Amazing pho, great service, and fair prices. Saito and Pho is one of my new favorite stops in Kaneohe.

My girlfriend and I just happened upon Saito & Pho and decided to try it for lunch. The service was OK and we didn't't have to wait for a table, which is always a plus these days. I had the pork ban mi, which I love. My ban mi had a delicious bun, which is very important to me, but the pickled daikon and carrot's were pretty flavorless. It was like they weren't pickled long enough or the brine was too watery. I am particular about ban mis and this one disappointed me. My girlfriend ordered the hot udon with tempura. I am not a big fan of udon but the broth was deep and delicious. My girlfriend really enjoyed it. The tempura wasn't the tempura you'd expect ion a Japanese restaurant because the batter is pretty thick and not light and airy. The tempura was delicious non the less, very crispy and a generous portion. I may return to try the pho next time. read more

First time coming to Saito and Pho. It was very quick to get seated. We also got our food within like 10-15 minutes. The chicken Katsu was nice and crispy and with the side order of curry was also good. The curry was not spicy but was also thick enough for it to work well with the Katsu. Overall, it kinda gave a nice mom and pop kinda restaurant where it felt like you just came back home. read more

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. read more

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! read more

One of our favorite spots! Do yourself a favor and get the Vermicelli Noodles. Lemongrass Chicken and rolls are always so ono. Price is fair and servings are solid. read more

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). read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

It really depends on what you order. The rice plates are good. The wafu steak is quite delicious and enjoyable. On the other hand, the pho is not as good as the other pho restaurants that have popped up. Overall, the place is a bit pricey. It makes sense for those good rice plates, but not so much for the pho. I've only ordered takeout from here, but ambiance otherwise looks nice and welcoming. However, if you are ordering takeout, you'll have to go to the bar to pick it up. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

I found the service not so friendly, I was treated poorly I feel. I was the only one in the place that wasn't Japanese: the waitstaff was very unfriendly towards me and because I asked questions they looked at me like I was dumb'! Not friendly, no smiles, zero customer service to me, but to others: very short with me. I felt very unwelcome. Food was great! For the service and the way I was treated tho: should have went next door to the Mexican restaurant. read more

Delicious pho and spring rolls. My go-to place when in Kaneohe side. So Yummy!!! Service is very fast, plenty of tables, lots of convenient parking, friendly staff, and they have cocktails too! Haven't been there in the evening, but i imagine it's a good after work wind-down spot. Try them out!!! read more

Even tho they're grouchy the pho , the spring rolls and the pate bahn mi is yummy. So I normally do Uber Eats with to is spot!

Food: Broth has delicious depth of a combination of spices, sugars and salts. Portions are amazing and give you exactly what you're looking for. The pho, Rolls, and wings are my go to. Service: Customer service is spot on a quick, they're attentive and ensure your table's needs are met. Definitely kid friendly and great play to get drinks, eat food, and hang out. Ambience: Definitely a great place to bring family and friends. Have been eating pho for 15 years and this spot definitely takes me back to my childhood eating pho. read more

We decided to take our Mothers for an early, non congested night out to beat the Mother's Day rush on the weekend and this place was highly recommended. The waitress who took our order was very helpful and friendly...but once the food came out, nothing after that. Neither the initial waitress nor the man behind the bar, came back to our table. We waited for almost 20 minutes after our meal for them to bring us our bill, until we resolved to go and ask for it. While other tables were given attention and had already refilled cups 2-3 times, they never came to refill our cups even once. Food was good - service was lacking. Will not return. read more

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. read more

Pho was great. Broth was so flavorful and delicious. We got the medium portion and it was still huge! The chicken curry was also great as was the papaya salad. I was underwhelmed with the crab Rangoon, not enough filling and a little over fried in my opinion. But everything else was so good I would strongly recommend a visit! Tucked in a strip mall and packed at lunch time. read more

Came here for the first time. Another great place for Pho. I like the decor which hows off the new renovations of the place. Service was friendly. The large pho I ordered was delicious and a good size portion. The only negative was that took a lot longer than other Pho restaurants to get our food. Still, I'm glad to have another great Pho places to add to my list to eat at. read more

I recommend trying Saito & Pho again if you weren't too impressed years ago. I decided to give it another try and was not disappointed. I ordered 2 delicious takeout items. The eye round steak & brisket pho had such a tasty broth that I drank the whole thing, which I have never done before for pho or ramen. There were ample veggies to add to the pho. Both meat were tender. I ordered a large size. It was enough to feed 2 people or one hungry person. The BBQ Pork & Spring Roll Vermicelli had a good amount of pork. The veggies and fish sauce was portioned well. I ordered my takeout once I reached the restaurant and only waited 10 minutes for my lunch order. There was a steady stream of take out orders picked up while I was there. It was a particularly rainy and windy day. The warm tasty pho hit the spot. It is definitely worth a visit! Please go back and give them another chance if you weren't too impress and haven't been there in over a year. read more

