Super Pho Waialae — Restaurant in Honolulu

It's been a while since I had great vietnamese food this place definitely hit the spot.

The only thing I would say is this place is a tad bit more expensive then the usual norm.

Catfish braised stew was so good literally best I've had in a while. Would 100% order again. It wasn't too salty or sweet and had a nice depth of flavor. Fish was tender also like how it should be.

Catfish Sour Soup was very good. Kind of wish it was more sour for my taste but the Pineapple added in the dish makes it a bit sweeter which is perfectly fine and still delicious.

Beef and Lemon Salad was a nice appetizer to start out with. Very refreshing and the beef wasn't overcooked and the sauce was just right.

The Durian Milkshake had real durian in it and the Pandan Drink was very good 5 stars on the drinks

Downside of these dishes

But Bo Hue just tasted like spicy noodle soup. Doesn't really have that bun Bo Hue taste if you know what I mean. Wouldn't order again.

Next the Spring Roll for $12 was not worth the price. Tasted like average spring rolls and the peanut sauce on the side was average

But I would definitely recommend the dishes I spoke well of in this review you won't be...

I took flights more than 14 hours to Hawaii and came to this restaurant for my first meal in Hawaii for this trip. My friend took me here cuz it is good review for Vietnamese food. We arrive there at 6:15 pm and get a table right away. BUT: we were waiting almost an hour to get our first food (steamed clam with lemongrass). 15 mins later we got our second food (porridge). After that, I had to walk to the reception to ask for my food (crab udon)upon. The total times I spent there almost 1h45 mins which wasted alot of my time. The food is ok though. During waiting, the waiter has offered any snack food to eat while waiting our main food. He offered biscuits or BBQ sandwich. We chosed the second option and thought it is on the house. But it was charged in the bill. The excuse for the long waiting our food is so many togo orders which is unacceptable. Dine in should be priority first. It was my first time waiting 1 hour to get normal VNM foods. Disappointed!!! P/s: the crab udon broth (banh canh cua) want legit either. How can u use bun rieu broth for crab udon. I know it because the broth is for bun rieu and it has tomato in the broth. No VNM put tomato...
