    Combo Pho
    Wayne I.

    Saito & Pho is such a cool spot because you get the best of both worlds -- Vietnamese and Japanese food under one roof. If you're craving comfort, the Combo Pho is the move. You'll get a little bit of everything: beef, sliced rare beef, brisket, meatballs, tendon, and tripe. Super hearty, super flavorful, and perfect for when you can't decide what you're in the mood for. Plenty of free parking at Windward City Shopping Center.

    Very surprised to find a decently tasty pho noodle place in Kaneohe. Restaurant was moderately busy on a Sunday afternoon. Parking is ok and there are an ample places to park. Interior was a little dark and maybe not cleanest but chalk it up as party of experience. Waitstaff appeared to be a couple so service many a little slow. Ordered a medley of items such as pho, spring rolls, sandwiches. Food came out quickly. Nothing disappointed. Food hit the spot! Crispy spring rolls were crunchy, beef noodle soup very full body, noodles were cooked perfectly. Sandwich was hearty and filling. Thai tea made a great accompaniment. Will definitely be back!

    Originally came here to have some pho, but was blown away by the options given. They offer plate lunches that comes with miso soup and salad. You can also upgrade your meal and add on sashimi and tempura. The shrimp and vegetable tempura was my favorite!! Everything you order comes out fresh. They cook everything to order. Fast and quick service. The only down fall was when I saw the server fixing her hair by the counter in front of packed food. She was doing the most putting her hair in a bun while watching something on her phone. Also noticed white rings around the cups like they weren't thoroughly washed. I know they weren't hard water stains because I took the stain off by rubbing it with my fingers. The restaurant itself is big and looked organized and clean. Just some hygiene practices need to be enforced with the staff. All in all I gotta say food was delicious and I'm pretty impress how they cooked everything to order (nothing sitting under a warmer).

    First time today! My daughter visiting from Kauai and she wanted to visit her grandparents at Hawaii State Veterans Cemetery. We had already planned to eat here after. I found prime parking right next to the restaurant located in the Windward shopping center. Service was great! Promptly greeted and then served our waters. Such a nice restaurant! Love the color of the walls, color that creates calmness :) My daughter ordered us gyoza and springs rolls for appetizers. She got the medium brisket with meatballs pho, my son got the Wafu steak and I got the medium combo pho. We also got the French press iced coffee. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! We left with happy bellies! Thank you Saito & Pho Kaneohe! Service was superb!

    With the cold and rainy weather that's hitting our state this weekend, it's a great idea to fill the belly with delicious and warm food. Here at Saito and Pho, you have the best of both Japanese and Vietnamese flavors at your fingertips. We enjoyed the pho, tonkatsu, a pork sandwich and an order of crab rangoons. #bigboyproblems

    Was around the shopping center and have been craving pho we stopped by this restaurant for lunch. You're able to choose your own seats and the server/host brings you the menu. Upon ordering we weren't greeted at all, older gentlemen just came by the table and stared at us, not a single "hello" or "what can i get for you?" just stared, it was lowkey awkward. We ordered our food and then he just said "okay" and left. Service is a 1/5. Food is good if you're around the area. I've had better on the West Side. I always get steak and brisket, add hoisin, chili oil and it's what makes the pho delicious.

    Side of noodles don't like mushy noodles edamame and Vegan broth veggie Pho. Delicious
    Anjelita S.

    I love coming here. I'm a Vegan and I had a few Vegan broth Pho and to be honest other places, their broth is tasteless and watered down not here! It was seasoned well and had a great taste and lots of veggies that were al dente. I DISLIKE mushy veggies and as you can see it's a big soup bowl that I didn't even make a dent it so portions are a lot. Service is excellent and prompt I didn't wait long to receive my food and my waitress kept checking to see if I needed anything which I didn't. Ambiance was great clean and welcoming if ever in Kaneohe stop bring an appetite and enjoy a bowl of pho and edamame.

    This is a hidden gem tucked away in the corner of Windward City Shopping Center. For those having a hankering for Asian food, this is the place to go. Their soups have a wonderful broth and are served hot. I like their pot stickers which are delivered crispy and hot. The service is very good and on our last visit, there were only 3 servers for 20 tables. Yet these folks were able to keep up with helping the guests. Highly recommend visiting this place. You won't be disappointed!

