Golden Pho — Restaurant in Oʻahu

Golden Pho completely blew us away! I’ll have to admit, it's now my favorite spot for pho. The parking area is a bit snug, but each parking stall feels very roomy which is great! And the entrance is absolutely stunning, especially with all the outdoor lighting, it looks absolutely gorgeous at night. I couldn't help but notice it driving by.

As for the food, the Large Pho was delicious I’ve never had really good broth like that in pho before! And those Spring Rolls were awesome! And they don’t hold back on the sides or the lettuce so they’ll definitely fill you up. Initially before choosing Golden Pho for lunch my girlfriend said she wasn't really hungry but when we got there, she ended up eating just as much as me! She even ordered the Mussels twice!😂 Honestly at the end of our meal I wish I wasn’t full because I wanted another order of spring rolls.😩

Service was top-notch too. They kept our glasses full, brought over napkins, and just made us feel super welcome. We tossed in a tip as a thank-you for the awesome experience. Seriously, Golden Pho deserves way more buzz. We honestly can't wait to show some of our friends so we can go...

🌺 Golden Pho – Kāneʻohe’s Hidden Gem Full of Aloha! 🌺

We found this pōmaikaʻi (lucky) spot on our way to the Jurassic Adventure Tour at Kualoa Ranch—and wow, what a find! Golden Pho in Kāneʻohe is a must-stop for anyone cruising the windward side.

The restaurant is maikaʻi loa (super clean) with a laid-back, welcoming vibe. Locally owned and full of aloha, the staff treated us like ʻohana from the moment we walked in. Excellent customer service—friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind.

Now the food? Ono kine grinds! Every bite was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The pho broth was rich and soothing, perfectly seasoned without being overpowering. You can taste the care in every dish—clean ingredients, balanced flavors, and generous portions.

This isn’t just another pho spot—it’s a place that feels like home, with food that feeds both your belly and your soul. If you’re heading to Kualoa Ranch or just exploring the east side, do yourself a favor and stop here.

Mahalo to Golden Pho—we’ll be back...

My boyfriend surprised me by taking me to Golden Pho after work today, even though I was already full. We ended up eating so much and even getting seconds on our favorite item! We ordered the #17 pho with eye round steak and well-done flank, #90 mussels (our favorite ❤️), and #1 spring rolls (deep-fried). The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our water glasses were always full and bringing extra napkins when I needed them.

The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. The pho broth was flavorful, and the mussels were a delightful surprise! I never thought peanuts on mussels would work, but the combination of flavors and textures was fantastic. The spring rolls were a bit smaller than what I'm used to, but they were tasty, and there was plenty of lettuce to wrap each one. Unlike some other pho places, we didn't have to skimp on the lettuce.

Overall, Golden Pho is a clean, welcoming place with wonderful staff and amazing food. We’ll...
