Pho To-Chau Vietnamese Restaurant

Pretty decent pho. Very mom and pop local shop, dated interior, friendly older Asian lady. I love how the herbs are so plentiful and so fresh! The portions are great too. I'm not very impressed with the soup - it could use a little more depth. The older Asian lady was very kind. I left my purse on my chair right by the door and she moved it for me because of high risk of a grab and run. Good looking out! It's not a bad idea to be cautious in Chinatown especially on that street by the canal...Good spot to have some pho if you're in Chinatown!

This place is truly a hole in the wall run by 3 sisters. The place is small, a little hot, and not the cleanest. However the food is why this place is 5 stars. I've tried 6 different pho places around Oahu and this place is by far the most delicious. The soup was flavorful, huge veggie portions, and it didn't feel so salty and full of msg. The broth was nice and hot with a lot of flavor. The ladies who brought our food were sweet and quick with bringing out food. Yes, their English is broken and may sound harsh, but they were sweet and lovely people. Will definitely be returning and bringing the family when they visit! KEEP IN MIND: CASH ONLY

Hands down the best pho in Honolulu!!! Bring ziplock to take home abundant veggie green condiments she gives...

Good pho. Lots of veggies. Meat was good. They close 230 pm. Good service too. Would come again

8|10 Hugh portion & delicious summer rolls.10|10 Grandma comes taught me how to eat deep fried spring rolls how nice!!! The OG style pho Vietnamese in Chinatown & a local favorite. Love the vibes.

I came to this establishment 3 times in my life. This was my third try. The first time it was years and years ago when the lines were so long. I don't think it's the same owner but I could be mistaken. The second time was a bit near Covid time. The place was dirty and grungy and there was a bad smell inside which made me not want to eat. This time I gave it a third time so that I know if I want to return or not. I'm glad I did. Restaurants always change if there is an inconsistency more than once. I'm still not sure if it is the original owner for the flavor seems a bit changed. The food came out quickly and it was hot. The house chili sauce came with the pho. The summer rolls were decent but I have had better ones elsewhere to be honest. I wanted to try the crispy spring rolls but it was a bit pricey for all of that. It's ok, I'll go back. The service was fast. You sit where you want then the menu is on the table. You can choose what size pho you want. Medium was a lot for me so next time I can go with small. It had a lot of vegetables on the side and I always ask for my sliced onions. The ambiance is a little dark and a little grungy but this time the tables were clean and so was the restaurant. Do mind that it's cash only. I saw that sign and just paid cash. Maybe next time I can ask them for card, but I'm sure it's still cash only. Smart business. lol

Delicious and not like any other pho restaurants I've been to. In the heart of Chinatown I heard this place is ran by 2 sisters. The special dac biet pho was not on the menu but that's what I ordered. It was huge generous portions and I'm not sure how much it cost but I'm assuming no more than $18/bowl. Believe the reviews; they give out a whole platter of a huge portion of vegetables! They are not greedy! A whole platter of bean sprouts, a whole platter of vinegar onions (which I saw a lot of places charged for which I think is weird since I normally order it for free), lots of lemons, huge platter of basil and my favorite culantro! I love this place! I asked for chili oil and they brought out a small bowl of it. The nuoc bro was only oil but the green onion stems were already put inside the bowl. The flavors were also amazing.

After coming from another pho restaurant, this place has better service and food. They might not speak good English and might come off a little mean, just know they're actually nice and will get what you need with a little patience.Food was reallly good. My husband likes their chili oil and I love their fat oil when we mix it with our pho. Will definitely keep coming back!

I will go out of my way to eat any bowl of pho from this place. If I lived closer to this place I'd be here at least thrice a week, garanz. This place imbues what Chinatown truly is. Bring CASH, say yes to whatever they ask, and the three magical sisters running this establishment will feed your soul with a smile and efficiency that only a few other restaurants can replicate. Come often enough and your order will be coming out to you before you can do that second scoot we all do with our chairs when first settling in at our tables. Y'all know what I'm talking about. I usually start my journey through Chinatown here and wander and weave my way back through to get whatever my intentions were. Tell everyone you know about this place. Eat here as often as you can. Places like this are disappearing from our food landscapes. Your dollar is your vote.

Foods came out before you can blink. Very fast but then again today was raining cats & dogs & not a lot of customers when I sat down. Very delish. Prices are good . But their x large for $13.99 is pretty much the large at many other pho places. They only take CASH. Lucky I had some on me. I usually don't carry cash lol.
