Mini portions. Won Ton with Egg Noodles soup was average but portion way to small to order again. Definitely the worst I've tried. They give very little vegetables and with their Pho Dac Biet. A sin imo. read more

Last night I went to Pho Viet and ordered the Oxtail Pho. It was probably the best Oktail that I ever had, huge chunks of fatty,melt off the bone oxtail in a rich,savory broth. With shiitake mushroom,sliced white onions daikon and peanuts. Also bean sprouts,basil and green peppers as a side topping. They also had a vinegary,sweet sauce to dip the oxtails in.Correct temperature, served scalding hot just the way soups should be. Perfect dish for a cold rainy Manoa night. You can order the Pho with either noodles or rice. Will definitely be back today for more.Ill next time I'll leave out the noodles and just have the soup. Perfect low carb dish with high fat.leanprotein and fresh herbs.Great for my Diabetes.Its everything you could ever want in a Pho,.Try it you will love it! read more

Went today for brown sugar milk bobba. I ordered two and received them with barely any brown sugar and NO BOBBA! Was charged full price and when I asked where the bobba was, he said he didnt have any AFTER I PAID FOR THEM. I didnt have time to argue for a refund so took them both and left. My kids were so disappointed. WHAT A SCAM! read more

Pho Viet - Vietnamese Pancake - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The Manoa Marketplace has a pho restaurant? Pho-sho! Buwahahahahaha! Seriously, if ya look upstairs from da pizza joint (J&B pizza), you will find a Vietnamese restaurant called - Pho Viet Thien Hong. What can I say about this restaurant? As I walked into the establishment I was taken back at the large restaurant space that this restaurant occupied. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, had a large bar, and the a/c really worked good (perfect on a hot summer day)! :D We were greeted right away, and were told that we could sit wherever we wanted. Menus and water were dropped off shortly to our table, & upon looking over Pho Viet Thien Hong's extensive menu (see menu pics), I decided to get a BBQ Chicken Sandwich (because I wasn't too hungry). My friend decided to get a Cold Noodle dish with Spring Rolls & BBQ Pork. What can I say about the grub? Good thing I came here kinda full, because for ($9.75) for that BBQ Chicken Sandwich, it wasn't worth it at all. Overall, there wasn't much filling (meat or vegetables), and the French bread used to make the sandwich was soggy. As for the Cold Noodle dish with BBQ Pork & Spring Rolls? My friend totally enjoyed it, as she used to come here all the time for this particular dish. I guess when coming here, it's all about picking the right dish, as it's quite obvious that I failed here! Lol! The only peeve I have about this restaurant was the Covid-19 protocols............ Remember that I mentioned to you folks about how spacious the restaurant was???? Well, while my friend & I were eating, a large party of (11) people walked into the restaurant, and of course with all the space the restaurant had, the large party had to sit smack right next to us. Luckily we were almost done eating, so as soon as we paid our bill, we got out of there Pronto! As we walked out of the restaurant, my friend and I has a good laugh (as we were thinking the same thing) about how the folks sitting next to us could have sat anywhere else within the restaurant. Go figure........ read more

Since moving to Manoa recently, I've been looking for a Vietnamese place nearby. The ambiance is nice, not too loud and table spacing allows privacy. I've tried their seafood pho twice, which had good broth but smaller portion. Their lemongrass chicken and spring rolls add tasty. I love their large boba drink selection and they also offer karaoke for group fee. The menu is simple. Only suggestion is more seafood selection and bigger pho portions. I'll keep going here as it's only a few minutes from my place. read more

Favorite place to get pho on island! The rare beef pho is my favorite and my go to it is always flavorful and delicious. Staff is lovely. There are karaoke rooms upstairs that you can rent later In the night. read more

The pho was decent, but I didn't appreciate the 3% credit card surcharge, especially since the waiter didn't mention it in advance.

