The broth tasted more like water than anything. It definitely didn't taste like beef bones were boiled for a long period of time to create the broth. It will satisfy your pho cravings but it definitely is not good pho.

We placed an order online, but when we arrived, they had not gotten it because of the problem with…read morethe computer. BUT.... we still walked out of there in less than five minutes! AND...even if it had taken longer, it would've been worth the wait! The Pork Banh mi was amazing...the best I've ever had!

Hands down consistent delicious food. I generally give them 5 stars. Not today as the service was…read morerude and not consistent with what I've previously experienced. Actually the lady announced it to everyone that "we just let people seat themselves nowadays" to another customer which was towards us. As we walked in we were not greeted. So we picked a seat and sat down. Then we seen the sign amongst all the other signs. Truly embarrassing experience and if she just told us or had we seen the sign we would have known. Ambiance is opened air with little AC. Clean but could use updating of their customer service and signage.

Found a thai food gem in the town of Keaau. We ordered several things and they were all delicious:…read morethe chicken pad thai, the cashew chicken, the honey walnut shrimp, and fried rice. So much food! And the prices are reasonable. Again, all were delicious. We got it to go, and the food came out in 5 minutes. We were met with very friendly greetings, patience while we looked at the menu, and pleasant conversation while I paid. Lots of seating in the restaurant, very clean and spacious. I'll definitely be back.

Which was spotless, the tables slightly sticky, but of course we just ended the lunch crowd, and perhaps perfect would be like a five star restaurant. Salt and pepper pork and fish was delicious, we also had the combination fried rice . They also have lunch from the steam table. Lots of customers traffic meanings your food will be freshly made.

My friend and I have been trying a bunch of different places for Pho lately. I think this might be…read morethe best so far! The broth was deeply flavored, the perfect mix of all the flavors. Not only is the food great but the service was as well. We waited a little bit because it was packed and as we're waiting we got to talking story with an auntie that was also waiting. Long story short she ended up joining us and we had an awesome time! Pho Viet is an awesome place in Hilo. It feels warm and inviting. Everyone was very friendly.

My wife has been raving about this "pho" place in Hilo for a while now. I finally got a chance to…read moretry it and it did not disappoint. First off, any place my wife wants to go to several times means it must be at the top of the food chain! Pho Viet is located in back of Garden Exchange. Apparently there are two pho places so look for Pho Viet - on the right side. Be careful when walking from Haili street as there are sketchy people hanging out on both sides of the road. (What happened Hilo??). Unfortunately there is hardly any parking so you probably have to walk to the restaurant from away. When you go inside the place is pretty small like 6-8 tables but it's constantly filled with people. They all look like they are enjoying their meal. The lady that runs the place is super nice and lets my wife bring her own "additions" to the pho. The pho is really good and you can choose from the usual choices - flank, beef round, tendon, meatball. The broth is delicious and you can order extra noodles which I did. The chili pepper sauce is really really good but make sure you taste and taste. I made mine a little too spicy and had to add more broth - which they made and gave to me. Excellent!!!!!! After eating the bowl, I felt good. I was stuffed but in a good way. The feeling lasted all night and I never had to eat again for the rest of the day and I slept great ! There was a constant flow of people. I guess everyone knows how good this place is. My brother in law says this place is the best in Hilo. I believe it.

My daughter said her banh mi was perfect, the bread was crunchy but soft. The service was ok. I think it's just the 2 of them so I have to give them props. I will be going back pretty soon for some delicious pho :)

This spot is located in Hilo, street parking can be difficult, but that's expected in most of the…read moretown. We came on a weekday evening around 8 PM, and were quickly seated. The servers were running around all night, and it seemed that they were a little bit understaffed. However, they still did their best to attend to us, and food came out promptly. As most other pho shops, they provide plenty of bean sprouts, mint, lemons, and sauces (oyster sauce/Sriracha) to enjoy. Pho Rare Beef (6.5/10) - the broth was good, flavorful, rich and salty as expected from Vietnamese pho. As this spot is kind of a Viet/Chinese fusion, don't go in expecting the best pho of your life. However, the broth is definitely delicious and will fix your pho cravings - only comment is regarding the beef itself. Some of the pieces were definitely a little thicker, tougher, and at points difficult to chew. The beef was not then these sliced into the brisket that I'm used to finding, but that's OK Overall, pretty good pho spot on the Big Island with quite tasty broth. Only wish that the beef was either thinner and easier to chew, or more tender.

I'm unsure of how she couldn't see the shoyu stains nor the chili sauce on the napkins. It felt very unsanitary. We then placed our orders knowing what we wanted and the food came out surprisingly fast for oxtail PHO. The pho barely had any vegetables inside and when I bit into the oxtail it tasted frozen. The meat was hot but it almost tasted as if it was in the freezer too long. Not to mention the price ($23) for a bowl the size of my two hands! We also tried their rice cake and it wasn't fresh at all! The lady who took our order grabbed it from the refrigerator and hopped it in the microwave for a few seconds and served it to us. I don't think I would ever come back here again, I don't care how nice the waitress was, as a person who loves PHO, I was severely disappointed.

Dirty bathroom, flies flying everywhere. I ordered a Thai tea for my beverage and spicy garlic shrimp for my meal. The Thai tea was canned, it was delicious, but I was surprised that they did not make it homemade. The spicy garlic shrimp were out of this world!!! Lots of flavor, amazing texture, and the rice had a sweet tinge to it, I also enjoyed the fresh vegetables that came alongside the meal, All in all, this would be 5 stars if they tighten up their cleanliness and customer service + impeccability.
