Tanya: The rare steak pho was alright. You weren't given much for the price of it, although the green onions added a nice touch to the broth. The restaurant itself was a cool place! There was a bar and a place where you could order milk teas, boba and such.. Isaac: The rare steak was average, and the price did not match the amount of food. But the service was decently quick and the staff was eager to answer question and fulfill requests.

Went for lunch here with the bestie today for the first time and it was delish! We had the steak pho and chicken sandwich. Friendly and attentive service, loved the ambiance--large open restaurant, and they spaced us out so we weren't all crowded together with the other customers. The soup broth was amazing and there were so many veggies. The sandwich was just as good as the pho, the bread soft and crispy and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. There wasn't enough time to talk because we were enjoying the food so much!

Loved this place! The tofu bahn mi was super flavorful and the bread was soft. I hate when the bread is way too hard so I was very happy about this. The service was also great, and very informative about the different items on the menu. I was surprised to see they have hojicha milk tea, since I have never seen it before. It was very good and I would recommend that as well.

Now, the 5th star is purely for the service. The people are always kind and patient with children. It says a ton about the service when the waitress walks to Safeway to get a candle for a little girls birthday. That was the young woman who works here for my niece on her birthday. The food is consistent-and portions are generous. what is pictured on the menu is not always what it looks like when it comes out, but we have never left hungry. There is a very peaceful music playing for a calm atmosphere. There are TVs showing various channels and a full bar, so I imagine it can get very fun up in this place. But I have rarely been here when there's a crowd...it's a little unfortunate for a small business with such kind people. We love it for an easy place after a long day in Manoa, or a sisters' lunch.

Excellent place for 2. I love their beef stew with bread. Quiet atmosphere. The mix drinks are watered down unless you tell them to please make it strong a couple of times. Other than that, this is a great place to eat!

Since there was a change of owner I feel like this establishment has gone down hill. The previous owners actually ran the restaurant themselves and their customer service was excellent. I don't think the workers now know how to smile or greet customers. I was standing at the counter to make a take out order and the young man came to the counter 5 times and did not acknowledge me. I finally had to ask if I could make a take out order. The food is not as tasty as it was before. The last time we went in the summer roll was falling apart. The pho was really bland. And they gave us a free tapioca which was old. It was so sour! Tonight I only ordered porridge that took 1/2 hour to make and $20 for a bowl of porridge is pricey. All I can say is the service and the food went down. The only thing that went up was the price.

Off the beaten path of Waikiki we found a great place that serves traditional Vietnamese food in a nice environment. Service and food was very good.

Used to be my go to spot for Pho. But I think they recently changed owners not sure but price went up, portion size for the pho has got smaller and the flavor seems different. Nice and roomy still and can enjoy a conversation without yelling over music or TV. Service was kind of slow to refill drinks. But nice .

Food spectacular Bar spectacular We had spring rolls super great service & chill place looks like weekends are hopping bar scene!
This is by far my favorite spot for pho in hawaii. Super friendly staff and really good quality food. Located in manoa which is super convenient. This is our 2-go for vietnamese food.

I've always enjoyed this restaurant since they were in Aiea. The new owners have changed the menu, and so far, I still like the food.

Had the house special. It was FABULOUS! And way more than I could eat in one sitting. I highly recommend.Also, the servers were friendly, gracious, and attentive. The chef thanked us profusely for our patronage. I will definitely be returning to this wonderful neighborhood restaurant.

I ordered takeout of two dishes and the subtotal with tax was $31.31. Paid with Visa and added $2 tip. Only noticed on my receipt later when reconciling the statement that they added a "credit card surcharge" of $1, which is 3% "to cover the cost of accepting credit cards." It's possible I might not have seen a sign that should be prominently posted at the cash register, but I won't know because I'm not going back there. Food was okay but I made clear that it was my first time there, so feel they should have told me their policy.

Awesome Vietnamese restaurant with a huge menu. Highly recommend it if you’re in the area and looking for a great Vietnamese restaurant. They were able to accommodate nine of us with no problem. We all loved it.
