    I love pho. Correction- I'm addicted to pho. On a good week, I eat pho about 3 times a week. I eat so much pho, my boyfriend told me I have to go pho rehab lol Food: Pho soup is kinda bland, but tasty enough to enjoy. Summer rolls are not my favorite here. To me, it has a weird taste. I haven't ordered the springs rolls yet, but it looks pretty standard. -1 star Price: Pricey for a pho joint. Two medium phos cost me $19 and some change. My boyfriend wanted to get the seafood crispy noodles, but got turned off by the $17 price. -2 star Service: I've always experienced okay service. Not bad, but could be improved. Overall: This place is not my first choice, but I like how they are open really late! So, I will definitely return when I have late night cravings! +1 star

    Customer service sucks! The food is mediocre---the pho is alright; I have definitely tasted better ones. My boyfriend got the pork chops with shredded pork chops and he didn't really enjoy it. It was edible--the shredded pork chops had an extremely weird texture, which he just didn't even bother touching at all. The small pho bowl for $7.50 is REALLY small. Very expensive for a pho place, but I suppose it's understandable because it is located in town. I guess I would say 2.5. If you're craving pho and want good costumer service, this isn't the place to go. The food is okay, but the customer service is just ugh.

    Not the best pho on the island. But I do enjoy coming here as they are open late and have some of the items I like. The staff members are not that friendly nor efficient. Some tend to forget your order, or forget who you are, or get your order mixed with another group of people. It can be awkward at times. But the staff members who are efficient and don't mix up your order makes the atmosphere very pleasant. Located in an area that is easy to get to with a choice of other restaurants some not open as late as they are, you have a variety to choose from.

    So my friends tried to convince myself and another ramen champion that pho is better. That's not true but we went with them to one of their favorite pho spots, Pho 777. We stopped buy and ordered meatball and rare steak pho. the pho was good. the meat balls and steak were good but I wish they didn't put the steak in the broth so early because it was almost cooked medium by the time it hit the table. I thought the steak would be on the side like the menu picture but it didn't come like that. They did hook it up with the beansprouts which i find most places give one person or a party of four the same amount. That's not right. They did the sprouts for the party justice. The broth was good but I did doctor it up with hoisin and rooster sauce so that might have some effect :). Overall pretty decent. I would come back again. But the parking here sucks balls. Not the restaurants fault but something i do consider. But I'd come back. Its convenient and affordable too! And they got a Jabba the Hut sculpture. That wins hardcore!

    I was very upset with their service, I thought it was very impersonal and disrespectful! I also think that the restaurant is dirty and I do not feel comfortable coming back or recommending anyone else to come back! When I Told them I had a shrimp allergy they could of cared less!! Just bad service and bad people in this restaurant!

    Pho 777 is my go to place for pho whenever I am sick or just needing a pho fix. They are located at the Mcully shopping center above 711. Parking may sometimes be a bit challenging if you're going during rush hour. But there's always a fast turn around time with parking there or you can park in their parking garage. I always get the Oxtail Pho and or Meatball Pho in the small size and it's perfectly good and enough to fill my stomach. They come in Small/Medium/Large and I think extra large as well. Every time I've come here for dinner and lunch, it's always easy to get seated and the food comes out about 5-10 minutes after ordering. Should you have an iDcard in hand they will honor that Monday-Thursday 10% off your tab.

    It was my first time here and well it was really good. I have only recently started eating Vietnamese food and well this place was okay. I can't really say I know a lot about Vietnamese food but from what I had was pretty good. I love love spring rolls and well it was very yummy, love dipping them and stuffing them all down my throat. The service was okay, she wasn't "on it", but it was pretty busy. It was very loud and I couldn't really hear my hubby talking. It also made my son I bit irritated with the loud Vietnamese lady and guy singing off pitch. Overall it was good and I'm not sure if I'll be back.

    I went to pho 777 on MC cully shopping center . I order the beef stew , the beef smell very bad , I let the owner know , he ask me how come and I told him I don't know , he went in side the kitchen . 20 minute after he bring out for me new bowl of beef stew and he told me try it. I try eat the beef but it still smell stink as if the meat is expired and rotten , then I let him know but he never say sorry . He told me he didn't why because they just cook the beef stew this morning . Horrible customer service and disgusting food! I will never come back here again and I hope no one else will get sick from eating here

    I only eat here because they close later than other pho places. Came here last night with the bf, and I got my usual rare beef + meatball pho in small. My bf usually gets the combo in large, with a side order of 4 spring rolls. Overall, the food was alright. However, I found a bug swimming in the broth, so I picked it out of my bowl just to make sure and yup! I seen its wings. Bleh, didn't finish my bowl. Also, customer service also needs improvement. The waiters never checked up on us to see if we needed anything. I had to walk up to the counter to ask for spoons.

    A girl can only eat so much coco ichi curry. I forgot about the existence of this pho restaurant on the second floor of the mccully shopping center. Even though it's pretty average vietnamese food imho, I'm glad I tried it because I'll probably be back. I called in a take out order and was pleasantly surprised that the guy who answered the phone spoke perfect English (usually I have to repeat my order a few times when I get take out from anywhere). He was pleasant and to the point. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes too! I was also surprise by the size of the restaurant. It's relatively large and somewhat crowded. Good for them! I'm glad others remember that this places exists (or maybe it's the overflow from people tired of waiting for fook yuen).

    I don't like pho. It has nothing to do with this restaurant. I prefer vermicelli (rice noodle) with spring rolls or BBQ Chicken. Love it here. Servings are full, veggies are fresh. My favorite go-to Vietnamese restaurant. Crave the fish sauce every time! Flavors are spot on. Parking looks full out front, but there is underground parking off to the side (Taco Bell side of the building). Air-conditioned, plenty of seating (not tight like Hale Vietnam).

    this was my 1st time here & i was NOT satisfied! first off we get seated to our table which was not even clean. Our waiter brought us our food & did not come ONCE after that to check on us after tha few times he walked right past our table. Some of them barely understand when you're talking to them which just gets frustrating. & Lastly half way through eating my chicken pho, i pull out my chicken about to eat it & theres a hair attached to it. [It defenitely wasnt mine] Oh & to top it off they JUST gave me another pho (to replace the other one) but we got it to go & they didnt even give us the side veggies to go with it :( ughh defenitely not somewhere i'd eat again. UPDATE: i just opened up the noodles to see if it was cooled off enough & theres NO soup in the "pho" at all..just noodles,chicken,onion & green onion. I am ONE ANGRY customer"!!!! wish i could give this rating a no star rating

    Known for their late night pho place. We came here around 9pm ish. There wasn't a lot of people there. Service was sloooow. Flagging them down was not possible. We had to go to them to ask for a container and get the check. Food wasn't anything special. Pho soup was salty.

  • Pamela P.

    Horrible service. I came here twice and the man made my friends and I felt pressured to order. when I asked if we could start off with appetizers, he denied and said to order everything at once. Then he went ahead and decides to change up our orders not in a suggested manner but in a grouchy tone, rude attitude. In a rush and just plain rude! Never again. On top of that no one even came by to refill our drinks! Everytime I come here I get really bad service.

    This is our usual spot for whenever we're craving pho. My fiancé normally gets the combo that has all the different meats in there and I get their Kalbi plate with side sunny side eggs. Pho tastes pretty much like every pho out there. Honestly, I think it all depends on how the person flavors it from there when they add the plum sauce, hot sauce, and all that good stuff. Sometimes I'm a bit skeptical about whether they reuse their vegetables. But I see a lot of other pho restaurants do the same thing where they put it on a seperate tray and not dump it with the rest of the dirty plates. I just hope they don't because that would be nasty. Anyways, their Kalbi is always good and portions are good as well. My main complaint would be about my eggs. Now I know you probably think it's weird that I'm complaining over eggs but the past few times we came here my eggs were cooked well done after specifically asking for it to be over easy. Finally we decided to tell them sunny side up and that looked like over easy. I think their cook is confused. So if you're one of those people that love over easy eggs with their food, tell them sunny side up instead

    The spring rolls were fantastic. Basically a party in your mouth with the pork and the shrimp dipped into the peanut sauce. I had the lemon grass chicken for lunch. The sauce for the chicken was fantastic, and the quantity was perfect. My wife enjoyed the beef Pho as well as the spring rolls that were we shared. The reason for the three stars was because the restrooms were not the cleanest in the world and the service was not fast as it took a good 10 minutes for the server to ask what we wanted to drink. Other than that, the place was great.

    One word: DIRTY. Decided to come here because the usual place I go to for Vietnamese food was closed. When we entered the restaurant it was empty. Not a customer in sight. I think I now understand why. We sat down at a table and had our order taken. When someone in the back brought our pho, his hands were FILTHY! I don't know who he was, if he was the cook or someone just hanging out in the back, or a waiter. But if you're going to serve food, you have to be clean. It is for sanitary reasons buddy. Totally made all the food unappealing. The pho broth was meh. The one thing that wasn't enjoyable at all was the meat they put in the pho. It did not taste good at all and made us question the freshness. I also noticed while we were sitting in the restaurant that people were coming in and out of the back or kitchen. It was really odd to me.

    We've been here a few times, kinda on the fence about it, but hoping this would be one of our "go to" pho noodle shops. however, the food is okay, nothing special. The incident that killed it for us was the last time we were there, one of the waitresses (I presume a co-owner) accused us of not paying as we were walking out the door. She yelled, "hey! You pay?!" the entire restaurant turned to look at us. Another lady on the other side of the room heard and waved to her that we had. Well, lady, that was poor customer interaction. My husband is straight-laced and was offended by her street-like manner so we will never return. Pho 777, you have pissed off my husband and he was the one that usually requested your food.

    They do a veg pho and Didn't put up a about "doesn't taste good without fish sauce". Very good customer service and have a decent selection and variety of veg friendly menu items clearly marked. Good sized portions for veg diet

    Me and my comrade came here on a blissful week of March of the 24th and my oh my had I never had a better server than Matthew. My tastebuds are enlightened by this majestic restaurant. Let's just say that if I were to chose between shaving my eyebrows off and eating here I would order the large #14. My comrade said he wants to marry Matthew. My oh my right glorious of May of jelly wankins I am so grateful to be alive. Thank u Matt u r the best FMD 808

    Not only were portions small and items like mint and lettuce not very fresh, but there was a large piece of PLASTIC WRAP in the pho broth. I went on yelp while at the table and saw that someone had the same thing happen YESTERDAY in another dish (and another a few months ago). Not coming back. No wonder we only got "so sorry" it's a common thing...

    WORST pho restaurant/ take out ever. After reading all the reviews, especially the recent ones, i hesitated to cancel my take out order, but figured to chance it, since it could probably be out of 100 there was a bad review. Even seeing roaches in other peoples food, i cringed thinking the broth was probably cooking with roaches... But still because it was close to my home, and ALOHA PHO doesnt open till NOON... (I always eat there), i gave it a chance... Summer rolls: Wrapper was so sticky, that when i pulled apart the rolls, it made each others wrapper break since it was pulling from each other. That i could deal with, but the SAUCE was horrible.. It did not taste like that creamy peanut sauce.... But more of a tangy, little sour gooey texture taste.. At first i thought my shrimp or meat in there was spoiled. Spring Rolls: Mint in there and Lettuce was brown and welting.. I guess not so bad.... Other than that, spring roll was decent. Not bad. Pho: Some of the noodles were undercooked. (saw that complaint on anothet yelper's review) Broth was alright, nothing to jump up and down for. Most disappointing was the peanut sauce.. I usually scrap it all out till theres nothing left, but i barely touched this one. I need to eat at Summer Rolls again to salvaged my cravings.

    I would give this place a NEGATIVE star if I could! I don't know why I come here because Every time I come here, the service is terrible and we always have to wait an unacceptable amount of time for our food. Plus on top of that, I JUST FOUND A COCKROACH in my chicken pho! (I posted a picture of it) This will be the LAST time I will ever be eating here and I highly suggest you choose wisely before eating here.

  • Myong C.

    Have now been here 2 times and safe to say I'm in no hurry to go back. First time there, had the crab tomato soup and it was just wrong. Second time there, had the pho with brisket and tendon (my go-to pho order) and some spring rolls. The broth here is lighter than most places which some may prefer but I found to be a bit bland. They do give a lot of meat in the pho, almost too much, but the quality of teh brisket wasn't that great. The tendons were fine but I wish there were more of it. The spring rolls were possibly the densest I've ever had. They certainly packed a lot of stuffing into that thing, but not in a good way. It made the whole thing tougher to eat and not as tasty. Service was okay but don't expect to get any help out of the males who work there. I think they only understand Vietnamese and I couldn't even get a simple spoon from one of them. The portions here are huge though so if that's your thing, go ahead and try it.

    Been here twice so far, and I have to say that Pho 777 is probably the BEST pho I ever ate. The first time I went, I could taste the difference with the broth between some of the other pho places. The second time, still very yummy, BUT my cousin found a piece of plastic in his spring roll. They apologized and made up for it. But just need to be careful. Also keep in mind that parking is a bit crowded.

  • Rachel J.

    I am crazy about Pho ever since i went to California. My cousin suggested this place to me and the food wasnt to die for. The environment wasnt bad but i was not impressed by the food. For me the pho soup tasted a bit too citric but to each their own. I went back for a second time but it was the same and i wont be going back for pho at least but maybe i will try a vitmanese sandwich instead.

    I'm glad I avoided this place till now, and SERIOUSLY question the service and sanitation ethics there. Last Sunday night, my other half and I joined sis and her husband for a late night bite, around 23:00. They'd been here before, and mentioned the service was somewhat wanting, but the food was pretty good. Ok, so "typical Asian restaurant" kind of service, I thought. Yeah, it was about there, but went down the tubes very fast... We ordered appetizer summer rolls, three bowls of pho, and a vermicelli bowl. 1.) So, the three pho came out, and the waiter had them jumbled up, calling one type another. Never mind, we sorted it out. Soup was rather bland, nondescript, muddled flavor. Humph. Not wowed at all. 2.) My brother in law's vermicelli and spring rolls came out almost 10 minutes after the pho! And the waiter/food runner did not give him the extra sauce on the tray, once he saw there was a sauce on the table already. Just dropped off the food and abruptly zoomed off with the sauce on the tray. 3.) Finally got runner to stop by and get the extra sauce. Seems runner and waiters do not communicate... where are the summer rolls??? Sis says last time, one of her items came at the end of her meal. WTH? SMH... 4.) WTF?!! There is a wooden TOOTHPICK in my noodles! Seriously grossed out, as there are no toothpicks offered at front of house.... Flagged down food runner, made him aware of issue, said he'd inform manager. 5.) After several minutes of waiting, the food runner said manager busy cannot come to table, but he's over by counter if want to see him. OMG?!? When does a manager NOT directly address this kind of issue immediately!? Furious, I leave the table to go and give him (while trying not to make a scene) a piece of my mind. Beyond the bad customer service, what kind of health and sanitation issues do you think this issue poses? I ask him, to an incomprehensible "um, ehh... Well,..." kind of response and a weak offer to exchange my order for a new item. NO. THANK YOU, BUT NO. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER BOWL OF PHO OR OTHER ITEM, I NEED IT REMOVED FROM THE TAB. I was so put out, I didn't even think to inquire about my summer rolls. 6.) Returning to table, I learn my other half's soup spoon was crudded with dried/old rice and whatnot. BIG gross out, letter to Department of Health and Sanitation is now in the mail. Brother in law went to pay for the balance of the meal, and questioned that the summer rolls were still on the tab. We hadn't received them at the table. "Oh, sorry, we'll take that off." Lame! 7.) Enough of this, we left. The FOOD RUNNER comes to the door and offers us apologies for the bad experience. Where the hell was the waiter/manager??? Not to be found... So in summary: Lame food, bad customer service, slow food delivery, questionable sanitation. Do I REALLY have to give it a star? :(

    They're open late and the spring rolls are awesome. Probably the only two good things there. Service is always slow, if you make a phone order, they are most likely to forget about it... Pho is mediocre, there's much better places out now. I feel like there's tons (and tons) of MSG in that thing. they also fail in cleanliness.

    considering the location, this is a good spot to stop if you have to stay near waix. but if you can, head down to Chinatown for pho. chicken pho is yummy and good size for price. good service and there are always Korean music videos playing.

  • Holly B.

    Enjoyed the sample of spring rolls at Yelp's Girls Night Out at McCully Shopping Center, so I'm back to have dinner with a friend! The spring rolls are light, not oily, and stuffed full of yummy ingredients to make you smile! Of course you need the fresh leaf lettuce, mint, and rice noodles to wrap it up and dip into the sauce! ONO! Also tried their bbq chicken sandwich because I wasn't too hungry (having eaten too much soft serve ice cream at lunchtime!). The baguette was crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and the chicken was flavorful along with the pickled vegetables; just include some hot chili sauce and YUM! A delightful experience and attentive service. We'll be back for sure!

  • Raych D.

    Located upstairs in the Mcully shopping center. Opens late for cheap okay tasting pho. Came here a little before 10pm the other night and shared a large pho with the beef slices on the side. I've recently only started liking pho as far as the broth goes with tons of lemon. But Pho 777 only carries lime! No complaining since our pho was only $9 and they do take the ID card. I like the fact that they have an option of having pho with just the broth and meat/shrimp balls

    I used to love coming here but tonight my server was not on point. Forgetting to fill our water cups, he asked if we wanted a pitcher we said it was fine but then he gave us a pitcher of warm water. Waiter kept explaining himself for some reason, uhmmm idc.

  • Reymalyne H.

    Restaurant was very spacious very good for groups and even people with kids using strollers can manuveer in the restaurant without banging into someone's chair. Customer service is a little slow even when it wasn't that busy. We ordered the #17, the pho with oxtail, and house special fried rice. The broth in pho was good. Not to greasy and full of flavor. The meat portion was good also. The noodles were slightly overcooked for my liking. But overall the pho was tasty and portioned well. My daughter's fried rice was alright. I can't really rave on something like fried rice. But I wish they had a smaller portion of fried rice for kids.

    (3)

  • Cj Z.

    Ugh...the pho is very mediocre. The broth is plain salty without any taste of beef soup. I would not choose to return agin. Fyi, medium pho is $9. Last time I came here was over one year ago. This place used to be so much better in terms of food.

    (2)

  • Traci H.

    It could probably be 3 stars but I had to ding it for being so expensive. Also, I will say that they are open late, so if you're looking for late night food, that may be why you'll give it a lot more stars. But I'm old and boring so I treated it as a normal dinner place and so it was meh...If I needed a late night food option, maybe I'd have rated it higher too but alas, I am just normal. Crispy spring rolls were pretty tasty. Comes with 6. I forget how much it is. Crispy and tasty and has good flavor. That's where the word "tasty" went into hiding. Chicken pho. Beware, you can order chicken pho with BEEF BROTH in 3 sizes ($7.75/$8.25/$8.75), or you can order chicken pho with CHICKEN BROTH (hidden in the menu as #42) in only 1 big size ($9.25). I really just wanted a small chicken pho with chicken broth but oh well. That didn't happen. The portion is big enough but it was just ok. The soup is not the crisp and clean flavor and tastes really salty. The hot sauce tastes like it has lemongrass in it, which most people will like, but it had a little too much for me. The crab soup was sort of meh as well.Didn't have the fresh taste like Pho Thinh. The shredded pork looked sort of like jellyfish and daikon combined, but that the pork was missing. I wanted to order a Vietnamese iced coffee but at $4.25 I figured it couldn't possibly be worth it. There is a really big menu. Both physically and figuratively. So there are a lot of choice if that's what you're looking for. Maybe I just ordered all the wrong food. Service wasn't too friendly. Well one guy was friendly and everyone else wasn't. At least there's free parking in McCully shopping center, if you can find space.

    BUGS IN PHO, and veges.... nuff said. DIRTY place with a rude owner. Be sure not to complain about it because they'll be upset with you. Yes, it's not their fault, they still expect to be paid.

    Place is nice and roomy but employees are junk. Rude and disrespectful , "what you want" is not how you service customer . Not worth it. The food we order wasn't good, Broth was warm not hot so when you put the vegies in the soup got cold quick. These guys dont deserve a star. Honey pot is better try them first .

    The Pho here is good but it doesn't look like the cleanest environment. Service is okay at best but the pricing is okay. Park in the downstairs parking area if it's a busy night.

  • Linh L.

    Was craving for bun Bo hue (spicy beef noodle with thick vermicelli ) so I ate here since its close. I don't eat beef or blood block so they were nice enough to add more pork slices and fish cake. It was tasty. Run around 8-9 bucks. I also think their rice and pork chop is pretty good. It's clean. I also like it that they open really early since I wake up early. But the food does take a pretty long time since there's only one worker in the morning. How it is in the afternoon then I really don't know.

  • Heather P.

    we had a great lunch here! on an hour break from a long, dry training, we needed good hearty food to get us through the afternoon. the service was impeccable (she even offered to move us from one table as the TV was on and loud), our water was always full, and she didn't even get angry at me when I spilled sauce all over the table. (low blood sugar, I swear!) the vegetarian spring rolls were stuffed full and delicious! I loved the rare beef/flank pho I chose. so ono!! I cannot wait to go back.

  • Chaz L.

    The only thing that's good about this place is that they're open later than most pho places in Hawaii. Other than that, it's very dirty and the service isn't that great. The last time I came here for late night pho, I had seen a cockroach crawling across the ground. After squashing it, I covered it with a napkin and told the server who then picked it up and threw it in a finished bowl of pho. Needless to say, we left and never went back.

  • James M.

    Terrible service. Didn't get water till our food came. Ordered a soda, didn't even receive it. The guy who took our order never checked on us, aside from throwing the menu down on the table. Try changing professions if you're that unhappy with your job. Rice noodles in vermicelli was so soggy. The hours is the only great thing there. I wish Pho bistro down the road opened that late.

  • Holanbay L.

    Never understand why some would rate pho based on the restaurants' service, or salad or vegan pho. Duh...I heard many praised for this place; since I'm a hardcore pho fan, I decided to give it a try. Nah... the spring rolls r OK, the pho... flavorless. Only thing good is the hot sauce,, which they infused with lemongrass, NICE touch. Wish many other pho places could have that. Again, this pho is junk.

  • Garrett S.

    Chili oil here is the best with your pho or spicy beef. Service is great and they know their loyal customers and just what they want and how. I walk in and they automatically know what I want and work on it right away.

  • K M.

    I've been here twice. Food is alright, but there are many other Vietnamese restaurant options. Customer service was horrible both times! The first time was a few months ago when I went to dine in with a friend between lunch and dinner time. There were only two other tables in the restaurant, but we were ignored for a good fifteen minutes after being seating. There was no apology. They did nothing to make the experience enjoyable. Today I ordered take out. If I pay $12 for a plate, I probably want to eat it. No utensils. Of course not. Why WOULD they give utensils with a take out order? Oh, and not even one napkin. So now I get to wait two hours to eat some cold food at home. Pretty over this place.

    Hair, Bugs, Long Waits and Out of order Service. In the past three times I have come to Pho 77, my rank for this place just seems to lower and lower. It's not that their food is bad, or they are bad to me, but from just being an observant customer, I notice a lot of things. THINGS IN THERE FOOD. The first time I came here with my mom, sister and my sister's boyfriend we were all starving, we were served quickly and got our pho. My sister's boyfriend found a bug in his soup. IT WAS A ROACH. He was furious and they replaced it quickly. I looked around in mine and found s very small fruit fly. I just scooped it out because I understand that they are harmless and that it would take forever for them to wash every single basil leaf thoroughly. I mean even under a quick rinse the fly could have been holding on with all its strength. I let that go. So with his new bowl, he finds strands of long hair. That is inexcusable. I felt bad for him and he looked pissed. From then on, we ate our pho slowly checking everything that went in our mouth. WAITING FOR DAYYYS. The service here is pretty bad. They have a pretty big place compared to some pho places, but I think they need to know there limit. I feel like they always take in more customers than they could handle and just run around trying to please whoever they want when they want too. For example, my friends I and I were seated (party of 3), then a family of 8 was seated, and then a Vietnamese couple was seated last. Obviously the couple got their water and food before us or the family. The family sitting had to wave down the waiter just to get water after the Viet couple already began eating. By the time we got our food, the mother of the family waved down the guy to say they were ready to order. I could tell they were mad because they were waiting over 25 minutes before they got to order their pho. With only two workers that night trying to serve 20 tables, I give them no pity. They could have been honest and told people at the door to wait. Honesty isn't bad. I would rather be told, "Sorry we are busy, please wait 20-30 minutes," instead of being sat and getting all pissed as I waited for some attention. Luckily their pho and vermicelli bowls are amazing. Wells I love the pounded shrimp and pork vermicelli the best. It is full of noodles and veggies with lots of taste. If it weren't for their food, I would probably give them a 1. They really just need to work on running their restaurant effectively. Probably if they weren't always rushing, no unexpected things would end up in their food.

    if i could this would be below one star. I'll get to why...I think normally I'd give this restaurant 3-4 stars. The pho was decent/average, the service was good and the food came quickly. All great things, except for the rat/big mouse my girlfriend saw run into the kitchen.

    Decent pho. I love how they have sizes small medium and large. The price range was a lot pricer than where I go for pho but it was pretty good. I also ordered the green papaya salad but I didn't really like the taste of it. It had a bitter spicy taste and they used almost ripe papayas so it was soft not crunchy. The only thing I would recommend here is the pho or rice plates. It's only great if you're in the area & desperate.

    2.5....can't give it 3. I love pho and this place just didn't really impress me. First of all, service was lacking. 4 coffees were ordered first, and forgotten. We asked for refills on our waters multiple times, and to two different people. My friend literally went up to their bar area to ask (again) that they just give us a pitcher since no one was coming by anyway. Their spring rolls weren't memorable, neither was the broth. And the meat was too dense/thick....personal preference but I prefer the Shabu-thin slices. I didn't try a bite of the bahn mi's that we ordered but all I saw were sparse slices of meat and a sad offering of veggies thrown messily into hard looking rolls. Maybe I have to come on another day, and try it out again. But to-date the best thing from there in my opinion is their iced coffee (that we finally got when we were nearly done with our meals).

    I must say, I extremely dislike this place. As mentioned, it's dirty, service isn't that great, and the pho is mediocre. It's a bowl of msg with really tough meat. BUT! The shining star of this place is the house special banh mi. Have you guys ever had it because I hate banh mi and I took a bite of my boyfriend's one the other night when I was craving pho pass usual store hours. It is absolutely delicious!!! I think I hated it before because I had the ones only from Ba-Le. The one here is well-balanced and the meat is yummy. Absolutely perfect and amazing. Served warm with a nicely toasted french bread, NOT stale! Definite must have if you're forced to come here one night!

    After sitting down, I realized that there were a lot of negative reviews for this place so I started to pay attention more to their cleanliness and service. Turns out, everything was clean enough for me and they did check up on us at least once. Food didn't take that long either. The beef pho, spring rolls, and cold noodles with chicken were pretty good. I just think that for a place located in this busy shopping center, they should act a little more friendly. There are pho restaurants just about everywhere on this island so why not make the extra effort to make yourselves stand out in a positive way?

  • Sierra C.

    If you are easily disgusted or irritated, do yourself a favor - Don't try Pho 777 FOOD The pricing is average for a Pho restaurant, around $9 for a medium bowl. But what's really disappointing is the meat, which often has an odd taste to it and is tough. The broth is...satisfactory. SERVICE OKAY. The service at Pho 777 is lacking! On multiple occasions, my server had dirty hands that touched my water cups and even the inner rim of my pho bowl. Secondly, I never wait any less than 20 minutes for a water refill, IF I get one. OVERALL No. If you're looking for pho late at night or don't want to drive far, then sure, it'll do. But Pho 777 definitely isn't my first choice.

    After what felt like forever at the yardhouse waiting on a table we decided to leave waikiki and venture around honolulu. My husband and I were actually looking for a Japanese udon restaurant which was located in the same building as pho 777. The udon place happened to be close. We were extremely hungry so we decided to eat here again. We came here a couple months ago and remembered that the food was pretty good. It was on a Saturday night and the place was not packed at all. There were maybe 3 tables used. As soon as we got a table a young waiter have us our menu. He then proceeded to give us our water and asked us what we wanted to order. I ordered the finest rice house special combination and my husband ordered a beef/flank/meatball large pho. For our appetizers we ordered the spring rolls that had all the good veggies and the fish sauce. Our egg rolls came before our order which was nice. I hate when it comes all at once. Not too long after eating one egg roll my order came up. In my combination dinner was rice, shredded chicken, a fried pork chop, a sunny side up egg and a fried pork chop. It looked better on the menu that it really tasted. My husbands pho order was amazing. They have different sizes of pho bowls. He ordered the large which was perfect for us to share considering I had my own food. I also ordered a Thai tea which was delish. But who could go wrong with Thai tea right. Also I went to the ladies room before I ate and it was out of toilet seat covers which I was kind of upset about. The restaurant is decent looking. It had a flat screen tv which was playing some kind of asian show. The reason why I rated this place a 2 is because no one really attended to us. None of the waiters asked us how we liked our food and if we needed anything else. Call me high maintenance but I love it when they check to see how people are doing. In this case they didn't. We also wanted an extra bowl and a spoon. It took my husband forever to flag one of them down. Next time I come back I'll just my own bowl of pho.

    Walking from Embassy Suites all the way to this restaurant in the hot weather was eh, but I ordered the Bun Rieu w/ pig's blood and it was alright. Looked like the broth had a lot of red dye, since the noodles were pink, tofu was pink, and also the pork patty.

  • Satoshi K.

    Yes!!! This is good. Good broth. Good vermicelli noodles. Good service. And cheap. Enjoy. U won't go wrong here. A lot of other pho places and Vietnamese place overpriced nearby. Just go here. It's not pretty but the food is good.

    Beware this place charge your credit card more than what you write in your receipt. Me and hubby went to this place june 13, 2014. The bill came out to $37.00 and i think $5 tip is reasonable, actually i feel generous despite of the bad service that we got. 1st they dont refill your water if you dont ask them, 2nd we feel rush 3rd my mom is still eating (she's a slow eater because she have full denture) and the bus boy keep grabbing plates that making her feel rush and cant enjoy her dinner (like can u just let her finished?) anyways for some reason i kept the receipt and while doing our checking acct online i notice that my math is Off, so i pulled out receipts and check where The error is coming from and notice that this place over charge extra $3.00 and not telling us? It's just dirty. So if your going to eat at this place make sure u keep the receipt so just incase you get a surprise later on.

    The worst service I've ever experienced in a restaurant. The food came out quickly & was decent but we had to get up & go hunt someone down just to get spoons. The waiter ignored us most of the time & when we were ready to pay no one wanted to help us. We stood at the counter trying to get someone to help us but the waiter just looked at us & continued doing what he was doing without so much as a word. Finally someone rang us up. Yes they're open late & the location is convenient but save yourself the frustration & go somewhere else for pho. The food was not worth the experience. I'd give them zero stars if I could. They need to hire people who seem to give a damn about their job not act like they hate the world.

    First of all We weren't greeted, we had to seat ourselves. Our server was cool, he gave us time to order, drinks and food came out quick. The pho killed our appetite. Halfway through the bowl of pho there appeared to be cockroach body parts in the soup

  • Stefanie D.

    Delicious!! Always hot, always big servings. Plus they have a bar and they're open pretty late. Only downside is that the dining room is pretty chilly! Gotta eat a lot of pho to warm up!!! ....hey, maybe they do that on purpose...O_o

  • Christina T.

    Pho is pretty good, especially because this place is open so late and as far as I know, the only pho restaurant open past 9pm which is obviously nice for late night cravings. My experiences; -an extremely long period of time between ordering food and receiving food -terrible service -waited 45 minutes for chicken pho while all 6 of my friends were served their food 15 minutes before. Had to walk to the kitchen (not enough servers) and asked what the heck was up because it was ridiculous to wait that long for pho. I was then told "they were out of chicken"???! (Took them literally 45 minutes to realize their kitchen had no chicken) I laughed, and cancelled my order. I wonder how long I would have sat there waiting if I didnt get up and ask them myself. Never been back since!

    Been here twice late at night. That's the main thing Pho 777 has going for it-the late hours they are open. Ordered pho & spring rolls both times. The first time was all right. Didn't blow my mind but was decent. The 2nd time, the spring rolls were mushy inside, like it wasn't properly cooked or was old. And the vegetables we got for the pho were rotten, literally with rot spots all over the basil, mint, and other greens. Asked for a replacement plate of greens and received veggies in even worse condition. If they serve the fresh veggies looking like that, what does the stuff that they cook look like? Not worth risking my health. Posted the pics showing the veggies.

    This used to be our default spot because of proximity to home. Never exceptional, but easy and open late. Now that we've moved, so has our new regular spot. The other night it was randomly closed, so we again defaulted to Pho 777. Big mistake. We were the only customers when we walked in. Ordered a small pho, spicy lemongrass beef, and spring rolls. In the time it took my beau to finish his dinner the server didn't come back once, not even to notice that my pho was missing. It was only when I asked for the check that said "oh, don't you want your pho.. its coming". Mind you, in this time 4 tables had come in, eaten their steamy bowl of medicore noodles, and had either left or were leaving. NOW my noodles are coming? No, thanks. The server was quick to blame it on the kitchen for forgetting, putting an even stronger distaste in my mouth. Own up to your own err's, homie. Good news is, I'm officially done with this place. No more wasting time, money, calories on this subpar establisment.

    Give them another shot. This time I am even more disappointed. The service is horrible, the food is old, I couldn't finish my dish, I went home, threw up and got sick. And if you scare of Gecko, you don't come here because they might crawl on you from underneath the table. We didn't want to make a scene, so we just paid and definitely Will never go back again

    I wanted to try this place out and luckily my brother was craving pho. We came here after our hike at Manoa Falls. Parking took a while. Our parents didn't want to eat pho so they chose the Chinese Restaurant. Once inside workers pointed to a table for my brother and I to sit at. The place wasn't as packed as I would've imagined, but it was New Year's Eve. I liked their menu. I almost tried their sandwich that I would usually order if I was at a Ba-Le restaurant but ordered pho instead. They actually had a SMALL bowl! But I ordered a medium since I wasn't sure how hungry I was. Our food arrived on a timely manner and we started digging in. When you're hungry you eat it while it's hot. Burnt my tongue, that's okay. I liked their broth. I had to add a lot of plum sauce cause it was ordinary without it. For some reason I thought it was Sunday so when I realized it was Monday I pulled out my iDcard, discount! Something better than nothing. The interior was clean though our table rocked whenever my brother lifted his weight off the glass. I'll probably come back for that sandwich.

    Ordered Vegetarian Spring rolls but was not impressed. We ordered some lemonades but did not come out until we were almost done with our meal. Got to order some deserts to go and they were good. Over all, the food was alright. Great hours if you are looking for a place to hangout & eat late night.

    Not the worst place, but not the best place either THE GOOD * late hours * price is affordable * ample seating * private parking lot * convenient location (mccully shopping center) THE BAD * service * when busy, they can't handle all the customers -- pho comes out but the vegetables that supposed to come with it comes like 10 minutes later... my pho is cold by then! * water with little ice THE WEIRD * I think all the workers are working, but they do not have specific jobs... or maybe they do, but they aren't so great at it. oiiiyoooo!

    This is a very convenient location when I just finish school or work and need a pho fix. Very nice sized restaurant but the only thing that stops me from giving 4 stars is that they never seem to have enough employees. Arriving for dinner one night, we had to wait quite some time to be seated because the two employees were tending to their other tables. After being seated, we had to wait another 15 minutes just to get someone to take our order, another 15min to get my iced coffee but only 5min after getting our food did we get our check. It IS good and the price was decent. but service could be strongly improved. 31 Yelps Review Challenge: #13/31

    If you want a good Pho place, this is not the one! Their broth is salty, the noodle is not cooked sometimes and also the meat. I only come to eat pho here only when it was late and no where else open. However, they have some significant dishes that you should try out: Bun Mang Vit (Vermicelli in Hot Steam Broth with duck meat): this noodle soup is delicious, it has bamboo root in the soup and a side dish of duck meat, dipped with ginger mixed sauce. Chao (Porridge): The porridge is thin enough because i don't like it thick. And I usually order with chicken. It is a great dish when having sickness. Those are dishes that only impressed me.

    I used to go here at least once a week. Then one day I found a roach in my spicy beef soup. When I told the waiter that there was a roach in my soup, he didn't apologize about it, but he offered to get me a new one. Of course I couldn't eat the new one because the thought of another roach being in my soup just grossed me out. I haven't been back since.

    The service is quick, and the place is clean. The Thai tea is SOOOO yummy! Not too sweet, and you can see the layers when it's brought to the table. They have a really impressive selection on the menu; vermicelli and pho and salads and satays, yum! The staff is courteous and the food was so yummy! The restaurant is chilly, but how else can you eat pho in Hawaii? I'm always cold though, so I bring a sweater until I have my soup!

  • Jared W.

    Man this place is GREAT! So....... ....My friend and I were walking around McCully shopping center to figure out where to eat so we decided pho sounds like a great choice. We entered Pho 777 right before 9 pm and there were plenty of seats. There were fast to sit us down and serve us waters. The waiter came back after 8 or so minutes to get our order. This was great because it gave me enough time to look at the menu, being it was my first time here. The actual place seems to be clean enough. The menu was pretty extensive with many choices for the types of pho, vermicelli in steamed broth or cold, wonton noodle dishes and rice plates. Here is a photo of a few items on the menu: yelp.com/user_local_phot… Here is a picture of the sauces and condiments on every table: yelp.com/user_local_phot… Alright let me talk about the FOOD! * Pho w/ special meat combo $8.50. Slices of rare steak, beef balls, well done beef brisket ,well done flank, tendon , and tripe. Here is a photo: yelp.com/user_local_phot… The broth was meaty and delicious. I put some Sriracha sauce to add some hotness. The tripe tasted pretty plain yelp.com/user_local_phot… but the noodles were great. The long meats and fatty meats was tasty. The beef balls was full of flavor! You bite it and it explodes in your mouth. OK that just sounds wrong. ~Any pho you order comes with bean sprouts basil leaves jalapeño slices and a lime or lemon. Photo: yelp.com/user_local_phot… * Spring rolls- Comes with 6 spring rolls and lettuce to wrap it in. Photos: yelp.com/user_local_phot… and yelp.com/user_local_phot… This was really good. The sauce was sweet yelp.com/user_local_phot… . I will definitely order this again. Beef vermilion plate- Photo: yelp.com/user_local_phot… This wasn't too bad. I like the different textures. You can also taste meat but it was a light dish. * Lemon grass chicken- Photo: yelp.com/user_local_phot… This was another amazing thing to order. It had a light curry taste that was a little spicy but really flavorful. Overall this place was a shocker! Meaning... that everything taste really good and it wasn't packed. Service was pretty good and they filled up my water multiple times. I will be going back!

    I've tried this place twice. I had the large rare steak pho first and then the large Oxtail pho. The both dishes were good but the only small gripes I had were the rice noodles seemed a little thick, they were stingy when I asked for extra lemon, the xtail was flavorless, and though the service was friendly it was slow. We waited 15 minutes before they even came and asked what we wanted to order. Other than those small complaints Pho 777 was a great restaurant.

    Place was dirty even after the server had wipe down our tables, we had to use our daughters baby wipes to completely clean the table. The server with the Mohawk wasn't nice at all, I had ordered bbq chicken vermicelli with a side of summer rolls. Mid way eating through dinner we come to find out that he forgot about my summer rolls after asking the front cashier about it. The food is great which is the only reason why I keep coming back but everything else about this place sucks.

    Since when was instant pho consider a 10 buck bowl of pho? The broth was horrendous. Seriously I'm pretty sure the took instant pho to make my bowl of chicken pho. Chicken pho broth is suppose to be light color mine was a dark must brown. Nasty pho and will never come back! Don't come here!!

    I am truly disappointed with Pho 777. As I've mentioned earlier, their customer service is absolutely terrible! Last night, my boyfriend and I came here with our friends and their son, who is about 3 years old. We waited about 15 minutes before we could order, when he wanted to collect our menus, he said "Can you give me the menus?" in a rude tone of voice. Okay, not a big deal, he doesn't speak much English so I'll let this one slide. Then he said, "Make sure you watch the boy so he doesn't drop or throw anything." ...........Really?!?! And when we got our order he says, "Make sure you keep the boy away from the Pho, it's hot." I'm sorry, but is our waiter our mother? My friend, the mother of the kid, was extremely irritated... as well the rest of our table. For my experience here at night, I think they deserve one star. However, for my daytime lunch experiences, I give them a 5 for service, but a 3 for food. But since I come here more at night, I'll have to lean towards giving fewer stars. Pho 777 is lucky to have such a nice lady working in the daytime, otherwise, they would be given one star. Not too sure if I would come again at night. I'm tired of the bad customer service here.

    Never coming here again. Only good thing about this place is the late hours. So the server comes by to drop off our spring rolls we ordered while we are eating our pho. Half way to our table, he drops a spring roll on the ground & looks around. He sees that we witness him drop the roll and takes the plate back. Not even 30 seconds later he brings the plate back and it was clearly the same spring roll he dropped on the ground. The spring roll was flaked off and you could clearly see where it was cracked from the drop. He leaves the table with a smug look and smiles at his other young co worker who knew what was happening. He then stands behind the cashier watching me and my girlfriend examine the roll with disgust. He knew it was obvious that we knew, then quickly comes back and says sorry he will make a new plate for us with his broken english. He couldnt even look at our faces from the shame. How pathetic and disgusting. He was lucky I didnt f**k his fob ass up in the resturaunt. Even with this horrible experience, we left a a gracious tip.

    The place was packed around 1930/7:30 PM. Seating happened quickly after a vacant booth opened up. The water came pretty quick too! After that everything slowed down. Went through the menu, already knew what was wanted initially but went through it again then waited, and waited. A possible 10 minutes. Finally the order was taken and the wait continued. All that was order was 14 and 32... a small Pho and a BBQ Pork plate. The food was decent, nothing extraordinary but that's definitely better than not meeting expectations. The bathroom though had no soap or paper towels. After the meal and a couple water refills, another wait. However, this wait had been cut short. Decided to go to the register instead of waiting for the check.

  • Kelly G.

    $10 for the small pho feels like SUCH a rip off. It was a decent sized bowl, perfect for my lacking appetite, yet if I were to come back hungry, I would probably leave hungry! Everything tasted fine. At the end of the night though, my broth had separated like miso soup. Is that supposed to happen? They also only gave us ONE plate of pho sides for a table of 8! I can understand one plate for maybe every 2-3 people, but to just share one was a bit ridiculous! Had to ask for more, which they gave, but also seemingly reluctantly. The spring rolls are alright. I personally don't like raw bean sprouts in my rolls, but thats a personal preference. If you do, the rolls also include both pork AND shrimp. Dipped in their peanut sauce, it was decent. Had other trouble with their service. Friends who ordered the French coffee drip barely got any water! When we tried to explain that there was no more water, the waiter tell us to wait for the water to drip down. Scuz you, but there isn't any water to drip down! Finally had to flag the other waiter down who said it was made incorrectly. They also don't keep their utensils filled. We had to ask for more soup spoons and sauce dishes. Parking can be a bitch, but just remember theres a lower parking lot on side of the shopping center OPPOSITE and AWAY from Kalakaua. The only nice thing I would point out is that they are open until 2am. And that their spicy beef broth soup was pretty good.

    I ordered a papaya salad and when I was about to take my 2nd bite there was a bug so I let the server know and she apologized and brought a new one. I was enjoying the second salad when I was almost to the end of the salad there was another bug! At this point I felt sick to my stomach and wanted to throw up. I let our server know and she just took it away and gave us the bill which had my salad on it. Needless to say I won't ever be going back there again. Two out of two times to have a bug in my salad is more than enough for me.

    If you are coming here, its not for the service. Let's stay with what is ok. *the pho is average *the soup is not very oily *they are open late *lots of room to sit The reason I'm not the biggest fan.. *They forget about you *no water refills * the tables are sticky and seats aren't wiped down. Like I said, if you are in need of a late night pho fix. This is the only option. I will always go, and always try and keep giving it a shot. We will see....

    This would make my fifth time coming here . Place/establishment: clean and the whole place filled with pho broth smell. Makes it feel your in Vietnam. Great spaces room but plenty of tables and chairs . Never need to wait in long lines. Once you enter someone will ask how many people will be eating. Local family owned. Great atmosphere. Food : wide selection of all types of unique food, if your not a big fan of pho there are dishes including rice, chicken, meat, etc. Also have different types of drinks like Thai tea, coffee, and much more . If you don't want certain things in your dish, they allow replacements, or remove that product from the dish. The broth in the pho is very DELICIOUS !!, you can tell they spent hours cooking that broth, no oils floating nor is the taste overwhelming. Fills you right up. On the side of each tables their is a selection of different Sauces, where you can mix and match dips for all the dishes. Napkins, spoons, chop sticks are right there stacked up, so it's easy to access instead of making the waiter bringing it to each table. Service: they brought us right to our table and immediately served us water and order our foods. However there was a lack of staff and our water wasn't refilled until we told them to, other than that the food was great !! Tips: they give discounts if you show then your ID card which I believe it's 10% off. Favorites : I usually get the regular pho with rare streak in either a small or medium and summer roll . LOVE it .

    I WILL NEVER RETURN EVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN. Like my best friend Jordan, just reviewed: The wait was horrrrrrible!!! We waited a good half an hour at the table before ordering any food! Then waited another 20 mins for our food... so an HOUR wait before food went into our mouths. What was worse, the wait time was completely unorganized. There were people seated after us that got to place their order before us and people seated before us where OUR order was taken before theres. The service was just downright horrible and probably one of the worse customer services in Honolulu that I have ever experienced. The workers also looked stressed. Our guy that served our food just seemed annoyed to be there and hated life. Sorry Pho 777, but you just lost a customer. :(

    My favorite dish is #31: cold vermicelli noodle with bbq pork and summer rolls. It is refreshing and filled with fresh vegetables. Th bbq is seasoned perfectly and summer roll is always hot, flaky, and filled with savory ingredients.

    I've been here a lot when it first opened, but the last visit was probably after a long time that I did not go and I probably won't go back. The pho and food are still decently good (except the pho could be better), but their service is lack luster. The staff are nice, but it takes a long time just to get water, or the check. They need to improve their service. Oh and clean their cups better. My cup of water was so greasy!!

    I must thank my fellow YEEPS for inspiring me; by that I mean pulling into the teeny- tiny parking lots of McCully Shopping Center to eat at Pho 777, which I have never heard of, until I started perusing YELP. If you have lived in Hawaii all your life or own a Toyota Corolla or a Mo-Ped, you'll be used to parking in the stalls provided by McCully Shopping Center. If you are from Texas or if you own a Hummer, you are in big trouble. I was lucky enough to snag parking after someone left; never mind the fact that I had to back in/out about five times to get it right..only to have someone key my car after I was done eating because they were probably mad at the way I was forced to park my car, which is...very close! Why am I harping on the parking lot instead of the food? Maybe because you need to be able to PARK before you can EAT....case in point. - I witnessed a parking lot accident as I was leaving the restaurant. There was a lot of screaming and yelling and burning of rubber out of the parking lot. I should have taken a picture of it...darn. I am getting ahead of myself... Once seated in the spartan, plainly decorated restaurant, I ordered Tofu Pho and inquired about one of my favorites, the Salty Lemon drink (Chanh Muoi). The waitress assured me that they can make me my beloved drink, even if it wasn't on the menu. I've had this drink at another Vietnamese restaurant and have since fallen completely with Chanh Muoi. My Tofu Pho ($6.50-ish) was basically tasteless. So much that I ended up adding tons of junk to it = soy sauce, hot pepper sauce, hoi sin sauce, chili oil sauce, cyanide, etc My drink came AFTER my meal. It was basically chopped up preserved, packaged lemon doused with tap water and crushed ice ($2.75). Not worth it and insulting, if you ask me. I could have made it way better at home. No one came to hand me my bill, even after repeated attempts to make eye contact and wave every time the waitress came around; after a while I started feeling a bit stupid - how many times can you wave your right hand and make small squeaky sounds? After the ordeal I thought I'd try to use the bathroom before heading to my next destination but the women's bathroom door was occupied, and there was a large mass of sticky, slimy, oily goo on the floor. I stepped on it and nearly slipped and walked out of the establishment scraping my foot up to every imaginable surface. So would I come back? NO!!

