The Pho is so delicious!! Also order the Vietnamese sanwhich and it's so fresh and tasty! My second time eating here this week and I'm so happy I came the other day to try it! The broth tastes so flavorful. Instead of eating somewhere unhealthy, this is where I will be going to eat out. read more

Terrible customer service I always buy food here and spend a lot of money for times where I'm sick or my family is sick. Came in one night asking to buy a little soy sauce and a little oyster sauce to make my family. A stirfry dish offered to pay for just a little soy sauce and a little oyster sauce got met with attitude and Snooty response from the girl that works and takes orders. Is that what Aloha is all about? I get it. It's a Vietnamese restaurant, but we're all about Aloha. Black rock next-door gave me a little oyster sauce and didn't even bother to charge me. Tell you a little bit about the character and the way that you treat customers, especially when I'm willing to pay for a little oyster sauce and soy sauce. Doesn't take much but means a lot to a good customer that always comes there and spends money in times where every business needs to be accommodated with business. read more

Hands down, this is my FAVORITE Vietnamese restaurant on Big Island and I've eaten at several. I recommend the combo pho and chicken bahn mi sandwich. The meat is sliced thinly to perfection. This chef definitely knows what he/she is doing. The veggies are fresh. The broth is so flavorful. Our leftovers never go to waste at our house!! read more

Bun was good! Staff were really friendly! Only thing is when we dine in, I feel like eating in a classroom lol However, definitely a good place for Vietnamese food in the area. read more

Ordered pho to go with meatballs and it was so so so yummy! The staff were nice and we ordered ahead on the phone then paid in person.

I love their pho and spring rolls! Always friendly and nice staff. Food never takes long.

Picked up sandwiches for home. Met the Owner, very nice and personable while waiting for my order. I learned that he makes his own Bahn mi baguettes every morning at 4am. They are super crispy and light. We frequent this place every 2 weeks. Also had the fresh spring rolls...delicious. Eat and support local! read more

The food was great! I had the Pho beef combination- onolicious! Beef in every bite. It was a rainy day and it hit the spot. We also ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, the bread was a roll and super soft, made fresh daily and again plenty of beef and cheese. Give Van's a try and let's keep this place open pahoa. read more

You don't have to go all the way to Hilo for some great Vietnamese food anymore! Vans 2 has become a go to for me when I'm craving pho. The broth is nice, not overly sweet like some places make it. I have also tried some of the other dishes and they were tasty as well. The customer service is always good, no matter if I dined in or opted for take out. If you're in the Pahoa area definitely give Vans a try! read more

This 2nd Van's location is just as good as the one in Hilo. I actually liked the Banh Mi (sandwiches) from this one better. Hubby and I got Combo Pho, chicken pho, egg roll, summer spring rolls and Van Style banh mi. Pho broth was delicate but full of flavor. Portions were good- lots of meats and noodles. The summer rolls were full of noodles, shrimp, gai and a little bit of veggies (the way they're supposed to be). The egg rolls were made the traditional way with mushrooms, pork, carrots and noodles. They were crispy and not oily. The sandwich was packed with flavor- pickle veggies, light mayo, meats and the bread was soft but crispy. Definitely coming back. read more

Wow! This sandwich was amazing. I got the tofu sandwich cause I don't eat much meat and it was so delicious. My friend got the Chicken Sandwich and said it was good all the way to the last bite. I can not wait to go back and order more. The bread was perfect and the veggies were so crisp. We did a call in order and they had it ready so fast. They were helpful and friendly. It's a lovely little spot with easy parking and I look forward to trying the noodles next time. read more

Customer service was excellent and the food was delicious!!!! We keep coming back for more.

Nothing much to say. Average Pho shop. They also have specials and other Vietnamese rice/noodle plates. Good prices and decent flavor.

Wonderful food and great service. We stopped in for lunch and had pho, pork spring rolls and got pork banh to go for later in the day. All were good. The banh was exceptional with their fresh, house made bread. I would highly recommend you give it a try. Next time I'm in Hilo I'll definitely try that location. read more

Counter person greeted us with a welcoming smile when we arrived.All 3 varieties of bahn mi sandwiches we had were delicious read more

Nice and fast, I eat here a few times a month. A big fan of their Vans Special Bahn Mi

I come here literally all the time sometimes several times a week. I just love the food so much and the waitress is so beyond nice and she's amazing at her job. Best place for pho. I recommend the mi Bo sate. That's what I get every single time and every single time it satisfies my stomach(: read more

Ive gone here twice and got four different banh mis, thai ice tea and egg rolls. Everything is fire the best banh mi ive had on the big island. You can order ahead. I did a walk in and the wait wasnt bad at all. I want to try their pho one day and vermicelli bowls hoping it's as good as banh mi and egg rolls everything tastes very authentic and good in comparison to Vietnamese places Ive tried on mainland. The servers are kind and helpful read more

I talked with the waitress and she said they can do multiple meats now. So they can make a combination bowl.

One of my favorite spots to eat in Pahoa. Eat here every week. The pho is incredibly flavorful - rich broth, tender noodles, and super fresh toppings. The vermicelli bowls & fried rolls are my favorite! You can tell everything is made with care. Service is always super friendly, and the portions hit the spot. read more

I've ordered from here twice. When you don't feel good, there is nothing better than a bowl of pho. Both the flank and eye-round bowls of pho were fantastic. Meat portions are a bit small, but not unexpected on the islands. The spring rolls need some basil in them, but plenty came with the soup, so I was fully satisfied. I will definitely be a regular. read more

Delicious pho and grilled pork plate. Great service, clean and an inviting place. The food is soooooo good. So glad and relieved that we found such a great place. Can't wait to visit their Hilo location. read more

Pho rib eye was excellent. It has a beautiful broth that just seems to hit the right spots. It's not sweet as other places, which I really don't like. This broth is perfect. It came with a good amount of sprouts and basil along with a smile. read more

DISGUSTING DO NOT EAT HERE‼‼‼‼ I was feeling under the weather and decided to get a chicken pho soup from here bc of their reviews and there was a bug in my soup. My toddler and I were sharing it I was so furious when I saw it. When I called to let them know the girl said " it's not like we dropped it in there". I reported their business as well to the health department. read more

We decided to try Van Vietnamese on our way home from work and it did not disappoint!! All of our dishes were delicious with plenty of food. I tried the (non-pho) beef soup on the recommendation of the staff and it was crazy good. The rice bowls were also very good. We will be back. read more

Stopped in for a takeout order 10mins before they closed on a whim since a different business in pahoa had listed hours that said they would be open but when we got there they weren't. We felt bad for coming in so close to closing but the employee working the counter was very gracious and happily took our order. They provided great customer service and the food was delicious! Got a variety of things from them and everything was perfect. Found them by mishap of another restaurant but it was the best kind of accident. These guys are doing great things and will definitely be back whenever we're craving Vietnamese food in puna! read more
