I had an excellent meal here! The star was the steak pho—the broth was incredibly flavorful and rich. I also tried the vermicelli bowl, which was fresh and tasty. Don’t miss their Vietnamese coffee; it’s strong, sweet, and the perfect finish to the meal. The portions are good size, making it a fantastic value. I would definitely recommend this spot and will be back soon!

I absolutely love Viet Chubby Boy! From the moment I walked in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff set the tone for an exceptional dining experience.
The menu offers an inspired fusion of flavors, and every dish I tried now that this is was my theirs visit, was outstanding. Their pho ga was rich, savory, and perfectly balanced deep, fragrant broth with tender meat, fresh herbs, and noodles cooked just right. Their lemongrass banh mi was crisp, flavorful, and loaded with fresh ingredients. I also sampled their Vietnamese coffee — bold, smooth, and a delightful finish to the meal.
What really stands out is their genuine attention to detail. Portions are generous, ingredients feel fresh, and presentation is thoughtful. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, always ready with recommendations or to customize a dish. And, the owner actually comes around and chats with the his clients and checks on us.
If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Honolulu served with heart, Viet Chubby Boy is a must-visit. I’ll be returning again and again — highly recommended!

My first time trying this Vietnamese restaurant. I went during off hours, so plenty of parking and I was the only customer.
The menu is extensive typical of a Vietnamese restaurant, but I am here to try the Pho. The broth is very light, but beefy. Not too sweet. But its missing the essence of the spices, like the cinnamon, star anise, cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom and fennel. Also the smokiness of the onions and ginger. I just prefer my pho broth to be heavier on the spices. But I still enjoyed it. The rice noodles was perfect, and the meat toppings is a little on the stingy side. Also only one size bowl.
I also tried the Summer Rolls with BBQ Pork. It was just average to me. Service was good, attentive and refilled my water when needed. Came to check on me a couple of time. My Mom called me while eating and I ended up ordering the Chicken Pho for take out for my Mom.
They did get busier after I sat down with mostly take out orders.
I will definitely come back again. I like the convenience of satisfying my Pho cravings and I don’t have to drive to downtown/Chinatown.

This place serves the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had—hands down. The flavors are rich, authentic, lively, explosively mind blowing, and deeply rooted in old-country tradition. It has that genuine, home-cooked feel, like something straight out of Vietnam, not a watered-down version for tourists. The atmosphere is no-frills, giving off true hole-in-the-wall vibes, which only adds to the experience. If you’re looking for real Vietnamese food with deep, traditional flavors, this spot is a must-visit.

I have been wanting to come here ever since I first laid eyes upon the Viet Chubby Boy. The visage of the chubby boy called me.
Finally walking into the restaurant, it actually appears like less of a hole-in-the-wall on the interior than on its exterior.
I ordered the Beef Noodle Soup and the Vietnamese Coffee. I thought that the soup had a sufficient amount of meat in it and wouldn’t have even been skeptical of the amount of other reviews had not mentioned that the meat servings tend to be sparse here. The soup came with a good amount of leaves and bean sprouts to add to it, and it could feed two people. The Vietnamese coffee was a pleasant surprise as well, turning out to be a sort of coffee slushee.
Price-wise, I wouldn’t call this place cheap, but it’s also not expensive.
Overall, I am pleased with the Viet Chubby Boy!

This is the mom and pop shop you want to support. The lady cooks diligently in the kitchen, churning out home-cooked dishes, and the man literally runs the front of house, never stopping between tables and to-go orders. The food was soooo delicious! We had banh mi, pho, mapo tofu, and Thai tea, and everything was on point. The broth base the cook creates for their pho and dipping sauces is beautifully balanced. The tea is wonderfully strong. I wish we were locals so we could come try more of their food!!

If you’re searching for an authentic Vietnamese hidden gem in Kalihi, Viet Chubby Boy is the spot! I’ve been on the hunt for a solid hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese eatery, and I finally found one. I loved it so much that I came two days in a row!
On my first visit, I tried the Lemongrass Banh Mi—crispy, fresh bread packed with perfectly marinated meat and bold flavors. The next day, I went for the Bun Cha Grilled Pork and Summer Rolls, and both were absolutely delicious.
If you’re craving legit Vietnamese flavors, make sure to check this place out. You won’t be disappointed!

The portions were good, the price a little high ($15 for 7 pieces of fried wings) but the food is good. We had the combo pho the broth was clean, light, and tasty. The fried chicken with house spicy sauce was flavorful and crispy. We also ordered the shrimp summer roll which was lightly wrapped so it almost fell apart while eating and the dipping sauce had chunks of peanuts in it.
The service was great with a friendly attitude. It’s a small space so they are able to frequently check on their patrons and refill water in a timely manner.
The atmosphere was simple. Not a big place for crowds, mellow music was playing at a comfortable level that talking at you table was manageable and you didn’t overhear neighbors or have to shout to talk to each other.
Overall, this was our first time and it wasn’t disappointing. If the opportunity comes, we would eat here again.

This place is good all around. My only gripe is as other reviewers have said: They’re pretty skimpy on the meat for the price! I ordered the pho combo meat along with the summer shrimp rolls. While the beef balls were two pieces cut in half but decently-sized, the brisket and raw meat pieces were barely two slices each. As far as the tripe, it was barely a spoonful. With the $3 charge for extra noodles that made my price about $21 for just the pho, the restaurant can do better in the meat area.
However, the drip coffee was excellent. Just don’t come by later and tell me to pour it into the cup of ice I asked for like you did next time. Clearly, since I ordered this drink that’s not even on the menu, I’ve eaten Vietnamese food and drunk this drink before and know what I want and how/when to do it.
The chili paste I also asked for that you had and didn’t automatically bring out with the hosin and Sriracha sauces were also excellent.
All in all, I would come and eat here again.

I only come here for the Pho. The broth is not salty but savory. That’s good because other Pho restaurants have you drinking 5 cups of water afterwards. portion size is mid with a few slices of meat and couple meatballs. The portion size will not satisfy a normal adult. I can’t say that it’s worth it to drop $18 and not be full. It is enough to satisfy the taste buds though.
