High quality Pho broth, and original bone marrow pho creation. New extension of Cuu Long 2, which is best pho in Hawaii. Menu includes other delectable options, like shaking beef rice, Vietnamese pork chop, Hoi An chicken rice, and traditional vermicelli and banh mi sandwiches. The only Vietnamese restaurant with full bar and Vietnamese inspired cocktails. An experience like no where.

It is the most authentic and best Vietnamese food in Hawaii, especially true to the flavors of Northern Vietnam. Everything is delicious. The Bun Bo Hue is a bit spicy, but the other noodle dishes have a rich, well balanced flavor and are excellent. If you add the black sauce, the taste shifts to a Southern Vietnamese style, which I also highly recommend.
A perfect five star experience with no complaints.

On Valentine’s Day, my husband and I were looking for the best place to have a delicious dinner. We tried Istanbul, but the line was too long. Merriman’s was also packed. So, we decided to walk around the building by the movie theater. As we reached the front, before the movie entrance, we spotted an amazing place. It wasn’t crowded, and the atmosphere looked very calm, with raw cement, wood, and a beautiful bar area.
Peeking at the food through the window, we were surprised by how delicious it looked and how reasonable the prices were for such a nice place in the Ward area. We took a chance and went inside, and let me tell you, it was some of the best pho we’ve had in a while! My husband ordered the Beef Marrow, and I got the chicken pho mini because I wasn’t very hungry. Surprisingly, even the mini size was quite generous. We also ordered the wagyu and spring rolls, which were perfectly presented—already cut and served with mint leaves, which we usually have to tear ourselves at other restaurants.
This place is so nice; it reminds us of a Mediterranean-style interior—simple yet classy—with a relaxing music selection. We were very surprised that it wasn’t more crowded; you’d expect a line of people waiting outside! It’s definitely one of our favorite spots now, and we will be back again! Thanks to the really cool crew: Julia, Jacob, the mom & pops, and everyone working in the back! It’s a must-try!

I found this restaurant by chance. I was taking my son to a tuxedo fitting at Men’s Warehouse right next door when I noticed this gem. The food here has great flavor and definitely does not feel like something that was rushed, but actually made with care for the presentation and flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed and clean. We ordered the regular pho, Bun Bo Hue, and steamed lemongrass clams (thai chili). Again, great flavor, fresh garnished and would definitely recommend for anyone in the mood for some great Vietnamese cuisine!

We tried its summer rolls (tasteless, one of the worst even for Honolulu, I’m not even talking about Little Saigon of Westminster, definitely should avoid this item here) and the in-bone rib pho with briskets, which was about average in taste and texture, though the rib itself was fine. With hundreds of pho shops on the island, you could do better, except this one is located in the Ward Village. The service was friendly but not very efficient, probably it was due to staff’s resting time coming up at 3 p.m. We weren’t provided utensils or napkins. Eventually we got chopsticks, but I had to take the spoons and napkins from an empty table.

Grew up eating Vietnamese everyday as a first generation Vietnamese and loved these dishes. Authentic and fresh, great portions. I loved the banana goi and the hoi an chicken. Very aromatic and fresh. My husband loved his shaking beef – very tender cuts.

Ăn Đi Dzo in Ward Village is a must-visit!
This Vietnamese restaurant is serving up fresh and flavorful grinds right in the heart of Kakaʻako!
This review is based on our first visit a few weeks ago. We came for an early dinner before walking over to the Maoli concert at the Blaisdale.
We especially loved the summer rolls with peanut sauce. They were light, refreshing, and packed with herbs and perfectly cooked shrimp.
Thai iced tea is a must for me, always!
I also had the beef pho which delicious!
We felt the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.
The staff was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe made for a delightful dining experience.
If you’re in the area and craving something tasty and comforting, definitely stop by Ăn Đi Dzo!
We will be back for sure!
*Note- they have a washing station in the restaurant to wash your hands, but the bathroom is outside near the parking structure- no code needed to access.

It’s just alright. The soup and meat were not fresh as we expected. The waiter missed our order of adding the bone on the soup. Then they charged it price as side dish ($12 vs $7.7).

There are some dishes are quite special such as crepes. The fried chicken wings taste really good. The portion of everything is big. But the seasoning of vermicelli is not enough, which supposed to have some kind of sweet and sour sauce but it’s not, quite pitiful. Service short hands sometimes, i think not because of the attitude but more hands needed during peak hours. Overall, worthy trying!

The place is spacious and clean. Service was fast. I am severely disappointed of the portions so do not come to this place . Spring roll entry usually is 3 to 4 entire fried rolls in other Vietnamese places,here we just got 2 rolls cut in a half. I ordered a pho, veggies on the side where extremely frugal 4 basile leaves and 1/8 of a lemon 2 slices of habanero.
About my pho, broth was not right plain but also tangy like somewhat fermented. The pho has 3 options of meat , I ordered flank, tripe and tendon and I literally just got 1 piece of each on a whole bowl. I’m not coming back. Don’t recomend at all.
They just gave us 1 napkin for the whole table. I think they cutting expenses way too much. They rather charge more and make bigger portions than this.

Incredible, criminally underrated vietnamese food in Ward Village in a modern atmosphere with a full bar and drink menu. Their beef rib pho is probably my favorite pho in the state — very flavorful broth and the meat quality is very good. I’ve had several of their dishes and haven’t been disappointed. Such a welcome restaurant to the neighborhood.
