Phở King Vietnamese Restaurant - Vietnamese restaurant in Wahiawa - 823 California Ave, USA

Service was outstanding, but the pho could be much better. Broth is ok. Those who are saying it’s the best broth probably haven’t had much pho before. I’m Vietnamese. For the price, they are lacking in the meats option. The brisket was cut extra thick and hard to chew. Pho noodles were not fresh. They did give a lot of vegetables though and I recommend the Vietnamese coffee it’s very strong. Restaurant is a little cramp.

Amount of food they give you is insane. Big portions are awesome and you can’t complain about it if the food is good but in this case it wasn’t because the flavors were off. I hate to be the person who wastes food so I normally eat it all or take things to-go but this is how much food my husband and I wasted. The broth was so bland that I asked for extra limes and squeezed at least 8 of them in which still didn’t taste right. We also got spring rolls which was so mushy inside and threw me off with the texture. Everything about this experience didn’t feel authentic. I honestly think the ratings for this restaurant is so high because most people living on/around base are not familiar with authentic Asian foods. Same goes for other Asian restaurants around base. It’s a trip but if you want something close to authentic Asian flavors, go out to town. Added an extra star because the waitress was very friendly and sweet.

This place is awesome. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. The Pho has a slightly sweet flavor, but it's delicious; cooked for 16 hours and is well worth the money. (Not too expensive. Veggie and tofu spring rolls were awesome, too.

My favorite pho place on the island, and that’s saying something because I’ve been to many pho places 🤣

We got beef & meatball pho and teri beef rice plate. This place was really yummy. I wanna say this is the first restaurant pho I've finished! It hit all the right spots. Hubby loved the teri beef and said it was better than he expected! Definitely coming back here!!!

I'm probably (ok, definitely) immature but i got a good laugh at the tshirts they sold (I had to buy one lol; at least as of when I got mine the women's cut tshirts were $17 and the men's were $15, fyi). I tried the spring rolls with bbq chicken and the garlic shrimp pho and both were really tasty! I didn't get a picture of the spring rolls because I had just been walking around the beautiful botanical garden that's like a block away from this place (so i had worked up an appetite at that point) but they were fresh and light with really flavorful chicken and dipping sauce and a lovely fresh herb flavor. The pho (which i only got a picture of before i dressed it up with all the herbs and whatnot) was huuuuge, even for the small size (i could've happily split it; i ended up leaving like half uneaten because i couldn't eat another bite - so sad!). The broth was flavorful and light, there were plenty of shrimp in it, and plentiful toppings of the usual variety at the table. I kept sipping the broth long after i got too full to eat any more noodles. The staff were really nice and attentive. The place itself has a bit of a hole-in-the-wall feel to it but those are usually the best places so don't let that dissuade you. We had a bit of a "cold snap" that week (60s and 70s lol) so a bowl of hot soup was apparently on everyone else's minds too (the place, already really small, was packed and had a 15-min wait). It was worth it, though. Please check this place out if you're in the area. Next on my wishlist is the taqueria next door!

Beef and brisket pho was pretty dang good! I usually travel down to Kapolei to get some good pho. Now I know I can get some close to home. The portion was good and they give an enormous amount of vegetables (which I love). Prices were decent too! I came here before, a loooong time ago and didnt really like it. Now, I love it!

We ordered oxtail pho and combination pho and an order of shrimp roll. We we're so hungry and excited to eat dinner but then something not right. My husband says the oxtail pho taste like soap. Then i tried the combination, i say, yes kinda taste like soap. But then i tried the shrimp roll and it have more noodles than the shirmp and vegetables. I can tell the noodles taste like soap. 😟 so disappointed!
