Ribs & Broth

I wanted to treat my parents to dinner and since it was cold and raining, they chose this place...They told me they've been here before and LOVED the food...First, Hu the Owner greeted us with the friendliest attitude and told us to sit anywhere...For his personality alone I'd give this place a 2 thumbs up BUT, not only was the service wonderful, so was the munchies...THE BEST BBQ Chicken BAHN MI EVER!...Promise you, it is!!!One bite and the secret sauce drips out and you'll understand then!...Aside from the Bahn mi, you MUST MUST try their Beef Rib w/noodles!!!...Must plan to take a nap after cause you wont want to do nothing else...Food paralysis at its best!

Ribs and Broth has become my go-to spot for a quick bite with friends, a last-minute meal out, or when I'm just not feeling up to making homemade pho for myself. As a vegan, I really appreciate that they offer a veggie broth and are happy to customize it to my liking. It's not always easy to find a place where vegans and non-vegans alike can enjoy a meal, but this spot nails it.The portions are generous and definitely shareable, so I always leave with leftovers for the next day. Their menu has something for everyone, making it an easy choice no matter who I'm with. The inside seating is ample, but fair warning--it's chilly in there! Bring a hoodie or jacket to stay comfy. The service is solid there. They don't hover but always keep an eye on refilling your beverage, which is nice.Another thing I really appreciate is the clean bathroom (always a good sign!) and the convenience of the parking, which is plentiful since they're located in a shopping center.My only small wish is that they'd go back to keeping the chili sauce in the fridge like they used to, but that's a tiny detail. Overall, this spot is solid, and if you haven't tried it yet, I definitely encourage you to stop by.See you on Yelp!Deb B

One of the best restaurants around - great food and the cleanest place ever!Thank you

I've been to this location a few times now and have never left disappointed. The guy who seats us and takes our orders is so friendly, it makes me happy to walk in and see him. So far I've tried the brisket pho, the vegetable pho, and wonton pho. All of them are so delicious, and even just writing this now makes me want to go get some pho! The inside is clean and calm, a perfect spot to meet my husband for lunch since he works nearby. This is definitely one of my favorite spots!!

#31 of 52 (weeks of trying a new restaurant at least once a week).I was craving pho so we headed to Wahiawa to our normal spot only to find out it was closed for some reason. I was so bummed as I really wanted pho. Then I remembered there was another pho restaurant in Wahiawa that we hadn't tried yet. Hit a u-turn and we high tailed it to Ribs & Broth. It was a weeknight and there were a few empty tables so we were in luck. After a quick view of the menu I settled on the steak and brisket pho and my honey got the steak pho. We saw another table enjoying the fried oyster so decided to get some of those as well. The oysters came pretty quickly. They had a nice taste to the them and the sauce was good. Up next the pho came out. I doctored it up with all the veggies and dug in. The broth was tasty and I like how thin the brisket was cut as it made it easy to eat. There was a nice meat to fat ratio in the brisket. Steak was good as well. I will say that I wished the veggies that came with the noodles included the long stem cilantro. Our normal place has that and I really like it in the pho. The place is bright and clean and they do have a restroom. The owner came by and asked how our food was and how we heard about that. While I still love my normal pho place in Wahiawa, this will be our choice on the days our go-to spot is closed.

It's officially fall with sporadic cold and rainy nights. We decided to check out Ribs and Broth after seeing multiple reviews from instagram. On a weeknight, surprisingly this place was packed. However service is fast and there's a huge amount of parking available.The menu is similar to other pho restaurants however they have some Japanese food available. Great options for those who are not feeling pho. We decided to other the short rib pho, spring roll vermicelli, and bbq pork bahn mi. Everything was delicious especially the bahn mi. My husband who doesn't like bahn mis loved theirs. He said the flavor and the texture of the bread was great unlike some other places that toast the bread to the point it's rock hard. Portions were really good as well. Service was really friendly. Especially when we were there, there was only one server but yet he was so nice. Many people were ordering the wafu steak that comes out on a sizzling platter. It looked and smelled delicious. We definitely will be back if we're in the area.

