Our Guestbook
“ This was a highly recommended restaurant by friends that come frequently to Kauai. We had a couple of Grilled Pork and Shrimp with fried eggroll Vermicelli bowls. It was a generous portion of the proteins and the bed of cucumber, bean sprouts and lettuce This made the dish healthier and nicely balanced with the amount of vermicelli noodles. The restaurant was clean and the staff was courteous. Definitely recommending this place to you all and returning ourselves for another great deal. ”
“ Service was excellent and food was amazing! Convenient stop while out and about. Definitely recommend try this gem out! ”
“ Ok, either I was really hungry or it was really good. Evidence speaks for itself. Service was not bad, as with all Asian restaurants, I didn't expect 5 star, but the waitress was attentive. There's ample parking and the sketchy looking bathroom out back was surprisingly clean. ”
“ Aloha Yelpies, There is a ridiculous amount of ono (flavor) they definitely know how to bring comfort food to you fast and hot. First class service and comfortable environment. Get in here and enjoy ”
“ We've had real Raman in Japan and had heard about Saimin and decided to try it and at this restaurant that's been around for a while. It was delicious. I don't recommend on a hot day. Eating hot soup makes you hotter but it was so tasty. I got the shrimp saimin. (Bottom) my husband got the pork (forgot the name). He had a bite of mine and said it tasted better than his. I loved it and would order again. It's a friendly staff, affordable, and fast! It is cash only! ”
“ One of the many times I strongly disagree with quite a few Yelp ratings (obvs, YMMV, not saying everyone should think what I think). You CANNOT hold a pho place in Kauai, or I don't know, Alaska, for that matter, to the same standard as a pho place in Vietnam proper or in Orange County, California. They have nowhere near the raw ingredients (esp herbs) access. With what they have, Pho Kauai is reasonably "authentic" (though even as a Vietnamese who grew up in Vietnam, I'm starting to get sick of that word), plenty flavorful, and very reasonably priced. My broth tasted good, certainly did not use those "seasoning cubes" (as the only pho place on a small island, no one should fault them for using those btw), and had the basic herbs available. When I came in the cashier guy was still preparing some additional herbs (basil etc) so depending on when you come, your experience may differ. My husband had a rice plate with pork chops. The pork chops were questionably seasoned (likely soy sauce vs the typical Viet fish sauce profile) but the meat tasted pretty good. No complaint there. Servers were friendly and efficient. Saw my son and offered him a high chair, something most restaurants (esp Asian) do not offer us right off the bat unless we ask. Would I come here if it was competing against the best pho places in Saigon? Probably not. But when I'm in Kauai? Will certainly come back. It hit the spot. ”
