Can't believe it took me so long to try this place and I now regret not making it in here sooner. The pho here has become one of my favorites - it's made with homemade noodles and a rich and nicely balanced broth. I usually take my leftover broth home to avoid too much sodium in one sitting, but I had a hard time stopping myself from emptying the whole bowl here. The restaurant is quite large and is very clean. Service was very friendly and prompt. They have a good amount of parking downstairs - the entrance to the parking is on Kapiolani - I was confused at first because it does look like you're heading down a driveway into a closed gate, but there is a turn immediately before the gate - there are plenty of signs for restaurant parking. read more

If you want authentic Vietnamese food, stop by! It had been storming and we were out of power so we decided to treat ourselves to pho and ended up finding this gem. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and are very friends Na had helped us and she was super sweet! She definitely needs a reward for a great smile and service! Food was fast and drinks came out timely as well. Both were all packed with so much flavor. I got the Bon Bo Hue which was so flavorful and delicious. I've never had something so authentic as this Bon Bo Hue. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Big and clean place love there's parking!! They have the crunchiest Bahn Xeo with so much filling of pork, shrimp, & bean sprouts. They also have a wrap and roll sampler platter which is great. Love that it has sugar cane shrimp, BBQ pork, and so much more and you wrap it up in rice paper . The food is great so far. I will need to come back and try more food! read more

Stopped by to have dinner Asked for shrimp summer rolls(spring rolls) and seafood udon The summer rolls tasted absolutely disgusting The food tasted rancid and it had a very odd smell I could not eat it. The seafood udon had little to no flavor it was just such a disappointment cuz I read the reviews and they were good Also found some cockroaches in the bathroom... it's never a very good sign. The server was nice and all but she barely spoke English, still friendly tho Anyhow very disappointed with everything Do not recommend Will not return read more

I got the spring rolls and beef pho to go. It was a combination of meats and absolutely delicious. However, I was a bit perplexed to see raw meat enclosed in aluminum foil. Since I wasn't dining in, I had no idea that the broth would cook this meat on its own. Aside from the lack of education, I only have great things to say. A bit pricey but that's what you get dining in Waikiki! read more

Visited for the first time to celebrate Mother's Day. We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. Parking is available in the garage below the restaurant, though spaces are limited. The servers were attentive and prompt, but communication was a bit difficult since our server did not speak English very well. She also seemed new, as she would place dishes on one side of the table and expect us to pass them around to whoever ordered them or over our heads. Aside from the service experience, the food itself was very tasty and enjoyable. Prices were definitely on the higher end, but the quality of the food helped justify the cost overall. read more

I was searching for a good Pho place on Kapiolani and saw all the positive reviews. It took me a minute to find the parking lot - it's underground, next door. The food was very good and the service was friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back there. read more

I never leave reviews but oh my goodness the Pho from this place was the best pho I've ever had. The broth was cinnamony and sweet yet savory and the noodles were flat which I loved. I'm very impressed and have now found a new go to for Pho! read more

Located next to Uraku Tower on Kapiolani, this is the sister restaurant of the original Pho Viet in Mānoa Marketplace. The food is solid, with classic Vietnamese staples and some luxury twists. Although the prices run about 20% higher than comparable Vietnamese spots in Chinatown. I judge pho by the broth. Both the chicken and beef had good depth, though a touch sweet for my taste. Herbs were fresh and generous,. The bún dishes were also very good: with springy noodles, well-seasoned proteins (especially the grilled pork), though the shrimp leaned a bit oily. The nước mắm was more vinegary than I prefer. The crispy noodles with stir-fried beef, seafood and vegetables really stood out. The beef and veggies were packed with flavor, served in a light, crunchy nest of fried noodles that wasn't greasy. Generous portion that can easily be shared between two. What makes this location stand out is the specialty pho menu--lobster, oxtail, filet mignon, crab, seafood--pricey but unique if you want to splurge. The dining room is spacious, with high ceilings and a clean, comfortable Vietnamese vibe. Parking is under Uraku Tower, but note the elevator hasn't worked the last 3 times I was there. Drop off elderly or handicapped guests at the guest parking ramp for easier access. Happy Eating!! read more

