Super Pho - Waialae - a bit of combos of seven courses of beef and side order of fish with soup,and my daily vietnamese coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I ordered take out pho with raw thin slices of meat and flank. As I opened my bag there was blood from the meat leaking all over the bag. I honestly feel that it is a little overpriced for little amount of food received. read more

Super Pho Waialae is my go-to spot for delicious Vietnamese food in Honolulu. The BBQ pork, beef, and chicken over cold vermicelli are packed with flavor, and the spring and summer rolls are always fresh and satisfying. I recently ordered a bunch of spring rolls for a party, and they were kind enough to arrange them beautifully on a tray--such a thoughtful touch, and my guests couldn't stop talking about them! Their Vietnamese sandwiches are big hit!!, the rice plates are hearty and tasty, and the pho is consistently excellent. Always a great experience here! read more

Amazing meal and great service! This place has a few bad reviews on Yelp so I had my hesitation about going here, but the reviews are old and I really wanted to try them out... so glad I did! An article about their "7 courses of beef" meal for 2 people sparked my curiosity and I have to say I was really pleasantly surprised and impressed. Everything that came to the table was amazing. First course was a lemon beef salad. The flavors were fresh and unique. The thinly sliced pieces of lemon added a nice citrus pop to the rare roast beef style slices of beef and all the fresh veggies. I didn't realize I could eat lemon like that! Next was a combo of courses 2-5, which had a small serving of 4 kinds of beef. Grilled beef in lot leaves (I've only ever had this dish at Bac Nam), a meatloaf style beef in a flavorful onion oil, a stick of satay beef in a sweet marinade and a piece of tender beef wrapped in a thin layer of fat. It was served with a mound of fresh veggies and vermicelli noodles and you make your own summer roll wraps. We were stuffed after this!! Then a light fondue course of raw beef and onions that we dipped in a sweet pho broth to cook it. The flavors were really good on this one, too! Sorry I forgot to photograph this one! Finally a rice porridge kind of like jook with a chicken broth flavor and prices of tender beef and crispy fried beef. It was also pretty light and refreshing considering it was rice. I loved how they had chili paste, fresh chili peppers and a special umami fermented fish and pineapple sauce for dipping. That last one is another dish I've never tried before- the flavor is awesome. The restaurant is large and clean and they have free parking in the lot beside the restaurant (enter it from the side street past 7-11, not from Waialae side bc it's a one way out). Service was really good. The 7 course meal for 2 people is currently $41.99 (as of March 2022) but the other menu items seems overpriced in comparison. We got an ice coffee and it was $6.99! BYOB! I suggest to bring your own glasses bc they give you regular water cups to drink from. read more

Best lemongrass chicken on rice. I've tried other places, but none matched the stir fry quality. Other places make it too soupy or watery.

COVID-era takeout review I can't believe I've never written a review for Super Pho before as it is one of my go-to spots in Kaimuki. Their food is reliable and consistent. They are quick and parking is free on the mauka side of the restaurant. There are a few things that are on the usual rotation... SPRING ROLLS -- Really light, crisp, tasty fillings. Served with fresh lettuce and herbs. BBQ CHICKEN/RICE PLATE -- Grilled boneless chicken thighs covered in sauteed green onions and fried shallots, served with rice, pickled veg, and fish sauce VIETNAMESE SOUR SOUP WITH CHICKEN -- When it's cold out or I'm feeling sick, this is a go to. Definitely one of those dishes that you eat and have no clue how to prepare and don't have the ingredients for at home. Folks seem to order the "Thai style" sour soup a lot more often but this is the version that I love -- and it is not easy to find in Honolulu. It's full of chicken, fried shallots, pineapple, okra, fresh basil, elephant ear stalks (is that taro stalk???) in a delicious umami broth. Unless you are Vietnamese, it is a totally unexplainable soup but just completely delicious. They weren't doing dine-in for part of the pandemic and now that they are doing so once again, it doesn't seem like their customers have returned. The last time I called in an order during peak dinner time, they had my food ready in ten minutes -- which tells me that the kitchen isn't that busy. :( Prices have increased pretty steadily over the past few years and though it's no longer a cheap meal, Kaimuki is high rent and this is one of the few, better Vietnamese spots around. They need your business. Try the soup! :) read more

The food, service, and ambiance were all great! It's a bit on the pricier side but the meal is definitely worth it.

