imperial roll
Grace W.

I've been here a couple of times but really enjoyed it recently. Our favorite was the imperial rolls which were wrapped in an airy rice paper that created a bubbly, light texture. So good we ordered it twice! We also enjoyed trying thicker Vietnamese noodles which apparently are not udon noodles. The thickness falls between thin rice noodles and udon noodles. According to our server, it is often used for beef noodle soup.

Entrance

Wife wanted to eat a bahm mi sandwich for lunch. She went through a number of Yelp reviews and pick Pho Viet. The restaurant is located in the Manoa Market Place shopping center on the second floor. Upon entering you see Hawaii inspired muraled walls. A large bar and some television monitors. Spacious table and booth seating. Greeted and seated Menus and water soon followed. We shared the Chicken banh mi and spring rolls. The bahn mi sandwich had thick slices of cucumber and bell peppers . My wife said her half had carrots. I looked again to see if I had any. Nope Chicken had a good taste. I prefer a croissant bun. Spring Rolls had a slightly different taste than others I've eaten. Stiill good. This restaurant is upscale so are the prices. Enjoy

I'm really a Chinatown princess. So when I found this hidden gem in Manoa, I had to rave about it on Yelp. No gatekeepers around here. Stopped here on a whim and was immediately greeted by staff. It's giving sports bar restaurant vibes. Might come here next time to watch some games. I was sat at a clean table and ordered a peach green tea, brisket pho, special combo banh mi, and spring rolls. (Insert 'White Chicks' quote: And for the lady? Perhaps a salad? Perhaps not.) IFYKYK The pho here is MAYJAH! Broth was sweet and umami. Noodles were perfectly chewy and bouncy. But the meat. Melted in my mouth. You can tell if a Viet restaurant is good not only by their pho, but by their banh mi and spring rolls. And all of it was FIRE. On point. Did you know they also have a teaspresso in the restaurant?? Mind blowing. Definitely coming back for boba and pho. I feel bad for those people with allergies because aside from the language barrier of the servers the food is goOOoOood and the servers are attentive. **FYI please let your servers know when you're deathly allergic to something cause you never know how food is prepared. Best to not assume.

Spring rolls
Deborah P.

Wanted to eat bahn mi sandwich for lunch so I was on yelp looking for a place to go well there is alot in our area chinatown but no parking and need to walk maybe couple of blocks. So I came across this one located at the manoa market place. Being its Sunday parking was crowded because of the small open market they have. Located upstairs 2nd floor i said to my husband oh my got to climb the stairs. But we didn't have too there's a elevator to the 2nd floor. Yay. Caught it and there it was the restaurant. We ordered spring rolls and my bahn mi BBQ chicken sandwich. The spring rolls were good the taste was well prepared. But only 3 rolls on 1 order. The bahn mi was good had clinatro, cucumber and jalapeño and sliced carrots and daikon on the bottom. The chicken had a little spice in it but could handle it. Enjoyed the sandwich and spring rolls. Would go back again.

Tofu Lemongrass Banh Mi
Tina R.

We had spent the entire week trying to find a Vietnamese gem of a restaurant and it finally happened. We saw that they had boba on their menu and we were scratching our heads because ain't no way having so many items on their menu would equate to a good meal. We thought there would be a lack in quality but NOOOO! We were so wrong. Every single dish we ordered had us FLOORED. We ordered: -ube latte (BOMB) -vegan spring rolls (BOMB) -tofu banh mi (FRESH BAGUETTE, bomb) -Vietnamese curry with tofu (BOMB I recommend getting with a side of bread) -lemongrass tofu vermicelli (BOMB) We were so caught off guard by the quality of every single dish. This place is going to be our #1 Vietnamese spot moving forward. Definitely no frills and fancy plating but it will surprise you. Parking: FREE Location: 2nd Floor above Aroma Italia. They had huge groups at the restaurant when we went but we still got our food super fast. Service was very attentive and mindful of our dietary restrictions. PLEASE, my friends....treat yourself. They deserve all of the love and support.

Good food and good service and the flavors are sooo good !! They know what they doing here !! You will like it here if you come .

BBQ Chicken rice plate with Thai Milk Tea
Germaine J.

