I'm not usually much of a soup person, but whenever I'm craving soup, this is one of the places I come to! I always get their large beef rib soup, and it never disappoints. Definitely a 5/5 for me! We also tried their NY steak, which comes with rice. I really liked it! The sauce is a little on the sweeter side, so I can see how some people might not like it, but personally, I enjoyed it. 5/5! We also got the teriyaki pork belly, and that was another 5/5. The marinade was just right--not too sweet and not too salty. I almost forgot--we also got the summer rolls! I didn't take a picture, but they were really good too. I read another Yelp review mentioning that they don't use the traditional wrap for their summer rolls. I guess the one they use has more of a chewy texture rather than being crunchy. I actually liked it! It didn't taste bad at all, so I think it's really just a matter of personal preference when it comes to the texture. As long as the food is good and the servers are great, I really can't complain! That's why this place continues to be one of my go-to spots. They haven't disappointed me yet! It wasn't busy when we went, so we got to choose whatever table we wanted. Usually, when it's busy, they'll seat us, and we've never had an issue. Another great meal! 5/5 read more

3.5/5. First time here and here's the rundown: Large Beef Back Ribs Pho: Easily the star of the night! Huge portion, a beautifully light and flavorful broth, and the beef ribs were tender and delicious. An absolute must-order! Tamarind Ribs: Tasty, though they leaned more toward classic sweet-and-sour. I personally wished for a bit more of that sharp, tamarind-forward punch. Spring Rolls: Served as 6 skinny half-pieces instead of the plump rolls I'm used to. Because they used flour wrappers instead of traditional rice paper, they lacked that fresh, satisfying crunch. We had a slight ordering hiccup/language barrier when our waiter repeatedly said "teriyaki pork" while taking our order, even though I kept specifying tamarind. He brought out teriyaki, but he quickly fixed it and brought the right ones out! To top it off, the manager unexpectedly took 10% off our bill for the mix-up. It wasn't totally necessary, but such a sweet, thoughtful gesture that we really appreciated! Pro Tip: It gets a little warm inside even with the AC cranking, so dress light! Overall great hospitality and delicious broth! We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu and grab those beef ribs again! read more

Ribs & Broth continues to deliver on flavor! Everything we've tried has been so delicious, fresh, and packed with flavor. The service is always awesome, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming - so honestly, that pretty much sums up why we keep coming back! Our go-to favorites are the Lemongrass Banh Mi and pretty much any of their pho - you really can't go wrong because they're all so yummy! I really like their noodles, it's thicker than other phos and the broth is clean and flavorful. Every visit has left us full & satisfied. Thanks Ribs & Broth! :) read more

We have been searching for a good bowl of pho nearby without having to drive to our favorite spot, Hale Vietnam in Kaimuki, and had been itching to try this spot for awhile based on the recommendations of others. This location is just outside of Waipahu Town Center, a convenient drive for us from Pearl City. We arrived around 5:45pm on a Friday. The place is not very large and was packed. We waited just a short time for a table. As a note, the place cleared out by 6:30, so we might try to come a little later next time. We ordered spring rolls to share, and my gf ordered the Beef Back ribs Pho. I ordered the Short Ribs Pho. The spring rolls were ok, but I think we'll skip that the next time. We were overstuffed after eating that and downing the real star of the show here which was the pho. The meat was tender and flavorful and the broth was so good! It has a meaty flavor I have not experienced elsewhere. My gf knew going in when she ordered the Beef Back ribs that it was going to be more than she could eat and she truly struggled, it was a lot of meat even with my help. She thoroughly enjoyed every bite though. Service here was attentive and quick. Our food came out really fast, and the kind servers made sure to keep our water topped off and check in on us often. We were really glad to have tried this place and will be coming again. Is it enough to topple our favorite, Hale Vietnam? It's just such a different experience that I don't think comparison is possible. But I think over time this place will rank up there amongst our favorite places to go. read more

