Super Pho Chinatown
About
A Steaming Bowl in the Heart of Honolulu's Chinatown
Walking into Super Pho, the first thing that hits you is the unmistakable aroma of star anise, charred ginger, and slow-simmered beef bones drifting through the air. This isn’t a place for white-tablecloth service; it is a straightforward, bustling spot tucked into the historic streets of downtown Honolulu where the focus remains entirely on the depth of the broth. You will hear the clatter of ceramic spoons against bowls and the hum of locals grabbing a quick lunch break amid the midday heat.
The Signature Broth
The kitchen is known for its mastery of traditional Pho, delivering a clean, aromatic beef broth that hits the palate with a subtle sweetness before finishing with a savory punch. Their signature Pho Tai—featuring thin, high-quality slices of raw eye round steak that gently cook in the searing liquid—is a staple for anyone craving comfort food. The portion sizes are generous, often served with a side of snappy bean sprouts, fresh Thai basil, and sliced jalapeños to customize your heat levels.
What to Expect
Because the shop occupies a smaller footprint in a busy urban district, parking can be a bit of a localized challenge; it is best to utilize nearby public lots or arrive by foot if you are exploring the local markets. The interior is functional and no-frills, catering to a crowd that values efficiency and authentic flavor profiles above all else. Whether you are a resident of the island looking for a reliable bowl or a visitor roaming the cultural corridor of Hawaii’s capital, Super Pho delivers a consistent, soulful experience that stays true to Vietnamese culinary roots.

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! My second visit here was even better than the first! Service was excellent 👌

The menu features many delicious dishes, with Pho and Bu’n being my personal favorites. Don't forget to try the yogurt, flan, and fresh sugarcane juice—they are the perfect way to finish off your meal. It is well worth a visit if you are looking for genuine Vietnamese flavors.

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.
