Great service per my wife as we do take out here. The pho was good but not comparable to Oahu or California. The price was inline with all the other Vietnamese places. Overall a solid place for Vietnamese food with great service! read more

Pho Kapaa - Vietnamese Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Paid by card. Pho Kapaa is located in a small plaza and offers plaza parking. I went here with a party of 4 on a Saturday night for dinner and it was packed. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated. The staff was nice and it seemed like a lot of locals went here. My party and I ordered a chicken pho, a couple stir-fry dishes, and a bun with shrimp, pork, and egg roll. We ended up waiting an hour for our food, and even at that hour mark, the egg rolls that were supposed to come with the bun were not ready so I asked them to take it off the bill. The food was not worth waiting for. I wouldn't recommend this place because of the slow service and the food wasn't that good. read more

We came around 2:30 p.m. on a Sunday right after flying in and were looking for something warm and soupy. The space is big and spacious with simple decor. It's located in the same shopping area as the Safeway in Kapaa, so it's easy to find. The menu is pretty standard for a pho spot. We ordered the chicken pho and bun bo hue. Prices are definitely higher than on the mainland (about $5-10 more), which I guess is expected for Kauai since I'm sure they have to import most of the stuff. The food came out within 5 mins or so. The bun bo hue was a bit non-traditional -- oxtail instead of pig trotter, no blood cake, and thin noodles instead of the usual thicker ones. The broth was pretty average, if albeit salty. The oxtail was super fatty. The broth wasn't hot enough to cook the meat slices. Average experience. It satisfied the need but likely won't come here again. read more

Owner was super friendly, only two spot in this island for Pho, and this one is by far superior and fresh. If you are craving pho, this is your spot. Aloha! read more

Great spot for a cold, windy day. The soup was good and full of flavor, and the food came out quickly. We arrived at 7:45 pm on a Sunday, they are open until 8:30 pm. We received our food before 8:00 pm which was nice as we were definitely hungry. The staff was friendly and helpful. There's also a good amount of dine-in seating available, which is nice since it's close and right in the heart of Kapaa town. My son had no complaints about his fried rice (which he order with no vegetables of course). And I really enjoyed the summer rolls and peanut sauce--came with 2 rolls, and it was fresh. My husband & daughter ordered the #10: Rare Steak Noodle Pho, which they savored & devoured every last bit. We do wish the soup portions were a little larger, especially because we really enjoyed our Pho. Overall this is our favorite Kauai Pho spot. Check it out, hope you like it too! read more

A quaint little pho restaurant located in a strip mall with playing parking. The staff here are very friendly. The portion size is a bit small for the price. I ordered the Pho Combination. They do provide a generous portion of basil and bean sprouts though! Overall, a decent place to eat. read more

Had a serious craving for Pho with a sore throat on a rainy Kauai evening and I couldn't have been happier with our selection! My chicken Pho was so tasty and the broth was spot on.

Pho Kapaa - Chicken Pho yummmm - Vietnamese Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Quite possible this is the best Pho I have ever had! We had take out, chicken pho, absolutely delicious!

Been coming here off and on since 2014. The prices have changed astronomically, but we live in expensive place... so it tracks. Food is good, wait time is minimal, and staff is friendly. read more

While the service was good, the $25.99 Bun Bo Hue was not. It was bland and they already included the vegetables to make it look full. The meats were same as the combination pho except for the added oxtail. I have eaten many Bun Bo Hue in my life and this one was at the bottom. There might be a food safety issue as well. I am sitting in my car with the view of the kitchen. The server is using his unwashed ungloved hands to make the vegetables for the pho. read more

Yummy Vietnamese food here. Great friendly customer service and fair price. Been there a few times and definitely recommended.

