We came on grand opening with 6 people! They have a very handsome server! He was so helpful and translated for my family who is literally illiterate. I ordered the braised cat fish, the cooked mussels and a lovely martini. The food was so delicious and filling! I found the food to be accurately priced to the portion I received. The vegan options are delectable and well priced. My wife would order these again. Mahalo to da Pho Que Huong 2 team for taking care of our order! read more

Pho Que Huong 2 - Dining room - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The food was good, but my son had left his kedama on the table. We rushed back and my son was standing outside in the rain and knocked on the door to try to get his toy. All the employees just ignored him and went on with their cleaning. I had to run out and knock several times on the door while they just stared at me (deer in headlights) until someone finally opened the door. I understand cleaning and not opening the door for new customers when you are closed but we were just there 5 mins prior to them locking the door and we were the last customers in there! Not opening the door for a KID that just ate there is ridiculous. read more

Came here for our last dinner in Hawaii before heading home. We ate A LOT during this trip, but there's something about a hot bowl of noodle soup that just hits, especially after being out and about all day. We heard this was a newer location, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered a few different things, including the BBH, combo, a customized bowl, and I got the hot stone pho. TBH, the hot stone pho is basically a glorified combo pho with the addition of a raw egg and the stone pot. I probably could've been good without the egg, but I really liked the stone pot because it kept my soup piping hot throughout the meal. That was actually a plus because everyone else at the table felt like their soups were more warm than hot, and they cooled down pretty quickly once we added all the herbs and fixings. The soup itself was a little bland for our taste compared to what we're used to getting in San Jose, but it was still good and definitely hit the spot. Since this is a newer location, the restaurant was spanking clean and everything felt fresh and new. You could also tell the ingredients were fresh. We got there around 7 PM and there was no line at all -- we walked right in. Overall, I'd still recommend giving it a try! The soup being a little bland could honestly just be our taste buds, so I'd say come try it for yourself and see what you think. read more

Pho Que Huong never misses been going to their first location for years so I was very happy to hear they were opening a location near alas! Got my favs the speciality banh mi , spring rolls, & sugarcane juice w/calamasi I swear all the banh mis are phenomenal & the spring rolls are addicting! Hard to find sugarcane juice spots that make it similarly to Vietnam but theirs is spot on! Parking lot in the new location is pretty limited tho. Only a couple spots in the front & in the back. So I recommend coming early or parking at target & walking over. read more

Pho Que Huong 2 - Bánh Mì Đặc Biệt (Specialty Sandwich), Chả Giò (Crispy Spring Rolls), Nước Mía (sugarcane juice) - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've never been to the original location but my friends told me their food is really authentic and had good Vietnamese food. They were so right! We had the banh mi, two rice dishes, and the pho but we all wanted a bite out of each others' food. We went back again after their opening week and service is really fast now. They checked on us to make sure everything was okay. Reading the other reviews looks like it was from those that went during their opening week when it was 20% off everything, so of course it's going to be busier. I'll be back again to try the other banh mi and drinks read more

Pho Que Huong 2 - Bò Kho (Beef Stew) Phở Bò Tự Chọn (Create Your Own Beef Pho) - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... I was here at this Hot New Business last week and thought that my friends would like it, too. I called and made a reservation for 6 people... just in case. (There's a set tip price of 18 percent for groups of 6 or more.) We found free street parking because it was after 6:30pm and some of us parked in the restaurant's parking spaces right in front. Service by the owner, Kathy Pham, was excellent! She's so helpful, cheerful, and friendly! I ordered the vermicelli with Spring Rolls and Grilled pork. It was yummy! I took my leftovers home because the portion was generous! My friends enjoyed their meals, too: tofu veggie pho, combination broken rice plate, fish soup, and regular pho. We all liked the bright, spacious, and clean environment. Thanks for the wonderful experience! read more

I attended a Yelp event here and I LOVED the food so I came back today as a patron to have my dad try as well. Food was excellent as usual and my dad loved his experience as well. Service was very attentive and nice. Waters were always filled and they made sure to check on us periodically despite being busy in the morning! I really enjoy their Pho. Such a solid choice when you come here. The broth is very smooth and clean-tasting without feeling heavy. The noodles and meat are cooked perfectly and go perfect with the vegetables that they serve. I also love the chili oil. Chili oil goes perfect with the Pho. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was also great - super strong but it was a great way to end our meal for lunch. Will definitely be bringing my friends here and I'm so happy they are now in an accessible area near town for dine-in with lots of open seating! The interior is also great! I like how it's got a refreshing and bright yet casual vibe. I can see this place being very popular amongst locals. read more