Friendly and prompt service. Huge space with lots of seating. Conveniently located on kapiolanj Blvd. The food was pretty good too. We tried their pho, big platter and Bun Bo Hue. Their pho had a good broth with depth and balance. Their platter was huge with lots of options to make your spring rolls on big pieces of rice paper. Their Bun Bo Hue lacked depth and flavor, and not much stuff in it either. It was a bit disappointing. The place is overpriced for what it offers honestly. I would hope to love it and have a new pho place to go to in the neighborhood, but I'm afraid that won't happen. I can't justify paying $23 for a Bun Bo Hue when the competitors around are still charging under $20. This spot has changed hands so many times, maybe if the challenging location? It would have to find ways to provide exceptional service, food and value to drive traffic. read more

Very kind and welcoming staff at this pho restaurant. The decor is bright and uplifting with murals on the walls. I liked the pho and oxtail soup. There's a huge menu variety so there's something for everyone. They also have choices of tea and drinks from Teapresso. I had to have the Vietnamese coffee and it was amazing! There's also a special if you spend over $50 you get a dessert. Free dessert is never bad! We walked over from Ala Moana shopping center but I'm pretty sure there's parking in the building. read more

Located ground floor of the Uraku building on Kapiolani blvd. They have garage parking under the building, but their elevator is broken, so if you cannot walk up the stairs, before going down into the parking garage they have a drop off area were you can drop off people or if you are having a party drop off your stuff, so you don't have to carry it up the stairs. I had the papaya salad with shrimp, if you don't like spicy stay away from this dish, even if you ask for less spicy it is still on the spicy side. I like spicy so it was good and fresh and the green papaya and spices and shrimp were delicious. Restrooms located in the restaurant Good for large group & parties They accept charge cards, but add the service charge for using the credit card. read more

Pho Viet - Ala Moana - Green Papaya Shrimp Salad - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Parking right out front, there's only 5 or 6 stalls but it was all open when I arrived. I think you can also park on kapiolani on the street depending on the time. Restaurant was clean, service was on point. Value is there, the prices are competitive to other pho restaurants in the area. I had a rare steak and beef ball pho. Broth was flavorful and well balanced, I liked the flavor a lot. There was a fair but of fat on the broth but that doesn't bother me as I like it that way. I also got an order of spring rolls and those were also really good. I left overly full as I ended up eating an entire order of spring rolls and my entire bowl of pho. read more

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... When I saw Donna O.'s First To Review for this location of Pho Viet at Ala Moana, I thought it would be appropriate to go with Irene since we had been at this restaurant in the past - when it had a different name. Parking underground is free in the Uraku Building. Enter from Kapiolani Boulevard. Just note that the elevator that goes up to the restaurant from the parking lot needs to be repaired. The menu is very extensive - maybe because it's connected with the Manoa Marketplace location of Pho Viet? Service was efficient and welcoming. We were the only customers because it was before the dinner crowd. The interior looks like it hasn't changed from the previous owner. It's still clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. I wasn't too hungry, so I got Summer Rolls. They were fresh and rolled tightly! The wrapper wasn't too thin, dry, nor mushy! Everything stayed intact, even though I used a lot of the thick peanut sauce on the rolls! We had a nice conversation, but noticed some flies hovering around. Even though it was indoors, and the doors were closed, we wondered where the flies came from... haha! Then, we noticed the flytrap hanging from the tangerine tree in the corner... LOL! read more

As a vegetarian, this place is amazing. I have the Stir Fried Tofu and the Fries Tofu rolls, both items were tasty. I will be coming back here again. Also, they serve amazing milk teas, fruity teas, smoothies, cocktails and slushies. read more

