Pho 97

Family restaurants are so special. This restaurant does not disappoint. The food is amazing and the menu selection is huge with lots of comfort food favorites. You can tell a lot of love goes into their dishes and serving their customers. They are open everyday, morning to night. Great location in the middle of Chinatown. I definitely recommend this gem! I'll be returning. I can't wait to share it with others! Thank you to the Pho 97 Family!

Authentic delicious food. I always leave here full and happy!

SO DELICIOUS. Great portions, great price and food came out fast. Reminds me of being home. Very authentic food. 10/10 would recommend.

This has been our go to for great Vietnamese food! We have tried different kinds of pho, rice plates, and appetizers! Their is very tasty and another reason we like going here is it’s very clean! The smell of pho isn’t that strong like other Vietnamese restaurants! My son in law is Vietnamese and also enjoys coming here whenever they’re visiting.

Had a wonderful meal here! This is a family-run restaurant, and you can tell that quality food and genuine hospitality really matter to them. I ordered the oxtail pho, and the meat was incredibly tender while the broth was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The fresh herbs were beautiful. Seeing culantro included was such a treat, and the bean sprouts were crisp and fresh. I also tried the Vietnamese iced coffee (strong, sweet, and delicious) and their banana tapioca dessert, which was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. The restaurant has a charming historic feel that fits perfectly with its Chinatown location. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. I’ll definitely be back!

Our family of four visited this restaurant in May 2026. We each ordered a different Vietnamese dish: pho, Hue rice noodle soup (bún bò Huế), etc. I especially enjoyed mine very much: Vermicelli with grilled pork and spring rolls. The foods were very authentic Vietnamese - very flavourful and delicious. And the portions are very generous with plenty of fresh vegetables. We are planning to come back to dine there again and we highly recommend Pho 97.

In the heart of Chinatown. Mom and Pop Vietnamese restaurant. Dont expect anything fancy here with about 10 tables. The food is the star here. Home style, authentic Vietnamese dishes. I tried the Pho. The broth is clear, but full beefy flavor. The spices is not overpowering at all. Generous portions of meats. The rice noodles are cooked perfectly. Herbs and vegetables are fresh. The price is good for the amount of food you get. The service was average though. But I didn't need much, but my food came out fast and piping hot. But she never came and checked and refill my water. My experience was great and will go again. Only Four STARS for now until I try more dishes.

A gem that deserves higher ratings! Pretty empty at 7:30pm on a Monday which was a little sus but every dish was great and our party of 5 finished all our plates—two grilled pork chops, a vermicelli bowl, and a pho (one person shared). Small thing but the tap water was also good! Big roomy tables (many can seat 6, instead of squeezing around a four-seater) and the facilities are clean. Would definitely come back.

Located in Chinatown. Super friendly owners and staff. Very welcoming to our family and kids. The spring rolls came with veggies to wrap and dip with fish sauce. Combo pho had a nice mix of tendon, tripe, brisket, Sliced beef and meatballs. Viet coffee came ready to drink in a cup. The offer fresh soymilk too!

I had my first ever bowl of pho here and fell in love with it. Hannah is amazing and she takes care of the patrons like family! I would have my first meal here the next time I am in hawaii! Mahalo