FOOD -- BBQ Chicken rice plate was tasty, flavorful, well seasoned! I also had a Thai tea that was good. They have a Teaspresso bar inside the restaurant -- I never expected a restaurant that has a built-in boba shop inside. SERVICE -- Service was great. I came here with a group of 4, and spent like 2-3 hours in this place to discuss a project and the workers didn't rush us out of the place which I greatly appreciated. This place also offers karaoke rooms upstairs, by the hour. AMBIANCE -- The ambiance felt warm and cozy-- wooden furniture; red, orange, yellow, purple tones in their led lights. The AC strength is acceptable for a hot summer day. The place is overall spacious and has high ceilings.

Shrimp pho, chantilly cake, banana tapioca (DO NOT GET), world's smallest flan
Mari T.

I had no idea this place existed but I got a recommendation from a friend and decided to give it a shot. 1/5 would not recommend for anything but the chantilly cake. But first let me explain. Positives: free parking in Manoa Marketplace. Clean bathroom. Elevator to 2nd floor=accessible. Chantilly cake was very good: nice and moist and dense and flavor was on point. Now let me start with the cons: bathroom you need to walk around the corner and down the hall (not close). Shrimp pho was just ok: flavor was average, portion was a bit small (lots of soup with not too many noodles). The worst part of this whole experience were the other 2 desserts I got to go for my husband. I am not exaggerating when I say the flan is like something in a doll cafe. I couldn't believe they would dare to charge $5.95 for a flan that was barely 2 bites. It was not even that good; pretty bland and watery. But then I ordered the banana tapioca and it was absolutely horrible. The texture was like it was previously frozen. It was gritty and not creamy at all. It was crumbly. That is not how any tapioca should be. What a waste of $12 plus tax (they also charge a 3% fee for card so bring cash). They also have karaoke but it's pretty expensive. The menu is very large so I might try it 1 more time but I feel like I just got ripped off!

We have been going here for a few years, and it has been a solid staple for Vietnamese food in Manoa. It is located in Manoa Marketplace on the second floor above the pizza place downstairs. There is a parking lot in front and it is quite large. The restaurant itself is a decent size with a lot of space. It feels quite cheerful inside and there are signs for food, drinks, and karaoke. There is a selection of rice, noodle, and other dishes. I usually get the house special fried rice. It is one of my favorites -- super flavorful and a good portion. However, the last time we were there, it took longer than we were told to get our food. We ended up waiting quite a bit. We will be back though because the service is usually fine and the food is consistently good!

super minimal pickles  couldnt even taste them.
Kaitlin L.

i usually order takeout pho from here. i think they have new owners now? for the most part the pho is still my go to. takeout service is good - i havent eaten in here for years so i cant speak to that. i did want to say tho - if you love banh mi - this isnt it. it wasnt terrible but - i wouldnt order it again. it is pretty big for the price you pay but it was missing the pickled daikon and carrots. to me that is the best part of the sandwich. but it was basically less than sprinkled in... it was pretty disappointing... i thought maybe i had the wrong end of the sandwich but the whole sandwich was like that. i will just stick to my pho order.

BBQ Chicken Banh Mi! huge !
Meleana L.

Craving a Banh Mi and this restaurant was the first option that popped up on Yelp. Wish we could've eaten the sandwich fresh but we want to get home before the after school traffic. Ordered 2 bbq chicken Banh mi for take out. Sandwiches were wrapped in foil and were still warm when we got home (15mins away from restaurant). Very flavorful and bbq chicken was tender. Wish i asked for extra pickled veggies and cucumbers bc I love these toppings. The jalapeños in the sandwich creates a great spice as well. The onions however were too strong and threw off the taste. If in Manoa, I would love to dine in next time.

