Spring rolls = super delicious, but kinda pricey
Jaclyn F.

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!

Chicken summer rolls
Toan D.

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!!

Platter was huge and came with big rice paper. Pretty good!
Rebecca T.

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.

Menu and address

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.

Green Papaya Shrimp Salad
Ross T.

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.

PHO # 2 Choices
Nolan A.

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.

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!

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!

Tofu banh Mi
Tina R.

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...

Delicious food, a quiet atmosphere, and very clean. My first visit was a thoroughly satisfying experience.

Pho tai
Ashley P.

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.

While taking our order I asked for a coke and she just walked away. Normally servers ask for anything else or is that all.... Just took our order and left mid conversation. The pho came out good, but the chicken wings had 0 flavor to it. It was suppose to be garlic butter sauce but tasted more like fryer oil then anything. Food was a 3/5. Upon finishing our food we asked for a take out container and the server said she'll get one. 5 mins went by and nothing. I went to pay at the register and asked for one there. Went and sat back down to pack up the wings to give to someone on the street. As we're sitting, I noticed one of the servers taking pictures of us from the counter. Didn't try to hide or anything. Just to make sure I moved around my head to see if she'd move and every time I moved my head she turned the camera. The same server who we asked for a take out container came up to our table and said I need to pay again because payment didn't go through. Mind you I paid cash. I then stated Oh? I paid cash? How does cash not go through? She said oh, then asked the guy who rang me up and not even an apology or anything. The whole service there was rude and just crazy. I just left and won't be coming back to this place for sure. Not authentic Viet food or service.

I heard they will keep this space for special events. The restaurant is quite busy and I'm glad we had reservations. Good thing I was there prior to lunch hour opening, otherwise we may lose our reservations since the person who made reservations tends to be habitual in arriving late. We dined in May, but it's been awhile since I first dined here. I preferred dining in Chinatown during lunch time than at dinner. Our waiter was really nice and helpful. I forgot his name, but I remembered that his eyeglasses that he wore was cool/funny, since the frames for each eye didn't match the other eye! lol. Funny it wasn't me who first noticed it. One was square frame and the other was a round frame! The restaurant doesn't do anything special for birthdays except may write Happy Birthday in chocolate on the dessert plate that you purchase for the birthday person. Their desserts are unique and refreshing. I think there are some rotating desserts /flavors like their seasonal menu for their main menu. I guess you can always keep coming back without being bored of the menu! I was bummed to see a previous dish posted of a pasta that I wanted to try that wasn't on the current spring seasonal menu! When we dined for brunch over the weekend, I was able to get the Hainan chicken with the crispy roast pork combo. It was very filling , tasty and satisfying. I do love ginger sauce on the cold ginger chicken but sometimes the chicken is just okay. This Hainan chicken was really good and the chicken was really moist! I thought it was the best I've tried! It was good that I wanted to takeout one last time in August before they moved! No more the 50/50 combo with the crispy roast pork on the lunch menu during the weekday. It was on the spring menu. Of course it's best to eat it in the restaurant than for take out. Bathroom is a must for me when dining out and they had only one shared bathroom for everyone! There was a guy who tried to make several attempts but wasn't successful, since there was always someone in the restroom. I'm glad the waiter told me there was a bigger separate bathroom with several stalls for men and ladies upstairs. You go straight through the kitchen to catch the elevator and to another kitchen /storage area! Thank Goodness! Best wishes at your new location. You offer yummy and tasty food!

While the servers were nice, we did order ahead of time and showed up when the Beluga app (where we ordered off of) told us to show up, but I ended up waiting 15 minutes at the restaurant later than I was supposed to get my food. Additionally, the staff seemed to forget I was sitting/waiting for my food. My suspicion is that the online ordering service isn't actively monitored and our order wasn't started until I actually showed up to the restaurant to pick up our food at the designated time. The food was okay for us. I'm a big Banh Mi fan and was looking forward to eating their Combination Banh Mi, but unfortunately the Banh Mi seemed a little rushed in preparation and lacked flavor. My husband on the other hand, ordered their Combination Pho and it absolutely did not disappoint. Although their Banh Mi was not as delicious and flavorful as I expected, their Pho was the exact opposite of that. They give you a generous amount of broth and their portions of greens was beyond enough (maybe a little bit too much for one serving). The last food item to talk about are their Spring Rolls. It wasn't anything too special compared to your usual Spring Rolls, but I will say that their dipping sauce and everything else that comes with it (rice noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots) made it so that you could easily make it a meal vice an appetizer. If you're looking for a cozy place to have dinner, their space was a bit crowded but if you're okay with then this place is good. Just be warned that their prices are a little bit on the higher side in my opinion and be prepared for long wait times to receive your order.
