  My go to Pho restaurant.  Located in the Aina Haina shopping center, they have a good amount of seating where you can just walk in and find a table.  The service is quick and efficient.  From time to time, I would order take outs and the flavor is as good as dining in.
  
  Their Volcano sauce is so yummy. I would buy a bottle to keep at home.

  Is it just me or has pho prices gone up? This place had good pho but a bit too sweet for my taste. Hubby had the Volcano chicken dish and that was spicy good! They add jalapeños in it so it definitely has some heat! They also accommodated me because I didn't want any noodles and just bean sprouts instead.
  
  The service was friendly although they forgot to bring the Thai coffee until after we received our meals. I would say it did rub me the wrong way when it said on the menu, "$2 for extra bowl to share." I just don't feel that's good business when you charge customers like that.

  Had been going here for a while and thought that I found the best pho and spring rolls on the island, however tonight when I got my vegetarian pho there was a piece of chicken in it. And then a couple more shreds of chicken in my broth, I asked if it was actually vegetarian and was told yes, but my soup had been cross contaminated and chicken fell in. I hadn't eaten all day and was grinding my soup til I saw the surprises that made me lose my appetite. Things happen, no worries, but if you put meat in a vegetarians dish, atleast comp it. Nobody wants to pay for what they didn't order. The servers were very friendly but the restaurant should address a mistake like that better, I know it's a local business not a Cheesecake Factory but atleast throw out some Haupia and hope to keep a customer around. Not only is meat repulsive to a vegetarian , but from years in food service: CHICKEN IS A MAJOR CROSS CONTAMINATION RISK FOOD, It shouldn't just be floating around the kitchen and falling into some bowls. I am disappointed because my good friend who is a vegan took me here and she's been eating there for years with her family and vouched heavily for their vegan options. Well, they have meat in them sometimes.
  
  Sorry, love the volcano sauce, the flavors, and the staff is fine but its simply unacceptable to slip meat in a vegetarians dish, bottom line.

  Mama Pho is one of favorite places to go when you have the "sniffles". Their pho dishes are simmering hot. Just add the side herbs & veggies, top it off with their signature volcano sauce & lots of napkins.
  Oh by the way, their appetizers are perfect for a quick lunch. And they sell their signature volcano sauce.

  Never disappoints. Always on point. Love the spring rolls. They are as fresh as they come. The Pho is always one of my favorites on the island.
