Phở Quê Hương is a Vietnamese restaurant tucked into the bustling heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown, offering a straightforward, full-service dining experience focused on authentic, hearty Vietnamese comfort food. The interior feels refreshingly cool and relaxed, which can be a welcome contrast to the tropical heat outside, making it comfortable for savoring their hot bowls of pho and other dishes.

Visitors here typically come looking for classic pho with clear, fragrant broths and generous portions of tender meats—as well as a variety of other Vietnamese staples that go beyond the usual. Popular choices like the Chicken Pho with Chowfun Noodle and the House Special Sampler Plate highlight a menu rich with flavor and variety. You’ll also find interesting dishes like Vietnamese crepes (banh xeo), goat meat salad, and ribeye steak served sizzling on a hot plate, which add layers of texture and spice to the dining experience. For those seeking something light or fresh, dishes such as papaya salad with shrimp or Goi Ngo Sen (lotus stem salad) offer vivid, crisp flavors.

The atmosphere suits both casual solo diners and groups, as some pho portions come large enough to share. The restaurant’s location within Chinatown means parking can be a bit of a challenge, so planning for a short walk or ride-share might make the visit easier. Service tends to be attentive and friendly, matched by a menu that balances traditional dishes with a few regional specialties that feel homely and thoughtfully prepared.

Phở Quê Hương also serves drinks that complement the food well, including strong Vietnamese coffee and flavorful Thai tea, which provide a nice counterpoint to the savory, brothy dishes. The overall vibe is comfortable and no-frills, ideal for those who appreciate authentic Vietnamese cuisine in a spot that blends into the everyday rhythm of Honolulu’s Chinatown.

This spot is best suited for anyone in search of genuine Vietnamese flavors—from pho aficionados and noodle lovers to those curious about lesser-known regional dishes. Visiting during typical meal times ensures a steady flow of locals and the kind of hustle that comes with a well-loved neighborhood favorite. Whether you’re seated inside or grabbing a quick bite, the focus remains on solid, satisfying food that reflects the rich culinary traditions of Vietnam amid Honolulu’s diverse food scene.

I love Pho and I'm glad I come to this Vietnamese restaurant. Food and service are good, and portion is also pretty big. I start with Pho Cuon rolls, it is ok but I like Nem Nuong Cuon better. For main I have Pho Suon Bo and it supposed to be a meal for 2. Soup is very nice and short ribs is soft and delicious. I'm so surprise that they have flan in the menu, and I like it a lot. If you like Vietnamese food, this place is the real deal.

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

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.

Pho-king amazing food here. I’d encourage everyone to try things besides the pho, like the tamarind chicken wings, or banh cuoh. It’s all ready good and well made.

Delicious food and very authentic. We tried the Bun Bo Hue and the Bun Xiao both were delicious. The Bun Xiao was bigger than what was pictured and came with tons of fresh greens on the side (although the portion was so big we had to ordered extra greens). We walked, so parking wasn't an issue but parking is always somewhat of an issue in Chinatown. The Bun Bo Hue has pork hock and pork blood, tons of meats, tendons and lots of greens as well! I will definitely be back!

We came here on a Saturday night close to 7pm, on a whim. Basically found street parking and it was one of the first restaurants we saw. Even though we went up and down a couple of streets, we headed back to this one as it was packed so we knew it must be good. Looking around at other tables, everyone seemed very pleased with their meal and are very generous in portions. The lotus salad had just the right amount of tang and was full of lotus. I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely order it again. The vegetarian spring rolls were cooked to perfection and they gave you a generous amount of garnishes. No soggy middle! I ordered the vegetarian phõ and that also was generous in size despite my poor picture taking. I only ate half and took the rest home. The broth is very light so I did have to add some condiments that were on the table. However they are very generous with the different types of vegetables that they put in there which I was also surprised with. The Mr. had an XL combo phõ and barely finished it. It was such an abundance. I didn't eat the chicken wings since I'm pescatarian but I was told they were good. We took a decent amount of leftovers home for the kid. I would definitely come back here again but would need to share my entrée as they do give generous portions. It's no wonder there were many tables that were generational as you can easily share dishes.

Coming from the mainland east coast I think this place has ruined my expectations for Vietnamese food. The pho here is incredible. Also had some kind of BBQ pork "fresh" or "spring" roll that was absolutely incredible. If I'm ever back in Hawaii, I definitely hope to be back to this place to try more on their menu.

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!
