I could've sworn I reviewed Pho Que Huong before, but guess not. This is my favorite pho shop on-island thus far. This place is constantly busy, and for good reason. The food is unbelievable! Sometimes there's a line out the door, but the team is efficient--so always wait! This location is in Chinatown on Maunakea. If you're lucky, you can snag a metered parking spot nearby. Pho Que Huong is super clean, and I love how they decorate for holidays. Family-owned, this local business is very welcoming. Plenty of tables. Clean restrooms for paying customers. The food and drink are made with utmost care. The produce is always fresh and clean. The pho broth is unmatched. Not too sweet, lovely and aromatic. Portions are generous for the price point. Vietnamese coffee is a must! Strong and sweet--yum! The spring rolls even taste "healthy" here in that they're not too oily, and made with fresh ingredients. The customer service is always on-point, whether eating in or taking out. Note: They do not offer XL size for takeout. I think it's sweet they don't advertise otherwise, since they don't have the proper containers for that amount of food. Be sure to check out this authentic Vietnamese spot! read more

Pho Que Huong - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I asked my coworker who's a Vietnamese chef, that when she's tired of cooking all day, but wants to eat good Vietnamese food, where would she go? And her answer was this place and it did not disappoint! Located where the old Rice Paper and Pho My Lan used to be in Chinatown. Dining tables and chairs that can be combined for bigger or smaller parties alike. Note that it may be a little tight in some aisle ways, when maneuvering through. The service here is quick and efficient. And even though they can get really busy at times, they're still cranking out the food and beverages in a timely manner. As for the food, it's definitely comforting and delicious. The different pho broths (chicken, beef, etc) are all just right, not too oily, not too salty. I didn't even have to add in any condiments to enhance the flavor. The Banh Xeo is a huge portion, that can be shared amongst a party of 2-4. Street parking is located right out front, there's also a parking structure out back, with an entrance into the establishment directly from the parking structure. I will definitely be coming back here for more! read more

parking - there's street parking available for a good rate! otherwise there's always the chinatown municipal parking, a stalls can feel a little tight but very doable. credit card for parking payment staff - staff was cordial and took orders in both vietnamese and english. they were able to accommodate substitutions in our orders order - i got the build your own combo pho with tendon and meatballs! i actually had ordered brisket instead of tendon, but i didn't really mind the change too much. we also shared spring rolls. as a personal preference i didn't really care for the tendon or the meatballs, but the pho itself was flavored enough to eat without sauce. my mother had gotten a chicken pho, i took some cha lua (pork meatloaf) that was actually much more preferable over the beefs i got in my pho. serving size - good serving size! was very full by the end of the meal. cost - good quality for the cost! one of my family's current favorites for a good balance of flavor to price. read more

Great big ole banh xeo that was also nice n crispy. Lots of fresh veg. Big menu for all your viet cravings. BBH was too adventurous for my friend but I thought it was ok. We both just wish it had more meat. Also came with mam ruoc(shrimp paste) that packs a punch. Service was great, they forgot to bring our BBH, guessing because the huge Banh Xeo plate might have been blocking, but once we asked they were very apologetic and brought it out quickly. I've been to HCMC/Saigon 3 times now and think this spot is legit read more

I haven't braved any yet, but you know this is a legit place if it has goat dishes on the menu. We've tried many different dishes and each one has been delicious! The ingredients are so fresh, especially the veggies. The rare beef salad and steamed duck salads were yummy. I've never had steamed duck before, and the meat was very tender and not as oily as the roasted style. Their pho is top notch, as well as the dry noodle fried with sauce meats served with broth on the side. The banh xeo (rice crepe) was immense, must have been about 1.5 ft in diameter! It was so huge it was served on a platter, along with lettuce and veggies. It was also nice and crispy on the edges, filled with the usual pork and bean sprouts. So far this place ranks in my top 2 Vietnamese restaurants that I've tried on Oahu. I'll definitely be back to try more of their dishes, of which there are a huge selection, and maybe even one with goat soon! read more

I think I messed up. I really wanted pho, but I didn't explore the menu pasted the first couple of pages. I wanted the spicy beef soup but I didn't care for what else was in it. So my dumb safe self ordered the won ton min. Asked if it could be spicy and the man said yes, but it came out regular. Ok, then my dumb self realized why one of my friends put siracha in his pho. And that's what I did and it was perfect! However, I should've looked through the menu more because the other customers coming in were ordering pho and I feel like I really missed out. Service was cordial but not overly friendly. I will have to come back and try the pho next time. read more

