We waited about 45min during peak lunch hours on a weekend. The restaurant is small so there is limited seating. I would suggest getting takeout for larger parties. Since the server took our order at the door by the time we were seated the food was ready. The drinks and food were delicious, nothing to complain about and service was quick. Prices are decent especially in the Ala Moana area where everything is expensive. They validate parking so don't forget to do that before you leave. read more

Came here around 7pm on a Saturday and waited around 45mins for a party of 7. They share the parking lot (and the restroom) with a bunch of other restaurants, so it gets busy. The shop itself is small and cramped, only seating around 5-6 groups at a time. They have the menu posted up by the door, and the hostess gives you the option of ordering ahead so your food can be ready by the time you're seated. I ordered the egg noodles + wontons and crispy pork belly, dry noodle style. It comes with a side of soup anyhow. The pork belly was juicy and crispy, and the whole dish was rich. read more

Love getting their bahn mi and bun bo hue! The bread they use for their bahn mi has a nice warm crust and easy to chew at the same time. One thing they can improve with their bahn mi is to stuff it with more fillings for a more mouthful and flavorful bite. The broth for bun bo hue was flavorful and it's a slightly more on the sweeter side. I love garnishing it with the herbs and veggies. As for the spare ribs rice plate, my family found it a bit too salty and slightly sweet for their liking. But the garlic soup that came on the side was good! This place has limited seating so expect to wait for your table especially during lunch hours on a weekend. There is validated parking and the parking lot seems to be full all the time so it might be limited. Note that they charge an automatic 18% gratuity for tables with five or more people. read more

After a long day of walking and shopping, we were craving something warm and comforting, so we stopped in for a bowl of noodles and broth -- and it was exactly what we needed. The seating area is small with limited spots, but the cozy atmosphere, great vibes, and friendly service more than make up for it. The staff was welcoming and efficient, which made the experience even better. I ordered the Hu Tieu, and I loved how customizable it was. You can choose your meats, noodle type, and whether you want the broth served in the bowl or on the side. I went with the pork combo, egg noodles, dumplings, and the soup on the side. The broth was rich and flavorful -- truly comforting after a long day. The liver was slightly dry but still tasty. They also offer pickled garlic as a condiment, which really elevates the noodles and adds an extra layer of flavor. Overall, we were very happy with our visit. If you're looking for a satisfying bowl of noodles in a cozy spot, this place is definitely worth a try! read more

This cozy restaurant, located across Walmart Keeaumoku, is worth seeking out if you want good Vietnamese food. The atmosphere is very casual and there's a parking lot right outside the restaurant. There's also street parking along Keeaumoku and the side streets. I had a vermicelli bowl with spring rolls and garlic beef. Everything in the bowl was tasty and fresh. The portions were generous and prices very reasonable. We also ordered chicken wings for appetizers and they were flavorful and crispy. Service here was excellent and I'll definitely return to try some of the other delicious sounding items on the menu! read more

Happy 2026- still on my winter break and enjoying the last days left, time to catch with my foodie friend, we decided upon Vietnamese. I've always wanted to try Pate Vietnamese Cuisine, after seeing all the Yelp photos and Instagram reels. Located at the Samsung Plaza, parking available but it can get busy due to all the businesses in this plaza, parking fee but not too bad with validation. ( I don't remember having to pay for parking but it has been years since I last been here at Samsung Plaza. The restaurant is on the tiny side with about 5-6 tables but very welcoming! I can imagine the crowd and having to wait for a table. We got the last table when I arrived. The only staff working the front, did it all- she is so hardworking and so nice! Looking at the menu booklet, everything looks sounds so good- I wanted to order everything to try, hehe! but that didn't happen, Ended up getting their famous Hu Tieu Mi soup. The combo of roast pork and won ton, with soup broth on the side and a combination Banh Mi Dac Biet. **Hu Tieu Mi is their signature dish and you can also create your own with picking various toppings. This is fun to create but we just went with the combo. I love the spices/condiment tray on the table, especially the fresh chili oil sauce and the fresh pickled garlic! The food comes out and let's eat! The combination banh mi is nicely made and full of toppings. I like the tray of veggies, they don't add this in to the your bowl, I like how it is served separate. The banh mi sandwich was super good & tasty, really enjoyed the banh me! Enjoyed the hu tieu soup, but not a fan of the won ton. The roast pork is nice and crispy! I wish they gave more broth & egg noodles, it came with a small rice bowl size of broth, the soup went so great with the banh mi, not enough broth for the noodles . We both shared the soup/banh mi which was perfect! Overall- we enjoyed our meal. I LOVE Vietnamese food, now I have more Vietnamese spots to choose from, and look forward to visiting again- when it is time for my next banh mi and noodle soup fix! Cheers to a Happy New Year and to all the good eats!! read more

