Phở Đặc Biệt - Combination Phở
Mavenice B.

All the ingredients that I want/need in this Spicy Beef Noodle/ Bún Bò Huếes that other pho please don't have. So far my favorite on the island! The service was great we got there once they opened today. I always enjoy the place even though it's a small location that I don't mind eating alone one day.

Pate is a great find. It's right across from Walmart on Keeaumoku in the Samsung Plaza. Lots of parking in the lot, first hour is free now. What makes them unique is the house noodle dish. You can choose your type of noodles, protein, and even the broth style - dry or soup. if you pick the dry style, it still comes with a smaller bowl of broth. And I asked for the pho broth instead because the house broth is shrimpy/fishier than I'd like. I ordered what most people recommended - the roast pork, with egg noodles and won ton, and the broth on the side. So yummy! And the staff are really nice and friendly. Only thing is the place is so small so there may be a wait. But everything was really tasty!

Pate

This place is really small but thankfully it was not too busy during lunch time and we were able to get seated right away. Pate appetizer is delicious here. The bread is perfectly toasted and the pate is creamy. Definitely a must try item here. The dry noodles with crispy pork were pretty good. It came with a flavorful side of soup and the noodles were well seasoned. The crispy pork had a nice crunch but the meat was a little dry for my liking. Good spot to get a quick bite with no frills.

Pho 2 choice

Wow looking for some good Pho and we found it at Patè Vietnamese cuisine! The pho is so authentic and the service fantastic! Spring roll is fresh and well rolled and the peanut sauce very good! We'll be back as everyone enjoyed their food. The restaurant is very small so come during non peak hours if they are busy seating limited to 90 minutes! The food is good and comes out quickly and everything you need for your meal is either brought to the table or already on the table. They also validate parking!

Dry Noodle (Egg + Wonton), Crispy Pork
Elizabeth L.

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.

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!

Roasted pork bahn mi
Jenny L.

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.

Chicken wings
Neal I.

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!

Rob B.

Wow, really great I can't wait to go back! The biggest detractor here is parking, but if you find a spot, they generously validate. I tried the Cha Goi Spring Roll, super crunchy but the filling was fair, not made that day. The Banh Mi was exceedingly fresh and the roll was Incredible! The fillings on the Banh Mi were fresh, perfect balanced, lovely! Staff super nice, its micro so carry-out might be easier. I am coming back for that whopping bowl of spicy beef noodles!

Sunday Pho - just ordered...
Edgar M.

Got in just before noon. Perfect timing for Sunday pho. Small restaurant, maybe 12 seats. Attentive service, huge Pho and enjoyed fried rolls. Located in a mini mall you have to really look for it. I'd go back.

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!!

Patê appetizer
Steven U.

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!

Vermiceli/ Bún 2 Toppings
Brad R.

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!

Do they take reservations?

No. Place is tiny. 5 tables at most.

Do you plan on having any vegetarian options or at least having tofu as a meat option?

I didn't see a vegetarian sandwich. You might ask if they can make one for you if possible. They are very nice

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.

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.

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.

The second thing that caught my attention, was the labor of love going in to each order of fresh pulled noodles.

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!

Yes, Food yes service yes, ambience. I totally recommend…read morethis place. The Ramen was insane. I had the black garlic Ramen, due to the raves on Yelp and it lived up to expectations. Delicious to the last drop. I love corn and I love tempura and the tempera corn, which I have never seen on a menu before was insane light and not greasy. I would eat it every day like popcorn. My husband had the dynamite shrimp he said was excellent and a side of fried rice. It was a really good lunch for us. The service was super polite and very quick simple decor, and great music.