It's been raining so much all week wanted was a hot bowl of noodles. Cravings satisfied! My husband ordered the Bun Bo Hue and I got a large combination pho. The soup was flavorful and we loved all the extra veggies and condiments. The only feedback we had was the soup wasn't hot on the Bun Bo Hue, it was warm but my husband likes it HOT. Also the tendon and pork hock was a little tough to chew. Overall still a great experience and we enjoyed the authenticity. read more

Heavy congested self craving for comfort soup and the excellent YELP reviews brought me to Pho Que Huong. Once I entered their doors I was reminded I had already been once before, led by Terry K and in good company of a bunch of other yelpers..! Food is still consistent and of good quality. The combination pho the other day really hit the spot. Location is convenient when I am doing my shopping in Chinatown. Situated on Maunakea St, there are metered street parking spots as well as multiple lots surrounding the area. I even noticed a side door leading in from one of those municipal lots! read more

I have been going to Lam's kitchen for a long time. We had planned to go there again, but then I heard they were remodeling. Phở Quê Hương was suggested since it was right next door. OK! I love Pho! Ordering was SUPER EASY - the lady came by, and I was seriously impressed that she did not write anything down. Look, we only ordered 2 pho and their chicken with fish sauce but still..... we both ordered combination pho with different choices. I ordered a large and my friend ordered the regular. The pho came really fast YAY!!!!!! The server mumbled something about brisket - which I ordered and I said YES and he passed me the bowl. I was ready to eat when my friend said, "hey, check your bowl because I ordered tripe". I looked and YEP a curly piece of tripe was staring me in the face. OK no problem. We traded bowls. We were both eating and enjoying our pho. BTW it came with lots of sprouts and basil, lemon, the usual. The pho was DELICIOUS! I was enjoying and enjoying and then.... what? Both bowls had tripe. Both bowls had various pieces of unknown meat. We couldn't tell which bowl was the large.... So, yes it was impressive that she didn't write anything down; that's because they put in anything they wanted to! What the ????? hahahahaha Was it good? YES. Was it worth the price? YES. Would be 5 stars but I need to dock one star because.... please, give us what we ordered not what you want to give us. BTW the chicken with fish sauce was really good! read more

Pho Que Huang never disappoints! My 2nd visit to this Chinatown treasure in downtown Honolulu. Best pho I ever had! You can choose the size of your bowl, medium all the way to XL! You can choose from chicken, to steak, brisket, tendons or if you're vegan, opt for Tofu and Vegetable pho which my friend got. They give you a generous portion of bean sprouts, lemon, jalapeño slices, Thai basil and use hoisin sauce and Thai chili or garlic oil to spice it up a bit! I always add black pepper too for the extra kick for my sinus. The crispy spring rolls is a must. Roll it in fresh lettuce, pickled carrot and daikon and mint and dip in the Thai chili sauce! I got Freshly squeezed orange juice and for dessert, I got my yummy coconut jello molded as a rose and my friends enjoyed the tapioca and flan! All the staff is family and you know it's good when you run into die hard local support! Never disappoints if you're looking for great pho on Oahu! read more

Super tasty food, we're introducing new people to this restaurant every other week lol! The newbie picked won tun??? And the soup was delish! Returnees tried the appetizers: the Lup cheong/egg roll, (envision a summer wrap with different ingredients), and I ordered the bbq chicken summer roll. Alas, they brought the grilled pork version instead of the chicken, and were apologetically going to take it back. (Being a nice guest, I said I'm sure it's good like everything else you serve, but if I don't like it, can I get my original order?). Of course I thought it was tasty, so of course I ate the whole thing;)! We all ordered dessert-one ordered the coconut jello jelly cup and the rest of us had to try the three bean dessert. All were refreshing, and the three bean is filling, so plan accordingly;). Not sure why they add the ice at the top, I think I would have enjoyed it more if it were topped with shaved ice instead of ice chunks. Designed to be mixed, the blend of ingredients makes a very picturesque cup (quite the beautiful floral landscape)! Love the service and food here so we'll be sure to return to try more dishes! read more

Came back again cause the in laws wanted some pho. They enjoyed their pho. I hardly ever crave pho so I got me some bun rieu. I'd say very solid. First impression is I could smell the crab paste. Different than what my mom makes but pretty good once I added all the different veggies they provided and a squeeze of lemon. I eat mine with some nuoc mam and it hit the spot. My only complaint is the huyet. It had a weird texture this time like more grainy. Not sure what that means but I decided to not eat that. The fish sauce chicken wings were not bad. But not the best I've had. It had some good crunch on some pieces and flavor. The inside gets a bit more bland. Service was fine as usual. Ambiance still casual and to me the focus is on food. Yum. We've been here like 2-3 times now since we've been staying here. read more

