The menu at Phở Quê Hương is a feast for the senses, boasting a variety of dishes that showcase the bold flavors and fragrant ingredients characteristic of Vietnamese cooking.

If you're a fan of savory crepes, don’t miss the Vietnamese Crepes, generously stuffed with shrimp, pork belly, mung beans, fresh bean sprouts, and onions for just $14.00.

The star of the show, however, may very well be their Bún Bò Huế, a spicy and aromatic noodle soup that local fans rave about, earning nods for its rich broth and complexity of flavor, reminiscent of home-cooked meals.

There were so many items on the menu, and the food was delicious. It’s definitely a place I’d like to visit again. You might feel more comfortable when the restaurant is busy (just my personal opinion). But be cautious during slower hours Since it’s located in Chinatown, sometimes homeless people come in and eat leftover food. The staff does try to keep an eye out but the homeless can be surprisingly quick.

I only came here to get some refreshing sugarcane juice to beat the Honolulu humidity... and BOY, WAS IT GOOOD! Stop by for some if you're walking around Chinatown. The nuoc mis tasted so fresh and they served it nice and cold, with Calamansi too! I highly recommend it. My friends tried the pho here and just said it was okay. Nothing crazy.

Authentic Vietnamese food. I didn't like their pho because the rice noodles were a bit too soft for me. However, their bún bò Huế is great! I also appreciate the small things like having Vietnamese music played in the background. Spacious restaurant and great service.

This is located in China town. We had a reservation and were seated right away. I thought it would be too hot to eat pho but inside the restaurant was cold, which made the restaurant food more enjoyable. The vegetarian pho was very good. Broth was delicious. I had the bahn mi and it was also very good. Everything we had did not disappoint. This is definitely a place to go back to

This restaurant is amazingly good for Vietnamese food in Honolulu! You must try this restaurant if you visit this island. The combo foods you want to order is: Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with catfish (canh chua với cá bông lau), braised catfish (cá bông lau kho tộ) in clay pot, and pork ribs in clay pot (sườn kho tộ). You must order these 3 dishes and you won't regret it. My family can't stop describing how good the foods are as they eat. It was me and my brother's second time but our parent's first time here. The foods above came with white rice so don't have to worry about ordering it unless you want extra. We did try Phở, Miến gà, and Bún Bò on the next day for breakfast, they were alright but nowhere to compared to the 3 dishes above. Overall, you must try this restaurant and the foods I mentioned above if you come to this restaurant! You can go back and thank me later.

Today I got to try their large combination pho for $17 and it was great. The broth tasted so good and also the noodle, vegetables, and the meats. Also, the server was very helpful and friendly.

Authentic Vietnamese Gem in the Heart of Chinatown Honolulu! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are in the heart of Chinatown Honolulu and craving authentic Vietnamese flavors, Pho Que Huong is a must-visit! I enjoyed an amazing meal with so many highlights. The Bún Bò Huế was rich, spicy, and perfectly balanced, reminding me of true home-style cooking like my sister No 5). The Bún Gà Chả Giò Nướng had such fresh herbs and a wonderful crunch from the spring rolls, while the Cơm Sườn Nướng (Pork Steak BBQ) was juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. I also added two extra Chả Giò, which were golden, crispy, and absolutely delicious. To finish, the refreshing Chè Ba Màu dessert was the perfect sweet treat — colorful, creamy, and full of texture with real coconut cream mixed like Vietnamese way! The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere captures the authentic charm of a Vietnamese family restaurant. Whether you are local or visiting Honolulu, this place is a hidden gem that delivers comfort, flavor, and authenticity in every dish. Highly recommended!
