One of my favorite places in Aiea ! Inside is nice and cozy, it is always a cool and comfortable temperature. I appreciate restaurants like these that serve hearty pho and made to order dishes. The staff is also so friendly. Go and support these family owned and operated businesses !

1 of 3 meals tonight.
Mr Erik N.

We ordered ahead. And driver today dropped off the passenger and only made one circle. Came back around and passenger was back at curb to go home. No waiting at 4:50pm. And the food was greattttt! As always. Mahalo. See you next time.

Medium Pho with steak & meatball

Huge portions for reasonable pricing! My hubby & I love getting pho and this place did not disappoint! Portions are huge! We love all the fresh veggies. Service is quick and the owners are always so nice. When we get takeout, we always get the spring roll & bbq pork vermicelli bowls. Again, super fresh veggies, a generous portion of fish sauce (they also add chili flakes in it), and they always give 2 spring rolls & quite a bit of bbq pork. Other places only give 1 spring roll with combos. It's definitely enough for 2 meals for me! Overall, this is one of our go to places to get our pho fix!

My usual pho restaurant was sadly closed today. Based off the reviews, I decided to have lunch here with my sister. We came during lunch time 12-1ish. It was extremely busy & packed. Which usually means that the food must be very good. I was set on getting pho but because I saw a star next to bun bo hue & im such a fan, I decided to get bun Bo hue instead. The bun Bo hue broth was a mix of umami and spicy. But not too spicy. I loved how they were generous with the meat portion. I would say definitely in my top 3 of favorite bun bo hue's on the island. My sister got the combination pho and I got to taste their broth. I loved how their broth wasn't too light or too heavy. It was rich and super flavorful. Service was also really good. I'll definitely be coming back here to try more food items.

Bun rieu with all the fixings. Flavorful and full of ingredients. They don't skim on the food
Nicole L.

Their duck noodle is the best that I've ever had. The broth taste is very herbally and healthy, which is different than duck noodles at other places, which were mainly just soy sauce based. Their Vietnamese, coffee and bun rieu are also delicious. I came here weekly with my mom after her physical therapy session. Service is helpful and efficient. The place is always busy around lunchtime, even on weekdays. Place is usually packed but usually minimal wait to be seated; nice ambiance.

Pho & vermicelli bowl

The flavor was good and the broth looks good they gave a lot of garnish fresh herbs !

Pork Banh mi , calamari, 6a. Spring Regular Roll (4)
Nicole C.

It was our first time and we called an hour ahead to reserve a table for 5 at 6:30pm on a Wednesday. The service was exceptional. Staff serving and checking on you with a smile. We had some apps: fried calamari, fried oysters, spring rolls and butter ckn wings, along with some pho, vermicelli and banh mi. The pork is so tasty! The fried oysters were also very good. We will definitely be back!

Medium combo pho
Linda T.

Pho Time is pretty good for a quick lunch. Lots of meat in the combo pho and bun rieu had a strong shrimp paste scent but balanced flavors and lots of toppings. Taking a star off because we did have to sit by the door and each time it opened we were hit with a strong gust of wind.

Garlic Beef Fried Rice
Paul C.

Great place to come with the family. I highly recommend the Curry Oxtail Ramen which is probably one of the best that I have ever had! Very meaty and the portions were great. So many things to order here as we usually get appetizers to share. The service is quick and friendly as it seems like it is family operated. This a great neighborhood eatery that you can come in and enjoy yourself in a casual environment without having to pay an arm and a leg with very good portions. You will probably have leftovers for another meal. Lots of free parking and easy to find if you are ever in the Aiea area.

Combination Pho
Michelle N.

Came here a few times and have had consistently delicious pho in a relaxed atmosphere. My most recent visit was late, 30 minutes before close. There were 4 groups (2-5 people) seated and enjoying their meals. We sat at the middle table, which I normally don't like, but it was okay. There was enough room to breathe and I didn't feel claustrophobic. The service is always excellent and I didn't feel rushed even though it was near closing. This is why my daughter loves to come here.

3% credit card surcharge 8/12/2025
Amber S.

Was in the mood for some pho today so we decided to try this spot since it's on our way home. Pho Time is located in Aiea Town Square. They serve both Vietnamese & Japanese cuisine, however I think the menu was mostly Vietnamese. The dining space was a bit cramped, not ideal for large families or families with small children in strollers. Ordered pho with steak and brisket; the broth was beefy and flavorful and they gave plenty of meat. Just a heads up, they charge a 3% credit card surcharge.