Unfortunately Pho Que Huong 2 is nothing like their original Chinatown location. Service, food, and ambiance were all terrible. Even worse, everything on their menu is $1-$5 more expensive than their Chinatown menu. Food: - Bun Bo Hue: quintessential to bun bo hue is aromatic chili and lemongrass and beef flavor. There was none. Broth tastes like watered down pho broth with a sprinkle of bun bo hue powder. Portion was small. - Banh Mi Dac Biet: just ok. Bread was a little stale, pickles weren't all that pickled. And there wasn't much meat or pate. Also pretty dry. - Lamb Chops: best dish of the 3. Nice grill and flavor on the lamb, wish it came with broken rice though. Service: I went for Sunday lunch during their soft opening and waited about 45 minutes. It took another 15 minutes for someone to give us a menu and some water. We tried to order the Stir Fried Goat, lamb chops, and Egg Coffee since those items aren't at their Chinatown Menu. Lamb chops came first and we cleared it in about 20 minutes. The stir fried goat didn't come yet. A waiter asked what we were waiting for and so we told him we were still missing the stir fried goat and egg coffee. Only then did he inform us that they ran out. Why did no one tell us either when we ordered or shortly thereafter? So we then ordered the bun Bo hue and banh mi since we were still hungry. Also, trying to waive down a waiter during our meal was very difficult. Ambiance: it was incredibly loud in there, we basically had to shout to talk to other people. Also, not a fan of the hard chairs. Because of the mishap, they gave us a 50% discount though which was nice. read more

Congrats to Pho Que Hong for their second location! They took over Pho one's spot on the first floor of a residential building near Ala Moana. There is parking but its quite limited but there is a few. The restaurant itself is bright and clean and quite large. They also had an opening promo of 20% off. It looks like the prices are higher than the chinatown location, but it might be easier for most people to come to this one instead. i grew up eating vietnamese food so i can be a little picky. i normally order things other than pho, so i ordered the bun rieu, bun bo hue and cafe su da this visit to go. the order took about 20 minutes which is fine i wasn't in a rush. if you do a take out order you'll have to go to the far back to make the order since the register is there. while waiting i noticed that people kept opening the door wrong so it slammed often. I wouldnt be surprised if it breaks one day. It pushes in to go inside the restaurant, and then you have to pull the door when you leave. Overall i thought that it was average. The crab noodle soup could have used a little more crabby taste to it but it's not bad. The bun bo hue was also pretty average and came with some chili oil. I kinda put a lot in there so my first bowl was pretty spicy. I also did not receive any utensils or a straw with my take out order but its ok...luckily i was not going to work and was going home and i found a straw at home too for my drink - i was actually saving the drink for work the next day and asked for no ice. read more

Big fans of their 1st shop, but this shop has them beat! Hahaha Easy parking right up front, same menus, clean and delicious! Our pho broth today was amazing and so wasn't our rib eye plate with two eggs! Service is quick and efficient, Truthfully no one cares about their rented chairs, which we were told was currently on back order from China. Will stop by when we were in the area. Much cheaper than a well known shop in the area as well. read more

This used to be Pho 1 so you'll see server from previous restaurants. Really cute place, inviting space with Vietnamese inspiration. Love their restroom decors. Huge menu with ample of options. We order duck salads, Bun riue and Seafood pho. Broth was full of flavors. Duck salads was delicious the ginger sauce was soooo good on the salad. The portion was huge. Service was quick. Definitely going back. read more

The hubby and I came for date night tonight. The Vietnamese food here is exceptional. It's their second location and also their grand opening week. From July 24th-30th, you'll receive 20% off your entire bill. On July 31st, the first 100 customers will receive a $5 gift card. We ordered the chicken wings $18, large chicken pho $20, oxtail pho $27, calamansi sugar cane juice $7 and Vietnamese iced coffee $7. The chicken wings are to die for. The eight piece flats were slightly breaded, crispy and drenched in caramelized fish sauce. This was so good. My oxtail pho was also delicious. I love the flavor of their broth. It's clean, but also savory. It came with one huge piece of oxtail and two medium pieces, which was a lot of meat. They also have a variety of condiments on the table. Don't pass up their chili oil. I like to mix it with the hoisin sauce. They also have fish sauce that I like to put in my pho. My Vietnamese iced coffee was good. I could taste the condensed milk. However, my husband's sugarcane juice was better. They have a sugarcane press machine in the restaurant. They were freshly pressing the sugarcane. Freshly pressed sugarcane juice is wonderful. There's nothing like it. I'm getting the sugarcane juice the next time. Service was on point and the food arrived swiftly. It was full house by the time we left and people were quoted a 15-20 minute wait. read more

The camera definitely did not eat first. As always Pho Que Huong never disappoints. My family and I have always been big fans of Pho Que Huong and to hear that they were opening another location near us was so exciting! As someone who was born in Vietnam, the food here is the closest thing to home. We ordered the Pho, Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup), Trang (sampler plate), Bun Rieu (crab noodle soup), and Com Suon (pork chop). There is so much depth in their flavors and I couldn't get enough of it! I even ordered takeout for later :p Their drinks are so yummy too! We ordered the sea salt coffee, phe martini, phojito, and me o me. it was SOO GOOD. Beyond the food, the ambience was warm and inviting. Our waiter was Johnson and he was so kind and attentive to our table. We also got to meet the owner Kathy and she was very sweet! Look no further this is the best and most authentic Vietnamese food you'll get in all of Hawaii. read more