    My first visit here was a pleasant one. We got greeted and seated right away. The menus were somewhat dirty - but I'm used to that with asian restaurants. We ordered summer rolls and medium combination pho. The food came out quickly and tasted good! The portions were very good especially compared to some of the other higher rated places. I really enjoyed the summer rolls, one of the better ones I have had. I see a mixture of ratings for this place so I assume that I caught them on a good night. I would definitely give this place one more try.

    Service is good even though its a bit busy. I'm most impressed by the food. I ordered the simmered catfish and it's super yummy. The flavor reminded me of my aunty's and dads home cooking that I miss so much. The fish was moist not overcooked and the sauce was thick not watery. The best part of it all was the flavor. It's spicy but not too overpowering that it covers the flavor itself. If you ever want tasty fish this is where you should go! I'm coming back for sure!

    Damn. I really used to like this place. Been here a handful of times and have always had a decent experience. But last night... Four of us went it around 9pm. Not too many people. monday night, not anything crazy. First off, I'd been wanting to try their Vietnamese coffee they do with the condensed milk and the little strainer on top of the cup. It's a $4.50 cup of coffee, but screw it, it looked good. WRONG. Pretty sure the server used cold water to make it. We told him about it and he took it away and "re-heated" -- it came back exactly the same temp. Okay... disappointed, but I'll let it slide. We ordered their pork crispy spring rolls to start because we're starving. Our friend's have a one year old and their giving him some when his mom notices the meat inside is still pink. She decides not to let him have and takes him outside cause he's screaming now about having food taken away from him. I ask a runner about it and he just tells me he has "no idea what I ordered." Okay.... you're looking at it. You've only got the one type of crispy spring roll, right? "I don't know," he says and walks away. Hmmm.... We get our bowls. My meat is a little pink and lacking it quantity. Whatever, it's gonna be good. But my wife who got their crab vermicelli is completely appalled by the taste/smell/look etc. There's just something very off about and we all agreed. Since the server COMPLETELY disappeared afterwards, I head up over to the manager who's running the take out window. Once I finally get to talk to him, I tell him, "Hey, my wife really doesn't like the bowl she got and doesn't want to make a dig deal. Can I exchange it for a regular bowl of pho?" He doesn't say anything to me. He quickly walks past me to the table and starts asking HER what's wrong with it. WTF! When is that okay when I tell him she doesn't want to make a big deal?? After this -- none of us are hungry anymore. Sucks cause we wanted to treat our friends, so I picked up the $60 tab for shitty food, service and afterwards the WORST STOMACH ACHE I've had in a while... Don't go here. I'm not. The reviews are right.

    Good part: 1. Your pho has 3 sizes to choose from. All of which are excellent because they contain good ratio of pho, meat, & vegetables & broth amount. 2. Your pho broth is good, almost there, but good (please read my "needs improvement" part for suggestions to enhance your broth). 3. Com Tam. Good. Good size, fast cook (service before pho soups came out) that's the way I like it. U guys can probably compete with Com Tam Thuan Kieu lol. 4. Egg Rolls. Also good. Nice & hot. Center is well-spiced. 5. Enough veggies. That's excellent & that's how Viet restaurants supposed to be. Needs Improvement (this is minor; though helpful for your enhancement of your business): 1. Your pho broth needs a little more of that "star spice", you know "hoi" or (5 spice)? It's that spice that shapes like a small brown star? I always put that spice in my broth when I cook pho & that's the "secret" ingredient for making excellent pho. Every other ingredient you put in your broth is correct & excellent. 2. Egg Rolls: Try using the rice paper spring rolls (instead of regular egg rolls); when they're fried, they're more crispy. Also, maybe a little more of the toppings inside to make the egg roll radius a little bit more thick. Other than that, everything else is excellent. Overall, I give u guys 3.5 stars. But since I'm generous, it's 4 stars/5. Congratulations & keep up the good work Pho 777!!! Best Pho in Hawaii I tried so far. The best in Hawaii.

    I had this intense craving for pho & after reviewing various Pho eateries around town via Yelp, after telling him about their reviews & mentioning how delicious the photos looked, we to check out Pho 777. I was looking forward to a big, steaming bowl of delicious seafood pho but was really disappointed with the food & service. Maybe Pho 777 was experiencing a bad night, one of the waitresses ran into the bus boy & spilled pho all over their customers & no one came to clean up the mess for awhile. When the dinner rush died down, we didn't receive any attention until our food was dropped off. After we finished our meal, we didn't know if someone was gonna drop off the check or if we needed to pay at the register; we waited 10 minutes & finally paid at the register before leaving the restaurant. Maybe we'll come back & visit on another night, if we happen to be in the area but I don't think we'll go out of our way to eat pho here.

    We've eaten here many times and we like this restaurant! The pho has always been good, it arrived fresh and hot, the noodle was in perfect texture, fully cooked but not mushy as it happened sometimes before at other pho restaurant. The broth was clear and tasty, with a good amount of meat. I had the oxtail pho at my resent visit and I really enjoyed it a lot! The restaurant was nice, big and clean, the service was fast and friendly, will try to go back in the future, probably for another bowl of oxtail pho!

    This is the first time I went to a Pho joint and no one ordered Pho. Came here during lunch time for bosses day and there was ample parking at Mccully shopping center. When we went inside there were not that many patrons however, there was only one lady taking care of the entire restaurant. Luckly my co-worker was a true viet and went to where the server was (she was in the kitchen) to flag her for our order. We did ala carte style and ordered the "spring roll noodle" (spring rolls inside pho noodles w/o the broth), "papaya salad", "shaken beef" (marinated bbq beef squares), and "banh xeo"(vietnamese pancakes mixed with bean sprouts and shrimp). The food came out in a timely manner. My favorite was the "shaking beef" (bo luc lac) because it was so flavorful and tender. I also enjoyed the "banh xeo" but it was difficult to pick up with a chopstick. Overall our meal was enjoyable. I came here before and order the Pho but I didn't think it was that great. I would defiantly come here again but and order other stuff other than the pho. I totally forgot this place accepts the Isle Discount card with 10% off Monday-Friday. Pho 777 is a great place for legit viet food.

    Aside from the convenient location and the parking lot, I don't know why this place seems to be so popular. The food is fine if you want a clean, well-maintained restaurant, but the pho broth is bland and the flavors of the sour soup are off. The pho broth was blah and adding hot sauce and plum sauce did not help. It tasted like water with a slight beef flavor. Flat. The catfish sour soup was overpowered by sweetness-- definitely unbalanced. The catfish pieces were super fatty and unappetizing. Between the unbalanced flavors, the bland pho broth, and the fatty catfish pieces, no one wanted to finish the pho or the soup. Honolulu has a lot of pho restaurants-- I'd suggest going elsewhere.

    I used to come here pretty often, mainly because it's open late and there's usually no wait. Sometimes the food takes long, and it's difficult to get the waiter's attention, but I usually don't mind because it seems to be a family run business (I think?) However, I came around Christmas time and had the worst experience ever! First of all, when we were seated it took around 15 minutes for us to flag down a server. When we finally ordered, we waited about another 20 minutes and noticed that the table next to us that came later got their food first. At this point I was getting irritated because I'm HUNGRY and my food is taking long!! Then when it came I noticed I didn't get my meat. (I order my meat outside). Again, another 10 minutes JUST to get the attention of a server. We finally let him know I didn't get my meat and he brings it but at this point my soup isn't even as hot as before so my meat didn't really cook all the way.... didn't even offer to re-heat my soup :( BUT. The final straw came when my friend noticed a dead fly in his soup... gross. Totally gross. I've never gone back again. The food is good, but the service could really use improvement.

    Sad face, sad face, sad face!!!!!! I don't like the food and definitely don't like the service. No one greeted us, menus were just placed on the table, someone asked us "what do you want", and no one thanked us when we left. This time my tip definitely reflected the service!!! Boyfriend had the oxtail pho and I had spicy pork vermicelli. My dish had spaghetti noodles in it...it tasted exactly like spaghetti noodles in a pork broth :-/ before deciding to eat here we passed Sweet Home Cafe, Hot Pot Heaven, and So Dong Gong...other than the last place the wait was too long and we decided to eat at pho 777. Such a mistake that won't happen again, I hardly touched my food, I even tried to drink my bf's oxtail soup cause I was still hungry! Thankfully my hot head was cooled down by a delicious dessert at Snow Factory.

    I come to Honolulu once a year and this year I found 777. I have eaten lots of Vietnamese food in my life and this restaurant is oneof the places I will eat everyday. Pho, bun mang vit, canh chua Tom, ca kho to, ga zap xa ot all delicious. I will be back next year to eat here.

  • Dan F.

    I wouldn't order the Oxtail Pho. The Oxtail was very fatty and it wasn't boiled long enough for the meat to fall off the bone. The meat was tough and the taste was very bland. Soup was the same as you would have at any other Pho restaurants.

  • Haein P.

    I may as well be Vietnamese from all the pho I eat and crave all day, err'day (almost). I was never exposed to good pho, or pho at all for that matter, until moving to Hawaii a few years ago. Pho in Korea doesn't cut it - at ALL. It took me a little while to get my preferences down and get used to the acquired flavors and spices that were entirely new to me, but once I did, I was hooked and needed a regular fix of my hearty, warm, bowl of beefy goodness. Although I wasn't a huge fan of pho 777 at first (namely due to the fact that I felt as though they were using the wrong kind of noodles, they were too round and more like Asian spaghetti noodles than pho/rice noodles), they happen to be one of the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants around (according to a few of my Vietnamese friends) and they also changed their noodles to the regular kind. +The pho is flavored to hot perfect with a myriad of spices and ingredients (cinnamon, cilantro, beef, fat, onion, ginger, star anise, etc) that taste more prominent and slow-cooked than that of other restaurants. +house special bahn mi sandwich - amazing. I love banh mi and pho 777 does know how to pork up a good sandwich with all its contrasting flavors and textures (sweet, spicy, sour, salty, briney, creamy, crunchy from the pickled daikon and carrots, charsiu meat, homemade mayo, toasted french baguette) + fried egg and mochi - such a good appetizer despite its not-so-appealing appearance and presentation. it's simple comfort food at its best! The service is definitely hit or miss, but the food more than well makes up for the lack of attention and assertiveness at times. PLUS, it's open until midnight or so making it so much more attainable for the busy, hard-working college student (like little old moi!)

  • Esther F.

    I... absolutely dislike this place... Why? Broth taste like sink water. No matter how much sauce and random [profanity] I dump in there... No go. I first came here because my friend told me that there was a pho place around McCully, so I gave it a shot. And boy... I kind of regret doing so. Parking of course is crappy, but I took the bus, not so bad. Walk upstairs, walk in, you get seated. They give you water of course, and you hear the TV playing some vietnamese show/musical/something as you're chatting with your friends. Waiter was okay. He wasn't rude when I went, and so we ordered pho, and at first I thought it looked delicious, and as I took a bite... oh god. Sink water. I splash some sauces in.. NOTHING. Grr.. Sure, they're opened late, but what the hell... I think I rather eat paper at that point... To not waste food, I ate it, whatever sauces I can find to stomach the noodles.. and not to be rude to my friend and workers there. It's cheap at least, but I highly recommend to not get the broth. I wouldn't mind trying other foods, like spring rolls, but for this round that I went.. It makes my stomach want to starve whenever I think about the broth. I rather go to Pho Bistro 2, or Pho One. Better broth there. I gave this place an extra star only because they're opened until super late. So if you're intoxicated and you want pho, this place is the place to go.

    I'm definitely on the fence about this restaurant. More towards not liking it than liking it. I came here a few times and I can strictly remember not ever getting seated by someone. I'm not sure if that's just how their system is (to have guests seat themselves) but if it is, a sign needs to be put up. I was never greeted by anyone each time I went, as well. I can thoroughly remember that because I didn't feel as if I was welcome. So after asking a little girl running around if I could take my own seat, I chose a spot. After a couple of minutes, a cute little old man came out with a cup of ice water and a menu. He made an effort to give me some great smiles and small talk - I liked that. I ordered their #14 - pho with rare beef and beef balls. Before my soup came out, a woman brought me a large helping of various veggies and a lime. A LIME! Yesss, not a lemon! I definitely prefer lime over lemon for my pho. My pho came out steaming hot so my rare beef definitely turned well done in the bowl, haha. The broth without any sauces in it is quite flavorful. Not too salty, not too oily. However, when I added hoisin and sriracha, OH MAN! That was the stuff to take it over the edge! It was sooo good and totally hit the spot. What I really don't like is what happens after you're finished eating. They don't give a receipt or a check, so what you need to do is go up to the bar area and wait for someone to help you. If you ask for someone, be careful, because their sass stings. The woman who dealt with the cash register the last 2 times that I've been there doesn't speak up so when I didn't hear her the say the total the first time, she gave me a look as if I were an idiot and when she told me the total again, it was as if the numbers were dripping in venom. I love pho, but I don't know if I'd come back to the woman working at the front. If I do come back, I'll let someone else go up and pay for the check hehe

    Ate here at various times, food is pretty good but service could be better. I usually stick to the usual which is the summer rolls, combination pho, or spring roll and bbq chicken vermicelli. No problems with the food so far. Just wished the servers were more friendly and personable.

  • Doris D.

    Decent pho place, the broth isn't anything special. I got the spring roll and BBQ pork bun, which had tons of greens to my liking. My husband really liked his garlic pork and shrimp rice plate. The Vietnamese coffee is nice and strong too. But if you're looking for pho, I wouldn't count this place as a go-to place. Service was unbearably slow, our beverages (coffees and coke) didn't come out until 60% into the meal, dishes came out slow, bill came slow as well. The restaurant wasn't that full at all at lunch time.

  • Matt M.

    Service sucked. Order came out backwards. To go box had a cockroach in it. So we asked that we not pay for the meal. And the lady argued infront of other customers and threatened to call the cops. There was a hair in our soup too. DO NOT GO HERE

    Great location to get your late night pho fix. relatively cheap and seating is usually always available. located conveniently on the slight outskirts of town so it's also close to big malls, other eateries and businesses. parking is a little meh, McCully has these awkward stalls that seem cramped and during prime time (6-9pm) it's almost fustrating to find parking. luckily there's a downstairs garage, but even that gets full fast. So plan ahead! As far as the food, it's nothing too spectacular but it is pretty affordable along with combo meals and side dishes that are great! personally love the spring rolls, summer rolls, the thai tea, and i always get the pho w/meat balls, well-done flank and brisket. A dinner for two, can sometimes be all under $25. Service is sporadic, sometimes the service is fast, and sometimes it takes forever to even order. the workers and owners are pretty chill and everybody seems to move at a moderate pace. Again, service is ok. Nothing special. Restrooms are bit on the sketch side, a little on the un-kept side. Just a heads up, don't spend too much time in there, almost feels like they neglect the restrooms on purpose, but yeah not very sanitary. Overall a great late night eatery to have some Vietnamese food and drinks. They have alcohol so don't sweat for all you who want a beer with your food. But again there are a lot of great pho places, but i always come back to this place because it is the only pho place that is open really late. check it out guys!

    I came here again because I was craving papaya salad and Dee Thai was closed. Also, this was the closest thing to work that I had in 15 minutes. WOW. Not only did it take 15 minutes to come out, it was so ew. The sauce was oily! And orange! And the waiters walk around like zombies. HOW ANNOYING when you're on a time frame. Probably also when you're not! PS. This review has nothing to do with the irritating little girl who kept running around the restaurant and spitting rice all over the ground and pulling straws out of everyone's cups. Damn parents who can't discipline their kids. But I guess that's the kind of people you'll find when you eat at a place like this.

  • Gary N.

    Not a great experience, first of all the table cloth looked dirty with food spots all over. The condiment containers were covered with sticky grease, as was some of the utensils and the little sauce plates. Most of the help was too busy using their smart phone and seemed annoyed that they had to help customers. Food was mediocre at best. Preparation and presentation is not priorities here. Food was served the way you would expect from a roadside stall. The only positive thing I can say is that the price was low so my expectations should have been low too.

    I like this place because it's walking distance from home, the pho is good, and service is quick. This is your run-of--the-mill vietnamese restaurant where you seat yourself, you order quick, and you pay at the counter when you're done. The pho broth is good. It's not too salty or oily and has tons of flavor. I have not tried anything else besides pho dac biet from this restaurant since I only go to vietnamese restaurants because I crave pho. This place definitely satisfies that craving.

    Pho 777 is the Taco Bell of Vietnamese food. I mean that in the best way possible. Seriously. At Taco Bell you choose your favorite combination of meat, cheese, lettuce and shell. Although the names may be different, don't let them fool you, its the same ingredients that go into each item. Soft taco? thats beef lettuce cheese soft tortilla. Hard taco? Same beef, same cheese, same lettuce, hard shell. Crunchwrap supreme? EVERYTHING IN ONE. So basically Pho 777 is the same concept. Take your choice of meat, veggies, broth, noodles, and temperature and choose your favorite combination of all of the above. Do you like beef, hot broth, noodles and veggies? That's a large beef pho. Do you like veggies, cold, shrimp, and noodles? Those are summer rolls. The best parts of Pho 777 is that they are open late if you're looking for a pho fix and they accept the Isle Discount card for 10% off.

    I absolutely love the PHO here! It's one of the BEST places I have ever eaten at! Even though the PHO is very good, i must admit the service here is very slow. Unless you're with some good company that will keep you occupied the waiting will get to you, especially if you're hungry and in a hurry. I have eaten here twice and done take out twice. The two times I have eaten here, it has been an okay experience. There was always a bit of a wait to get your food and no one really refills your water, which is kind of annoying. But the family that runs/owns the restaurant are pretty nice people so it makes the wait a bit more bearable. The two times I have called in for a take out there was definitely a 15-20 minute wait, which does not sit well with me. I called ahead of time to let them know when im coming but still when i arrive on time I wait 15-20 minutes for my food. I don't think they start making the food until you arrive, so if you're doing a pick up there's really no point in calling in. Just go in and tell them what you want and come back 20 minutes later and it SHOULD be ready for you. So although the food here is good and not too expensive, the service here definitely needs a bit of an improvement. But all in all 4 stars for this place! So if you're a first timer for pho or an regular pho eater like me, this is a place to definitely check out with some good company!

    Can't count how many times I've been here. It's just one of those places you just keep coming back to with your friends and family. The food here is hands down one of the best I have ever tried at a Vietnamese restaurant. There pho, salads, vermicelli, and rolls ARE AMAZING! Gotta try em all and gotta love em all! My favorite has definitely been the Pho Meat Combo! Great size and definitely great broth! A great recovery food if you're either sick or haning (haha). Try the Lemon Beef Salad...IT IS BOMB! Not too many people have heard of this, but let me tell you...you won't regret ordering this delicious salad! The service here is ok I guess. Have to flag them down a couple of times to get water. But...they have never messed up on an order yet. So they are definitely doing something right. The prices are decent but the parking sucks at McCully. So be prepared for some stall hunting! PHO-NATIC...SIGNING OUT!

    Great little restaurant in a very busy location. Friendly servers and a very nice little wine list. Not many Vietnamese PHO restaurants that have a decent selection and house wine ( Pinot Grigio and Merlot) for $17.00 a bottle.... I like the Cuvaison Chardonny after my bottle of Perrier Jouet Champagne.....yum, yum :)

    Being from San Francisco, I've had some pretty awesome pho in life. I've also had some horrid places. But I'd have to say this place is definitely where I've come back to over and over again and this is the only pho restaurant I've brought my friends to. They do have their pros and cons, but it's nothing out of the ordinary that I don't already expect from Vietnamnese restaurants. Pros: Fresh pho, hot soup, lots of veggies, awesome selection of cold noodles, bbq meats, crunchy and fatty pieces of spring rolls, super fresh summer rolls, and yummy dessert drinks. Free parking in the private lot, lots of seating, food comes out fast. Cons: 2 out of the 3 regular servers I get are always grouchy or the 'too cool' to talk to you attitude with you. Pricey for pho, but I guess what's not on this island -.-^

    One of my favorite noodle dishes is Pho!! I absolutely love it! Usually I go to china town because It's the cheapest place to get Pho. I don't like going in to china town so i like to discover new places. . Pho 777 is by far one of my favorite places to eat Pho for a number of reasons. First off, I like the broth, its really tasty. Usually restaurants put A LOT of MSG in their broth which isn't the best for you. Whenever I eat foods that are heavy in MSG, i tend to get really thirsty and dehydrated and need to drink A LOT of water. At this place, I don't drink as much water and it's so flavorful that it tastes like the broth took hours to make. Secondly, the price is pretty reasonable for Pho. Lastly, the food comes nice and quick and still HOT. One of my favorite types of PHO is PHO with rare steak. I like to get the steak raw outside so that it doesn't overcook the meat. Their portions are pretty good too so if I'm not starving, the small portion will do. if your not into PHO, I recommend the beef salad. It is a light salad with beef,onions, and cilantro on top garnished with peanuts. It has a tangy vinaigrette dressing that goes well with it. Also, if your looking for something refreshing to drink, I highly recommend the lemonade. It's not too tart and not too sweet and it is fresh squeezed!! Unfortunately, the only reason for the missing star in my rating is the service and the parking! Usually when I dine here, the waiter pretty much gives me a menu, comes back to take my order, and then when I am done I HAVE to go to the cashier to get the bill because if not I will be waiting forever. The service isn't that bad but it isn't that great either. The good thing is that the food comes quick so I don't mind. Then there is the parking!! Well this place is located in the McCully Shopping Center (need i say more). There are a ton of businesses at the shopping center but not enough parking. There is additional parking located down below in the basement but it is just a single level parking with not too much stalls. Overall, I enjoy this place very much and whenever i want to get my Pho fix, this is the place to go! it's also an added bonus that my favorite milk tea place is right below it called Coffee or Tea?!

    I live right around the corner from Pho 777, GREAT pleasure to do so! Everything I have eaten here has been quite delicous. The pho has a lovely aromatic broth, which brought me back to life one night after a 10 hour hike in Moole Valley. Thank you soup gods a'plenty! I always get the meat combo pho (meatballs, brisket, and rare round). The crispy spring rolls are very ono. Served with romaine, mint, and of course fish sauce. The ox tail soup, local delicacy, is one of my favorites. The only reason they loss a star is due to service. I frequent this location and it's hit or miss. Recently i went for lunch and the staff was arguing about something in full view of the entire restaurant. Things got quite heated and made for an uncomfortable dining environment. I don't recall his name, my apologies, but he is a young man with a spiked mohawk, he is a great server!

    I went to this place once and this is going to be a very short post. Toothpick in the pho... Enough said. And they charged us for it. Never went back, won't be changing my mind.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants on the island. I go to this place regularly with my friends. I will keep coming back as long as I am here! PROS: -They're open until 2PM! Most places around the island are closed at that hour, but not Pho 777. -There service is fast at the start, and very friendly. They always have a good sense of humor! -Super affordable with excellent portions! -The Finest House Rice Special, and any of the Pho bowls are amazingly tasty. Their steak is a winning meal as well! CONS: -The parking is free but the McCully parking lot gets full really fast. Don't go around popular dinner hours if you can. Go for lunch or a late dinner. -They don't refill your water as fast as you can drink it often. -The servers also tend to disappear after you get your food. You have to then go up to the register when you're ready to pay your bill. -The Thai ice teas are always so tasty but you get so little in one glass. -Good for small groups (of 4 or less), but there's not much room for more than that.

    this review is strictly about the OXTAIL PHO..... the OXTAIL PHO at Pho 777..... sucks. the end. if you dine here, its one of those "it depends on what you eat" kind of places. somethings are good (seafood pho), somethings are bad (oxtail pho), and somethings are ok (crispy spring rolls)...... AVOID THE OXTAIL HERE. it - is - crap.

    My co-workers and I come here often after work and always have a great time. The water service lacks a bit but other than that everything is great! Pros: Open Late Decently Priced Accommodates Large Parties Friendly Staff

    Never dined here, but they are so kind to let me use their bathroom when I was in panic of not being able to use their 2F bathroom without a key. They are a life savor! YELP 365 - 342/365

    I solely come to Pho 777 for the convenience, especially since it is open late. It is a great after-gym or late-night finals restaurant to hit up other than Zippy's. Haha! The staff is a bit flighty as it takes a while for them to acknowledge customers who enter the restaurant and longer for a waiter/waitress to serve. I enjoy both the spring and summer rolls and the regular pho. The beef balls are just not my thing, so I stick with the regular. I've had a few instances where there were things in our food that were not meant to be in there... I would like to end that note there as I am getting a bit queasy just thinking about it again... However, I'm a big fan of it's location and it's hours and I definitely will be there again even if it just for one dish. However, since it is surrounded by other great restaurants, a tip to Pho 777 is to step up their cleanliness in their restaurant, their service manners, and to be cautious of how they make their food.

    Ok pho and open late. That's about it. Seriously. I've gone there probably twenty something times because of their location(McCully) and late hours. Food was ok. The re-occurring constant is their poor service. Whether it's them getting an order wrong, not bringing water, or taking forever to bring us our orders(even when the place is less than half full) - it's just a normal day there. I wish it would change because I would go back for their food. I don't know if it's because they're too busy watching the Vietnamese Music Awards (literally on ALL the time) but their service really is bad.

    Last time I was here, it took about 20 minutes to get seated. Then it took about another 15 minutes to get some water and menus. We actually had to stop a waiter & ask request for it. After ordering, it took about half an hour to get our food. I was disappointed because I've heard from many friends that their pho was pretty good. It didn't really phase me. It tasted kind of bland to me. The noodles were undercooked also. Don't know about coming back..

    Came here the other day with my favorite foodie friend and I was totally disappointed! The tofu tasted sour. The flavors were bland. The Service was slow. I really dislike it when I recommend a place and then am let down so greatly. It really makes me sad.

    Great place to get my Pho fix. Usually get the special #25 with the tendons, beef balls, tripe, and steak. Service is fast and they're not as crowded as the other place down the street. Also tried the spring rolls which was very tastee. Would make this my regular hangout for pho.

  • Annie K.

    I LOVE PHO. I was pretty excited to try a new pho place. Sad to say, it was a disappointment. I usually order steak, beef balls, and tripe. Personally, I don't prefer fatty beef ball or beef balls with the cartilage or whatever it is. Just the sight of it makes feel icky. That is just me. When I entered the restaurant, it looked and feel clean but when we started preparing our utensils and looking at our sauce dish, that was another story. The little sauce dishes were a sticky. On a better note, I did enjoy the spring rolls and the fact that they had 3 sizes for pho: small, medium, and large. Small for the bite size appetites. Medium for the hungry. Large for the mommies to share with their little ones. :)

    My visit was bad since I walked into the restaurant!!!! No one acknowledge us when my friends and I walked in during lunchtime on Friday. The lady owner was too busy talking to another guy to even say hi/welcome or let us know which table to sit at. So we figured all right no problem, however the restaurant was practically empty, so what was she so busy with?!!! After sitting down, we waited 5 minutes before getting a menu. And waited an additional 5 minutes for someone to come take our order. The slightly younger guy took our order with a tone and facial expression like his dog died or something. When asked about an item on the menu, he stupidly starred into space. Geez, you would think people would be appreciative of getting some business. All the small saucers on the table were still dirty with soap water and the spoons were still dirty as well. May I kindly suggest a dishwasher? There was also a moth in one of my friends bowl of pho and they didn't even apologize! As if the previous horrible service wasn't bad enough, the lady owner charged us with random charges on our bill and tried to pass it off as "tax" for HI's general exercise tax. She then attempted to lecture me about taxes with her horrible English & accused me of not understanding state laws. Pleease, I've studied taxes during my undergraduate years... Food wasn't horrible, but there could've been a few more slices of meat in my pho! Charging $3 more for the combo for 3 pieces of meat is ridiculous. As for the service and cleanliness....absolutely THE WORST. There are many other Pho places that would actually be honest and show gratitude for our business. This place is nothing special. DEFINITELY NOT GOING THERE AGAIN!

    Hot pho on cold day! Minus the parking situation at McCully which isn't Pho 777's fault, it's a great place to get your Vietnamese at. There's almost never a line and it is outside the Chinatown chaos.

  • Francis L.

    The only pho restaurant I only went for while now, since its close to where i live. the food is pretty good always order the combo meat. but the server is not what you called friendly. they make you put stuff for them like chop sticks and sauce. why would i tip them, its like im working there.... but i wouldnt expect happy environment but at least a little would be nice.

    After being exposed and used to "Seattle-Pho" I was anxious to try Pho in Hawaii. I certainly had high expectations, but my experience here was unfortunately disappointing. The location is great as there is frequent parking in the McCully shopping center. The restaurant itself was clean, full-bar, Vietnamese TV and a lot of seating. I ordered the chicken pho, my boyfriend got pho with everything and extra meatballs, and we got our usual order of fresh spring rolls. I'm not really sure why, but the pho broth was SO different than what I'm used to. It was VERY minty and it honestly didn't set well on my palette. It made me wonder if my Seattle-Pho was not "real" pho. LOL Both our pho's had very little broth (not full at all), but a lot of noodles/meat. We did enjoy our fresh, shrimp spring rolls, but I didn't enjoy the peanut sauce very much. Service was fine and our water glasses were never empty so that was definitely a plus.

    It's a toss up between a 3 and a 4, but my boyfriend and I are regulars and haven't had any problems (that we know of) just yet. Pros: We come here a lot because it's convenient. I work in town, he lives 2 minutes away from McCully Shopping Center. We both love pho. Their veggie tofu pho is on point. It's cheap, and the taste is usually always good. Their late night hours are perfect for our busy schedule, even though they aren't open till 2AM anymore T__T Cons: My friend just instagrammed a medium sized roach in her pho. I hate to put them on blast, but that's what yelp is for. That picture made me sick to my stomach considering how often I go there. It wasn't a baby either. I do think cleanliness is something they lack, which is pretty much the only reason why I can't give them 5 stars.

  • Bronson O.

    4 stars for the food. The food is great. Service was really poor. Had to stand up and help myself to water, waitress was really rude and grouchy, and they did not accept our Isle discount card because she didn't know how to work the register and apparently only the manager knew how and he was gone. I asked if she could void the transaction and ring it up again, and she said they can't....idk????

    I love their vermicelli spring roll salad, and I always order grilled shrimp instead of pounded shrimp. Lately they have been making it a little on the hot side so if you prefer fresh and crisp ask them to hold back on the spicyness. I've been coming here for years and also enjoy their beef pho. They play Vietnamese and some American DVD's, which can be entertaining :-) The waitress that works most of the time here really knows how to hustle- she is awesome!!!

  • Ryan K.

    Are you a pho expert? I've had a lot of different phos in many countries and it's so subjective. Clear broth or hardy broth. Oily or not. This pho rates pretty high. Not too salty and the noodles are not soggy at all. I really come here for the bo thai chanh (lemon beef salad). This is rare beef cooked in lemon juices and tossed with basil, lettuce and herbs with a sweet spicy dressing. If you are adventurous please try it, you may get hooked!

    I ate here tonight after a very long day of work because my friend Roni was craving pho and it was the only place open late. All I wanted was to sit down and eat a bowl of noodles without hassle, but I went to the wrong place. Roni was running a few minutes late because she drives like a sleepwalking snail, but I already knew what she wanted to eat, so I sat down and waited for someone to greet me or give me water. I waited 5 minutes, then Roni showed up. We waited 10 more minutes. No one was even looking in our direction. My face was starting to contort into a decidedly unfriendly frown. Luckily, Roni was able to get the man's attention before my smile turned upside down. The server asked me what we wanted, so I said, "My friend would like a pho tai with the meat inside . . . HELLO, ARE YOU LISTENING?" I hadn't even finished my first sentence, and he had already zoned out, pen frozen in midair, eyes rolled back in his head. I'm usually not such a witch, but it IS close to Halloween, I'd worked hard all day and night, and the bad service was not winning me over. I started over, "Can you write it down? She wants a pho tai and I'd like a #45 with egg noodles." He seemed to wake up and scribbled something down in his pad. Whatever he scribbled was the wrong thing. I'd ordered dry egg noodles in a sauce tossed with seafood and I got the one in soup. Of course, I had to hunt the guy down and tell him that. Giving me a most dubious look, he took the wrong order away. While I was waiting, I tried Roni's pho. It was awful--the worst pho I've ever eaten. The broth was so weak, it was beyond bland and had none of that delicious, long-simmered beef bone flavor, no cinnamon or anise, or anything tasty in there. Poor Roni even added shoyu to help it along. Bleh. Five minutes later, another guy showed up with the right order. "You order this one?" he asked. "Yes, thank you," I replied. "What number is it?" "FORTY FIVE! GET LOST!!" Okay, I didn't say the "get lost" part, but seriously, you're really going to test me, a$$hole? Really???!! Anyway, the guy really did get lost. It's impossible to get any kind of service in there. No water refills, no check-back to see if you need anything, no manners or customer service. I even had to walk to another table to get napkins and spoons. The only thing we got without asking was the check. My noodles were so disappointing. There was hardly any seafood on them, the sauce was thin, they forgot my plate of lettuce, beansprouts, and side of red vinegar, and when I asked for the side of pickled jalapenos and garlic that usually comes with it, they reacted like I escaped from an insane asylum AND was speaking Czech to them. We don't care if it is the only place serving pho late at night; we are never going there again.

    Dang! I left very impressed by the vegetarian-friendly spirit to Pho 777. The menu (at least when I dined there) highlighted in green the vegetarian options. Yum! During that night's dining experience, my buddy and I opted for the appetizers because of a late night after an event. We split the veggie spring rolls, and I gobbled down my veggie tofu summer rolls with peanut sauce. Delicious! I will be back, especially since I overheard that the veggie pho uses veggie broth, not the usual beef broth. The place was hopping for a late Thursday night. Parking available in the garage below the businesses - if you don't want to fight for parking in the front lot.

    After getting a "Super Jumbo Pudding Milk Tea (w/ Pearl)" from "Coffee or Tea", my friend and I were drawn by Pho 777's flashing OPEN neon light. Being that we hadn't eaten dinner yet, we decided to give it a whirl. The place was spaceous and not that many people were there at the time. Then an employee (from behind their counter) pointed out where to sit. 5 minutes passed then our menus came out. Had to ask for water and spoons!!! It took another 10 minutes for someone to take our order and during that whole time, they decided to clean dirty tables before attending to us! So, we ordered spring rolls, a medium and a large combo both (rare steak inside). Spring rolls came out first which were pretty good compared to other pho places I've visited. Moments later, the pho came. Good sized portions and the noodles were soft. Broth was tasty and full of flavor. I like their chili garlic sauce. All in all, food was great. Need to try other items on their menu. Better customer service a plus!

    Used to love it here. Mostly because they had good oxtail pho with lots of meat at decent prices. Went there today and was severely disappointed. The meat had so much fat on it that you couldn't even see the meat. By the time I was done eating, there was a whole layer of white fat bits covering my soup. Gross!

    Not bad! The vietnamese food here was pretty good. This is my first visit here. We were looking for somewhere to eat and stumbled across this shopping center. The shopping center had tons of other cuisines to choose from, but we chose to try this place because we were tired of italian and curry. Upon centering the restaurant, the decor of the place was very nice. It was organized and very clean. They serve all their food on actual ceramic plates rather the usually plastic you get in asian restaurants, which kind of told me maybe the prices are little higher than any other vietnamese restaurant. For the decor, I give them one star. As for the food, I ordered the #46, which is the seafood crispy noodle. That dish was $14.95, a little pricey, but well worth the price. The dish was huge, easily shared between two people. It had a good amount of noodle to sauce as well. It wasnt totally drenched, it still the crispy effect. This dish was amazing. The noodles had a great airiness to it, really fantastic taste. For the food alone, I give them 3 stars. As for the customer service, it lacked a little. Once we were seated, the waitress wanted us to order right away. I was thinking, "give us a few minutes, geez I never been here before." They have a extensive menu, so I actually wanted a chance to look at it, but after asking for a few minutes, the lady was back two minutes later jumping down our throats to order, so we finally ordered after sending her away just one more time. After we got our food, she never came back to check on us to see if we needed anything else. If the customer service was a little better, I would of given them the full 5 stars, but alas, it wasn't very good, so I am solid on only 4 stars overall. I haven't tried the pho yet, but I may come back to try it, but maybe to go. :)

    We had a substantially different experience last night eating here, since last time. Eating here is usually a good experience. Out of town family and I decided to come here after visiting Sizzler's. Sizzler's was a bit expensive at about $30 a person for just steak and salad bar. We decided to come here instead. Coming here was a mistake. Parking was very bad on street level, but there were many stalls in the basement. Once we got to the restaurant, the wait time for a seat was about ten minutes. Nothing to complain about yet, especially on a Christmas night. The decor was nice. They had a gold buddha statue in front and there were Christmas deocrations. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, even in its busy state. We ordered our food, three different bowls of Pho, BBQ Pork, Thai Iced Tea, and water. The pho and tea came out in less than ten minutes, but we had to ask for the basil, bean sprouts, lemon, and jalapeno peppers. The BBQ Pork did not come out yet, but we just assumed that it would take a little more time. We were about halfway done with our bowls of pho, and our order of BBQ Pork still did not arrive. Also, my sister ordered just a rare beef pho, and started finding things she hated in her bowl. She hates beef brisket and tripe, and both were in her bowl. She asked to change it out and the manager came over and asked, "Why didn't you tell us before eating so much. It might had been a mistake and been someone else's." We did not believe it was our fault, because the waiter came by and announced that it was an order of "rare beef pho." Whatever happened to "the customer is always right?" In addition, I couldn't believe they would be willing to serve it to someone else after digging through in the bowl. About five minutes later, the manager came by with a new bowl of "rare beef pho." This time, it was okay. My sister found no foreign objects in the bowl, and she was happy with it. We still did not receive our BBQ Pork yet. We asked about the order and waiter went to check on it. It was like the BBQ Pork was forgotten. When we were about done with our Pho, and after more than a half an hour after ordering, the BBQ Pork finally came. It was bad because there were four of us in our party, and one of us was just watching the rest of us eat. After receiving the BBQ Pork, there were no apologies for the wait. The fourth member of our party just rushed to scarf it down because the rest of us were done. Two of us had drank all of our water and there was no offer to refill it. There were three people at the cash register and it did not seem like all three needed to be there. It would have been better if they checked on us to see if we needed anything. After we were done I walked up to the cashier to pay for the food. The manager asked if everything was okay. I told him that "the BBQ Pork took a really long time." He did not seem a bit bothered and just told me that it took long because they were busy. This surprised me, because even though they were busy, I don't think it should have taken that long to bring the food out. It was as if they cooked the rice when we ordered and had to wait for the rice to be finished. The BBQ Pork was thinly sliced, so it does not take too long to cook. Also the salad and soup were simple. One good thing about our visit, was that they finally had hand soap inside of the restroom. I was happy about that. The food was also good, except for the really long wait time for one dish, and the mistake made with one bowl of pho.

    Pho 777 is pretty good especially when it's late and you're craving pho. Unlike most pho places, Pho 777 is open fairly late. I believe they are open to midnight. I've tried their pho many times (of course) as well as their rice mochi with egg and their house special fried rice. The fried rice was okay. It was supposed to come with chicken broth (not too sure why) but whenever I order it or my friends order it, they always forget to bring the broth :[ . I didn't really mind because I don't eat it with the broth but just felt that was worth mentioning :P. The servers are super friendly, maybe even too friendly..made me feel slightly awkward but they're harmless and pretty fast, except for when it comes to bringing the check. Price is a little expensive for pho unfortunately and parking can be horrible at peak meal times at McCully but that can be expected.

    I have come to the conclusion that Pho is a remedy. Whether you're hanging, starving or heart broken, pho will be there for you to warm your crying soul. I tried pho 777 for the first time last night and I was surprised to see what a big menu they have. For a pho place, they have quite a variety! I've always heard good things about this place and I can see why. Their portions are pretty decent as well as their prices. So clearly, I usually eat pho but yesterday I wanted to be brave. I tried their vermacelli with pork bruche. It was like vietnamese meatballs! it was a mixture of vermacelli, bean sprouts, basil, and the meatball and then you mix everything with their fish oil sauce and then VOILA, magic appears and its ready to be eaten. I liked it. my boyfriend is the very one to encourage me on writing this review because he ABSOLUTELY LOVES this place. He loves their pho. It makes him cry with tears of joy. So I shall return for some pho so maybe I can have the same tears of joy after. Tip: They accept the ID cards, 10% cheehoo for discount!

  • Chantelle T.

    Came here because there wasn't much else to do with my friends (they're underage still -__-;) Their pho is decent...expensive for what you get in my opinion and the quality is so-so. The noodles are a bit on the hard side (didn't know that was possible) and the broth is just average. I'm glad that they provide all the necessary condiments. Thai tea was decent. Nothing special. Service was super slow. I think this was the longest I've ever had to wait for pho.

  • Ashley N.

    This place gets two stars because on the positive side, the pho is good and they offer small, medium, and large sizes. On the negative side, service sucks. There have been numerous times that I've gone here in the morning to eat and I'm just sitting, waiting at the table to get menus, water, anything! Seriously! The restaurant can be completely empty and you're just sitting there wasting your life away, waiting for someone to serve you. The funny thing is that they have a bell on the door at the entrance so you can hear when people go in and out...obviously it's good for nothing! Another thing I observed when sitting at the restaurant was the phone ringing, and no one even came out to answer it! Dear God! Would I recommend this place? Maybe. But you better just be going there for the pho. Don't expect good service or maybe any service for that matter.

  • Mark M.

    One of my good friends introduced me to this place. I wasn't really into Pho before but everything changed. I always try something different everytime i go to places, but when i go to a Vietnamese Resturant, i always end up getting the same item, Vermicelli Noodles with Springrolls (and it depends on my mood) if with BBQ Pork or BBQ Chicken. But when i got here, i tried the Pho Combination. It was like heaven! I am no where close to being an expert in Pho but my taste buds or my satisfied stomach lie! It was delicious. Especially when combined with that "spicy sauce" and oyster sauce that they have! Writing this review just makes me want to go there and eat some. Pho 777's Pho comes in S/M/L with fresh sprouts, basil leaves, mint, jalapenos, and lemons! With these garnishes, it makes the Pho so much refreshing. Here's a tip: PHO MAKES A REALLY GOOD HANGOVER MEDICINE! This place is neat and clean. The Service is excellent. The staffs were friendly and very approachable. They OPEN 'til 1 AM. and they ACCEPT CREDIT CARD!

    My family went here for dinner because it was a rainy night and they were open. I wasn't really craving for pho so I ordered their pork chop and shredded pork plate. The plate also comes with rice, 2 pieces of cucumber and tomatoes, a lettuce leaf, a soup broth? and sauce. The pork chop and rice were delicious when it was piping hot but after that, it tasted bland. As for the shredded pork, I took one taste of it and never touched it afterwards. It had a weird taste to it. I also didn't like the broth soup that came with my plate so I placed the shredded pork in their for it to be forgotten. As for the pho, the broth was a-okay. The medium was huge so she shared her pho with me. She got the combination which included beef balls, briskets, beef and tripe. There could've been more stuff though. My first sip of broth tasted not too good but as I got to sip more, it began tasting alright. It had a meaty taste to it. We also ordered a 4 piece spring roll which was good. The good thing about this location is that it closes late, so three stars for Pho 777.

    I've been to quite a few Vietnamese restaurants, and this was the worst. Maybe they never had a chance after I used their restroom, which stunk of vomit. But even putting that aside, their green papaya salad was limp and flavorless. Their bun was ok. I won't be going back.

    Came on a Tuesday morning when the owner was all alone and it was already busy! Felt so bad he was by himself to cook and take care of customers. Our order took a bit long but it was okay as we could tell he was trying his best! Can't help it if everyone wants to eat there :) there was a party of 11 and 6 that came in after us. I ordered the oxtail pho (had oxtail before but never in pho) and it was delicious ! Loved it! Broth was flavorful as well! Wish I had ordered a bigger size. There are three sizes you can get, medium is good amount! I got a small this time though because I wanted a three bean dessert! This one was good, but I took out the ice because there were some huge chunks. Dad got the mochi cake with egg, which he enjoyed. Boyfriend got a vermicelli bowl and holy crap, there was a lot of meat! So yummy. I had to help him eat some ;) fine with me! Brother also liked his noodle soup, some kind of clear vermicelli.

    I'm originally from Seattle and believe it or not they have AMAZING pho places. I've had some REALLY bad experiences with pho here...one place had spaghetti noodles??? I was pleasantly surprised with 777. I ordered summer rolls, pho tai and a thai tea. They were all delish! The rolls were super fresh tasting. The pho had a great flavor to it, lots of noodles and plenty of veggies...only weird thing...they served it with a lemon instead of a lime, minor detail though. I loved that they gave me the option to have the tai on the side...YESSS! Service was great and the place was really clean. I was even able to connect to w-ifi while I was there (studying for finals). I was also stoked they took credit cards...lots of pho places are cash only. Seemed like their prices were a tad high for pho though. If they would have served a Vietnamese cream puff with it, it would have been heaven! Why don't pho places in HI do that? Anywho, great pho...I'll be back!

    Food is pretty good, open late and near by? Sounds good to me. I'm a little picky with pho since I travel to south east asia a lot. I have notice that no matter what the pho here on Oahu just never stacks up to the stuff over there but it's as good as its going to get. It is what it is, cheap good eats =)

    Service is good. English isn't the servers first language, so if the servers seem rude, they may just not get what you're saying. The food is Ono. Spring rolls are crisp and spiced right. And the pho' is some of the best in town.

    I know I wrote a review raving about how great this place was... Keyword: Was. I ate here last night and things totally turned around for me. The service: Two young boys were running the place. One of them kept making inappropriate jokes. He is so gross and annoying! The other one seemed really stressed out and worried. Wasnt very attentive and took a long time to get his attention. Sauces were not on the table they sat us at. I know I said the service was good and the servers were funny, but this one dude ruined it for everyone. The food: YIKES there are gnats flying around my veggies... Spring rolls were good. However one rolled off the plate and onto our table... the guy just put it back on the plate. I wouldnt trust!!!! The noodles are different from other restaurants (only sometimes?). They are thicker and it seems like theyre undercooked. It was gross. Also, I found a piece of fFOIL in my soup!!! I know it could have been worse! But it makes me nervous when foreign objects are found in my food. Tried to call the worried boy over, but got the jackass instead. He blamed me for the foil...BAD TIME FOR A JOKE. He offered to make me a new one... NO! The manager(?)---an older man came out from the back and took my bowl away. My friend ordered iced coffee with milk... and WOW they put a loooot of condensed milk in it. It looked overly sweetened and gross. I go to pay for my food. The manager(?) came back out from the back again, but he walked away quickly. Boy is still making jokes about charging me $7k. He is sooo annoying! Yes, I did get my pho comped. But if I see that jackass working and I come here again, I am walking out the door and going somewhere else. I ordered the Minced Pork Rolls on a separate occasion. DO NOT ORDER THEM...unless you actually like cold, seasoned cartilage in a summer roll. EWW. This WAS a good spot to come to with my friends, but I would rather go somewhere else!! Really disappointed....

    HUUUUGE fan. i think i like that they're open till midnight. haha. my friends live so close to pho 777, and our friend from malaysia always craves it. so it's perfect in regards to proximity. whenever we go inside, we always sit at the same table...the one right under the television. they play anything from thai music videos to beyonce reruns. it's rather interesting. i keep it simple when i order from here. #15? yes please. and their thai iced tea is sooo good. i think better than souvaly.

    After a long night of drinking I always wake up with the craving for noodles... so I decided that I wanted to try this place out again (even though we came here the other week and I didn't really like it, their extensive menu had me thinking about eating here again). The bf asked me, "are you sure you wanna go back?" because he didn't really care for the pho either, but I had to give this place one more try before making my final decision. And.... I still wasn't impressed *sigh.* He had the same thing again, we ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer (you can get 4 or 6) and I tried the beef stew noodles (if you follow my posts you know I LOVE beef stew noodles and I'm on a quest to find the best one on the island). Although you can pick from a sml,med, or lg pho, mine was only one size (but it looked like it was a medium). The broth was a little thicker than the pho broth which I actually thought would be perfect to dip bread in (the soup can come with either bread or noodles) and it had hints of lemongrass and the basil was already in the broth which was cool that I didn't have to do it myself. There was A LOT of huge chunks of beef in my soup, so much in fact, that I couldn't finish all of it.. and that never happens. But, once again, most pieces were fat or had a small amount of meat and then the rest fat. The beef was tender this time as opposed to when I got the oxtail pho. The spring rolls were good, but I found it odd that for 4 pieces they gave us 2 sprigs of mint, a small amount of noodles, and 2 pieces of lettuce. Overall I give it a 2.5 stars, .5 higher than last time. I just feel the dishes are lacking and quantity does not rule over quality. And the service is also weird. I don't expect much, but it's odd that food comes out whenever it's ready and regardless of whether you ordered an appetizer or not you might get it with the meal, or in today's case, we got it after they brought out only my bf's pho so while he was eating his pho I was left with only the appetizer, waiting for mine to come out... after he was almost half way done. So, unless I'm desperate because every pho restaurant is closed on the island, sad to say, case closed, I'm not a fan of this place. But to each their own, and what may be yucky for me may be yummy for you! Happy eating!

