Lemongrass Chicken & Egg Roll Vermicelli Noodles
Bethany W.

This place fulfilled a craving. Portion sizes were good and prices were fair. Service was friendly and fast, no complaints. Inside is spacious and has plenty of seating; my uncle's electric scooter fit inside fine. Overall, nothing amazing but solid place to get pho!

Wrapped spring roll

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!

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

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!

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.

Beef ball pho & steak pho
Christine M.

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.

This was probably my favorite meal during my whole trip. I'm writing this review late, and can tell…read moreyou that even though it's been a year, I still think about the food we got from here, more than I'd like to admit. Adela's is a small, take-out order only place, but extremely busy. We phoned in the order ahead of time and the wait time was about 45 mins. We got the Sweet Potato Noodles with Garlic Butter and Lechon. Gracious, it was delicious. Worth every penny. The lechon was crispy, tender, and flavorful. The noodles had the perfect texture and paired flawlessly with the garlic butter. We also got Okinawan Sweet Potato Poi Bread, but this unfortunately was blown out of the water by the noodles. I would not order the bread again, but would instead order 2 plates of food for myself, diets be damned. Easiest 5/5 of my life.

We drove 40 minutes from our hotel to eat here because the photos looked so good, but the…read moreexperience was a mixed bag. First, the cashier lady was extremely rude. She seemed like she was not too fond of tourists at all. To make things worse, there is no indoor seating. Since we were so far from our hotel, we ended up having to eat the food in our car. The food itself had massive highs and lows. The Lechon Pork Belly was amazing and delicious. I wish it had a few more purple onions, but the meat itself was a solid 10/10. However, the Garlic Butter Shrimp was horrible. It was probably the worst I have had in a very long time. The large photos on the actual menu inside the restaurant show large, unpeeled shrimp. What we actually got was small, already-peeled shrimp that tasted more like freezer burn than actual garlic butter. The service issues continued when I picked up the food. I noticed my Coke was missing and asked for it. The lady handing out the food asked the cashier if I had been charged for a soda, and the cashier said no. I know for a fact I paid for it after doing the math myself. There were other people waiting in line behind me, so I just said forget it, took my food, and left. Go for the pork belly, but skip the shrimp, double-check your receipt, and prepare for a cold shoulder at the counter.

I remember my first noods, and because the foods so good, I know I won't forget how good it is…read more If you didn't know, the first noods location is actually in Kaimuki, which is the first time I tried their ramen. So of course, I was in the area and I am a biiiig ramen lover, I had to try this location. I've tried an abundant of ramen from Noods, but my go-to is their vegan ramens because they have so many options and I could use a little vegan meal in my life every now and then (because of my acne). The ambiance may not be a restaurant, but it's ramen, you can't be asking for much, just good food and good place to enjoy. Since this location is in a food court, it's gotta have fast service, which it did. Service is also a lot more simple than the restaurant because over here you order in one area and then you have to pick it up at the other end when it's ready. The food court provides ample seating, but I suggest grabbing a seat first before ordering so that you get a table near the ramen bar and you don't have to walk far with a large bowl of ramen across a busy food court. Overall, the ramen(s) I've eaten here have lived up to the standard I expect from Noods, which is great. This means you don't have to go all the way to Kaimuki to get some good, quality ramen.

They have been at their Kamehameha Highway location for 43 years...must be doing something right. Decor looks straight from the 80's too...dated but nice..."Back to the Future."

We did have a pre-order issue, though. Since I arrived early to make sure everything was set, it was an easy recovery but still disappointing. One pre-order dish was egg fu yong. While the server was reviewing the order with me, she said they didn't have it that day. I told her I wasn't notified when I pre-ordered like I was told "no steamed fish" but I just increased the quantities for the other items and it was seamless for the rest of the guests. She did say but I ordered early enough to get my Peking duck. (If we didn't get that I would have them been pretty annoyed.) Food: Not quite as good as last Christmas but still good. Minute chicken cake noodle - chicken was a bit dry and a little tough. Noodles, gravy, Choi sum was good. Soft gau gee mein (family loves our noodles) was better - very tasty, but the gravy was overflowing and spilling all over. Peking duck - half duck, with buns. Came with the customary plum (hoisin) sauce but no green onions/scallions. Not the same without it but was good. Duck skin was crispy, duck meat wasn't dry. Shrimp chips were stale, though. Walnut shrimp was good. Shrimp was slightly overcooked but not enough to matter. Beef broccoli was very good, but not sure they gave us two orders, seemed small compared to the other dishes which we had upped from 1-1/2 to 2. Overall, it's challenging to get good Chinese food now days so we were all satisfied with the food, good service, and the ease of having the dishes come out timely. Hopefully the next time the food will have gone back up in quality and I can give 4 stars.

Golden Pho is a treasure. This owner-operated restaurant makes you want to come back for more…read more That's not great for me since I'm a townie and Golden Pho is located in Kaneohe. But if I'm on the Windward side, this is my go-to, all the time. They have one of the most extensive menus I've seen in a Vietnamese joint--everything from bahn mi, to udon noodles, to curries, to pho, to noodle soups, to appetizers, to à la carte entrees, to desserts. There is something for everyone and it gives me reason to keep coming back to try different dishes. So far, I had the shrimp udon (but slurped that up so quickly I didn't get a picture), papaya salad, lemongrass tofu vermicelli, and shrimp summer rolls. Hubby enjoyed the Pho, MIL adores the pork udon. Came here on a date, with the MIL, and with friends. Received great service each time and devoured all our dishes with delight. Not one thing to complain about. Also love their variety of sauces available on the table--don't even have to ask! The coffee was delicious too. I had it black and it was rich and smooth, no bitterness at all. And I split the fried banana dessert with friends (avoided the ice cream)...which I should mention I'm pescatarian and I avoid dairy. Love a place where I can enjoy my meal along with the company of my meat-eating, dairy-drinking loved ones. Again, something for everyone. Parking is on the side of the building. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Restrooms are very clean. Worth the drive to the 96744 zip code. Will definitely be back soon!

I'll get down to it so you can logistically plan your visit :)…read more Parking: Free - right next to the restaurant. Inside/Outside Seating: Tight seating inside but it felt cozy during the rainstorms we've been having. They also have beautiful outdoor seating too. Definitely a nice homey gem to take someone special. Food: this place is definitely underrated. The vermicelli, pho, stir fried udon, all bangers. Theres only such a handful of super good food on this side and I'm definitely adding it to my list. The food is simple no frills but it tastes like a nice homemade meal with love. I really appreciate that they don't load half of the vermicelli dish with veggies. Instead, they gave us the veggies on the side. Service: Friendly Mom and Pops ran establishment. The owners actually have several other locations in town called "Pho Viet" but each is equally as tasty in my opinion. Overall 4/5 because I've tasted the best of the best and this is close!