Ordered the wonton with egg noodle. It was good. Recommend going on a mid-week as they were out of a few things. Broth was good. Wontons we're good. Fresh sides for pho and soup were provided. read more

Located on 2nd floor by the elevators, above the pizza place, is this Vietnamese gem. I really like this place. Their summer rolls come with 3 small rolls (I'm used to 2 long rolls) and their sauce is so good. The vermicelli dishes are great too and they even have a lot of Chinese type stir fry dishes. Private room with min F&B and a full bar too...perfect place for a little party when we can have those again. Sigh. read more

I love Vietnamese food. There is enough variety for me to eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner. Between the soups, the noodles, sandwiches and the broken rice, it totally excites my palate. I haven't explored Vietnamese cuisine as much as I would like on Oahu, but I have found a few places that are close to my heart, and one of them is Pho Viet Thien Hong. This place definitely meets my needs....and in a good way, feels like home. Located upstairs in Manoa Marketplace, above the pizza place and the crepe place, you can either take the stairs or the elevator; it's easy access. Finding a parking space is usually not a problem since the marketplace has ample parking. Once you are upstairs it is hard to miss the restaurant, since there is a big banner sign as well as a sign neon begging you to come in. The restaurant itself is actually quite large inside. There is an upstairs office space, a bar, and quite a few tables to choose from...and the high ceilings give the restaurant an airy, open feel. Because we are in the middle of a pandemic, steps have been taken to socially distance patrons, and frequent wipe downs are evident before and after customers. As long as I have been coming in I have only had one waitress, who I think is also the owner. She is always helpful, courteous, and always wears a smile. Humble and anxious to please, I have always had wonderful service here...which is hard to say about a lot of restaurants. There are times when I am in a hurry, and this restaurant is perfect because the food comes out fairly quick. But there are other times where I have to work through lunch. Pho Viet Thien Hong is also perfect for this. I eat, work, and the waitress is always quick to make sure my water is full and that my needs are taken care of. The food is very good here. Everyone I bring here orders something different, and returns to eat. For me it's the pho tai. Rare steak noodle soup is really my test for a Vietnamese restaurant...my 'control dish', if you will. It lets me know what the broth tastes like....which is very important to me. And this broth might be my favorite on the island! With amazing depth of flavor, and a touch of sweetness, the broth is delicious to the last sip, and it definitely is one of the reasons I am addicted to this restaurant. If you haven't tried Pho Viet Thien Hong, please do. It will quickly become one of your favorite restaurants. read more

Pho Viet - Spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Solid choice for Vietnamese food on the second floor of Manoa marketplace! After being turned down at another dining establishment given insufficient space for our large stroller, we were pleasantly surprised with the large dining room and ample seating at this restaurant. The menu is vast and contains your typical Vietnamese fare including spring rolls, pho, cold vermicelli, and rice plates. They also have interesting options such as stir-fried udon and more! I decided to go with the Spring Roll and Grilled Pork Vermicelli (#31) as it was a warm day. Though a little less meat than I was expecting, the dish was flavorful and one of the better cold vermicelli I've had on the island. My in-laws enjoyed their seafood pho (good broth) and Beef Cold Vermicelli dishes as well. The one complaint was it did seem a bit warm in the restaurant when you are trying to enjoy a bowl of hot soup! Would come again if I'm in the area. read more

Pho Viet - Spring Roll and Grilled Pork Vermicelli (#31) - $14.95 - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Kiddo and I really like their beef meatballs, which are smooth and dense and tasty, and don't have tendons or fat like some other restaurants. It's a shame their meatballs are cut in half though, and I wish they'd give more! I wonder if they'll sell meatballs only. Anyway I usually order the Large bowl for the kiddo (for a couple more meatballs) and ask for less noodles. He doesn't like the basil, mint, or sprouts so we usually return those. Their broth is a little on the sweeter side, which suits us just fine. My go-to dish is the lemongrass chicken plate. This past visit I tried the lemongrass vermicelli instead. Both are really good, although I think with the vermicelli there's an added layer of flavor from the pickled daikon and carrots and tossed salad under the noodles. Other items we've tried include spring rolls, chicken porridge, seafood noodles, and chicken curry. The spring rolls come with lettuce for rolling. But at $8.95 for 3 small-ish rolls cut in halves, it's a little underwhelming. We've also had their chicken porridge, which is really fine and smooth, and surprisingly tasty! Would have been better with more chicken. One other dish that I tried on the recommendation of a Singaporean friend and that I enjoyed is the dry seafood noodle. It's as close to mee pok (for those who grew up in Singapore) as I could find. To be fair, I never was a mee pok fan growing up so my standard may not be the best!! I wasn't impressed with their chicken curry; the one time I've had it, it tasted like it was frozen and reheated. We like the way their food tastes, even if portion sizes could do better, but I understand that their lease keeps going up and business is not as brisk as it used to be. What I really appreciate is they always recognize us when we come to eat, no matter how much time has passed. We've been coming since the kiddo was a toddler running amok on their little karaoke stage, and he's now almost 11! The brother and sister team would come by, make small talk with us, and comment how big he's grown. I try to support small and local businesses as much as I can, and especially those who appreciate my business as they clearly do. read more