    The service here is horrible and the Pho isn't that good but they are open late which is good for everyone who craves Pho after drinking. Clean and open floor plan while being situated in a great location. Last place I would choose to eat at and I LOVE PHO!

    After getting alcohol poisoning at Oceans 808, I couldn't eat anything and keep it down (is this TMI?). My mom offered to cook me a stockpot of pho, but I just wanted one bowl--and I didn't want her to make stock for half the day (pho is intense!). So off we went to Pho 777. I should've known that this restaurant wasn't very good because although it was busy, no one finished their food--and it wasn't due to the portion size. My parents and I ordered three different soups (pho, hu tieu and chao), all of which left us wanting less. It's not that I expected the pho to taste magical, but it didn't even touch mediocre--I couldn't finish the noodles, let alone the broth. There's one dish here that I can't find anywhere in Hawaii, though, and it's bot chien (literally, fried dough). It's fried rice cakes with a fried egg on top and served with sweet soy sauce. This is neither a must-have nor a healthy item, but I find it comforting having eaten it when I was young in Vietnam. It's like mac salad--you love it if you're from Hawaii, you're mystified by it if you're from anywhere else. But even the bot chien couldn't keep me coming. It's just a side after all--I only revisit pho-nomenal places.

    Would have given their new Hawaii Kai place 5 stars except I was waiting until 10:30 for them to open. The sign says, "10 to 10" and a young man was sitting outside who said, "I'm waiting to go in too." Turns out he's an employee. Cost was not too overpriced especially since Vietnamese food uses fresh exotic ingredients. I ordered a ban mi, an ox tail soup and a spicy beef pho. I bought only the ox tail soup for myself and gave the other food to my nephew. He said that the beef pho made him sweat and he never mentioned the ban mi which was filled with char siu according to the worker when I bought it. My oxtail soup had to wait in my car for 1 and a half hours because of some unforseen delays and I was ravenous by the time I opened the container. It comes with rice but my new doctor may be reading this so I didn't eat it. Heady, spicy, shiitake-y, sweet and honestly, I was surprised it was still hot! Props to those foam containers which still need to have tighter lids. You know if the a specialty ethnic broth isn't good the dish is ruined for me. The ingredients are of equal importance but to start out with the aroma of this brown, clear broth beckoned. It did not disappoint. Just enough salt and redolent with herbs and also celery used so sparingly, it scented the soup with a licorish-y touch. The shiitake mushrooms were plump and plentiful. The ox tails themselves were an OK amount but not trimmed of fat which was soft, white but inedible. Cuz my doctor may be reading this. This of course is just a preference but I do not like my oxtail sawed in half. I suppose they do this to get to some of the flavorful marrow but I always scrape and almost cut my mouth while trying to chew, suck, nibble, on it......as it should be. I'm more fond of the soft, grisly, cylindrical cut joints that just fall apart when you stare hard at it. The meat in this wonderful soup was fall off the bone soft and delicious! For about 10 dolla, this is a decent sized meal if you include the rice, which I didn't. But I suppose for normal sized folk with no carb issues, with the rice it would pretty much be a belly buster. I didn't take the time to smell the rice to see if it was jasmine, my one true love. Next time (and this is definitely a do over for me) I'll check. And if it IS INDEED jasmine rice, my dear doctor can go bang his head against my chart.

    I chose to come here one night, because of the awesome reviews I've heard about this place, plus they're open until 2 in the morning, and I was wanting pho at midnight. First of all, they have a pretty good selection of beers, something a lot of pho places don't have, so that's a pretty good thing. They also have a menu filled with a la carte items, pho, rice plates, appetizers, vermicilli, etc. etc. So you can get other things, if you're not craving pho. I ordered the pho combo, and tried some of the vegetarian rolls. They were okay...I would give them three stars just based on food, however, just everything around us just made the meal bad. First of all, they took a WHILE to get to our table to take our order. I believe there were at least three tables that walked in after us, that had their orders taken before we did. The servers in the restaurant seemed to talk to us in a condescending tone, and even the looks they gave us were...just...you know. Just because of that, I don't know, the food just seemed to taste worse than it actually was. Now, I feel so negative, as I hate writing bad reviews, and plus all my yelp friends that have reviewed this place gave such good reviews on Pho 777. But I can find better food, with much better service at other pho restaurants on the island!

    Went at about 5pm after I got off work with my boyfriend, we were the only ones there... slightly concerning. We both ordered pho, I got mine with rare steak and beef balls. First off the plate of fresh spices and veggis was DISGUSTING. The basil (both kinds ) were terribly spotty and shriveled up, even looked like they might be a little dirty and they were very stingy with the portions they put on the plate. Our pho came out quickly, so I guess that might be a plus. Basically all I can describe the soup as was pho version of instant ramen. The broth tasted like they used bullion cubes, and the disproportional large mound of noodles they used were very low quality and had an odd consistency. The steak was horribly tough and chewy and I kept getting lots of pieces of inedible cartilage in my beef balls that I had to spit out. It is food, thats about it. boo.

  • Alex N.

    Food here is pretty decent for a pho place so that's a plus. Customer service on the other hand is horrible. The manager or who I think is the manager is rude and very stingy. He denied us extra peanut sauce for our Summer Rolls when he ran out and said that he gave us enough. Water never gets refilled on time and orders take forever even when not busy.

    If you are in Honolulu, near Ala Moana and you're looking for decent Vietnamese food, this is your place. I come here at least two to three times a month. Sometimes I would get the Bun Jah Yo, which is a bowl of spring rolls, pork, veggies, and vermicelli noodles. This dish is very refreshing with a little bit of cold and fried ingredients combined. The other menu item I normally order is the fried fish, number sixty. I love how they deep fry the fish with diced garlic and ginger and fresh onions on top to go with a bowl of rice. I literally finish the entire fish by myself down to the bones. When you leave the restaurant, you are not blotted or stuffed. You feel just right and lighter than normal American restaurants. The flavor is unique, but I guarantee you'll take your hot asian girlfriend here on a date. Gam Ho!! =P

    Ate here with the broseph on a lazy sunday afternoon. Ordered the pho tai? Large, steak on the side and some summer rolls. He had the same, with spring rolls. The summer rolls were larger, not too tasty, not too fresh. The summer rolls were crunchy but small. Tasted like they had bought them from costco and tossed em in the micro.. Pho was terrible. The noodles were overcooked, fat, and soft. They hardly gave any steak either.. Terrible portion sizes. Family atmosphere, clean, but the service was slow. Had to ask for water refils several times and they weren't busy at all.. 30bucks for that? No bueno. No mas. Go eat regal diner downstairs instead...

    I go here weekly. That being said its not bad... but I will admit it aint fuhssnking great. I used to come here all the time because one of the servers here loves to hit on girls and its enjoyable to watch. But nonetheless food is eh, water service is ok better then some places... its just its easy to flag down the servers. Its open late which is probably the best thing... always a great place to stop by after a closing shift! The pho is good for the price it cost I usually only spend about 7-9 bucks here so a yummy cheap meal! I love mccully shopping center too so maybe if u go with friends you can lure them into the purikura booths. Ya the drinks r kinda expensive I usually dont order them here... I rather spend my money downstairs at coffee or tea! But ya this place is pretty g not amazing but still good. Late night pho rulez

    Although the pho broth is tasty, customer service is quite terrible. We waited at least 10 minutes until we could place our order. Two separate parties who entered the restaurant 5 minutes after we did were able to place their order before us. They received their food before we did, too. It took some time for the waiter to bring us our water and refill the spoons and little dishes that are left on the table. Since they took too long to refill the spoons and dishes, I reached over to the closest empty table and grabbed them from there. If you're craving for pho during late hours, then this is the place to go. I believe they close at 1am. Just don't expect good customer service. I

    I was craving pho the whole day yesterday and my hubby finished work at 10pm so we decided to try this place out because it's the only place that serves pho that late. Service was good. As soon as we chose a table, someone came to bring us water. We had to wait less than 5 minutes for someone to take our order. Our food came out pretty fast. We both ordered #11 w/the beef inside and fried spring rolls. The spring rolls were good. I would recommend it. The pho was OKAY. The broth didn't really have taste and they used thick noodles. I prefer thin noodles that most restaurants use. For that reason, I don't think I would eat here again...

    Pho warms my heart and my belly! I love eating pho! My friends and I would agree that some of the greatest pho joints are usually hole-in-the-wall places or in a tiny nook in a busy area somewhere. For me, pho places are usually 'hit or miss'. Unfortunately, this place was a 'miss'. I came here with my sister and my niece. Sis was going to take me to another pho place but it was closed so we came here just to try it. The decor was the usual Asian restaurant stuff. There were plenty of booths and tables available. It was a decent-sized restaurant. It was pretty empty when we got there around 10 something in the morn but got busier later. They have utensils, napkins, and condiments available on the table. The first thing I noticed were these tabletop items. The napkin dispenser and the sauce bottles/jars were quite dirty but I didn't think too much of it then. As my niece began to "set" the table, handing out the sauce dishes, spoons, and chopsticks. I noticed the dishes and the spoons had leftover residue on them and were sticky. This was not the biz :( We had to wipe them down with napkins before use. Our food was brought to us by a silent man who didn't say anything. We had to ask twice for an extra bowl for my niece. I ordered the pho with rare steak and beef balls. I'm big on soup/broth and the broth was rather plain. Usually there are green onions, onions, cilantro, etc. I just got straight broth with a few specks of green onions. The noodles were nothing special. The beef balls were "fatty" and mushy. I also love to add spoonfuls of the spicy, orange-y "chili oil" sauce but their sauce wasn't spicy at all. I do have a few good things to say though. The spring rolls were decent, not horrible. They were crisp, with the right amount of filling. I liked that the menu offered a good variety and included many pairings/combinations for pho. Some other places I've been to usually do not offer the rare steak and beef ball combination so I have to order the beef balls separately and pay extra. Overall, a disappointment. A good bowl of pho usually hits the spot...this, unfortunately, did not.

    3 stars? I read some of the reviews, I have never had a bad experience with this place. For the most part, their staff is good. They seem forgetful, but their food is worth it. Their pho is great (multiple sizes) and their vermicelli is good too. The next time I go I will get one of their sammiches. Again, like most of the businesses in mccully shopping center, the parking sucks. If you are patient, the food is worth it. It is inexpensive and tasty.

    My friend and I just finished an intense 24Lift class where we both got owned by the pregnant instructor. We were famished. Wanting to be better to our bodies, we somehow chose pho. mmMm...MSG does the body good ;) *sarcasm* Looks are definitely deceiving here. McCully Shopping Center has some small restaurants but this one is BIG. Pho 777 is also more than just pho, it's a full on Vietnamese restaurant. Friend and I ordered the small spring rolls and two bowls of the beef combination pho. Spring roll sauce was weak. Had to soak my spring roll in the sauce to get any flavor. Our pho was okay. I couldn't finish my small bowl since I got full, probably from getting tired of eating it. I ordered a lemonade as well and it was crunchy on top from the sugar. Hey, I just worked out like mad and do not wanna do more work for a drink by crunching away on the sugar! I may come back if I'm in the area but all my friends know I'm an advocate for Pho Mai.

    Has got to be one of the strangest eating experiences I have had in a while. Keep in mind that this is a total dive located in the International Marketplace in Waikiki, so high-end this is not. My kinda place. Except . . . the staffing was simply odd. The main guy kept running back and forth in between this place somewhere else leaving his mom to work the counter AND cook. The best part is that her English was not all that good, so more than one customer had to participate in the age-old tradition of pointing and gesturing in order to order. Ever tried to sign "Halo Halo?" My point exactly. I saw what was created. Not pretty. In any case the curry chicken was pretty good, the fried rice was decent but the spring rolls that my wife ordered were gross. To top it off, the take out bowl they gave us was obviously used . . . ew. With the great number of other options in the adjacent food court, there are much better alternatives, so you might want to hit another dive.

    Service was quick, portions were pretty good, tons and tons of dishes to choose from. They also had some Chinese dishes and Cambodian dishes. Mostly Vietnamese though. When we walked in, the place was somewhat empty. Nice and airy, lots of tables and CLEAN! It's always good when you go into a place and your not afraid to touch the table. It was pretty easy for me to order even though the menu was huge. I can here for pho so I ordered pho and spring rolls of course. The spring rolls were good, they had alot of meat and shrimp. The peanut sauce however was pretty starchy, I had to add a ton of hot sauce and more hoison sauce to make it better. It wasn't as good as I'm used too. The pho came and it was very quick, they give you a very good portion of meat and noodles. Most places it's mostly noodles and broth. This is the only place that I've ever been to that I couldn't finish the meat and noodles in my bowl. I felt kind of bad not finishing it but I was so full and about to burst! The broth was good I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but it's good enough for me to come again. The service was very quick and attentive. My water glass was never empty and they always checked in with us to make sure things were okay. A definite plus is it's open late on weekdays until 12AM and Fri-Sat until 1AM.

    I've been here a couple times and thought there pho was pretty good. BUT not as good as my fav pho place (Hale Vietnam). Pho777 is located on the 2nd level of McCully Shopping Center. Hard to miss with the brightly lit up sign. I like the fact that they have 3 sizes.. S,M,L. The small is just the right size for me since I don't eat much noodles and like drinking broth more. Service is pretty good here and never had a problem with anything. This place is good for late night pho cravings :)

  • Peter H.

    Great convenient location right off McCully Plaza. Great authentic Vietnamese food in addition to their specialty, pho. Great mix of menu items. This is certainly one of the better Vietnamese locations in Honolulu. However it just doesn't match up to San Fran, Seattle, or other great cities offering much higher grade Asian food.

  • Lee H.

    The Pho has that cinnamon smell that some may not like. I didn't taste it in the soup, but my wife who doesn't like that cinnamon flavor tasted it in the soup. I found the large to be filling. The meat salad, I don't remember the official name, is very good if you don't mind that it is cooked pretty rare. I don't remember if it was beef or pork. I think it was beef because it seemed too rare to be pork. The egg rolls comes with noodles you can roll into the lettuce leaf. I never saw that before. I thought it was a good addition. This place is not bad, but Pho Bistro 2 is better. We went there for the salad. The better beer was $4.50 and the cheap beer was $3.75ish. One of the waiters has a quirky sense of humor that some may like while others find annoying. Parking can be a challenge at this shopping center.

    I have a friend who recently reviewed this place. She seems to hate their broth. I do not see myself picky about my pho like her. The combination pho was overall ok. Good portion, broth was fine to me. I usually load my pho with sriracha hot sauce anyway so maybe that masked their broth. I have definitely tasted better pho for a better or comparable price. Other than the pho, I have tried their chicken lemongrass. It was mediocre. The service is usually friendly but sometimes may take awhile when dining in. It's great that they're open late. If ever I find myself coming home late from work or playing soccer and am too lazy to cook, I can stroll down the street and grab a bite here. I also get 10% off here on the weekdays so that's cool.

  • Tia M.

    *Sigh* I hate writing "mean" reviews. If you see my past reviews, they all show pretty high ratings. Honestly, I don't consider myself a harda*s when it comes to food. Most things can fly. Some places are explosively awesome... but when it comes to places that give me a bad vibe--fooders, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout--I gotta yelp the truth. Disclaimer: I only tried the small size Pho with Rare Steak here. If I must come here again, I'll be sure to do an update. (I hope I don't revisit this place... sorry Pho 777.) ATMOSPHERE: 1. Blaring loud music coming from the TV. It sounded like a Vietnamese song contest or festival. Don't get me wrong; I love music, and I don't mind it at all in restaurants. But what made my eating experience a tad bit more uncomfortable was the unusually high volume. I assumed the waiter didn't want to miss the program as he was serving or something... Anyhow, this volume is not appropriate for eating. It could've been softer. 2. Clean. Bright floors. Booth I sat in was not cracked. Nice TV. Nice arrangements of figures and plants and Vietnamese decor. Didn't seem overdone. Overall, great appearance and cleanliness. FOOD: Small Pho with Rare Steak. I'm definitely a Pho person. I need it at least every couple weeks. To give you an idea of how I judge pho, here are the places I regularly go to: Pho Kitchen (in Market City) and Pho My Lan (on Maunakea St.)... I've tried 2 other places but only once or twice. It's hard to screw up pho right? a. I was given the fresh basil, lemon slice, and beansprout veggie kit as usual before my soup came. And when the soup arrived--it wasn't as hot as I normally get it. :( Blegh... b. The rare steak slices are thicker than the regular slices I get (also "rare steak", of course). The combination of steak slice thickness and soup temperature made my slices remain slightly pink. I saved the meat for later, and warmed it up at home. Yeah, I'm the type that likes the meat cooked, not TOO well done, not RAW or pink. I like to see that it cooks in the soup. c. Taste was normal. Again, it would've been better if it was hotter... but tasted okay. Didn't taste like food poisoning or chemicals. *knocks on wood* SERVICE: No smiles? No attentiveness? Unfortunately, I must vent. The main host/waiter person (manager maybe?) was the most disappointing. The service made me so unhappy, even my boyfriend noticed that I turned into an "angry girl"--his exact words. :( There were a couple people working when I came in. It was at around 5:30pm today, Friday, so it was before the dinner/late night rush hour. There were maybe 3 parties of about 2-3 people each already there--not that crowded for them, I'm sure. He took me to the booth, gave us our menus. Only I ate, and my boyfriend just kept me company. He gave us our waters and I kindly asked to order already--was that a mistake? Does that piss waiters off, if I order early?! I asked for a container for take-out. He gave me this "what?!" scrunched up face then finally gave me a small bowl after I repeated my question. Looked like he didn't know what the heck "take-out" was. I then asked if they had a tiny container to pack some black Hoisin sauce. No "here/there you go", "sure", "mhm", smiles--nothing. He just handed it over. They aren't very attentive. I waited a moment and looked near the cash register where the two workers were talking. Nothing. So I had to walk up to ask for my take-out containers. When I returned to my seat with the containers, he quickly left us the bill several seconds after I sat back down to pack my food, saying nothing, cleaning nothing, offering nothing. Just walked away quickly. He didn't even ask if I wanted anything else. I walked up to pay the bill. I didn't get a single "Thank You"--or maybe my blood was so busy finding its boiling point that my ears couldn't function when he did cough it under his breath. Just returned my card. He failed to put two and two together and kindly give me a small plastic bag to carry my two containers out with. So I had to ask for a bag too while handing him my debit card. I had a hard time parting with a single dollar as tip. --Oh wait, it was my boyfriend who was nice enough to give up his dollar. *phew* I'm sorry Pho 777 for giving you folks a bad rating, but your worker's face told it all too. He looked frustrated with me--as if the restaurant was packed and busy--it wasn't! It made my experience uncomfortable. Bad service makes the food taste worse... :(

    YuuuuuuMmmmmmmmm. The broth is so delish at 777. Makes dealing with the McCully Center parking lot worth it. The small size is pretty big with a lot of meat and noodles. Plus for the hungrier there are 2 larger size options! The spring rolls are thin but are so good that i cant go in without ordering them! I have been there at different times but never had to wait for a table or wait long for my soup. Now i want pho!

    I love pho. Pho for breakfast, pho for lunch, and pho for dinner. I love pho on saturday. I love pho on tuesday. I love pho in a bowl. I love pho in a cup. I love pho in my jammies. I love pho in a tux. I love pho... BUT NOT THIS PHO!!!!! To be fair, I will elaborate. Let me break it down... Broth - not special not bad Noodles - I didnt think you could mess up a pho noodle, but somehow it happened. Meat - Maybe they used a purple cow?

    So....wandering around the McCully center after gorging ourselves (yet again) at Waiola Shave Ice on the other side of McCully, we felt the need to eat something....something portable and easily transported as we were walking back to our hotel. I have to say that this review is NOT for the pho...even though it smelled great sitting on the inside. I've been on a mini kick for some good banh mi of late. As it turned out, Pho 777 came to our rescue. They have one version...it's not the best, but it's good/decent. Their std version comes with the BBQ pork, a sliced processed meat and a meat pate at the heart of the sandwich - pretty classic. The usual accoutrements adorn this sandwich - cilantro, cukes, pickled veggies and the pepper. The bread was crunchy even after all the rains and humidity these past two days...so I have to give them props for that. Why's it a 3 star sandwich? The price. I don't know if it's b/c of the location or what...but $5.75 for a banh mi just seems pricey for me. I'm used to $3 versions in CA and TX...and with a bit more choices in meat. Another props go outs for having some veggie friendly items - we ordered a vegetarian spring roll with tofu. Not bad. I'd definitely come back here, but it's not something I'm craving for. I was torn...b/c I almost felt that I should have gone back to the Curry House downstairs instead. Elsewise the menu looks good, but I can't comment on those items. For now and based only on the banh mi and spring rolls, Pho 777 is A-OK....and it hit the spot even if it wasn't exactly what i was looking for. If we had a few more days, I'd give the pho a try, but the banh mi was decent.

  • Chris M.

    I don't think I'll be going back to Pho 777......well, maybe as an absolute last resort (i.e., if no other pho place within 25 miles is open), and at that only for take-out. The pho itself was ok, just edible though. If done well, pho broth should be good on its own. Here, you'll need to add lots of hot sauce/salt/pepper/plum sauce to even try to enjoy it. Oh and beware of the sticky condiment holders :-/ None of the workers speak English, with the exception of the grandma who brought the food out and said one or two words. So if you order anything that doesn't correspond to a number on their menu, you will probably have to resort to sign language. This really didn't bother me....until we were leaving and no one said "thank you". Hmph. There are several other pho places nearby. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

    Food: (3 stars) Lets be honest, when you walk into Pho 777 there are over 60 menu items. The photos on the pages are terrible and they all look the same with only slight variations between them. I had something with pork and springrolls which I ordered as "Number 31." It was flavorful but not something that sticks out. Ambiance: (2 stars) Ok, its dressed down like a family run joint. Vietnamese music dvd's on continuous loop on the tv. Rumor has it that if its not vietnamese singing, then its Celine Dion on continuous loop. In the corner a small child is playing "drums" with the clean spoons and forks. How sanitary. Thank God I used disposable chopsticks. Value: (2 stars) Hey it's $10 - $15 for food. I argue that it could be worse. I contend that it could also be better.

    Late night PHO! That's all you have to know.. For some reason, I think of pho as a late-night snack or a post-drinking meal. Thus having a pho restaurant open late is the most perfect idea ever! This place has a real authentic Vietnamese feel to it. Seems like they're flexible on the closing hours as well, too. Large menu options and great-tasting food makes this place "pho-king" great (sorry, was that inappropriate? There actually is a place in Wahiawa called Pho King, which is actually pretty good).. Location is perfect at McCully Shopping Center. Prices are great and service is good. It's hard not to like this place if you're a fan of pho. And if you're NOT a fan of pho, then what the PHO?? Man, sorry, I'm just full of bad jokes...

    Yeaaaah! Finally a great pho restaurant that's open past 9:30. Coming into this place reminded me of being back in the great Bay Area where good pho is something we take for granted. Walked in, sat down, and as soon as we saw the extensive menu we knew we were destined to get our fill of great Vietnamese comfort food. I ordered the Goi Ga (chicken salad) and it was piled high with lots of chicken and the fish sauce had a lot of spicy kick. More than I was used to actually. But it was still delicious. We also ordered the fried mochi and egg appetizer and that seriously hit the spot for some crunchy soft texture. Yum. Can't get much better than eating some salad only to negate it with fried pieces of mochi. I think the only strange thing was that the noodles in the pho were big and flat as opposed to the thin vermacelli noodles. Weird, but not necessarily a deal breaker. With a big and clean restaurant like this, I'll fight for those miniscule parking spaces in McCully shopping center any day to cure my cravings for a little taste of home.

    The meat was tough and the broth settled like miso soup. (Ew..) The noodles were the proper noodle BUT it was bloated and mushy for some reason. The coffee was delicious though. And the server was nice. Don't bother though, an even better pho place is down the street.

  • Sandy S.

    I love this place. Probably one of the better ones here in hawaii. I ordered the cold vermicelli w/pork and shrimp. The pork was very tasty...marinated very well. My friends ordered the pho and they said it was also very delicious! Service was great! It's probably a family-owned business...that's why it's soooo great!

  • Nicole N.

    I don't have a lot to say about this place other than the Pho here is DISGUSTING!! The broth is HORRIBLE! It's one of the worst Pho I've ever tasted in my entire life other than this other place in Reno! I'm Vietnamese and my mother is an amazing cook plus I've ate Pho when I was living in Vietnam so I know how the authentic Pho taste like. To be honest, I'm not very picky when it comes to my food...or my Pho. haha However, this is totally different. The broth and beef balls were nasty as hell...It's just out of this world. I'm never coming back to this place ever again or if I do I won't be ordering their Pho. The service was okay...it's just the Pho was gross. I have to give this place one star because Yelp made me rate it but if I had it my way I would give it no stars. If you want to eat Pho don't come here and save your money.

    Pho 777...perfect afterwork hangout spot...BYOB!!! place is cute but ghetto! Most of the staffs here are also attending KCC for their ESL( English as second language) program...I must say! they are doing extremely well : ) Overall, good pho! Happy feasting

  • Tinamarie L.

    This is my go to place for pho. I have a sensitivity to MSG and know instantly if a place uses it. Either pho 777 doesn't use MSG or they don't load it up like other places. Agree that service sucks most of the time, but it's a pho shop. I'm there to get my bowl of pho and it really doesn't bother me that the people that work there don't want to make conversation.

    168/365 Overall, a 3.5 because the food was about a 4 but the service was slow and inattentive. I came here with my friend around 8:30 and the place had a good amount of people and not crowded so that was good as we did not have to wait. We seated ourselves and it took awhile to be handed our menus and for them to take our order. I like that they have a very wide variety of vietnamese dishes and not just pho and the typical spring and/or summer roll apps. Going in I knew I wanted a nice hot bowl of pho so I got the rare beef and it was nice of them to ask if I wanted the beef inside or out. Also, since I was coming from a long day of clinicals and work, I definitely need some caffeine so I decided to try their iced coffee. For $4.25 or so it was quite a small portion. My small bowl of pho was $7.50+ tax and that was a good size for me. Upon seating I was happy to find that they had my favorite chili garlic sauce. The wait wasnt too bad but my bowl came Way before my friend's dish. He ordered the short ribs which made sense that it would have taken a while but it surely did take a LONG while so it would have been nice if they brought our dishes the same time because it is common courtesy to wait till the other person gets their dish. Overall, the broth was good and thats pretty much the main thing with pho. It had a good, flavorful beefy flavor and did not taste watered down at all. Their iced coffee was alright, I think it was just a little too bitter for my taste compared to the other once i've had. Also, the only gripe for the rounded down 3 stars was because service was not very attentive and took them forever to help us and finally get our check. Otherwise, i wouldnt mind coming here again and trying more dishes. Its also a plus that they dont close till 2am for all those party people :-P.

    Pho 777 is amazing! I moved here from CA two years ago, and have been looking for pho that taste similar to my spot in Oakland. I have found a place that actually makes the broth with all the proper spices and is not chix to lay it on! Werrd up Pho 777! Also, I was able to dance de ballroom with the owner! He put his hand out and spun me! The pho tai is bombers (broth super tasty and noodles not overcooked), BBQ Chicken amazing, and the papaya salad was fantastic. Enjoy, and have fun.

  • Tanny Y.

    It's a pretty big place. We love the flat screen TV that displayed Vietnamese artist. It was entertaining to watch. Our waitress was super nice. We ordered the beef and meatball Pho, pork chop over rice, and vermicelli. The pork chop dish was the bomb! Not so much of the meat.... but the damn rice was the best rice I had ever had. It was soft, but had texture in some part. It had scallions over it... I don't know... I would come back only for the rice!! Stupid rice!! adding on to my carbs. ha ha Our bill was under $25

    Had the Pho Combo ($9ish) and spring rolls. Portion size was large, service was great and price was reasonable. Not the cleanest restaurant in the world but good enough for me. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal!

    OMG why are the reviews here so low? I'm an original Vietnamese gangsta from Little Saigon and I can tell you this place is authentic and ono. I had the Bun Bo Hue which is a spicy beef noodle soup from the Central region of Vietnam. The one I had here was one of the best I've ever had. The prices here are slightly on the higher side, but still normal for Hawaii (about $8 for a large bowl). There was actually Vietnamese people here, which is always a positive sign. It's also open late, so come on down. Be adventurous and try something besides the pho for once. Bun Bo Hue. True Story: I saw a woman send back a plate of bean sprouts because it had a hair on it. The server picked it up, walked toward my table, caught my eye, walked behind me, turned around, placed it on my table, and then rushed away. Lucky for him my partner and I love hairy bean sprouts. They have choke vegetarian options and I did not taste any MSG.

    I can get down with the pho. I don't crave it often so I don't ever really consider myself an aficionado...The pho here left something to be desired this time. I got pho ga and I really wish I had gotten the steak instead. The service was really crappy here and really inattentive. That sort of bummed me out. Especially because there were only 3 other people in the restaurant :( LAME.

  • Stacey S.

    Okay, 6 things; Price: Good Service: Really good Restaurant place itself: Simple but clean.. kinda plain though.. And they arent too small. Food: Pretty good. The flavors do mix well. Time: Open pretty darn late. Parking: If you dont like driving around either upstairs or downstairs for a little bit to search or kinda tight stalls, find some street parking.. My usual order when coming to a pho place, which is the order I always come for this place is that Beef Noodle Soup, Spring Rolls and Lemonade.. Between me and a friend, our meal comes out to about $22.. We get the 6 spring roll plate, and the rolls themselves are pretty big, and then we get the large pho and I get an extra bowl and we split it.. Pretty cheap and very good. The service people are very nice and prompt.

  • June K.

    I'm not Vietnamese nor have I ever been to Vietnam so I'm not sure how authentic this pho place is, but it's good to my taste buds. I always get combo #17. Most days I go for the small, but if I'm really hungry, I'll get the medium. They give an abundant amount of fresh bean sprouts and greens. The food is fast although the service may not always be depending on whether you're there during peak hours or if there is enough help to go around. Tables are sticky sometimes, so are the seats. What's great about the place is the air conditioning is blasting when you eat hot pho, so you don't sweat up a storm.

  • Jaynie K.

    The food is good, but I'm really starting to get annoyed with the craptacular service. Minus a star. New flavorite: Green papaya salad with pork and shrimp! It's ACE! Crunchy shredded papaya dressed in a tasty zingy sauce, topped with cooked shrimp and thin slices of pork. Onion/garlic chips sprinkled on top, and mmmmm! But yeah... the service is BALLS. Distracted servers who ignore you and are too busy socializing or hiding behind the counter=lame.

    i looooooooovvvvvveeeeee PHO! did i mention i love pho?! one of the besties and i came to grab dinner one night. we got sat quickly, but waited kind of long to order. our server seemed really nice so the wait wasnt too bad. i got the medium #16, she got a small beef ball (i forget what number), and we shared an order of summer rolls. oh, and i told her how i had gotten hooked on thai iced tea, so we got a couple of those too. my take on the food: the summer rolls were pretty good, and the veggies inside were nice and crunchy. their peanut sauce was ok. but i enjoyed their pho! mine came with beef brisket, tripe, and tendon. i have to say that i liked that their tendon came out in huge chunks as opposed to wimpy looking pieces i have gotten from other pho places. i tend to adulterate my broth with hoisin sauce (for sweetness) and chili oil (for heat) and a squeeze of lemon (for acidity). i loaded it with a ton of beansprouts, thai basil and saw leaf herb (my fave pho greenery). i got full halfway through my pho and it was medium! wth? i picked out all the meaty goodness and slurped up as much soup and noodles as i could before feeling my jeans slightly beginning to cut off the circulation to my midsection. fail. the thai iced tea tasted good too. i got my friend hooked on them now. their prices are very reasonable. for our meal and teas, it came out to around $28. plus, they are the ONLY pho place open late at night, which is perfect to soothe my pho cravings... which i crave every day. i literally could eat pho every day. is that bad? have i mentioned how much i love pho?

    Well, I did it. I went back. We got a late night pho/vietnamese food craving and this was one of the only places that was open late (til 12am on weekdays it seems). I shouldn't have expected much...true our waiters didn't speak english but we were able to order - they were quick to take our order...about 10 seconds after we sat down the waiter was eagerly awaiting, but I personally needed to look once more through the 6 or so page menu (I was starving...i needed food porn and their menu has some nice pictures). The partner got a big bowl of pho, and I ordered the usual...the vermicelli noodles with roast pork and spring rolls (ah yes, spring rolls, the vehicle for the delicious condiments served with vietnamese food). And as we waited...waited...waited...and waited...I made some observations. Our table - no napkins, one spoon, only a few condiment dishes (which we used up...i require 2). Water came out after we ordered and asked for it. One of the waiters was in slippahs and a beater. And we still waited. Finally the pho came out, but that lovely side of sprouts/basil/lime/jalapeno was nowhere to be found. Waiting, waiting waiting, the guy finally brings it out, apologizing. Partner starts to eat, is in a sharing mood and gives me a beef ball, and I start munching on the sprouts....waiting...waiting. About 20 minutes later my vermicelli noodles come out, brought by a woman in the back, again, very apologetically. Finally food - but no napkins. I try to get someone's attention but they like to look at the floor with blinders on...then i realize they're just at the other tables and grab some. We finish our meal...and then wait wait wait and wait for our check. Even after attempts to catch a server's eye...and then I suppose customers are to walk up to pay?? I wasn't sure, but i did, since nobody acknowledged the bill fold thing sitting at the end of the table. I walk up to the bar/cash register, and stand there...2 feet away from the guy dealing with the payments...who never looks at me...for about 5 minutes. No acknowledgement...nothing. Finally, takes the billfold thing, and I'm able to put an end to the experience. To note, the customers sitting at the next booth over didn't get to even order until the partner got his food - about 30 mins after we ordered. I think they were forgotten due to their seating arrangement or something. The Food was pretty good...tho one can't go wrong with what i usually order, i'm a sauce whore anyway and am addicted to chili sauce and sriracha so...yeah. Oh well...late night craving fixed. Maybe it will be another year or so before, and if, I ever venture back.

    ok so after the 1st review i got in the mood and skooted over. raised eye brow moment of the night my partner orders a mixed nut sweety drink some drink dessert hybrid. just before the server is putting it down on the table, he says "you CANNOT return!" wtf? who returns a drink AND who says that?

    Ordered the Cold Vermicelli w/spring rolls & bbq pork which was awesome because there were so much meat and I Luuuv meat. The spring rolls were good and tasty. I just couldn't believe how generous they were with the meat. At the same time I also ordered a small pho w/slices of rare steak. The pho broth tasted good and again the meat portion was generous. The service was kinda of slow but the food and service were great! I think I will be back here again trying other stuff on the menu.

    i come here after work, these guys are good they know me and my coworkers very well that they know our usualls. I love their combination pho. And the iced coffee with condensed milk awesome. This place is a good late night pho place and is the only pho place in Hawaii that closes very late at night. Go ahead and try it, I recommend this place to all my friends and they loved it to. I work at a hotel and send guest here when they ask for Vietnamese places.

  • Cheryl K.

    Pho. Or as my best friend who's significant other is Vietnamese corrects me as sounding like FUH. I must admit that I am biased. I dearly love Japanese food so when I eat Pho it tastes a little bland (must be the lack of dashi). Anyways this Pho place was actually pretty good. I had the chicken Pho. The prices were great and the restaurant was clean. Cleanliness is extremely important to me. But overall pretty good experience and will try something different the next time we go.

    It's in McCully Shopping Center. And everyone knows how bad the parking can get here. But, if it's worth anything, the pho is pretty good. Not the best, but close. For me, they use of the thicker noodles was a bad choice. I rather have the thinner ones. But what made up for it was the soup and the meat in it. Very good broth, and good beef. Plus the service was pretty good too. Always walking around and quick with the water. Plus, she was a cute one.

  • Lisa M.

    My family and I went here after driving around looking for something to eat for dinner. I have a cold and wanted a nice hot bowl of pho and this place did not disappoint. I had no idea it was at this shopping center because I only go here for phucket thai or coffee or tea. Anyhow, the pho was great and we got it rather quickly. I agree with other reviewers that the service was relatively slow. I had to stare down the waiter to get him to give me my bill. Other than that, the food was great and the place was very clean.

  • Blane N.

    By far, my favorite Pho restaurant on the island. I always get the large pho with rare steak (outside) and a thai iced tea. Tasty broth and always lean thin sliced meat (round eye) is a plus. Their lemon beef salad is soooo good as is the green papaya salad. Service may be a little slow depending on who's working the floor, but overall, a fantastic place. Lots of parking and late hours = WIN. Hits the spot every time. Highly recommended!

  • Ira K.

    I have been going here monthly or bi-monthly for at least 2 years. It is my pho spot. The service is good enough. I never had a problem with the staff, but I go for the pho anyways. The food comes out pretty quickly most of the time, especially for pho, since all pho is premade by default (takes a day to cook). I tried pho on Waialae Ave. and Keeaumoku, before finally settling on Pho 777, mostly due to proximity to my home. But also because the pho isn't too sweet like some other places I've tried, mostly on the Mainland though (not Waialae or Keeaumoku, they make good pho too).

  • Meep M.

    I have been back to this restaurant many times after writing my first review (since it's very convenient) and I must say that I've changed my opinion about this place. I always get the pho with rare steak (outside) and brisket. The brisket doesnt have a lot of fat and they give you a good amount of meat. The broth itself has a stronger star anise taste then most pho restaurants, but I actually like it.

    (4)

  • Gabby V.

    The pho here is tasty and the food comes really fast! And I like how it's open late in case I want to have pho before a late night study session like tonight. I think this is the only pho restaurant I know that is open past 9pm, even on sundays. It's always a good experience eating here.

  • Young Mi K.

    The pho and summer roll here is pretty tasty. I've tried both the seafood pho and the vegetable pho. The shrimp balls in the seafood pho are awesome! The vegetable pho is a bit blah--I'd rather get a plain pho with just noodles. The mint, mung bean sprouts, etc. are fresh and cleaned well. My husband tried the chicken curry with french bread and LOVED it so much that he ordered the same thing when we went back two days later. Like others reviewed, however, Pho 777 service is bad.

    one of the only pho restaurants that's open late in hawaii. everything here is like your typical pho restaurant, nothing makes you go oohh wow. service can be better sometimes cuz i ordered an iced coffee and i didn't get it. but the pho and cold vermicelli are really good. i recommend the cold vermicelli with spring rolls and pork.

    i won't go back. it wasn't awful or anything but it wasn't very good. theres probably a million pho/ramen restaurants on the island so a place really needs to step their game up if they want to be memorable. this place was just OK and it took foreeeeever to get my bill after i ate. no thanks.

  • Dong D.

    Probably my worst dining experience... ever. My friend and I walked in at about 10PM to a half empty Pho 777. Standing near the entrance for about 2 minutes, we received no greeting as we waited to be seated. Then the cashier, apparently waved us in to sit anywhere. As soon as we were seated, the bus boy tells us we can't sit there, even though the restaurant was half empty, then moves us to an extremely small table. After having sat for about 10 minutes or so, someone finally comes up to take our order. After another 10 minutes, our water comes. Then after another 15 minutes, our food finally comes. The pho is nothing special; there are tons of different pho joints that are better (the broth was lukewarm and the noodles weren't fully cooked). My 11 dollar lemongrass chicken plate came with an extremely small bowl of rice and when I asked for more, the server gave me this glare and charged me $1.25 for it. Our water was never refilled, no thank you's, sorry's, or smiles; just angry workers(they give Vietnamese people a bad name). Come on now, how hard is it to put on a smile. All in all, food sucked, terrible service, and a long wait. I wouldn't recommend this place.

    I would never go back to this place again. The service was extremely slow. It took nearly 15 minutes to order. I had to ask for water, spoon and veggie. Summer roll was bland, and the peanut sauce has no taste. Pho broth had no flavor. Since I didn't have a saucer to put hoisin & hot sauce together, the meat had no taste. It was no comparison to Pho one, good food & fast service. I thought of walking out at least 3 times.

  • Maiko K.

    Horrible x100! The quality of service is what makes the meal appetizing. The service was definitely the worst. The waiter would not fill all of our cups with water, he gave us attitude, the place was not clean, and he starts cleaning our table while we're still eating. We didn't feel rushed at all (sarcasm)... Never coming back

  • Jennifer R.

    Whenever we are hungry for Vietnamese food, we think of Pho 777 right away. The food here is good and staff are friendly, and sometimes funny! :) Their Pho is phenomenal! I make sure I taste the 'untouched' soup (because it's already soooo good!) before i put all the ingredients to make it an even better Pho! My bf always orders pork with shredded pork (lol) in vermicelli, but substitute it with white rice because it's more awesome that way. It even comes with a side of crispy spring rolls! Amazing! I am also a fan of their Thai Tea - which is always refreshing. I've been coming here for few years now and I am coming back for more!

    My older brother suggested we have Vietnamese in the McCully Shopping Center on Kapiolani Blvd for lunch - spring rolls and pho were tasty, but Pho Bistro 2 still mo' bettah, I think! Restaurant was very clean and service was prompt, and there was lots of parking (check out the underground garage) despite the noon lunch hour. Lots of places to eat in MSC, so maybe next time we'll try Cantonese, Thai, or the hot pot restaurant.

  • Tasha T.

    I absolutely love Pho, and this place has a good tasting broth. The meat is appealing & delicious (I always order it outside of the soup). The overall experience hits the spot! Location at McCully is also great. Clean restaurant with good service. However... OMG what happened to the SUMMER ROLLS?! EEK! I am very discontent with them. The shrimp tasted funny and the peanut sauce was pretty horrible because of its strong vinegar flavor (which was not what I was expecting from PEANUT sauce). Boo :( Perhaps order spring rolls instead.

    (3)

  • Jeanie Y.

    My favourite pho, for sure! I love that the flavour isn't saturated in cilantro, to me that is the worst! I come here fairly often, and the taste and quality is consistent. The service is pretty fast and efficient, but if you're looking for warm friendly service, you won't find it here. That doesn't bother me at all, as long as things are prompt. Then I can get my fatassery on in peace!

    Pho 777 is open late, till 2am, which is great! since some of us work late in the restaurant/tourist industry. This place is located close to my house, so after a long night of work when I am starving and can't cook I head out here. On several occasions I have had the best pho of my life ,so I think, at literally 1am in the morning. Maybe, my taste or my thoughts aren't too critical that early, I couldn't tell ya. Some people don't like their pho but I do. Pho to me is like eating kimchee and rice w/nori wraps, loco moco, or sushi- my ultimate comfort meal. When I am starving Pho is very fulfilling, it's heart warming, it's like a soul food. A remedy for my starvation. When I am sad beef pho soothes my soul. The broth must have some kind of magic potion ! Back to PHO 777: Slow service at times, but food is always great. Pho comes with the garnishes: bean sprout, the basil, limes, jalapenos, and the grassy looking leaves ( can someone help me with the names? ). Sometimes, I order their pork chop, which is ok. But mostly, I stick with my Mixed beef PHO -Large. Never had anything to complain about. I hope I never do. I have also tried the vegetarian pho just for the heck of it. I will stick to my beef pho. This isn't the best place if you want great service but their pho is what stands out -late at night! I PHO 777 is McCully shopping center's jewel.

    I would put no stars if that was an option. I ordered a dessert drink to go and got a bunch of ice instead. When I asked the man to put a little more coconut milk, he acted like I insulted his grandmother. Never going back...

    Two infractions in one meal are a no go for me. We ordered spring rolls and found two black specks floating in our fish sauce. These were dead bugs. I ordered a small pho. In the fresh veggies that typically accompany the noodle dish, I found one very long hair tangled up on the ong choy. When I alerted the waiter, instead of taking away the veggies, he pulled the hair out of the veggies and only thought to replace the entire dish after I kept on staring. Pho was nothing special either. And at $4.50 for an ice coffee, you'd think that there would be enough to at least fill up the glass. Nope, the little saucer they gave me only filled up half of a tall glass. Most of the time I don't like to be so negative, but two in one is just gross. Who knows what the inside of their kitchen looks like? There's no shortage of good pho places in Honolulu, so avoid this place if you can.

    I don't really know big differences between the pho's that I eat at other restaurants, so to me, this pho was just fine. The broth was really good and it came out fast. For a small, it's an average of $8. The main reason why I gave this place two stars is because of the customer service. I don't think I've ever experienced something THIS bad before. Me & my friend just got through eating and the guy immediately comes over and tells us to do him a favor... To go up to the register and pay. I was like, okay.. Thanks? It's whatever. I didn't really mind that cause we can go pay when we please. BUT! He sticks around and starts fixing our table WHILE we're still sitting there. Pushing the napkins back to its place, adjusting the spices, and what not. We were kinda set back in our seats like, wtf? He was all up in there as if we weren't there anymore... So after that we get up and my friend pays for hers first. After she's done I'm next right? So I stand there and the two guys behind the register completely ignore me for a good 30 seconds. Just talking story. Talk talk talk. I honestly thought of just walking out cause they weren't even paying attention. But I believe in good karma, so I grabbed their attention and asked to pay my bill. BUT GET THIS! As he's putting in the total, taking my card, swiping it, and what not, he's talking to his coworker the entire time. He did not make eye contact with me not once. I have never In my life witnessed that before. I'm a customer and he's multi tasking by helping me and talking to his coworker. I'm not even exaggerating when I say his entire body was faced away from me the whole time he was doing my bill. I can not believe it. Nice job dude. I should've went back to the table and took my tip back cause they sure as hell DID NOT deserve it. So upset! with the customer service I received.

    The rolls and pho here are amazing. I tried the pho with oxtail and the vermicelli with bbq pork... wow. The pho was fatty and hard to take a break from(broth #onpoint). The vermicelli was ah ma zing and fulll of flavor. Spring rolls were perfectly cooked. But I wouldn't order the summer rolls again boring...(maybe not my thing,anymore?). The creative menu features porridges and tons of duck dishes as well. I look forward to trying the rice and noodle dishes here (great selection!).

    Despite having only 3 stars, my bf & I decided to eat here anyway because our 2 preferred pho spots in the area were closed for vacation. We made a huge mistake. Bad service, bad food. The place was packed & the workers seemed rather stressed & confused but I thought that might be due to an influx of customers with no other pho place to go. We walked in & were told by a young guy that there would be a 20 min wait. So we waited out front a while before noticing that other ppl coming in after us were actually being seated. We walked back in & some older guy sat us right down, came back to slam some waters down, then disappeared. After about 10 minutes, we had to flag a waiter down to take our order. The food came out rather quickly but was extremely disappointing. I always order the same thing at every pho restaurant: rare beef with well done flank. I purposely avoid the chewy (cheaper) parts of meat... but that was unavoidable here. They gave me so much cartilage/fat that I ended up with more "meat" in the discard pile than in my belly. Even my bf's beefball was about 50% fat gel. Shortly after we got our food, the table next to us became empty & an older guy from the back wheeled his bus boy cart over & literally parked it right behind my seat. As I sat there trapped, blocked in with nowhere to escape, he began tossing (yes tossing) used dishes & utensils into the cart that was right behind me. My bf & I had to stop our conversation for the *plomp* & *thwack* sounds of the dishes slamming into the plastic bins, all while my back got splattered & splashed by used crumbs of food from other ppl's dishes. I left here hungrier, dirtier & $37 poorer then I walked in. Never returning.