Food here is still delicious! Iced coffee - I'd pass next time. Don't care for it served in a take out cup while I'm dining in, and it was premade, not the usual French press style prepared at the table. Definitely did not have the strong punch I was expecting & it's $6.50.Summer Rolls were refreshing! Soft exterior with crunchy textures from the fresh veggies inside. We ordered this with shrimp and it was just perfect. The peanut sauce served on the side was lightly flavored, not too sweet, not too salty, but just right!Spring Rolls here are a MUST TRY. Honestly, there's nothing different about the preparation or ingredients... it's the standard size and filled spring roll you'd get from other similar eateries, but there's something about it that stands out from the rest. Their sauce is also amazing.. maybe it's the 2 combined that just hits the spot for me :)Beef Back Rib Pho - my wife's favorite. This is so simple, but the flavor of the broth and that tender, tender meat that falls off the bone... YUMMM. If you're a meat eater, I would highly suggest trying this at least once. It might look intimidating because the large bone sticking out the bowl, but it's really not that much food. I'd compare it to a medium sized pho, as far as the amount of noodles they give. Same veggies are served on the side - we like to dip the meat in a side dish of hoisin, sriracha, and chili oil. Deeeerishess!Lastly, the Lemongrass Chicken Bahn Mi - this was really good, although different. The bread 5/5: Soft, crunchy and noticeably fresh. The chicken 5/5: Well marinated and perfectly cooked. It had nice grill marks and was soft & juicy to the bite. Made with chicken thighs, which I prefer 100%. This Bahn mi was PACKED with flavor.. a curry flavor, which I wasn't expecting, but it was still a great dish. The light mayo spread and pickled carrot & daikon brings it all together. I ate the entire thing! No regrets! LolAs far as service, it wasn't as great as the last time, but our needs were met, so I'd say lunch was a success. Oh ya and we didn't get charged for take out containers... YAY! Lol

Lunch in Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii...This is the original location of Ribs & Broth. Dear Daniel and I didn't want to drive out here - so, we went to the new Waikiki location. It's a different experience... in "town"...The good things about this Wahiawa location are:1. Free, stress-free parking;2. Exceptional service - the owner would call young boys "boss" and greet older guys with "bro"... very friendly! He asked where I came from and said he used to work in Kaneohe for 15 years!3. You get to see what locals eat. I heard sizzling platters several times and had to ask what that deliciousness was... Wagyu beef! I'll have to get that next time!On this visit, I got the Beef Back Rib Pho. That's what Daniel had in Waikiki. He enjoyed it so much because the meat fell off of the bone! Yes! It does! ...and the meat is so tender and flavorful! Wow! Noodles, fresh veggies, and broth are great, too!When you have time and want to have a leisurely drive to "God's Country" (that's what people who live in Wahiawa call their town), come out to Ribs & Broth! It's a nicely decorated place with yummy food and Aloha Spirit!

Rainy nights call for Pho for dinner! Nothing hits more than a big bowl of soup on a cold rainy night. This Wahiawa gem has plenty of parking and a super clean and bright interior. You can tell that this a real local, family- run joint. I think that they're mostly known for their beef back ribs pho, that comes with a giant bone-in beef rib inside. We opted for their short ribs pho, beef stew with rice, and nem cuon summer rolls. My absolute favorite of the night was the nem cuon summer rolls with their grilled pork sausage. What really sets this summer roll apart from the rest is the little rolled up crispy wonton paper inside! The beef stew was like a beef stew / soup combo. Very soupy and had a lot of the same flavor profiles as the pho but with added tomato base. The meat inside was very tender and we got it with rice, but other starch options were rice noodles or bread. The short ribs is my pho were a bit chewy and I did miss all the other things that usually come in a combo pho like the tendon and tripe. The broth was very good, I didn't even need to add any hoisin or sriracha. I did notice on other tables (but not ours) were what looked like a homemade garlic chili sauce. Next time I come in, I'm getting the combo pho and trying that garlic chilli sauce with it. And 100% coming back again for that summer roll (4 B)

We ordered the #29 (Beef Rib Bone Soup) and #28 (COMBO Pho Dac Biet). The restaurant was very clean, organized, and looked good. Music was pleasant. Staff was very friendly, courteous and nice.Ok for the Pho:1. Came out pretty fast.2. Piping hot3. Plenty of meat. Big pieces of Beef Ribs (two)4. Noodles, decent amount. My wife ate a large, normally only eats mediums. Good texture.5. Now only complaint was the broth was very bland! Little salty, but no beefy flavor. Too bad. I was hoping this would be awesome Pho.6. Pricey. $24 for the #29 and $18.25 for the #28
