    Got the medium combo pho and a viet coffee. Broth is very flavorful, just wished they gave a little bit more meat and added tripe into the "combo." Viet coffee was too sweet, which you can tell by the color, which is why I deducted a star.

    9. Beef Meatballs & Steak Pho

    Pho is one dish I can eat almost every day. My favorite place to get pho is Kapolei Pho. They are the sister company to Pho Waipahu which I also like but if I had to choose, I would definitely come to Pho Kapolei. The service there is always wonderful and I love how clean and cozy the restaurant is. Of course the pho is delicious and always on point.

    Using your noodles... After some shopping that's most definitely cardio it was much needed break for some lunch and taking mom it's a no brainer that she wanted some pho and not quite familiar with the area I did a Yelp search to have found Pho Kapolei located in Kapolei Village Center which a lovely spot filled with so much to choose from including Foodland but thankfully we decided on Pho Kapolei and with a decent amount of free parking available it was an easy spot to choose. Walking in the restaurant is quite cute and cozy with a few tables their menu offering is quite impressive with quite a lot of varieties to choose from and and can see where I get the indecisiveness from as mom hopped from pho to summer rolls to bánh mì but ended up with Tofu Vegetable Pho and with that decided on the BBQ Chicken & Spring Rolls Vermicelli. Honestly I ordered that because she wanted spring rolls but are able to only eat one and I didn't want to order a whole set and thought it was more practical though wished that the other vermicelli dishes came with it too but it didn't and was offered to order a la carte pieces which was a turn off. She liked her pho but thought it lacked some flavor in her opinion while I did enjoy mine as the chicken was nice and juicy while spring rolls were crispy and hot the amount of sauce given was quite the insult as it didn't come close to flavor the entire dish as a one ounce ramekin is quite stingy and ended up eating my dish dry without sauce. Yes I could've asked for more but the standard was very minimal though the restaurant was nice and clean it seemed like the single friendly staff was doing it all and seemed overwhelmed. Thank you!

    Vermicelli bowl with spring rolls and bbq chicken
    Janey T.

    When we were picking up dinner for my friend's husband, we decided to try this place out since we were craving Vietnamese food. She's never had a vermicelli bowl so i had to have her try one. The spring rolls were so crunchy and yummy! The sauce could have been more potent, it tasted a little watered down/lacked flavor. I like my sauce to be a little more fishy. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the vegetables were fresh! I'd recommend if you're in the area to try this place!

    The city of Kapolei on Oahu is my new Mecca for pho. Kapolei is a little bit out of the way for this townie but I'd be happy to take that 20 minute drive. Thanks to Yelp's recommendation, I discovered a second Vietnamese pho restaurant with a truly beefy tasting broth. It's a fatty, beefy mildly sweet and herbie soup that's awesome on its own. Don't need to squirt the hoisin to bring up the flavor like in those other places. Pho Kapolei is at a mini mall on Kapolei Parkway, in between Costco and Kapolei High School. It seats about 25 people and has the AC cranked up. The gentleman running the front had it going smooth. My food order came quickly. Everyone dining in was given equal attention. The take-out orders were handled efficiently. The

    Beef Meatballs Pho ($16.95 for medium): the broth is good!
    Jack W.

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE There are cheaper options for pho in town, but if you're in Kapolei and have a hankering for Vietnamese food, this should be an option for you. Note: there is no keiki menu, so be prepped to share if you dine with a little one! === 2. FOOD Summer Rolls ($11.95) Well-wrapped, decent crunch, seemingly done fresh, served with lukewarm peanut sauce - yum! Beef Meatballs Pho ($16.95 for medium size) Three meatballs cut in half to produce six pieces - it was good to share with my little guy and the broth was decent too - even he wanted more of it :) Steak, Brisket, Tendon Pho ($16.95 for medium size) Similar story here too - good broth, good dish! === 3. SERVICE We dined in and the service was good from ordering to receiving our dishes, refill of waters. They spoke in English (thankfully) but also Mandarin it seems too. === 4. ENVIRONMENT Bright and clean, we were comfortable dining in with a little one. You might be able to fit a group of 8 if needed but likely want to stick with a group of four or less in this place. Wheelchairs and baby strollers would not have an issue here. Parking is as good as your luck is in the shopping complex lot out front - which is often a little busy in the evenings!

    Medium brisket pho
    Jeannie R.

