Honolulu punches well above its weight when it comes to Vietnamese food, and this list ranks the best of it using real visitor ratings collected right here on NateEatsHawaii. From steaming bowls of pho to crispy banh mi and fragrant lemongrass plates, I pulled together all 44 qualifying spots so you can find the ones truly worth your time.
Topping the rankings is Midtown Eats, Honolulu's newest food hall in Ala Moana, and inside it you'll find Ms. Nguyen Banh Mi & Rolls — a Vietnamese counter known for fresh-daily banh mi, a famous chicken pho, and a standout Vietnamese iced coffee. Both spots carry the NateEatsHawaii badge as Nate's personally verified recommendations. Further down the list you'll find well-regarded neighborhood staples like Hale Vietnam Restaurant in Kaimuki, known for modern Vietnamese fare including pho and BBQ plates, and Mama Pho, a traditional eatery beloved for its homemade noodle soups.