    Am I the only one here that always gets "something special" in my food? First the roach and hairs in the house sandwitch. Not gonna lie my bf orders the house sandwich a lot and about half the time we get a hair in it, just one (long one). But I got one to go and when my bf started eating it he found a white hair in it, when he checked about 5 more were found.... are they plucking white hairs out of old lady's heads? GROSS. It was too late to return it because maybe half was eaten. (Gag*) Sadly this was the last straw and we are no longer coming back here. Only reason we would is because I like that one sauce with the spoon in it, don't know anywhere else they have it. Actually the only reason we still go there.

    I don't eat Vietnamese food so I am writing this on behalf of my wife. We have been here few times and actually every time we visit the island always eat here, food taste good everything looks clean and service is great, only thing they just little cheap about giving you fresh green. I bring food from outside so I can eat with my wife and they do not mind that.

    Simple and cozy place. Always 1 woman show doing all the service. She still sweet lady tho, how busy this place are, she still smiling and taking my order. Pho not bad and delicious but my preference their rice and fried lemongrass promfet..

  • Lily N.

    This restaurants pho is okay it's not like the best I've ever had its not too oily . They have quite a variety of stuff but quality isn't like the best of the best . I normally get the chicken rice porridge and it comes as a bowl of rice porridge and on the side a plate of Vietnamese chicken salad topped with kinda spicy fish sauce . I think the salad is delicious and the rice porridge is pretty good kinda salty but has flavor . The customer service is sometimes okay sometimes they take like 20 mins to even take your order because it's so busy but it really depends on when you go there . Price point is moderate . If you're looking to go to eat really good pho with all your friends then maybe this place isn't the place to go

    My mother asked if I wanted anything from McCully Shopping Center and I told her that I was craving pad thai. I assumed she went to Phuket Thai. She comes home and I open the takeout container to find a bland-looking pad thai with shrimp. I'm already not impressed. One bite is all it takes for me to not crave pad thai anymore. There was no flavor and, just as I assumed, the noodles were unbearably chewy and bland. The shrimp also weren't deveined...I was completely disgusted by what was in front of me. I tell my mother that Phuket Thai has really gone down in quality and she says that she didn't go to Phuket Thai! Turns out that she went to Pho 777 on accident. Now I understand why the pad thai was shit.

    Just pretty average overall. The waiters took a while to bring out waters and take our order. The food was just alright. My pho was rather bland. If you are craving noodles when you are in McCully Shopping Center, I think Yotekko-Ya ramen is a better option.

  • Nicholas L.

    First, there is one considerable red flag. I've seen bugs in the restaurant on two occasions. If you can find a way to look past that, and I don't blame you if you can't, the food is actually really good. Hopefully they fix or have fixed the bug issue; the last time I was there, it was before Hawaii's most recent health code rating system. So if you see anything other than an "A" rating, then buyer beware. But back to the food. The phos are outstanding! I hate getting chicken at are some places where the meat is clearly composed of dark, ligament laden, rubbish cuts. At Pho 777, they use the good white meat from the breast. The broth is outstanding and the veggies are always fresh. The beef pho is great as well. I've always had good experiences eating there rare steak straight from the plate into my hot broth. The rice dishes are also a great addition to change up the normal pho selection. They are open late, so often times, its really the only place open to get spring rolls and pho late night. The service is just ok, but I don't have particularly high expectations for a place that doesn't pretend to be upscale. It's clearly a "mom-n-pops" style of restaurant where the servers are nice, not of course not classically trained. All-n-all, you get what you pay for and it high quality food relative to the price. Plus its open late, so when comparing Pho 777 to other kitchens that are also open till midnight, it becomes apparent that the restaurant is on par for other reputable restaurants.

  • Austin B.

    This place is the last resort for me. Food quality is average, and the hours are convenient, but that's all this place has going for it. Likes: It's open late. That's it. Dislikes: Service is bad. I understand that service slows down when it gets busy, but acknowledging that we will be attended to would ease some of the frustration with waiting. Also, when we finally got our food, there were no spoons on our table, and he said, sorry no spoons right now, too busy. Tables were sticky and nasty, so I splashed some water on the table and wiped it down. There are better pho places out there. Average food, above average prices and below average service.

  • Donny S.

    Came here for the first time because I was craving for Pho late at night and this place was still opened. Wasn't too busy when I went in and I just order a pho. It took over an hour for them to serve my pho, I would've just left already but my friend ordered a rice plate and although it also took long for her food to come out, it came out before my food so I had to wait for her to finish eating first. For a place called pho 777, it shouldn't be too hard to make and serve pho. The pho wasn't that great or anything either and they only gave me very little bit. They also did not check up on us at all or refill our water until we asked. I will definitely not come back here and do NOT recommend you guys to try this place either. Pro: Pho shop opened late at night Cons: Horrible customer service Not very good pho & very small portion size Have to wait an hour just to get pho from a restruaunt with pho in it's name

    Good late night spot! 3.5 stars It's a hole in the wall, the entire strip mall actually is. But when hungry and craving Vietnamese after an evening of drinks you let appearances slide for that feel good feeling (in this case a full tummy). & unlike that next morning regret of an alcohol induced hook-up (so I hear) this place will leave you still feeling happy with your decisions the next morning. The service was prompt and attentive. Prices are inexpensive. Portions are huge. We ordered a bit of everything on the menu and shared, everything tasted fresh and delicious.

    Dear Pho 777's Satay Sauce, The time has come for me to admit to you my true feelings: I have a mad crush on you. Yes, it's true. There is something about you and I crave you, I dream about you, and you don't compare to any other. To be honest, I have tried others and you are simply the best. My pho, my fried rice, my spring rolls, and my bbq chicken plate were all so yummy before I met you. But now that I have them with you, I am just not the same. You make everything more amazing than ever! Literally, I want you alone, but it looks a little weird if I don't order anything and sit there with you. I don't just like a little bit of you, I like you A LOT....if you know what I mean. I see those other temptations at the table, but none compare to you - not even close. You are the amaze-balls! Secretly Yours, Satay Sauce Obsessed

    Happy New Years gang!!!! I tried to start off 2014 right by getting in a workout, then trying to eat something healthy for lunch........... Yesterday, I look my sister & her bf to out for lunch at the McCully Shopping center. We originally tried to go to Phuket Thai, but it was closed, so we went upstairs and tried to go to Yotteko-Ya Ramen, unfortunately for us, that was closed too. Lastly we ended up at Pho 777.........this was a big mistake..........all I can say about this place is, it's PHOKING DIRTY!!!!! Besides ordering a bowl of pho, I had ordered some appetizers for us to share. My sister had suggested some kind of shredded pork summer rolls. When the waitress dropped off some small plates for our appetizers, as I distributed the dishes out to my sis & her bf, I noticed two of the plates were dirty (I should have took a picture of this). It even appeared that one dish had some kind of sauce residue on the plate which totally grossed me out! All I can say is first impressions really makes a difference, and upon seeing this, I kinda lost my appetite to eat. To top off my meal, I had a free body cleanse a few hours later..........."if you know what I mean!" The meal really cleaned me out!!!! I think I will stick to my favorite hole in the wall place - Pho Nina.

    I'm updating my review of Pho 777 because I gave them another chance. There's still one guy that's pretty grouchy, but other than that everyone else was very professional and pleasant last night. Now as for the food - the pho was good. Can you guys cook char the kalbi ribs a little? They aren't supposed to be soggy. Pho 777 isn't my favorite pho joint, but late at night you don't have too many choices.

  • Shannon H.

    Definitely not set up to handle large crowds. Came here post-hurricane iselle because of course mister has nothing besides canned food which, while nice for hurricane conditions, is definitely not an appealing option if anything else is available. Anyway, they were open despite the threat of the hurricane and because of that they were VERY busy. With only about half a dozen people managing the whole establishment, it was a little hectic and very very slow. A few issues that may have just been because of the situation..maybe. 1. There was no sign in sheet when we arrived and because of that a couple behind us was seated before we were. Since the line was so long, I was not very happy about that but didn't realize it until it was too late. 2. There were tables that could've been cleared so more people could be seated but were just sitting unattended with dirty dishes. I suspect that was because they were so busy but if they have the space then they should be able to accommodate people to fill the seats, amirite??? 3. They pushed the dirty dish cart through the dining area at one point when they cleared one of the large tables, which I'm pretty sure is not very sanitary but is also quite unseemly. The experience was two stars but I actually liked the pho and it came out really quick so overall: three stars. Would probably be better if I came under regular circumstances and I might be back for another attempt since I like good food with free parking. ;)

    I've been a fan of this place for a long long time. And every single time I'm always ordering a 17 Large. I will sometimes get a starter. It's usually the spring rolls, but this time around went after the summer ones. Go figure!! Summer time!!! The pho here has a distinct taste. Not a bad thing. Its just so different from other places. The broth is what makes the soup fabulous. So used to the taste it's why I come back. Still I wonder though if they really prepare the soup for hours at a time (the traditional way of preparing) or if they use spices wrapped in a cheese cloth (for fast kine service). Anyhow, still good soup!!! The atmosphere here is like every Vietnamese pho joint. Tables set up with booths while the tv plays music shows. I mean if this was a Filipino restaurant, TFC off course would be playing on the screen. LMAO!!!! Pho 777 ran out of their banana tapioca tonight, but the waiter was kind to check if there would be any left for me to indulge on. Surprisingly so, one was made and instead of it being cold, a fresh one was made. Not much of a dessert person, I finished the thing cause having it warm and fresh made all the difference!!!! The cleanliness of this establishment definitely needs some TLC. The restroom needs a mopping. And they also need to fill the soap, toilet tissue and paper towels. Service was always dull here. They take your order. Ok. They come back once to check if all is good. Ok. And the rest of the time your raising your hand or doing something to get their attention if u needed further service. BUT, who cares cause I know this is not some top of the line 5 star restaurant. In the end. I walk up, pay the bill and always leave at least a 10 % tip!!!

    I recently ordered their pork chop for take out. It was awful. Tasted like it was leftover pork chop from the other night. It didn't taste like it was freshly made. I couldn't eat it. All I ate was the cucumbers in the salad and had a bowl of cereal instead. It sucked because it was take out so I couldn't have them make me a new one. I've ordered this many times before to eat in and it's always good. Not tonight! I was greatly disappointed. I don't think I will be going there again anytime soon.

  • Helen H.

    I use to be a frequent here at Pho 777 but i stopped coming and now i remember why. Pho isn't that great here and service has really took a turn from when they first opened. I came here a few days ago, I got the pho with beef. The broth was just average. It just.. didn't do it for me. And the meat.. it was a little too thick and too chewy for my liking. There's really not much to say about the pho, but I've had better. My family also got the spring rolls, which i didn't eat because I had a sore in my mouth :( The Service was the worst for me. When the spring rolls came out, the waiter didn't bother getting us plates until we asked him. We never got our waters refilled, and the waiter never came back to check up on us except for the time he asked if we were done. When we said no, he just walked away and came back again in a few minutes and asked us if we were done.. Are you kidding.. So we just hurried, paid, and left. The pros.. they're open late and well, their thai tea isn't bad. Pho 777 is in McCully Shopping Center so parking is shared with all the other establishments. Finding parking on Friday-Sunday night is almost impossible for me. Honestly, I don't think I'll be coming back, not for a long long time at least.

    I thought this place was good on the prior 2 visits, however yesterday I vowed to not return. Upon entering the restaurant, I waited a good 5 mins before the woman working in the back even came out of the kitchen to acknowledge me. So, I went to the counter and grabbed a menu to see what I wanted to order. So, once she comes out, I place an order for a Pho with rare steak (small size please) and she says ok and walks away. Pho comes out and I take my time eating it. Not once did she check up on me or ask if I wanted more water. After what seemed like an eternity she walks out and I ask for water & the check. While she fusses at the register, I walk up to make it easier for her...lol. I say why is the price higher? She rudely says "because you order a large Pho". I said, no I did not, I ordered a small one. I never order a large. She then is cold and off-putting and tells me to just pay her such and such. WT?!@#@ I pay for it and on top of that still added a gratuity, not 20% mind you, however just because it is a service industry. Bad customer service and inexcusable behavior is a huge turn off for me. Seriously, I am a customer wanting to give you my money for your business and you treat me that way? I don't think so. Buh-bye Pho 777 :-(

    I am a pho LOVER but I only come here when it's late at night & no where else is open. I always order beef pho with rare steak, tendon & beef balls. The soup is ok. The noodles are ok. The meat is good. The service is ok. Like I said, I only come here because they're open later than any other pho place that I know of. I do like that they give you small, medium & large options for your bowls thought. A lot of pho places only have medium or large, or only one size.

    this is a convenient Pho place for me as it's within walking distance from my friends house. When we have a taste for some Pho we just walk to Pho 777 and avoid the headache of trying to park in the McCully shopping center. If you are driving good luck finding parking any night of the week as the parking lot is almost always totally full and backed up. They have a pretty large menu but I've only tried the Pho here and I have to say it is pretty tasty, they get the broth just right and you get a choice of some very interesting "meats". My friend gets the special meat combo and seems to really enjoy all the tendons and cartilage that it entails...I stick with the thinly sliced beef. Though the workers aren't the friendliest in the world they are fast and responsive. We usually just drink water here but they do have a bar and small selection of bottled beer. This is not the best Pho place in Hawaii but for me it's a convenient and efficient way to curb my Pho cravings, I'll continue to visit when I have a craving and am at my friends house.

    Parking is sometimes a problem..but the wait is fairly short and fast service. I love to eat the spicy beef, one of my all time favorites I can eat once a week, if can.

    Finished school at 130, decided to go on a joy ride to find a good place to eat. Ended up in McCully, coming all the way from Kalihi, and decided to come here. I had only an hour before we had to head back to school for practice... I ordered a rice plate with bbq chicken (not a big phan of pho, $10) and bf ordered a regular pho (large only for takeout, $11). Paid $22 for the both of us. Pricey!!! Got our food in about 10 minutes. Bbq chicken is good. Comes with side of pickled raddish and carrot, cucumber, fish sauce, and broth. Gotta have my broth!!! Got two huge pieces of chicken! Enough for my sister and I to share. Bf liked his pho. Came with only 4 meatballs, tripe, brisket, and a side of raw meat, which we didnt eat. Prices may be a bit too high for just two meals but not bad considering that their food was up to par as well. Might come back again if I happened to be in the area, but not if I were out on a joy ride......

    I'm so disappointed. I feel that I always give this place the benefit of the doubt, but today everything just sucked! At least before there spring rolls were decent, today was just plain horrible. & the pho, was junk (of course), but it wasn't even hot! & then the service was horrible, they took forever to take our order. We had no little sauce bowls & in the middle of when we were eating a worker came with a sauce bowl, grabbed our hoisin sauce, poured the sauce into the bowl & walked away. Wtf! The only good thing is that they're open late, if that didn't happen, they'd be outta business.

    I've been here several times now over the past few years and the service seems to get worse every time. We get sat almost immediately then wait anywhere from 10-15 minutes to have our order taken. On this most recent visit we watched as a table who got sat 5 minutes after us had their order taken before ours. My girlfriend actually got up and asked the person at the register to take our order since no one else seemed to care to. Keep in mind there were three "servers" on the floor and the restaurant was hardly busy. The food is OK, which is why I'm giving it two stars, but it's not likely I'll be returning here. There are other options in the area.

    Went there with my friend on a Friday for lunch. I wanted to order the spicy soup noodle w/ beef... I told her the number, she looked like she got the menu memorized in the back of her mind. But I was wrong. Dead wrong. First she gave me the Spring Roll Vermicelli... wrong. After I told her spicy soup noodle, not the one with SEAFOOD... guess what. She brought the one with the SEAFOOD. Wrong again. Then the dude came out asking me what I wanted and I told him. He got it. Scolded the lady and went back in. Third time, they got it right... by then it took almost 45 minutes. My friend was done eating already. Umm, FAIL?! Oh yea, the noodle was not bad.

    What better way to end a night of movie going; watching a movie about a sinister-devil-evil-foster child who kills all she touches, than heading over an eating up some hot Vietnamese soup packed with foliage, noodles and meats? After watching Case39, fellow friends, Artie T., Justin R. and Mikhail C. all headed over for the horror flick: Parking at McCully Center. The pho I ordered was really good; everyone at the table ordered something different. I wouldn't be able to tell you what I had besides the number, number 13. But aren't all Vietnamese places similar, 17,000 menu items easily identified but the number that proceeds it? My pho had meat, Justin R.'s had meat in ball form, Mikhail C. had a stir fry and Artie T. had mystery soup. Pho is pretty similar no matter where you go, Pho 777's broth was tasty and just the right saltiness. You can never have too much meat, and Pho 777 kinda skimps a little bit. The best part of the was most certainly the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk or as they put it on the menu, "hot coffee". This stuff is the greatest combination to involve coffee since Splenda. Overall the damage wasn't too bad, for four hungry guys being fed - Vietnam style. One large pho, two smalls, a stir fry and a "hot coffee" and Thai Ice Tea ended up being $50 including tip. Definitely down for a go around, and would hit up Pho 777 in the future. Nothing bad to report, except McCully Parking. At least it was free parking.

    I like their pho & spring rolls. I'm pretty picky with my food, but I guess it's hard to mess up pho. Since pho pretty much tastes the same for me wherever I go as long as I use hot sauce, the spring rolls are the differentiator for me. I would rate them higher but I saw a baby roach at the bottom of my empty bowl. :-( Gross.... but it's weird how all the "good" pho places I've been to, I've found bugs in my food. Lol, maybe the bugs provide the extra flavor? haha, jk.

    I have to admit.... the service is junk. There's a younger gentleman that works there (guessing he's family) who seem like he's forced against his will to work there and hates his job. I made a phone order for take-out and as soon as I finished ordering, he doesn't repeat it or confirms or lets me know how long it'll take, he just says, "okay bye".....so that left me wondering whether or not he placed my order??? When I got there, my order wasn't ready which was understandable since I got there early thinking he didn't put my order in. Thankfully, he did. My food came out shortly after and I wanted to use my iDcard (it had a picture of Menchies frozen yogurt in the front) for 10% off - great deal btw! So the guy takes my card, flips it over, flips it over again and tells me, "sorry, we don't accept this." i asked him if the restaurant accepts it, I mean.... there's a sticker on their door that says "we accept iDcards here" he goes on and tells me that it doesn't say McCully Shopping Center on it and that I can use it at Menchies only.... -_-' seriously? After some back and forth of trying to convince him that the picture is just a picture, he took my card to the back where an older lady came out and gave me the 10% off scolding him in Vietnamese and some English words saying that she worries about him. As I'm watching him, waiting for an apology for doubting my integrity, he bags my food looking like he did nothing wrong, no apologies. I can understand if the language barrier was between me and an older person, but this guy was young and should know better! I don't expect the best red carpet treatment at a foreign restaurant, just as long as they share my mutual respect for food for me to enjoy when I take it home, I'm happy. If my food sucked AND the customer service sucked, then my review would show no mercy. **I like the pho combination and the house special banh mi sandwich. You can only do a large order for taking out pho (which is totally fine with me) and they give A LOT of soup!!! I'd rather do take-out than eating in, just so I can eat comfortably in the comfort of my own home without waiting for someone to constantly fill up my cup of water (cuz I drink like a camel). ** I always like to order take-out and I enjoy it very much despite the customer service. I got my food, my 10% off, I'm happy. p.s. get an iDcard, you'd feel a little better ordering from this place after your discount :)

    Ordered take out. Got the vegetarian spring rolls, filling was mushy, muddy. Not sure what was in there. Won Ton egg noodle, rice noodle soup. Nowhere as good as the one at Super Pho. Lemon Grass chicken. Again, not as good. Green papaya shrimp pork salad. Oily. Never had this kind of salad that was oily. Yuck. 3 bean dessert drink. meh. Service was slow, and he put the 3 bean ice mix drink on top of the pho soup inside the bag. Not a good idea. I had to tell him to separate it. First time I ever dumped half of all dishes. Didn't want to bother wasting refrigerator space for weeks, as I contemplate whether to eat the leftovers or not... $42 down the drain.

    They suck! First off the waiter we had was a little prick! He tossed a plate in my face, was rude, and kept giving me and my boyfriend dirty looks. The food is TERRIBLE. Broth is boiling hot to the point where it burned my gums off and the spring rolls tasted like hard dog food. The spring rolls were rock hard and smelled horrible. I am NEVER going there again. I only went there because PHO BISTRO 2 was closed. I would NOT recommend this place to ANYONE!

    As you will know (or find out), parking may be a b....... This decent sized place seems to be always half filled when I come here. It is decently sanitary & cozy to dine in here. Service here can be quirky but homely. Food tastes good in their own way. Good portions for the price. Filling. Perfect rainy day spot if you have good luck with parking.

    I never intended to go to Pho 777. I had planned to eat ramen at Yotteko-Ya, but I arrived at 2:30pm when Yotteko-Ya had already closed because their lunch hours were over. Pho 777 to the rescue. They were open and had several tables with diners. I'm still something of a pho novice, so I can't comment on the authenticity or comparative quality of the pho at Pho 777, but I thought the pho I had there was pretty good (not earth-shattering). I had the pho with raw beef slices that were added to the broth before coming to the table, cooked flank steak, and beef balls. I didn't care too much for the beef balls, as they tasted too strongly of offal (was it liver? yuch). The flank steak was ok, but the raw beef slices (that had cooked in the hot broth by the time the dish arrived at the table) were very good, and I'd order that next time. There seemed to be little slivers of tripe in the broth, but while I usually don't like tripe itself, their flavor seemed to enhance the rest of the dish. The "small" order was more than enough for me for lunch -- really a lot of soup. And the plate of basil and sprouts to go with it (huge quantity of fresh basil leaves -- although it didn't really taste like the basil I am accustomed to -- wonder if it was a different herb in the basil family) was much more than I expected. All for $8. Service was fine. Would go back for more.

    I'm a little surprised that others have had such favorable reviews about this place. The decor is pleasant and quiet (half the place was empty on a Wednesday evening). But for a place with the word "Pho" in the title, I would expect that to be some signature dish for the place. As it turns out, there are a number of other Vietnamese places that make better Pho then this place. The broth tasted a little funny...certainly leaning towards something that had MSG rather than the normally rich broth I would expect of better places. The beef, tendon and beef balls were ok. Certainly nothing I would consider generous, and some of it was a little chewy and gristly. We ordered Summer rolls and that CERTAINLY was not fresh. Tasted as if it was pre-made in the morning and then they just bring it out whenever ordered. Overall I don't think the place sucked, but not a restaurant I'd go out of my way to return to

    The pho here is by far the best! We came here mid-morning, and the service was really slow hence minus 2 stars. We had to wait 20 minutes before we even got water! I'll come back for good pho...hopefully service will improve

    Pho restaurant in McCully center that I get taken to a few times. Peak times in McCully center share a high correlation with anger from finding parking. The inside is nice, clean, and good for groups. They got this big TV that's usually playing some random Vietnamese music channel and a pretty good distraction while eating. They say you feel fuller when you eat while you watch something. Total Vietnamese experience. Totally. The service... well when I go to most Asian diners, I don't really expect much more than the game faces of the servers and the mamas. At least our orders came out quickly and our drinks filled occasionally. This place has a decent selection of Vietnamese foods. Usually all I ever have at Vietnamese restaurants is pho so i can't really comment on the other dishes unless I bum some from the people I am dining with. The pho itself is decent. I love oxtail soup, but I find the portioning here a bit on the small side. :( Lots of noodles though. Feeling lucky? Try out Pho 777. That wasn't corny at all.

    One woman serving the place. My bun was ok, nothing to brag about. Oh and she forgot my iced coffee but still charged me for it so i just took it to go. If it wasn't for the poor service I would probably give it 3 stars. If you are in a rush [like I was], do choose somewhere else.

    I am no where close to being Vietnamese.. but Im from a city in California where it is predominately of Vietnamese and Mexican ethnicities. I grew up eating pho and burritos (i know, weird combination).. but i know good quality pho. This place does it! I could say it is very comparable to the pho i have tasted in San Jose. This place is clean and the service is pretty good. This is the only place I go for Pho in town.

  • Tori M.

    Two stars for this place. It's fulfilled our late night craving, but the service is always so slow! Be prepared for a wait. We didn't mind 'cuz we just wanted to talk story but it's not a good place to grab lunch if you're in a hurry to get back to the office. Obviously the pho is good, but try the mochi and egg! It's the only place on the island that I can find this particular dish. Minus two stars for *supah* slow service.

    Never again. I came here two nights ago with some friends. Service was absolutely horrible. They made us change tables twice because larger groups of people came in. In the end we were crammed in one of those booths. It took 20 minutes for our first order to come. After waiting another 20 min, my friend asked the server if his food was coming out yet. All the server said was "that's the manager. go talk to him." Turns out they missed his order. No apology either. We just finished up and left, no tip. Never again.

    My go to Pho place. This pho is pretty good. One of the better ones I've had in town. Not my favorite on the island though. This is definitely the best fried springs rolls though. If you are a Pho eater then you know what you like and too me, its the same menu for every place. I dont recall this place having sandwiches though. The place is huge and seating isnt usually a problem. Parking can suck but I live down the road so walking is a better choice. Service is alright, my water hardly seems to get refilled so I have to ask but thats if they even come around. Open late so thats a great late night choice.

    My friend and I usually go to Bac Nam but lately, we've been craving pho during ungodly hours in the morning. We discovered this place after a night out on the town and were pleased that they were open so late. The service is very slow but the pho is very similar to Bac Nam, especially the broth. I liked that they also serve plain pho just noodles and broth for $4.99 for when you don't feel like eating too much or don't have enough $ left over from your night out. One problem I had was that they never remembered the requests I put in my order. I order a small tofu pho without onions and less noodles = more broth. But they still always give me the standard pho I order with a heaping serving of noodles! But since beggars can't be choosy -when of comes to good food in the middle of the night, I don't mind too much.

    Price - its priced well and you get what you pay for which is great Taste - the broth is pretty good and the rainbow drink is made okay, I''ve always had it alittle sweeter then what they serve and the green jelly inside wasnt cut enough so it was like, bundles of them instead of strings Service - this is where they lost the star, it was a bit slow but wasnt horrible Ambiance- Clean and typical, weird thing is I was listening to "Freak Em Dress" by Beyounce while eatting my dinner...i dunno, odd to me, heh Overall- I'd come here again, its open late, its priced well and nice hot soup! YUM!

    Like the parking, the atmosphere, and prices. The food is a hit or miss. I love the house special sandwich and the spring rolls. The papaya salad was overdressed for the party, lol, just dripping with dressing is not my liking. According to my mom, the pho broth reminds her of 'salty water'. Plus, I think the noodles were over cooked, kept crumbling on her. All in all, maybe it was an off day but Pho 777 doesn't have me hooked.

    Came with some friends, atmosphere always nice as usual.. Ordered pho tai #11 and the 4 pc spring rolls and everything was delicious. I always come here when I crave pho and I bring all of my friends when I do. Always and is always filled with beautiful women. While you wait for your food you can entertain yourself by viewing one of the three big LCD TVs or connect your laptop/phone to their free wi-fi. This is one of my favorite pho places hands down.

    We just recently moved to Hawaii from CA and we've been on the search for a great pho restaurant. We went to Pho Minh Tu when we first came to visit back in June and it was horrible and felt discouraged to try other pho places. I'm not a fan of mint leaves in my pho, but Pho Minh Tu's broth just tasted like mint water with artificial beef flavoring. So 3 bad pho restaurants later we found PHO 777. When you first walk in I assumed you just sit anywhere like all the Pho placees in CA you just walk to a table and they bring you menus. i did just that and the staff complied and were courteous to bring our waters with our menus. I wasn't keen on trying another bad Pho so I opted for the Vermicelli bowl w/BBQ pork and spring rolls (#31). The wait was only 10 minutes for my order and the serving was huge. So for 9.75, I couldn't complain. It was the first time I couldn't finish a bowl of vermicelli noodles and it was delicious. My fiance ordered the beef pho, and from the looks of it, it seemed pretty good. I seconded this restaurant last night and tried the pho, and the broth was just right. NO MINT LEAVES AT ALL! The veggies were placed on a seperate plate like they should be so you can add whatever you want. The staff is pretty decent during the day, the night staff are a little goofy, but you can't beat their fast service. The restaurant is clean and you don't get that feeling of dirty food due to cheap owners. It's a little reminiscent of home. I give it 4 stars because I haven't tried other dishes, but i'll be back often. I just couldn't believe it was a drive around the corner from our condo.

    I can't honestly say I'm a Pho (pronounced "fuh?" yeah, like a question. No other way. Google it) connoisseur. I know what kind of taste I like and that's that. On that note Pho 777 (what a lucky name) is not bad. I mean for me as long as the soup is beefy, plenty noodles, get hoisin sauce, plenty of basil and bean sprouts, it's all good. Lo and behold all that was delivered at Pho 777. It's clean and pleasant inside and larger than it looks from the outside. Unfortunately located in the always crowded McCully Shopping Center. I'd try park underneath in the parking garage if you can't find one parking space on top in one go around. You get there through the ONE WAY street on the Taco Bell side of the mall.

    Honestly, the ONLY Pho Vietnamese Restaurant that's open late til 1am. I couldn't find any other place that was open beyond 10pm. We got there around midnight on Thursday and restaurant was packed! Hubbs and I both ordered steaming hot bowls of combination beef pho and were pleased to see plenty of sauce condiments, basil, bean sprouts, etc. The soup base was decent but not very flavorful. It was okay; nothing to write home about. The service was prompt and friendly despite being busy. I had a 10% off online coupon and they were fine with that. A big bonus is that the place is clean and the decor is nice. The flashy Vietnamese music videos they were showing on their TV screens made for interesting mealtime commentary.

    This place is definitely growing on me. I ordered takeout from Houng Lan Monday morning and later had takeout from Pho 777 the same evening. Even though I'm a die hard Houng Lan fan, I must say the take out from Pho 777 is better. I think it's the bolder soup stock that makes it hold up better as take-out. There's also the convenience factor. This place opens late so I can get my Pho fix last in the evening. Great place for late nate Pho or take-out. For dine in earlier in the day, I'm still partial to Houng Lan. It just feels more inviting there.

    This will probably be our backup pho place when our first 2 favorites are full. I got the tofu and vegetable pho. The soup was clear, but tasty. The noodles were different compared to other pho places. They were a little chewy. Different, but I liked it. The hubby ordered a combination and he didn't have any complaints. We also ordered a side of spring rolls. Crispy, tightly packed with tons of filling, and still piping hot even after we started eating them halfway into our pho (They brought the spring rolls out first). Props to the waitress. She was the ONLY one taking orders and there were at least 8 tables, one with more than 10 people. There were 3 or 4 people dropping off food from the kitchen, but they just left it on a nearby table for her to bring to everyone. She refilled the waters, she bussed the tables. This was one super woman waitress, always had a smile on her face. I would've smacked the guy working the counter.

    so my previous post was saying that it was good. but i take it back. as a regular customer there, a friend and i was eating pho and talking stories....UNTIL i found a nasty bug floating in my pho. got grossed out and realized that if it was floating in my broth, everyone is eating that broth. what's even worse was that the waiter says "ohh...i'm sorry about that." and we still didn't get our meal comped. so effin' gross.....never again.. they lost my business

    Ox tail Pho. What the Pho! something different. I like the bold flavor of their soup. The soup is strong and stays tasty til the end. The ox tail is not quite fall off the bone. The meat still sticks to the bone so it take a bit of slurping to get it off. Go eat! Big G

    I've had Vietnamese food all over - New York, Atlanta, San Francisco, etc. (to include homemade). I have no idea how anyone is saying Pho 777 is using spaghetti noodles for their pho or that the broth is tasteless or whatever. The food is delicious. I've had most things on the menu and can easily say that this is good Vietnamese food. They even have bánh xèo, a dish that you can't get at about 99% of Vietnamese restaurants on the island. In my experience, the staff have always been very kind and attentive. The food comes out quickly, just as it would in any good Vietnamese place, and I've never really have any issues as far as refilling beverages goes. Atmosphere was fine - typical of pretty much any Vietnamese place on the mainland. Parking would be my only real complaint. At certain times of the day, even with the spaces underneath the building, it can be very hard to find a spot. Extra Bonus: It's open late.

  • Janel Y.

    The good thing about this place is if you want pho in the day the parking is awesome. That's why my weekly pho with the bff's moved here from Pho One. I order my usual Pho Tai (rare steak) and my friends' tried something called Bum Bo, spicy seafood soup. Both were good the first time, the second time we went the broth was not as flavorful. Service: not the best, but whenever we eat pho we don't expect much. They do have sate sauce, shrimp paste and other great condiments that you can add to your soup so that is a huge plus.

  • Chihiro N.

    Yes its called Pho 777, but I have never actually ordered their pho. I come here for their wonton & egg noodles. Their chicken broth is very flavorful, I could just sip their soup all day. I am a huge fan of egg noodles, and the ones here are very thin, but they give good portions to fill you up. It also comes with fish balls, squid, shrimp and char siu, but all I really need is just the soup & egg noodles. :)

    Yuck! The only good thing about this place was the bread that the banh mi was made on and that was toasted to much so it was hard to eat. Otherwise everything else was pretty gross. The meat was the worst part about it. On our banh mi and summer rolls they used this bologna looking pork that came out of a tube and tasted worse than bologna. And the rice noodle that they used were thick like spaghetti which made for an icky texture as you ate them. I haven't tried the other Vietnamese places in the area but I sould have to say try them before trying this one.

    one of my favorite places to go for pho (my other favorites are hale vietnam and pho saigon). i love the fact that they serve pho in different sizes - small, medium, large. i usually order medium. but what i love most is their broth. it's absolutely something you have to go back for over and over again! :) the waiters are ok (not extremely friendly neither are they mean). they work fast and they work well. the pho is served hot (which is the way i like it) and just a few minutes after ordering it (even if they the entire restaurant is filled). billing out seems to be a problem. so i usually just go to the counter to pay instead of wait for the waiter to bring me my bill.

    Okay, 2 and a half stars for McCully Shopping Center's newest offering. Frankly, Viet Cafe (which is now closed and replaced with that Banana Leaf Pasta place) was better, but hopefully Pho 777 will get better in time. They are taking 20% off your bill until November 30, 2008 in honor of their Grand Opening. Food: Hit and miss. The crispy spring rolls were very good. Something inside tasted super yummy and made me feel like I needed "just one more bite." I think they have roasted peanuts wrapped up with the vermicelli noodles, meat, veggies, etc. to make it a stand out dish. The dipping sauce was also good (not too fishy). I ordered the Pho (#11, large) with slices of rare steak and beef brisket ($8.25). They asked if I wanted my rare steak on the side or inside my soup (which was cool, because it can get overly cooked when placed in the soup too early). The immediate smell was cinnamon, then some herbacious notes. It was tasty, but no real depth/complexity of flavor. Like there was no "mother" broth that this came from. It tasted good when I just drank the broth, but when I ate it with the noodles or beef, it became bland. I saw a guy add a ton of salt into it, but I didn't want to do that...added sirracha and sambal instead. The short ribs were unavailable (too early?), so my mom ordered #55: Steamed rice with garlic pork and shrimp ($10.50). Tasty enough and the 3 or 4 shrimp were good, but the pork was really dry and overcooked. You sure get a whole lot of rice, though (see pic). Service: Our waitress was really nice, but inexperienced. She did not know the menu well, but really sweet. Water did not come around often, and it tasted a bit weird so I added fresh mint and a lime wedge to my glass and it was no problem. All cutlery, napkins and condiments are stacked on each table so you can help yourself. Ambiance: Oddly elegant and casual combo. I think the restaurant looked more elegant than the people inside it. Table cloths, roomy booths, etc. Everyone inside in shorts or jeans (including restaurant staff). Overall: Too expensive (tho' I'm sure it's because rent is high) to keep going unless the food quality goes up a notch or two. There are definitely places with the same or better food that charge a few bucks less per dish. But the people there seem so nice I hope the place becomes a success.

    After a long evening of last minute Christmas shopping at Ala Moana, my girlfriend and I pulled into McCully Shopping Center still trying to decide exactly where to eat. I had been craving pho, and on the fourth lap around the tightest parking lot on the Island, while lamenting the closure of Viet Cafe, I looked up and saw Pho 777. Jackpot! The well done flank in my #14 was very tender and surprisingly moist, but I felt the tendon to tripe ratio could have been higher. My girlfriend loved her veggie-tofu pho, and we both agreed that the broth was rich and flavorful. Yes, the saltiness is lessened when you add the sprouts, basil, and ngo gai, but that's what all the sriracha, nuoc mam, and hoisin is for. The service was barely existent, and the overall experience wasn't life changing like, say, winning the Megabucks, but hitting the jackpot on the nickel slots is still pretty cool.

    Let me start off by saying that I'm originally from Southern California. I've eaten at many pho restaurants, as there are many, especially in Orange County. Some are even open 24 hrs. But I have to say, this is one of the best places I've eaten pho at. Right from entering the restaurant at 10pm, my husband and I were greeted by a friendly waiter. There were 4-5 small groups there at the time, and it seemed he was the only one on the floor. But, he was quick to give us our menu and water. I was surprised to find almost 100 menu items, but ultimately we ordered 2 large bowls of pho. I ordered the special combination, which included beef brisket, tendon, tripe, and rare steak on the side. The husband ordered the mixed seafood (I'm not sure what was in it... he didn't share...) After ordering, I went to the restroom (which was very clean, btw.) When I got back to our table, our food had already arrived! I was ready to dig in, when a lady from the kitchen started setting up our table, giving us napkins, soup spoons, and sauce plates. Now THAT'S service. NEVER have I eaten a bowl of pho, especially a large bowl, all in one sitting. (Well, at least for the noodles, meat,and vegetables.) My husband consumed EVERYTHING, including the soup. I was amazed. 2 bowls of pho set as back about $20, while most places in SoCal charge about $6 a bowl. Then again, this IS Hawaii :)

    i'm not a pho junkie...but i have had a few through the years... this one stands out the most... why? this is the only place that is super generous with their tripe and tendon... normally, the places i go to are pretty skimpy and that makes me sad.... here, i can barely finish it all :D p.s. their beef stew and shrimp/pork summer rolls are yum yum yum! service is....o-kay a tad slow, they do hit you up with water though! i also suggest ordering by the number that they place by each item :)

    I didn't have my phone with me when I went this weekend as I ventured to try Vietnamese food for the first time. I will leave this review short and sweet.

    I've come here before and its been worse. This time around was really good, actually! I thought open were open until 2am cuz I read on yelp, but I think friday and Saturday they're only open til 1am. I got there at like 12:30 something and stayed til 1:30ish and they were pretty nice about it. I didn't realize, but my friend and I were the last ones there! Oops. Haha. Anyway, the pho I had had a lot of meat, I wasn't able to finish it haha. The meat was a little tough too. But it's okay, I really like the broth. Still not my favorite pho place but I gave it four stars cuz it's open late. That's about it hahaha.

  • Wing L.

    This place is ok. The only thing that is REALLY good there is convenience. There isnt much Pho/Vietnamese restaurants open late at night. I'm not going to freaking rate parking along with this restaurant because its stupid. You chose to go there and parking has nothing to do with business if its in a SHOPPING CENTER. Cause everyone goes to shopping centers and its going to be a given that its going to be a bit busy sometimes. Anyways. Their pho is okay. Their BBQ pork is pretty good. Not too bland. I usually get the Vegetable Pho and add lots of lime/lemons. Like 4 -5 pieces depending on their cut size. However their utensils are very dirty. The soup spoons are okay. Because everyone uses it and they wash it constantly. Something like those little small dipping dishes, those can be really filthy. Every time I go there, I grab some napkins and put some water on them and wipe the dish for a good 5 minutes and then use another clean napkin to wipe another few minutes to take the gunk away. I usually use it for soyu and jalapeno peppers. They dont even have soyu sometimes. As for service....sometimes its bad.... BUT I like the young looking kid because he really does try his best unlike other employees that works there. I dont know his name but he smiles like a server should and communicates with people even if he has limits with English. And we (me and friends) go there from time to time because we end work really late and theres no food in the fridge etc. When you become a regular there that young boy remembers you. Most def. "I'll get the Vegetable Pho with a side of meat." And he would say, "Aha Always. You always get that." I like this kid. And I know they will be opening up in Hawaii Kai soon. Hope this kid would be there when it opens. So convenience and this kid is what had me continue to visit Pho777.

    I typically get the beef Phö. My hubby love the beef and innards Phö. The broth is ok I suppose standard. Nothing amazing. I have had better broth where the consistency is almost velvety and much hartier in flavor. The veggies are always fresh and adundant herbs are vibrant and flavorful. The location is great at McCully shopping center. BUT as u may all know parking is rough no matter what time of day. The wait staff is definately not attentive I am assuming that is due to the fact that people are typically too busy slurping down noodles and hot broth to want/need much if anything at all. 3 stars from me. It good but could be better IMO. 3 stars may be a stretch be forewarned especially if u know ur Phö.

    This place is okay, it's just great since they're open later than usual pho places. McCully Shopping Center is known to have really sucky parking hands down, don't think the location is very convenient. They have a good selection of pho to choose from, as well as three different sizes. Honestly, I think the medium is the same as the small, just with more broth. The broth is okay, I've tasted other pho broths that taste more fresh and "clean" I guess I would say, a fresher less murkier version. Their spring rolls and summer rolls are pretty decent too. I got the pork chops one time and that was really good. I wouldn't make this my hands-down place to go for pho, but it's late, you're in town, this is always an option.

    The first time I came here and looked at the menu I kinda wanted to cry. Pho, bun, BBQ pork bahn mi, omelette, crispy noodles with seafood, garlic beef, whole fish, ca phe sua da. It was all my faves offered one after the other on one menu, and the flavors felt correct in my mouth. Plus they open late (last orders taken at 11pm). Plus the guys who work there are funny. And the whole restaurant is clean, well lit, and there's a big flat screen that's always playing Vietnamese music shows. The only way they can improve is if they can improve their parking situation, but that's McCully Shopping Center's issue, not Pho 777's. And it's only another reason to go late night.

    I come to Pho 777 only because they have a very tasty tofu/veggie pho (with veg broth). And the tofu summer rolls are also tasty. The atmosphere is a little blah and the service is slow, so I usually get take-out. HOWEVER, the McCully plaza is sorta a nightmare - being on a very busy corner block...

    this was probably the worst pho I've ever had in Hawaii and the rest of the world too for that matter. months later, and after the scars from the first time healed, I decided to be fair, Id give it a second chance before I wrote it off forever. I was drunk and it was still terrible!!! they use spaghetti noodles for their pho. so not the business!! on an unrelated side note, I enjoyed the spring rolls. but in all seriousness, it should be called pho 666 because it was pure evil.

    Located on the second floor of McCully Shopping Center, the service is fast and attentive. You have three choices of sizes of pho bowls. I enjoyed a hot bowl of rare beef with beef balls. Good broth, made better with a dollop of red chili paste. I ended my meal with a three-color bean drink made with yellow, red and pinto (?) beans, slivers of green jelly, sweet coconut milk and crushed ice. My server said she sells 20-30 of these a day. All this for a little over $12. (I'm used to Chinatown prices, and this is a few bucks more than what you might find on Maunakea Street.)

    I didn't try the Pho here, so I am basing this on what I tried. The service was extremely slow, and let me tell you, we were the only people in the restaurant. The server didn't seem to know the menu. I asked for some suggestions and he was no help at all. He literally told me I had to try everything. No joke. The food we had was basically horrible!! Me and my friends were extremely disappointed. It tasted like it had been microwaved! One thing that we had was very chewy!! Impossible to eat. The place does not look very clean. And while we were eating a lady came in complaining that she had been charged twice for her food the day before. They didn't want to give her a refund. I hope this helps. There are way better places than this one.

    I've been coming here since the grand opening. You can probably find better pho broth on River St but if you want a little variety then Pho 777 is a great option. I personally suggest trying the green drink, lemon grass chicken, green papaya salad or beef salad but it's all good. I like that they're open late, close to Waikiki and servers are always having fun.

    The broth is flavorful, and judging from the dry mouth and headache we got later on we're pretty sure they use plenty of MSG. The noodles don't taste right to me, but they gave plenty of rare beef with our rare beef pho. The crab noodle soup was really yummy (ordered less the pork blood), although I wish they put a crab claw in it like other places I've had it at. They are generous with the accompaniments like the mint leaves, bean sprouts, lime, etc. Other items: Combination rice plate - grilled pork chops were really delicious and the fried egg was nice and crispy. The egg/pork cake/meatloaf was tough and not so flavorful. Shredded pork was one of the better I've had. Wonton egg noodle soup - Wontons are not bad, broth is fine, but the noodles taste weird. Egg rolls - I've had better. They're only OK. Vietnamese ice coffee - It tastes good. As my Vietnamese friends say, the nicer looking the Vietnamese restaurant, the worse the food tastes. Gotta go to a good ol' hole in the wall. Granted, it is clean and nice on the inside, probably one of the nicer Vietnamese restaurants I have been to. The service has been good both times we've been there.

    Great pho but slow service. Big menu including bun, rice dishes, sandwiches and seafood. Pho has great broth. I usually go for the mix meat which comes with the works (tripe, tendon, beef ball, flank and rare steak.) Bun is also very flavorful. The grilled pork bun is a winner. This place would have received a higher rating if not for the slow service so if that is not a major concern for you, 777 is one of the better Vietnamese spots in town.

  • Stacey K.

    i love 777. 1. It's open late 2. The broth is clear and not too fatty 3. It's CLEAN! Unlike most pho places in downtown 4. They actually wash the veggies 5. You get your pho right away and don't have to wait 6. the quality of the rare steak is better than most places Don't get the summer rolls, get the spring rolls instead. 777 is more expensive than most places but it's CLEAN!!!

    While I don't think the pho here is the best, it definitely hits the spot after drinking for 4 hours. I always get Pho Tai (rare steak). There's no sense fooling around with anything else.

    see my review for pho bistro. I was about to go to the Chinese restaurant next door but decided at the last minute to go with this pho place. This restaurant is in a strip mall with a bunch of other restaurants, Chinese, Indian, taco bell, yogurt, etc. food: 4/5. This restaurant has a large variety of foods beside pho. the pho itself is decent, not a lot of msg. the meat is tender, noodle firm, along with large amount of vegies on the side. (I think most pho place in Hawaii give you lots of vegies due to the tropical weather where everything grow well: just a thought!) The fry pork with vermicelli noodles is great along with banh Xeo (Vietnames Crepe). I was about to give this place 3.5 but decide to upgrade to 4 stars ambiance: 3.5/5 a little more colorful than other dive-y place cleanlyness: 3/5 service: 4/5 decent service safety: 4/5 good location day and night, since this place seems to be very busy with all the restaurants and people. cost: 3/5. $9-10/ dish, pho included overall: 4/5 stars. I prefer pho bistro, but this place come close 2nd. If you wants other foods, than by all mean comes to this place, since they server banh Xeo, bun cha gio (egg roll) and thit nuong nicely.

    I gave 2 stars for the hours and the food. Everything else is just wrong. The service slow, wrong order, and attitude sucks. I'm in there because I live close by and they, open late. Need I say more... go in experience it and share your thought on yelp.

  • sideshow b.

    4.5 but I'm giving it the bump up. Ok, maybe I know nothing about pho or maybe an extra month of operation has made all the difference, but she and I found the food here great! I had the rare beef pho, she had the Bún with spring rolls. My broth was especially flavorful, moreso than other places, and had a subtle but distinct "sweet spice" tinge to it. Cinnamon? Clove? I don't know, but it was awesome. At their offering, my beef was presented raw and separately. I like that. Then add the usual platter of basil, long coriander, sprouts and lemon and I was nearly in heaven. A quick squirt of Srirachi and a small dollop of garlic/chili paste and my journey was complete. My wife hates "fishy" and "salty". I tried a bit of her Nuoc Cham straight from the bowl and had to, well, kinda lie and say "hmmm, mellow". It wasn't. It was about the saltiest and fishest I had ever tried. I was somewhat fearful as she poured it over her dinner and dug right in. She stopped after her second or third bite, looked me right in the eye ... and requested a second serving of the sauce! All the while raving. I tried a bit of the sauce that filtered to the bottom of the bowl and couldn't detect a bit of fish and only a hint of salt. Ahhh, the science of food and blended flavors! The bad? It's a strip mall. And the place is way too bright. Cafeteria bright. The wait staff was casually dressed, like they just enjoyed a day at the beach. And while clean and tidy, there is virtually no ambiance (again, dim the lights). Go here for the food, not to impress your date--unless your date is impressed with simple flavorful food! We will be back.