I've had a few tries on Vietnamese dishes, however, Patê Vietnamese was exceptionally good. The pho broth was utterly delicious, same with the vermicelli with meatballs. I could drink the meatball sauce -yum! Service was excellent, Thao (waitress/cashier/greeter) was very hospitable and attentive. Ambiance was charming, limited seating but had good energy. I would definitely go back and recommend this restaurant to friend and family. read more

Patê Vietnamese Cuisine - Combination pho, cold vermicelli with Vietnamese meatballs. - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Tucked away on Keeamoku street, this tiny eatery is worth a stop! This was one time where my wife had been without me and was excited to take me....sheesh...what am I? Chopped liver?!? I mean Patê?!? She isnt a big fan of sandwiches but that's what she gets here...lemongrass chicken banh mi, with a fried egg inside. This is a double win for her...as I don't eat fried eggs...so she doesn't have to share! I was able to try the paté appetizer and the rare steak pho...and both were very good. The appetizer was what I was expecting...rich, creamy, and delicious. The pho was also very good. I was pleasantly surprised when the server asked if I preferred the meat on the side or in the bowl...most restaurants don't ask anymore. We saw a few rice plates come out that looked delicious. We will definitely try that on our next visit Definitely come here if you are not in a hurry. This is a very small restaurant with very few tables. If you are in a hurry, place a take out order...they seemed to go fast while we were eating. Food hack: Among the traditional condiments served in a Vietnamese restaurant, there is a jar of garlic. You want this... You want this...everywhere. Parking is pretty easy as there is an attendant...and the restaurant validates. Enjoy the garlic! I mean Vietnamese food! read more

Our last meal here in Hawaii and it couldn't have been more perfect. The galbi plate was my son's absolute favorite..he kept saying it was the best meal he had the whole trip I went for the oxtail pho (so rich and comforting!), while my hubby and our other son had the combination plate. Everything was SO good--definitely ending our trip on the best note. We're already missing the food here! #HawaiiEats #LastMealBestMeal read more

Patê Vietnamese Cuisine - Oxtail pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love love love the bun with 2 toppings. My favorite order is the vermicelli with lemongrass chicken and spring rolls. The chicken is delicious, and I always feel like I'm getting an absolute steal with spring rolls included as part of the entree when these days they are often $10+ as a side dish that I can't ever bring myself to splurge on. Their pho is also not bad, with generous portions of meat and veggies. Have only ever done takeout so I can't say much toward service or ambiance, but the food is top notch and reasonably priced. A solid standard part of my regular takeout rotation that I highly recommend to anyone craving Vietnamese! read more

Patê Vietnamese Cuisine - Vermiceli/ Bún 2 Toppings - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

There are quite a few good Vietnamese restaurants I like in Honolulu and I will be adding this one to my list. Pate Vietnamese serves the normal variety of Vietnamese dishes you can find at most places. They have sandwiches, pho, rice dishes and vermicelli. We ordered the crisply spring rolls, the butter garlic beef with rice and the Vietnamese udon to share. All the food was fresh and delicious. It's hard to rank Vietnamese food because there are so many good places. Pate has great food, but so does many other restaurants. I think what sets this restaurant apart and why I like it so much is that the staff is so friendly and nice. Like I want to be friends with them. They're happy and personable and seem to genuinely like their jobs and serving Vietnamese food. So that will keep me coming back. There was a small line when we came on a Saturday night. There are only 6 small tables so it can get full easily but they will take your order ahead of time to speed up the turn over which is nice. I liked all the different condiments, especially the sate sauce. I hope they have fresh orange juice next time I come because they were out when we went. Parking is kind of a hassle in that tiny Samsung plaza lot, so you're probably better off looking for street parking. read more

They are located in the Sam Sung mall and they have a parking lot. You get a parking ticket from the guard and proceed to the parking spaces all along the shops and restaurants and more in the back. When we got there we were the 2nd customer to get in, they only have 5 tables, not very much, 1 table of 6, 2 tables of 4, and 2 table for 2 of you can squeeze in maybe 3 on 1 table of 2. Service is fast we ordered the 1 choice Pho with tendon and a Special combination sandwich. The sandwich came out it looked nice already cut in half and lots of fresh veggies and portion of filling. The bread was crispy on the outside and nice a chewy on the inside. The 1 choice pho was okay the broth was missing the good beef broth that you get from boiling a long time to get that rich deep flavors, it was light and on the sweet side with lots of black pepper. The tendon was tender and good size and portion and the noodle were different and the gave a good about of noodles. They validate parking and the restrooms are located of the restaurant, shared by all tenants in the complex, as you go out of the restaurant you need a key for the restroom and turn right and as you walk up towards the back it is on the right side, clearly marked restrooms.

