Anytime I can find a new Vietnamese restaurant I come across, I'm gonna stop by. This place in Waipahu was an awesome place for lunch. I ordered the pork chops and vermicelli. Both came out flavorful and fresh. Filling and affordable. The staff were welcoming and super friendly. Great service. Lots on the menu to enjoy. I'll be back for the bahn mi. read more

My go to place for banh mi. I've never had an order where my bread wasn't crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I've also never had an order where my sandwich wasn't filled to the brim with savory tender meat and fresh veggies. I always get a couple of other appetizers as well. Somedays I get a side of their delicious broth too. Soup and sandwich you say? Say less. Staff is always always so gracious and patient. They're always so sweet to my daughters. Their customer service is as great as their food. Living in Kapolei, there is no shortage of Vietnamese restaurants but I will go out of my way to get my fix of Vietnamese food from here. read more

The pho was delicious, didn't even need the sauces for it cuz the broth was good on its own. Only thing is their peanut sauce for the spring rolls was rancid and bubbling read more

Late lunch/early dinner in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii... I kind of wanted a salad, but Pho Mai Han was right there at Westgate Center, where I had parked for Teapresso Bar. I thought: I should just eat vermicelli with BBQ pork and spring rolls... it's kind of like a salad with noodles and protein! There were several empty tables in the spacious restaurant because it was an off hour. I was able to choose my own seat, which had menus placed at every table. Service was efficient and polite. The woman worker even commented on my photo taking... LOL! The food was okay. Is there a thing such as over-marinated meat? Or should I say that the pork was very flavorful? The spring roll didn't seem fresh and crunchy. Hmm... maybe the frying oil should be changed? The veggies were fresh and crisp! Noodles were nice and chewy! I should return for the pho one day... read more

The Pho broth is very light and it's missing the beefy taste and the spices that are normally what makes a great broth. The service though is good. read more

Meh. The vermicelli with BBQ pork and spring roll is overpriced AND there's a surprise 3% credit card surcharge (November 2024). The surcharge was not listed on the menu and we were not informed of this fee. Had I known, I would've paid in cash. read more

Service is fast! Food is good. Ambiance is great. I would say to give this place a try at least once

Best Pho outside of San Jose, CA. Broth was so flavorful along with perfectly cooked noodles. I had #17 and my son #10, both large. Very filling size. We also ordered the papaya salad. I didn't try it but wife and kids loved it. My daughter also got a banh mi sandwich with great vegetables on a toasted baguette. She said it was delicious and good sized. She took half back to the Ko Olina resort since not many food options on site. We will definitely come back next time we're on the West Side of Oahu! read more

Pho Mai Han - The best place to go when you party a little hard the night before. - Vietnamese Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

After reading the reviews i decided to give this place a try. I'll be honest, i wasn't impressed at all. The food was mediocre and the service was super slow. I believe this place is family owned. The cashier lady barely spoke English and got orders wrong and orders came out late. My son's katsu chicken curry was t cooked all the way. J saw blood fried into some of the chicken. I brought it up and she argued with me that it was "sauce". I'm sure yellow sauce doesn't turn red but what do i know... anyways the Vietnamese coffee was watered down. Didn't taste good. I threw it out. The combination pho was okay, the noodles for some reason tasted old. Safe to say I will not be going back here. read more

The restaurant features a cozy yet vibrant decor that reflects Vietnamese culture. Soft lighting and traditional artwork create an inviting space perfect for both casual meals. Mai and her staff is friendly and attentive. I always get the large combination pho. The broth is clear, rich and flavorful, simmered to perfection, just the way I like it. Whether you opt for the classic beef pho or the beef and tendon version, each bowl is served steaming hot, accompanied by fresh herbs, jalapeño, and bean sprouts. The noodles are perfectly cooked, providing that delightful chewiness that makes pho so comforting. read more