ComPHOrting... Check out Pho Viet located right in the midst of Kapiolani in the Uraku Tower but don't let this condo deter you as you need to do is go down the driveway and you'll be impressed to see the amount of free parking available here that's just so convenient with a twist since the elevator access is still broken so just walk up the stairs and there you are! Everything here looks so comforting from seven choices of banh mi to lobster pho and even an entire Teapresso menu all under one roof is found here is something that just didn't expect to find is like the end of the rainbow. After a stressful long week filled with very little sleep I did feel the exhaust building up and while Nadine perfectly suggested coming to Pho Viet second location after losing Pho Dynasty I was excited to give them a peek. Walking in the vibe was exactly as the former left it with the wall art and table settings as we selected a table in the back near a small private room and as I glanced at the menu was surprised to see the entire Teapresso drink menu including to build your own drink type...do you think it comes in the cup as well? Not sure as I was feeling weathered today it was Pho sure..Pho! What I really wanted was the yummy comforting broth as I know that I'll have a whole bowl of that and they didn't disappoint as it was nice and steaming hot filled with veggies as I feel better with each sip the staff here is so nice and friendly I can see myself coming back as pho real it's the best remedy. Thank you! read more

Taste: 5 Creativity/Authenticity: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Service: 5 Bang for your buck: 4 I just got back from Vietnam and let me tell you it ruined Vietnamese food for me in the states, but pho viet might just be my new spot! Was in search for Vietnamese coffee and ended up eating a whole meal here! You know it's legit when you got the owners kid sitting at a table watching kids shows on the iPad lol! Started with the fried spring rolls and decided to get the shrimp and pork vermicelli, so flavor full and tasted just like I was in Vietnam! Service here was great fast and the ambiance here was cool, look like hand painted murals all over the walls can see this place getting packed. It's a little pricey but it's Hawaii and def worth it! Will be back for more thanks read more

Please. Trust me when I tell you this has to be the best Vietnamese place I've ever been to. There's another location in Manoa and I've tried both. This one tastes even better than the Manoa location. The restaurant is so huge inside, you can definitely host some events here. It's really fancy inside and clean. A little history on this place is that it was previously Pho Dynasty but after passing its hands through some different management, we now have Pho Viet :) There's a huge tank inside with lobsters swimming around, it kind of reminds me of Vietnam because they would make their seafood fresh. Lobster pho? Doesn't that sound like a dream? We got a nice array of dishes from the banh mi to the spring rolls to the stir fried udon (which sorry I literally breathed this one in so I forgot to take a pic). Bomb food. Bomb service. Free Parking is in the Uraku Tower (underneath, enter thru Kapiolani) I truly hope that if you're in the area that you would give them a try. I'm gonna pay them another visit again tomorrow already... read more

Pho Viet - Ala Moana - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Conveniently located near my workplace, Pho Viet suffices the ever so often cravings of pho. My usual is pho tai and everything else I've ordered in the past has been nothing short of amazing. The broth is bomb, love how they give a generous amount of sides, and their menu consists of a variation of everything, including drinks! The place is huge, bigger than your average pho spot so that's a plus. A lot of people on their lunch break are seen here, which is nice! The service is always okay, maybe because they lack speaking English but I'll take that over rude service any day. read more