After a long, soul-draining day at work, I found myself wandering on the yelp app, searching--no, yearning--for something warm, soupy, and noodle-filled to bring me back to life. That's when fate (and the algorithm) led me to this place. Open late. Nearby. Almost too good to be true. I've seen this spot in Samsung Plaza before--always overflowing with people like it's giving away free gold. But on this night... the stars aligned. No wait. No line. Just seats waiting for two weary noodle-seekers. We ordered the spring rolls and the regular pho combination. Everything was delicious! The broth was super clear and flavorful, and the noodles were satisfying--exactly what I needed. What stood out was that they offer unique sauces compared to other pho places I've tried, plus a garlic condiment that was a nice touch. I was impressed. Even though I thought I was starving, the portion was generous, so I took the rest to-go and had it the next day--it still tasted amazing! I'll return. Oh, I'll return. But not in the chaos of the afternoon crowds. No. I'll come late, when the world is quiet, and the pho is waiting. 100% recommend! read more

Fast and friendly service, we ordered our meal to go because Mom and Dad prefer eating at home without crowds. Giving 5 stars because everyone in the family enjoyed our order. Not a single complaint. In fact, there was hardly any conversation for the first ten bites. Only "Mmmmms!" We started with the summer rolls. Conveniently wrapped individually so that the rice wrapper wouldn't dry out or stick to the other rolls. Each roll was generously filled with sliced pork and shrimp, fresh veggies, and tender rice noodles. The take out container also included the perfect peanut dipping sauce. So good all together! At special request, we ordered three batches of their House Dry Noodles. Two of the orders were with egg noodles and the third order had a combination of rice and "glass" noodles. All three orders had fresh veggies and tasty roast pork. The seasoning on the dried noodles is excellent!! This also comes with a side of flavorful broth. Thank you Pate for offering such authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The family really enjoyed it! We will most certainly return :) read more

Pate is located in a small plaza with limited parking that is first hour free. But walmart is right across the street and there is some street parking. Their menu offers a lot of the classic vietnamese restaurant dishes like pho, banh mis, and rice plates. They also have some unique offerings that i really enjoyed. The chicken wings and the house specialty noodles! Those two are definitely worth trying if you come to pate. The specialty noodles are really comforting and fun for the customization aspect of it. You can choose two noodles/wonton and choice of meat. I really like the options. read more

This is the best Vietnamese food I've had in Hawaii. The broth for the Chicken Pho is delicious and comforting. It comes in a huge bowl with noodles, herbs, and soup. No notes, it's excellent. I also love their dried noodles with custom meat and noodle selection which is so tasty. It also comes with a bowl of soup on the side to pair with your dry noodles. It's a broth with a deep rich flavor even though it looks plain and doesn't have much in it, trust me, you will be surprised. The restaurant is small so it isn't recommended to come with a large group but the service is friendly and the Vietnamese food is the best! read more

Love this cute little family owned restaurant! The food was absolutely fantastic! Customer service was outstanding too!

I've been ordering takeout from this place for awhile and recently stop by because I was craving for some soup. This spot opens later than most pho places which makes it very convenient after hours. Their spicy beef soup is probably the best after 10pm. The other food on the menu is bomb as well, they got the 5 stars caz they satisfy cravings lol. The service is kinda slow, maybe they have a hard time with all the takeout orders and etc. But they are genuinely nice people. The restaurant is really small, enough to fit about 16 to 20 ppl at once. Try them out. read more

Tight parking lot and a very tiny restaurant so expect a bit of a squeeze. Because the restaurant is called Pâté, I ordered the pâté and unfortunately it was a big letdown. It tasted canned and honestly reminded me of cat food. If pâté is in the name, it really should be made fresh. Even the bread it was served on was sad and added to the disappointment. The pho was better. The noodle texture was actually very nice and chewy, which is hard to find here, so credit where it is due. The bún bò Huế was not good. The broth tasted overly sweet and more like bún riêu than BBH, which was disappointing if you are craving that spicy savory depth. The standout dish was the hủ tiếu Nam Vang. This was really good and honestly the best I have had in Waikiki. If you come here just for that one dish, you will be totally fine. Overall, mixed experience. One great dish, some misses, and very tight space. read more

