Pho Bistro 2! Perfection

My wife Phuong and I are always on the lookout for a good bowl of Pho.  Our favorite is Bac Nam but I believe we found a new contender for our favorite, and its name is Pho Bistro 2! 

They’re located on Kalakaua Avenue (actually more off of Fern Street, more on this later) just Mauka of Kapiolani Blvd.  Here’s how you get there, if you’re headed towards Waikiki on Kalakaua Ave, you’d take a left on Fern Street just before Kapiolani Blvd and then you’ll see Pho Bistro on the left along with a small parking lot next to it.  Parking!!  I love places that have their own parking lot.

 

Here's the front of the restaurant.  Even though their address is 1694-C Kalakaua Avenue, they're actually facing Fern Street.  Their phone number is 808-949-2727.  Their hours are Mon-Sat 10:30am - 9:30pm and Sun 11am-8pm.

A parking lot next to the restaurant!  What luck!!

The inside is a bit darker than I'd prefer but the place is clean and the server is efficient, friendly, and a bit loud as he calls out orders and greets visitors.

The table has the normal condiments you'd expect

Phuong ordered Pho Tai.  I believe the price was around $7.50.  The broth was excellent, the meat was generous, and it was packed with noodles.  I tried a bit of it myself and thought it was nicely layered in flavors and had a depth that few places achieve.

Here's another photo of Phuong's pho.  Isn't it glorious??

I ordered the Vermicelli with Grilled Pork (Bun Thit Nuong).  It was around $8.  This was AWESOME!  The photo speaks for itself.  The grilled pork was full of flavor, the bowl was overflowing, the vegetables along with the sauce were perfect.  Loved it!!