Tanya: The rare steak pho was alright. You weren't given much for the price of it, although the green onions added a nice touch to the broth. The restaurant itself was a cool place! There was a bar and a place where you could order milk teas, boba and such.. Isaac: The rare steak was average, and the price did not match the amount of food. But the service was decently quick and the staff was eager to answer question and fulfill requests. read more

Pho Viet - 2 Rare Steak Pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ordered from Uber eats and put in notes if they could make sure our phos were gluten free. I've ordered on Uber eats before and if a restaurant cannot fulfill a request, they have the ability to cancel the order from the restaurants end. Today, this owner decided to be greedy and tell us they cannot do that and that we would have to cancel order from Uber eats. When we spoke to a rep at Uber eats, they said the merchant could cancel otherwise our cancellation would not be with a full refund. Most phos are naturally gluten free made with rice noodles but this owner said his had soy sauce. That's fine if that is your recipe, however if you couldn't guarantee it couldn't be gluten free, you should have cancelled the order for your customer, and not put them in the middle and try to make them pay for food they could not eat. Very disappointed in this service. read more

Hubs and I had our wedding rehearsal din there about 5 years ago. We had the private upstairs area. Was perfect. I don't know why I don't go there more often...cuz I have to walk upstairs? Am I really that lazy?...maybe But going to start going back more. Tried to go Tuesday...of course that's the 1 day of the week they are closed. So tried again Thursday. As I type, I realize I need to start cooking more. But anywho... - Spring Rolls - Cooked well, buuuut needs little bit filling. Choke basil and lettuce and carrot/daikon stuff on the side but still rather then stuff those puppies a little better. - Shaking Beef - Pretty tasty and garlic chips so that stays with you awhile. Small pieces of beef though...more like pupu style for little kids. - Lemon Grass Chicken Salad - i usually don't like lemongrass, but really enjoyed this. Maybe b/c on salad so mixed with other goodness. - Side Broth - can't go to a pho place and not get something pho-ish. Tasty, but not what I typically have so I had to get used to the flavor. Overall the food is pretty good. But the people are SO NICE!...always friendly and accommodating. HUUGE space, so it's always been somewhat socially distance. They are ahead of the game...we shouldn't need Covid for a little personal space. read more

Broth was so delicious and my spring rolls so crunchy fresh. Customer service was great also!!

The pho here is amazing. They just need to add a little more noodles in the pho, that's my only recommendation. BUT luckily I have my gf to share hers with me :) read more

Back before I had a kid, I could just take a quick trip down to Chinatown to eat at any of the great hole-in-the wall pho places. But now that I have to think about things, like, will I have to wait with an impatient two-year-old? Is there parking nearby? Will a talkative toddler make a scene? So Pho Viet was a good suggestion. It's in the upper level of Manoa Marketplace. It's a HUGE space, which you would not expect just by seeing it on the outside. I think they even have extra private rooms, but of course we were seated in the main section, near bright windows. They were prepared for families with young kids! The server gave us a high chair and a kid's water with a lid & straw. AND a Minnie Mouse plate The pho was pretty standard, but they do have something I'd never seen called a "Winter roll," which is a spring roll (fried & crunchy) wrapped in a summer roll (mint & rice paper). Such a great idea!!! You get the yummy fried roll, but it's also easy to hold & dip. I loved them. I could have eaten a full plate of those. Good for large groups, because they do have LOTS of tables, including long tables that can be pushed together. read more

Not sure how the food is. I went in, was seated, and then was ignored for over 15m despite the restaurant not being that crowded. Walked out. Previous management was better in terms of customer service. read more

Amazing lunch experience. Food was great. Service was top notch! Pho totally hit the spot. Thank you!