    My family and I dined here last night, and the experience was excellent. I ordered a medium brisket pho, which was outstanding--the brisket was tender, and the broth had a rich, balanced flavor. I also appreciated the vibrant, green interior décor, with healthy plants that created a refreshing and positive atmosphere. The service was attentive as well; our water glasses were consistently refilled without needing to ask.

    Waygu pho and spring rolls
    Lionel Q.

    First time dinning in and right off the bat menu and water came right to the table ordered some summer rolls and some spring roll both was fresh and hot not saggy like some other spot, For the pho it's was hella good broth was real good and dammm it was almost clear to the point you could see the bottom of the bowl but in all the waygu pho a must if you dropping in to eat highly recommend it coming back asap on the next lunch time....

    Came here as a recommendation from a coworker and I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED! First impression is this place is super clean! Made me feel confident that my food was prepared in a clean kitchen. My friend recommended the BBQ chicken and vermicelli. After talking with the owner, she suggested I get it with spring rolls. It took about 10 minutes to cook which meant it was fresh. The plate was huge! The veggies were fresh and showed no signs of being old or wilted. The vermicelli wasn't over/under cooked. The chicken were good cuts of meat, and the rolls were nice and crispy = broke da mout! Overall it came just over $18, well worth it. Definitely will be a repeat customer.

    Shrimp Papaya salad
    Shana Q.

    Went in on a Saturday evening and sat right down on a booth. Service was fast The waitress took our order and brought out our waters and food. Having a grandmother who lived in Saigon and only made vietnamese cuisines this pho was spot on! Definitely the best broth I've had. The Papaya salad was so flavorful and gave the right kick. The only dish that was disappointing was the fried chicken. It was plain and salty, wasn't a favorite. Another thing was the waitress misheard one of our orders, my husband ordered the bbq plate but they gave him a bbq banh mi. We didn't make a fuss and just ate it. It was really good.

    Tried this place for the first time and we are glad we did! The nearest Vietnamese restaurant to our home unfortunately closed and he haven't found a good one yet. Husband got the Pho and I got the vermicelli noodles with pork and spring rolls. Food is delicious! Service was good! We will come back!

    Bone in Short rib Pho!!!! The FLAVOR of the broth was AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL!!!!!!

    Some of my favorites!!!! Sooo goooddd 10/10. I've always had a bad experience with pho and I wanted to finally open up to trying it again. The many times I've dined in I always tuck to my rice plate or my vermicelli bowls. U till I finally ask the Server Tin to recommend a pho for me to try. He recommended this one and it did not disappoint. So good I could just eat the broth with rice lol. Good vibes , great service and damn good meal.

    51. Fried Rice Chicken
    Elyssa T.

    First time customers to this hole in the wall gem in Kapolei. We came here because we were craving Vietnamese food and this place hit the spot! You can dine in and get served quickly. Instead we opt for takeout. Food was reasonably priced with each plate being more than $10, which seems average nowadays. For these 3 plates, the total was under $50. Obviously the spring rolls went by fast. As for the other plates, they were big portions so we were able to have leftovers for another day. The chicken fried rice looked a bit dry but it actually tasted pretty good. The lemongrass chicken rice plate tasted amazing and will be a dish we will return for more. We can't wait to try more dishes!

The garlic chili paste has definitely leveled up in heat since my last visit--noticeably spicier but still packed with that deep, garlicky punch. It's truly one-of-a-kind, and one of the main reasons this place stands out from the many pho restaurants I've tried. No one else does it. They also serve Vietnamese iced coffee the traditional way--with sweetened condensed milk and coffee that you mix yourself. Most places pre-blend it and serve it over ice, but here you get the full experience, exactly how it's meant to be enjoyed. For food, I ordered the chicken pho, while my boyfriend went with the combination pho. Both bowls were very good. The broth leaned on the lighter side flavor-wise, but it was clean, comforting, and generously filled with tender chicken pieces in my bowl. My boyfriend really enjoyed his combination pho, which came loaded with a variety of meats. The side garnishes were plentiful and fresh--lemon wedges, bean sprouts, basil, and even culantro, which is a nice touch you don't see at most pho spots. We also ordered the spring rolls. Two rolls cut in half, crispy on the outside but a bit doughy inside. Flavor-wise they were pretty mild--okay, but not a standout. Service was fast and friendly, which made the experience even better. It was quiet when we arrived around 10:45 AM, but by the time we left, most of the restaurant had filled up--always a good sign. Overall, a comforting, nostalgic visit with some familiar favorites and a few subtle changes. Still worth stopping by, especially for that garlic chili paste and iced coffee. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

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.