I came here maybe 5-6 years ago when they first opened, mainly to try their famous "flying…read morenoodles," which were such a trend back then. Honestly, everything was just okay--nothing really stood out to me--so we never came back. Over the years, though, I kept hearing friends talk about this place and say it was one of their favorite Chinese restaurants. I was still not convinced... and then my husband started hearing the same thing from more and more people. So, here I am, finally giving them another try! And WOW... the menu has changed and expanded so much since the last time I was here. There are so many more options now, and everything we ordered was flavorful and tasty. The portions are HUGE, and you can definitely tell they don't skimp on the ingredients, produce, or seasoning. We ordered the salted egg chicken wings and the stir-fried ong choy--both were really good! The drinks were also tasty, although they were a little not sweet enough for me, But I'd definitely order one again when I'm feeling healthier. Where have I been all these years?! ‍ This place has officially become one of my favorite spots for Chinese food. Sometimes you really do have to give a place a second chance!

Monthly special October 2026 with dining out coupon. 20% off. Sweet sour crispy spare rib. ($18.95…read moreregular price). Also ordered Brine Duck ($25.95). (5 spice)Both were really good. Located in Market city, near Foodland, Duck Lee, Tmobile. Parking stalls maybe tight and challenging during peak time. Would like to return for the beef brisket won ton noodle in soup and minute chicken cake noodle. Good portion for price. Highly recommend. No surcharge on charge cards

My friend has been raving about this noodle spot and even though she had it for lunch, when I asked…read moreher if she wanted to go here for dinner she was still in! It's street parking only on King Street but if you're lucky like us you can snag a metered parking spot right outside. It's a QR code menu and you order from your phone. I love a physical menu just as much as the next person, but with all the customizations you can make to the dishes- being able to select them on your phone just makes it so much easier. I went with the classic beef noodle soup, with a thick noodle. There was multiple different noodles to choose from but I think that this was the most classic for a beef noodle soup. The broth was really rich and clean (not spicy) and I loved the texture of the noodles. My friend ordered the dry mix noodle with pork and chickpeas in mixed sauce. She got it a regular spicy and it was just above my threshold for spice but so good. The texture of the chickpeas when it was mixed in made it creamy and so unique. Next time I'm going to try the dry noodle with mashed potatoes and beef.

There's usually street parking…read moreavailable along the street near their entrance, so it's not bad in terms of convenience and accessibility. They also seem to have renovated, with a much more spacious and modern interior. We've tried the Boiled Fish and Pickled Cabbage with rice, Wuwei Spicy Beef Noodle, and Fried Noodle (rice noodle). You get to choose what type of noodles you want. The first time, I ordered the Boiled Fish and asked for mild spice, but it was so spicy I could barely finish it and ended up just eating the fish and leaving the rest. Such a shame because I was craving those sour and spicy flavors and wanted to pair the soup with rice, but I definitely wasn't expecting the mild level to be THAT spicy. My bf, on the other hand, can handle really spicy food and ordered the spicy level for his beef noodles, but his wasn't that spicy at all. We wondered if the spice levels got mixed up, but I've seen other reviews mentioning that even the mild level for the Boiled Fish is really spicy, so maybe that's just how it is... The boiled fish soup was also oilier than what I've had elsewhere. For the Wuwei Spicy Beef Noodle, since we ordered takeout, the beef came separately with its own marinade. I wouldn't recommend pouring the marinade into the noodle soup because it completely overpowers the original spicy broth. The beef itself was perfectly tender, though! The Fried Rice Noodle was really good, and we had no complaints! It also came in a HUGE portion that was plenty for the two of us. Both times, I was craving Szechuan flavors and rice noodle dishes, and these definitely hit the spot! I wouldn't say I'm in love with everything we tried, but overall, the food was really good and worth satisfying those cravings.

Ward Centre closed down along with multiple businesses…read more Before they closed their doors, I ate at Mian & Bao. My friend and I ordered their fried chicken cutlet, beef pancake rolls, Chengdu dan dan noodles, signature beef fried rice, pan fried pork buns, and pan fried chicken dumplings. The fried chicken cutlet was okay. The side of mayo and sweet chili helped but it was too dry. It would have been better if the chicken cutlet was juicy. The Chengdu Dan Dan noodles which had the ground beef, green onions and spice sauce in the bottom. Mixing this dish before eating was pretty good. The spice made this simple noodles dish, better. My favorites were the beef pancake rolls, and pan fried pork buns. The beef pancake rolls were sliced beef with cucumbers rolled up in a thin wrap. I liked how crispy the wraps were. They were thick and great as a sharing appetizer. The pan fried pork buns weren't full of soup-goodness but it was still fire. The crispy sides from the pan and the great pork flavor. So, good. The service was very nice and refilled our waters. Sad that they had to close down but they were be merging with Chengdu Taste in July.