I haven't been back since the new year. New prices. I tried a new dish and wasn't impressed - the fried rice. Their pho has always been good, but I haven't tried it in a few months. read more

We are from Little Saigon area of CA so for us, this was a decent Vietnamese restaurant but food was meh. We had the birds nest noodles with beef, lemon grass banh mi, summer ( spring) rolls. The noodles for the birds nest dish were not the ones I expected, instead of the thicker, crispy light noodles these were skinny and hard, very crunchy but not the ones we usually have with this dish; the sauce was good but bit salty and the meat was hard. The summer rolls were average and the banh mi was flavors of meat didn't blend well, like not marinated enough and was hard. Maybe for other dishes would be better but what we had was not that great, just ok. read more

Our family go to for dine-in or take out. One of our regular favorites! Excellent food and a/c on a warm day! Service is always perfect

Stopped by Pho Kapaa and really enjoyed the pho. The broth was hot, flavorful, and came out super fast -- still steaming when it hit the table. Nothing better than a piping hot bowl of soup. Service was quick and efficient. I'd consider coming back next time I'm in the area. read more

Pho Kapaa - Pho w/ steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

This little spot was just what we needed after arrival from the mainland. We had a late lunch/ early dinner here. First walking in we could smell some thing good from the kitchen. We tried lots of different dishes among the 6 of us. Service was very welcoming and friendly. It was a tad slow but really quite normal for "island time" I just needed to adjust my mainland mentality. This is a family friendly place with good food, generous portions and decent prices. Would definitely visit again. read more

The food was terrific! You could tell they used fresh ingredients. I had a tofu bahn mi sandwich and the vegetarian pho. Both terrific! Service was great too. Ambiance could have used some more authentic music, rather than easy listening music. read more

Surprisingly good pho. Broth was rich and aromatic. Noodles were thicker than typical pho places, and was given lemon instead of lime. In a cold rainy day in Kauai, really hit the spot. Pricey, but not abnormal for this island. Bun bo hue is subpar. Papaya salad was great. read more

The pho was delicious and great customer service. Ordered as take out and everything was thoughtfully packaged.

Kiddos were missing their noodle soups and Pho Kapaa is located close to our hotel. Arrived at around 7:30pm, and we got there right before a line started to form. Hubs ordered the Bun bo Hue which definitely had a kick. Mom ordered the oxtail pho and noted the broth was flavorful but the oxtail pieces were quite fatty and not a lot of meat. Kiddo ordered pho with the rare beef and ate it all up. I ordered the pho with duck - it was ok. Would've liked more duck slices and bamboo shoots. Note - 25% gratuity added for parties of 6 or more. This caught us a little off guard - 20% may be common, but 25%?!? read more

Super friendly, great food really hit the spot on vacation. When I went to pick it up there was a bunch of people sitting down to eat and it was a good vibe in there. read more

We were on vacation and stayed ~5 min away. We came in around 7:30PM (30 min before closing) and I ordered the Pho Combination. We were visiting from LA so my expectations are pretty high. If this was LA, I would probably give 3.5 stars but it's Kaua'i with limited restaurant options so def 4.5 stars. The Pho Combination ($17) came with lots of meat and broth definitely hit the spot after the vacation drinks. The sauce options were not OG sriracha or hoisin, so it felt a bit off but the pho itself it the spot. Service was quick, and our order came out quickly. I'd eat here again if we stay in the area next time! read more

Pho Kapaa - #16 pho mixed meat - Vietnamese Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Food is subpar. I asked if the short ribs were fatty. She said no. They were extremely fatty! It only comes with rice. Some chopped raw cabbage and a few small pcs of tomato and cucumber. For the close to $20 price tag, not worth it. They annoying charge you $.71 if you want to pay by credit card but if you pay cash, it is waived. She blamed the cash register company who set it up that way. Whatever. Service was slow. Maybe I came on the wrong day and ordered the wrong item. read more

If you're looking for pho in Kauai, this place is the way to go! They are owned by Vietnamese people, who know how to cook a pretty decent bowl of pho. My family and I all ordered pho, as well as the papaya salad. I would highly recommend to pass on the papaya salad since it didn't have any meat. It was a little pricey for no reason. The bowls of pho were good, there was a nice pho scent to it and it came out very hot! I will say that the bowls were pretty small, but overall, we were full by the end of the meal. They provided great service and continued to make conversation with us and they were really friendly! Highly recommend this place for pho. read more

Food was excellent and service also. We had the summer rolls, pho with sliced beef and a lemongrass beef sandwich. All were excellent and we left satisfied with the quality, portions and the amount of the bill at the end of the meal. We highly recommend and would definitely go back again! read more

Gave this place a try when I usually go to Pho in Lihue. The portions were small, the taste was bland. Small amount of meat. And the broth wasn't super hot. Prices are really expensive for such small portions. Make the drive to the Pho in Lihue. read more