Pho Viet - Ala Moana - Pho tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Pho Viet has a new Ala Moana location besides their restaurant in Manoa. I believe they took over right after Pho Dynasty the next day 2/1/25. You won't be able to tell too much, since the interior hasn't changed. On the outside has a sign with My Hao or Pho My Hao covering the old sign but the lady worker said the sign will come off soon. I was a little confused at first if this is the new restaurant name or Pho Viet. As I was entering it in Yelp, she typed it in the Restaurant name, Pho Viet Ala Moana. I haven't been to their Manoa location yet so the worker was nice and patient as I was making my decision. So many choices to choose from but I since I love pork in banh mi sandwiches, I ordered the bbq pork banh mi and bbq pork roll. I was going to save half of the banh mi for mom later but the bun was so warm like it came out of the oven, I ate it all ! The pork was tasty with some cucumber and parsley? Some other places may have more veggies but the sandwich was flavorful in the nice warm bread! The bbq pork roll was good too and I shared with mom. It maybe better with the sauce but my mom and I didn't use it and both liked it. I'm glad they have pork since I can't have shrimp. I found out the spring rolls have variety of protein inside including the shrimp. Good to know and if you can't have shrimp , there's a vegan spring roll. Although I did only take out, the lady was so helpful! There was a family having a meal when I was there but they could use more customers. Now I have the phone number, so next time I can call in the order. They still have the same specials from when I went there last week before the change order. The elevator is still not working, but can walk up the stairs or can walk up the ramp. Perhaps can drop off those who may not be able to walk up the stairs at the loading zone on the restaurant level before parking in the basement. At least there's a lot of parking and the restaurant is pretty big. Hope they do well! read more

Walked in on a Tuesday night and had a great experience. The restaurant was not very busy and we were seated right away. I ordered the chicken pho and the people I was with ordered udon dishes. We were all happy with our meals. The waitstaff was very attentive all evening. The setting was nice, we did not feel rushed at all. read more

The menu is extensive! So many choices! I could eat here everyday and get something different everyday! The service is fast and friendly. Very clean, lots of tables.

Decent pho place next to ala moana. Staff is nice and the restaurant is a good size. The Wagyu pho broth was pretty good though the noodles were soggy. Pad Thai was ok and the starter rolls were also decent (though expensive). The iced Viet coffee was disappointing - seemed like they barely used any coffee. Wasn't strong enough at all. Overall good - would be back for pho. read more

The pho was good and full of flavor. Noodles made just right. Staff was very attentive. Restaurant is very clean. Would come back again

Lots of free parking! The restaurant is large and roomy with large monitors showing street food in Vietnam which was cool to watch. The special banh mi had a mild taste with a great fresh crunchy bread. The beef bone was a bit tough even though they provide you with scissors. They might consider providing a serrated scissors or knife instead of just regular scissors to cut it. The pho broth was flavorful with soft noodles. We were the only ones in the restaurant on a Saturday at lunchtime so service was fast. Since they've only been open a few months they might want to advertise more on social media so diners are aware of their presence. read more

Wanted to like this place, as saw good reviews, but my oxtail soup experience was far from great. For $26, I would expect more than 3, spoon sized pieces. On top of the small pieces, it was tough, and not much meat. Broth was decent and flavorful. The side order of vermicelli they gave was not the pho type, so was little disappointed with that. read more

Super great service and awesome food! My family loves Vietnamese food in general, and this was definitely a standout restaurant for us.

Ive been loving their lemongrass chicken banh mi and been ordering it on a weekly basis from either of their two locations. The lemongrass chicken is nicely seasoned and perfectly balanced every time. I appreciate that the chicken pieces arent cut too small so that makes it easier to eat. Also so happy to see that they offer teapresso drinks. I recommend the mango kumquat - it's like a refreshing half lemonade/half tea! Lots of free parking downstairs in that building. Its a right turn going down Kapiolani Blvd towards diamond head. read more

Service was excellent but was a little disappointed in the cold vermicelli. The shrimp paste patties were overcooked . The combo pho broth had a nice flavor but can add more water since it's also overwhelming salty. read more

My first experience there was wonderful! I'm surprise there wasn't more people at this place. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful. I had the humongous bowl of pho with a huge rib bone, 3 big prawns, and a huge lobster! Also, there was more meat in the bowl!! I wasn't there for a contest nor was I trying to make a world record, so sadly I couldn't eat it all. But the soup was fantastic. The meat on the Rib bone was tender. The dipping sauce for the lobster was flavorful. They gave me a lot of vegetables . I had food for the rest for the rest of my weekend! I'll be sensible next time and order a smaller bowl. But I'll be back! read more
