Mama Pho - Honolulu

When my daughter is at Ala Moana and in the mood for Pho, she likes to go to Mama Pho. They are located on the top floor next to CPK and Tanaka of Tokyo. When I went there with her, I found their menu very limited, and none of the traditional Vietnamese dishes that I enjoy was on the menu. However, their vermicelli with spicy beef soup was tasty. I was very disappointed in their spring rolls, because they do not even give enough lettuce for each spring roll, no mint, no basil and their Nước chấm dipping sauce is watery. I prefer Pho Saigon a block away on Kapiolani Blvd.Overall: Food: Value: Menu: limited selectionsAmbiance: Service: Parking: RATINGS RECOMMENDED ORDER:Vermicelli with spicy beef soup BChicken Pho A (my daughter’s rating “good”)Spring rolls C little veggiesWebsite: [hidden link]: [hidden link]: MiltonIn808If you would like to see more restaurant reviews, ratings of each dish, my recommended order, and the complete video, follow me.RATINGS KEY:A Really Good one of the bestB Good would order againC ok similar, nothing special weD Not very good wouldn’t orderF Terrible avoid

Everything I tried I liked it.Spring roll, grilled pork sandwich. Grilled shrimp and tofu.

I got a Bánh mì to go. They put very little amount of veggies. Very disappointing.

Came here for lunch with a friend who was craving pho; the prices are a bit expensive but it's Ala Moana so you learn to expect that--I got a tofu banh mi and it was phenomenal!! The bread was toasted well on the outside while being soft and buttery on the inside. The flavors were wonderful and I genuinely think this is the best banh mi I have had on island. My friend also really enjoyed their beef pho :
