PLACE IS AMAZING! Very clean, sit down style restaurant that can host big parties if needed. Ownership is super inviting and attentive to their guest. Continuous help when needed. Can't express enough how wonderful they were. As far as food. I had the Pho Beef Rib. Broth was so great, ribs were perfect. My wife had the curry and we loved it. Great substitute for Thai Yellow Curry if you like that. Overall 10/10 experience. I will be back again! read more

The restaurant and beautifully decorated in simple black walls with stunning sketches of Vietnamese scenes...so beautifully done. Everything is clean and tastefully done. Staff is there, but not overbearing. It was nice cause we were able to dine and relax and chat I had enough left over broth that I brought it home for another meal, so tasty ! Brought home hamachi kama for hubby ! I definitely recommend. Can't wait go back for more read more

Was excited to try this new pho place that were the same owners as Hot Pot Heaven & it was so good! I am so happy they kept their special mochi dumplings, this was one of my favorites from Hot Pot Heaven! And I like how it's prepared. Their broth was so good. They were busy but service was still good, I appreciated how they kept checking in on us. Can't wait to go back! read more

First time coming here. Lots of parking, nice decor, good food and friendly service. I got the combo pho but could have easily ordered some other dishes. Lots of vegan options which is nice for my friends that are vegan/vegatarian. Service was very friendly and answered all the questions my had about the menu. Will definitely be back. read more

Dinner in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i... Pho N Grindz had its Grand Opening today, 9-10-26, Thursday. Its Instagram post advertised 20 percent off for the first week of operation... let's go! Parking was easy and free in the shared lot. The interior was clean, modern, and bright. Restroom was outside, at the end of the building... last door. Ask for the key first. Service was very friendly and welcoming. I was asked if I lived in the area... No... my friend from San Diego (Emmett) sent me the Instagram reel... LOL! I asked her why she wasn't on Yelp and Google. She thought it would get changed automatically from Hotpot Heaven to Pho N Grindz because it's the same owner. Ummm... I'll do it! I ordered my favorite: vermicelli with grilled pork and spring roll. Yum! Fried springroll, fresh lettuce, boiled noodles, pickled veggies, and grilled pork... such variety! I'll be back! read more

I came here with a friend for the first time and was greeted by a friendly server. I loved the many vegan options and ordered the vegan pho. Food came out quick and the soup was flavorful and noodles perfectly cooked. It came with plenty of vegetables and the fried tofu was the best. It was very tasty. I would come back again to try the other vege options. read more

while the name and menu are new, the place and people are not. the owners of hot pot heaven rebranded and refreshed this joint. while i do miss hot pot, since there are no other hot pot spots in kailua, i know this new menu is more of what her passion is. even when it was hot pot heaven she would make plate lunches for the neighboring businesses, and would even make us pho if we asked in advance. lots of parking as there is a pretty large private lot for all the businesses in the area. service is always great. even though we havent visited in like a year, she still remembers us. got the seafood pho with a side of rare steak, since that is most like the hot pot i would have gotten. and while it didnt quite hit the spot since there were no ponzu & house sauces or extra veggies, it was delish as always. also like there theres dessert now. we all got the ube tapioca. next time i want to try the chicken curry. there are also a lot of items on the menu that are specifically listed as vegan, i thought that was interesting to see since thats not something you typically see on local menus. the place was also a lot more crowded than it was when it was hot pot. so good for them! read more

Pho N Grindz - Ube tapioca - Vietnamese Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Had the most enjoyable mid-afternnon lunch yesterday in Kailua! We took the advise of one of the owners and ordered the Vietnamese beef stew with egg noodles, shrimp spring rolls and the curry. All three of these items were extremely impressive, in fact we LOVED each one so much we ordered one of each to take home! This place took our spice request seriously and the portion sizes were perfect. This place is BYOB- so grab a six pack across the street. It has become challenging to find spicy Thai/Vietnamese food between12:pm and 5pm in Kailua, not anymore! Looking forward to going back read more

Pho N Grindz - The Garlic chicken plate is so delicious! - Vietnamese Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

The food and service are excellent here! If you aren't sure what to try the owners and staff can help you choose some of their favorites. We tried the house pho, beef rib pho, which came with 2 big tender ribs, the home made Mochi dumplings (chewy delishousness) that we enjoyed from Hotpot days, always gotta get the spring rolls, the Vietnamese beef stew with egg noodles which is more like soup. Everything came out timely and we're so tasty we have to return to try out the rest of the dishes. Staff are always friendly and responsive. Our new hot spot. read more

Loc and Andy, took my order and made sure I had a good experience during opening week. We really enjoyed the Fried Hamachi collars, crispy and very tasty 5/5 and Bun Cha Ha Noi, the pork sausage and pork slices were tender and tasty with the vermicelli noodles and veggies 5/5. They really shined with their tasty soups. They are the same owners of Hot Pot and the soups reflect the same attention to their broths. Rare steak Pho was really good 5/5 and the Bun Thai was a seafood medley made with their popular Tom Yum broth 5/5. Their appetizers were good but portions were small 4/5, crispy basil chicken and spring rolls (3 pcs) read more
