Yum Yum Pho

Yay! A take out menu was available this time. The lady owner is so friendly and helpful. Hubby tends to bring out your order but he also takes orders sometimes. Their beef pho with your choice of beef(s) is an awesome deal for $13.99. They don't charge extra no matter how many of the 6 options you add unless you ask for a side order. Their tendon is my fav - nice little chunks instead of slivers that are difficult to scoop up/grab that other places often serve. Beef balls are tasty. They give PLENTY of noodles! Both daughter and I were impressed with how much pho noodles we had in our bowls. So for $13.99 you really have a large size pho. Daughter only got the plain pho and it was only $10.99. TIP 1: go early. We tend to do that and for both lunch and dinner, shortly after we sat down and ordered. There rest of the restaurant filled up. When we left this past time at dinner time, there were folks waiting outside for both their take out order and for a seat. Typical small mom pop ambiance, nothing fancy. Plenty of photos of their offerings on the walls (and outside).Go to to pay after they bring tour bill. (Or go up anyway if you are in a hurry.)TIP 2: Enter the parking lot from the traffic light at the old Aiea Library and turn left (by Aiea Manapua) to park. There's stairs on the left side (closer to where you enter) so you don't need to walk up the steep driveway on the right.

Love this cute mom & pop shop that has an AMAZING pho broth along with a combo value that's so worth it!$18 for pho, spring rolls, AND a Thai tea? What a steal in this economy! Can't find that anywhere else.Pho broth is so important to what makes pho great and their broth is aromatic, slightly sweet, and has notes of love and care with each sip.Service is quick, food is good, can't complain. My new spot for pho in Aiea!

This was the best chicken pho I've never had and I'm so sad I didn't get a picture of the food. It was one of those days where I was so happy to get out of the sun and get some authentic food outside of the touristy area. Anyways, this is a small family owned shop with a small parking area in the back. Inside you will find seating for about 15 people or so. Mostly two person tables with a larger table in the middle of the store.The lady who helped us was welcoming, friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The pho was served as a huge portion, had flavorful broth and came with plenty of noodles and chicken.

I only took a picture of the menu because I was so excited when the food came and too busy talking story that it totally slipped my mind *insert sad emoji here*Yum Yum Pho is a cute little hole in the wall place with about 6-7 tables in a cozy restaurant. On the main drag, close to Aiea Manapua. We were lucky enough to get there about 6pm and there were still a couple tables left. It took a little while for our water to come but the lady apologized and was very nice. We both got the Combo #2 which came with your choice of pho (except oxtail), 2 spring rolls, and a Thai coffee of Thai iced tea. The price is very reasonable especially with the prices of food that keeps going up.The pho broth was very tasty and a good portion. I got the rare steak but debated about getting the brisket because I usually like my meat with a little bit of fat. I used the two chili sauces on the table and the one with the oil was very very spicy but so tasty. The spring rolls were so crispy and they gave just the right amount of dipping sauce in a small ramekin. The Thai tea was a little too sweet for me but as expected. We didn't know that you're supposed to go up and pay when you're finished so we waited a while at our table for the check until I saw someone go up to pay.There's parking in the back of the building where Aiea Manapua is and next to the other buildings. And there's a stairs that goes up to the restaurant which is very convenient. Very nice staff. I wouldn't mind coming back again!

Always enjoy dining here! Joanna is awesome! She remembers our order, efficient and super friendly. Tonight I had the rare steak pho with tendons. Perfect choice for a cold and blustery evening! The serving size is large and easily shareable. Forgot to check in on my last visit, but Joanna was kind enough to give me an extra bowl so I could split a pho. The peanut sauce is delish! I enjoy eating the lettuce, cucumber and pickled veggies that come with the spring rolls as a salad. The restaurant is casual and comfortable. Joanna often recommends a combo if someone in our party is ordering a drink or side. IMHO the combos are the best deal and easily shareable!

Hidden gem in Aiea! Friends frequent this place and recommended since they live close by. The owner is so nice and the restaurant is cozy with several tables. Service is fast and she didn't need to write down our orders for our table of 5. Got it all right, impressive! Phone was ringing off the hook because there were a lot of takeout orders. The green papaya salad was crunchy and loved the nuoc mam sauce that it was soaking in. Put some sate on it and it was so good! Lots of fresh basil and shrimp was not mushy. Spring rolls came out hot from the fryer. They were crispy, well seasoned, and were a good portion. I got the Pho combo #2 with the spring rolls & Vietnamese coffee for $18.99. What a deal!! Where can you find all three of these for only $19?? The pho broth was a little on the sweeter side but the sate oil was SO spicy and it made up for the sweetness. Sate was definitely homemade. Pho noodles could have been a little more al dente but overall, very good. Very fresh veggies. The only thing is that it came with lemon wedges instead of lime and no cilantro in the broth. The Vietnamese coffee was bitter with a slight sweetness from the condensed milk. So good! Also got a Pho + Banh Mi combo for my daughter. The Bbq chicken had good flavor and the veggies complimented well with the crispy bread & chicken.This place is definitely on my favorite pho places. Love the combos and the owner!

What better way to help along a cold or flu than a bowl of Pho? Called in my takeout order and was greeted by a noticeably friendly lady. We ordered the vegetarian pho and the crab pho (available Friday through Sunday). She asked if I've ever had the crab pho before and when I told her it was my first time, she explained what was in it and that it was tomato based. I thought it was very thoughtful. Order was ready for pickup in about 30 mins. Parking is in the small lot by Aiea Manapua. We waited in the cosy little shop while listening to the family cook in the back. Very friendly people. The food was good and we will be back! Cheers.

We ordered the bbq pork Bahn mi, the Combination Bahn mi, and the shrimp summer rolls.$30.The pork Bahn Mi was not as good as most places. The pork was more like a pork roast than the BBQ pork you get at other Vietnamese restaurants.Everything else was average.The service started out good but we never got our bill as the staff started cleaning and attending to other tasks.This place does not stand out from the rest

I'm so glad we came here! Saw the great Yelp reviews so I had to come try. It's a small restaurant and the lady owner is such a sweet lady. I thought all the dishes looked delicious from the photos but I love the fact that they have special combination meals! It's a deal and I get to try the banh mi, spring rolls and pho! Hubby had the Thai tea with spring rolls and chicken pho. The spring rolls had the classic OG taste which I loved. I had the banh mi and brisket pho. This place doesn't skimp on meat, noodles or bean sprouts! I hate it when some pho restaurants charge so much for their pho nowadays with very little noodles. The broth here is amazing and they make their own hot chili oil which she indicated is pretty spicy. I loved it in my pho! We will definitely be back, this will be my go to pho spot from now on.

Popped in to check out a new pho spot and they did not disappoint. The best part.....wow a combination pho for $14, what a deal as most places are pushing high teens or 20's. The pho was a great bowl of food. The nice and clean aromatic broth. Lots of meat. And fresh veg.....makes my tummy happy. The server was friendly and the food came out quick. I'll definitely be back for their pho.