I may have possibly had the best Vietnamese iced coffee I've ever had in my life here! Not overly sweet with that distinctive condensed milk but creamy still. We went straight for that huge bowl of beef rib pho! 9/10.. 1 point off for the broth being slightly saltier for my tastebuds. This $26 bowl of goodness had 4 full, fall off the bone meaty ribs. Next time I know to order rice on the side because that Filipino in me wants to eat rice and soup. We also had the spring rolls and they were so good.. filled with pork but also something else that I think was a root vegetable. Crispy but not greasy. I also could just eat a whole order of this for lunch by myself. The staff here are incredibly nice and attentive.... Will definitely be back! read more

really wanted to love this place, but overall the food felt pretty basic. I've had similar dishes elsewhere that were more flavorful and memorable. This was a spur-of-the-moment visit after hearing about it on Instagram, and I went with a few friends who ended up feeling the same way. That said, the service was excellent. Our water glasses were constantly refilled before we even had to ask, which I always appreciate. Ordering was quick, and the food came out fast as well. As for the food, I ordered the vermicelli with spring rolls and shrimp. The portion size was generous, and the noodles themselves were good. The sauce also had nice flavor. However, the shrimp was a bit too salty, and the spring rolls were on the bland side, which made the dish feel a little unbalanced overall. If you're in the area, it might still be worth trying at least once to see for yourself, especially since the service is so strong--but for me, it didn't quite stand out compared to other spots I've tried. read more

I had one of the greatest dinner experiences in a while. My wife had heard about this location but it was our first time trying. Fortunately, they have their first location in Waipahu. You can find their location near Waipahu Shopping Center. It can be difficult to find parking since there are so many good spots in this shopping center. The business itself looks clean and cutely decorated. It's quite small and cozy, which means you have to get there early. By the time we were leaving, there were 3 parties waiting for us to finish. Couldn't help but feel rushed lol. As for the food, we definitely tried their Ramen Beef Back Ribs. This was recommended by the waitress after we consider getting the Beef Back Ribs Pho. She said the "ramen broth had a little more flavor". Oh man! It was delicious. 10/10! My wife and I split it so we could try other items on their menu. We also had their Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi and their Calamari! It was all delicious. We ended up destroying all the food. We will definitely be back to see what else we can have on their menu. read more

Very tasty pho and made traditionally but the Banh mi was lacking and the fish sauce was a little mild and sweet to really flavor the noodle dish. Service was okay, we asked for extra pate and was willing to pay for it but they refused. Ambiance is clean and nice read more

No frills, but clean and service always friendly and efficient! Ordered my usual brisket and steak pho with some spring rolls. Crispy on the outside moist on the inside. Roll it up in the lettuce add your vermicelli and veggies, dip and so delicious. Pho very hot, throw in that basil, bean sprout splash of lime all with a side of Hoisin and chili oil! Yummy! Broth flavorful and portion huge. Lots of other rice dishes, vermicelli and all types of pho and ramen! Lots of sides as well. Go check them out! read more

Food: 4/5. I ordered the bbq pork ramen. It's char Siu style. And it's its local style comfort food ramen. Service: 5/5. The employees are friendly and we didn't feel rushed despite being pretty busy. Atmosphere: 5/5. The place is clean and spacious regarding the seating. One of my pet peeves is the amount of tables and how close each table and chairs are to each other. My dad ordered a pho dish and the broth is really yummy. Next time I'll try their other types of pho, bahn Minh, and plate lunches. read more

First time trying this place, and honestly I'm surprised I never heard of it until now. We went for lunch and it wasn't too busy. The hype seemed big, so we gave it a shot. I ordered the ribs pho, my wife got the regular pho, and my son tried the oxtail. Both the ribs and oxtail pho were $26 decent portions, but still pretty pricey. One thing to know: when you order the ribs pho, the ONLY meat you get is the ribs. No tripe, no steak slices, no meatballs, just ribs. They were huge though; mine came with three big pieces. The oxtail, on the other hand, was just okay. It had carrots and broccoli in it, which I didn't expect, and only four small pieces of oxtail for $26. My son wasn't happy about that at all. Ambience was fine, nothing special. I thought the ribs were solid and I'd probably get those again, but the oxtail didn't seem worth the price. My wife didn't complain about the regular pho it was $19.25 but honestly other places give you more for less. Overall, I'd rate this spot a 3/5. Maybe I'd come back once in a while, but mainly just for the regular pho. read more

