One of my favorite pho places! This is nice family establishment, with one guy running front of house taking orders, bussing food, doing payments, and takeout. The pho is very good, nice clear broth with great flavor. What I really like about Pho Nina is they bring out really large platters of the veggie and herb sides, and he's given me a plastic baggie to take the remainder home. My favorite so far though is their bun mang vit (duck bamboo soup) which seems to only be offered on Fridays and Saturdays. The broth was so rich and came with the duck on the side with the great nuoc mam and ginger dipping sauce. The meat was pretty tender and plentiful. I can't wait to try their other non-pho dishes, like bun bo hue and banh canh. They'll sometimes have viet desserts available for purchase.
There's metered street parking in the front, but also free parking behind...

That whole scene just made it feel super authentic honestly. The counter-sunk praying altar in the back and all the Karaoke stuff just let me know it was legit. Spring rolls were really good, sauce was a bit sweet for my taste. (Prefer saltier/spicier) but I’m sure that’s to make it more palatable for the common haole. The pho is nice because they provide multiple options and mixes for the same price! The pho was great and a lot of herbs were provided, which I love! Most items were around $15+ range which is to be expected of Hawaii. Free parking in the back, and metered street parking in the front on king st. (Free on Sunday’s/holidays) Great...
