Very kind and welcoming staff at this pho restaurant. The decor is bright and uplifting with murals on the walls. I liked the pho and oxtail soup. There’s a huge menu variety so there’s something for everyone. They also have choices of tea and drinks from Teapresso. I had to have the Vietnamese coffee and it was amazing! There’s also a special if you spend over $50 you get a dessert. Free dessert is never bad! We walked over from Ala Moana shopping center but I’m pretty sure there’s parking in the building.

I ordered the Lemongrass Bánh Mì, and it was a genuinely good sandwich. It’s not the best I’ve ever had, but I was definitely satisfied with it. One thing I really appreciated about this place is that it’s run by actual Vietnamese owners. They were kind, welcoming, and the whole restaurant felt clean and well-kept.
The service stood out in a great way. I didn’t have to wait long for my food, and our waiter struck the perfect balance—engaged without being intrusive. He didn’t hover or ask the same “How’s everything tasting” three times like some places do. He let us enjoy our meal while still making sure my drink stayed full.
Next time I visit, I’m planning to try the bánh xèo.
Something that often gets overlooked: the seating. The chairs were surprisingly comfortable, and the restaurant is spacious, so finding a place to sit isn’t an issue at all.
Bonus they gave us a free desert!
If you’re in the neighborhood, definitely stop by. They’re worth the visit.

*UPDATE: Please come and support. One visit is all it takes. The Family here takes such good care of us as customers, and even feeds the Cats strays that visits. The restaurant here is always Empty of customers, which is painful and distressing. Their genuine food and hospitality is entirely meant for us, so please and thank you!* What an Superb restaurant, and dining experience!! Apart from the exuberant ambience, let’s talk about the Food! ️ Wonderful selection that is served really quick, and amazingly super fresh. The vegetables included with the spring rolls, are almost better than the fried goodness itself! Now the soup broth ?, you’ve got to try it out! And not too far even from Ala Moana mall, which is a very nice walking path away. See you All here!!! (They even gave me free tiramisu dessert!)

Banh Mi was AMAZING! I devoured the BBQ Beef & Lemongrass Chicken in one breath. My gf was able to choose from the vegetarian options which was nice as well. The Chantilly Cake and Fried Banana Ice Cream was delicious as well! Owner was nice enough to compliment us with a frappe and we chose the Oreo Cookie Crumble which was the cherry on top! Definitely coming back again…tomorrow!

Best pho I’ve ever had. Truly. The flavors are unparalleled with the freshest, quality ingredients. Their family grows much of the produce themselves on island. True farm to table.
Amazing selection of quality teas as well as a huge selection of boba teas.
The staff are all so genuine and welcoming people as well, really great atmosphere.

The restaurant is really nice!! We got the 2 piece combo pho and bun rieu and rare beef salad. I kind of wish the meat came a little more rare and the bun rieu had a stronger tomato flavor though, and there was stronger AC. But other than that the meal was really good and it’s a nice interior. He even gave us a free boba (teapresso)! I would definitely come back and/or recommend it.

Our experience here was incredible! My husband had the rare beef pho and I had the shrimp with spring roll and vermicelli. The food was all delicious. The pho was just as good, if not better than, my favorite pho place back home. Service was quick and friendly. On our way out, we noticed they have a Kangen water machine. We’ve had a smaller Kangen water machine for 14 years now and love the benefits of this ionized, alkaline water. We were very impressed to see that they serve it here! Got to meet the owner who was very friendly also.

Delicious pho with fresh ingredients and rich, authentic flavors! The portions are generous, and the service is friendly. Parking is easy in the Ala Moana Mall right next to the Restaurant. A must-visit spot for Vietnamese cuisine in Honolulu.

I got special combination rice plate. The grilled pork chop was perfectly cooked-juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Paired with rice, a fried egg, fresh cucumbers, and pickled vegetables, it made for a delicious and balanced meal.
Clean place, great service, not too crowded so food comes out pretty fast. Highly recommend!!!

Had the Lemongrass Tofu. The tofu is flavorful, the noodles are the perfect texture, the veggies are fresh. The sauce with the lemongrass tofu isn’t to my taste, but that’s just preference. The Tofu summer Rolls are the perfect texture, this peanut sauce is perfectly to my taste. Would recommend.
