese food and we're glad we found Anh Hong. We were in Chinatown to get a head lei (flower crown) for me and as we were walking around we were drawn to such an amazing scent. We literally followed the scent and found out that it was coming from this restaurant so we decided to try it out. I got brisket pho and my s/o got bun bo hue. This place is seriously one of the best Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. The employees are extremely welcoming and friendly too which brought us in a second time before heading back home from Oahu. Every time we visit Oahu, we have to stop by this place! My favorite drink is their mung bean. It's so fresh! read more

The soup came out hot and steaming with a rich seafood broth. Included pig knuckle,blood,shrimp,fishcake and when you add the veggies comes out to a perfect combination. Portions are huge and worth the price. All the tables were filled at lunch with locals which is a sign of fresh products used. They did not have escargot soup which they have sometimes. A hidden gem in Chinatown. read more

I lived in SF for a few decades and always went to the same pho place (over 75 yelp checkins from me) Unfortunately it didn't make the impact of COVID.

Nobody really goes to Oahu to get Vietnamese food, but I always get a craving on vacation. This bun bo hue from Anh Hong in Chinatown was so bomb , we went twice. The broth was clean & flavorful, paired with fresh vegetables to throw in. The beef salad was divine as well. I definitely recommend coming here to cure your hangover or if you're just craving some authentic Vietnamese food. Comparable to Vietnam. * * We walked around Chinatown afterwards to mingle w/ our fellow Chinese people & bought some locally grown fruit. read more

On a mission to try all the Vietnamese restaurants in China Town, and all of Oahu. I've found my new favorite summer roll! I don't even care that the rice paper tore because it had yummy pork and shrimp and the peanut sauce had great flavor. The vermicelli bowl also had a lot of food and great flavor. I will definitely be back to try to pho and bunbohue. I ordered for takeout and the lady was super nice to me. read more

Man. This place hit the spot and taste buds on so many levels! The service is top notch. They're attentive and always make sure your pandan tea is topped up. Shop is small but clean. Every dish I tried here was consistently delicious. I had their BBH (spicy beef noodle soup), duck noodle soup, fish cake udon (special), pho. My kid is a picky eater and enjoyed their pho tremendously. Their mung bean drink is outta this world! Whenever I'm in Honolulu, I come here specifically for that drink! read more

I'm not a runner. Exercising and I are like oil and vinegar, we don't quite mix together. Despite my apprehension about exercise and therefore running, I've had multiple runs to Ahn Hong to make sure that I grab takeout during my lunch break. Despite it being a pretty far spot from my workplace, I'm always happy to take a dash for their food because it's my favorite Vietnamese place on the island! I'm always looking for the holy grail in terms of menu variety and taste, but Ahn Hong is my #1 choice for flavor and dish selection thus far! While it's not uncommon for me to find items too salty, plain and not having any depth, high prices and other disappointments, I've never found anything at Ahn Hong to not be worth it. Instead, it's more likely that I ate elsewhere and wished that I took a run to Ahn Hong for my meal! Having to run to get takeout means that I've rarely enjoyed a sit-down meal here. Although parking is sparse and not the cheapest downtown, you're in for a treat if you dine in. The complimentary flavored water is the perfect thirst quencher since the restaurant is always on the warmer side. I'd also suggest dining in so one can explore the other shops and restaurants in Chinatown. No running needed so long as you remember to feed the meter! I rarely come across Bánh Xèo and had a good laugh to see it marketed as "Vietnamese Pizza." I attempted to order it multiple times but was always told that they were out. It appears that the recent menu change no longer lists it. Looks like I need to run elsewhere if I want a craving for "pizza" the Vietnamese way. Hoping that the Bánh Xèo returns so I can try the chef's take on it. I'm sure it was incredible back when it was regularly available. read more

I love their Duck Noodle Soup most. The restaurant offers two kinds: Vietnamese or Chinese style. I love the latter and you can specify which part, drumstick or breast, that you prefer. The duck comes in huge portion. Though it is steamed and not marinated, the ginger-vinegar sauce dipped in makes the meat tender and ono. The noodle soup comes with bamboo shoots and pig blood too. read more

My friend just started to fall in love with bun rieu, (when I saw her over the weekend) We talked about this dish and at the same time, I've been wanting to eat this dish badly. We had lunch plans so I knew exactly where to go. Anh Hong, located on North King street. Do not mistaken this place for Kim An, which is located just next door. Exact address,174 N. King Street. Parking at municipal parking lot, meter parking, or if you dine here on the weekends, free street parking in front of restaurant. Anh Hong is a small and clean restaurant with about 4 tables on both sides of restaurant. I like that, they have restroom available. ( it's very odd to see this in Chinatown) I've been here with my mom & sister. They eat here every other week, they love the Bun Bo Hue & Bun Rieu here. They only come here for both of these dishes. (I just knew where to go for our bun rieu) When we arrived, we got a table near the door, besides the menu we got our tea waters, which is another reason why I love this place. I love the tea water, refreshing on a hot day.! The waiter was very nice. Service was excellent.! Our orders: 2 bowls of Bun Rieu and 1 Bun Bo Hue and my request : steamed bean sprouts. ( the waiter remembered!) usually they forget. The bowls comes out piping hot and ready to eat.!! final verdict: we all enjoyed our soups, my friend raved that she could taste the difference from the other 2 restaurants she has been to, She said the Bun Rieu taste better here. I'm glad!! Another reason why I love this place, they provide chopped chili peppers. I love me extra spices!! They don't skimp on the veggies. We had lots of mint, water spinach stems, bean sprouts, lemons, & shredded banana flower to go with our soups. What's Bung Rieu you ask?, it is a Vietnanese crab noodle soup with vermicelli noodles, served with tomato broth with crab or shrimp paste. Along with all the fixings, shrimp, crab loaf, tofu, steamed pork, pig's blood, pork, water spinach stems, shredded banana flowers, bean sprouts, this is Bun Rieu. Over-all, I enjoyed my soup, my friends enjoyed their orders. I want to go back again, this time for the Hu Tieu Nam Vang. (Clear noodle soup) -another must get here.!! I need to text my friends to see when is our next lunch?? 2016 #30/100 Yelp Challenge read more