I was frustrated when I saw the size of this $35.99 ala carte portion of pork simmered with pepper and spices. It also has a strong cooking oil taste. Compare this with the comparably priced (but huge) Zippys oxtail soup, which itself has inspired so much frustration it has become a meme. I have not left a Yelp review of a restaurant before - but this inspired me. read more

We wanted to grab lunch and ended up on Waialae Avenue. We wander around this area and looked at many restaurants. Nothing seemed to interest us. As we got closer toward the basketball court my boyfriend mentioned this Vietnamese place that he has been wanting to come back. We checked out to see if they were able to dine in and yes, they were! As soon as we walked in there was a temperature machine. We measured our temperature and put down our information for contact tracing. We were seated right away. I noticed that they seem to have renovated the place because the tables and chairs looked new. They also had curtains set up to separate the tables when it gets busy. My boyfriend has been here multiple times in the past. He raves about how the seven course beef ($37) is the best and only one on the island. So we got that for two people. So it's seven different dishes made with beef. It comes out one dish at a time. The first dish was a beef salad. It was mixed with different types of veggies and thin slices of beef. The sauce tasted sweet and sour. It felt very light and healthy after eating it. The second, third, fourth, and fifth dish was all combined in one big plate which consists of different vegetables with different flavored beef cooked. For this dish, what you do is make summer rolls with it. It was not only delicious but also fun. The 5th dish had a vinegary soup in a pot and you cook the raw beef in it. It was quick and easy, kind of like shabu shabu. The last dish was congee. This congee was more watery with rice that's much more visible in shape than the Chinese congee. It tasted delicious and not overly salted. I usually don't eat much congee but this was really good. I enjoyed the seven course beef. We were both very full after eating it. Definitely will be back again with our other friends to get them to try it. Service was great and attentive. There is parking in the back of the restaurant for free. read more

Super Pho - Waialae - Super Pho's Seven Courses of Beef "bo bay mon" $37 - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My experience ordering take out. Strike 1: They didn't take my order when I called. Upon arrival they told me I'm at the wrong location and that they don't have my order. Strike 2: they charged me $18.42 for an order of pho. As I was paying the cashier said they changed the price for the week of christmas. Strike 3: I called in curiosity as to why they raised the price for just this week. In response I was called prejudice. He explained to me how Asian ingredients are expensive because of import. It's funny because all I asked about was the price spike for the week. Then after listening to him rant he finally said it's because the price of sprouts went up. It's funny how our spouts are locally grown. But it's fine I'm not cheap. Strike 4: he talked so deeply about how the spices and taste is so important as to why he charges $18 for pho. But after all this I lost my appetite. The broth tasted thin and bland. Might give it to my dog? ‍ Thanks for reading my joke of an experience at Super Pho Kaimuki You guys successfully lost another customer read more

My Vietnamese friend suggested that we order the Super Pho Seven Courses of Beef at her favorite Vietnamese restaurant. It had a good variety of beef prepared in different ways. My favorite was the Lemon Beef Salad that we rolled up into rice paper and dipped into a delicious sauce. This restaurant not only has the best tasting food, they have the largest menu with over 100 authentic dishes. On Tuesday I ate at Broken Rice and last night I ate at Hale Vietnam, so that's 3 different Vietnamese restaurants in 3 days in a 2 block radius. This one is the only one that I ***** Highly Recommended!***** https://superphowaialae.com/ read more

Super Pho - Waialae - 7 beef course (Bo 7 mon') yummy - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I went in to have some lunch during my lunch break and when the bill came, I was told that it was going to be $50. Because I did not get any vegetables with my Pho, they brought out apparently five eggrolls instead of three and charged me $20 for five eggrolls. So for one person to eat at this establishment, it was $50. Because the bowl of Pho that I got was $20 and so was the five eggrolls. I honestly feel like I got scammed because I didn't ask for 5 egg rolls and I wouldn't have thought that it was gonna be $20 for five egg rolls. I was extremely disappointed with that especially because there were no prices on the menu either so when the bill was brought to me, I was very much confused and surprised. And on top of the outrageous prices for two items. The service was not well either. The two individuals that were at the restaurant were more focused on chatting with each other, then honesty doing their jobs. Probably not an establishment that I would go back to eat at again. read more

Love the food here everything taste so amazing I love the pho and the beef stew they have, the service they here is good too

Overpriced and not fresh at all. So disappointing because we use to frequent this place a few years ago and remembered it being tasty, fresh and reasonably priced. So sad they tried to step it up in appearance and atmosphere, but the food definitely took a step down. read more

Had the crispy spring rolls and Pho with steak and beef balls. Spring rolls were crispy and the waiter even bought a little chili sauce to add to the dipping sauce. Pho beef broth had a clean beef taste, decent amount of steak meat, could have a few more beef balls, but still good. Service was good, just had to wait a little bit to pay the bill. read more

The best remedy after a night at the bar. Oxtail pho the pho is so hot you have to let it cool down before eating it.