    I ordered a takeaway lunch consisting of a couple of Vietnamese sandwiches ("ban mi") and spring rolls. Wish I had started coming here years ago! The service was quick and the staff was polite and attentive. The only drawback is the horrible parking. Good luck finding a spot and squeezing your car in...I've eaten the pho here as well for dinner and loved it.

    Clean, good cheap pho and nice atmasphere. But there service is lacking. Not uncommon to be seated and have to wait 15-20 minutes before your order is taken. And once you get your food, you'll be lucky to see the waiter again.

    if i could this would be below one star. I'll get to why...I think normally I'd give this restaurant 3-4 stars. The pho was decent/average, the service was good and the food came quickly. All great things, except for the rat/big mouse my girlfriend saw run into the kitchen.

    Not the worst place, but not the best place either THE GOOD * late hours * price is affordable * ample seating * private parking lot * convenient location (mccully shopping center) THE BAD * service * when busy, they can't handle all the customers -- pho comes out but the vegetables that supposed to come with it comes like 10 minutes later... my pho is cold by then! * water with little ice THE WEIRD * I think all the workers are working, but they do not have specific jobs... or maybe they do, but they aren't so great at it. oiiiyoooo!

    2.5....can't give it 3. I love pho and this place just didn't really impress me. First of all, service was lacking. 4 coffees were ordered first, and forgotten. We asked for refills on our waters multiple times, and to two different people. My friend literally went up to their bar area to ask (again) that they just give us a pitcher since no one was coming by anyway. Their spring rolls weren't memorable, neither was the broth. And the meat was too dense/thick....personal preference but I prefer the Shabu-thin slices. I didn't try a bite of the bahn mi's that we ordered but all I saw were sparse slices of meat and a sad offering of veggies thrown messily into hard looking rolls. Maybe I have to come on another day, and try it out again. But to-date the best thing from there in my opinion is their iced coffee (that we finally got when we were nearly done with our meals).

  • Justine R.

    I must say, I extremely dislike this place. As mentioned, it's dirty, service isn't that great, and the pho is mediocre. It's a bowl of msg with really tough meat. BUT! The shining star of this place is the house special banh mi. Have you guys ever had it because I hate banh mi and I took a bite of my boyfriend's one the other night when I was craving pho pass usual store hours. It is absolutely delicious!!! I think I hated it before because I had the ones only from Ba-Le. The one here is well-balanced and the meat is yummy. Absolutely perfect and amazing. Served warm with a nicely toasted french bread, NOT stale! Definite must have if you're forced to come here one night!

    After sitting down, I realized that there were a lot of negative reviews for this place so I started to pay attention more to their cleanliness and service. Turns out, everything was clean enough for me and they did check up on us at least once. Food didn't take that long either. The beef pho, spring rolls, and cold noodles with chicken were pretty good. I just think that for a place located in this busy shopping center, they should act a little more friendly. There are pho restaurants just about everywhere on this island so why not make the extra effort to make yourselves stand out in a positive way?

  • Shanisse I.

    This is a very convenient location when I just finish school or work and need a pho fix. Very nice sized restaurant but the only thing that stops me from giving 4 stars is that they never seem to have enough employees. Arriving for dinner one night, we had to wait quite some time to be seated because the two employees were tending to their other tables. After being seated, we had to wait another 15 minutes just to get someone to take our order, another 15min to get my iced coffee but only 5min after getting our food did we get our check. It IS good and the price was decent. but service could be strongly improved. 31 Yelps Review Challenge: #13/31

    After what felt like forever at the yardhouse waiting on a table we decided to leave waikiki and venture around honolulu. My husband and I were actually looking for a Japanese udon restaurant which was located in the same building as pho 777. The udon place happened to be close. We were extremely hungry so we decided to eat here again. We came here a couple months ago and remembered that the food was pretty good. It was on a Saturday night and the place was not packed at all. There were maybe 3 tables used. As soon as we got a table a young waiter have us our menu. He then proceeded to give us our water and asked us what we wanted to order. I ordered the finest rice house special combination and my husband ordered a beef/flank/meatball large pho. For our appetizers we ordered the spring rolls that had all the good veggies and the fish sauce. Our egg rolls came before our order which was nice. I hate when it comes all at once. Not too long after eating one egg roll my order came up. In my combination dinner was rice, shredded chicken, a fried pork chop, a sunny side up egg and a fried pork chop. It looked better on the menu that it really tasted. My husbands pho order was amazing. They have different sizes of pho bowls. He ordered the large which was perfect for us to share considering I had my own food. I also ordered a Thai tea which was delish. But who could go wrong with Thai tea right. Also I went to the ladies room before I ate and it was out of toilet seat covers which I was kind of upset about. The restaurant is decent looking. It had a flat screen tv which was playing some kind of asian show. The reason why I rated this place a 2 is because no one really attended to us. None of the waiters asked us how we liked our food and if we needed anything else. Call me high maintenance but I love it when they check to see how people are doing. In this case they didn't. We also wanted an extra bowl and a spoon. It took my husband forever to flag one of them down. Next time I come back I'll just my own bowl of pho.

    Walking from Embassy Suites all the way to this restaurant in the hot weather was eh, but I ordered the Bun Rieu w/ pig's blood and it was alright. Looked like the broth had a lot of red dye, since the noodles were pink, tofu was pink, and also the pork patty.

    Yes!!! This is good. Good broth. Good vermicelli noodles. Good service. And cheap. Enjoy. U won't go wrong here. A lot of other pho places and Vietnamese place overpriced nearby. Just go here. It's not pretty but the food is good.

    Beware this place charge your credit card more than what you write in your receipt. Me and hubby went to this place june 13, 2014. The bill came out to $37.00 and i think $5 tip is reasonable, actually i feel generous despite of the bad service that we got. 1st they dont refill your water if you dont ask them, 2nd we feel rush 3rd my mom is still eating (she's a slow eater because she have full denture) and the bus boy keep grabbing plates that making her feel rush and cant enjoy her dinner (like can u just let her finished?) anyways for some reason i kept the receipt and while doing our checking acct online i notice that my math is Off, so i pulled out receipts and check where The error is coming from and notice that this place over charge extra $3.00 and not telling us? It's just dirty. So if your going to eat at this place make sure u keep the receipt so just incase you get a surprise later on.

    I wanted to try this place out and luckily my brother was craving pho. We came here after our hike at Manoa Falls. Parking took a while. Our parents didn't want to eat pho so they chose the Chinese Restaurant. Once inside workers pointed to a table for my brother and I to sit at. The place wasn't as packed as I would've imagined, but it was New Year's Eve. I liked their menu. I almost tried their sandwich that I would usually order if I was at a Ba-Le restaurant but ordered pho instead. They actually had a SMALL bowl! But I ordered a medium since I wasn't sure how hungry I was. Our food arrived on a timely manner and we started digging in. When you're hungry you eat it while it's hot. Burnt my tongue, that's okay. I liked their broth. I had to add a lot of plum sauce cause it was ordinary without it. For some reason I thought it was Sunday so when I realized it was Monday I pulled out my iDcard, discount! Something better than nothing. The interior was clean though our table rocked whenever my brother lifted his weight off the glass. I'll probably come back for that sandwich.

    Ordered Vegetarian Spring rolls but was not impressed. We ordered some lemonades but did not come out until we were almost done with our meal. Got to order some deserts to go and they were good.

  • Lovey Y.

    Decent pho. I love how they have sizes small medium and large. The price range was a lot pricer than where I go for pho but it was pretty good. I also ordered the green papaya salad but I didn't really like the taste of it. It had a bitter spicy taste and they used almost ripe papayas so it was soft not crunchy. The only thing I would recommend here is the pho or rice plates. It's only great if you're in the area & desperate.

  • Sierra C.

    If you are easily disgusted or irritated, do yourself a favor - Don't try Pho 777 FOOD The pricing is average for a Pho restaurant, around $9 for a medium bowl. But what's really disappointing is the meat, which often has an odd taste to it and is tough. The broth is...satisfactory. SERVICE OKAY. The service at Pho 777 is lacking! On multiple occasions, my server had dirty hands that touched my water cups and even the inner rim of my pho bowl. Secondly, I never wait any less than 20 minutes for a water refill, IF I get one. OVERALL No. If you're looking for pho late at night or don't want to drive far, then sure, it'll do. But Pho 777 definitely isn't my first choice.

  • Thanh N.

    If you want a good Pho place, this is not the one! Their broth is salty, the noodle is not cooked sometimes and also the meat. I only come to eat pho here only when it was late and no where else open. However, they have some significant dishes that you should try out: Bun Mang Vit (Vermicelli in Hot Steam Broth with duck meat): this noodle soup is delicious, it has bamboo root in the soup and a side dish of duck meat, dipped with ginger mixed sauce. Chao (Porridge): The porridge is thin enough because i don't like it thick. And I usually order with chicken. It is a great dish when having sickness. Those are dishes that only impressed me.

    I used to go here at least once a week. Then one day I found a roach in my spicy beef soup. When I told the waiter that there was a roach in my soup, he didn't apologize about it, but he offered to get me a new one. Of course I couldn't eat the new one because the thought of another roach being in my soup just grossed me out. I haven't been back since.

    The service is quick, and the place is clean. The Thai tea is SOOOO yummy! Not too sweet, and you can see the layers when it's brought to the table. They have a really impressive selection on the menu; vermicelli and pho and salads and satays, yum! The staff is courteous and the food was so yummy! The restaurant is chilly, but how else can you eat pho in Hawaii? I'm always cold though, so I bring a sweater until I have my soup!

    I am truly disappointed with Pho 777. As I've mentioned earlier, their customer service is absolutely terrible! Last night, my boyfriend and I came here with our friends and their son, who is about 3 years old. We waited about 15 minutes before we could order, when he wanted to collect our menus, he said "Can you give me the menus?" in a rude tone of voice. Okay, not a big deal, he doesn't speak much English so I'll let this one slide. Then he said, "Make sure you watch the boy so he doesn't drop or throw anything." ...........Really?!?! And when we got our order he says, "Make sure you keep the boy away from the Pho, it's hot." I'm sorry, but is our waiter our mother? My friend, the mother of the kid, was extremely irritated... as well the rest of our table. For my experience here at night, I think they deserve one star. However, for my daytime lunch experiences, I give them a 5 for service, but a 3 for food. But since I come here more at night, I'll have to lean towards giving fewer stars. Pho 777 is lucky to have such a nice lady working in the daytime, otherwise, they would be given one star. Not too sure if I would come again at night. I'm tired of the bad customer service here.

    I ordered a papaya salad and when I was about to take my 2nd bite there was a bug so I let the server know and she apologized and brought a new one. I was enjoying the second salad when I was almost to the end of the salad there was another bug! At this point I felt sick to my stomach and wanted to throw up. I let our server know and she just took it away and gave us the bill which had my salad on it. Needless to say I won't ever be going back there again. Two out of two times to have a bug in my salad is more than enough for me.

    Man this place is GREAT! So....... ....My friend and I were walking around McCully shopping center to figure out where to eat so we decided pho sounds like a great choice. We entered Pho 777 right before 9 pm and there were plenty of seats. There were fast to sit us down and serve us waters. The waiter came back after 8 or so minutes to get our order. This was great because it gave me enough time to look at the menu, being it was my first time here. The actual place seems to be clean enough. The menu was pretty extensive with many choices for the types of pho, vermicelli in steamed broth or cold, wonton noodle dishes and rice plates. Here is a photo of a few items on the menu: yelp.com/user_local_phot… Here is a picture of the sauces and condiments on every table: yelp.com/user_local_phot… Alright let me talk about the FOOD! * Pho w/ special meat combo $8.50. Slices of rare steak, beef balls, well done beef brisket ,well done flank, tendon , and tripe. Here is a photo: yelp.com/user_local_phot… The broth was meaty and delicious. I put some Sriracha sauce to add some hotness. The tripe tasted pretty plain yelp.com/user_local_phot… but the noodles were great. The long meats and fatty meats was tasty. The beef balls was full of flavor! You bite it and it explodes in your mouth. OK that just sounds wrong. ~Any pho you order comes with bean sprouts basil leaves jalapeño slices and a lime or lemon. Photo: yelp.com/user_local_phot… * Spring rolls- Comes with 6 spring rolls and lettuce to wrap it in. Photos: yelp.com/user_local_phot… and yelp.com/user_local_phot… This was really good. The sauce was sweet yelp.com/user_local_phot… . I will definitely order this again. Beef vermilion plate- Photo: yelp.com/user_local_phot… This wasn't too bad. I like the different textures. You can also taste meat but it was a light dish. * Lemon grass chicken- Photo: yelp.com/user_local_phot… This was another amazing thing to order. It had a light curry taste that was a little spicy but really flavorful. Overall this place was a shocker! Meaning... that everything taste really good and it wasn't packed. Service was pretty good and they filled up my water multiple times. I will be going back!

    I've tried this place twice. I had the large rare steak pho first and then the large Oxtail pho. The both dishes were good but the only small gripes I had were the rice noodles seemed a little thick, they were stingy when I asked for extra lemon, the xtail was flavorless, and though the service was friendly it was slow. We waited 15 minutes before they even came and asked what we wanted to order. Other than those small complaints Pho 777 was a great restaurant.

    Been here twice late at night. That's the main thing Pho 777 has going for it-the late hours they are open. Ordered pho & spring rolls both times. The first time was all right. Didn't blow my mind but was decent. The 2nd time, the spring rolls were mushy inside, like it wasn't properly cooked or was old. And the vegetables we got for the pho were rotten, literally with rot spots all over the basil, mint, and other greens. Asked for a replacement plate of greens and received veggies in even worse condition. If they serve the fresh veggies looking like that, what does the stuff that they cook look like? Not worth risking my health. Posted the pics showing the veggies.

    Never coming here again. Only good thing about this place is the late hours. So the server comes by to drop off our spring rolls we ordered while we are eating our pho. Half way to our table, he drops a spring roll on the ground & looks around. He sees that we witness him drop the roll and takes the plate back. Not even 30 seconds later he brings the plate back and it was clearly the same spring roll he dropped on the ground. The spring roll was flaked off and you could clearly see where it was cracked from the drop. He leaves the table with a smug look and smiles at his other young co worker who knew what was happening. He then stands behind the cashier watching me and my girlfriend examine the roll with disgust. He knew it was obvious that we knew, then quickly comes back and says sorry he will make a new plate for us with his broken english. He couldnt even look at our faces from the shame. How pathetic and disgusting. He was lucky I didnt f**k his fob ass up in the resturaunt. Even with this horrible experience, we left a a gracious tip.

    The place was packed around 1930/7:30 PM. Seating happened quickly after a vacant booth opened up. The water came pretty quick too! After that everything slowed down. Went through the menu, already knew what was wanted initially but went through it again then waited, and waited. A possible 10 minutes. Finally the order was taken and the wait continued. All that was order was 14 and 32... a small Pho and a BBQ Pork plate. The food was decent, nothing extraordinary but that's definitely better than not meeting expectations. The bathroom though had no soap or paper towels. After the meal and a couple water refills, another wait. However, this wait had been cut short. Decided to go to the register instead of waiting for the check.

    $10 for the small pho feels like SUCH a rip off. It was a decent sized bowl, perfect for my lacking appetite, yet if I were to come back hungry, I would probably leave hungry! Everything tasted fine. At the end of the night though, my broth had separated like miso soup. Is that supposed to happen? They also only gave us ONE plate of pho sides for a table of 8! I can understand one plate for maybe every 2-3 people, but to just share one was a bit ridiculous! Had to ask for more, which they gave, but also seemingly reluctantly. The spring rolls are alright. I personally don't like raw bean sprouts in my rolls, but thats a personal preference. If you do, the rolls also include both pork AND shrimp. Dipped in their peanut sauce, it was decent. Had other trouble with their service. Friends who ordered the French coffee drip barely got any water! When we tried to explain that there was no more water, the waiter tell us to wait for the water to drip down. Scuz you, but there isn't any water to drip down! Finally had to flag the other waiter down who said it was made incorrectly. They also don't keep their utensils filled. We had to ask for more soup spoons and sauce dishes. Parking can be a bitch, but just remember theres a lower parking lot on side of the shopping center OPPOSITE and AWAY from Kalakaua. The only nice thing I would point out is that they are open until 2am. And that their spicy beef broth soup was pretty good.

    They have good pho and I like that they are open late. It just takes way too long to get what you ordered.

    This would make my fifth time coming here . Place/establishment: clean and the whole place filled with pho broth smell. Makes it feel your in Vietnam. Great spaces room but plenty of tables and chairs . Never need to wait in long lines. Once you enter someone will ask how many people will be eating. Local family owned. Great atmosphere. Food : wide selection of all types of unique food, if your not a big fan of pho there are dishes including rice, chicken, meat, etc. Also have different types of drinks like Thai tea, coffee, and much more . If you don't want certain things in your dish, they allow replacements, or remove that product from the dish. The broth in the pho is very DELICIOUS !!, you can tell they spent hours cooking that broth, no oils floating nor is the taste overwhelming. Fills you right up. On the side of each tables their is a selection of different Sauces, where you can mix and match dips for all the dishes. Napkins, spoons, chop sticks are right there stacked up, so it's easy to access instead of making the waiter bringing it to each table. Service: they brought us right to our table and immediately served us water and order our foods. However there was a lack of staff and our water wasn't refilled until we told them to, other than that the food was great !! Tips: they give discounts if you show then your ID card which I believe it's 10% off. Favorites : I usually get the regular pho with rare streak in either a small or medium and summer roll . LOVE it .

    If you are coming here, its not for the service. Let's stay with what is ok. *the pho is average *the soup is not very oily *they are open late *lots of room to sit The reason I'm not the biggest fan.. *They forget about you *no water refills * the tables are sticky and seats aren't wiped down. Like I said, if you are in need of a late night pho fix. This is the only option. I will always go, and always try and keep giving it a shot. We will see....

    Located on the second floor of the shopping center. Went here the other day, our orders were mixed up. Meat outside was in the bowl instead and got summer roll instead of spring roll. Still a good place though.

    I WILL NEVER RETURN EVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN. Like my best friend Jordan, just reviewed: The wait was horrrrrrible!!! We waited a good half an hour at the table before ordering any food! Then waited another 20 mins for our food... so an HOUR wait before food went into our mouths. What was worse, the wait time was completely unorganized. There were people seated after us that got to place their order before us and people seated before us where OUR order was taken before theres. The service was just downright horrible and probably one of the worse customer services in Honolulu that I have ever experienced. The workers also looked stressed. Our guy that served our food just seemed annoyed to be there and hated life. Sorry Pho 777, but you just lost a customer. :(

    I must thank my fellow YEEPS for inspiring me; by that I mean pulling into the teeny- tiny parking lots of McCully Shopping Center to eat at Pho 777, which I have never heard of, until I started perusing YELP. If you have lived in Hawaii all your life or own a Toyota Corolla or a Mo-Ped, you'll be used to parking in the stalls provided by McCully Shopping Center. If you are from Texas or if you own a Hummer, you are in big trouble. I was lucky enough to snag parking after someone left; never mind the fact that I had to back in/out about five times to get it right..only to have someone key my car after I was done eating because they were probably mad at the way I was forced to park my car, which is...very close! Why am I harping on the parking lot instead of the food? Maybe because you need to be able to PARK before you can EAT....case in point. - I witnessed a parking lot accident as I was leaving the restaurant. There was a lot of screaming and yelling and burning of rubber out of the parking lot. I should have taken a picture of it...darn. I am getting ahead of myself... Once seated in the spartan, plainly decorated restaurant, I ordered Tofu Pho and inquired about one of my favorites, the Salty Lemon drink (Chanh Muoi). The waitress assured me that they can make me my beloved drink, even if it wasn't on the menu. I've had this drink at another Vietnamese restaurant and have since fallen completely with Chanh Muoi. My Tofu Pho ($6.50-ish) was basically tasteless. So much that I ended up adding tons of junk to it = soy sauce, hot pepper sauce, hoi sin sauce, chili oil sauce, cyanide, etc My drink came AFTER my meal. It was basically chopped up preserved, packaged lemon doused with tap water and crushed ice ($2.75). Not worth it and insulting, if you ask me. I could have made it way better at home. No one came to hand me my bill, even after repeated attempts to make eye contact and wave every time the waitress came around; after a while I started feeling a bit stupid - how many times can you wave your right hand and make small squeaky sounds? After the ordeal I thought I'd try to use the bathroom before heading to my next destination but the women's bathroom door was occupied, and there was a large mass of sticky, slimy, oily goo on the floor. I stepped on it and nearly slipped and walked out of the establishment scraping my foot up to every imaginable surface. So would I come back? NO!!

    I... absolutely dislike this place... Why? Broth taste like sink water. No matter how much sauce and random [profanity] I dump in there... No go. I first came here because my friend told me that there was a pho place around McCully, so I gave it a shot. And boy... I kind of regret doing so. Parking of course is crappy, but I took the bus, not so bad. Walk upstairs, walk in, you get seated. They give you water of course, and you hear the TV playing some vietnamese show/musical/something as you're chatting with your friends. Waiter was okay. He wasn't rude when I went, and so we ordered pho, and at first I thought it looked delicious, and as I took a bite... oh god. Sink water. I splash some sauces in.. NOTHING. Grr.. Sure, they're opened late, but what the hell... I think I rather eat paper at that point... To not waste food, I ate it, whatever sauces I can find to stomach the noodles.. and not to be rude to my friend and workers there. It's cheap at least, but I highly recommend to not get the broth. I wouldn't mind trying other foods, like spring rolls, but for this round that I went.. It makes my stomach want to starve whenever I think about the broth. I rather go to Pho Bistro 2, or Pho One. Better broth there. I gave this place an extra star only because they're opened until super late. So if you're intoxicated and you want pho, this place is the place to go.

    I'm definitely on the fence about this restaurant. More towards not liking it than liking it. I came here a few times and I can strictly remember not ever getting seated by someone. I'm not sure if that's just how their system is (to have guests seat themselves) but if it is, a sign needs to be put up. I was never greeted by anyone each time I went, as well. I can thoroughly remember that because I didn't feel as if I was welcome. So after asking a little girl running around if I could take my own seat, I chose a spot. After a couple of minutes, a cute little old man came out with a cup of ice water and a menu. He made an effort to give me some great smiles and small talk - I liked that. I ordered their #14 - pho with rare beef and beef balls. Before my soup came out, a woman brought me a large helping of various veggies and a lime. A LIME! Yesss, not a lemon! I definitely prefer lime over lemon for my pho. My pho came out steaming hot so my rare beef definitely turned well done in the bowl, haha. The broth without any sauces in it is quite flavorful. Not too salty, not too oily. However, when I added hoisin and sriracha, OH MAN! That was the stuff to take it over the edge! It was sooo good and totally hit the spot. What I really don't like is what happens after you're finished eating. They don't give a receipt or a check, so what you need to do is go up to the bar area and wait for someone to help you. If you ask for someone, be careful, because their sass stings. The woman who dealt with the cash register the last 2 times that I've been there doesn't speak up so when I didn't hear her the say the total the first time, she gave me a look as if I were an idiot and when she told me the total again, it was as if the numbers were dripping in venom. I love pho, but I don't know if I'd come back to the woman working at the front. If I do come back, I'll let someone else go up and pay for the check hehe

    Ate here at various times, food is pretty good but service could be better. I usually stick to the usual which is the summer rolls, combination pho, or spring roll and bbq chicken vermicelli. No problems with the food so far. Just wished the servers were more friendly and personable.

  • Jenny C.

    My first visit here was a pleasant one. We got greeted and seated right away. The menus were somewhat dirty - but I'm used to that with asian restaurants. We ordered summer rolls and medium combination pho. The food came out quickly and tasted good! The portions were very good especially compared to some of the other higher rated places. I really enjoyed the summer rolls, one of the better ones I have had. I see a mixture of ratings for this place so I assume that I caught them on a good night. I would definitely give this place one more try.

  • Vingy T.

    Service is good even though its a bit busy. I'm most impressed by the food. I ordered the simmered catfish and it's super yummy. The flavor reminded me of my aunty's and dads home cooking that I miss so much. The fish was moist not overcooked and the sauce was thick not watery. The best part of it all was the flavor. It's spicy but not too overpowering that it covers the flavor itself. If you ever want tasty fish this is where you should go! I'm coming back for sure!

  • Drew S.

    Damn. I really used to like this place. Been here a handful of times and have always had a decent experience. But last night... Four of us went it around 9pm. Not too many people. monday night, not anything crazy. First off, I'd been wanting to try their Vietnamese coffee they do with the condensed milk and the little strainer on top of the cup. It's a $4.50 cup of coffee, but screw it, it looked good. WRONG. Pretty sure the server used cold water to make it. We told him about it and he took it away and "re-heated" -- it came back exactly the same temp. Okay... disappointed, but I'll let it slide. We ordered their pork crispy spring rolls to start because we're starving. Our friend's have a one year old and their giving him some when his mom notices the meat inside is still pink. She decides not to let him have and takes him outside cause he's screaming now about having food taken away from him. I ask a runner about it and he just tells me he has "no idea what I ordered." Okay.... you're looking at it. You've only got the one type of crispy spring roll, right? "I don't know," he says and walks away. Hmmm.... We get our bowls. My meat is a little pink and lacking it quantity. Whatever, it's gonna be good. But my wife who got their crab vermicelli is completely appalled by the taste/smell/look etc. There's just something very off about and we all agreed. Since the server COMPLETELY disappeared afterwards, I head up over to the manager who's running the take out window. Once I finally get to talk to him, I tell him, "Hey, my wife really doesn't like the bowl she got and doesn't want to make a dig deal. Can I exchange it for a regular bowl of pho?" He doesn't say anything to me. He quickly walks past me to the table and starts asking HER what's wrong with it. WTF! When is that okay when I tell him she doesn't want to make a big deal?? After this -- none of us are hungry anymore. Sucks cause we wanted to treat our friends, so I picked up the $60 tab for shitty food, service and afterwards the WORST STOMACH ACHE I've had in a while... Don't go here. I'm not. The reviews are right.

  • Diana T.

    Good part: 1. Your pho has 3 sizes to choose from. All of which are excellent because they contain good ratio of pho, meat, & vegetables & broth amount. 2. Your pho broth is good, almost there, but good (please read my "needs improvement" part for suggestions to enhance your broth). 3. Com Tam. Good. Good size, fast cook (service before pho soups came out) that's the way I like it. U guys can probably compete with Com Tam Thuan Kieu lol. 4. Egg Rolls. Also good. Nice & hot. Center is well-spiced. 5. Enough veggies. That's excellent & that's how Viet restaurants supposed to be. Needs Improvement (this is minor; though helpful for your enhancement of your business): 1. Your pho broth needs a little more of that "star spice", you know "hoi" or (5 spice)? It's that spice that shapes like a small brown star? I always put that spice in my broth when I cook pho & that's the "secret" ingredient for making excellent pho. Every other ingredient you put in your broth is correct & excellent. 2. Egg Rolls: Try using the rice paper spring rolls (instead of regular egg rolls); when they're fried, they're more crispy. Also, maybe a little more of the toppings inside to make the egg roll radius a little bit more thick. Other than that, everything else is excellent. Overall, I give u guys 3.5 stars. But since I'm generous, it's 4 stars/5. Congratulations & keep up the good work Pho 777!!! Best Pho in Hawaii I tried so far. The best in Hawaii.

    I had this intense craving for pho & after reviewing various Pho eateries around town via Yelp, after telling him about their reviews & mentioning how delicious the photos looked, we to check out Pho 777. I was looking forward to a big, steaming bowl of delicious seafood pho but was really disappointed with the food & service. Maybe Pho 777 was experiencing a bad night, one of the waitresses ran into the bus boy & spilled pho all over their customers & no one came to clean up the mess for awhile. When the dinner rush died down, we didn't receive any attention until our food was dropped off. After we finished our meal, we didn't know if someone was gonna drop off the check or if we needed to pay at the register; we waited 10 minutes & finally paid at the register before leaving the restaurant. Maybe we'll come back & visit on another night, if we happen to be in the area but I don't think we'll go out of our way to eat pho here.

    We've eaten here many times and we like this restaurant! The pho has always been good, it arrived fresh and hot, the noodle was in perfect texture, fully cooked but not mushy as it happened sometimes before at other pho restaurant. The broth was clear and tasty, with a good amount of meat. I had the oxtail pho at my resent visit and I really enjoyed it a lot! The restaurant was nice, big and clean, the service was fast and friendly, will try to go back in the future, probably for another bowl of oxtail pho!

    This is the first time I went to a Pho joint and no one ordered Pho. Came here during lunch time for bosses day and there was ample parking at Mccully shopping center. When we went inside there were not that many patrons however, there was only one lady taking care of the entire restaurant. Luckly my co-worker was a true viet and went to where the server was (she was in the kitchen) to flag her for our order. We did ala carte style and ordered the "spring roll noodle" (spring rolls inside pho noodles w/o the broth), "papaya salad", "shaken beef" (marinated bbq beef squares), and "banh xeo"(vietnamese pancakes mixed with bean sprouts and shrimp). The food came out in a timely manner. My favorite was the "shaking beef" (bo luc lac) because it was so flavorful and tender. I also enjoyed the "banh xeo" but it was difficult to pick up with a chopstick. Overall our meal was enjoyable. I came here before and order the Pho but I didn't think it was that great. I would defiantly come here again but and order other stuff other than the pho. I totally forgot this place accepts the Isle Discount card with 10% off Monday-Friday. Pho 777 is a great place for legit viet food.

  • Melissa K.

    Aside from the convenient location and the parking lot, I don't know why this place seems to be so popular. The food is fine if you want a clean, well-maintained restaurant, but the pho broth is bland and the flavors of the sour soup are off. The pho broth was blah and adding hot sauce and plum sauce did not help. It tasted like water with a slight beef flavor. Flat. The catfish sour soup was overpowered by sweetness-- definitely unbalanced. The catfish pieces were super fatty and unappetizing. Between the unbalanced flavors, the bland pho broth, and the fatty catfish pieces, no one wanted to finish the pho or the soup. Honolulu has a lot of pho restaurants-- I'd suggest going elsewhere.

    I used to come here pretty often, mainly because it's open late and there's usually no wait. Sometimes the food takes long, and it's difficult to get the waiter's attention, but I usually don't mind because it seems to be a family run business (I think?) However, I came around Christmas time and had the worst experience ever! First of all, when we were seated it took around 15 minutes for us to flag down a server. When we finally ordered, we waited about another 20 minutes and noticed that the table next to us that came later got their food first. At this point I was getting irritated because I'm HUNGRY and my food is taking long!! Then when it came I noticed I didn't get my meat. (I order my meat outside). Again, another 10 minutes JUST to get the attention of a server. We finally let him know I didn't get my meat and he brings it but at this point my soup isn't even as hot as before so my meat didn't really cook all the way.... didn't even offer to re-heat my soup :( BUT. The final straw came when my friend noticed a dead fly in his soup... gross. Totally gross. I've never gone back again. The food is good, but the service could really use improvement.

    Sad face, sad face, sad face!!!!!! I don't like the food and definitely don't like the service. No one greeted us, menus were just placed on the table, someone asked us "what do you want", and no one thanked us when we left. This time my tip definitely reflected the service!!! Boyfriend had the oxtail pho and I had spicy pork vermicelli. My dish had spaghetti noodles in it...it tasted exactly like spaghetti noodles in a pork broth :-/ before deciding to eat here we passed Sweet Home Cafe, Hot Pot Heaven, and So Dong Gong...other than the last place the wait was too long and we decided to eat at pho 777. Such a mistake that won't happen again, I hardly touched my food, I even tried to drink my bf's oxtail soup cause I was still hungry! Thankfully my hot head was cooled down by a delicious dessert at Snow Factory.

    The only pho restaurant I only went for while now, since its close to where i live. the food is pretty good always order the combo meat. but the server is not what you called friendly. they make you put stuff for them like chop sticks and sauce. why would i tip them, its like im working there.... but i wouldnt expect happy environment but at least a little would be nice.

  • Haein P.

    I may as well be Vietnamese from all the pho I eat and crave all day, err'day (almost). I was never exposed to good pho, or pho at all for that matter, until moving to Hawaii a few years ago. Pho in Korea doesn't cut it - at ALL. It took me a little while to get my preferences down and get used to the acquired flavors and spices that were entirely new to me, but once I did, I was hooked and needed a regular fix of my hearty, warm, bowl of beefy goodness. Although I wasn't a huge fan of pho 777 at first (namely due to the fact that I felt as though they were using the wrong kind of noodles, they were too round and more like Asian spaghetti noodles than pho/rice noodles), they happen to be one of the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants around (according to a few of my Vietnamese friends) and they also changed their noodles to the regular kind. +The pho is flavored to hot perfect with a myriad of spices and ingredients (cinnamon, cilantro, beef, fat, onion, ginger, star anise, etc) that taste more prominent and slow-cooked than that of other restaurants. +house special bahn mi sandwich - amazing. I love banh mi and pho 777 does know how to pork up a good sandwich with all its contrasting flavors and textures (sweet, spicy, sour, salty, briney, creamy, crunchy from the pickled daikon and carrots, charsiu meat, homemade mayo, toasted french baguette) + fried egg and mochi - such a good appetizer despite its not-so-appealing appearance and presentation. it's simple comfort food at its best! The service is definitely hit or miss, but the food more than well makes up for the lack of attention and assertiveness at times. PLUS, it's open until midnight or so making it so much more attainable for the busy, hard-working college student (like little old moi!)

    Delicious!! Always hot, always big servings. Plus they have a bar and they're open pretty late. Only downside is that the dining room is pretty chilly! Gotta eat a lot of pho to warm up!!! ....hey, maybe they do that on purpose...O_o

  • Christina T.

    Pho is pretty good, especially because this place is open so late and as far as I know, the only pho restaurant open past 9pm which is obviously nice for late night cravings. My experiences; -an extremely long period of time between ordering food and receiving food -terrible service -waited 45 minutes for chicken pho while all 6 of my friends were served their food 15 minutes before. Had to walk to the kitchen (not enough servers) and asked what the heck was up because it was ridiculous to wait that long for pho. I was then told "they were out of chicken"???! (Took them literally 45 minutes to realize their kitchen had no chicken) I laughed, and cancelled my order. I wonder how long I would have sat there waiting if I didnt get up and ask them myself. Never been back since!

    Great location to get your late night pho fix. relatively cheap and seating is usually always available. located conveniently on the slight outskirts of town so it's also close to big malls, other eateries and businesses. parking is a little meh, McCully has these awkward stalls that seem cramped and during prime time (6-9pm) it's almost fustrating to find parking. luckily there's a downstairs garage, but even that gets full fast. So plan ahead! As far as the food, it's nothing too spectacular but it is pretty affordable along with combo meals and side dishes that are great! personally love the spring rolls, summer rolls, the thai tea, and i always get the pho w/meat balls, well-done flank and brisket. A dinner for two, can sometimes be all under $25. Service is sporadic, sometimes the service is fast, and sometimes it takes forever to even order. the workers and owners are pretty chill and everybody seems to move at a moderate pace. Again, service is ok. Nothing special. Restrooms are bit on the sketch side, a little on the un-kept side. Just a heads up, don't spend too much time in there, almost feels like they neglect the restrooms on purpose, but yeah not very sanitary. Overall a great late night eatery to have some Vietnamese food and drinks. They have alcohol so don't sweat for all you who want a beer with your food. But again there are a lot of great pho places, but i always come back to this place because it is the only pho place that is open really late. check it out guys!

    I came here again because I was craving papaya salad and Dee Thai was closed. Also, this was the closest thing to work that I had in 15 minutes. WOW. Not only did it take 15 minutes to come out, it was so ew. The sauce was oily! And orange! And the waiters walk around like zombies. HOW ANNOYING when you're on a time frame. Probably also when you're not! PS. This review has nothing to do with the irritating little girl who kept running around the restaurant and spitting rice all over the ground and pulling straws out of everyone's cups. Damn parents who can't discipline their kids. But I guess that's the kind of people you'll find when you eat at a place like this.

    Not a great experience, first of all the table cloth looked dirty with food spots all over. The condiment containers were covered with sticky grease, as was some of the utensils and the little sauce plates. Most of the help was too busy using their smart phone and seemed annoyed that they had to help customers. Food was mediocre at best. Preparation and presentation is not priorities here. Food was served the way you would expect from a roadside stall. The only positive thing I can say is that the price was low so my expectations should have been low too.

    I like this place because it's walking distance from home, the pho is good, and service is quick. This is your run-of--the-mill vietnamese restaurant where you seat yourself, you order quick, and you pay at the counter when you're done. The pho broth is good. It's not too salty or oily and has tons of flavor. I have not tried anything else besides pho dac biet from this restaurant since I only go to vietnamese restaurants because I crave pho. This place definitely satisfies that craving.

    Pho 777 is the Taco Bell of Vietnamese food. I mean that in the best way possible. Seriously. At Taco Bell you choose your favorite combination of meat, cheese, lettuce and shell. Although the names may be different, don't let them fool you, its the same ingredients that go into each item. Soft taco? thats beef lettuce cheese soft tortilla. Hard taco? Same beef, same cheese, same lettuce, hard shell. Crunchwrap supreme? EVERYTHING IN ONE. So basically Pho 777 is the same concept. Take your choice of meat, veggies, broth, noodles, and temperature and choose your favorite combination of all of the above. Do you like beef, hot broth, noodles and veggies? That's a large beef pho. Do you like veggies, cold, shrimp, and noodles? Those are summer rolls. The best parts of Pho 777 is that they are open late if you're looking for a pho fix and they accept the Isle Discount card for 10% off.

    I absolutely love the PHO here! It's one of the BEST places I have ever eaten at! Even though the PHO is very good, i must admit the service here is very slow. Unless you're with some good company that will keep you occupied the waiting will get to you, especially if you're hungry and in a hurry. I have eaten here twice and done take out twice. The two times I have eaten here, it has been an okay experience. There was always a bit of a wait to get your food and no one really refills your water, which is kind of annoying. But the family that runs/owns the restaurant are pretty nice people so it makes the wait a bit more bearable. The two times I have called in for a take out there was definitely a 15-20 minute wait, which does not sit well with me. I called ahead of time to let them know when im coming but still when i arrive on time I wait 15-20 minutes for my food. I don't think they start making the food until you arrive, so if you're doing a pick up there's really no point in calling in. Just go in and tell them what you want and come back 20 minutes later and it SHOULD be ready for you. So although the food here is good and not too expensive, the service here definitely needs a bit of an improvement. But all in all 4 stars for this place! So if you're a first timer for pho or an regular pho eater like me, this is a place to definitely check out with some good company!

    Can't count how many times I've been here. It's just one of those places you just keep coming back to with your friends and family. The food here is hands down one of the best I have ever tried at a Vietnamese restaurant. There pho, salads, vermicelli, and rolls ARE AMAZING! Gotta try em all and gotta love em all! My favorite has definitely been the Pho Meat Combo! Great size and definitely great broth! A great recovery food if you're either sick or haning (haha). Try the Lemon Beef Salad...IT IS BOMB! Not too many people have heard of this, but let me tell you...you won't regret ordering this delicious salad! The service here is ok I guess. Have to flag them down a couple of times to get water. But...they have never messed up on an order yet. So they are definitely doing something right. The prices are decent but the parking sucks at McCully. So be prepared for some stall hunting! PHO-NATIC...SIGNING OUT!

    Great little restaurant in a very busy location. Friendly servers and a very nice little wine list. Not many Vietnamese PHO restaurants that have a decent selection and house wine ( Pinot Grigio and Merlot) for $17.00 a bottle.... I like the Cuvaison Chardonny after my bottle of Perrier Jouet Champagne.....yum, yum :)

    Being from San Francisco, I've had some pretty awesome pho in life. I've also had some horrid places. But I'd have to say this place is definitely where I've come back to over and over again and this is the only pho restaurant I've brought my friends to. They do have their pros and cons, but it's nothing out of the ordinary that I don't already expect from Vietnamnese restaurants. Pros: Fresh pho, hot soup, lots of veggies, awesome selection of cold noodles, bbq meats, crunchy and fatty pieces of spring rolls, super fresh summer rolls, and yummy dessert drinks. Free parking in the private lot, lots of seating, food comes out fast. Cons: 2 out of the 3 regular servers I get are always grouchy or the 'too cool' to talk to you attitude with you. Pricey for pho, but I guess what's not on this island -.-^

    One of my favorite noodle dishes is Pho!! I absolutely love it! Usually I go to china town because It's the cheapest place to get Pho. I don't like going in to china town so i like to discover new places. . Pho 777 is by far one of my favorite places to eat Pho for a number of reasons. First off, I like the broth, its really tasty. Usually restaurants put A LOT of MSG in their broth which isn't the best for you. Whenever I eat foods that are heavy in MSG, i tend to get really thirsty and dehydrated and need to drink A LOT of water. At this place, I don't drink as much water and it's so flavorful that it tastes like the broth took hours to make. Secondly, the price is pretty reasonable for Pho. Lastly, the food comes nice and quick and still HOT. One of my favorite types of PHO is PHO with rare steak. I like to get the steak raw outside so that it doesn't overcook the meat. Their portions are pretty good too so if I'm not starving, the small portion will do. if your not into PHO, I recommend the beef salad. It is a light salad with beef,onions, and cilantro on top garnished with peanuts. It has a tangy vinaigrette dressing that goes well with it. Also, if your looking for something refreshing to drink, I highly recommend the lemonade. It's not too tart and not too sweet and it is fresh squeezed!! Unfortunately, the only reason for the missing star in my rating is the service and the parking! Usually when I dine here, the waiter pretty much gives me a menu, comes back to take my order, and then when I am done I HAVE to go to the cashier to get the bill because if not I will be waiting forever. The service isn't that bad but it isn't that great either. The good thing is that the food comes quick so I don't mind. Then there is the parking!! Well this place is located in the McCully Shopping Center (need i say more). There are a ton of businesses at the shopping center but not enough parking. There is additional parking located down below in the basement but it is just a single level parking with not too much stalls. Overall, I enjoy this place very much and whenever i want to get my Pho fix, this is the place to go! it's also an added bonus that my favorite milk tea place is right below it called Coffee or Tea?!

    I live right around the corner from Pho 777, GREAT pleasure to do so! Everything I have eaten here has been quite delicous. The pho has a lovely aromatic broth, which brought me back to life one night after a 10 hour hike in Moole Valley. Thank you soup gods a'plenty! I always get the meat combo pho (meatballs, brisket, and rare round). The crispy spring rolls are very ono. Served with romaine, mint, and of course fish sauce. The ox tail soup, local delicacy, is one of my favorites. The only reason they loss a star is due to service. I frequent this location and it's hit or miss. Recently i went for lunch and the staff was arguing about something in full view of the entire restaurant. Things got quite heated and made for an uncomfortable dining environment. I don't recall his name, my apologies, but he is a young man with a spiked mohawk, he is a great server!

    Chili oil here is the best with your pho or spicy beef. Service is great and they know their loyal customers and just what they want and how. I walk in and they automatically know what I want and work on it right away.

    I've been here twice. Food is alright, but there are many other Vietnamese restaurant options. Customer service was horrible both times! The first time was a few months ago when I went to dine in with a friend between lunch and dinner time. There were only two other tables in the restaurant, but we were ignored for a good fifteen minutes after being seating. There was no apology. They did nothing to make the experience enjoyable. Today I ordered take out. If I pay $12 for a plate, I probably want to eat it. No utensils. Of course not. Why WOULD they give utensils with a take out order? Oh, and not even one napkin. So now I get to wait two hours to eat some cold food at home. Pretty over this place.

    The worst service I've ever experienced in a restaurant. The food came out quickly & was decent but we had to get up & go hunt someone down just to get spoons. The waiter ignored us most of the time & when we were ready to pay no one wanted to help us. We stood at the counter trying to get someone to help us but the waiter just looked at us & continued doing what he was doing without so much as a word. Finally someone rang us up. Yes they're open late & the location is convenient but save yourself the frustration & go somewhere else for pho. The food was not worth the experience. I'd give them zero stars if I could. They need to hire people who seem to give a damn about their job not act like they hate the world.

    First of all We weren't greeted, we had to seat ourselves. Our server was cool, he gave us time to order, drinks and food came out quick. The pho killed our appetite. Halfway through the bowl of pho there appeared to be cockroach body parts in the soup

    This used to be our default spot because of proximity to home. Never exceptional, but easy and open late. Now that we've moved, so has our new regular spot. The other night it was randomly closed, so we again defaulted to Pho 777. Big mistake. We were the only customers when we walked in. Ordered a small pho, spicy lemongrass beef, and spring rolls. In the time it took my beau to finish his dinner the server didn't come back once, not even to notice that my pho was missing. It was only when I asked for the check that said "oh, don't you want your pho.. its coming". Mind you, in this time 4 tables had come in, eaten their steamy bowl of medicore noodles, and had either left or were leaving. NOW my noodles are coming? No, thanks. The server was quick to blame it on the kitchen for forgetting, putting an even stronger distaste in my mouth. Own up to your own err's, homie. Good news is, I'm officially done with this place. No more wasting time, money, calories on this subpar establisment.

    Give them another shot. This time I am even more disappointed. The service is horrible, the food is old, I couldn't finish my dish, I went home, threw up and got sick. And if you scare of Gecko, you don't come here because they might crawl on you from underneath the table. We didn't want to make a scene, so we just paid and definitely Will never go back again

    Last time I was here, it took about 20 minutes to get seated. Then it took about another 15 minutes to get some water and menus. We actually had to stop a waiter & ask request for it. After ordering, it took about half an hour to get our food. I was disappointed because I've heard from many friends that their pho was pretty good. It didn't really phase me. It tasted kind of bland to me. The noodles were undercooked also. Don't know about coming back..

    Came here the other day with my favorite foodie friend and I was totally disappointed! The tofu tasted sour. The flavors were bland. The Service was slow. I really dislike it when I recommend a place and then am let down so greatly. It really makes me sad.

    Great place to get my Pho fix. Usually get the special #25 with the tendons, beef balls, tripe, and steak. Service is fast and they're not as crowded as the other place down the street. Also tried the spring rolls which was very tastee. Would make this my regular hangout for pho.

  • Annie K.

    I LOVE PHO. I was pretty excited to try a new pho place. Sad to say, it was a disappointment. I usually order steak, beef balls, and tripe. Personally, I don't prefer fatty beef ball or beef balls with the cartilage or whatever it is. Just the sight of it makes feel icky. That is just me. When I entered the restaurant, it looked and feel clean but when we started preparing our utensils and looking at our sauce dish, that was another story. The little sauce dishes were a sticky. On a better note, I did enjoy the spring rolls and the fact that they had 3 sizes for pho: small, medium, and large. Small for the bite size appetites. Medium for the hungry. Large for the mommies to share with their little ones. :)

    My visit was bad since I walked into the restaurant!!!! No one acknowledge us when my friends and I walked in during lunchtime on Friday. The lady owner was too busy talking to another guy to even say hi/welcome or let us know which table to sit at. So we figured all right no problem, however the restaurant was practically empty, so what was she so busy with?!!! After sitting down, we waited 5 minutes before getting a menu. And waited an additional 5 minutes for someone to come take our order. The slightly younger guy took our order with a tone and facial expression like his dog died or something. When asked about an item on the menu, he stupidly starred into space. Geez, you would think people would be appreciative of getting some business. All the small saucers on the table were still dirty with soap water and the spoons were still dirty as well. May I kindly suggest a dishwasher? There was also a moth in one of my friends bowl of pho and they didn't even apologize! As if the previous horrible service wasn't bad enough, the lady owner charged us with random charges on our bill and tried to pass it off as "tax" for HI's general exercise tax. She then attempted to lecture me about taxes with her horrible English & accused me of not understanding state laws. Pleease, I've studied taxes during my undergraduate years... Food wasn't horrible, but there could've been a few more slices of meat in my pho! Charging $3 more for the combo for 3 pieces of meat is ridiculous. As for the service and cleanliness....absolutely THE WORST. There are many other Pho places that would actually be honest and show gratitude for our business. This place is nothing special. DEFINITELY NOT GOING THERE AGAIN!

    Hot pho on cold day! Minus the parking situation at McCully which isn't Pho 777's fault, it's a great place to get your Vietnamese at. There's almost never a line and it is outside the Chinatown chaos.

  • Doris D.

