Cuu Long was opened in 1996 and is mostly considered the first Vietnamese Restaurant in Aiea. Over the years, locals have raved about and fell in love with Cuu Long’s Pho. On the weekends or rainy days, it is typical to see a line of people waiting outside of the restaurant. The secret to Cuu Long’s pho is that it is healthier and lighter than the traditional pho broth that is normally loaded with heaps of msg. To cut the msg count, chef cooks the broth fresh daily and uses fresh pineapples to cut on sugar too. After the broth is finished, the chef strains the broth and removes the fat oil droplets to ensure a delicious, light, and flavorful broth.

If you like soups, the pho noodles are the way to go. They give a good amount of basil to enjoy with it. Tried the combo special with assorted types of thinly-sliced meat, after putting them at the bottom, it cooked nicely. I liked the different shapes and generous meat in it.
If you need more flavor, there’s choices in the condiment area like salt and pepper, a sweet brown sauce (feels like hoisin), sriracha that’s not too strong, chili oil, and a slightly sour-spicy red sauce. I enjoyed the sweetness in the brown sauce and the mild sour-spicy sauce. Just add a little first and test to your liking, it can be strong if you’re not used to spicy food with a kick. What worked for me was to add a little sauce on the side and not mixing with the entire soup base. A little on the soup spoon per slurp is okay.
The spring roll in the other dish was fried just right and goes well with the chicken and vinegar blend.
Their good selection of dishes are worth exploring and keep coming for.
The food is top notch, the broth is full flavor, generous meat portion. The spring rolls are homemade, made daily, not frozen. The veggies and herbs are crisp and fresh.
Summer rolls, i think this is the only place I know that puts shrimp, meat and vegetables inside of the roll. Most skimp out and just put the shrimp.
The brother is tasty and not fatty.
Vietnam Pho cost $1-$4 on average.
They are a rip off!!! And it is not even that good.
Folks……Pho is not supposed to cost so much damn money. It is ridiculous! Next year it will be $20 for a bowl of soup! SOUP!!!
I also ordered the #28 which is the BBQ Pork Loin.
First of all, it was not BBQ at all. It was pan seared. The pork tasted old and sour (before adding the sour sauce). The noodles were overcooked. The sauce was weak, and I had to ask for more sauce just to make this dish decent.
All I can say is……find a new place to eat Pho, this place has gone down DOWN!
The tap water was good tho. Seriously, it tasted very clean and delicious.
