Spring rolls
Mabeline M.

Weather this month is crappy! Didn't wanna drive far and wanted something near. Anyway, been wanting to try this place for a while. Price for what they gave was worth it. Taste wasn't as vibrant as i expected, but it was satisfying with the weather and gave that hunger crave a fullness. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the pho we ordered. It was our first time here so we were exploring their menu. Plus our kids usually just eat a combo pho and for an apparent reason it wasn't listed "combo pho" on the menu. Haha in the beginning I felt they were getting impatient, which I understand cause it's not like the menu is huge with things. Anyway, one of the workers we had hard time understanding, there was Language barrier. Anyway, We ended up ordered spring rolls, 2 combo pho and spicy bun bo hue. Service was quick. They always came around to check if we needed anything or needed more water. The place was clean and spacious which is great because we have 4 kids and needed the double stroller for our infant and our toddler was sleeping. So they were able to sit 4 of us and space next to table for the double stroller but yet leaving area for them to be able to serve us our food. Not our favorite pho spot, but I'm sure we'll return here again.

I gotta say this is one of my favorite pho spots!! The broth is flavorful and food is always served hot and fresh. Service is quick and fast from our orders being taken to when we get our food. Love their spring rolls, so hot and crispy. Definitely a place to rave about!

Been wanting to try this place for a while, and I was really impressed on my first visit. I ordered the Dac Biet style pho and my husband got the banh mi sandwich, both were delicious! The atmosphere was clean, quiet, and chill. The staff was friendly, guided us where to sit, and took our order quickly. Because we enjoyed it so much, we decided to come back again. This time, we went in the evening, about an hour before closing. I'm assuming it may have been due to the late timing, but the pho broth tasted very different, much less flavorful than before. We had to rely on garnishes and sauces to bring the flavor up. That said, I understand restaurants can have off days, so I'm definitely willing to give it another try. Overall, a great experience with a bit of inconsistency, which is why I'm giving 4 stars for now. I'll update my review after my next visit!

Considering the price and amount, this place is 4 stars. The taste is not anything amazing, but it has a home comfort sort of vibe to it. It is what I expect a mom making. I appreciated that the summer roll had a pork option. I also liked that they offer more veggies if you want. The service was good. They left me alone, but they were helpful if asked. They have booster seats with a buckle if you ask. Very busy on a Friday night for dinner!

Good pho place in Kapolei. Why take off a star? Honestly, the Chicken Pho did not have a lot of flavor. The restaurant is clean, good place for groups since the table settings are flexible, and there's TVs on both sides advertising some items you wouldn't even consider ordering, which is great marketing! I was also pretty grateful they allowed me to sit my son in his car seat on a chair and block one pathway so that I could enjoy my dinner comfortably. Service was impressive, he memorized everything we ordered without even writing it down. And we didn't just ordered pho, we ordered a couple of sides too! I ordered chicken pho and my husband ordered a regular pho with different cuts of beef in it. I was disappointed that the chicken pho did not have a lot of flavor. Honestly, I just ate it because it was hungry but it was pretty bland. Although, my husbands pho was decent. Again, both were okay, nothing special. So that's why I gave them three stars. It's because you eat pho on a cold, rainy night like this because it's supposed to hit the spot...these didn't! Disappointingly... Really do wish the broth had more flavor to make the dinner memorable. And I believe everyone at the table didn't have much to say either. Like the food was okay...but it could be better.

Pho 97 One has us coming back time and time again. My coworkers love it so much, they stop by at least once a week!! The service is always fast and friendly while everything always tastes so good. I've been to other pho places where the pho doesn't have taste, but theirs definitely does. The medium is really filling! Just when I think I ran out of beef, I find more in my bowl. For $17-ish it's totally worth the price. I like that there's a lot of parking right out front. The restaurant is also nice and clean. When it comes to pho in Kapolei, they're the best place to go!

I was fighting a cold or virus or something that made for a less than enjoyable vacation. Whenever I feel sick, one of my go to home remedies is some kind of pho so I was so happy to find some relief at Pho 97 One in Kapolei! Their pho broth was exactly what I needed which made my heart, stomach and sinuses oh so happy! Now that I've been there I know where to go the next time I'm there. The service was just right and the place good pretty packed on this slightly drizzly day so it was reassuring to see so many people enjoying their warm bowls of love! Parking is easy and conveniently just outside the front door. The dining room is spacious and the tables were cleared very quickly to keep their customers happy. Go Pho their goodness and you'll be so happy you went! Please go pho me too since I can't go until I go back for another vacation again!

Tons of free parking is always a plus. Stopped by for a quick lunch while we were in the area. The crispy noodle with seafood was huge. Didn't have enough gravy tho so we ate a lot of the crispy noodle plain. The chicken wings and spring rolls were yummy. The Thai iced coffee was nice and strong just the way we like it. It was ok. I'd go back to try something new.

Yup, it's our favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Kapolei... for several reasons. The food is exceptional, as is the service. We feel like family here. Parking is plentiful too. The restaurant is always super clean and cozy. Being a rather chilly winter evening, we were grateful that the AC was off.

Worked late the other night...noodle salad and eggroll was very satisfying
Edith S.