    Decent pho place, the broth isn't anything special. I got the spring roll and BBQ pork bun, which had tons of greens to my liking. My husband really liked his garlic pork and shrimp rice plate. The Vietnamese coffee is nice and strong too. But if you're looking for pho, I wouldn't count this place as a go-to place. Service was unbearably slow, our beverages (coffees and coke) didn't come out until 60% into the meal, dishes came out slow, bill came slow as well. The restaurant wasn't that full at all at lunch time.

  • Matt M.

    Service sucked. Order came out backwards. To go box had a cockroach in it. So we asked that we not pay for the meal. And the lady argued infront of other customers and threatened to call the cops. There was a hair in our soup too. DO NOT GO HERE

    After being exposed and used to "Seattle-Pho" I was anxious to try Pho in Hawaii. I certainly had high expectations, but my experience here was unfortunately disappointing. The location is great as there is frequent parking in the McCully shopping center. The restaurant itself was clean, full-bar, Vietnamese TV and a lot of seating. I ordered the chicken pho, my boyfriend got pho with everything and extra meatballs, and we got our usual order of fresh spring rolls. I'm not really sure why, but the pho broth was SO different than what I'm used to. It was VERY minty and it honestly didn't set well on my palette. It made me wonder if my Seattle-Pho was not "real" pho. LOL Both our pho's had very little broth (not full at all), but a lot of noodles/meat. We did enjoy our fresh, shrimp spring rolls, but I didn't enjoy the peanut sauce very much. Service was fine and our water glasses were never empty so that was definitely a plus.

    It's a toss up between a 3 and a 4, but my boyfriend and I are regulars and haven't had any problems (that we know of) just yet. Pros: We come here a lot because it's convenient. I work in town, he lives 2 minutes away from McCully Shopping Center. We both love pho. Their veggie tofu pho is on point. It's cheap, and the taste is usually always good. Their late night hours are perfect for our busy schedule, even though they aren't open till 2AM anymore T__T Cons: My friend just instagrammed a medium sized roach in her pho. I hate to put them on blast, but that's what yelp is for. That picture made me sick to my stomach considering how often I go there. It wasn't a baby either. I do think cleanliness is something they lack, which is pretty much the only reason why I can't give them 5 stars.

    4 stars for the food. The food is great. Service was really poor. Had to stand up and help myself to water, waitress was really rude and grouchy, and they did not accept our Isle discount card because she didn't know how to work the register and apparently only the manager knew how and he was gone. I asked if she could void the transaction and ring it up again, and she said they can't....idk????

  • Krista R.

    I love their vermicelli spring roll salad, and I always order grilled shrimp instead of pounded shrimp. Lately they have been making it a little on the hot side so if you prefer fresh and crisp ask them to hold back on the spicyness. I've been coming here for years and also enjoy their beef pho. They play Vietnamese and some American DVD's, which can be entertaining :-) The waitress that works most of the time here really knows how to hustle- she is awesome!!!

  • Ryan K.

    Are you a pho expert? I've had a lot of different phos in many countries and it's so subjective. Clear broth or hardy broth. Oily or not. This pho rates pretty high. Not too salty and the noodles are not soggy at all. I really come here for the bo thai chanh (lemon beef salad). This is rare beef cooked in lemon juices and tossed with basil, lettuce and herbs with a sweet spicy dressing. If you are adventurous please try it, you may get hooked!

    I ate here tonight after a very long day of work because my friend Roni was craving pho and it was the only place open late. All I wanted was to sit down and eat a bowl of noodles without hassle, but I went to the wrong place. Roni was running a few minutes late because she drives like a sleepwalking snail, but I already knew what she wanted to eat, so I sat down and waited for someone to greet me or give me water. I waited 5 minutes, then Roni showed up. We waited 10 more minutes. No one was even looking in our direction. My face was starting to contort into a decidedly unfriendly frown. Luckily, Roni was able to get the man's attention before my smile turned upside down. The server asked me what we wanted, so I said, "My friend would like a pho tai with the meat inside . . . HELLO, ARE YOU LISTENING?" I hadn't even finished my first sentence, and he had already zoned out, pen frozen in midair, eyes rolled back in his head. I'm usually not such a witch, but it IS close to Halloween, I'd worked hard all day and night, and the bad service was not winning me over. I started over, "Can you write it down? She wants a pho tai and I'd like a #45 with egg noodles." He seemed to wake up and scribbled something down in his pad. Whatever he scribbled was the wrong thing. I'd ordered dry egg noodles in a sauce tossed with seafood and I got the one in soup. Of course, I had to hunt the guy down and tell him that. Giving me a most dubious look, he took the wrong order away. While I was waiting, I tried Roni's pho. It was awful--the worst pho I've ever eaten. The broth was so weak, it was beyond bland and had none of that delicious, long-simmered beef bone flavor, no cinnamon or anise, or anything tasty in there. Poor Roni even added shoyu to help it along. Bleh. Five minutes later, another guy showed up with the right order. "You order this one?" he asked. "Yes, thank you," I replied. "What number is it?" "FORTY FIVE! GET LOST!!" Okay, I didn't say the "get lost" part, but seriously, you're really going to test me, a$$hole? Really???!! Anyway, the guy really did get lost. It's impossible to get any kind of service in there. No water refills, no check-back to see if you need anything, no manners or customer service. I even had to walk to another table to get napkins and spoons. The only thing we got without asking was the check. My noodles were so disappointing. There was hardly any seafood on them, the sauce was thin, they forgot my plate of lettuce, beansprouts, and side of red vinegar, and when I asked for the side of pickled jalapenos and garlic that usually comes with it, they reacted like I escaped from an insane asylum AND was speaking Czech to them. We don't care if it is the only place serving pho late at night; we are never going there again.

    Dang! I left very impressed by the vegetarian-friendly spirit to Pho 777. The menu (at least when I dined there) highlighted in green the vegetarian options. Yum! During that night's dining experience, my buddy and I opted for the appetizers because of a late night after an event. We split the veggie spring rolls, and I gobbled down my veggie tofu summer rolls with peanut sauce. Delicious! I will be back, especially since I overheard that the veggie pho uses veggie broth, not the usual beef broth. The place was hopping for a late Thursday night. Parking available in the garage below the businesses - if you don't want to fight for parking in the front lot.

    After getting a "Super Jumbo Pudding Milk Tea (w/ Pearl)" from "Coffee or Tea", my friend and I were drawn by Pho 777's flashing OPEN neon light. Being that we hadn't eaten dinner yet, we decided to give it a whirl. The place was spaceous and not that many people were there at the time. Then an employee (from behind their counter) pointed out where to sit. 5 minutes passed then our menus came out. Had to ask for water and spoons!!! It took another 10 minutes for someone to take our order and during that whole time, they decided to clean dirty tables before attending to us! So, we ordered spring rolls, a medium and a large combo both (rare steak inside). Spring rolls came out first which were pretty good compared to other pho places I've visited. Moments later, the pho came. Good sized portions and the noodles were soft. Broth was tasty and full of flavor. I like their chili garlic sauce. All in all, food was great. Need to try other items on their menu. Better customer service a plus!

    Used to love it here. Mostly because they had good oxtail pho with lots of meat at decent prices. Went there today and was severely disappointed. The meat had so much fat on it that you couldn't even see the meat. By the time I was done eating, there was a whole layer of white fat bits covering my soup. Gross!

    Not bad! The vietnamese food here was pretty good. This is my first visit here. We were looking for somewhere to eat and stumbled across this shopping center. The shopping center had tons of other cuisines to choose from, but we chose to try this place because we were tired of italian and curry. Upon centering the restaurant, the decor of the place was very nice. It was organized and very clean. They serve all their food on actual ceramic plates rather the usually plastic you get in asian restaurants, which kind of told me maybe the prices are little higher than any other vietnamese restaurant. For the decor, I give them one star. As for the food, I ordered the #46, which is the seafood crispy noodle. That dish was $14.95, a little pricey, but well worth the price. The dish was huge, easily shared between two people. It had a good amount of noodle to sauce as well. It wasnt totally drenched, it still the crispy effect. This dish was amazing. The noodles had a great airiness to it, really fantastic taste. For the food alone, I give them 3 stars. As for the customer service, it lacked a little. Once we were seated, the waitress wanted us to order right away. I was thinking, "give us a few minutes, geez I never been here before." They have a extensive menu, so I actually wanted a chance to look at it, but after asking for a few minutes, the lady was back two minutes later jumping down our throats to order, so we finally ordered after sending her away just one more time. After we got our food, she never came back to check on us to see if we needed anything else. If the customer service was a little better, I would of given them the full 5 stars, but alas, it wasn't very good, so I am solid on only 4 stars overall. I haven't tried the pho yet, but I may come back to try it, but maybe to go. :)

    We had a substantially different experience last night eating here, since last time. Eating here is usually a good experience. Out of town family and I decided to come here after visiting Sizzler's. Sizzler's was a bit expensive at about $30 a person for just steak and salad bar. We decided to come here instead. Coming here was a mistake. Parking was very bad on street level, but there were many stalls in the basement. Once we got to the restaurant, the wait time for a seat was about ten minutes. Nothing to complain about yet, especially on a Christmas night. The decor was nice. They had a gold buddha statue in front and there were Christmas deocrations. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, even in its busy state. We ordered our food, three different bowls of Pho, BBQ Pork, Thai Iced Tea, and water. The pho and tea came out in less than ten minutes, but we had to ask for the basil, bean sprouts, lemon, and jalapeno peppers. The BBQ Pork did not come out yet, but we just assumed that it would take a little more time. We were about halfway done with our bowls of pho, and our order of BBQ Pork still did not arrive. Also, my sister ordered just a rare beef pho, and started finding things she hated in her bowl. She hates beef brisket and tripe, and both were in her bowl. She asked to change it out and the manager came over and asked, "Why didn't you tell us before eating so much. It might had been a mistake and been someone else's." We did not believe it was our fault, because the waiter came by and announced that it was an order of "rare beef pho." Whatever happened to "the customer is always right?" In addition, I couldn't believe they would be willing to serve it to someone else after digging through in the bowl. About five minutes later, the manager came by with a new bowl of "rare beef pho." This time, it was okay. My sister found no foreign objects in the bowl, and she was happy with it. We still did not receive our BBQ Pork yet. We asked about the order and waiter went to check on it. It was like the BBQ Pork was forgotten. When we were about done with our Pho, and after more than a half an hour after ordering, the BBQ Pork finally came. It was bad because there were four of us in our party, and one of us was just watching the rest of us eat. After receiving the BBQ Pork, there were no apologies for the wait. The fourth member of our party just rushed to scarf it down because the rest of us were done. Two of us had drank all of our water and there was no offer to refill it. There were three people at the cash register and it did not seem like all three needed to be there. It would have been better if they checked on us to see if we needed anything. After we were done I walked up to the cashier to pay for the food. The manager asked if everything was okay. I told him that "the BBQ Pork took a really long time." He did not seem a bit bothered and just told me that it took long because they were busy. This surprised me, because even though they were busy, I don't think it should have taken that long to bring the food out. It was as if they cooked the rice when we ordered and had to wait for the rice to be finished. The BBQ Pork was thinly sliced, so it does not take too long to cook. Also the salad and soup were simple. One good thing about our visit, was that they finally had hand soap inside of the restroom. I was happy about that. The food was also good, except for the really long wait time for one dish, and the mistake made with one bowl of pho.

    Pho 777 is pretty good especially when it's late and you're craving pho. Unlike most pho places, Pho 777 is open fairly late. I believe they are open to midnight. I've tried their pho many times (of course) as well as their rice mochi with egg and their house special fried rice. The fried rice was okay. It was supposed to come with chicken broth (not too sure why) but whenever I order it or my friends order it, they always forget to bring the broth :[ . I didn't really mind because I don't eat it with the broth but just felt that was worth mentioning :P. The servers are super friendly, maybe even too friendly..made me feel slightly awkward but they're harmless and pretty fast, except for when it comes to bringing the check. Price is a little expensive for pho unfortunately and parking can be horrible at peak meal times at McCully but that can be expected.

    I have come to the conclusion that Pho is a remedy. Whether you're hanging, starving or heart broken, pho will be there for you to warm your crying soul. I tried pho 777 for the first time last night and I was surprised to see what a big menu they have. For a pho place, they have quite a variety! I've always heard good things about this place and I can see why. Their portions are pretty decent as well as their prices. So clearly, I usually eat pho but yesterday I wanted to be brave. I tried their vermacelli with pork bruche. It was like vietnamese meatballs! it was a mixture of vermacelli, bean sprouts, basil, and the meatball and then you mix everything with their fish oil sauce and then VOILA, magic appears and its ready to be eaten. I liked it. my boyfriend is the very one to encourage me on writing this review because he ABSOLUTELY LOVES this place. He loves their pho. It makes him cry with tears of joy. So I shall return for some pho so maybe I can have the same tears of joy after. Tip: They accept the ID cards, 10% cheehoo for discount!

    Came here because there wasn't much else to do with my friends (they're underage still -__-;) Their pho is decent...expensive for what you get in my opinion and the quality is so-so. The noodles are a bit on the hard side (didn't know that was possible) and the broth is just average. I'm glad that they provide all the necessary condiments. Thai tea was decent. Nothing special. Service was super slow. I think this was the longest I've ever had to wait for pho.

  • Ashley N.

    This place gets two stars because on the positive side, the pho is good and they offer small, medium, and large sizes. On the negative side, service sucks. There have been numerous times that I've gone here in the morning to eat and I'm just sitting, waiting at the table to get menus, water, anything! Seriously! The restaurant can be completely empty and you're just sitting there wasting your life away, waiting for someone to serve you. The funny thing is that they have a bell on the door at the entrance so you can hear when people go in and out...obviously it's good for nothing! Another thing I observed when sitting at the restaurant was the phone ringing, and no one even came out to answer it! Dear God! Would I recommend this place? Maybe. But you better just be going there for the pho. Don't expect good service or maybe any service for that matter.

  • Mark M.

    One of my good friends introduced me to this place. I wasn't really into Pho before but everything changed. I always try something different everytime i go to places, but when i go to a Vietnamese Resturant, i always end up getting the same item, Vermicelli Noodles with Springrolls (and it depends on my mood) if with BBQ Pork or BBQ Chicken. But when i got here, i tried the Pho Combination. It was like heaven! I am no where close to being an expert in Pho but my taste buds or my satisfied stomach lie! It was delicious. Especially when combined with that "spicy sauce" and oyster sauce that they have! Writing this review just makes me want to go there and eat some. Pho 777's Pho comes in S/M/L with fresh sprouts, basil leaves, mint, jalapenos, and lemons! With these garnishes, it makes the Pho so much refreshing. Here's a tip: PHO MAKES A REALLY GOOD HANGOVER MEDICINE! This place is neat and clean. The Service is excellent. The staffs were friendly and very approachable. They OPEN 'til 1 AM. and they ACCEPT CREDIT CARD!

    My family went here for dinner because it was a rainy night and they were open. I wasn't really craving for pho so I ordered their pork chop and shredded pork plate. The plate also comes with rice, 2 pieces of cucumber and tomatoes, a lettuce leaf, a soup broth? and sauce. The pork chop and rice were delicious when it was piping hot but after that, it tasted bland. As for the shredded pork, I took one taste of it and never touched it afterwards. It had a weird taste to it. I also didn't like the broth soup that came with my plate so I placed the shredded pork in their for it to be forgotten. As for the pho, the broth was a-okay. The medium was huge so she shared her pho with me. She got the combination which included beef balls, briskets, beef and tripe. There could've been more stuff though. My first sip of broth tasted not too good but as I got to sip more, it began tasting alright. It had a meaty taste to it. We also ordered a 4 piece spring roll which was good. The good thing about this location is that it closes late, so three stars for Pho 777.

    I've been to quite a few Vietnamese restaurants, and this was the worst. Maybe they never had a chance after I used their restroom, which stunk of vomit. But even putting that aside, their green papaya salad was limp and flavorless. Their bun was ok. I won't be going back.

    Came on a Tuesday morning when the owner was all alone and it was already busy! Felt so bad he was by himself to cook and take care of customers. Our order took a bit long but it was okay as we could tell he was trying his best! Can't help it if everyone wants to eat there :) there was a party of 11 and 6 that came in after us. I ordered the oxtail pho (had oxtail before but never in pho) and it was delicious ! Loved it! Broth was flavorful as well! Wish I had ordered a bigger size. There are three sizes you can get, medium is good amount! I got a small this time though because I wanted a three bean dessert! This one was good, but I took out the ice because there were some huge chunks. Dad got the mochi cake with egg, which he enjoyed. Boyfriend got a vermicelli bowl and holy crap, there was a lot of meat! So yummy. I had to help him eat some ;) fine with me! Brother also liked his noodle soup, some kind of clear vermicelli.

    I come to Honolulu once a year and this year I found 777. I have eaten lots of Vietnamese food in my life and this restaurant is oneof the places I will eat everyday. Pho, bun mang vit, canh chua Tom, ca kho to, ga zap xa ot all delicious. I will be back next year to eat here.

    I wouldn't order the Oxtail Pho. The Oxtail was very fatty and it wasn't boiled long enough for the meat to fall off the bone. The meat was tough and the taste was very bland. Soup was the same as you would have at any other Pho restaurants.

    Place was dirty even after the server had wipe down our tables, we had to use our daughters baby wipes to completely clean the table. The server with the Mohawk wasn't nice at all, I had ordered bbq chicken vermicelli with a side of summer rolls. Mid way eating through dinner we come to find out that he forgot about my summer rolls after asking the front cashier about it. The food is great which is the only reason why I keep coming back but everything else about this place sucks.

    Since when was instant pho consider a 10 buck bowl of pho? The broth was horrendous. Seriously I'm pretty sure the took instant pho to make my bowl of chicken pho. Chicken pho broth is suppose to be light color mine was a dark must brown. Nasty pho and will never come back! Don't come here!!

    My favorite dish is #31: cold vermicelli noodle with bbq pork and summer rolls. It is refreshing and filled with fresh vegetables. Th bbq is seasoned perfectly and summer roll is always hot, flaky, and filled with savory ingredients.

    I've been here a lot when it first opened, but the last visit was probably after a long time that I did not go and I probably won't go back. The pho and food are still decently good (except the pho could be better), but their service is lack luster. The staff are nice, but it takes a long time just to get water, or the check. They need to improve their service. Oh and clean their cups better. My cup of water was so greasy!!

    I'm originally from Seattle and believe it or not they have AMAZING pho places. I've had some REALLY bad experiences with pho here...one place had spaghetti noodles??? I was pleasantly surprised with 777. I ordered summer rolls, pho tai and a thai tea. They were all delish! The rolls were super fresh tasting. The pho had a great flavor to it, lots of noodles and plenty of veggies...only weird thing...they served it with a lemon instead of a lime, minor detail though. I loved that they gave me the option to have the tai on the side...YESSS! Service was great and the place was really clean. I was even able to connect to w-ifi while I was there (studying for finals). I was also stoked they took credit cards...lots of pho places are cash only. Seemed like their prices were a tad high for pho though. If they would have served a Vietnamese cream puff with it, it would have been heaven! Why don't pho places in HI do that? Anywho, great pho...I'll be back!

    Food is pretty good, open late and near by? Sounds good to me. I'm a little picky with pho since I travel to south east asia a lot. I have notice that no matter what the pho here on Oahu just never stacks up to the stuff over there but it's as good as its going to get. It is what it is, cheap good eats =)

    Service is good. English isn't the servers first language, so if the servers seem rude, they may just not get what you're saying. The food is Ono. Spring rolls are crisp and spiced right. And the pho' is some of the best in town.

    I know I wrote a review raving about how great this place was... Keyword: Was. I ate here last night and things totally turned around for me. The service: Two young boys were running the place. One of them kept making inappropriate jokes. He is so gross and annoying! The other one seemed really stressed out and worried. Wasnt very attentive and took a long time to get his attention. Sauces were not on the table they sat us at. I know I said the service was good and the servers were funny, but this one dude ruined it for everyone. The food: YIKES there are gnats flying around my veggies... Spring rolls were good. However one rolled off the plate and onto our table... the guy just put it back on the plate. I wouldnt trust!!!! The noodles are different from other restaurants (only sometimes?). They are thicker and it seems like theyre undercooked. It was gross. Also, I found a piece of fFOIL in my soup!!! I know it could have been worse! But it makes me nervous when foreign objects are found in my food. Tried to call the worried boy over, but got the jackass instead. He blamed me for the foil...BAD TIME FOR A JOKE. He offered to make me a new one... NO! The manager(?)---an older man came out from the back and took my bowl away. My friend ordered iced coffee with milk... and WOW they put a loooot of condensed milk in it. It looked overly sweetened and gross. I go to pay for my food. The manager(?) came back out from the back again, but he walked away quickly. Boy is still making jokes about charging me $7k. He is sooo annoying! Yes, I did get my pho comped. But if I see that jackass working and I come here again, I am walking out the door and going somewhere else. I ordered the Minced Pork Rolls on a separate occasion. DO NOT ORDER THEM...unless you actually like cold, seasoned cartilage in a summer roll. EWW. This WAS a good spot to come to with my friends, but I would rather go somewhere else!! Really disappointed....

    HUUUUGE fan. i think i like that they're open till midnight. haha. my friends live so close to pho 777, and our friend from malaysia always craves it. so it's perfect in regards to proximity. whenever we go inside, we always sit at the same table...the one right under the television. they play anything from thai music videos to beyonce reruns. it's rather interesting. i keep it simple when i order from here. #15? yes please. and their thai iced tea is sooo good. i think better than souvaly.

    After a long night of drinking I always wake up with the craving for noodles... so I decided that I wanted to try this place out again (even though we came here the other week and I didn't really like it, their extensive menu had me thinking about eating here again). The bf asked me, "are you sure you wanna go back?" because he didn't really care for the pho either, but I had to give this place one more try before making my final decision. And.... I still wasn't impressed *sigh.* He had the same thing again, we ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer (you can get 4 or 6) and I tried the beef stew noodles (if you follow my posts you know I LOVE beef stew noodles and I'm on a quest to find the best one on the island). Although you can pick from a sml,med, or lg pho, mine was only one size (but it looked like it was a medium). The broth was a little thicker than the pho broth which I actually thought would be perfect to dip bread in (the soup can come with either bread or noodles) and it had hints of lemongrass and the basil was already in the broth which was cool that I didn't have to do it myself. There was A LOT of huge chunks of beef in my soup, so much in fact, that I couldn't finish all of it.. and that never happens. But, once again, most pieces were fat or had a small amount of meat and then the rest fat. The beef was tender this time as opposed to when I got the oxtail pho. The spring rolls were good, but I found it odd that for 4 pieces they gave us 2 sprigs of mint, a small amount of noodles, and 2 pieces of lettuce. Overall I give it a 2.5 stars, .5 higher than last time. I just feel the dishes are lacking and quantity does not rule over quality. And the service is also weird. I don't expect much, but it's odd that food comes out whenever it's ready and regardless of whether you ordered an appetizer or not you might get it with the meal, or in today's case, we got it after they brought out only my bf's pho so while he was eating his pho I was left with only the appetizer, waiting for mine to come out... after he was almost half way done. So, unless I'm desperate because every pho restaurant is closed on the island, sad to say, case closed, I'm not a fan of this place. But to each their own, and what may be yucky for me may be yummy for you! Happy eating!

    After getting alcohol poisoning at Oceans 808, I couldn't eat anything and keep it down (is this TMI?). My mom offered to cook me a stockpot of pho, but I just wanted one bowl--and I didn't want her to make stock for half the day (pho is intense!). So off we went to Pho 777. I should've known that this restaurant wasn't very good because although it was busy, no one finished their food--and it wasn't due to the portion size. My parents and I ordered three different soups (pho, hu tieu and chao), all of which left us wanting less. It's not that I expected the pho to taste magical, but it didn't even touch mediocre--I couldn't finish the noodles, let alone the broth. There's one dish here that I can't find anywhere in Hawaii, though, and it's bot chien (literally, fried dough). It's fried rice cakes with a fried egg on top and served with sweet soy sauce. This is neither a must-have nor a healthy item, but I find it comforting having eaten it when I was young in Vietnam. It's like mac salad--you love it if you're from Hawaii, you're mystified by it if you're from anywhere else. But even the bot chien couldn't keep me coming. It's just a side after all--I only revisit pho-nomenal places.

    Would have given their new Hawaii Kai place 5 stars except I was waiting until 10:30 for them to open. The sign says, "10 to 10" and a young man was sitting outside who said, "I'm waiting to go in too." Turns out he's an employee. Cost was not too overpriced especially since Vietnamese food uses fresh exotic ingredients. I ordered a ban mi, an ox tail soup and a spicy beef pho. I bought only the ox tail soup for myself and gave the other food to my nephew. He said that the beef pho made him sweat and he never mentioned the ban mi which was filled with char siu according to the worker when I bought it. My oxtail soup had to wait in my car for 1 and a half hours because of some unforseen delays and I was ravenous by the time I opened the container. It comes with rice but my new doctor may be reading this so I didn't eat it. Heady, spicy, shiitake-y, sweet and honestly, I was surprised it was still hot! Props to those foam containers which still need to have tighter lids. You know if the a specialty ethnic broth isn't good the dish is ruined for me. The ingredients are of equal importance but to start out with the aroma of this brown, clear broth beckoned. It did not disappoint. Just enough salt and redolent with herbs and also celery used so sparingly, it scented the soup with a licorish-y touch. The shiitake mushrooms were plump and plentiful. The ox tails themselves were an OK amount but not trimmed of fat which was soft, white but inedible. Cuz my doctor may be reading this. This of course is just a preference but I do not like my oxtail sawed in half. I suppose they do this to get to some of the flavorful marrow but I always scrape and almost cut my mouth while trying to chew, suck, nibble, on it......as it should be. I'm more fond of the soft, grisly, cylindrical cut joints that just fall apart when you stare hard at it. The meat in this wonderful soup was fall off the bone soft and delicious! For about 10 dolla, this is a decent sized meal if you include the rice, which I didn't. But I suppose for normal sized folk with no carb issues, with the rice it would pretty much be a belly buster. I didn't take the time to smell the rice to see if it was jasmine, my one true love. Next time (and this is definitely a do over for me) I'll check. And if it IS INDEED jasmine rice, my dear doctor can go bang his head against my chart.

    The service here is horrible and the Pho isn't that good but they are open late which is good for everyone who craves Pho after drinking. Clean and open floor plan while being situated in a great location. Last place I would choose to eat at and I LOVE PHO!

    YuuuuuuMmmmmmmmm. The broth is so delish at 777. Makes dealing with the McCully Center parking lot worth it. The small size is pretty big with a lot of meat and noodles. Plus for the hungrier there are 2 larger size options! The spring rolls are thin but are so good that i cant go in without ordering them! I have been there at different times but never had to wait for a table or wait long for my soup. Now i want pho!

  • Florence K.

    I chose to come here one night, because of the awesome reviews I've heard about this place, plus they're open until 2 in the morning, and I was wanting pho at midnight. First of all, they have a pretty good selection of beers, something a lot of pho places don't have, so that's a pretty good thing. They also have a menu filled with a la carte items, pho, rice plates, appetizers, vermicilli, etc. etc. So you can get other things, if you're not craving pho. I ordered the pho combo, and tried some of the vegetarian rolls. They were okay...I would give them three stars just based on food, however, just everything around us just made the meal bad. First of all, they took a WHILE to get to our table to take our order. I believe there were at least three tables that walked in after us, that had their orders taken before we did. The servers in the restaurant seemed to talk to us in a condescending tone, and even the looks they gave us were...just...you know. Just because of that, I don't know, the food just seemed to taste worse than it actually was. Now, I feel so negative, as I hate writing bad reviews, and plus all my yelp friends that have reviewed this place gave such good reviews on Pho 777. But I can find better food, with much better service at other pho restaurants on the island!

    I went to this place once and this is going to be a very short post. Toothpick in the pho... Enough said. And they charged us for it. Never went back, won't be changing my mind. Not even if the President, Lil Wayne, and Kim Kardashian all were going to be there at the same time and I got a call to go do an interview.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants on the island. I go to this place regularly with my friends. I will keep coming back as long as I am here! PROS: -They're open until 2PM! Most places around the island are closed at that hour, but not Pho 777. -There service is fast at the start, and very friendly. They always have a good sense of humor! -Super affordable with excellent portions! -The Finest House Rice Special, and any of the Pho bowls are amazingly tasty. Their steak is a winning meal as well! CONS: -The parking is free but the McCully parking lot gets full really fast. Don't go around popular dinner hours if you can. Go for lunch or a late dinner. -They don't refill your water as fast as you can drink it often. -The servers also tend to disappear after you get your food. You have to then go up to the register when you're ready to pay your bill. -The Thai ice teas are always so tasty but you get so little in one glass. -Good for small groups (of 4 or less), but there's not much room for more than that.

    this review is strictly about the OXTAIL PHO..... the OXTAIL PHO at Pho 777..... sucks. the end. if you dine here, its one of those "it depends on what you eat" kind of places. somethings are good (seafood pho), somethings are bad (oxtail pho), and somethings are ok (crispy spring rolls)...... AVOID THE OXTAIL HERE. it - is - crap.

    I solely come to Pho 777 for the convenience, especially since it is open late. It is a great after-gym or late-night finals restaurant to hit up other than Zippy's. Haha! The staff is a bit flighty as it takes a while for them to acknowledge customers who enter the restaurant and longer for a waiter/waitress to serve. I enjoy both the spring and summer rolls and the regular pho. The beef balls are just not my thing, so I stick with the regular. I've had a few instances where there were things in our food that were not meant to be in there... I would like to end that note there as I am getting a bit queasy just thinking about it again... However, I'm a big fan of it's location and it's hours and I definitely will be there again even if it just for one dish. However, since it is surrounded by other great restaurants, a tip to Pho 777 is to step up their cleanliness in their restaurant, their service manners, and to be cautious of how they make their food.

  • Justin H.

    Ok pho and open late. That's about it. Seriously. I've gone there probably twenty something times because of their location(McCully) and late hours. Food was ok. The re-occurring constant is their poor service. Whether it's them getting an order wrong, not bringing water, or taking forever to bring us our orders(even when the place is less than half full) - it's just a normal day there. I wish it would change because I would go back for their food. I don't know if it's because they're too busy watching the Vietnamese Music Awards (literally on ALL the time) but their service really is bad.

  • Lani G.

    Although the pho broth is tasty, customer service is quite terrible. We waited at least 10 minutes until we could place our order. Two separate parties who entered the restaurant 5 minutes after we did were able to place their order before us. They received their food before we did, too. It took some time for the waiter to bring us our water and refill the spoons and little dishes that are left on the table. Since they took too long to refill the spoons and dishes, I reached over to the closest empty table and grabbed them from there. If you're craving for pho during late hours, then this is the place to go. I believe they close at 1am. Just don't expect good customer service. I

    I was craving pho the whole day yesterday and my hubby finished work at 10pm so we decided to try this place out because it's the only place that serves pho that late. Service was good. As soon as we chose a table, someone came to bring us water. We had to wait less than 5 minutes for someone to take our order. Our food came out pretty fast. We both ordered #11 w/the beef inside and fried spring rolls. The spring rolls were good. I would recommend it. The pho was OKAY. The broth didn't really have taste and they used thick noodles. I prefer thin noodles that most restaurants use. For that reason, I don't think I would eat here again...

    Has got to be one of the strangest eating experiences I have had in a while. Keep in mind that this is a total dive located in the International Marketplace in Waikiki, so high-end this is not. My kinda place. Except . . . the staffing was simply odd. The main guy kept running back and forth in between this place somewhere else leaving his mom to work the counter AND cook. The best part is that her English was not all that good, so more than one customer had to participate in the age-old tradition of pointing and gesturing in order to order. Ever tried to sign "Halo Halo?" My point exactly. I saw what was created. Not pretty. In any case the curry chicken was pretty good, the fried rice was decent but the spring rolls that my wife ordered were gross. To top it off, the take out bowl they gave us was obviously used . . . ew. With the great number of other options in the adjacent food court, there are much better alternatives, so you might want to hit another dive.

    Food is okay. but I found a piece of steel wool in my noodles the last time I went. Service is always crappy but I think it might be a cultural thing. I would go back but don't expect a lot from this place.

    Service was quick, portions were pretty good, tons and tons of dishes to choose from. They also had some Chinese dishes and Cambodian dishes. Mostly Vietnamese though. When we walked in, the place was somewhat empty. Nice and airy, lots of tables and CLEAN! It's always good when you go into a place and your not afraid to touch the table. It was pretty easy for me to order even though the menu was huge. I can here for pho so I ordered pho and spring rolls of course. The spring rolls were good, they had alot of meat and shrimp. The peanut sauce however was pretty starchy, I had to add a ton of hot sauce and more hoison sauce to make it better. It wasn't as good as I'm used too. The pho came and it was very quick, they give you a very good portion of meat and noodles. Most places it's mostly noodles and broth. This is the only place that I've ever been to that I couldn't finish the meat and noodles in my bowl. I felt kind of bad not finishing it but I was so full and about to burst! The broth was good I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but it's good enough for me to come again. The service was very quick and attentive. My water glass was never empty and they always checked in with us to make sure things were okay. A definite plus is it's open late on weekdays until 12AM and Fri-Sat until 1AM.

    I've been here a couple times and thought there pho was pretty good. BUT not as good as my fav pho place (Hale Vietnam). Pho777 is located on the 2nd level of McCully Shopping Center. Hard to miss with the brightly lit up sign. I like the fact that they have 3 sizes.. S,M,L. The small is just the right size for me since I don't eat much noodles and like drinking broth more. Service is pretty good here and never had a problem with anything. This place is good for late night pho cravings :)

  • Peter H.

    Great convenient location right off McCully Plaza. Great authentic Vietnamese food in addition to their specialty, pho. Great mix of menu items. This is certainly one of the better Vietnamese locations in Honolulu. However it just doesn't match up to San Fran, Seattle, or other great cities offering much higher grade Asian food.

  • Lee H.

    The Pho has that cinnamon smell that some may not like. I didn't taste it in the soup, but my wife who doesn't like that cinnamon flavor tasted it in the soup. I found the large to be filling. The meat salad, I don't remember the official name, is very good if you don't mind that it is cooked pretty rare. I don't remember if it was beef or pork. I think it was beef because it seemed too rare to be pork. The egg rolls comes with noodles you can roll into the lettuce leaf. I never saw that before. I thought it was a good addition. This place is not bad, but Pho Bistro 2 is better. We went there for the salad. The better beer was $4.50 and the cheap beer was $3.75ish. One of the waiters has a quirky sense of humor that some may like while others find annoying. Parking can be a challenge at this shopping center.

    I have a friend who recently reviewed this place. She seems to hate their broth. I do not see myself picky about my pho like her. The combination pho was overall ok. Good portion, broth was fine to me. I usually load my pho with sriracha hot sauce anyway so maybe that masked their broth. I have definitely tasted better pho for a better or comparable price. Other than the pho, I have tried their chicken lemongrass. It was mediocre. The service is usually friendly but sometimes may take awhile when dining in. It's great that they're open late. If ever I find myself coming home late from work or playing soccer and am too lazy to cook, I can stroll down the street and grab a bite here. I also get 10% off here on the weekdays so that's cool.

    *Sigh* I hate writing "mean" reviews. If you see my past reviews, they all show pretty high ratings. Honestly, I don't consider myself a harda*s when it comes to food. Most things can fly. Some places are explosively awesome... but when it comes to places that give me a bad vibe--fooders, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout--I gotta yelp the truth. Disclaimer: I only tried the small size Pho with Rare Steak here. If I must come here again, I'll be sure to do an update. (I hope I don't revisit this place... sorry Pho 777.) ATMOSPHERE: 1. Blaring loud music coming from the TV. It sounded like a Vietnamese song contest or festival. Don't get me wrong; I love music, and I don't mind it at all in restaurants. But what made my eating experience a tad bit more uncomfortable was the unusually high volume. I assumed the waiter didn't want to miss the program as he was serving or something... Anyhow, this volume is not appropriate for eating. It could've been softer. 2. Clean. Bright floors. Booth I sat in was not cracked. Nice TV. Nice arrangements of figures and plants and Vietnamese decor. Didn't seem overdone. Overall, great appearance and cleanliness. FOOD: Small Pho with Rare Steak. I'm definitely a Pho person. I need it at least every couple weeks. To give you an idea of how I judge pho, here are the places I regularly go to: Pho Kitchen (in Market City) and Pho My Lan (on Maunakea St.)... I've tried 2 other places but only once or twice. It's hard to screw up pho right? a. I was given the fresh basil, lemon slice, and beansprout veggie kit as usual before my soup came. And when the soup arrived--it wasn't as hot as I normally get it. :( Blegh... b. The rare steak slices are thicker than the regular slices I get (also "rare steak", of course). The combination of steak slice thickness and soup temperature made my slices remain slightly pink. I saved the meat for later, and warmed it up at home. Yeah, I'm the type that likes the meat cooked, not TOO well done, not RAW or pink. I like to see that it cooks in the soup. c. Taste was normal. Again, it would've been better if it was hotter... but tasted okay. Didn't taste like food poisoning or chemicals. *knocks on wood* SERVICE: No smiles? No attentiveness? Unfortunately, I must vent. The main host/waiter person (manager maybe?) was the most disappointing. The service made me so unhappy, even my boyfriend noticed that I turned into an "angry girl"--his exact words. :( There were a couple people working when I came in. It was at around 5:30pm today, Friday, so it was before the dinner/late night rush hour. There were maybe 3 parties of about 2-3 people each already there--not that crowded for them, I'm sure. He took me to the booth, gave us our menus. Only I ate, and my boyfriend just kept me company. He gave us our waters and I kindly asked to order already--was that a mistake? Does that piss waiters off, if I order early?! I asked for a container for take-out. He gave me this "what?!" scrunched up face then finally gave me a small bowl after I repeated my question. Looked like he didn't know what the heck "take-out" was. I then asked if they had a tiny container to pack some black Hoisin sauce. No "here/there you go", "sure", "mhm", smiles--nothing. He just handed it over. They aren't very attentive. I waited a moment and looked near the cash register where the two workers were talking. Nothing. So I had to walk up to ask for my take-out containers. When I returned to my seat with the containers, he quickly left us the bill several seconds after I sat back down to pack my food, saying nothing, cleaning nothing, offering nothing. Just walked away quickly. He didn't even ask if I wanted anything else. I walked up to pay the bill. I didn't get a single "Thank You"--or maybe my blood was so busy finding its boiling point that my ears couldn't function when he did cough it under his breath. Just returned my card. He failed to put two and two together and kindly give me a small plastic bag to carry my two containers out with. So I had to ask for a bag too while handing him my debit card. I had a hard time parting with a single dollar as tip. --Oh wait, it was my boyfriend who was nice enough to give up his dollar. *phew* I'm sorry Pho 777 for giving you folks a bad rating, but your worker's face told it all too. He looked frustrated with me--as if the restaurant was packed and busy--it wasn't! It made my experience uncomfortable. Bad service makes the food taste worse... :(

    Not bad for the price. The waiters joke around and come to refill drinks/water quite often. Their pho is great :] My best friend and I come here often :]

    I love pho. Pho for breakfast, pho for lunch, and pho for dinner. I love pho on saturday. I love pho on tuesday. I love pho in a bowl. I love pho in a cup. I love pho in my jammies. I love pho in a tux. I love pho... BUT NOT THIS PHO!!!!! To be fair, I will elaborate. Let me break it down... Broth - not special not bad Noodles - I didnt think you could mess up a pho noodle, but somehow it happened. Meat - Maybe they used a purple cow?

    Late night PHO! That's all you have to know.. For some reason, I think of pho as a late-night snack or a post-drinking meal. Thus having a pho restaurant open late is the most perfect idea ever! This place has a real authentic Vietnamese feel to it. Seems like they're flexible on the closing hours as well, too. Large menu options and great-tasting food makes this place "pho-king" great (sorry, was that inappropriate? There actually is a place in Wahiawa called Pho King, which is actually pretty good).. Location is perfect at McCully Shopping Center. Prices are great and service is good. It's hard not to like this place if you're a fan of pho. And if you're NOT a fan of pho, then what the PHO?? Man, sorry, I'm just full of bad jokes...

    So....wandering around the McCully center after gorging ourselves (yet again) at Waiola Shave Ice on the other side of McCully, we felt the need to eat something....something portable and easily transported as we were walking back to our hotel. I have to say that this review is NOT for the pho...even though it smelled great sitting on the inside. I've been on a mini kick for some good banh mi of late. As it turned out, Pho 777 came to our rescue. They have one version...it's not the best, but it's good/decent. Their std version comes with the BBQ pork, a sliced processed meat and a meat pate at the heart of the sandwich - pretty classic. The usual accoutrements adorn this sandwich - cilantro, cukes, pickled veggies and the pepper. The bread was crunchy even after all the rains and humidity these past two days...so I have to give them props for that. Why's it a 3 star sandwich? The price. I don't know if it's b/c of the location or what...but $5.75 for a banh mi just seems pricey for me. I'm used to $3 versions in CA and TX...and with a bit more choices in meat. Another props go outs for having some veggie friendly items - we ordered a vegetarian spring roll with tofu. Not bad. I'd definitely come back here, but it's not something I'm craving for. I was torn...b/c I almost felt that I should have gone back to the Curry House downstairs instead. Elsewise the menu looks good, but I can't comment on those items. For now and based only on the banh mi and spring rolls, Pho 777 is A-OK....and it hit the spot even if it wasn't exactly what i was looking for. If we had a few more days, I'd give the pho a try, but the banh mi was decent.

    I don't think I'll be going back to Pho 777......well, maybe as an absolute last resort (i.e., if no other pho place within 25 miles is open), and at that only for take-out. The pho itself was ok, just edible though. If done well, pho broth should be good on its own. Here, you'll need to add lots of hot sauce/salt/pepper/plum sauce to even try to enjoy it. Oh and beware of the sticky condiment holders :-/ None of the workers speak English, with the exception of the grandma who brought the food out and said one or two words. So if you order anything that doesn't correspond to a number on their menu, you will probably have to resort to sign language. This really didn't bother me....until we were leaving and no one said "thank you". Hmph. There are several other pho places nearby. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

    Food: (3 stars) Lets be honest, when you walk into Pho 777 there are over 60 menu items. The photos on the pages are terrible and they all look the same with only slight variations between them. I had something with pork and springrolls which I ordered as "Number 31." It was flavorful but not something that sticks out. Ambiance: (2 stars) Ok, its dressed down like a family run joint. Vietnamese music dvd's on continuous loop on the tv. Rumor has it that if its not vietnamese singing, then its Celine Dion on continuous loop. In the corner a small child is playing "drums" with the clean spoons and forks. How sanitary. Thank God I used disposable chopsticks. Value: (2 stars) Hey it's $10 - $15 for food. I argue that it could be worse. I contend that it could also be better.

    Yeaaaah! Finally a great pho restaurant that's open past 9:30. Coming into this place reminded me of being back in the great Bay Area where good pho is something we take for granted. Walked in, sat down, and as soon as we saw the extensive menu we knew we were destined to get our fill of great Vietnamese comfort food. I ordered the Goi Ga (chicken salad) and it was piled high with lots of chicken and the fish sauce had a lot of spicy kick. More than I was used to actually. But it was still delicious. We also ordered the fried mochi and egg appetizer and that seriously hit the spot for some crunchy soft texture. Yum. Can't get much better than eating some salad only to negate it with fried pieces of mochi. I think the only strange thing was that the noodles in the pho were big and flat as opposed to the thin vermacelli noodles. Weird, but not necessarily a deal breaker. With a big and clean restaurant like this, I'll fight for those miniscule parking spaces in McCully shopping center any day to cure my cravings for a little taste of home.

  • Pamela L.

    The meat was tough and the broth settled like miso soup. (Ew..) The noodles were the proper noodle BUT it was bloated and mushy for some reason. The coffee was delicious though. And the server was nice. Don't bother though, an even better pho place is down the street.

    I love this place. Probably one of the better ones here in hawaii. I ordered the cold vermicelli w/pork and shrimp. The pork was very tasty...marinated very well. My friends ordered the pho and they said it was also very delicious! Service was great! It's probably a family-owned business...that's why it's soooo great!

  • Nicole N.

    I don't have a lot to say about this place other than the Pho here is DISGUSTING!! The broth is HORRIBLE! It's one of the worst Pho I've ever tasted in my entire life other than this other place in Reno! I'm Vietnamese and my mother is an amazing cook plus I've ate Pho when I was living in Vietnam so I know how the authentic Pho taste like. To be honest, I'm not very picky when it comes to my food...or my Pho. haha However, this is totally different. The broth and beef balls were nasty as hell...It's just out of this world. I'm never coming back to this place ever again or if I do I won't be ordering their Pho. The service was okay...it's just the Pho was gross. I have to give this place one star because Yelp made me rate it but if I had it my way I would give it no stars. If you want to eat Pho don't come here and save your money.

    Pho 777...perfect afterwork hangout spot...BYOB!!! place is cute but ghetto! Most of the staffs here are also attending KCC for their ESL( English as second language) program...I must say! they are doing extremely well : ) Overall, good pho! Happy feasting

  • Tinamarie L.

    This is my go to place for pho. I have a sensitivity to MSG and know instantly if a place uses it. Either pho 777 doesn't use MSG or they don't load it up like other places. Agree that service sucks most of the time, but it's a pho shop. I'm there to get my bowl of pho and it really doesn't bother me that the people that work there don't want to make conversation.

    168/365 Overall, a 3.5 because the food was about a 4 but the service was slow and inattentive. I came here with my friend around 8:30 and the place had a good amount of people and not crowded so that was good as we did not have to wait. We seated ourselves and it took awhile to be handed our menus and for them to take our order. I like that they have a very wide variety of vietnamese dishes and not just pho and the typical spring and/or summer roll apps. Going in I knew I wanted a nice hot bowl of pho so I got the rare beef and it was nice of them to ask if I wanted the beef inside or out. Also, since I was coming from a long day of clinicals and work, I definitely need some caffeine so I decided to try their iced coffee. For $4.25 or so it was quite a small portion. My small bowl of pho was $7.50+ tax and that was a good size for me. Upon seating I was happy to find that they had my favorite chili garlic sauce. The wait wasnt too bad but my bowl came Way before my friend's dish. He ordered the short ribs which made sense that it would have taken a while but it surely did take a LONG while so it would have been nice if they brought our dishes the same time because it is common courtesy to wait till the other person gets their dish. Overall, the broth was good and thats pretty much the main thing with pho. It had a good, flavorful beefy flavor and did not taste watered down at all. Their iced coffee was alright, I think it was just a little too bitter for my taste compared to the other once i've had. Also, the only gripe for the rounded down 3 stars was because service was not very attentive and took them forever to help us and finally get our check. Otherwise, i wouldnt mind coming here again and trying more dishes. Its also a plus that they dont close till 2am for all those party people :-P.

    Pho 777 is amazing! I moved here from CA two years ago, and have been looking for pho that taste similar to my spot in Oakland. I have found a place that actually makes the broth with all the proper spices and is not chix to lay it on! Werrd up Pho 777! Also, I was able to dance de ballroom with the owner! He put his hand out and spun me! The pho tai is bombers (broth super tasty and noodles not overcooked), BBQ Chicken amazing, and the papaya salad was fantastic. Enjoy, and have fun.

  • Tanny Y.

    It's a pretty big place. We love the flat screen TV that displayed Vietnamese artist. It was entertaining to watch. Our waitress was super nice. We ordered the beef and meatball Pho, pork chop over rice, and vermicelli. The pork chop dish was the bomb! Not so much of the meat.... but the damn rice was the best rice I had ever had. It was soft, but had texture in some part. It had scallions over it... I don't know... I would come back only for the rice!! Stupid rice!! adding on to my carbs. ha ha Our bill was under $25

    OMG why are the reviews here so low? I'm an original Vietnamese gangsta from Little Saigon and I can tell you this place is authentic and ono. I had the Bun Bo Hue which is a spicy beef noodle soup from the Central region of Vietnam. The one I had here was one of the best I've ever had. The prices here are slightly on the higher side, but still normal for Hawaii (about $8 for a large bowl). There was actually Vietnamese people here, which is always a positive sign. It's also open late, so come on down. Be adventurous and try something besides the pho for once. Bun Bo Hue. True Story: I saw a woman send back a plate of bean sprouts because it had a hair on it. The server picked it up, walked toward my table, caught my eye, walked behind me, turned around, placed it on my table, and then rushed away. Lucky for him my partner and I love hairy bean sprouts. They have choke vegetarian options and I did not taste any MSG.