The cutlets were nicely cooked: golden brown and delicious. When I asked to use facilities, I was directed to the bathroom in the strip mall behind the restaurant. Food court vibes. Still I'd come back again if I was in the area for a fast, affordable, tasty meal.

However, she had wontons there before and they were good. I loved the skinny Hong Kong noodles that came with the wontons. If you're Chinese like me, then you'd know to eat it with the red vinegar. Also, try the house-made soy milk if you get the chance. It was yummy. My mom used to make it, but it takes a lot of work.

He cares about the food he serves and thinks about how the food will taste, not just while you're eating, but also if you plan to take food home. I ordered the cold vegetable noodles and pork buns. He told me not to order the pork buns because the noodles are huge. I'll try to stuff myself and I won't enjoy the food, "I want you to enjoy" he said. He also asked how much spiciness I preferred and at first I said none, but he suggested I add at least a little spice because of the way it mixes with the food and brings out the flavor. Later I overheard him talking to a group of young adults about how he doesn't serve a particular type of food because the quality and the texture of the meat wasn't good enough. When I was done with my noodles, I decided to order the buns and take it home to eat later. He said, "Oh no... if you take it home and put it in the refrigerator... it will become dry and you won't enjoy it." That's the first time I've ever heard of someone refusing money because he's worried about me enjoying my meal and the taste of his food.

Listed in chronologically-consumed order rather than preference (because at this point I don't have a favorite): Yuzu Shio--light and bright, clear and crisp Truffle Shoyu--full of umami, deep and earthy Shoyu Curry--nostalgic, rich, with a hint of sweetness Spicy Thai Curry--exotic, spicy, complex Tan Tan Men--nutty, creamy, with a touch of heat Creamy Garlic Shoyu--light and slightly savory Vegan Dumpling Soup--(tried takeout at a potluck), you can choose the broth you want, ANY broth! This one was the Spicy Thai Curry. The dumplings withstood the take out container, travel, and wait. And, it was delicious. It must be absolutely fire eaten fresh. Speaking of dumplings, Noods also offers vegan sides which include their vegan kimchi dumplings, mushroom bao, corn tempura, and vegan fried rice. I always get the kimchi dumplings but have tried the bao and tempura. The bao was soft and savory and the tempura was sweet and crunchy. And, my meat-eating hubby can have all the pork and beef broth ramen with pork filled gyoza, too. We very much enjoyed the shrimp dynamite together. I absolutely adore having so many choices. Everyone leaves happy, satisfied, but wanting MORE! Noods, also has a frequent-eater incentive program and you can earn a free ramen bowl once your card is filled. Not that we needed more motivation! They also have a great happy hour between 5 and 6 pm -- $3 off ramen bowls and select appetizers. Their prices are already super reasonable, so happy hour is a slurp-worthy steal! The restaurant has a cool vibe with black walls and chalk-inspired art. Tables and chairs have an Asian aesthetic. It's giving ramen-stall. They can accommodate a deuce to larger parties comfortably. And service is always friendly, professional, and efficient. The workers seem proud of their product, and they should be! Parking is available in the paid lot behind the restaurant and on the street. We never have a problem finding a spot. And a short walk through the Kaimuki area filled with interesting shops and restaurants is worth the effort. Doesn't matter if you're vegan or not, this place is a must-try. And with so many different options, you can be like me and try, try, try, try again!

Yes, Food yes service yes, ambience. I totally recommend…read morethis place. The Ramen was insane. I had the black garlic Ramen, due to the raves on Yelp and it lived up to expectations. Delicious to the last drop. I love corn and I love tempura and the tempera corn, which I have never seen on a menu before was insane light and not greasy. I would eat it every day like popcorn. My husband had the dynamite shrimp he said was excellent and a side of fried rice. It was a really good lunch for us. The service was super polite and very quick simple decor, and great music.