    Second, time here, decided to give them a try again, first time everything was ok,food good. Today, Tuesday we came before the dinner crowd, it was a good time for us as there was a staff of two upfront, we chose our table, had to wait awhile for the menu's. & water to come. Staff of a male & female were not overly friendly. The female took our order& the food arrived ample time. My wife's Brisket pho was a very good portion& commented how tasty the broth was! I had the wafu steak, very well seasoned & came delivered on a sizzling plate w/ cooked onions in a delicious sauce. Came with miso soup & bowl of toss salad. We had a side of tempura with shrimp & sweet potato with dipping sauce. While the food is delicious and we appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant , their staff is efficient, but lack that Aloha friendly, warm vibe.3 stars for this visit. Would return for the food , but probably not bring in friends for a hosted party!

    Wafu steak is great
    Rob B.

    The food is really good! Probably best for carrying out, I dined in but they weren't happy for people to dine in. I thought it was just me, but others were treated dispassionately, as well. The guy with the pony tail, wouldn't look at me while I placed the order. Facing the computer screen I couldn't tell if he was hearing me until the order came, also half wrong. It was still yummy and a happy I went for the dinner but not the reception.

    Saito Pho is definitely worth checking out. One of the best pho spots I've been to on the east side of the island. The broth is perfectly seasoned--not too salty, just full of flavor. The noodles have that perfect bouncy texture and the portions they give are generous. The service was fast

    Saw this place on yelp,as well as other people mentioned about there's 2 other locations. So after my husband blood draw this morning I drove to the windward side and tried this place for lunch. I wanted to eat their waffle steak with onions and my husband said he'll try their beef tendon pho. He said the broth was very good although some of the slice beef were chewy, fishballs were very good lots of vermicelli noodles as well. Now to the waffle steak it came our on a sizzling plate. This meal comes with rice, toss salad, miso soup. You can choose also with sashimi or tempura for a extra cost. I ordered the steak with sashimi. The steak was certain parts chewy but other parts were very good and tender. Came with onions and their sauce was with poured with shoyu sugar mixture. The sashimi was fresh the toss salad was just mainland lettuce with thin slices of carrots with Italian dressing. Miso soup was nice temp hot. All in all it was good and will try something else the next time.

    My friend and I went here on a whim after my shift on the way home and I was pleasantly surprised…read moreby what we got! We each got a dinner special (tonkotsu and fried pork chop ramen) with gyoza and kimchi and for the price of $18.99 it is quite hard to defeat. for starters the ramen was relatively big for a normal special and was unique with the edition of wood ear mushrooms in the broth which added a nice touch of flavour and texture to the meal. the gyoza was bigger than most places we go and had tons of crisp and actual pork/chicken in there compared to most places that skimp for veggies instead which was nice. the kimchi doh was the ironically the shining star of the meal with actual sour taste and quality gochujang!!! on top of that the food came out quite fast and despite it being a relatively packed house we all were promptly checked on and drinks refilled by the solo hostess so no complaints there! its nice to see a ramen place be adventurous and try fusing different asian cuisines and making it work too! I'd definitely try their other things like their spicy beef noodles/rice bowl.

    The tan tan ramen... not good. I ordered it mild and it was so filled with five spice flavored…read morechili oil that it was inedible. This is not tan tan. There were no flavors of sesame or really any flavor besides the pepper and five spicy of the chili oil. The appetizers were all clearly bought from Costco and heated up, nothing was home made. 2 stars because the tonkotsu ramen was edible but that's about it.

It really felt like a family owned business, and the same three people were there both days. Everyone was extremely nice, and honestly, I would come back just because of how welcoming they were. We ordered the sesame chicken with fried rice, and the portion of sesame chicken was huge. I definitely wasn't expecting that much food, but I'm not complaining. The chicken was really crispy and had a great flavor. The food also came out pretty quickly, so there wasn't much of a wait. One thing I really appreciated was how attentive they were with the water. I drink a lot of water, especially with how hot it is in Hawaii, and I mentioned that when we first sat down. Every time my glass started getting low, the gentleman would come over and refill it without me even having to ask. He probably refilled it 8 to 10 times, which I really appreciated. The music was also really good, and we had a nice window seat where we could look outside. The seating was comfortable and the whole experience was just really pleasant. I would definitely recommend coming here, especially if you appreciate good food and genuinely friendly service.

It came with a soft boiled egg, tons of garlic, a thick piece of pork, green onions, and nori. Service was quick and your ramen comes on a tray. There was tons of seating right in front. There was also a sign stating they do offer takeout as well. But, I think it's best to eat there! Overall, such a convenient and quick quality meal when you need a break from shopping.