Pho Mai Han is an often overlooked gem of Vietnamese cuisine in Waipahu. Their pho is generous & authentically seasoned & flavorful. My favorites are the lemongrass chicken bahn mi sandwich that is served with moist & tender chicken & the spring roll & barbecued pork vermicelli salad. Typical of many family owned ethnic restaurants, Pho Mai Han has the ambience of casual family friendly restaurant with high quality Vietnamese dishes that are extremely reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly & polite. It's definitely on my go to list of reasonably priced Vietnamese restaurants on the Leeward side. read more

It's been awhile since I've been here but this time we ordered take out on a rainy day. Pho always the perfect food for a rainy day. This time around we ordered the pork chops and BBQ chicken along with a seafood pho and an order of Crispy spring rolls. I did a phone order and my husband wanted the pork chops and BBQ chicken combo but when I picked it up, I wondered why it costed so much until we got home and opened the plates to see that they gave us a plate of BBQ chicken and a plate of pork chops. My fault cuz I didn't specify. Anyway, as for the food, it was okay. They do give alot of noodles with the pho but the freshness of the shrimp in the pho is a hit or miss because one of the shrimps tasted "fishy." My Husband said the pork chops were ok, nothing special. The spring rolls were the best thing we ordered that day. read more

Our go to Pho restaurant in our neighborhood. Always great tasting and welcoming. Remodeling made it bright and clean.

This was my first time eating pho here. The restaurant is located in the Westgate Shopping Center which is convenient for me since I work 5 minutes away, and today was a great day for pho as it's been overcast with drizzles of rain throughout the morning. I ordered the eye round steak pho (large) and it was surely filling. There were lots of bean sprouts and Thai basil to accompany the pho, and the broth was tasty. The large order is also quite a meal in itself. Atmosphere was simple and quiet. The service was quick and efficient. I love Vietnamese food and will definitely return to try some of the other menu items. read more

We wanted Thai iced coffee or Thai iced tea before shopping and decided to eat lunch here. Inside is much nicer than you'd imagine for this somewhat run down strip mall in the heart of Waipahu. We were there at 10:45 am so we were the only customers. So idk why the waitress forgot to give us our iced coffee. We ate our food and ny this time more tables were occupied. It looks like it has a good following. it's clean and spacious inside. We inquired about our iced coffee and told her to make them to go so we could do our errands. Lunch was $45, dang prices sure went up. It was good, my husband said the pho broth was tasty. Portions are generous too. read more

First time here and they have plenty of tables and chairs to dine in. Very spacious! The food came out quick. I ordered a XL combination pho. It was big, big enough to share, which I did. I was a little disappointed with the broth. It didnt have much taste or flavor. I also ordered a Thai tea which was really sweet, but not disappointing. They also have boba tea available which is really cool and a perfect desert for after your meal. The service was amazing. Will I be back? probably not for pho, but I'd come back for Thai tea and boba. read more

First time here. The interior looks nice and clean and looks fancy as well. There are tables as well as counters and the biggest table can fit 8 people. It's not that busy when we came so we got seated immediately. We received the menu and after a few minutes of thinking.. we decided to order a large rare steak and brisket, short ribs and shrimp and springs rolls. The spring rolls came out first. Followed by the pho and rice plate. The food looked so good so we dig right in (after a few pictures of course). I tried the spring rolls first and it was really good. It went well with the lettuce and rice noodles with the fish sauce dip. The usual spring roll combo. The short ribs came with 3 pieces and the shrimp had 4. I'd wish there was more for the price ($14) but the taste was sooo good. Especially the short ribs. I'd totally recommend. They also have different plates that offer the short ribs so if you're not feeling the shrimp; they also have chicken, pork chop or both. The pho tasted good as well. It's usually depends on the person with what you put in (hoisan, sciracha, lemon, etc.) only down side is that we ordered with no cilantro but they forgot. No biggie though since most of the food was good. All in all the food was good, the staff are also checking in with how the food taste and water refills. I'd say try this place out if you're in the area and craving pho. Don't forgot the free lollipops at the cashier! read more