    I can get down with the pho. I don't crave it often so I don't ever really consider myself an aficionado...The pho here left something to be desired this time. I got pho ga and I really wish I had gotten the steak instead. The service was really crappy here and really inattentive. That sort of bummed me out. Especially because there were only 3 other people in the restaurant :( LAME.

  • Stacey S.

    Okay, 6 things; Price: Good Service: Really good Restaurant place itself: Simple but clean.. kinda plain though.. And they arent too small. Food: Pretty good. The flavors do mix well. Time: Open pretty darn late. Parking: If you dont like driving around either upstairs or downstairs for a little bit to search or kinda tight stalls, find some street parking.. My usual order when coming to a pho place, which is the order I always come for this place is that Beef Noodle Soup, Spring Rolls and Lemonade.. Between me and a friend, our meal comes out to about $22.. We get the 6 spring roll plate, and the rolls themselves are pretty big, and then we get the large pho and I get an extra bowl and we split it.. Pretty cheap and very good. The service people are very nice and prompt.

  • June K.

    I'm not Vietnamese nor have I ever been to Vietnam so I'm not sure how authentic this pho place is, but it's good to my taste buds. I always get combo #17. Most days I go for the small, but if I'm really hungry, I'll get the medium. They give an abundant amount of fresh bean sprouts and greens. The food is fast although the service may not always be depending on whether you're there during peak hours or if there is enough help to go around. Tables are sticky sometimes, so are the seats. What's great about the place is the air conditioning is blasting when you eat hot pho, so you don't sweat up a storm.

  • Jaynie K.

    The food is good, but I'm really starting to get annoyed with the craptacular service. Minus a star. New flavorite: Green papaya salad with pork and shrimp! It's ACE! Crunchy shredded papaya dressed in a tasty zingy sauce, topped with cooked shrimp and thin slices of pork. Onion/garlic chips sprinkled on top, and mmmmm! But yeah... the service is BALLS. Distracted servers who ignore you and are too busy socializing or hiding behind the counter=lame.

    Well, I did it. I went back. We got a late night pho/vietnamese food craving and this was one of the only places that was open late (til 12am on weekdays it seems). I shouldn't have expected much...true our waiters didn't speak english but we were able to order - they were quick to take our order...about 10 seconds after we sat down the waiter was eagerly awaiting, but I personally needed to look once more through the 6 or so page menu (I was starving...i needed food porn and their menu has some nice pictures). The partner got a big bowl of pho, and I ordered the usual...the vermicelli noodles with roast pork and spring rolls (ah yes, spring rolls, the vehicle for the delicious condiments served with vietnamese food). And as we waited...waited...waited...and waited...I made some observations. Our table - no napkins, one spoon, only a few condiment dishes (which we used up...i require 2). Water came out after we ordered and asked for it. One of the waiters was in slippahs and a beater. And we still waited. Finally the pho came out, but that lovely side of sprouts/basil/lime/jalapeno was nowhere to be found. Waiting, waiting waiting, the guy finally brings it out, apologizing. Partner starts to eat, is in a sharing mood and gives me a beef ball, and I start munching on the sprouts....waiting...waiting. About 20 minutes later my vermicelli noodles come out, brought by a woman in the back, again, very apologetically. Finally food - but no napkins. I try to get someone's attention but they like to look at the floor with blinders on...then i realize they're just at the other tables and grab some. We finish our meal...and then wait wait wait and wait for our check. Even after attempts to catch a server's eye...and then I suppose customers are to walk up to pay?? I wasn't sure, but i did, since nobody acknowledged the bill fold thing sitting at the end of the table. I walk up to the bar/cash register, and stand there...2 feet away from the guy dealing with the payments...who never looks at me...for about 5 minutes. No acknowledgement...nothing. Finally, takes the billfold thing, and I'm able to put an end to the experience. To note, the customers sitting at the next booth over didn't get to even order until the partner got his food - about 30 mins after we ordered. I think they were forgotten due to their seating arrangement or something. The Food was pretty good...tho one can't go wrong with what i usually order, i'm a sauce whore anyway and am addicted to chili sauce and sriracha so...yeah. Oh well...late night craving fixed. Maybe it will be another year or so before, and if, I ever venture back.

    Horrible x100! The quality of service is what makes the meal appetizing. The service was definitely the worst. The waiter would not fill all of our cups with water, he gave us attitude, the place was not clean, and he starts cleaning our table while we're still eating. We didn't feel rushed at all (sarcasm)... Never coming back

    (1)

  • Jeanie Y.

    My favourite pho, for sure! I love that the flavour isn't saturated in cilantro, to me that is the worst! I come here fairly often, and the taste and quality is consistent. The service is pretty fast and efficient, but if you're looking for warm friendly service, you won't find it here. That doesn't bother me at all, as long as things are prompt. Then I can get my fatassery on in peace!

    i looooooooovvvvvveeeeee PHO! did i mention i love pho?! one of the besties and i came to grab dinner one night. we got sat quickly, but waited kind of long to order. our server seemed really nice so the wait wasnt too bad. i got the medium #16, she got a small beef ball (i forget what number), and we shared an order of summer rolls. oh, and i told her how i had gotten hooked on thai iced tea, so we got a couple of those too. my take on the food: the summer rolls were pretty good, and the veggies inside were nice and crunchy. their peanut sauce was ok. but i enjoyed their pho! mine came with beef brisket, tripe, and tendon. i have to say that i liked that their tendon came out in huge chunks as opposed to wimpy looking pieces i have gotten from other pho places. i tend to adulterate my broth with hoisin sauce (for sweetness) and chili oil (for heat) and a squeeze of lemon (for acidity). i loaded it with a ton of beansprouts, thai basil and saw leaf herb (my fave pho greenery). i got full halfway through my pho and it was medium! wth? i picked out all the meaty goodness and slurped up as much soup and noodles as i could before feeling my jeans slightly beginning to cut off the circulation to my midsection. fail. the thai iced tea tasted good too. i got my friend hooked on them now. their prices are very reasonable. for our meal and teas, it came out to around $28. plus, they are the ONLY pho place open late at night, which is perfect to soothe my pho cravings... which i crave every day. i literally could eat pho every day. is that bad? have i mentioned how much i love pho?

    Whenever we are hungry for Vietnamese food, we think of Pho 777 right away. The food here is good and staff are friendly, and sometimes funny! :) Their Pho is phenomenal! I make sure I taste the 'untouched' soup (because it's already soooo good!) before i put all the ingredients to make it an even better Pho! My bf always orders pork with shredded pork (lol) in vermicelli, but substitute it with white rice because it's more awesome that way. It even comes with a side of crispy spring rolls! Amazing! I am also a fan of their Thai Tea - which is always refreshing. I've been coming here for few years now and I am coming back for more!

    My older brother suggested we have Vietnamese in the McCully Shopping Center on Kapiolani Blvd for lunch - spring rolls and pho were tasty, but Pho Bistro 2 still mo' bettah, I think! Restaurant was very clean and service was prompt, and there was lots of parking (check out the underground garage) despite the noon lunch hour. Lots of places to eat in MSC, so maybe next time we'll try Cantonese, Thai, or the hot pot restaurant.

  • Tasha T.

    I absolutely love Pho, and this place has a good tasting broth. The meat is appealing & delicious (I always order it outside of the soup). The overall experience hits the spot! Location at McCully is also great. Clean restaurant with good service. However... OMG what happened to the SUMMER ROLLS?! EEK! I am very discontent with them. The shrimp tasted funny and the peanut sauce was pretty horrible because of its strong vinegar flavor (which was not what I was expecting from PEANUT sauce). Boo :( Perhaps order spring rolls instead.

    Pho 777 is open late, till 2am, which is great! since some of us work late in the restaurant/tourist industry. This place is located close to my house, so after a long night of work when I am starving and can't cook I head out here. On several occasions I have had the best pho of my life ,so I think, at literally 1am in the morning. Maybe, my taste or my thoughts aren't too critical that early, I couldn't tell ya. Some people don't like their pho but I do. Pho to me is like eating kimchee and rice w/nori wraps, loco moco, or sushi- my ultimate comfort meal. When I am starving Pho is very fulfilling, it's heart warming, it's like a soul food. A remedy for my starvation. When I am sad beef pho soothes my soul. The broth must have some kind of magic potion ! Back to PHO 777: Slow service at times, but food is always great. Pho comes with the garnishes: bean sprout, the basil, limes, jalapenos, and the grassy looking leaves ( can someone help me with the names? ). Sometimes, I order their pork chop, which is ok. But mostly, I stick with my Mixed beef PHO -Large. Never had anything to complain about. I hope I never do. I have also tried the vegetarian pho just for the heck of it. I will stick to my beef pho. This isn't the best place if you want great service but their pho is what stands out -late at night! I PHO 777 is McCully shopping center's jewel.

    Went there with my friend on a Friday for lunch. I wanted to order the spicy soup noodle w/ beef... I told her the number, she looked like she got the menu memorized in the back of her mind. But I was wrong. Dead wrong. First she gave me the Spring Roll Vermicelli... wrong. After I told her spicy soup noodle, not the one with SEAFOOD... guess what. She brought the one with the SEAFOOD. Wrong again. Then the dude came out asking me what I wanted and I told him. He got it. Scolded the lady and went back in. Third time, they got it right... by then it took almost 45 minutes. My friend was done eating already. Umm, FAIL?! Oh yea, the noodle was not bad.

  • Chris D.

    3 stars? I read some of the reviews, I have never had a bad experience with this place. For the most part, their staff is good. They seem forgetful, but their food is worth it. Their pho is great (multiple sizes) and their vermicelli is good too. The next time I go I will get one of their sammiches. Again, like most of the businesses in mccully shopping center, the parking sucks. If you are patient, the food is worth it. It is inexpensive and tasty.

  • Chihiro N.

    Yes its called Pho 777, but I have never actually ordered their pho. I come here for their wonton & egg noodles. Their chicken broth is very flavorful, I could just sip their soup all day. I am a huge fan of egg noodles, and the ones here are very thin, but they give good portions to fill you up. It also comes with fish balls, squid, shrimp and char siu, but all I really need is just the soup & egg noodles. :)

  • Kim A.

    I have to admit.... the service is junk. There's a younger gentleman that works there (guessing he's family) who seem like he's forced against his will to work there and hates his job. I made a phone order for take-out and as soon as I finished ordering, he doesn't repeat it or confirms or lets me know how long it'll take, he just says, "okay bye".....so that left me wondering whether or not he placed my order??? When I got there, my order wasn't ready which was understandable since I got there early thinking he didn't put my order in. Thankfully, he did. My food came out shortly after and I wanted to use my iDcard (it had a picture of Menchies frozen yogurt in the front) for 10% off - great deal btw! So the guy takes my card, flips it over, flips it over again and tells me, "sorry, we don't accept this." i asked him if the restaurant accepts it, I mean.... there's a sticker on their door that says "we accept iDcards here" he goes on and tells me that it doesn't say McCully Shopping Center on it and that I can use it at Menchies only.... -_-' seriously? After some back and forth of trying to convince him that the picture is just a picture, he took my card to the back where an older lady came out and gave me the 10% off scolding him in Vietnamese and some English words saying that she worries about him. As I'm watching him, waiting for an apology for doubting my integrity, he bags my food looking like he did nothing wrong, no apologies. I can understand if the language barrier was between me and an older person, but this guy was young and should know better! I don't expect the best red carpet treatment at a foreign restaurant, just as long as they share my mutual respect for food for me to enjoy when I take it home, I'm happy. If my food sucked AND the customer service sucked, then my review would show no mercy. **I like the pho combination and the house special banh mi sandwich. You can only do a large order for taking out pho (which is totally fine with me) and they give A LOT of soup!!! I'd rather do take-out than eating in, just so I can eat comfortably in the comfort of my own home without waiting for someone to constantly fill up my cup of water (cuz I drink like a camel). ** I always like to order take-out and I enjoy it very much despite the customer service. I got my food, my 10% off, I'm happy. p.s. get an iDcard, you'd feel a little better ordering from this place after your discount :)

  • Yon S.

    Ordered take out. Got the vegetarian spring rolls, filling was mushy, muddy. Not sure what was in there. Won Ton egg noodle, rice noodle soup. Nowhere as good as the one at Super Pho. Lemon Grass chicken. Again, not as good. Green papaya shrimp pork salad. Oily. Never had this kind of salad that was oily. Yuck. 3 bean dessert drink. meh. Service was slow, and he put the 3 bean ice mix drink on top of the pho soup inside the bag. Not a good idea. I had to tell him to separate it. First time I ever dumped half of all dishes. Didn't want to bother wasting refrigerator space for weeks, as I contemplate whether to eat the leftovers or not... $42 down the drain.

    They suck! First off the waiter we had was a little prick! He tossed a plate in my face, was rude, and kept giving me and my boyfriend dirty looks. The food is TERRIBLE. Broth is boiling hot to the point where it burned my gums off and the spring rolls tasted like hard dog food. The spring rolls were rock hard and smelled horrible. I am NEVER going there again. I only went there because PHO BISTRO 2 was closed. I would NOT recommend this place to ANYONE!

  • Beth S.

    Went at about 5pm after I got off work with my boyfriend, we were the only ones there... slightly concerning. We both ordered pho, I got mine with rare steak and beef balls. First off the plate of fresh spices and veggis was DISGUSTING. The basil (both kinds ) were terribly spotty and shriveled up, even looked like they might be a little dirty and they were very stingy with the portions they put on the plate. Our pho came out quickly, so I guess that might be a plus. Basically all I can describe the soup as was pho version of instant ramen. The broth tasted like they used bullion cubes, and the disproportional large mound of noodles they used were very low quality and had an odd consistency. The steak was horribly tough and chewy and I kept getting lots of pieces of inedible cartilage in my beef balls that I had to spit out. It is food, thats about it. boo.

    (2)

  • Alex N.

    Food here is pretty decent for a pho place so that's a plus. Customer service on the other hand is horrible. The manager or who I think is the manager is rude and very stingy. He denied us extra peanut sauce for our Summer Rolls when he ran out and said that he gave us enough. Water never gets refilled on time and orders take forever even when not busy.

    If you are in Honolulu, near Ala Moana and you're looking for decent Vietnamese food, this is your place. I come here at least two to three times a month. Sometimes I would get the Bun Jah Yo, which is a bowl of spring rolls, pork, veggies, and vermicelli noodles. This dish is very refreshing with a little bit of cold and fried ingredients combined. The other menu item I normally order is the fried fish, number sixty. I love how they deep fry the fish with diced garlic and ginger and fresh onions on top to go with a bowl of rice. I literally finish the entire fish by myself down to the bones. When you leave the restaurant, you are not blotted or stuffed. You feel just right and lighter than normal American restaurants. The flavor is unique, but I guarantee you'll take your hot asian girlfriend here on a date. Gam Ho!! =P

    Ate here with the broseph on a lazy sunday afternoon. Ordered the pho tai? Large, steak on the side and some summer rolls. He had the same, with spring rolls. The summer rolls were larger, not too tasty, not too fresh. The summer rolls were crunchy but small. Tasted like they had bought them from costco and tossed em in the micro.. Pho was terrible. The noodles were overcooked, fat, and soft. They hardly gave any steak either.. Terrible portion sizes. Family atmosphere, clean, but the service was slow. Had to ask for water refils several times and they weren't busy at all.. 30bucks for that? No bueno. No mas. Go eat regal diner downstairs instead...

    Yuck! The only good thing about this place was the bread that the banh mi was made on and that was toasted to much so it was hard to eat. Otherwise everything else was pretty gross. The meat was the worst part about it. On our banh mi and summer rolls they used this bologna looking pork that came out of a tube and tasted worse than bologna. And the rice noodle that they used were thick like spaghetti which made for an icky texture as you ate them. I haven't tried the other Vietnamese places in the area but I sould have to say try them before trying this one.

    I go here weekly. That being said its not bad... but I will admit it aint fuhssnking great. I used to come here all the time because one of the servers here loves to hit on girls and its enjoyable to watch. But nonetheless food is eh, water service is ok better then some places... its just its easy to flag down the servers. Its open late which is probably the best thing... always a great place to stop by after a closing shift! The pho is good for the price it cost I usually only spend about 7-9 bucks here so a yummy cheap meal! I love mccully shopping center too so maybe if u go with friends you can lure them into the purikura booths. Ya the drinks r kinda expensive I usually dont order them here... I rather spend my money downstairs at coffee or tea! But ya this place is pretty g not amazing but still good. Late night pho rulez

    Pho warms my heart and my belly! I love eating pho! My friends and I would agree that some of the greatest pho joints are usually hole-in-the-wall places or in a tiny nook in a busy area somewhere. For me, pho places are usually 'hit or miss'. Unfortunately, this place was a 'miss'. I came here with my sister and my niece. Sis was going to take me to another pho place but it was closed so we came here just to try it. The decor was the usual Asian restaurant stuff. There were plenty of booths and tables available. It was a decent-sized restaurant. It was pretty empty when we got there around 10 something in the morn but got busier later. They have utensils, napkins, and condiments available on the table. The first thing I noticed were these tabletop items. The napkin dispenser and the sauce bottles/jars were quite dirty but I didn't think too much of it then. As my niece began to "set" the table, handing out the sauce dishes, spoons, and chopsticks. I noticed the dishes and the spoons had leftover residue on them and were sticky. This was not the biz :( We had to wipe them down with napkins before use. Our food was brought to us by a silent man who didn't say anything. We had to ask twice for an extra bowl for my niece. I ordered the pho with rare steak and beef balls. I'm big on soup/broth and the broth was rather plain. Usually there are green onions, onions, cilantro, etc. I just got straight broth with a few specks of green onions. The noodles were nothing special. The beef balls were "fatty" and mushy. I also love to add spoonfuls of the spicy, orange-y "chili oil" sauce but their sauce wasn't spicy at all. I do have a few good things to say though. The spring rolls were decent, not horrible. They were crisp, with the right amount of filling. I liked that the menu offered a good variety and included many pairings/combinations for pho. Some other places I've been to usually do not offer the rare steak and beef ball combination so I have to order the beef balls separately and pay extra. Overall, a disappointment. A good bowl of pho usually hits the spot...this, unfortunately, did not.

    My friend and I just finished an intense 24Lift class where we both got owned by the pregnant instructor. We were famished. Wanting to be better to our bodies, we somehow chose pho. mmMm...MSG does the body good ;) *sarcasm* Looks are definitely deceiving here. McCully Shopping Center has some small restaurants but this one is BIG. Pho 777 is also more than just pho, it's a full on Vietnamese restaurant. Friend and I ordered the small spring rolls and two bowls of the beef combination pho. Spring roll sauce was weak. Had to soak my spring roll in the sauce to get any flavor. Our pho was okay. I couldn't finish my small bowl since I got full, probably from getting tired of eating it. I ordered a lemonade as well and it was crunchy on top from the sugar. Hey, I just worked out like mad and do not wanna do more work for a drink by crunching away on the sugar! I may come back if I'm in the area but all my friends know I'm an advocate for Pho Mai.

    One woman serving the place. My bun was ok, nothing to brag about. Oh and she forgot my iced coffee but still charged me for it so i just took it to go. If it wasn't for the poor service I would probably give it 3 stars. If you are in a rush [like I was], do choose somewhere else.

    I am no where close to being Vietnamese.. but Im from a city in California where it is predominately of Vietnamese and Mexican ethnicities. I grew up eating pho and burritos (i know, weird combination).. but i know good quality pho. This place does it! I could say it is very comparable to the pho i have tasted in San Jose. This place is clean and the service is pretty good. This is the only place I go for Pho in town.

  • Tori M.

    Two stars for this place. It's fulfilled our late night craving, but the service is always so slow! Be prepared for a wait. We didn't mind 'cuz we just wanted to talk story but it's not a good place to grab lunch if you're in a hurry to get back to the office. Obviously the pho is good, but try the mochi and egg! It's the only place on the island that I can find this particular dish. Minus two stars for *supah* slow service.

    Never again. I came here two nights ago with some friends. Service was absolutely horrible. They made us change tables twice because larger groups of people came in. In the end we were crammed in one of those booths. It took 20 minutes for our first order to come. After waiting another 20 min, my friend asked the server if his food was coming out yet. All the server said was "that's the manager. go talk to him." Turns out they missed his order. No apology either. We just finished up and left, no tip. Never again.

  • Anna A.

    My go to Pho place. This pho is pretty good. One of the better ones I've had in town. Not my favorite on the island though. This is definitely the best fried springs rolls though. If you are a Pho eater then you know what you like and too me, its the same menu for every place. I dont recall this place having sandwiches though. The place is huge and seating isnt usually a problem. Parking can suck but I live down the road so walking is a better choice. Service is alright, my water hardly seems to get refilled so I have to ask but thats if they even come around. Open late so thats a great late night choice.

    My friend and I usually go to Bac Nam but lately, we've been craving pho during ungodly hours in the morning. We discovered this place after a night out on the town and were pleased that they were open so late. The service is very slow but the pho is very similar to Bac Nam, especially the broth. I liked that they also serve plain pho just noodles and broth for $4.99 for when you don't feel like eating too much or don't have enough $ left over from your night out. One problem I had was that they never remembered the requests I put in my order. I order a small tofu pho without onions and less noodles = more broth. But they still always give me the standard pho I order with a heaping serving of noodles! But since beggars can't be choosy -when of comes to good food in the middle of the night, I don't mind too much.

    Price - its priced well and you get what you pay for which is great Taste - the broth is pretty good and the rainbow drink is made okay, I''ve always had it alittle sweeter then what they serve and the green jelly inside wasnt cut enough so it was like, bundles of them instead of strings Service - this is where they lost the star, it was a bit slow but wasnt horrible Ambiance- Clean and typical, weird thing is I was listening to "Freak Em Dress" by Beyounce while eatting my dinner...i dunno, odd to me, heh Overall- I'd come here again, its open late, its priced well and nice hot soup! YUM!

    We just recently moved to Hawaii from CA and we've been on the search for a great pho restaurant. We went to Pho Minh Tu when we first came to visit back in June and it was horrible and felt discouraged to try other pho places. I'm not a fan of mint leaves in my pho, but Pho Minh Tu's broth just tasted like mint water with artificial beef flavoring. So 3 bad pho restaurants later we found PHO 777. When you first walk in I assumed you just sit anywhere like all the Pho placees in CA you just walk to a table and they bring you menus. i did just that and the staff complied and were courteous to bring our waters with our menus. I wasn't keen on trying another bad Pho so I opted for the Vermicelli bowl w/BBQ pork and spring rolls (#31). The wait was only 10 minutes for my order and the serving was huge. So for 9.75, I couldn't complain. It was the first time I couldn't finish a bowl of vermicelli noodles and it was delicious. My fiance ordered the beef pho, and from the looks of it, it seemed pretty good. I seconded this restaurant last night and tried the pho, and the broth was just right. NO MINT LEAVES AT ALL! The veggies were placed on a seperate plate like they should be so you can add whatever you want. The staff is pretty decent during the day, the night staff are a little goofy, but you can't beat their fast service. The restaurant is clean and you don't get that feeling of dirty food due to cheap owners. It's a little reminiscent of home. I give it 4 stars because I haven't tried other dishes, but i'll be back often. I just couldn't believe it was a drive around the corner from our condo.

    I can't honestly say I'm a Pho (pronounced "fuh?" yeah, like a question. No other way. Google it) connoisseur. I know what kind of taste I like and that's that. On that note Pho 777 (what a lucky name) is not bad. I mean for me as long as the soup is beefy, plenty noodles, get hoisin sauce, plenty of basil and bean sprouts, it's all good. Lo and behold all that was delivered at Pho 777. It's clean and pleasant inside and larger than it looks from the outside. Unfortunately located in the always crowded McCully Shopping Center. I'd try park underneath in the parking garage if you can't find one parking space on top in one go around. You get there through the ONE WAY street on the Taco Bell side of the mall.

    Honestly, the ONLY Pho Vietnamese Restaurant that's open late til 1am. I couldn't find any other place that was open beyond 10pm. We got there around midnight on Thursday and restaurant was packed! Hubbs and I both ordered steaming hot bowls of combination beef pho and were pleased to see plenty of sauce condiments, basil, bean sprouts, etc. The soup base was decent but not very flavorful. It was okay; nothing to write home about. The service was prompt and friendly despite being busy. I had a 10% off online coupon and they were fine with that. A big bonus is that the place is clean and the decor is nice. The flashy Vietnamese music videos they were showing on their TV screens made for interesting mealtime commentary.

  • Miles E.

    Like the parking, the atmosphere, and prices. The food is a hit or miss. I love the house special sandwich and the spring rolls. The papaya salad was overdressed for the party, lol, just dripping with dressing is not my liking. According to my mom, the pho broth reminds her of 'salty water'. Plus, I think the noodles were over cooked, kept crumbling on her. All in all, maybe it was an off day but Pho 777 doesn't have me hooked.

  • Devin K.

    Came with some friends, atmosphere always nice as usual.. Ordered pho tai #11 and the 4 pc spring rolls and everything was delicious. I always come here when I crave pho and I bring all of my friends when I do. Always and is always filled with beautiful women. While you wait for your food you can entertain yourself by viewing one of the three big LCD TVs or connect your laptop/phone to their free wi-fi. This is one of my favorite pho places hands down.

    This place is definitely growing on me. I ordered takeout from Houng Lan Monday morning and later had takeout from Pho 777 the same evening. Even though I'm a die hard Houng Lan fan, I must say the take out from Pho 777 is better. I think it's the bolder soup stock that makes it hold up better as take-out. There's also the convenience factor. This place opens late so I can get my Pho fix last in the evening. Great place for late nate Pho or take-out. For dine in earlier in the day, I'm still partial to Houng Lan. It just feels more inviting there.

    This will probably be our backup pho place when our first 2 favorites are full. I got the tofu and vegetable pho. The soup was clear, but tasty. The noodles were different compared to other pho places. They were a little chewy. Different, but I liked it. The hubby ordered a combination and he didn't have any complaints. We also ordered a side of spring rolls. Crispy, tightly packed with tons of filling, and still piping hot even after we started eating them halfway into our pho (They brought the spring rolls out first). Props to the waitress. She was the ONLY one taking orders and there were at least 8 tables, one with more than 10 people. There were 3 or 4 people dropping off food from the kitchen, but they just left it on a nearby table for her to bring to everyone. She refilled the waters, she bussed the tables. This was one super woman waitress, always had a smile on her face. I would've smacked the guy working the counter.

    so my previous post was saying that it was good. but i take it back. as a regular customer there, a friend and i was eating pho and talking stories....UNTIL i found a nasty bug floating in my pho. got grossed out and realized that if it was floating in my broth, everyone is eating that broth. what's even worse was that the waiter says "ohh...i'm sorry about that." and we still didn't get our meal comped. so effin' gross.....never again.. they lost my business

    Ox tail Pho. What the Pho! something different. I like the bold flavor of their soup. The soup is strong and stays tasty til the end. The ox tail is not quite fall off the bone. The meat still sticks to the bone so it take a bit of slurping to get it off. Go eat! Big G

    I've had Vietnamese food all over - New York, Atlanta, San Francisco, etc. (to include homemade). I have no idea how anyone is saying Pho 777 is using spaghetti noodles for their pho or that the broth is tasteless or whatever. The food is delicious. I've had most things on the menu and can easily say that this is good Vietnamese food. They even have bánh xèo, a dish that you can't get at about 99% of Vietnamese restaurants on the island. In my experience, the staff have always been very kind and attentive. The food comes out quickly, just as it would in any good Vietnamese place, and I've never really have any issues as far as refilling beverages goes. Atmosphere was fine - typical of pretty much any Vietnamese place on the mainland. Parking would be my only real complaint. At certain times of the day, even with the spaces underneath the building, it can be very hard to find a spot. Extra Bonus: It's open late.

    The good thing about this place is if you want pho in the day the parking is awesome. That's why my weekly pho with the bff's moved here from Pho One. I order my usual Pho Tai (rare steak) and my friends' tried something called Bum Bo, spicy seafood soup. Both were good the first time, the second time we went the broth was not as flavorful. Service: not the best, but whenever we eat pho we don't expect much. They do have sate sauce, shrimp paste and other great condiments that you can add to your soup so that is a huge plus.

    Okay, 2 and a half stars for McCully Shopping Center's newest offering. Frankly, Viet Cafe (which is now closed and replaced with that Banana Leaf Pasta place) was better, but hopefully Pho 777 will get better in time. They are taking 20% off your bill until November 30, 2008 in honor of their Grand Opening. Food: Hit and miss. The crispy spring rolls were very good. Something inside tasted super yummy and made me feel like I needed "just one more bite." I think they have roasted peanuts wrapped up with the vermicelli noodles, meat, veggies, etc. to make it a stand out dish. The dipping sauce was also good (not too fishy). I ordered the Pho (#11, large) with slices of rare steak and beef brisket ($8.25). They asked if I wanted my rare steak on the side or inside my soup (which was cool, because it can get overly cooked when placed in the soup too early). The immediate smell was cinnamon, then some herbacious notes. It was tasty, but no real depth/complexity of flavor. Like there was no "mother" broth that this came from. It tasted good when I just drank the broth, but when I ate it with the noodles or beef, it became bland. I saw a guy add a ton of salt into it, but I didn't want to do that...added sirracha and sambal instead. The short ribs were unavailable (too early?), so my mom ordered #55: Steamed rice with garlic pork and shrimp ($10.50). Tasty enough and the 3 or 4 shrimp were good, but the pork was really dry and overcooked. You sure get a whole lot of rice, though (see pic). Service: Our waitress was really nice, but inexperienced. She did not know the menu well, but really sweet. Water did not come around often, and it tasted a bit weird so I added fresh mint and a lime wedge to my glass and it was no problem. All cutlery, napkins and condiments are stacked on each table so you can help yourself. Ambiance: Oddly elegant and casual combo. I think the restaurant looked more elegant than the people inside it. Table cloths, roomy booths, etc. Everyone inside in shorts or jeans (including restaurant staff). Overall: Too expensive (tho' I'm sure it's because rent is high) to keep going unless the food quality goes up a notch or two. There are definitely places with the same or better food that charge a few bucks less per dish. But the people there seem so nice I hope the place becomes a success.

    I didn't have my phone with me when I went this weekend as I ventured to try Vietnamese food for the first time. I will leave this review short and sweet. I LOVE this restaurant and I found a new food obsession! Pho is a healthier and lighter than saimen and ramen and I love all the vegetables. Definitely reccommend this place!

  • Nick Y.

    After a long evening of last minute Christmas shopping at Ala Moana, my girlfriend and I pulled into McCully Shopping Center still trying to decide exactly where to eat. I had been craving pho, and on the fourth lap around the tightest parking lot on the Island, while lamenting the closure of Viet Cafe, I looked up and saw Pho 777. Jackpot! The well done flank in my #14 was very tender and surprisingly moist, but I felt the tendon to tripe ratio could have been higher. My girlfriend loved her veggie-tofu pho, and we both agreed that the broth was rich and flavorful. Yes, the saltiness is lessened when you add the sprouts, basil, and ngo gai, but that's what all the sriracha, nuoc mam, and hoisin is for. The service was barely existent, and the overall experience wasn't life changing like, say, winning the Megabucks, but hitting the jackpot on the nickel slots is still pretty cool.

  • Anna A.

    one of my favorite places to go for pho (my other favorites are hale vietnam and pho saigon). i love the fact that they serve pho in different sizes - small, medium, large. i usually order medium. but what i love most is their broth. it's absolutely something you have to go back for over and over again! :) the waiters are ok (not extremely friendly neither are they mean). they work fast and they work well. the pho is served hot (which is the way i like it) and just a few minutes after ordering it (even if they the entire restaurant is filled). billing out seems to be a problem. so i usually just go to the counter to pay instead of wait for the waiter to bring me my bill.

    Let me start off by saying that I'm originally from Southern California. I've eaten at many pho restaurants, as there are many, especially in Orange County. Some are even open 24 hrs. But I have to say, this is one of the best places I've eaten pho at. Right from entering the restaurant at 10pm, my husband and I were greeted by a friendly waiter. There were 4-5 small groups there at the time, and it seemed he was the only one on the floor. But, he was quick to give us our menu and water. I was surprised to find almost 100 menu items, but ultimately we ordered 2 large bowls of pho. I ordered the special combination, which included beef brisket, tendon, tripe, and rare steak on the side. The husband ordered the mixed seafood (I'm not sure what was in it... he didn't share...) After ordering, I went to the restroom (which was very clean, btw.) When I got back to our table, our food had already arrived! I was ready to dig in, when a lady from the kitchen started setting up our table, giving us napkins, soup spoons, and sauce plates. Now THAT'S service. NEVER have I eaten a bowl of pho, especially a large bowl, all in one sitting. (Well, at least for the noodles, meat,and vegetables.) My husband consumed EVERYTHING, including the soup. I was amazed. 2 bowls of pho set as back about $20, while most places in SoCal charge about $6 a bowl. Then again, this IS Hawaii :)

  • Tessa t.

    i'm not a pho junkie...but i have had a few through the years... this one stands out the most... why? this is the only place that is super generous with their tripe and tendon... normally, the places i go to are pretty skimpy and that makes me sad.... here, i can barely finish it all :D p.s. their beef stew and shrimp/pork summer rolls are yum yum yum! service is....o-kay a tad slow, they do hit you up with water though! i also suggest ordering by the number that they place by each item :)

  • Wing L.

    This place is ok. The only thing that is REALLY good there is convenience. There isnt much Pho/Vietnamese restaurants open late at night. I'm not going to freaking rate parking along with this restaurant because its stupid. You chose to go there and parking has nothing to do with business if its in a SHOPPING CENTER. Cause everyone goes to shopping centers and its going to be a given that its going to be a bit busy sometimes. Anyways. Their pho is okay. Their BBQ pork is pretty good. Not too bland. I usually get the Vegetable Pho and add lots of lime/lemons. Like 4 -5 pieces depending on their cut size. However their utensils are very dirty. The soup spoons are okay. Because everyone uses it and they wash it constantly. Something like those little small dipping dishes, those can be really filthy. Every time I go there, I grab some napkins and put some water on them and wipe the dish for a good 5 minutes and then use another clean napkin to wipe another few minutes to take the gunk away. I usually use it for soyu and jalapeno peppers. They dont even have soyu sometimes. As for service....sometimes its bad.... BUT I like the young looking kid because he really does try his best unlike other employees that works there. I dont know his name but he smiles like a server should and communicates with people even if he has limits with English. And we (me and friends) go there from time to time because we end work really late and theres no food in the fridge etc. When you become a regular there that young boy remembers you. Most def. "I'll get the Vegetable Pho with a side of meat." And he would say, "Aha Always. You always get that." I like this kid. And I know they will be opening up in Hawaii Kai soon. Hope this kid would be there when it opens. So convenience and this kid is what had me continue to visit Pho777.

    I typically get the beef Phö. My hubby love the beef and innards Phö. The broth is ok I suppose standard. Nothing amazing. I have had better broth where the consistency is almost velvety and much hartier in flavor. The veggies are always fresh and adundant herbs are vibrant and flavorful. The location is great at McCully shopping center. BUT as u may all know parking is rough no matter what time of day. The wait staff is definately not attentive I am assuming that is due to the fact that people are typically too busy slurping down noodles and hot broth to want/need much if anything at all. 3 stars from me. It good but could be better IMO. 3 stars may be a stretch be forewarned especially if u know ur Phö.

  • Daniel R.

    This place is okay, it's just great since they're open later than usual pho places. McCully Shopping Center is known to have really sucky parking hands down, don't think the location is very convenient. They have a good selection of pho to choose from, as well as three different sizes. Honestly, I think the medium is the same as the small, just with more broth. The broth is okay, I've tasted other pho broths that taste more fresh and "clean" I guess I would say, a fresher less murkier version. Their spring rolls and summer rolls are pretty decent too. I got the pork chops one time and that was really good. I wouldn't make this my hands-down place to go for pho, but it's late, you're in town, this is always an option.

    I've come here before and its been worse. This time around was really good, actually! I thought open were open until 2am cuz I read on yelp, but I think friday and Saturday they're only open til 1am. I got there at like 12:30 something and stayed til 1:30ish and they were pretty nice about it. I didn't realize, but my friend and I were the last ones there! Oops. Haha. Anyway, the pho I had had a lot of meat, I wasn't able to finish it haha. The meat was a little tough too. But it's okay, I really like the broth. Still not my favorite pho place but I gave it four stars cuz it's open late. That's about it hahaha.

  • Yena W.

    The first time I came here and looked at the menu I kinda wanted to cry. Pho, bun, BBQ pork bahn mi, omelette, crispy noodles with seafood, garlic beef, whole fish, ca phe sua da. It was all my faves offered one after the other on one menu, and the flavors felt correct in my mouth. Plus they open late (last orders taken at 11pm). Plus the guys who work there are funny. And the whole restaurant is clean, well lit, and there's a big flat screen that's always playing Vietnamese music shows. The only way they can improve is if they can improve their parking situation, but that's McCully Shopping Center's issue, not Pho 777's. And it's only another reason to go late night.

    (4)

  • Stacey K.

    I come to Pho 777 only because they have a very tasty tofu/veggie pho (with veg broth). And the tofu summer rolls are also tasty. The atmosphere is a little blah and the service is slow, so I usually get take-out. HOWEVER, the McCully plaza is sorta a nightmare - being on a very busy corner block...

  • amber r.

    this was probably the worst pho I've ever had in Hawaii and the rest of the world too for that matter. months later, and after the scars from the first time healed, I decided to be fair, Id give it a second chance before I wrote it off forever. I was drunk and it was still terrible!!! they use spaghetti noodles for their pho. so not the business!! on an unrelated side note, I enjoyed the spring rolls. but in all seriousness, it should be called pho 666 because it was pure evil.

  • Miki L.

    Located on the second floor of McCully Shopping Center, the service is fast and attentive. You have three choices of sizes of pho bowls. I enjoyed a hot bowl of rare beef with beef balls. Good broth, made better with a dollop of red chili paste. I ended my meal with a three-color bean drink made with yellow, red and pinto (?) beans, slivers of green jelly, sweet coconut milk and crushed ice. My server said she sells 20-30 of these a day. All this for a little over $12. (I'm used to Chinatown prices, and this is a few bucks more than what you might find on Maunakea Street.)

    What better way to end a night of movie going; watching a movie about a sinister-devil-evil-foster child who kills all she touches, than heading over an eating up some hot Vietnamese soup packed with foliage, noodles and meats? After watching Case39, fellow friends, Artie T., Justin R. and Mikhail C. all headed over for the horror flick: Parking at McCully Center. The pho I ordered was really good; everyone at the table ordered something different. I wouldn't be able to tell you what I had besides the number, number 13. But aren't all Vietnamese places similar, 17,000 menu items easily identified but the number that proceeds it? My pho had meat, Justin R.'s had meat in ball form, Mikhail C. had a stir fry and Artie T. had mystery soup. Pho is pretty similar no matter where you go, Pho 777's broth was tasty and just the right saltiness. You can never have too much meat, and Pho 777 kinda skimps a little bit. The best part of the was most certainly the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk or as they put it on the menu, "hot coffee". This stuff is the greatest combination to involve coffee since Splenda. Overall the damage wasn't too bad, for four hungry guys being fed - Vietnam style. One large pho, two smalls, a stir fry and a "hot coffee" and Thai Ice Tea ended up being $50 including tip. Definitely down for a go around, and would hit up Pho 777 in the future. Nothing bad to report, except McCully Parking. At least it was free parking.

    I like their pho & spring rolls. I'm pretty picky with my food, but I guess it's hard to mess up pho. Since pho pretty much tastes the same for me wherever I go as long as I use hot sauce, the spring rolls are the differentiator for me. I would rate them higher but I saw a baby roach at the bottom of my empty bowl. :-( Gross.... but it's weird how all the "good" pho places I've been to, I've found bugs in my food. Lol, maybe the bugs provide the extra flavor? haha, jk.

    As you will know (or find out), parking may be a b....... This decent sized place seems to be always half filled when I come here. It is decently sanitary & cozy to dine in here. Service here can be quirky but homely. Food tastes good in their own way. Good portions for the price. Filling. Perfect rainy day spot if you have good luck with parking.

    Slow service but delicious pho. I had rare and well done beef and it was yummy. The veggie spring rolls which we started the meal with were also pretty good. Service was good even late at night.

  • Stacey C.

    I didn't try the Pho here, so I am basing this on what I tried. The service was extremely slow, and let me tell you, we were the only people in the restaurant. The server didn't seem to know the menu. I asked for some suggestions and he was no help at all. He literally told me I had to try everything. No joke. The food we had was basically horrible!! Me and my friends were extremely disappointed. It tasted like it had been microwaved! One thing that we had was very chewy!! Impossible to eat. The place does not look very clean. And while we were eating a lady came in complaining that she had been charged twice for her food the day before. They didn't want to give her a refund. I hope this helps. There are way better places than this one.

    I never intended to go to Pho 777. I had planned to eat ramen at Yotteko-Ya, but I arrived at 2:30pm when Yotteko-Ya had already closed because their lunch hours were over. Pho 777 to the rescue. They were open and had several tables with diners. I'm still something of a pho novice, so I can't comment on the authenticity or comparative quality of the pho at Pho 777, but I thought the pho I had there was pretty good (not earth-shattering). I had the pho with raw beef slices that were added to the broth before coming to the table, cooked flank steak, and beef balls. I didn't care too much for the beef balls, as they tasted too strongly of offal (was it liver? yuch). The flank steak was ok, but the raw beef slices (that had cooked in the hot broth by the time the dish arrived at the table) were very good, and I'd order that next time. There seemed to be little slivers of tripe in the broth, but while I usually don't like tripe itself, their flavor seemed to enhance the rest of the dish. The "small" order was more than enough for me for lunch -- really a lot of soup. And the plate of basil and sprouts to go with it (huge quantity of fresh basil leaves -- although it didn't really taste like the basil I am accustomed to -- wonder if it was a different herb in the basil family) was much more than I expected. All for $8. Service was fine. Would go back for more.

  • Raphael L.

    I'm a little surprised that others have had such favorable reviews about this place. The decor is pleasant and quiet (half the place was empty on a Wednesday evening). But for a place with the word "Pho" in the title, I would expect that to be some signature dish for the place. As it turns out, there are a number of other Vietnamese places that make better Pho then this place. The broth tasted a little funny...certainly leaning towards something that had MSG rather than the normally rich broth I would expect of better places. The beef, tendon and beef balls were ok. Certainly nothing I would consider generous, and some of it was a little chewy and gristly. We ordered Summer rolls and that CERTAINLY was not fresh. Tasted as if it was pre-made in the morning and then they just bring it out whenever ordered. Overall I don't think the place sucked, but not a restaurant I'd go out of my way to return to

  • Katrice K.

    The pho here is by far the best! We came here mid-morning, and the service was really slow hence minus 2 stars. We had to wait 20 minutes before we even got water! I'll come back for good pho...hopefully service will improve

  • Brandon B.

    Pho restaurant in McCully center that I get taken to a few times. Peak times in McCully center share a high correlation with anger from finding parking. The inside is nice, clean, and good for groups. They got this big TV that's usually playing some random Vietnamese music channel and a pretty good distraction while eating. They say you feel fuller when you eat while you watch something. Total Vietnamese experience. Totally. The service... well when I go to most Asian diners, I don't really expect much more than the game faces of the servers and the mamas. At least our orders came out quickly and our drinks filled occasionally. This place has a decent selection of Vietnamese foods. Usually all I ever have at Vietnamese restaurants is pho so i can't really comment on the other dishes unless I bum some from the people I am dining with. The pho itself is decent. I love oxtail soup, but I find the portioning here a bit on the small side. :( Lots of noodles though. Feeling lucky? Try out Pho 777. That wasn't corny at all.

  • greg b.

    I've been coming here since the grand opening. You can probably find better pho broth on River St but if you want a little variety then Pho 777 is a great option. I personally suggest trying the green drink, lemon grass chicken, green papaya salad or beef salad but it's all good. I like that they're open late, close to Waikiki and servers are always having fun.

    (4)

  • Katlyn M.

    The broth is flavorful, and judging from the dry mouth and headache we got later on we're pretty sure they use plenty of MSG. The noodles don't taste right to me, but they gave plenty of rare beef with our rare beef pho. The crab noodle soup was really yummy (ordered less the pork blood), although I wish they put a crab claw in it like other places I've had it at. They are generous with the accompaniments like the mint leaves, bean sprouts, lime, etc. Other items: Combination rice plate - grilled pork chops were really delicious and the fried egg was nice and crispy. The egg/pork cake/meatloaf was tough and not so flavorful. Shredded pork was one of the better I've had. Wonton egg noodle soup - Wontons are not bad, broth is fine, but the noodles taste weird. Egg rolls - I've had better. They're only OK. Vietnamese ice coffee - It tastes good. As my Vietnamese friends say, the nicer looking the Vietnamese restaurant, the worse the food tastes. Gotta go to a good ol' hole in the wall. Granted, it is clean and nice on the inside, probably one of the nicer Vietnamese restaurants I have been to. The service has been good both times we've been there.

    Great pho but slow service. Big menu including bun, rice dishes, sandwiches and seafood. Pho has great broth. I usually go for the mix meat which comes with the works (tripe, tendon, beef ball, flank and rare steak.) Bun is also very flavorful. The grilled pork bun is a winner. This place would have received a higher rating if not for the slow service so if that is not a major concern for you, 777 is one of the better Vietnamese spots in town.

  • Stacey K.

    i love 777. 1. It's open late 2. The broth is clear and not too fatty 3. It's CLEAN! Unlike most pho places in downtown 4. They actually wash the veggies 5. You get your pho right away and don't have to wait 6. the quality of the rare steak is better than most places Don't get the summer rolls, get the spring rolls instead. 777 is more expensive than most places but it's CLEAN!!!

    While I don't think the pho here is the best, it definitely hits the spot after drinking for 4 hours. I always get Pho Tai (rare steak). There's no sense fooling around with anything else.

    i come here after work, these guys are good they know me and my coworkers very well that they know our usualls. I love their combination pho. And the iced coffee with condensed milk awesome. This place is a good late night pho place and is the only pho place in Hawaii that closes very late at night. Go ahead and try it, I recommend this place to all my friends and they loved it to. I work at a hotel and send guest here when they ask for Vietnamese places.

    see my review for pho bistro. I was about to go to the Chinese restaurant next door but decided at the last minute to go with this pho place. This restaurant is in a strip mall with a bunch of other restaurants, Chinese, Indian, taco bell, yogurt, etc. food: 4/5. This restaurant has a large variety of foods beside pho. the pho itself is decent, not a lot of msg. the meat is tender, noodle firm, along with large amount of vegies on the side. (I think most pho place in Hawaii give you lots of vegies due to the tropical weather where everything grow well: just a thought!) The fry pork with vermicelli noodles is great along with banh Xeo (Vietnames Crepe). I was about to give this place 3.5 but decide to upgrade to 4 stars ambiance: 3.5/5 a little more colorful than other dive-y place cleanlyness: 3/5 service: 4/5 decent service safety: 4/5 good location day and night, since this place seems to be very busy with all the restaurants and people. cost: 3/5. $9-10/ dish, pho included overall: 4/5 stars. I prefer pho bistro, but this place come close 2nd. If you wants other foods, than by all mean comes to this place, since they server banh Xeo, bun cha gio (egg roll) and thit nuong nicely.

We the told waiter/manager and he got angry, asking why he just didn't stop eating it but bf tried to explain he was almost done. eh the manager no believe! he just raised his voice but eventually comped the dish. hm whateva suck dese nuts, we aint comin back

    I gave 2 stars for the hours and the food. Everything else is just wrong. The service slow, wrong order, and attitude sucks. I'm in there because I live close by and they, open late. Need I say more... go in experience it and share your thought on yelp.

    Ordered the Cold Vermicelli w/spring rolls & bbq pork which was awesome because there were so much meat and I Luuuv meat. The spring rolls were good and tasty. I just couldn't believe how generous they were with the meat. At the same time I also ordered a small pho w/slices of rare steak. The pho broth tasted good and again the meat portion was generous. The service was kinda of slow but the food and service were great! I think I will be back here again trying other stuff on the menu.

  • sideshow b.