Yoooooo, it was a mistake to overlook this place! We only went here because they opened their second location in town and figured it must be doing well. First of all, their beef ribs ramen is none like no other! It's their speciality and if you're eating here, you NEED to get a dish with some type of ribs. We tried the ramen because the server told us she thought it was tastier. Next time we come back, we'll try the beef ribs pho. We also had the calamari--that was yummy. Their sauce is a bit sweet but compliments it well. We also shared the lemon grass bahn mi because I was feeling a sandwich and that was cooked to perfection. The toast on the bread wasn't too crispy and the marinade on the chicken was immaculate. I didn't think I liked lemon grass but it was their only chicken option and definitely no regrets. It didn't taste lemony at all. The ambiance is super cute and clean. Definitely gives cute aunty's shop vibes. The service was great. They provided us with everything we asked for and more because we wanted to split the ramen so they gave us two bowls. They were so friendly and we'll definitely be supporting again. read more

Place is casual and many interesting pictures on the wall. The service and good were delicious! I got the #21 spicy beef soup. The broth was top notch and wasn't that spicy too me.

I've been here multiple times this past year and I got to say, it's one of the best pho places here on the leeward side of Oahu. Located in Waipahu, it's awesome to see that there are more restaurants offering pho and other Vietnamese cuisines here on this side of the island. Starting off with the food, the only thing I come here for is their Beef Back Ribs Pho!! It's basically a bowl of pho and it comes with three big bone beef ribs. The ribs are super soft and fall off the bone. You can tell that it's been simmering in their stock for hours. You can also order the beef ribs with ramen, which I still need to try. The pho soup is also top notch. It's very umami and doesn't come off too sweet like some other pho dishes I tried on the island. Aside from the pho, I do also get their spring rolls and chicken wings. The spring rolls are your usual made Vietnamese spring rolls. It comes with lettuce, rice noodles, and cucumber with their fish sauce dipping sauce. Their chicken wings are also really good. It comes deep fried and comes out very crispy. It's served with sweet chili sauce. When it comes to fining a dish I love, I always stick with that and it's the beef back ribs pho for me, but I will be trying the ramen version soon. The atmosphere here is great. It's not your biggest restaurant, but they do have a lot of tables to accommodate a lot of customers. The food also comes out really fast as well, so wait time if the restaurant is packed isn't long at all. I believe it's locally owed and the workers are very friendly and attentive. Water is always being refilled which is a huge plus. There is also ample of parking which it shares with the other tenants at the Shops at the West Loch Station. All in all, Ribs and Broth is one of my top Pho/Vietnamese restaurant on Oahu and would totally recommend this to anyone wanting pho and a cold chilly day. I believe they have multiple restaurants on the island and just opened one up in town. read more

I'm a very picky eater when it comes to my pho. I usually like my broth on the saltier and darker side. My sister has been raving about this place & said it was really good. So we decided to have lunch here. When coming in, the interior is very modern, clean & has lots of seating. We were greeted right away from our server. The menu is very to the point. Literally everything broth based (pho & ramen.) But they also had appetizers like spring rolls, fried calamari, etc, Vietnamese rice plates & bahn mi. I opted for the oxtail pho even though a part of me was going to try the beef rib pho (what they're known for), but I was craving for oxtail. We also order spring rolls for the table & my sister ordered a combo pho. I also added fried doughnuts for my pho. It's very rare to find Chinese doughnuts on the menu at a pho restaurant so I was really excited about that! It came out fresh & hot. It was perfect paired with the pho broth. The oxtail pho itself came with about 5-6 generous pieces of oxtail! I was surprised because a lot of places are stingy with the oxtail. The broth was super flavorful & up to my liking. It also had additional veggies like cabbage & carrots. ( I forgot to take a pic bc I was hungry) very very hearty meal! The server was also very friendly, helpful & attentive with our needs before us even having to ask anything. Top tier customer service that I haven't had in awhile. Overall, this place is GREAT! I can see why they have so much good reviews. Good food + good service, you can't go wrong! read more