Parking can be a hassle and stalls are very very tight. There is a 30 mins grace period. The space is really small there is no place to really wait and the floors are very slippery. There are maybe 4 tables inside. The spring rolls were skinny a bit overpriced for 3 ($13.50). Can't say I will get them again. Both the pho and vermicelli were good. I'm glad they put the peanuts on the side because I don't like nuts. Overall love the online ordering convenience. read more

Came here based on Yelp reviews. Tried the seafood pho and the roast pork dry noodle. The pho broth was excellent. Very flavorful with lots of aromatics. My wife enjoyed it. I had the roast pork, won ton, and egg noodle dry. Roast pork was tender and tasty and went well with the plump won ton and chewy egg noodles. We're definitely coming back for more. It's a small place so be ready to wait for a little bit (we waited about 15 min). read more

This place goes on the top of my list when wanting a healthy and affordable meal to fill you up. read more

It's hard to overstate how good the food is at Pate! I've had the opportunity to try several items on their menu and am always impressed by how delicious everything is. The pho is always flavorful and filled with aromatics served in a large portion. I'd also highly recommend their house special noodles: you pick your own meat and type of noodle and they mix it with a savory sauce - if you don't know what to pick, ask the staff for their suggestion - they know their stuff here and are always super friendly! The restaurant is quite small and has about 5 tables total. Be prepared for a wait if you show up during a rush. Takeout is good here too, make sure you get some satay sauce to go. They do share a validated parking lot with several other businesses, but again this can get pretty packed during busy hours! read more

Spicy beef pho was exceptional. Service was courteous and efficient. Found parking stall near restaurant.

Everything was great at Pate. This plate was so good and left me more than full. It also comes with a small bowl of broth. I was so full I had some left over rice, salad and broth. One nice surprise found at the top of my plate was their meatball. Service was great, wasn't too full on Thursday after work. Really small restaurant with about five tables total. Parking is free. read more

The flavor coming out of this tiny modest spot is truly unbelievable. There are only like 5-6 tables but if there is a wait it is totally worth the wait. The staff is small but mighty, super efficient and friendly. There is parking so it's easy in and out. Get validated at the restaurant. Now. The food. Where to start. The noodles were so yummy and broth the best I have ever had. The vegetables on the side are so fresh and crisp. The portions are generous. I'm not sure but suspect they make their own chili sauce. There are two kinds and they are so flavorful. Not just spicy but spicy with layers of real authentic flavors. The amount of meaty oxtail they served with the pho was incredible. So. Much. Food. The vibe is very casual and cosy. Here you can pop in, quickly be served delicious food and be on your way. I think this is likely the best pho on island. read more

A quaint little shop almost always filled with people at every hour. There are about 5-6 tables for 2 or 4 people there. Each table armed with an assortment of delightful sauces. Satay, garlic, chili, and your usual oyster/sriracha combo. I went with 2 friends and we all got the house specialty: egg noodles with roast pork and special soup. DRY. It's like dry Ramen. The roast pork was soft and crispy. Tender. It melted in my mouth. The noodles and veggie combo? Heaven. Salty and umami with my sauce concoction. I couldn't get enough. We got the salted ice coffee for dessert. It kept me from going comatose. 5/5 I am probably coming back tomorrow. Wow. read more

Best Vietnamese I've had on island! Parking- small paid lot with validation Seating- only 5 tables for 2-4 people each, but fast turnover Service- fast, polite, and kind. Food comes quick. Food- oh man. I've been craving good Vietnamese food like I've had before and Pate really delivered. I tried the special pate broken rice plate which came with a huge mound of broken rice, egg, egg meatloaf, shredded pork skin, grilled pork, marinated pork meatball, side salad, pickled veggies, fish sauce, and a side soup! I loved trying all the different textures and flavors, each item was perfect on its own but all together, it was incredible. The fish soup and grilled pork were particularly good. Also the provided sides of pickled garlic (my favorite), stay, chili, and other condiments were so great. I also sampled my dining partners combo pho and really loved it, the broth was light but so flavorful. Prices- typical eating out prices. Expect $15-20 for an entree but at least they're very filling, had to take leftovers home and we can hungry. Will DEFINITELY return!! read more

I love Pate...and it tastes even better in "cold" rainy weather! I've been twice so far and both of my experiences were consistent. I love ordering the Hu Tieu with glass noodles and char siu. Pate is one of the few Vietnamese restaurants on the island (that I know of) that offers dry style noodles soups and char siu as a protein. Ive tried both the dry style and broth style versions of the dish, and they're both very good. The noodles are always perfectly cooked and the broth is always piping hot, served alongside fresh veggies. If it's your first time, the workers can help you order or recommend dishes. Pate is a must try Vietnamese restaurant if you've never been! read more
