Food and service is always a 10/10 ! The drive from Waikoloa is always worth it ! I will always recommend this place !

Kalbi was horrible , few pieces were just pure fat that was total inedible. Greedy stingy expensive place.

Pho Kim An - #5 Pho Tai Chin - Vietnamese Near Me - Waimea, Hawaii

Pure silliness. Aka Dxxb!!! I wanted steak and tendon. She said it's $3 more. So $19.50 + $3. On the menu there is a pho combo with steak , brisket and tendon $19.50. And I said no need put the brisket. She said that would be $3 more. Cause tendon is more expensive. I said just put the same Amount of tendon. No need put more. And she was confused. So I said just order the $19.50 steak , brisket and tendon and I will take out the brisket. Hope this makes sense to others. read more

Best pho broth on island, meat was lowkey a little questionable:/ Ample parking, located in main waimea shopping center, and definitely your typical pho place ambiance. Okay service but that's expected. I always try to stop here when up north island read more

Reviewing again because I wanted to add more pictures. My opinions haven't changed, still think the food here is 'ono. Service is good here too. And its a small comfortable place with a lot of seating, so that's a plus. Support small businesses by eating at the non-corporate restaurants here. read more

So very very good! Tucked in a strip mall. Family run. Straight forward and inclusive menu. Wonderfully prepared Lacks nothing read more

Located on a strip mall across from McDonalds in HI. Less than 10 tables and a simple menu with various protein based Pho. I ordered the combo beef pho which was averaged priced at $16. The bowl of Pho was decent and flavorful for the price. All was good until we saw a baby roach walking on the wall next to our table. Thai Ice tea comes in a can and was ice cold with a thin layer of frost (Excellent). Plenty of parking. read more

Good food, average portion size but on the more expensive side for sure, particularly for the Chinatown area. Pho and Bun were both $17. Lots of veggies with the Pho. The Bun was good. Spring rolls definitely homemade. No complaints really except the price. There are better options for the price. But there are definitely worse options as well for quality and taste. read more

Sat at our table for 14 minutes before we were asked by the waitress if we were picking up? No, we are dining in, she rudely gave us menus and walked away. Didn't ask if we wanted anything to drink. Sat for another 10 minutes before. Then we left. We won't be back ever. Rude and poor service. read more

While I admit there is no ambiance do this little restaurant hidden in corner of small shopping area behind the main shopping center; the food is delicious. Their menu keeps expanding so there are many dishes I have not yet tried but my husband and I come for their fabulous pho. The bowl comes full of rice noodles and a delicious broth with tender meat floating on top. It is served with a plate of bean sprouts and fresh basil to add as you like and some different sauces to dip the meat in. Service is friendly and water glasses continually refilled. If I have any requests it would be to expand their drink menu. read more

Avoid at all costs. By far the worst Vietnamese food i've ever had in my entire life. In any larger city, this shop would have gone bankrupt within the first week. Google any pho recipe and you'll probably end up making a better dish your first attempt ever than whatever these guys are doing read more

Placed a takeout order at the counter for the grilled chicken and rice plate. Order came out ahead of promise. The bag seemed light and I was worried that the serving size was small. But there was more than enough chicken for one person and it was very tasty and well prepared. Not overcooked or undercooked; it was just right. Large scoop of rice and a small salad on the side. Neighbors had recommended it and I'll go back. read more

Let's face it folks we are on the Big Island and not a lot of Vietnamese restaurants here. This one is EXCELLENT!! One of the best crispy ducks ever! The spring rolled are served authentic with lettuce and fresh basil and great dipping sauce. Great prices too. Service was not the best, I agree with other reviews that the lady serving needs to brush up her hospitality skills, too bad to be upsetting people with bad service who then will not come back. Hey Owner!! Do something about that. read more

The rare steak pho had good tender steak, but the soup was overloaded with salt and sugar. The service was definitely below average. The server never came by to check to see whether we needed something else. He did not bring the check at the end, but stood behind the counter and yelled out the price. read more

Seriously amazing Pho. I ordered the oxtail pho and I have been craving it since we had it last week. I took pictures before they brought it out of our sandwich and dressings and forgot to take a photo of our pho. ‍ all the food was delicious and we ate it very fast. Amazing!! read more

The beef rib pho was the best. I absolutely loved it. So tender and soft. I'll definitely return for more.