Only been here twice. Most of the food is very good, with their Spring Rolls being the highlight gor me, as they have a very flaky crunch & great flavor. Not that I have eaten the Spring Rolls from every restaurant, but these are the best I have ever had. Wife had the Ginger Basa both times, which she said was a little salty, but overall flavor was good. What I initially liked, was that I had 3 options when I ordered my BBQ Kalbi plate. I could order it as just the BBQ Kalbi, add sashimi, or add sashimi & tempura. First visit, I chose to do the triple combo. Kalbi had really good flavor to it, but could have used a little less char. The sashimi was previously frozen, which I could tell by the looks & texture. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as sashimi can be very expensive, but my preference is always to have fresh sashimi. The menu doesn't specify either way, so while I was hoping for fresh, I'm not mad about it being previously frozen. To me, the tempura was definitely the already prepared store bought stuff, which was a little disappointing. The appearance of the shrimp & vegetables were very different, which was the dead giveaways for being the store bought stuff, and shrimp were too consistent in size & shape to be made fresh. All of it was overcooked, dark brown versus a very light yellowish color of fresh made product, and the batter for the shrimp was super hard. Definitely not going to order the sashimi or tempura ver again. Service experience was different between our 2 visits. First visit, we sat on one of the tables in front of the bar, which are stright in when you walk through the door to the restaurant. Our waitress was very attentive, so no complaints there. Second visit was a very different experience, as we sat at a table that was next to a wall at the side of the bar, which was located to the left as you enter. Aside from taking our orders, bring us our initial cups of water, and later our food, no attention at all by anyone. It should be a standard to check on your customer, to refill their water or at least check if it's needed. Unfortunately, all of the attention was only given to the customers on the tables in front of the bar. Won't make this mistake again, definitely going to sit at a table in front of the bar for any future visits. We'll definitely be back, as there are other items on the menu that we were interested in. read more

Came here on a Friday night and they were pretty busy but was seated immediately. The portions are appropriate for the price and it was very tasty. I got the Pho and it hit the spot.

It was a rainy and cold afternoon so my family and I decided to eat some pho. We barely come to Windward side, so we had to Yelp a good pho place. Saito and Pho had good reviews so we came here. It was a clean and nice spot with not much people. Lots of seating available. Once inside, they greeted us and told us to grab a table. They were quick to take our order and food arrived fairly quick. The pho was so delicious. Full of flavor. My pho did not lack beef balls at all. There were so many! The spring rolls were fresh and crispy. Didn't have enough lettuce to wrap but it was still good. Also the Thai tea was really good. Not too sweet and very refreshing. Will come here again when on this side. read more

This restaurant is awesome, food is delicious, especially the lemongrass chicken. The vermicelli and spring roll is my favorite.

I've been to this restaurant several times, but this is my first time writing a review. I've had the wafu steak before, the chicken, curry, and a few other things. The steak is always good. Super tender and super tasty. The curry wasn't my favorite. For this particular visit, I was ono for pork chops. So I got the barbecue pork chops and added tempura and sashimi. The meal also comes with miso soup and toss salad. The pork chops were very tasty and the meat was tender. The sashimi was super fresh, but the tempura was just OK. Honestly, the shrimp tempura reminded me of the kind you get from Costco. That's not a bad thing, but when you eat at a restaurant, you would hope that it would be a fresh batter. The service was great. The waitress seemed happy to help and was attentive. read more

Saito & Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Cute little restaurant located inside of Windward City Shopping Center. There's bar seating towards the left of the room with 4-tops towards the middle and right side of the room. They close around 830p so you can get your last order in around 8p or so. It feels family-owned with their children and their children's friends helping service the restaurant. The food is always prepared and served in a timely manner, whether it's dine-in or take-out. But let's talk about the curry here because it is on another level! Like yellow Thai curry and Japanese curry had a baby, it is SO good! The curry has taro chunks inside, alongside carrot, onions, and potato. You can get it with chicken or shrimp. As for the pho broth, that is also so flavorful with lots of cilantro and spices to make it pop. The crab rangoons had a nice crunch, but I would've like for it to be a little bit more creamy in the center, it was a little dry for me, but lots of crab meat in there nonetheless. As for the Vietnamese coffee, it's strong and good coffee. We come here all the time now (at least 3-4 times a month), the food and service is consistent and the meal is always filling, I never leave here hungry. read more