When your craving a nice warm bowl of soup, definitely check out this little pho restaurants in Kapa'a. They have great service and delicious food. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who lives here of anyone traveling. read more

This restaurant shouldn't even get 1 star but im doing it in order to write my review. This restaurant is a total rip off, $10 for 2 pieces of egg rolls. On top of that they charged $9 for extra veggies and they didn't give a lot only a little bit. To save your time don't come to this restaurant it's a total rip off. read more

So good every time. Happy staff and quality ingredients. Great variety of pho and vermicelli buns

I've visited here twice on different trips. The first thing that draws my attention is that they pretty much don't turn the tables to be ready for the next customer. Almost every table is full of dirty dishes and food until a patron shows up. Then they will clear that specific table. It is such a strange practice. As for the food, there really are not that many options, if at all, for Vietnamese food. Quality is 2 stars for LA bumped up by 1 aloha star here on the island. The food doesn't quite taste authentic but will do in a pinch. read more

Love the new expansion, enough room for everyone. The staff is always friendly and efficient. The pho always hits the spot, the stir fry dishes look so good too. Will have to try other options. read more

Ate here twice while in Kauai for 30 days as there's only so much Hawaiian food a girl can eat! Tried Vietnamese coffee, Thai iced tea, papaya salad, summer rolls, spring roll, beef pho, oxtail pho, lemongrass combination pho, and pork chop with pork patty over rice. We really enjoyed their Vietnamese coffee, papaya salad, beef, oxtail pho and pork chop over rice - authentic Vietnamese is hard to come by on Kauai. The only star I would knock off is wait time for food being served, even with "Hawaii time" considered, we spent more time waiting for our food than consuming it. We also noticed other tables that came after us getting their orders before we did. Overall, I am so glad we stopped by here on a whim! It's your classic no-frills type of ambiance. read more

Pho Kapaa - Vietnamese Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

It's the only pho place we found and it's really expensive. Taste is okay. I wish Kaua'i had good food it's very limited

We ordered whole fish. We were told the fish was tilapia and a lot of bones. What we found out was that the fish was skin and bones but no flesh. it came with a choice of rice or noodles. The noodles were just that boiled no seasoning. If you are considering eating there stick to the pho (We did not try). read more

Located in a large shopping center with plenty of parking spots. This establishment is family run. Great customer service. They were very attentive to our needs. There are also very kind to all the patrons. I saw them also take exceptional care of the patrons' kids that would come in. Just a very nice family run shop. We had the pho and fried eggrolls. The soup was refreshing after a long day. The eggrolls were also crispy and fresh. They serve the pho with a side of bean sprouts and basil leaves. Would highly recommend this location for some refreshing Asian soup read more

My favorite spring rolls and pho on the island! I crave their food...Highly recommend.

After a week on the island with rather limited food options, I was getting homesick and needed some noodle soup. This really hit the spot especially because I was nauseous all day. I was really craving soup so I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place. I don't want to mislead anyone--By LA standards, I'd rate it 2.5-3 stars. I'm Sino-Vietnamese and grew up with Vietnamese food so I'm picky when it comes to pho. The soup was a little blander than I'm used to but it was perfect tonight given my nausea. I got the pho combination and they definitely don't skimp on the meat. By island standards, I'd give it a solid 4 stars. I added an extra star because we actually got there about 20 minutes after closing and they still seated us. We didn't realize they were closed because the open sign was still on. It wasn't until we saw the hours listed on the door that we realized they were supposed to be closed. I couldn't be more appreciative of this Hawaiian hospitality because I was seriously running out of options at 8:20pm. Most restaurants close at 9pm on the island. read more

We found this authentic Vietnamese Pho place and so happy we did! This place seemed to be a favorite with locals because it was packed and they had so many pick up orders it looked like they could hardly keep up but they were! Pho Kapaa is located in a shopping center, free ample parking. We didn't have to wait but by the time we left several parties were waiting for a table. This is not a "fine dining" set up. This is a local restaurant that serves excellent food at reasonable prices. It was challenging to decide what to eat because everything looked so good but we landed on the vegan pho and the bun w lemongrass chicken and egg roll, both were flavorful and generous portions. Would definitely be back again! read more