Food was ok SERVICE (server) sucked she was super rude and acted like we were bothering her by being in there .. we met up with a group of ohana to celebrate my dead brother's birthday and that lady was just all around rude Id suggest they get someone more pleasant in there id eat there again if she wasn't working ... I've worked in customer service and you don't treat people like that especially when they've been in that industry and understand what busy is and isn't .... We normally tip really good but with this experience I regret tipping at all read more

Was so excited to eat Vietnamese food on the Big Island and were happy to find this restaurant in Waimea, but we were overall disappointed. When we arrived, we were told the restaurant was short staffed and wait times would be longer. This wasn't an issue for us as we were in no rush. By the time we were seated, we were ready to place our order, but we're told to wait, again because they were short staffed. Again, we said no problem. After we were able to order and got our food we had high hopes for the quality but were disappointed. Our pho was bland, noodles were hard, and we didn't get condiments or our veggie plates that typically go with pho. We didn't leave satisfied. read more

Shrimp summer rolls delicious and fast I called early n it was ready for pick up It has a peanut sauce that's amazing read more

We stopped by for lunch after going to the farmers market in town. The service was good and the food was great. We especially liked the pho.

One of the greatest things about Vietnamese food is the diversity and flavor of vegetables and how they are prepared and mixed together. This place does not believe in vegetables. There may be 1 vegetarian item on the menu. But I'm an omnivore, my wife is the vegetarian, so in an act of kindness during my sickness she got me chicken noodle soup, phở gà. They could not make vegetable broth so she suffered and did not get anything. It was very overpriced, and came with a good amount of noodles, and decent broth, but a pathetic tiny bag of mung beans, basil, and one sorry jalapeño slice. If you are just looking for a bowl of meat, at a high price, this may be your place. But if you are looking for Vietnamese phở, save the money and drive to Hilo. read more

Pho Kim An - phở gà - Vietnamese Near Me - Waimea, Hawaii

First time here, nice to see a pho restaurant in Waimea. The restaurant is in a busy strip mall. Parking was fairly easy. Ordered the number 7 pho which has most of the meats included. The broth was pretty diluted lacking any real flavor. Tasted like chicken stock mostly to me. Portion of meat and noodles was meek. The basil, sprouts and chili's were also sparse. Had a Vietnamese iced coffee that was weak and flavorless. Have to say the portions, lack of flavor and overall experience gets 3 stars. I believe with a bit more effort in the product it could be a winner. Going to keep going to Hilo for pho in the meantime. read more

Aloha! The food is OK as we are from Orange County, California. It isn't bad. However, I agree with other reviews on here that the service is quite awful. This review is intended for the owner. I sincerely hope the lady serving us is not your wife nor family as she seems upset that she had to wait on customers. No smile, always seemed we were bothering her. I recommend you replace your staff unless she is your wife or daughter :( Hopefully not. Also.. we are Vietnamese! I know Siracha is hard to come by these days, but keep the bottle on the table! read more

This is our new favorite spot! My husbands go to is #7 All Meat Pho and I love the Plain Pho and egg roll cold noodle. Soup is delicious with generous portions of meat and veggies. Glad they opened in Waimea, wooohoooo!!! read more

I ordered pho dac biet, number #7 and the broth is 10/10. This was the best pho I had so far in the big island. The portion size is pretty good as well. I have been deprived of pho for that last few month normally in sf I have pho once a week. I'm so happy I found this place and will recommend this to anyone that is looking for authentic pho in the big island. read more

Food is always excellent, and service is friendly. It's not a high class restaurant, but we always have an intimate and really enjoyable meal there. We have been going since they opened and they are very consistent. read more

I ate there, the server was the guy he was really rude. Sorry have to walk away. Really bad customer service

Very good Pho in our little town of Kamuela. Broth delicious and condiments fresh. The spring and summer rolls were great and we ordered the soft shell crab for the first time and it was great. Super crispy with a tasty dipping sauce. read more

Great food & Service. My husband had chicken pho, I had grilled shrimp and rice noodles. Both came with excellent homemade sauces. We also had the shrimp vegetable rolls & the pork egg rolls. One serve Penutian sauce; the other with a very light sweet & sour sauce. Flavors we excellent. Ambience was nice with quiet music with went well with a cup of hot tea on a rainy evening in April. read more

The Pho is really good here but the waitress (we've had her a couple times) seems to be very grouchy. The cook and or owner that brought our food out was very nice. Again I loved the food so I am still giving this place a decent review. Maybe that lady just didn't like the way my family looked or something. We still left her a generous tip so maybe she'll be nicer next time? We hope to be back over the next few weeks while we're here on the Big Island. read more

Good broth, not too over powering. They gave a lot too and it came out fast and piping hot. read more

Pho Kim An located in the Waimea KTA Shopping center. You'll never go wrong with Vietnamese cuisine. Always fresh, filling and healthy. Not to mention savory and delicious. If you've never tried it before, believe it or not, everything on the menu is delicious. read more

I really love and enjoy a could bowl of PHO very comforting food the only downside to there business would be false advertisement on their site is their vegetable spring rolls are displayed as their fried ones which they're not I ordered some spring rolls tonight and they're what we call summer rolls but I guess this PHO company calls their (summer rolls ) fried ones and their spring rolls (their summer rolls) that's the only down side of their business!!! I was really looking forward to eating some fried rolls!!!! read more