Worked late the other day. When I left the office, it seemed a bit dark out. Thought to myself, I'm hungry. Hardly any traffic and so I cut over three lanes as I thought, the vermicelli bun would satisfy my need to eat a salad but I want noodles and fried eggroll. When I first pulled into the parking lot, it was empty and wasn't sure they were open even if the Open neon sign was on. But yay! They had two patrons having dinner. I guess they parked in the other side of the building. Sat down and glad I knew what I wanted as the dinner crowd trickled in about 5-mins later. Everything is expensive but the food appears less expensive than some of the other Vietnamese restaurants nearby. The service was great even as the restaurant was getting busy. The food was good. Very satisfying. And the sun was setting, the restaurant wasn't too loud, rename food channel on TV. Just a great way to unwind from a busy day.

Spring Rolls
Barbara D.

Wow, I haven't been here in 3 years! The broth here is delicious and service was great! The spring rolls are amazing with the crunch but it's not the best I've ever had. We ordered the brisket pho and the brisket flavor really came through in our pho! I love that it's spacious here and there's a lot of parking. Will be back again!

We were in Kapolei on Sunday afternoon and my son reccomended checking this place out. He said someone had mentioned to him that it was really good and they liked it better than Ribs and Broth. I thought why not, I love Pho and trying out new places to eat. When we arrived we were seated right away. There were a few other dinners and the dinning area is pretty spacious, which I like. The staff checked on us often to see if we were ready to put our order in. When we did order the food came out quickly and was piping hot, definite plus! The spring rolls and wings came out first. The wings were delicious! Perfectly crispy outside and juicy tender inside. Also very flavorful. I didn't try the spring rolls because my stomach wasn't feeling all that well but they were a hit with my son. My husband ordered beef stew with rice. You have an option of bread as well. The stew was more of a soup texture but I think that's just the Vietnamese style. It was very flavorful with lots of tender pieces of beef and carrots, no potatoes. The chicken pho was not so good. The broth was very bland even after adding the basil and lemon. I never add hoisen or Sriracha I prefer the natural flavors. I barely had 3 bites and could not finish it. I was so disappointed. My son ordered the beef pho and he enjoyed it. He said he doesn't think it's better than Ribs and Broth but it was good. I don't think I would return and if I did it definitely wouldn't be for the pho, lol. I'll stick to my Bale chicken pho or Ribs and Broth.

brisket pho
Schawnee G.

Been here twice now! Tried booth spring and summer rolls both very delicious. I usually just get brisket pho the medium is huge i always have leftovers to take home. The servers are quick and usually don't wait around long for anything. I would check out the menu before going because they will come to your table as soon as you're seated to ask what you want lol. Thai tea here is super good too. Will continue to go here

The meat quality here is great. The service is great. Aunty squeeze a rubbah chicken and sing one…read morecousin happy birthday to the whole restaurant and one brother next to our table gone tell "cheeeehooooo!" Like 3 times. Really though... casual vibe. Good broth choices and a lot of meat and non meat options. They have everything from premium meats to fish ball, lobster ball, tofu (curd, fried, soft) to tofu skins (one of my fave). Shrimp, shellfish, shu mai, gyoza, etc. greens! Yeah spinach, bok Choy, mushrooms... button, shiitake, oyster, emoji, I'm telling you - so many options. And I love the sauce bar. They got may favorites - goma (sesame), chili, garlic, cilantro and green onion. Cannot go wrong w some fresh grated ginger and shoyu too. $40 per person isn't bad. We didn't get the Taiwan snow (shave ice with mochi) but they had some tapioca (taro, strawberry and plain)...I tried. It's ok. I left feeling happy and got the fried sesame balls filled w bean paste.

BEST. HOT POT. ON. OʻAHU…read more If you love hot pot and haven't been to Aunty's Hotpot, you are seriously missing out. The broths are so flavorful, the ingredients are fresh, and the whole experience is just so fun. It's the perfect place to come with friends, share food, and leave completely full and happy. But the real star of the place is Aunty. She is hands down the cutest and funniest woman ever. Her personality makes the whole restaurant feel warm and welcoming. She treats everyone like family and makes the experience 10x better. You can tell she truly cares about her customers and wants everyone to have a great time. The customer service here is honestly some of the best on the island. Great food, amazing vibes, and the kind of place you keep coming back to. If you're on Oʻahu and love hot pot, this place is a must. Trust me -- once you go, you'll understand why everyone loves Aunty.

I've never been more sad writing a critical review for any place before…read more We love the food here. We're regulars at pretty much every location they have. But this location is disappointing. Not in the food, but in the service. They always short change you on the quantity of food when you take out.

Not into Japanese curry but joined some friends for dinner. Was planning to enjoy popcorn at movies…read moreso daughter, who frequents this loc advised me to eat the croquettes with curry sauce and rice for a light dinner. Had a long wait since there were six of us, even though we said we would split up into two tables. I understand waiting is common at this loc. Menu is great like most Japanese restaurants because it has pictures of the dishes. Got the croquettes with curry sauce and rice as daughter recommended. Was delicious! Curry sauce - I ordered mild - was very good. Food came relatively quickly but not immediately. Croquettes were just tasty mashed potatoes and the crispy breading was great. Didn't eat much rice since there that so much starch/carbs sincei was saving room for popcorn later but the rice was also very good. One friend had curry udon and a piece of katsu from her husband's meal. She said that's what she usually gets (she is a noodle fan). I would actually come back to try other dishes now that I've tasted the curry sauce if I can figure out how to avoid long waits. Not sure that's possible but I plan to try.