Menu as of 5/26/25

I was craving pho and didn't want to drive all the way to Kapolei or Chinatown for good pho. My friends and I found this restaurant in Aiea, and at first, we were kind of skeptical as I've never really had a fantastic experience with the phos around the area. But we decided to check it out as a really good smoothie store was in the same area. It's located on the upper side closer to Moanalua Rd next to Tea Cafe in Aiea Town Square on Kauhale St. There's a big parking lot that used to be free for hours at a time. However, the entire parking lot is now managed by a parking company (can't remember the name). The first two hours are free but each hour after is about $2? We had to register our car on their app via QR code which could be difficult for the older folks to navigate through. So hopefully not registering for the two hours are okay for these folks. I got their small Eye Round Steak & Meatballs pho while my boyfriend got their large combination pho. It worked out because he gave me the tendons which I loooove. The small bowl was quite big! They gave a lot of proteins even for the two meats I got. The round eye steak was also very tender - a big plus. The flavor of the broth was soooo good. It wasn't the clear, clean ones which isn't a favorite of mine. I was quite impressed by it and couldn't stop eating it! My friend got their Bun Bo Hue, and I'm usually very suspicious on whether it'll be good or not if I've never had it previously.... But this was VERY good. There was a generous amount of protein, and the brisket was veryyy tender. Winner winner! The broth, mmmm, so good as well. Lots of umami! Overall, I would definitely come back as it's close to my relatives' home. The BBH was outstanding so that would probably be my next order!

10. BBQ Pork Banh Mi
Valery L.

Coworkers and I decided to try this place out for lunch. We ordered: - BBQ pork banh mi (one with a side order of pho-noodle and rare beef) - Pho-Noodle combo - Thai tea They said the BBQ pork banh was good! I wasn't a huge fan of mine. The meat was already mostly cooked so when I mixed it in with the broth, it ended up being well-done. The broth that my coworker got for his side order was not warm enough so it didn't cook his raw beef. He didn't end up eating it (he didn't want to ask the server about it). It was a decently busy place and there was a shared parking lot with neighboring shop and restaurants.

Bun Bo Hue Noodle. Thick wheat noodles with jaw dropping amounts of meats.

Is it the same owner as saitos in ewa beach and mililani?

I don't think they affiliated. Even though it just open but it's already had many positive reviews.

My family was in the area to shop over at Crafts Way and I found Fooki on Yelp as a nearby food option. It had something for everyone in our group of seven: 2 vegetarians, 1 vegan and 4 meat eaters. The restaurant had a divy vibe, cozy and welcoming. The service was very friendly and the server was incredibly knowledgable about their menu and how what made some of their dishes stand out from what's expected. The Li Hing Mui Sweet Potato Fries are a must! They totally reminded me of my childhood and the kind of fries I'd get at the amusement park back in Taiwan. Here's everything we ordered.

First, the price was pretty high compared to the amount of food they served and the flavor of their menu. The pork rice bowl had way too much rice compared to the pork, and I think I only had half of the rice to eat with the pork on top. All the foods we ordered wasn't very flavorful either and they charged 3% for credit cards. The economy is tough right now so that may explain the card charge and the portion size but I don't think I'll be going to this place again. It was good to try but wasn't impressionable!

The soup itself is flavorful and packed with veggies, tofu and chicken. It always makes me feel better. The way they pack it to-go is perfect, they pack the noodles separately so they don't overcook. I also at times get the Pad Thai and spring rolls. The pad Thai is exactly what you want in a pad Thai. They don't skimp on any of the ingredients and the flavor is perfect. The spring rolls always come out fresh with crisp lettuce and basil. The sauce is deliciously sweet and tangy. While the place is small with 4-5 tables, it is very welcoming and the service is fast.

We went there for lunch it was the first time going there…read more We had the assorted appetizers which were very tasty, the fish patties were tasty and moist and the calamari was crispy and went well with the 2 types of sauce they served. The crispy rice wrap was interesting, but was good and the satay chicken stick was also good with the peanut butter sauce. The spring rolls came out nice and crispy it had the right amount of vegetables and meat inside and went well with the dipping sauce, only thing for the 6 rolls they only have 2 small leaves of romaine to wrap the rolls in so we just ate it with out the romaine lettuce. I had the Evil Princess stir fried with pork and green beans and bamboo shoots, onions and basil leaves with a curry sauce. It was okay but on the sweeter side due to the coconut milk in the curry. My wife enjoyed the fried pork chop with her dipping sauce. The Pad Thai noodles with Chicken was okay, but on the sweeter side like more ketchup than flavor, there was a lot left so others thought the same. Men's restroom is dangerous they have brooms and other cleaning supplies as you enter the restroom, if you are not careful you could trip over the supplies, don't know why they don't place it more inside, because they have room in the restroom. Server was nice and friendly, this is a family run business, looks like the sister, brother, their mother who cleans the table non stop was very busy. And another family member doing the busing and dishes.

I could've sworn I reviewed Pho Que Huong before, but guess not. This is my favorite pho shop…read moreon-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!

I asked my coworker who's a Vietnamese chef, that when she's tired of cooking all day, but wants to…read moreeat 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!

I would give them one star but my son said their pho was alright so they get two. However if you're looking for good papaya salad and good customer service, this place ain't it.