If you're looking for pho, look no further than Ribs and Broth! Seriously, this is the best broth I've tried on the island thus far, and I'm not just saying that because of the hype, it's true. If you like a salty, flavor packed broth, this is the place to come. It's located in a little strip mall in Waipahu, next to the McDonald's and in between Hou's fish market, and Pizza Hut, so it's really easy to find! We came on a Sunday evening around 7pm with 3 kids and 2 adults. The wait was 5 minutes, which wasn't too bad for a Sunday evening. The wait staff is really professional and super kind. The inside is a little smaller, but they make it work with the spacing. It doesn't feel overcrowded at all. We ordered a rare steak pho, rare steak and beef ball pho, calamari, shrimp ramen (not pictured), and a fried Chinese breadstick (also not pictured). I wish I got photos of everything cause it was that good! I can't choose favorites because everything was great, but I will say the bread is so delicious. It's oily and puffy, similar to a puff pastry. But when you dip it in the broth? Goodness. Heaven. The calamari was crispy and yummy with the sriracha mayo. The outside was sort of like a crispy panko? I don't know how to describe it, but it was bomb. My kids also enjoyed their shrimp ramen big time. Our total was about $70? That's actually not bad at all. Prices are very fair. It's safe to say my husband and I agreed we will be making the drive out to Waipahu for pho nights. read more

Had such an amazing experience here! The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype. We got to try two new secret menu items -- the Tamarind Pork Ribs and BBQ Beef Back Ribs -- and both were incredible. The tamarind ribs had this perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory, while the beef back ribs were smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. We also tried the Beef Back Ribs Pho and Beef Back Ribs Ramen, and both were next level! The broth was rich and full-bodied, and the rib meat just melted in your mouth. The spring rolls were crispy and flavorful, and the summer rolls were super fresh and light -- perfect side dishes to round out the meal. The Beef Rib Pho was my absolute favorite. And pro tip: make sure you get the Vietnamese bread sticks... goes so well with the pho Everything came out hot and fast, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Great portion sizes too -- come hungry! The restaurant is clean and cozy. Not super big and they do get crowded so make reservations or go during the week. Definitely worth the drive out to Waipahu. Can't wait to come back and see what other new dishes they roll out! read more

What better way to cool down on this cloudy and rainy day than to eat pho. Came here for lunch and was greeted and sat immediately. It wasn't busy and you can choose your own seating. Got the menu and ordered the #19 steak & brisket pho, calamari, Chinese breadstick and vermicelli bbq pork & spring rolls. Comparing to other places, portions in the pho bowl are huge to me! Had enough to take home and eat for dinner. Lots of meat, noodles and broth are tasty. Chinese breadstick tasted airy and light, I could eat like 10 of those! I can't describe or compare it to something else i've tasted before. Vermicelli bowl was tasty and enough portion to take home as well! Service is good, we are checked up on during our lunch but after that it took a while for server to come back and give us the bill, we were waiting a while and eventually had to flag him down. read more

Some of our yelpers went to this place. I couldn't make it because I had a previous luncheon planned. Today my husband said we go have lunch because you didn't go the last time. I ordered spring rolls and my husband had beef tendon pho. He said was good but not enough tendon because beef tendon is expensive. The beef was thinly sliced but lacking some kind of taste. My spring rolls were good. Ate the whole thing. I'm really not a pho eater but I'll have something else if everybody going to a pho place. The service at first was a bit slow but can't help that they just opened at 11am. Then the server came with menus and water. We ordered and then the crowd was coming in.

First time visiting Ribs and Broth, and I was pleasantly surprised! The service was excellent--super friendly staff who made us feel welcome. The restaurant itself was clean, and you can tell it's a popular spot with a consistent flow of diners. Parking was a breeze with ample space right in front of the restaurant. My husband got the pork belly--it was cooked well and had good flavor, though nothing particularly standout. I went for the beef back ribs pho, and wow...it was HUGE! I definitely struggled to finish it, but every bite was worth it. The broth was perfectly seasoned, and the noodles were cooked just right. We also tried the breadsticks, which I've never had with pho before, but they were perfect for dipping and made the meal extra satisfying.

The whole sandwich was delicious. I give the sandwich 5 I also ordered the spring rolls. It's not made with the traditional spring roll wrapping but they used the summer roll wapping. It's more of a chewy wrapper. I like the traditional wrapping bc it's much crispier and the summer roll wrapper is a littler harder to chew. Otherwise the spring roll was delicious. I give it 4 bc I didn't really like the wrapping. Great food. I would order from them again. I highly recommend this place. read more