Possibly the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant I've tried so far, in my humble opinion. Located in the heart of Chinatown and open at 8am (Vietnamese for breakfast?! Sure why not!) We decided to try this spot because they serve Banh Cuon (available weekends only) We also ordered grilled pork patty rolls, Vietnamese crepe and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Everything was perfect. I didn't expect the crepe to be as large as my head, it was served on a literal platter. Service was like almost every Vietnamese restaurant we've been to: seated immediately and served quickly. The restaurant was very spacious and clean. I was impressed that the bathrooms are pretty well-kept too. Will return soon to try the pho! read more

Didn't love the blood blocks in the noodle broth though, so would definitely ask them to leave this off. read more

Always wanted to try this place out, especially when local youtubers rave about it. Lots of seats and there's a back door that leads to the back parking lot. They have a refrigerator where you can buy drinks and Vietnamese desserts. We'll have to try next time. They have the sauces on the table, ready to be put in your pho yum. We had the Create your own pho combo, spring rolls, pork sausage, and noodles. Different taste than other pho's we've had, but tastes really good. The spring rolls are pretty good. We had to come back for the bahnmi because they looked so big and delicious!! It was too much bread to filling ratio. We would switch back to pho next time. read more

The pho here is alright. The broth is kinda mild, but the noodles are perfectly chewy, so points for that. The banh xeo could use some work since it gets soggy in the middle. Might just be me though since I'm spoiled by the next level Viet food in Orange County. read more

We came here on a Saturday night close to 7pm, on a whim. Basically found street parking and it was one of the first restaurants we saw. Even though we went up and down a couple of streets, we headed back to this one as it was packed so we knew it must be good. Looking around at other tables, everyone seemed very pleased with their meal and are very generous in portions. The lotus salad had just the right amount of tang and was full of lotus. I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely order it again. The vegetarian spring rolls were cooked to perfection and they gave you a generous amount of garnishes. No soggy middle! I ordered the vegetarian phõ and that also was generous in size despite my poor picture taking. I only ate half and took the rest home. The broth is very light so I did have to add some condiments that were on the table. However they are very generous with the different types of vegetables that they put in there which I was also surprised with. The Mr. had an XL combo phõ and barely finished it. It was such an abundance. I didn't eat the chicken wings since I'm pescatarian but I was told they were good. We took a decent amount of leftovers home for the kid. I would definitely come back here again but would need to share my entrée as they do give generous portions. It's no wonder there were many tables that were generational as you can easily share dishes. read more

We went this Pho place in Chinatown for a quick lunch with relatives. The crispy noodle with seafood (extra $1 vice chicken or pork) was rather delicious! It was top with flowery cut squids, medium sized shrimps, a few slices of deep fried fish cake over succulent seafood and vegetables sauce. Vermicelli pho soup was another dish that would call for more. They also serve many flavor boba drinks and freshly cut and squeezed sugarcane Service was quick & friendly. Dine-in room was a bit crowded and noise level was bearable dB level when we were there at lunch time on Friday afternoon. Price wise, I was told that it was average. Compared to California, it may be a bit above average. But the delicious taste would make it justifiable to dine in or take out. The table was promptly cleaned once the party concluded their used, and most importantly, the restrooms were clean but no seat covers were available for those clean freaks, you know who you are; bring your own seat covers (BYOSC). Enjoy dining pho...ever! read more

I wanted to stop here because it's become popular amongst foodies on social media. I wasn't actually too pleased with the pho it tasted pretty basic in my opinion it wasn't a "wow" i would come back and try this again kind of broth. It tasted kind of watered down the meatball was a little hard and the pieces of tendon weren't cooked till soft so they were really chewy and i eat pho religiously (1-2 times a week) yum yum pho or pho vietnam is usually my go to. but anyways this place was mediocre not sure if i would go back but it was good to try at least once. read more

Been here a few times throughout the years, I've always had a pleasant experience. Good food, quick service. Inside it feels like any other pho restaurant, decently large dining area and your typical sauces on the table. Once you start eating you quickly realize why this place is often busy. I enjoy the pho here but recently been trying other things they were amazing. Ive been trying to find a good grilled pork summer roll that I've been craving since a trip to Westminster and I finally found something comparable in Hawaii. Most recently I tried the house sampler plate and it was huge, everything was so flavorful 10/10 recommended, it's definitely something best shared but I ended up eating this as my entree and was completely stuffed.i read more

Half way through, the summer rolls arrived. LOL, I don't know why Vietnamese restaurants call it appetizers when the item always arrives after the main course. Ambiance was typical, loud, noisy and you smell like what you ate after you leave. Overall a good visit at a pho place. read more
