Pho Que Huong

This restaurant is amazingly good for Vietnamese food in Honolulu! You must try this restaurant if you visit this island. The combo foods you want to order is: Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with catfish (canh chua với cá bông lau), braised catfish (cá bông lau kho tộ) in clay pot, and pork ribs in clay pot (sườn kho tộ). You must order these 3 dishes and you won't regret it. My family can't stop describing how good the foods are as they eat. It was me and my brother's second time but our parent's first time here. The foods above came with white rice so don't have to worry about ordering it unless you want extra.We did try Phở, Miến gà, and Bún Bò on the next day for breakfast, they were alright but nowhere to compared to the 3 dishes above.Overall, you must try this restaurant and the foods I mentioned above if you come to this restaurant! You can go back and thank me later.

Pho Que Huong did not disappoint. The vibe is classic Chinatown, with no-frills décor and restaurant is spacious. We did a take out order so can't comment on the dining service but they were very friendly and efficient which made picking up a breeze. As for the pho, I went with the traditional beef pho dac biet (A): The broth had that deep, rich flavor you crave and expect of an authentic pho broth. It also came with generous portions of sliced beef, brisket, meatballs, and tripe. Can't complain about that! The fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime added that depth of flavor, and I couldn't get enough of the broth with every slurp. Definitely a great place if you're in the mood for some authentic, no-nonsense pho in Chinatown! Would come back anytime for a quick fix for my pho cravings.

Clean with an extensive menu. Just got done with a procedure at Kuikani so can't be too adventurous with what I order, but planning to come back for the goat hotpot. Service was simple and to the point, like most Chinatown joints. The combo and oxtail phos had good flavor, just the oxtail could've used some more time. It was a bit tough.

Phenomenal bun bo hue with all the proper fixings, pork blood & pig foot included. The service was fast, the menu huge, the bahn mi and spring rolls crispy and satisfying. Love the generous portions of fresh veggies which feel so wholesome. The calamansi sugarcane juice was delicious too. Second visit we tried a whole bunch other things and everything was amazing. Particularly loved the bánh xèo, rare beef salad, and clay pot catfish. Their menu is huge and there's still so much to try!

Thanks to my lunch buddy for reminding of this place. Pho Que Huong has been my to go place for Vietnamese food.Their pho is always good, but you have to try their Vietnamese crepe that's loaded with shrimp, pork belly and mung bean. Their spicy beef noodle soup is also good and has the right vegetable toppings. I usually get this with pho noddles. Service is ok as well as the ambiance. It was busy here on my last lunch visit.

So many people recommended this restaurant when I was craving Vietnamese food when I was visiting Hawaii. Luckily, this is one of the spot my family chose to eat one day!It's located next to Lam's Kitchen on Maunakea St in Chinatown. There's paid street parking (free after 6pm) around the area which would be very difficult to find during morning, lunch, and dinner hours. You may have to park a couple blocks down to find a spot. I actually love the variety of noodle soup choices this restaurant offered because I don't really see much places around Hawaii as I was growing up. But I've noticed a lot of restaurants now offer these now which is amazing! I asked the server if he personally liked the Bun Bo Hue or Bun Rieu, and he said the former. I got their BBH and honestly really liked it! The broth wasn't as deep of a flavor but still a very nice spicy-ish pork broth that was very good. I never got tired of the broth as I continued eating it throughout my meal. There was also a TON of protein which was a huge plus. This was my mom's very first time trying BBH, and she really enjoyed it. I also got a Vietnamese coffee which was a really good pick me up the following day. I tried my cousin's combination pho and thought the pho broth was quite salty. It wasn't as hearty compared to the BBH. I didn't care for it - which means that I can try the other noodle soups next time instead of sticking to pho!My family also ordered their Green Papaya Salad with Shrimp and Pork, Chicken Feet Salad, Pork Banh Mi, Haianese Chicken, and Grilled Pork Patty Rolls (nem nuong). The papaya salad and chicken feet salad were sooooo good. Sooo much flavor and super refreshing. The chicken feet were especially good with the fish sauce. I personally prefer the cold chicken feet over the red chicken feet at dim sum places in Chinese cuisine. I don't generally see Vietnamese places with this so this was a pleasant surprise. The grilled pork roll was really good (something you can't find anywhere else). Honestly, really good restaurant with a lot of Vietnamese varieties that you can find in OC and don't ever see in Hawaii Vietnamese restaurants. The Haianese chicken was one of the popular dishes here. It was good, but it didn't really impress me as much as the other dishes. I'm kind of bias as I preferred the Singaporean way of how it's made. The banh mi was HUGE and looked stacked with fillings. I didn't get to try it as I had a ton of food. Overall, lots of different food options which were all delicious. I can see why this was highly recommended! Definitely would come back here in the future for more of their other dishes!

This place gets busy! We thought we'd show up a little earlier than the lunch rush, 11:30am, but that is the lunch rush! Took us about 10 minutes to get a table, which is not bad considering there were 4 of us. Our order was taken quickly since we used our wait time to peruse the menu and select what we were eating.We ended up ordering the pan fried pho with beef, pan fried pho with seafood, Bún Chả Giò Thịt/Gà Nướng (vermicelli w/pork and spring roll), and a vegan fried vermicelli with tofu. TASTY!! Food had great flavor and was just the right spice for my coworkers. Obviously I needed to add a lot more chili but itsnot perfect unless it's burning your insides!Servings were large and we all had leftovers. Our service was okay, we only had to ask for water refills once. There is a dessert menu but we didn't have enough time or space to do dessert. Definitely next time!If you like Vietnamese food, you'll enjoy Pho Que Huong!

I LOVE THIS PLACE... I eat here a few times a month - well of course I do because I love their food and drinks!! I don't know Vietnamese food in Hawaii always seems so fresh! Here is definitely fresh and yummy!! They have such a wide variety of items to eat. I have been trying to eat different things when I come here ok everybody loves Pho - there is always a table with people enjoying Pho. I will admit I do eat raw beef salad once a month! It is a must try!! Their chicken wings are always tasty, their vermicelli bowls are filled with fresh veggies, noodles and protein of your choice. I tried 2 beef and chicken sooooo good! Their Bahn Mi sandwiches is good for a quick eat! I can't comment on parking because I walk here. The restaurant is always clean! Oh even the restroom! The service is excellent! They always friendly and it's not cause I am a regular they just genuinely nice I will warn you their food is so good - they are always busy around lunch time from 11-2 M-F not sure about weekend or evening I am telling you this is a bucket list restaurant in downtown Honolulu! My fat cells are always dancing when I eat here and when I take home my leftovers!! Check-it out for yourself! Enjoy!!

Our office ordered a group order as two people in my office said this place was the best. With all the rain this week, I was definitely craving some soup and was looking forward to this. I was impressed by the amount they gave, which made the price worth it. Lots of thai basil, culantro, and bean sprouts. I liked the amount of meat they gave. Lots of tripe, tendon, and meat. It was enough for 2 meals! The broth had a good flavor and the noodles were cooked well. I will definitely be back again next time i'm craving pho!

I ordered the Pho Tai Nam and enjoyed it. The broth was very flavorful, the meat was good quality and probably the most amount of meat I've ever had in a bowl of pho at a restaurant. The serving size was plenty for a full meal.The service was very quick and friendly. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and has plenty of indoor seating. I came on a weeknight after 7pm, so street parking was free and easy to find.