Unfortunately there was a bug on top of the cucumber that came with the egg rolls. In addition, the egg rolls tasted a day old. Pho was alright. Lady rushed me to order. As soon as I sat down, she asked "what do you want?" in a hurry up tone. read more

Dinner tonight for my early birthday with the my son and one of my twin girls before we head out. My other son loves this place and wanted to share this with them. Their soup for the pho is one of a kind and like no other. They serve from small to large and thei large is huge. Ordered the medium combination, beef brisket pho, vegetable pho, spring rolls and bbq chicken. It was yummolicious. Also, got take out for the wifey and my other son with the same pho. We had a good time together. Thanks for an awesome night Pho Mi Han! read more

Solid bowl of pho! My grandma and I usually split the largest pho bowl they have. I think its around $20 but it does us well. We get the combo and they are pretty generous with the meat amount! I can probably use more soup when taking out but it will do just fine! We also enjoy their spring rolls! Its delicious with the lettuce wrap and noodles and fish sauce. Very nice people running the place. Will be back read more

Still putting out good dishes for Waipahu's neighborhood Vietnamese cuisine and pho. Prices have gone up though a couple bucks from what I've noticed. The mixed bbq plate I ate tonight was $2 more than last time I remembered eating here. Guess the pandemic has hit us all hard. Nevertheless, support your local businesses and restaurants out there. They need to survivor too! read more

Pho Mai Han - BBQ chicken and pork chop! - Vietnamese Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

This place is starting to become a joke! I tried them out again after boycotting their business. First off, phone ordered. 15 minutes to get there then the Clerk says my order would be ready in 7 minutes. 15 minutes later my order comes out. Time estimation by the clerk was way off! Secondly, look at my pic. Again they put noodles right into a paper container. I've asked them so many times to put foil or waxed paper but I guess they don't care if their customers are scraping the paper container just to get to the noodles. Poor customer service. Now the food will definitely not taste good! read more

We are regulars here. The food and service is always great. Catering! She does catering! We had her cater our daughters grad/bday party and it was awesome. Our guests loved the chicken, shrimp and kalbi. read more

This place is a best kept secret. Quiet, clean, spacious. The owner is a kind woman who is very accommodating and happy to serve. I'm here at least once every other week. The food is authentic homestyle Vietnamese. Food is seasoned and soup is rich in flavor. No need to add anything to make their food taste better. Haven't had anything I wasn't satisfied with. Their portions are generous and even with all the inflation they haven't raised their prices. Still cheaper and better taste and quality than zippys. Secret menu item spicy beef broth for those of you that like alot of flavor with all meats. read more

The food, service, and ambiance were amazing. I ordered the spring rolls, tofu pho, and my partner ordered the bbq chicken banh mi. They were so good. I loved the pho soup especially. The people are so nice too. Definitely will be coming back. Thank you!!! read more

I love this place. We ordered and it came in just only 2 minutes. Everything came in 2 minutes. The ambience is very chill for a casual dining experience and the employees' attitudes are far beyond exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure you have a good dining experience. Love it. Especially since I can order an XL bowl of pho. AND their Thai Tea is soul punching. read more

Soup, food, appetizers was super great for a rainy day. I would come back again for their pho

Was looking for a great place i could trust to get my Pho Order right through Bite Squad (Saigon Pho totally didn't give me my meat for my pho) . Ordered a large rare steak and meatball pho for the hubby and i with brisket on the side and shrimp summer rolls . The pho was awesome. Broth was yummy , didn't need much hoisin sauce in it and they gave a lot of meat . My husband loved it after a rainy day of work. The summer roll was good but I didn't care for the rich, overly creaminess of the peanut sauce. This was my first time eating from this place. I'll definitely be back. read more
