Came here on my trip, on a raining day, busy day that they ran out of pho..... I got the last bowl ;) Pho tastes good and will come back when I am back on the island

Not the best photo but the best pho! The broth is so flavorful and tasty. It was a cold rainy day in hilo so soup was a must. I forgot to take a pic of the garlic chili oil which they probably have the best chili oil compared to other places it's definitely home made.

This place has the best chicken pho in Hilo. The service is quick and friendly and the restaurant itself is very clean.

My wife has been raving about this "pho" place in Hilo for a while now. I finally got a chance to try it and it did not disappoint. First off, any place my wife wants to go to several times means it must be at the top of the food chain! Pho Viet is located in back of Garden Exchange. Apparently there are two pho places so look for Pho Viet - on the right side. Be careful when walking from Haili street as there are sketchy people hanging out on both sides of the road. (What happened Hilo??). Unfortunately there is hardly any parking so you probably have to walk to the restaurant from away. When you go inside the place is pretty small like 6-8 tables but it's constantly filled with people. They all look like they are enjoying their meal. The lady that runs the place is super nice and lets my wife bring her own "additions" to the pho. The pho is really good and you can choose from the usual choices - flank, beef round, tendon, meatball. The broth is delicious and you can order extra noodles which I did. The chili pepper sauce is really really good but make sure you taste and taste. I made mine a little too spicy and had to add more broth - which they made and gave to me. Excellent!!!!!! After eating the bowl, I felt good. I was stuffed but in a good way. The feeling lasted all night and I never had to eat again for the rest of the day and I slept great ! There was a constant flow of people. I guess everyone knows how good this place is. My brother in law says this place is the best in Hilo. I believe it.

We dropped by after spending the day at Volcano National Park. We were hoping to get some Spring/Summer rolls, but this establishment doesn't have any on the menu. We settled on two bowls of Chicken Pho with white meat. This is the first restaurant we've been to that gave you a choice on the chicken, white, dark, or a combination of both. A nice option. The Pho broth was flavorful, and the accompanying vegetables were fresh. All in all, a great bowl of Pho, just wished we had some spring rolls to go with it.

After a long morning of swimming, this place truly hit the spot. If you want authentic Viet pho, this is the spot. You get to sit anywhere and the service is snappy quick and the food comes out in no time. I got chicken soup which is basically chicken pho and it did not disappoint. The flank pho was perfect as well! The Thai Iced tea was super refreshing as well. My only comment would be the pho being on the pricey side at $15 a bowl... and Thai tea for $4. So keep the price in mind! Either than that, 10/10. Friendly, authentic, and a clean place to grab some delicious pho.

We came here around noon for lunch right after hitting up Hilo's farmer's market which was a 10 min walk away. From the outside it looked like it'd be a hole-in-the-wall experience - hidden gem and delicious. There was plenty of 2 hour street parking along Mamo St and it's just a short walk over. The restaurant was half full when we arrived. We ordered a beef stew, dark meat pho ga (chicken broth), flank with meatball pho bo (beef broth), and a thai tea. It was a hot day as usual so the thai tea was great for the weather. It wasn't too sweet either and was a perfect appetizer to start off a lunch with hot noodle soup. As per usual with pho places, we were given a small dish of lime, basil, and another spice that I've never had before. Unfortunately, they were out of bean sprouts that day. The basil was super fresh and flavorful. The broth for all of the soups were delicious. It was so good that we all finished our soups. I even picked up the bowl and just straight-up drank the spicy broth from the beef stew. The broths alone are more than enough reason to visit this place. I'm pretty sure the broths don't have MSG added either. They probably have one of the best beef and chicken pho broths I've ever had in the entire US, and believe me, I've tried a lot. The beef stew was great. I tried so hard to not eat to quick and choke on the chili oil to no avail. Thank goodness I had that thai tea. The meat was tender, the noodles were the right firmness, and the chili oil wasn't too spicy while still being flavorful. The dark meat pho ga was great too. The meat was tender. The texture wasn't like it was barely cooked and still tender nor was it overcooked. It was just done perfectly. The flank with meatball pho bo was also really good. The meat was tender, the meat portions were huge, and the broth was flavorful without being too salty or bland. Their prices are super cheap (around $12 per person) and the value you get is incredibly worth it.

5 stars for food! This place was packed when we got there at noon....only one person serving front of house so things we slow. Ordered iced coffee with cream (yum!)...just Mix the cream and the coffee before you pour it over the ice. The noodles, broth, veggies and meat tender, flavorful. Would come here again.