Food was good, I would return. They have parking available. Apps and entrees came out all at the same time. I'd ask them to stack next time. Server took away one of the entrees before we were done eating but I think it was a misunderstanding/accident. Nice to have a location with parking versus their Chinatown location! Pricing is fair and the place is clean and bright. We ordered the summer rolls, orange juice, and pho tai, crispy egg rolls, and pho dac biet read more

Don't think I'm getting takeout from here again. Went during opening week since we live right by the restaurant but it was more than disappointing. We got the large combo pho but it didn't even come with basil, bean sprouts or lime . Also one order had meatballs while the other didn't. No hoisin sauce, no sriracha and one pair of chopsticks and one spoon for 2 servings. Also got the summer rolls and no mint in the roll either as it says on the menu. Understand they might be busy with opening week but just so many things missing in our order. read more

We got lucky and were seated right away even though the restaurant was pretty busy. The dining area was clean, and the staff were friendly and polite throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. It took a long time for someone to take our order, and we waited even longer for the food. After a long wait, we were finally told that one of the dishes we ordered was unavailable, which was frustrating. To make it worse, the table next to us arrived after we did, finished their meal, and even paid before our food was served. The pho was actually quite good, the broth was flavorful and comforting. However, the stir-fried ong choy was disappointing. It was cooked so dark that even the sauce was nearly black, the stems were very thick and tough, and the overall dish lacked freshness. There seems to be potential here because the pho was enjoyable, but the long wait and food quality made the overall experience disappointing. Hopefully they can improve the kitchen timing and quality control. read more

Have tried at least several different pho spots on island and Pho Que Huong 1+2 are my favorite. Came to this location during opening week and my group was seated and served quickly. Food was great as expected. Definitely coming back again. read more

Food is good. Service is not. During our entire dining experience, not once did we get a refill of water. Nor the drinks that we ordered (which they tried to charge us for). Made eye contact with the waiters and waitresses but no one ever came to our table to ask if everything was ok or if we needed anything. Besides the lack in service, this restaurant is VERY LOUD. I don't know if it's the lack of furniture but everything echos. It made it miserable to sit down and try to enjoy our meal. I know this is their second location and it's brand new but I probably won't return to this location for a few months. read more

This place is no better than Pho One that was here previously. We ordered takeout and waited over 30 minutes for our food. The guys up front forgot to ask about our takeout and kept on saying 5 more minutes. I live in Ala Moana Towers and will never eat at this shithole no matter how hungry I am. The parking is pretty bad as there customers were parking in resident parking in the first floor. I saw an argument between two people about it. One star is too much for this place. read more

so happy they opened their second location! the food is just as delicious as the original location the portions are generous and everything we ordered was delicious!! will definitely be back read more

Really good food and everything tasted great. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

Ordered banh mi special take out. The banh mi was hermetically sealed in foil therefore making them all soft & chewy. Not crispy & crunchy bread at all. The sandwich came with 1 small napkin & a soy sauce thing. Soy sauce for banh mi? Seriously? Not a lot of fillings for $13 . Oh wells. read more

Just checked out this new Vietnamese spot today, and everything was so delicious! We tried their new signature pho served in a hot stone bowl, crab noodle soup, and their sandwiches. Everything tasted amazing! The staff was super nice, friendly, and fast too. I'd Definitely come back here every month! read more

We were told to wait 30 minutes, while we were waiting other groups got seated before us and when we asked them they said "sorry, we will seat you when the next table is available." AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN!! Confront him again and they told us again when the next table clears up. 1 hour later we gave up. read more

Just as good as their other location! The quality and flavor are just as consistent delicious broth. The service was friendly and efficient, and everything came out quickly. It's great to know you can expect the same excellent food and experience no matter which location you visit. read more

I am a huge fan of the original restaurant on Maunakea Street. I just figured that this restaurant would copy the original and add on a couple new things. Sadly it doesn't even come close. I'm okay with the prices being 20% to 30% more due to the more premium location, even the plastic Costco folding chairs, but the quality of food however was very very subpar. The pho doesn't even taste like pho. I can't place the flavor of it, but it taste odd. It kind of reminds me of when Pho 1 sold to the new owners and it went downhill. I thought I got the wrong order when it came out but they said it was correct. The bun bo hue was just poorly put together and tasteless. No lemongrass flavor, no chili taste, nothing. The banh mi was less than mediocre, not enough fillings, old bread, and very light spread. The staff were all very nice but it was utter chaos which was understandable since they just opened. I was very excited by the opening of this location and want to give them another shot but with the prices the way they are, even with the grand opening discount it's not worth it. I really hope you guys succeed, but you need a massive overhaul in the kitchen. read more
