Pho Saigon

I've recently had lunch here twice now, got the same thing both times, pho with beef and tendon and both times it was delicious. The second time I brought to of my colleagues with me and they enjoyed it too. Parking isn't an issue even though they are sharing the lot with a bank and another restaurant, there are reserved stalls right in front for the restaurant and if those are all taken, there are other non-reserved stalls for you to choose from. Finding a parking a stall has never been an issue for me.Once you walk in, you are greeted by the friendly professional staff and are seated promptly. Sat down and once you are ready the staff is ready to take your order.Like I said I ordered a pho with rare beef and tendon, on my first visit, it was the first time I tried tendon and it was awesome. So awesome I came back a second time and ordered it again. You get the usual veggies (jalapeños, sprouts, basil and lemon) the tendon is nice chunks that hold up well in the hot broth. Other places I've been, instead of chunks of tendon it was sliced which broke down a lot faster in the hot broth. Here at Pho Saigon, they are doing it good. The chunks are simmered long enough to make it nice and soft, not overly chewy but just chewy enough to make it enjoyable. I told the staff member that I enjoyed the tendon and he was telling me that when they first put tendon on the menu, they made it like it would be made back home, which is tougher, they wouldn't simmer it as long as they are doing it now and this was an adjustment they made for the customers. I like when restaurants take the time to listen to their customers and make changes when they think it would be best and in this case, I think it was a good change. Sometimes, restaurants make a knee jerk reaction to a "bad" review and it ruins the dish or worse, ruins the place. Convenient location, friendly professional staff and delicious food, this place will be a return visit for sure.

Wow where do I start. Sorry to be brutally honest but let's start with your way over priced won ton mien. Won tons are small and lack flavor. Needed chile paste get git this down. The chashu was extremely fatty and you must of bought the poorest cut of meat. The soup broth was oily water but I see you added lots of green onions to mask the taste. The pho was the same, over priced and not worth the money. Sorry people please avoid and save your hard earned money on another establishment!!! Also they are so cheap they will charge you for your takeout boxes for the over priced food you paid for!!

OVERPRICED!! BAD SERVICE!! We had to wait over 10 minutes to ask them for the check! Our cups were empty, NO REFILLS! Nobody ever came by to ask if we needed anything! & that ain't even the worst part of it! They gave us CHOPSTICKS WITH MOLD ON THEM!! MOLD!!!& when we were leaving the guy had the nerve to ask why we didn't leave them a tip! YOU GUYS DONT DESERVE A TIP! Worst experience ever! I'm never going back there!

Most refreshing meal I've had in Hawaii in a while (besides poke)!! The broth was so flavorful and comforting! Comfortably air conditioned with a cozy atmosphere. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful! So happy we came here!

My family wanted Pho when visiting so we took a detour at Pho Saigon to see how comparable it is to our local favorites! It is fairly limited in terms of protein selection, as I enjoy my pho with a variety of beef cuts. You pick up to 3 choices and then you would have to add on any additional meats. Surprisingly, their broth is delicious and so I thought that was the only thing that made their pho slightly better than the other location we tried. Their side order prices are quite expensive and to add on a protein is already half as much as the bowl! Also, additional garnish such as white onions are extra too. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was darkish brown in color which scared me a bit! It wasn't that strong at all, but you don't get the creaminess of the condensed milk. Seeing the differences and deciding what is more worth, I can agree their pho is not worth going for again. The staff were really kind and provided us with what they could when we requested though!

Being Vietnamese and living in the Bay Area, I've had amazing pho. I wanted to try pho in Hawaii, and some people have recommended this place on Reddit. Honestly, their pho would be mediocre if it was in the Bay Area. However, it gets the job done if you're hungover. This is probably considered good pho in Hawaii since there's not a big Vietnamese community. Service is just whatever like at most Vietnamese restaurants.

We were craving Vietnamese food and stopped by Saigon phoAmy provided great customer service and recommendations. The food was greatWe got the following Crab meat soupHouse special banmiTendon & rare steak combo

Pho is tasty, but everything here is expensive. The restaurant is dirty, and it's irritating how they charge for packaging take-out and not tell you. You find out when you pick up and look at the receipt attached. Waiter who gives you your take out order expects a tip, too. Ridiculous!

Best pho place ever!!!! My go to spot in Kaimukī! If I can't do dine in I'll do take out and their water tastes good too! lol

Came for lunch the other day and the service was good. I ordered a lemon beef salad. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions of meat! It had a lot of onions, but it was pickled so it tasted good. I will come back for the salad.