I'm not a big fan of pho but decided to come here for a change. I think this restaurant is pretty authentic that includes their waitress being a little bit overly enthusiastic and made me feel creepy. The food was ok. I ordered curry rice but I don't think it's as good as Indian or Japanese curry. Their foods tend to be pretty sweet. And they told us their credit card machine was broken after we were seated, which caused some inconvenience cause we don't usually carry cash. read more

Pho Viet - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Located on the second floor of Manoa Marketplace, right next to the elevators. You can't miss the bright pink sign! Such an extensive menu! Never have I seen a pho place with more than four pages of food items. The inside is MUCH bigger than it seems from the outside, with many tables, a bar, and even karaoke rooms upstairs?! I think it's safe to say that it's the nicest casual Vietnamese restaurant I've stepped into in Hawaii, with the nicest employees. I wasn't too hungry so I had just tried a few bites of my friend's Bun Cha Gio (Spring Rolls on Vermicelli, $11.95). The portion was very big, but the flavors weren't my favorite. I may have been a little bias, because we just came back from Vietnam so I'm probably still comparing the food here to the authentic foods we had in Vietnam, but I think the vermicelli noodles were a little overboiled for my taste (too soft) and the spring rolls didn't have much flavor. I did like that the vermicelli noodles also came with crushed peanuts, shredded carrots, and fried garlic on top, which gave the noodles a lot more flavor, especially if you're like me and don't like the sauces that they give you on the side. I'll definitely give this place another try and order something for myself next time! read more

Great selection of dishes, fresh herbs and reasonable prices. Not really busy so very relaxed atmosphere/. Great place to meet with friends. read more

Bad service,we stopped by the bar for a cocktail before a show and waited 30 minutes. No active bartender. Looks like one server for the whole place. Probably the only Pho place in town. Saturday early and the place was 50% full. Will look for a real bar next visit to Manoa Marketplace. read more

Ok, disclaimer, I would normally 4 star this spot, but this downgrade is because of the lack of COVID preventions that I noticed during lunch. Yes, there are mask requirements, hand sanitizer available, and physical distancing. What was missing (and I only realized it half way through our meal) was there was no temperature check, there was no contact tracing (recording of name/address/phone number) in case of a breakout. I also noticed the condiments were still on the table. In every other sit down restaurant, the restaurants have no condiments on the table, but servers would happily bring you what ever you need in single serving sizes or in sealed condiment packets. Less surfaces available for customers to touch, less likely to miss a spot when disinfecting after customers leave. As I said above, this would normally be a 4 star joint for me, the food is good and the service is always friendly and attentive. During these strange times, I notice the nuances more. They really do have great lettuce cups and spring rolls, and Vietnamese coffee. read more

I was surprised that there is new ownership. I really liked the previous owner with their friendly greeting and mom and pop vibe. When you walk in the huge boba sign almost tells you this is not the same place as before. It feels more sterile and stiff. My cold vermicelli and spring rolls was good, my friends chicken sandwich was dry and over priced and the shrimp pho was not that big of a portion for $20. I would let the shock of a different owner and the higher prices settle in before returning for another try. There was definitely a different vibe to the place. read more

We came by for lunch on a Saturday morning around 11am. We were the only ones there. I ordered egg rolls, my wife got the bbq chicken Banh Mi, I ordered the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl. The server offered me Vietnamese iced coffee which I accepted. I should have asked about the price because the small cup of coffee was $5. The vermicelli bowl was decent, not too bad. My wifes sandwich contained barely any vegetables. Normally there is some pickled daikon, carrots, and cilantro. This sandwich was pretty slim and mostly carrots and no cilantro. Total bill came out to just about $50 for lunch. There are several other food options in this plaza I am going to try next time. Not my favorite place. read more

I give this place 5 starts because the great food is consistently good. I get the summer rolls with shrimp and pulled pork. We get the pho of course. One of my residents who is Vietnamese says that the flavors are excellent. The benefit added is everyone is very courteous and friendly here. That counts for me. read more