Haven't eaten at Super Pho in years. Parking is limited. They share the parking lot with the coffee shop. Stalls marked reserved are for the tenants of the apartment. I found metered parking on the street. I ordered the Won Tun pho with Rice Noodle. You can see in the photo that it came with shrimp, fish balls, won Tun, and noodles. For the price, there's a lot in the soup. The soup was tasty and it was refreshing. The waiters and waitresses are attentive. Once you order, the food is served right away. read more

I was craving their BBQ pork chops. It was so good to order take out. This time I ordered their crispy spring rolls too. It's funny cuz I never order that regularly but I wanted something crunchy too. I didn't realize how expensive their dishes are. Once I decided to order there anyway. It was so good. I had a hard time deciding what to get because I love their chicken salad. I need to try their other salads, I just love the chicken salad. Seriously Asian food is best with more people. It's fun to get a bunch of items and share it. You get more items to try!! Oh how I miss eating out with friends. This place is great to order takeout and eat at home., for sure! read more

We are a large group of 12 friends, getting together to have lunch, we decided to go to super pho to eat their 7 course beef ! We were sitting all together on a long table, very private and quiet location of the restaurant, the service was excellent, and the 7 course beef was delicious, very tasty and abundant, one portion is more than enough for 2 persons! The highlight of this luncheon was the very prompt and courteous service by more than 2 employees, one of them is John Phat! We highly recommend this restaurant, we'll return again to try their other dishes! read more

Wow, 10 years and we still enjoy coming here! Although we have moved out of the area, we still make the trip for food pick ups or a little get away into town when we are craving her spicy Bun Bo Hue. There is something for everyone in our family when we dine here in our old stomping grounds. I am happy to see this place still thriving and still delicious! Recent additions include renovations and updates to help alleviate pressures of covid social distancing. Take a look around at the art work and the Super Pho foodie feature article a few years back! It is a good read to learn more about the owner and her business history. Also, my husband and I were interviewed and mentioned . No pressure. Of course; the same lovely people with a couple of new and friendly faces greet us and chat. We look forward to visiting again tomorrow. read more

I was sent completely raw beef for my pho. This isn't rare, this is completely raw and absolutely dangerous to your health. I called the restaurant about it and they tried to sell me a BS line about putting it in the pho and it would cook. I totally understands how that works, but this was not going to work for RAW meat. I'm outraged and totally disgusted. I just ordered this exact same meal from them on December 9th and it looked nothing like this. I've been eating pho for most of my life and I've never, ever seen anything like this. In response to your comment Angie T: I definitely did my homework. I guess you thought I wouldn't understand your comment, but I definitely do. read more

It's been a while since I had great vietnamese food this place definitely hit the spot. The only thing I would say is this place is a tad bit more expensive then the usual norm. Catfish braised stew was so good literally best I've had in a while. Would 100% order again. It wasn't too salty or sweet and had a nice depth of flavor. Fish was tender also like how it should be. Catfish Sour Soup was very good. Kind of wish it was more sour for my taste but the Pineapple added in the dish makes it a bit sweeter which is perfect fine and still delicious. Beef and Lemon Salad was a nice appetizer to start out with. Very refreshing and the beef wasn't overcooked and the sauce was just right. The Durian Milkshake had real durian in it and the Pandan Drink was very good 5 stars on the drinks Downside of these dishes But Bo Hue just tasted like spicy noodle soup. Doesn't really have that bun Bo Hue taste if you know what I mean. Wouldn't order again. Next the Spring Roll for $12 was not worth the price. Tasted like average spring rolls and the peanut sauce on the side was average But I would definitely recommend the dishes I spoke well of in this review you won't be disappointed. read more

Such a gem in Kaimuki. I just ordered their short rib and OMG! One of the best short ribs/Kalbis I've ever had. Don't let the reviews dissuade you -- it's definitely a great hole in the wall find. The fresh lemonade is also fantastic, but ask for 20% less sugar. read more