    4.5 but I'm giving it the bump up. Ok, maybe I know nothing about pho or maybe an extra month of operation has made all the difference, but she and I found the food here great! I had the rare beef pho, she had the Bún with spring rolls. My broth was especially flavorful, moreso than other places, and had a subtle but distinct "sweet spice" tinge to it. Cinnamon? Clove? I don't know, but it was awesome. At their offering, my beef was presented raw and separately. I like that. Then add the usual platter of basil, long coriander, sprouts and lemon and I was nearly in heaven. A quick squirt of Srirachi and a small dollop of garlic/chili paste and my journey was complete. My wife hates "fishy" and "salty". I tried a bit of her Nuoc Cham straight from the bowl and had to, well, kinda lie and say "hmmm, mellow". It wasn't. It was about the saltiest and fishest I had ever tried. I was somewhat fearful as she poured it over her dinner and dug right in. She stopped after her second or third bite, looked me right in the eye ... and requested a second serving of the sauce! All the while raving. I tried a bit of the sauce that filtered to the bottom of the bowl and couldn't detect a bit of fish and only a hint of salt. Ahhh, the science of food and blended flavors! The bad? It's a strip mall. And the place is way too bright. Cafeteria bright. The wait staff was casually dressed, like they just enjoyed a day at the beach. And while clean and tidy, there is virtually no ambiance (again, dim the lights). Go here for the food, not to impress your date--unless your date is impressed with simple flavorful food! We will be back.

    I ordered a takeaway lunch consisting of a couple of Vietnamese sandwiches ("ban mi") and spring rolls. Wish I had started coming here years ago! The service was quick and the staff was polite and attentive. The only drawback is the horrible parking.

    ok so after the 1st review i got in the mood and skooted over. raised eye brow moment of the night my partner orders a mixed nut sweety drink some drink dessert hybrid. just before the server is putting it down on the table, he says "you CANNOT return!" wtf? who returns a drink AND who says that?

    Pho. Or as my best friend who's significant other is Vietnamese corrects me as sounding like FUH. I must admit that I am biased. I dearly love Japanese food so when I eat Pho it tastes a little bland (must be the lack of dashi). Anyways this Pho place was actually pretty good. I had the chicken Pho. The prices were great and the restaurant was clean. Cleanliness is extremely important to me. But overall pretty good experience and will try something different the next time we go.

    It's in McCully Shopping Center. And everyone knows how bad the parking can get here. But, if it's worth anything, the pho is pretty good. Not the best, but close. For me, they use of the thicker noodles was a bad choice. I rather have the thinner ones. But what made up for it was the soup and the meat in it. Very good broth, and good beef. Plus the service was pretty good too. Always walking around and quick with the water. Plus, she was a cute one.

    My family and I went here after driving around looking for something to eat for dinner. I have a cold and wanted a nice hot bowl of pho and this place did not disappoint. I had no idea it was at this shopping center because I only go here for phucket thai or coffee or tea. Anyhow, the pho was great and we got it rather quickly. I agree with other reviewers that the service was relatively slow. I had to stare down the waiter to get him to give me my bill. Other than that, the food was great and the place was very clean.

    By far, my favorite Pho restaurant on the island. I always get the large pho with rare steak (outside) and a thai iced tea. Tasty broth and always lean thin sliced meat (round eye) is a plus. Their lemon beef salad is soooo good as is the green papaya salad. Service may be a little slow depending on who's working the floor, but overall, a fantastic place. Lots of parking and late hours = WIN. Hits the spot every time. Highly recommended!

  • Ira K.

    I have been going here monthly or bi-monthly for at least 2 years. It is my pho spot. The service is good enough. I never had a problem with the staff, but I go for the pho anyways. The food comes out pretty quickly most of the time, especially for pho, since all pho is premade by default (takes a day to cook). I tried pho on Waialae Ave. and Keeaumoku, before finally settling on Pho 777, mostly due to proximity to my home. But also because the pho isn't too sweet like some other places I've tried, mostly on the Mainland though (not Waialae or Keeaumoku, they make good pho too).

    (5)

  • Meep M.

    I have been back to this restaurant many times after writing my first review (since it's very convenient) and I must say that I've changed my opinion about this place. I always get the pho with rare steak (outside) and brisket. The brisket doesnt have a lot of fat and they give you a good amount of meat. The broth itself has a stronger star anise taste then most pho restaurants, but I actually like it.

    (4)

  • Gabby V.

    The pho here is tasty and the food comes really fast! And I like how it's open late in case I want to have pho before a late night study session like tonight. I think this is the only pho restaurant I know that is open past 9pm, even on sundays. It's always a good experience eating here.

    The pho and summer roll here is pretty tasty. I've tried both the seafood pho and the vegetable pho. The shrimp balls in the seafood pho are awesome! The vegetable pho is a bit blah--I'd rather get a plain pho with just noodles. The mint, mung bean sprouts, etc. are fresh and cleaned well. My husband tried the chicken curry with french bread and LOVED it so much that he ordered the same thing when we went back two days later. Like others reviewed, however, Pho 777 service is bad.

  • Dong D.

    Probably my worst dining experience... ever. My friend and I walked in at about 10PM to a half empty Pho 777. Standing near the entrance for about 2 minutes, we received no greeting as we waited to be seated. Then the cashier, apparently waved us in to sit anywhere. As soon as we were seated, the bus boy tells us we can't sit there, even though the restaurant was half empty, then moves us to an extremely small table. After having sat for about 10 minutes or so, someone finally comes up to take our order. After another 10 minutes, our water comes. Then after another 15 minutes, our food finally comes. The pho is nothing special; there are tons of different pho joints that are better (the broth was lukewarm and the noodles weren't fully cooked). My 11 dollar lemongrass chicken plate came with an extremely small bowl of rice and when I asked for more, the server gave me this glare and charged me $1.25 for it. Our water was never refilled, no thank you's, sorry's, or smiles; just angry workers(they give Vietnamese people a bad name). Come on now, how hard is it to put on a smile. All in all, food sucked, terrible service, and a long wait. I wouldn't recommend this place.

    I would never go back to this place again. The service was extremely slow. It took nearly 15 minutes to order. I had to ask for water, spoon and veggie. Summer roll was bland, and the peanut sauce has no taste. Pho broth had no flavor. Since I didn't have a saucer to put hoisin & hot sauce together, the meat had no taste. It was no comparison to Pho one, good food & fast service. I thought of walking out at least 3 times.

    I love pho. Correction- I'm addicted to pho. On a good week, I eat pho about 3 times a week. I eat so much pho, my boyfriend told me I have to go pho rehab lol Food: Pho soup is kinda bland, but tasty enough to enjoy. Summer rolls are not my favorite here. To me, it has a weird taste. I haven't ordered the springs rolls yet, but it looks pretty standard. -1 star Price: Pricey for a pho joint. Two medium phos cost me $19 and some change. My boyfriend wanted to get the seafood crispy noodles, but got turned off by the $17 price. -2 star Service: I've always experienced okay service. Not bad, but could be improved. Overall: This place is not my first choice, but I like how they are open really late! So, I will definitely return when I have late night cravings! +1 star

  • Maryann D.

    Customer service sucks! The food is mediocre---the pho is alright; I have definitely tasted better ones. My boyfriend got the pork chops with shredded pork chops and he didn't really enjoy it. It was edible--the shredded pork chops had an extremely weird texture, which he just didn't even bother touching at all. The small pho bowl for $7.50 is REALLY small. Very expensive for a pho place, but I suppose it's understandable because it is located in town. I guess I would say 2.5. If you're craving pho and want good costumer service, this isn't the place to go. The food is okay, but the customer service is just ugh.

  • Sheryll Y.

    Not the best pho on the island. But I do enjoy coming here as they are open late and have some of the items I like. The staff members are not that friendly nor efficient. Some tend to forget your order, or forget who you are, or get your order mixed with another group of people. It can be awkward at times. But the staff members who are efficient and don't mix up your order makes the atmosphere very pleasant. Located in an area that is easy to get to with a choice of other restaurants some not open as late as they are, you have a variety to choose from.

  • Lofa L.

    So my friends tried to convince myself and another ramen champion that pho is better. That's not true but we went with them to one of their favorite pho spots, Pho 777. We stopped buy and ordered meatball and rare steak pho. the pho was good. the meat balls and steak were good but I wish they didn't put the steak in the broth so early because it was almost cooked medium by the time it hit the table. I thought the steak would be on the side like the menu picture but it didn't come like that. They did hook it up with the beansprouts which i find most places give one person or a party of four the same amount. That's not right. They did the sprouts for the party justice. The broth was good but I did doctor it up with hoisin and rooster sauce so that might have some effect :). Overall pretty decent. I would come back again. But the parking here sucks balls. Not the restaurants fault but something i do consider. But I'd come back. Its convenient and affordable too! And they got a Jabba the Hut sculpture. That wins hardcore!

    Two infractions in one meal are a no go for me. We ordered spring rolls and found two black specks floating in our fish sauce. These were dead bugs. I ordered a small pho. In the fresh veggies that typically accompany the noodle dish, I found one very long hair tangled up on the ong choy. When I alerted the waiter, instead of taking away the veggies, he pulled the hair out of the veggies and only thought to replace the entire dish after I kept on staring. Pho was nothing special either. And at $4.50 for an ice coffee, you'd think that there would be enough to at least fill up the glass. Nope, the little saucer they gave me only filled up half of a tall glass. Most of the time I don't like to be so negative, but two in one is just gross. Who knows what the inside of their kitchen looks like? There's no shortage of good pho places in Honolulu, so avoid this place if you can.

  • Bryanie R.

    I don't really know big differences between the pho's that I eat at other restaurants, so to me, this pho was just fine. The broth was really good and it came out fast. For a small, it's an average of $8. The main reason why I gave this place two stars is because of the customer service. I don't think I've ever experienced something THIS bad before. Me & my friend just got through eating and the guy immediately comes over and tells us to do him a favor... To go up to the register and pay. I was like, okay.. Thanks? It's whatever. I didn't really mind that cause we can go pay when we please. BUT! He sticks around and starts fixing our table WHILE we're still sitting there. Pushing the napkins back to its place, adjusting the spices, and what not. We were kinda set back in our seats like, wtf? He was all up in there as if we weren't there anymore... So after that we get up and my friend pays for hers first. After she's done I'm next right? So I stand there and the two guys behind the register completely ignore me for a good 30 seconds. Just talking story. Talk talk talk. I honestly thought of just walking out cause they weren't even paying attention. But I believe in good karma, so I grabbed their attention and asked to pay my bill. BUT GET THIS! As he's putting in the total, taking my card, swiping it, and what not, he's talking to his coworker the entire time. He did not make eye contact with me not once. I have never In my life witnessed that before. I'm a customer and he's multi tasking by helping me and talking to his coworker. I'm not even exaggerating when I say his entire body was faced away from me the whole time he was doing my bill. I can not believe it. Nice job dude. I should've went back to the table and took my tip back cause they sure as hell DID NOT deserve it. So upset! with the customer service I received.

    The rolls and pho here are amazing. I tried the pho with oxtail and the vermicelli with bbq pork... wow. The pho was fatty and hard to take a break from(broth #onpoint). The vermicelli was ah ma zing and fulll of flavor. Spring rolls were perfectly cooked. But I wouldn't order the summer rolls again boring...(maybe not my thing,anymore?). The creative menu features porridges and tons of duck dishes as well. I look forward to trying the rice and noodle dishes here (great selection!).

    Despite having only 3 stars, my bf & I decided to eat here anyway because our 2 preferred pho spots in the area were closed for vacation. We made a huge mistake. Bad service, bad food. The place was packed & the workers seemed rather stressed & confused but I thought that might be due to an influx of customers with no other pho place to go. We walked in & were told by a young guy that there would be a 20 min wait. So we waited out front a while before noticing that other ppl coming in after us were actually being seated. We walked back in & some older guy sat us right down, came back to slam some waters down, then disappeared. After about 10 minutes, we had to flag a waiter down to take our order. The food came out rather quickly but was extremely disappointing. I always order the same thing at every pho restaurant: rare beef with well done flank. I purposely avoid the chewy (cheaper) parts of meat... but that was unavoidable here. They gave me so much cartilage/fat that I ended up with more "meat" in the discard pile than in my belly. Even my bf's beefball was about 50% fat gel. Shortly after we got our food, the table next to us became empty & an older guy from the back wheeled his bus boy cart over & literally parked it right behind my seat. As I sat there trapped, blocked in with nowhere to escape, he began tossing (yes tossing) used dishes & utensils into the cart that was right behind me. My bf & I had to stop our conversation for the *plomp* & *thwack* sounds of the dishes slamming into the plastic bins, all while my back got splattered & splashed by used crumbs of food from other ppl's dishes. I left here hungrier, dirtier & $37 poorer then I walked in. Never returning.

    Am I the only one here that always gets "something special" in my food? First the roach and hairs in the house sandwitch. Not gonna lie my bf orders the house sandwich a lot and about half the time we get a hair in it, just one (long one). But I got one to go and when my bf started eating it he found a white hair in it, when he checked about 5 more were found.... are they plucking white hairs out of old lady's heads? GROSS. It was too late to return it because maybe half was eaten. (Gag*) Sadly this was the last straw and we are no longer coming back here. Only reason we would is because I like that one sauce with the spoon in it, don't know anywhere else they have it. Actually the only reason we still go there.

    I don't eat Vietnamese food so I am writing this on behalf of my wife. We have been here few times and actually every time we visit the island always eat here, food taste good everything looks clean and service is great, only thing they just little cheap about giving you fresh green. I bring food from outside so I can eat with my wife and they do not mind that.

    Simple and cozy place. Always 1 woman show doing all the service. She still sweet lady tho, how busy this place are, she still smiling and taking my order. Pho not bad and delicious but my preference their rice and fried lemongrass promfet..

  • Lily N.

    This restaurants pho is okay it's not like the best I've ever had its not too oily . They have quite a variety of stuff but quality isn't like the best of the best . I normally get the chicken rice porridge and it comes as a bowl of rice porridge and on the side a plate of Vietnamese chicken salad topped with kinda spicy fish sauce . I think the salad is delicious and the rice porridge is pretty good kinda salty but has flavor . The customer service is sometimes okay sometimes they take like 20 mins to even take your order because it's so busy but it really depends on when you go there . Price point is moderate . If you're looking to go to eat really good pho with all your friends then maybe this place isn't the place to go

    My mother asked if I wanted anything from McCully Shopping Center and I told her that I was craving pad thai. I assumed she went to Phuket Thai. She comes home and I open the takeout container to find a bland-looking pad thai with shrimp. I'm already not impressed. One bite is all it takes for me to not crave pad thai anymore. There was no flavor and, just as I assumed, the noodles were unbearably chewy and bland. The shrimp also weren't deveined...I was completely disgusted by what was in front of me. I tell my mother that Phuket Thai has really gone down in quality and she says that she didn't go to Phuket Thai! Turns out that she went to Pho 777 on accident. Now I understand why the pad thai was shit.

    Just pretty average overall. The waiters took a while to bring out waters and take our order. The food was just alright. My pho was rather bland. If you are craving noodles when you are in McCully Shopping Center, I think Yotekko-Ya ramen is a better option.

    Good late night spot! 3.5 stars It's a hole in the wall, the entire strip mall actually is. But when hungry and craving Vietnamese after an evening of drinks you let appearances slide for that feel good feeling (in this case a full tummy). & unlike that next morning regret of an alcohol induced hook-up (so I hear) this place will leave you still feeling happy with your decisions the next morning. The service was prompt and attentive. Prices are inexpensive. Portions are huge. We ordered a bit of everything on the menu and shared, everything tasted fresh and delicious.

  • Nicholas L.

    First, there is one considerable red flag. I've seen bugs in the restaurant on two occasions. If you can find a way to look past that, and I don't blame you if you can't, the food is actually really good. Hopefully they fix or have fixed the bug issue; the last time I was there, it was before Hawaii's most recent health code rating system. So if you see anything other than an "A" rating, then buyer beware. But back to the food. The phos are outstanding! I hate getting chicken at are some places where the meat is clearly composed of dark, ligament laden, rubbish cuts. At Pho 777, they use the good white meat from the breast. The broth is outstanding and the veggies are always fresh. The beef pho is great as well. I've always had good experiences eating there rare steak straight from the plate into my hot broth. The rice dishes are also a great addition to change up the normal pho selection. They are open late, so often times, its really the only place open to get spring rolls and pho late night. The service is just ok, but I don't have particularly high expectations for a place that doesn't pretend to be upscale. It's clearly a "mom-n-pops" style of restaurant where the servers are nice, not of course not classically trained. All-n-all, you get what you pay for and it high quality food relative to the price. Plus its open late, so when comparing Pho 777 to other kitchens that are also open till midnight, it becomes apparent that the restaurant is on par for other reputable restaurants.

    This place is the last resort for me. Food quality is average, and the hours are convenient, but that's all this place has going for it. Likes: It's open late. That's it. Dislikes: Service is bad. I understand that service slows down when it gets busy, but acknowledging that we will be attended to would ease some of the frustration with waiting. Also, when we finally got our food, there were no spoons on our table, and he said, sorry no spoons right now, too busy. Tables were sticky and nasty, so I splashed some water on the table and wiped it down. There are better pho places out there. Average food, above average prices and below average service.

  • Donny S.

    Came here for the first time because I was craving for Pho late at night and this place was still opened. Wasn't too busy when I went in and I just order a pho. It took over an hour for them to serve my pho, I would've just left already but my friend ordered a rice plate and although it also took long for her food to come out, it came out before my food so I had to wait for her to finish eating first. For a place called pho 777, it shouldn't be too hard to make and serve pho. The pho wasn't that great or anything either and they only gave me very little bit. They also did not check up on us at all or refill our water until we asked. I will definitely not come back here and do NOT recommend you guys to try this place either. Pro: Pho shop opened late at night Cons: Horrible customer service Not very good pho & very small portion size Have to wait an hour just to get pho from a restruaunt with pho in it's name

    Dear Pho 777's Satay Sauce, The time has come for me to admit to you my true feelings: I have a mad crush on you. Yes, it's true. There is something about you and I crave you, I dream about you, and you don't compare to any other. To be honest, I have tried others and you are simply the best. My pho, my fried rice, my spring rolls, and my bbq chicken plate were all so yummy before I met you. But now that I have them with you, I am just not the same. You make everything more amazing than ever! Literally, I want you alone, but it looks a little weird if I don't order anything and sit there with you. I don't just like a little bit of you, I like you A LOT....if you know what I mean. I see those other temptations at the table, but none compare to you - not even close. You are the amaze-balls! Secretly Yours, Satay Sauce Obsessed

    Happy New Years gang!!!! I tried to start off 2014 right by getting in a workout, then trying to eat something healthy for lunch........... Yesterday, I look my sister & her bf to out for lunch at the McCully Shopping center. We originally tried to go to Phuket Thai, but it was closed, so we went upstairs and tried to go to Yotteko-Ya Ramen, unfortunately for us, that was closed too. Lastly we ended up at Pho 777.........this was a big mistake..........all I can say about this place is, it's PHOKING DIRTY!!!!! Besides ordering a bowl of pho, I had ordered some appetizers for us to share. My sister had suggested some kind of shredded pork summer rolls. When the waitress dropped off some small plates for our appetizers, as I distributed the dishes out to my sis & her bf, I noticed two of the plates were dirty (I should have took a picture of this). It even appeared that one dish had some kind of sauce residue on the plate which totally grossed me out! All I can say is first impressions really makes a difference, and upon seeing this, I kinda lost my appetite to eat. To top off my meal, I had a free body cleanse a few hours later..........."if you know what I mean!" The meal really cleaned me out!!!! I think I will stick to my favorite hole in the wall place - Pho Nina.

    Definitely not set up to handle large crowds. Came here post-hurricane iselle because of course mister has nothing besides canned food which, while nice for hurricane conditions, is definitely not an appealing option if anything else is available. Anyway, they were open despite the threat of the hurricane and because of that they were VERY busy. With only about half a dozen people managing the whole establishment, it was a little hectic and very very slow. A few issues that may have just been because of the situation..maybe. 1. There was no sign in sheet when we arrived and because of that a couple behind us was seated before we were. Since the line was so long, I was not very happy about that but didn't realize it until it was too late. 2. There were tables that could've been cleared so more people could be seated but were just sitting unattended with dirty dishes. I suspect that was because they were so busy but if they have the space then they should be able to accommodate people to fill the seats, amirite??? 3. They pushed the dirty dish cart through the dining area at one point when they cleared one of the large tables, which I'm pretty sure is not very sanitary but is also quite unseemly. The experience was two stars but I actually liked the pho and it came out really quick so overall: three stars. Would probably be better if I came under regular circumstances and I might be back for another attempt since I like good food with free parking. ;)

    I've been a fan of this place for a long long time. And every single time I'm always ordering a 17 Large. I will sometimes get a starter. It's usually the spring rolls, but this time around went after the summer ones. Go figure!! Summer time!!! The pho here has a distinct taste. Not a bad thing. Its just so different from other places. The broth is what makes the soup fabulous. So used to the taste it's why I come back. Still I wonder though if they really prepare the soup for hours at a time (the traditional way of preparing) or if they use spices wrapped in a cheese cloth (for fast kine service). Anyhow, still good soup!!! The atmosphere here is like every Vietnamese pho joint. Tables set up with booths while the tv plays music shows. I mean if this was a Filipino restaurant, TFC off course would be playing on the screen. LMAO!!!! Pho 777 ran out of their banana tapioca tonight, but the waiter was kind to check if there would be any left for me to indulge on. Surprisingly so, one was made and instead of it being cold, a fresh one was made. Not much of a dessert person, I finished the thing cause having it warm and fresh made all the difference!!!! The cleanliness of this establishment definitely needs some TLC. The restroom needs a mopping. And they also need to fill the soap, toilet tissue and paper towels. Service was always dull here. They take your order. Ok. They come back once to check if all is good. Ok. And the rest of the time your raising your hand or doing something to get their attention if u needed further service. BUT, who cares cause I know this is not some top of the line 5 star restaurant. In the end. I walk up, pay the bill and always leave at least a 10 % tip!!!

    I'm updating my review of Pho 777 because I gave them another chance. There's still one guy that's pretty grouchy, but other than that everyone else was very professional and pleasant last night. Now as for the food - the pho was good. Can you guys cook char the kalbi ribs a little? They aren't supposed to be soggy. Pho 777 isn't my favorite pho joint, but late at night you don't have too many choices.

  • Theresa A.

    I recently ordered their pork chop for take out. It was awful. Tasted like it was leftover pork chop from the other night. It didn't taste like it was freshly made. I couldn't eat it. All I ate was the cucumbers in the salad and had a bowl of cereal instead. It sucked because it was take out so I couldn't have them make me a new one. I've ordered this many times before to eat in and it's always good. Not tonight! I was greatly disappointed. I don't think I will be going there again anytime soon.

  • Helen H.

    I use to be a frequent here at Pho 777 but i stopped coming and now i remember why. Pho isn't that great here and service has really took a turn from when they first opened. I came here a few days ago, I got the pho with beef. The broth was just average. It just.. didn't do it for me. And the meat.. it was a little too thick and too chewy for my liking. There's really not much to say about the pho, but I've had better. My family also got the spring rolls, which i didn't eat because I had a sore in my mouth :( The Service was the worst for me. When the spring rolls came out, the waiter didn't bother getting us plates until we asked him. We never got our waters refilled, and the waiter never came back to check up on us except for the time he asked if we were done. When we said no, he just walked away and came back again in a few minutes and asked us if we were done.. Are you kidding.. So we just hurried, paid, and left. The pros.. they're open late and well, their thai tea isn't bad. Pho 777 is in McCully Shopping Center so parking is shared with all the other establishments. Finding parking on Friday-Sunday night is almost impossible for me. Honestly, I don't think I'll be coming back, not for a long long time at least.

    I thought this place was good on the prior 2 visits, however yesterday I vowed to not return. Upon entering the restaurant, I waited a good 5 mins before the woman working in the back even came out of the kitchen to acknowledge me. So, I went to the counter and grabbed a menu to see what I wanted to order. So, once she comes out, I place an order for a Pho with rare steak (small size please) and she says ok and walks away. Pho comes out and I take my time eating it. Not once did she check up on me or ask if I wanted more water. After what seemed like an eternity she walks out and I ask for water & the check. While she fusses at the register, I walk up to make it easier for her...lol. I say why is the price higher? She rudely says "because you order a large Pho". I said, no I did not, I ordered a small one. I never order a large. She then is cold and off-putting and tells me to just pay her such and such. WT?!@#@ I pay for it and on top of that still added a gratuity, not 20% mind you, however just because it is a service industry. Bad customer service and inexcusable behavior is a huge turn off for me. Seriously, I am a customer wanting to give you my money for your business and you treat me that way? I don't think so. Buh-bye Pho 777 :-(

    I am a pho LOVER but I only come here when it's late at night & no where else is open. I always order beef pho with rare steak, tendon & beef balls. The soup is ok. The noodles are ok. The meat is good. The service is ok. Like I said, I only come here because they're open later than any other pho place that I know of. I do like that they give you small, medium & large options for your bowls thought. A lot of pho places only have medium or large, or only one size.

    this is a convenient Pho place for me as it's within walking distance from my friends house. When we have a taste for some Pho we just walk to Pho 777 and avoid the headache of trying to park in the McCully shopping center. If you are driving good luck finding parking any night of the week as the parking lot is almost always totally full and backed up. They have a pretty large menu but I've only tried the Pho here and I have to say it is pretty tasty, they get the broth just right and you get a choice of some very interesting "meats". My friend gets the special meat combo and seems to really enjoy all the tendons and cartilage that it entails...I stick with the thinly sliced beef. Though the workers aren't the friendliest in the world they are fast and responsive. We usually just drink water here but they do have a bar and small selection of bottled beer. This is not the best Pho place in Hawaii but for me it's a convenient and efficient way to curb my Pho cravings, I'll continue to visit when I have a craving and am at my friends house.

    Parking is sometimes a problem..but the wait is fairly short and fast service. I love to eat the spicy beef, one of my all time favorites I can eat once a week, if can.

    Finished school at 130, decided to go on a joy ride to find a good place to eat. Ended up in McCully, coming all the way from Kalihi, and decided to come here. I had only an hour before we had to head back to school for practice... I ordered a rice plate with bbq chicken (not a big phan of pho, $10) and bf ordered a regular pho (large only for takeout, $11). Paid $22 for the both of us. Pricey!!! Got our food in about 10 minutes. Bbq chicken is good. Comes with side of pickled raddish and carrot, cucumber, fish sauce, and broth. Gotta have my broth!!! Got two huge pieces of chicken! Enough for my sister and I to share. Bf liked his pho. Came with only 4 meatballs, tripe, brisket, and a side of raw meat, which we didnt eat. Prices may be a bit too high for just two meals but not bad considering that their food was up to par as well. Might come back again if I happened to be in the area, but not if I were out on a joy ride......

    I'm so disappointed. I feel that I always give this place the benefit of the doubt, but today everything just sucked! At least before there spring rolls were decent, today was just plain horrible. & the pho, was junk (of course), but it wasn't even hot! & then the service was horrible, they took forever to take our order. We had no little sauce bowls & in the middle of when we were eating a worker came with a sauce bowl, grabbed our hoisin sauce, poured the sauce into the bowl & walked away. Wtf! The only good thing is that they're open late, if that didn't happen, they'd be outta business.

    I've been here several times now over the past few years and the service seems to get worse every time. We get sat almost immediately then wait anywhere from 10-15 minutes to have our order taken. On this most recent visit we watched as a table who got sat 5 minutes after us had their order taken before ours. My girlfriend actually got up and asked the person at the register to take our order since no one else seemed to care to. Keep in mind there were three "servers" on the floor and the restaurant was hardly busy. The food is OK, which is why I'm giving it two stars, but it's not likely I'll be returning here. There are other options in the area.

    Pho 777 is my go to place for pho whenever I am sick or just needing a pho fix. They are located at the Mcully shopping center above 711. Parking may sometimes be a bit challenging if you're going during rush hour. But there's always a fast turn around time with parking there or you can park in their parking garage. I always get the Oxtail Pho and or Meatball Pho in the small size and it's perfectly good and enough to fill my stomach. They come in Small/Medium/Large and I think extra large as well. Every time I've come here for dinner and lunch, it's always easy to get seated and the food comes out about 5-10 minutes after ordering. Should you have an iDcard in hand they will honor that Monday-Thursday 10% off your tab.

    It was my first time here and well it was really good. I have only recently started eating Vietnamese food and well this place was okay. I can't really say I know a lot about Vietnamese food but from what I had was pretty good. I love love spring rolls and well it was very yummy, love dipping them and stuffing them all down my throat. The service was okay, she wasn't "on it", but it was pretty busy. It was very loud and I couldn't really hear my hubby talking. It also made my son I bit irritated with the loud Vietnamese lady and guy singing off pitch. Overall it was good and I'm not sure if I'll be back.

    I went to pho 777 on MC cully shopping center . I order the beef stew , the beef smell very bad , I let the owner know , he ask me how come and I told him I don't know , he went in side the kitchen . 20 minute after he bring out for me new bowl of beef stew and he told me try it. I try eat the beef but it still smell stink as if the meat is expired and rotten , then I let him know but he never say sorry . He told me he didn't why because they just cook the beef stew this morning . Horrible customer service and disgusting food! I will never come back here again and I hope no one else will get sick from eating here

    I only eat here because they close later than other pho places. Came here last night with the bf, and I got my usual rare beef + meatball pho in small. My bf usually gets the combo in large, with a side order of 4 spring rolls. Overall, the food was alright. However, I found a bug swimming in the broth, so I picked it out of my bowl just to make sure and yup! I seen its wings. Bleh, didn't finish my bowl. Also, customer service also needs improvement. The waiters never checked up on us to see if we needed anything. I had to walk up to the counter to ask for spoons.

    A girl can only eat so much coco ichi curry. I forgot about the existence of this pho restaurant on the second floor of the mccully shopping center. Even though it's pretty average vietnamese food imho, I'm glad I tried it because I'll probably be back. I called in a take out order and was pleasantly surprised that the guy who answered the phone spoke perfect English (usually I have to repeat my order a few times when I get take out from anywhere). He was pleasant and to the point. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes too! I was also surprise by the size of the restaurant. It's relatively large and somewhat crowded. Good for them! I'm glad others remember that this places exists (or maybe it's the overflow from people tired of waiting for fook yuen).

    I don't like pho. It has nothing to do with this restaurant. I prefer vermicelli (rice noodle) with spring rolls or BBQ Chicken. Love it here. Servings are full, veggies are fresh. My favorite go-to Vietnamese restaurant. Crave the fish sauce every time! Flavors are spot on. Parking looks full out front, but there is underground parking off to the side (Taco Bell side of the building). Air-conditioned, plenty of seating (not tight like Hale Vietnam).

    this was my 1st time here & i was NOT satisfied! first off we get seated to our table which was not even clean. Our waiter brought us our food & did not come ONCE after that to check on us after tha few times he walked right past our table. Some of them barely understand when you're talking to them which just gets frustrating. & Lastly half way through eating my chicken pho, i pull out my chicken about to eat it & theres a hair attached to it. [It defenitely wasnt mine] Oh & to top it off they JUST gave me another pho (to replace the other one) but we got it to go & they didnt even give us the side veggies to go with it :( ughh defenitely not somewhere i'd eat again. UPDATE: i just opened up the noodles to see if it was cooled off enough & theres NO soup in the "pho" at all..just noodles,chicken,onion & green onion. I am ONE ANGRY customer"!!!! wish i could give this rating a no star rating

    Known for their late night pho place. We came here around 9pm ish. There wasn't a lot of people there. Service was sloooow. Flagging them down was not possible. We had to go to them to ask for a container and get the check. Food wasn't anything special. Pho soup was salty.

    Horrible service. I came here twice and the man made my friends and I felt pressured to order. when I asked if we could start off with appetizers, he denied and said to order everything at once. Then he went ahead and decides to change up our orders not in a suggested manner but in a grouchy tone, rude attitude. In a rush and just plain rude! Never again. On top of that no one even came by to refill our drinks! Everytime I come here I get really bad service.

    This is our usual spot for whenever we're craving pho. My fiancé normally gets the combo that has all the different meats in there and I get their Kalbi plate with side sunny side eggs. Pho tastes pretty much like every pho out there. Honestly, I think it all depends on how the person flavors it from there when they add the plum sauce, hot sauce, and all that good stuff. Sometimes I'm a bit skeptical about whether they reuse their vegetables. But I see a lot of other pho restaurants do the same thing where they put it on a seperate tray and not dump it with the rest of the dirty plates. I just hope they don't because that would be nasty. Anyways, their Kalbi is always good and portions are good as well. My main complaint would be about my eggs. Now I know you probably think it's weird that I'm complaining over eggs but the past few times we came here my eggs were cooked well done after specifically asking for it to be over easy. Finally we decided to tell them sunny side up and that looked like over easy. I think their cook is confused. So if you're one of those people that love over easy eggs with their food, tell them sunny side up instead

    The spring rolls were fantastic. Basically a party in your mouth with the pork and the shrimp dipped into the peanut sauce. I had the lemon grass chicken for lunch. The sauce for the chicken was fantastic, and the quantity was perfect. My wife enjoyed the beef Pho as well as the spring rolls that were we shared. The reason for the three stars was because the restrooms were not the cleanest in the world and the service was not fast as it took a good 10 minutes for the server to ask what we wanted to drink. Other than that, the place was great.

    One word: DIRTY. Decided to come here because the usual place I go to for Vietnamese food was closed. When we entered the restaurant it was empty. Not a customer in sight. I think I now understand why. We sat down at a table and had our order taken. When someone in the back brought our pho, his hands were FILTHY! I don't know who he was, if he was the cook or someone just hanging out in the back, or a waiter. But if you're going to serve food, you have to be clean. It is for sanitary reasons buddy. Totally made all the food unappealing. The pho broth was meh. The one thing that wasn't enjoyable at all was the meat they put in the pho. It did not taste good at all and made us question the freshness. I also noticed while we were sitting in the restaurant that people were coming in and out of the back or kitchen. It was really odd to me.

    We've been here a few times, kinda on the fence about it, but hoping this would be one of our "go to" pho noodle shops. however, the food is okay, nothing special. The incident that killed it for us was the last time we were there, one of the waitresses (I presume a co-owner) accused us of not paying as we were walking out the door. She yelled, "hey! You pay?!" the entire restaurant turned to look at us. Another lady on the other side of the room heard and waved to her that we had. Well, lady, that was poor customer interaction. My husband is straight-laced and was offended by her street-like manner so we will never return. Pho 777, you have pissed off my husband and he was the one that usually requested your food.

    They do a veg pho and Didn't put up a about "doesn't taste good without fish sauce". Very good customer service and have a decent selection and variety of veg friendly menu items clearly marked. Good sized portions for veg diet

    Me and my comrade came here on a blissful week of March of the 24th and my oh my had I never had a better server than Matthew. My tastebuds are enlightened by this majestic restaurant. Let's just say that if I were to chose between shaving my eyebrows off and eating here I would order the large #14. My comrade said he wants to marry Matthew. My oh my right glorious of May of jelly wankins I am so grateful to be alive. Thank u Matt u r the best FMD 808

    Not only were portions small and items like mint and lettuce not very fresh, but there was a large piece of PLASTIC WRAP in the pho broth. I went on yelp while at the table and saw that someone had the same thing happen YESTERDAY in another dish (and another a few months ago). Not coming back. No wonder we only got "so sorry" it's a common thing...

    WORST pho restaurant/ take out ever. After reading all the reviews, especially the recent ones, i hesitated to cancel my take out order, but figured to chance it, since it could probably be out of 100 there was a bad review. Even seeing roaches in other peoples food, i cringed thinking the broth was probably cooking with roaches... But still because it was close to my home, and ALOHA PHO doesnt open till NOON... (I always eat there), i gave it a chance... Summer rolls: Wrapper was so sticky, that when i pulled apart the rolls, it made each others wrapper break since it was pulling from each other. That i could deal with, but the SAUCE was horrible.. It did not taste like that creamy peanut sauce.... But more of a tangy, little sour gooey texture taste.. At first i thought my shrimp or meat in there was spoiled. Spring Rolls: Mint in there and Lettuce was brown and welting.. I guess not so bad.... Other than that, spring roll was decent. Not bad. Pho: Some of the noodles were undercooked. (saw that complaint on anothet yelper's review) Broth was alright, nothing to jump up and down for. Most disappointing was the peanut sauce.. I usually scrap it all out till theres nothing left, but i barely touched this one. I need to eat at Summer Rolls again to salvaged my cravings.

    I would give this place a NEGATIVE star if I could! I don't know why I come here because Every time I come here, the service is terrible and we always have to wait an unacceptable amount of time for our food. Plus on top of that, I JUST FOUND A COCKROACH in my chicken pho! (I posted a picture of it) This will be the LAST time I will ever be eating here and I highly suggest you choose wisely before eating here.

    Have now been here 2 times and safe to say I'm in no hurry to go back. First time there, had the crab tomato soup and it was just wrong. Second time there, had the pho with brisket and tendon (my go-to pho order) and some spring rolls. The broth here is lighter than most places which some may prefer but I found to be a bit bland. They do give a lot of meat in the pho, almost too much, but the quality of teh brisket wasn't that great. The tendons were fine but I wish there were more of it. The spring rolls were possibly the densest I've ever had. They certainly packed a lot of stuffing into that thing, but not in a good way. It made the whole thing tougher to eat and not as tasty. Service was okay but don't expect to get any help out of the males who work there. I think they only understand Vietnamese and I couldn't even get a simple spoon from one of them. The portions here are huge though so if that's your thing, go ahead and try it.

    Been here twice so far, and I have to say that Pho 777 is probably the BEST pho I ever ate. The first time I went, I could taste the difference with the broth between some of the other pho places. The second time, still very yummy, BUT my cousin found a piece of plastic in his spring roll. They apologized and made up for it. But just need to be careful. Also keep in mind that parking is a bit crowded.

    I am crazy about Pho ever since i went to California. My cousin suggested this place to me and the food wasnt to die for. The environment wasnt bad but i was not impressed by the food. For me the pho soup tasted a bit too citric but to each their own. I went back for a second time but it was the same and i wont be going back for pho at least but maybe i will try a vitmanese sandwich instead.

    Place is nice and roomy but employees are junk. Rude and disrespectful , "what you want" is not how you service customer . Not worth it. The food we order wasn't good, Broth was warm not hot so when you put the vegies in the soup got cold quick. These guys dont deserve a star. Honey pot is better try them first .

    The Pho here is good but it doesn't look like the cleanest environment. Service is okay at best but the pricing is okay. Park in the downstairs parking area if it's a busy night.

    Was craving for bun Bo hue (spicy beef noodle with thick vermicelli ) so I ate here since its close. I don't eat beef or blood block so they were nice enough to add more pork slices and fish cake. It was tasty. Run around 8-9 bucks. I also think their rice and pork chop is pretty good. It's clean. I also like it that they open really early since I wake up early. But the food does take a pretty long time since there's only one worker in the morning. How it is in the afternoon then I really don't know.

    I'm glad I avoided this place till now, and SERIOUSLY question the service and sanitation ethics there. Last Sunday night, my other half and I joined sis and her husband for a late night bite, around 23:00. They'd been here before, and mentioned the service was somewhat wanting, but the food was pretty good. Ok, so "typical Asian restaurant" kind of service, I thought. Yeah, it was about there, but went down the tubes very fast... We ordered appetizer summer rolls, three bowls of pho, and a vermicelli bowl. 1.) So, the three pho came out, and the waiter had them jumbled up, calling one type another. Never mind, we sorted it out. Soup was rather bland, nondescript, muddled flavor. Humph. Not wowed at all. 2.) My brother in law's vermicelli and spring rolls came out almost 10 minutes after the pho! And the waiter/food runner did not give him the extra sauce on the tray, once he saw there was a sauce on the table already. Just dropped off the food and abruptly zoomed off with the sauce on the tray. 3.) Finally got runner to stop by and get the extra sauce. Seems runner and waiters do not communicate... where are the summer rolls??? Sis says last time, one of her items came at the end of her meal. WTH? SMH... 4.) WTF?!! There is a wooden TOOTHPICK in my noodles! Seriously grossed out, as there are no toothpicks offered at front of house.... Flagged down food runner, made him aware of issue, said he'd inform manager. 5.) After several minutes of waiting, the food runner said manager busy cannot come to table, but he's over by counter if want to see him. OMG?!? When does a manager NOT directly address this kind of issue immediately!? Furious, I leave the table to go and give him (while trying not to make a scene) a piece of my mind. Beyond the bad customer service, what kind of health and sanitation issues do you think this issue poses? I ask him, to an incomprehensible "um, ehh... Well,..." kind of response and a weak offer to exchange my order for a new item. NO. THANK YOU, BUT NO. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER BOWL OF PHO OR OTHER ITEM, I NEED IT REMOVED FROM THE TAB. I was so put out, I didn't even think to inquire about my summer rolls. 6.) Returning to table, I learn my other half's soup spoon was crudded with dried/old rice and whatnot. BIG gross out, letter to Department of Health and Sanitation is now in the mail. Brother in law went to pay for the balance of the meal, and questioned that the summer rolls were still on the tab. We hadn't received them at the table. "Oh, sorry, we'll take that off." Lame! 7.) Enough of this, we left. The FOOD RUNNER comes to the door and offers us apologies for the bad experience. Where the hell was the waiter/manager??? Not to be found... So in summary: Lame food, bad customer service, slow food delivery, questionable sanitation. Do I REALLY have to give it a star? :(

    They're open late and the spring rolls are awesome. Probably the only two good things there. Service is always slow, if you make a phone order, they are most likely to forget about it... Pho is mediocre, there's much better places out now. I feel like there's tons (and tons) of MSG in that thing. they also fail in cleanliness.

    considering the location, this is a good spot to stop if you have to stay near waix. but if you can, head down to Chinatown for pho. chicken pho is yummy and good size for price. good service and there are always Korean music videos playing.

    Enjoyed the sample of spring rolls at Yelp's Girls Night Out at McCully Shopping Center, so I'm back to have dinner with a friend! The spring rolls are light, not oily, and stuffed full of yummy ingredients to make you smile! Of course you need the fresh leaf lettuce, mint, and rice noodles to wrap it up and dip into the sauce! ONO! Also tried their bbq chicken sandwich because I wasn't too hungry (having eaten too much soft serve ice cream at lunchtime!). The baguette was crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and the chicken was flavorful along with the pickled vegetables; just include some hot chili sauce and YUM! A delightful experience and attentive service. We'll be back for sure!

    Located upstairs in the Mcully shopping center. Opens late for cheap okay tasting pho. Came here a little before 10pm the other night and shared a large pho with the beef slices on the side. I've recently only started liking pho as far as the broth goes with tons of lemon. But Pho 777 only carries lime! No complaining since our pho was only $9 and they do take the ID card. I like the fact that they have an option of having pho with just the broth and meat/shrimp balls

    It could probably be 3 stars but I had to ding it for being so expensive. Also, I will say that they are open late, so if you're looking for late night food, that may be why you'll give it a lot more stars. But I'm old and boring so I treated it as a normal dinner place and so it was meh...If I needed a late night food option, maybe I'd have rated it higher too but alas, I am just normal. Crispy spring rolls were pretty tasty. Comes with 6. I forget how much it is. Crispy and tasty and has good flavor. That's where the word "tasty" went into hiding. Chicken pho. Beware, you can order chicken pho with BEEF BROTH in 3 sizes ($7.75/$8.25/$8.75), or you can order chicken pho with CHICKEN BROTH (hidden in the menu as #42) in only 1 big size ($9.25). I really just wanted a small chicken pho with chicken broth but oh well. That didn't happen. The portion is big enough but it was just ok. The soup is not the crisp and clean flavor and tastes really salty. The hot sauce tastes like it has lemongrass in it, which most people will like, but it had a little too much for me. The crab soup was sort of meh as well.Didn't have the fresh taste like Pho Thinh. The shredded pork looked sort of like jellyfish and daikon combined, but that the pork was missing. I wanted to order a Vietnamese iced coffee but at $4.25 I figured it couldn't possibly be worth it. There is a really big menu. Both physically and figuratively. So there are a lot of choice if that's what you're looking for. Maybe I just ordered all the wrong food. Service wasn't too friendly. Well one guy was friendly and everyone else wasn't. At least there's free parking in McCully shopping center, if you can find space.

    Restaurant was very spacious very good for groups and even people with kids using strollers can manuveer in the restaurant without banging into someone's chair. Customer service is a little slow even when it wasn't that busy. We ordered the #17, the pho with oxtail, and house special fried rice. The broth in pho was good. Not to greasy and full of flavor. The meat portion was good also. The noodles were slightly overcooked for my liking. But overall the pho was tasty and portioned well. My daughter's fried rice was alright. I can't really rave on something like fried rice. But I wish they had a smaller portion of fried rice for kids.

  • Cj Z.

    Ugh...the pho is very mediocre. The broth is plain salty without any taste of beef soup. I would not choose to return agin. Fyi, medium pho is $9. Last time I came here was over one year ago. This place used to be so much better in terms of food.

    we had a great lunch here! on an hour break from a long, dry training, we needed good hearty food to get us through the afternoon. the service was impeccable (she even offered to move us from one table as the TV was on and loud), our water was always full, and she didn't even get angry at me when I spilled sauce all over the table. (low blood sugar, I swear!) the vegetarian spring rolls were stuffed full and delicious! I loved the rare beef/flank pho I chose. so ono!! I cannot wait to go back.

    The only thing that's good about this place is that they're open later than most pho places in Hawaii. Other than that, it's very dirty and the service isn't that great. The last time I came here for late night pho, I had seen a cockroach crawling across the ground. After squashing it, I covered it with a napkin and told the server who then picked it up and threw it in a finished bowl of pho. Needless to say, we left and never went back.

    Terrible service. Didn't get water till our food came. Ordered a soda, didn't even receive it. The guy who took our order never checked on us, aside from throwing the menu down on the table. Try changing professions if you're that unhappy with your job. Rice noodles in vermicelli was so soggy. The hours is the only great thing there. I wish Pho bistro down the road opened that late.

  • Holanbay L.

    Never understand why some would rate pho based on the restaurants' service, or salad or vegan pho. Duh...I heard many praised for this place; since I'm a hardcore pho fan, I decided to give it a try. Nah... the spring rolls r OK, the pho... flavorless. Only thing good is the hot sauce,, which they infused with lemongrass, NICE touch. Wish many other pho places could have that. Again, this pho is junk.

    Hair, Bugs, Long Waits and Out of order Service. In the past three times I have come to Pho 77, my rank for this place just seems to lower and lower. It's not that their food is bad, or they are bad to me, but from just being an observant customer, I notice a lot of things. THINGS IN THERE FOOD. The first time I came here with my mom, sister and my sister's boyfriend we were all starving, we were served quickly and got our pho. My sister's boyfriend found a bug in his soup. IT WAS A ROACH. He was furious and they replaced it quickly. I looked around in mine and found s very small fruit fly. I just scooped it out because I understand that they are harmless and that it would take forever for them to wash every single basil leaf thoroughly. I mean even under a quick rinse the fly could have been holding on with all its strength. I let that go. So with his new bowl, he finds strands of long hair. That is inexcusable. I felt bad for him and he looked pissed. From then on, we ate our pho slowly checking everything that went in our mouth. WAITING FOR DAYYYS. The service here is pretty bad. They have a pretty big place compared to some pho places, but I think they need to know there limit. I feel like they always take in more customers than they could handle and just run around trying to please whoever they want when they want too. For example, my friends I and I were seated (party of 3), then a family of 8 was seated, and then a Vietnamese couple was seated last. Obviously the couple got their water and food before us or the family. The family sitting had to wave down the waiter just to get water after the Viet couple already began eating. By the time we got our food, the mother of the family waved down the guy to say they were ready to order. I could tell they were mad because they were waiting over 25 minutes before they got to order their pho. With only two workers that night trying to serve 20 tables, I give them no pity. They could have been honest and told people at the door to wait. Honesty isn't bad. I would rather be told, "Sorry we are busy, please wait 20-30 minutes," instead of being sat and getting all pissed as I waited for some attention. Luckily their pho and vermicelli bowls are amazing. Wells I love the pounded shrimp and pork vermicelli the best. It is full of noodles and veggies with lots of taste. If it weren't for their food, I would probably give them a 1. They really just need to work on running their restaurant effectively. Probably if they weren't always rushing, no unexpected things would end up in their food.
