    Overall a solid place! Have been coming here for years and it's never disappointed! Ordered my usual bowl of beef pho, and spring and summer rolls! Service was quick and friendly and the food showed up shortly after, piping hot! Everything was solid and no complaints for no frills and just solid food!

    20. Brisket Pho is my fave!
    Tina J.

    We come here often- owner is super nice - food tastes home cooked. Service is excellent and restaurant has mom and pops comfy food feels ambiance. I highly recommend for comfort food!

    Beef ribs pho!! Ono!

    Tai has been the owner for over a year now. He renamed the place and renovated and painted the restaurant. The establishment looks cleaner and more spacious than the previous owner who owned it. The menu has expanded, and the quality of food has gotten better. Tai is a friend of mine and I have enjoyed eating at his restaurant since he took over. He has the best bun bo hue on the island. You must try it and you'll know what I mean please support local and give our small business owners some hope for success in a very difficult business field. Aloha!

    Food was tasty, authentic, and the portions were good. There was a little miscommunication due to language barrier, but if you point at the menu or know the number you want, that takes care of that. Drinks were yummy!

    Shrimp papaya salad
    Abigail A.

    Would definitely dine here again. Love their papaya salad, and the bhan mi. So glad that I found the spot for those two dishes! Well timed service as well, with not so much loud music.

    I've been here more times then I can count ^.^ they're friendly and everything here just taste so good. Pho is one of the best on the island ! I always comes for the pho and sandwiches !

    Haven't been here in a while but thought I'd give them a try again and I wasnt disappointed. Take out service was better. Had to call 4 times before someone picked up but ordering was easy, and accurate. Prices went up considerably, as with everywhere else. Good quality is excellent. In restaurant, they are very pleasant and appreciate your business. I look forward to supporting this business and ordering again.

    Spring rolls
    Angel P.

    We always come here every week! Tai the server is always so warm and inviting with his cordial personality! We always sit at the same table! And we always get the same things (Thai tea, Bon bo hue with side order meatballs, spring rolls and the the Banh Mi with extra pâte). It's AMAZING! Will be coming here for a long time! Tai also remembers our order all the time and he remembered it after the second time we came in!!!! :)) Pho Bistro is the best!!! You have to try it!!

    Beef steak and brisket
    Deloney D.

    I've eaten pho all over this island. Outside of Chinatown, this is the best pho with the best broth. Recently they've done some renovations. So it's even nicer inside: open and clean with bright paint. Service is always fast and friendly. I come here often!!

    Clean and spacious
    A D.

    Okay for the area.. service was exceptional... pho not as authentic... clean spacious place to eat .. I would recommend this place

    30. Beef Short Rib Pho
    Saedy T.

    Short rib pho was sooooo good I had to go back 2 days in a row. The both is very flavorful! They don't hold back on the rice noodles either. Definitely my go to pho spot while on Oahu!

I pay for my order and then that's it. No "Thank you", "Have a nice day!" Just silence. So already the customer service is pretty shitty. I get home and open up my container and then I'm like wtf, the shrimp were all cut in half. Why would they even do that. That shit is so weird. You basically put like 4 shrimp in my plate and cut it in half. The salad came with 2 sauces, a sweet chili and a watery one I thought was fish sauce. I put the watery one on and it was so sweet. I was like wtf is this!? Plus the papaya was so tough. That salad was so junk so now they are 2 for 2 for bad papaya salad. I'll remind myself to NEVER go there again. I would give them one star but my son said their pho was alright so they get two. However if you're looking for good papaya salad and good customer service, this place ain't it.

Of course we parked at the end of the lot furthest from the restaurant but that's all right because we need the exercise. I have been to several other Thai Village locations and the food has been pretty good. Not so much at this one, though. We ordered the shrimp rolls, which are the uncooked ones. They were ok. Daryl had a major heart attack a couple years ago in Las Vegas so has been trying to eat a little healthier. We also ordered the green curry with chicken and the pad see ew with chicken. Both dishes were not thrilling. Of all the Thai Villages I have been to, this was not the one which I would consider the best. I think the ones in Aiea and Kapalama are a lot better.

She loves going to temples and loves Thai food so I definitely was excited to explore this temple together. Based on the address on Yelp, I got lost for a good 10-15 minutes. I almost gave up but luckily spotted it and had to do a U turn and we finally arrived. So I arrived 10 minutes before the food stalls closed but honestly they stayed opened a bit longer than their closing time. As I saw ppl arrive even later and was able to still make purchases. I do have to say that they do start cleaning, and not everything is available as things were being sold out. They have a table for you to grab utensils and condiments. There are some tables you can sit and eat the food that you purchase. Most of the food I purchased was about $10 each. And you pay each stall that you are at. My mom and I enjoyed everything we ordered, if only we were staying in Hawaii more days, we would definitely come back or even order more. The hard part is that they do not have a website and they are not open every Sunday either. So try calling or just randomly go and pray that it will be opened. I honestly really enjoyed my visit. Both a cool temple to go see and being able to eat authentic Thai food it was an extra bonus. 2 thumbs up from this Yelper. I highly recommend coming here if you have not been. Ordered: *Fried Bananas *Papaya Salad (you can request how spicy you want this) *Pork noodle soup *Sugar Cane Juice *Fish Cake *Water Bottle $1 *Pork spare rib Tips: *Cash Only *Restroom available. *Outside temple street parking in the dirt or pull in and try your luck to find parking.

Other Thai restaurants pack their curry with filler, but this place doesn't! Their curry is the absolute best and their staff are always welcoming snd friendly. I would just go here for the great food alone, but the great staff makes it with an easy 5 stars. Parking is a little rough here, but that's because people are always eating here so you may need to pack a little far away. There is only one handicap stall, and so be ready to walk a little. Pricing is fair. Things have definitely gone up, but if you want cheap Thai food you won't get this kind of quality. I easily spend $50 to $100 on two people when I eat here so it's more of a treat and not an every day meal. It's great food and so I only get to treat myself when I can afford it. We can't live in luxury every day, and this Thai food is definitely a luxury!

The green curry was so awful tasting that we didn't eat it. I've never had green curry that didn't even taste like thai green curry like this. Not sure if fill in cook at lunchtime or what but it didn't even have coconut cream in the sauce. Had to take home to fix this problem, worst ever and would never recommend. Same with the Pad Si-Ew. Totally flavorless! You could tell they just threw it together with precooked pork, precooked broccoli, and tossed it onto the noodles barely fried in a dead sauce of nothing. Another total failure. Do not recommend this or any if this is how they prepare their food. Rice was standard. Will never return to this location again. Can't imagine where or how the good reviews came from but from our experience, they weren't even close.