If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese food then look elsewhere. They seem to be catering to the locals. Their food is bland and below average. The cook needs to revisit Vietnam and relearn their cooking style. The basic Vietnamese dishes lacked the basic ingredients that makes the dish special. It just tastes watered down and leaves out critical ingredients. Perhaps if you never been to Vietnam you won't know the difference. Other hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurants in downtown chinatown is much closer to the authentic Vietnamese food and cheaper too. This place cost more and serves less portions or lack off. I would avoid this place This is NOT a "hidden gem". I just saw few customers drinking wind beverages at the bar and few gathered to talk it seems. Don't waste your hard earned money here. read more

The woman who worked there was very welcoming. Offered us to wait at the bar while we looked at the menu and ordered take out. Then when we were waiting for our order she brought my dad and I iced water. She went above and beyond for us even though we were only doing take out. When she brought the check, we didn't feel rushed at all. She included the traditional guava hard candies and some crunch bars she had. Brought it out with metal tongs so she wouldn't touch it. The food was packed very nicely and everything was individually wrapped in containers. She was generous with the sauces. We got four orders of pho and an order of summer rolls. Each came with a hot chili oil and a hoisin so we didn't have to fight over it all. Everything was packed in a box and it was easy to carry it to the car and straight home. Nothing was bloody and it all seemed very fresh. Broth was hot! The woman said we could only order large or extra large for the pho if we were doing take out. No complaints. We were so happy with everything. read more

I'm going to be known as the yelper who takes photos of half eaten dishes. Honestly, picking up my camera phone before my utensils is just not easy. Although I usually drop in for a quick bite, this time was a little different. With friends, a bottle of Dr. Loosen Riesling was a great pairing to the meal. The mussels were exceptional with the wine. Who would've thought peanuts match mussels? Their secret sauce really pulled the flavors together well. Along with a papaya salad, and of course the traditional pho, it was the perfect healthy lunchtime meal. The menu is quite extensive for a Vietnamese restaurant. I even saw Rib Eye Steak and Hamachi Kama on the menu. Whether it's a quick bite or a sit down meal, its always a pleasure enjoying Quinny and her service. read more

IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT HERE, TOTAL YOUR BILL YOURSELF BEFORE PAYING! I really want to keep coming to this place, but we won't be back. We've actually been here about 10 times before because my parents live in Manoa and it's very convenient & pho is perfect on a windy or cold day. It's not because of the food or service, which is actually pretty good and the prices on the menu are reasonable too. It's because of the strange billing system. Decor is pink and Christmas, and tv over the bar was showing two people having, uh...intimate relations. Kid on the next table didn't see. We actually ordered a lot of food for two people; one, because my husband was hungry, and two, we were getting a takeout order for my daughter. I wouldn't have even thought twice except I couldn't read the writing on the total, so I used my phone calculator to add up our bill. We were overcharged, while not by much, but it's difficult to reconcile that this might be a regular policy that no one is checking. But I'm so sad that a restaurant would do this. And we won't be back here again. read more

There have been many different restaurants in this nice space over the years - possibly because it's on the 2nd floor & doesn't get as much foot traffic as the ground floor. Since it was open after 8pm while most of the other restaurants in Manoa Marketplace were closed, I walked in, looked at the menu & ordered the chicken lettuce wrap - seasoned, barbecued chicken pieces, with sliced cucumbers, carrots, daikon, mint & iceberg lettuce halves / wraps. It was good & hit the spot! And the staff here was very nice! I plan to come back to sample more of their dishes. read more

Got the oxtail soup with pho noodles. Broth was super flavorful!! Impressed. Felt the oxtail could have been boiled longer for a more tender texture. Got there early mid morning, perhaps it was going to simmer longer and get to the perfect consistency later in the day. Service was prompt and courteous. Food took longer considering we were one of three tables in the restaurant at the time. I would go back. read more

The owners are the nicest people I've ever met. It's a small family owned restaurant. She's so so sweet and attentive. Her husband helps bring out the food, but is mostly in the kitchen. I always love coming here to support them. They are located upstairs in manoa marketplace above le crepe cafe behind Safeway. COVID hit them hard and they were in talks of having to close down. I'm happy to see they are still going strong! They have an extensive menu and some unique items like fried noodles and udon. The back of the menu has the more non-traditional Vietnamese eats. The Thai tea is a must! Please come and help support them. The food is delicious :) parking is easy, but plan accordingly since the weekly farmers market makes the lot a little chaotic. read more
