Fast, tasty, friendly, good generous portions, variety and combo options, fresh and hot or cold depending on what you order. Packaged well to go items. Cool comfortable clean dine in options with large ceiling to floor windows for light and view of the breezes through occasional palms in adjoining parking lot.

Small quaint but EXCELLENT variety of dishes. My favorite is the Green Papaya Salad with spicy chicken. However, on this winter rainy day decided on Pho with tendons and tripe. Including the Summer Rolls. Very tasty broth with huge portion more than enough and take home.

This place has the best lemongrass tofu ever. If you love vegetarian Bahn Mi definitely come here. I’ve added the post inflation menu for current pricing. Still worth it. They’re only offering take out as well.

The food here is amazing. Definitely will come back again.
So I am not Vietnamese however I am a lover and very passionate about pho, banh mi, and other Vietnamese foods. I've even traveled to Vietnam twice just for the food. So out of all the pho restaurants I went to in Hawaii this is probably one of the worst. $15 a bowl for a pretty good size bowl full of noodles and meat but honestly the broth just tastes like salt water. And it was salty indeed. I don't understand why they would make the soup this salty.I ordered the special combo and my coworker ordered the pho with brisket. Both of us thought it was waaaaay too salty. In fact they had to go take medication to reduce the sodium in their system because of it. And they felt light-headed afterwards. For those of you that are Vietnamese or have been to Vietnam and you're saying this is authentic then I'd be curious to try to places that you prefer in Vietnam.Honestly because the soup was so salty I honestly don't know how the meat or the noodles, or anything else tasted sorry.The people were very nice though. But the restaurant looked kind of dirty especially behind the counter.

Authentic Vietnamese is the best when I am missing home. The food was flavorful and garnished traditional Vietnamese style. My wife had the garlic shrimp and squid combo and she loved it. I ordered a pho dac biet and left quite full.The Anh working the counter was fun to talk to and surprised us with a fresh fruit desert.

Outstanding hole in the wall Vietnamese. BBQ pork and egg roll bun was perfect, and the steam pork banh mi was fresh, crispy, and delicious. Don't forget the iced coffee.

It's a small restaurant in the Enchanted Lake Centre Strip Mall so there is plenty of free parking. The atmosphere is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall feel but the owner is very friendly and portions are reasonable for the price. We were happy with our phos and the menu on the wall has photos to show you what the dishes look like. My pet peeve was the washroom location: it was behind the Starbucks shop which is a considerable hike from the restaurant and the washroom was not clean and had no soap for handwashing. Seating is limited so try to come and dine in before mealtimes but they do good business with take-outs. Definitely has regulars coming to eat here.