Super Pho - Waialae - Short rib - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Lately been coming here a lot for pho recently! It's become our favorite place. I usually get the pho tai Bo vien (rare steak/beef ball) and my other half gets their pho with the tripe, tendon, beef, and flank, all super tender. The broth is very flavorful. You can taste all the herbs, anise, and I feel like there's notes of cinnamon. But it's definitely not watered down. All the times we went to eat in, or get take out the food is always consistent. I've recently got to try their bun with bbq pork and spring roll. It's a good portion, their bbq pork is full of flavor and bbq char. Not thick or chewy. Only sad part for me is I love spring rolls, and other places serve at least 2 pieces of spring roll in their bun. This place only serves 1 piece cut into 3. But other then that it's still really good! read more

Super Pho - Waialae - Pho with Rare Steak and Beef Balls - Vietnamese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My favorite pho in town. It's a great value as they give a good amount of beef and meat balls. I like my pho a specific way, and they shockingly, have never gotten it wrong. This is pretty above and beyond for me, as mistakes happen, and I've eaten here for several years! I like my broth a little lighter than others, so if you like that really pungent pho, this may not be the place for you. But, if you prefer a lighter pho that's really refreshing, especially with a squeeze of lemon, then this is the pho for you. Quick and easy, and their take out containers rock! I legit get like a month or two of repeated use from then for home lunch. Honestly, I think for what you get the price is really good. I actually hope they are charging enough to make a go, as I'd be so bummed if they closed. read more

Came here for the 7 courses of beef. My mom found out this place served it on youtube and I was hyped. We pretty much came as soon as she found out! 7 course beef is something special that no one really serves, especially in Hawaii. It consists of course 1- lemon beef salad , course 2-5 various type of beefs that are cooked different ways that you wrap with rice paper and veggies, course 6 - beef fondue, and 7 beef congee. My favorites were def the courses 1-5. The salad was super fresh and probably cause I was hungry! haha. But courses 2-5 were very special and I loved eating the various types of beef with the rice paper rolls. There were also two very special sauces , your typical fish sauce and another really pungent sauce (but very good). They ask you for your choice but we wanted to try both and I don't think we got charged extra for it. My boyfriend also got the pho! We really liked their broth. I would def come back here to try other dishes but the 7 course beef was really special and all of the courses were good but I just especially liked those certain ones. read more

I think the standout things at Super Pho are the BBQ pork chop and the combination pho. I can't really speak much to the pork chop except I had a bf whose fave at Vietnamese restaurants is this. His favorite spot to get the pork chop is super pho and I think it's tasty and not too skimpy too. The combination pho (rate steak, brisket, tripe, and tendon) is terrific! The broth is flavorful, they give lots of veggies and basil and it comes with the long skinny leaves (coriander?) too! What I love is that the meat portions are pretty healthy and the tendon they serve is thick and soft! The rare steak is also generous comparatively speaking. It's a little more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurants but I feel like you get significantly more meat. Oh yeah and you can get clear noodles instead (bean thread). I originally got this bc I read the rice noodles are super carb heavy. Now I prefer the taste of clear noodles in my pho! Also, and this may not mean anything to other people, when you dine in, they have a really good soda selection. They usually have Coke Zero! It's not on the menu, but I always see the boxes near the display case. You just have to ask. Lastly, I live near Super Pho and if you ever order Uber Eats from them you know... THEY ARE FAST!!! I swear they always have their app open. I can have my order in hand within 20 minutes of ordering it. Not sure if I should be gate keeping that... read more

Went for a quick lunch in between appointments. Haven't been back since the beginning of the pandemic so I decided to give it a go.

Ordered pho with rare beef and beef brisket but got only rare beef. Then found a long hair in my noodles which is really unacceptable! Soup taste decent with the chili paste but noodles definitely tasted weird. Given that they are only service take out orders, food preparations in the kitchen apparently is poor. My friend got Bun with spring rolls and bbq pork where he only got 6 small pieces of bbq pork and 2 small cut up pieces of spring rolls with the rest of the dish is 90% noodles. I do not expect much from pho with togo orders but this has not been a good experience at all. read more

The bo 7 mon is a lot of very tasty food. Big range of flavors and preparations and it comes out with a huge plate of veggies and garnish. The congee at the end was so good! Great way to have a leisurely meal making rice paper rolls. Customer service was excellent! Very friendly and attentive. read more
