As always, food looked really ono. But special thanks to Felix, for mentioning that Tiny Pyramid was the same owners from Kaimuki. Went there around 20 years ago. My wife was so disappointed that it was closed. She got really excited when I showed your video to her. When we do get back, we will be stopping there. Man, you two keep adding to the list of places to go. Mahalo again!
Yes!! We’re so glad they opened up on Nimitz! Hope you guys can check it out next time you’re here! Mahalo for watching and supporting🤙🏻
We're going to try out Pho Huong Lan this Saturday - Mahalo in advance on all of the tips! 🏝
Thank you for this one especially! Loved every segment! I used to play at Booth Park, as a kid.
After watching this episode, here we are having Pho. The soup is really out of this world, the real deal!
I don't care much for Pho but gimme that duck! And Felix...just marry that woman already!!!! God Bless and Mahalo y'all!
That duck was ono🤤🤤🤤 mahalo for the aloha Robert Leslie!🤙🏻
I finally figured out how Vonn is related to us. Took me a minute 😁😁😁
Shout out from a fellow nammer from Canada! Love your vids guys, wish I had all this info when we visited 5yrs ago. Will be back when pandemic gets better. Keep up the great work!
Mahalo for watching and supporting a fellow Vietnamese brother!🤙🏻aloha!
Huge fan of bean sprouts. I have them add it to my fried rice and all noodle dishes.!!!😊
Felix & Amanda, you guys are doing an awesome job. I love the fact that you both came up with a creative "project" in the middle of the pandemic. Thanks for showcasing local businesses. When are you two (or three) going to cover Uncle Bo's? That's my absolute favorite on Oahu.
Hey I love this place too lol! I thought I was a pretty seasoned veteran when it comes to pho, but you have managed to show me something I’ve never known about. The beef oil with scallions on the side is ingenious. And although I don’t usually get beef on the side, splashing some lemon on the beef makes sense, adds flavor and the citric acid should help tenderize the meat. Awesome video, very informative!
We're glad even seasoned veterans could take away from our video! Mahalo for your support🤙🏼
The chocolate pyramid is fantastic. Felix, thank you for supporting my company, Omega.
Omega gang! 🤙
12K WOOOHOOOO!!!! 😁🤙🏽. Another great episode Amanda & Felix & Yvoone! 😁👏👏👏🤙🏽

Hope you enjoy the food while you’re here!Mahalo for watching and supporting🤙🏻
Felix's Vietnamese sounds like his family is from the south. Dac Biet actually translates to "Special". As a person that has worked at a pho spot and have been behind the scenes of many most pho places outside of Asia just use the Lao Gan Ma crispy garlic chili oil because it is more cost effective than making your own so if this place does make their own then its certainly a special treat. On the mainland we use lime instead of lemon which I prefer more but pho like Felix said is certainly a dish that you should "season" to your own liking. There is no one right way or wrong way to have pho. Its to your preference. Side note: Pho To Chau is actually a bit of a popular name for pho restaurants they should still have nouc beo as a side option if Vietnamese ran.
Another side note: if any of those viet places there have banh xeo or bo la lot you should for sure do a review. Most people only think of pho for viet food but theres so much more. I also think a bo la lot pipikaula style would be super fire and would be a great hawaii/viet fusion. Hook it up with the culture! Great vids btw!
Yes! Felix’s mom is from the south! They use lime here too, it just depends on the day sometimes there’s lime sometimes there lemon😆 we love banh xeo but nothings been better than Vietnam so far😅 Felix likes the bo la lot but not me... we hope we can go back to Vietnam soon! Mahalo for watching and supporting🤙🏻
36:11 Thank you for risking your lives for our entertainment lol :0 Also good to see a legit pho place.
We do it for our Foodie fam! 😬 yes to legit pho 🤤
Love pho and love duck as well. Those desserts look so tasty
Was a tasty food adventure! Mahalo for watching and supporting🤙🏻
👍👍👍👍Keep them coming! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Mahalo for the support!🤙🏼 We definitely will! Aloha!
Have a wonderful weekend too, keep comfortable,:):)
I’ve noticed Yvonne’s Little Twin Stars Tote bag on a couple of vlogs now. I love it! 🤙🏽
Great video!!! I would love to video of mom making her spring rolls!!!!
So good
U know I’m Vietnamese and I like pho n cha gio !!!! Eat every week!!!
Our favorites!
Me n family be there on July 1!!!
15 days in Honolulu!!
We can’t wait !!!!
Hey you two
I truly appreciate your feedback after writing to you guys. That I feel will get pretty much harder as your show increases with upcoming fan. No Doubt you will be big. And I cannot be happier for your journey. I recently heard that your purchasing a house. I’d love for you to share with us your cooking skills with the specialties you have. No need go out all the time. Get comfortable at home so you can work at home too.
Love you
Colleen and Topper
(Again lol)
Mahalo Colleen and Topper! We definitely wanna show more home stuff once we've moved and settled in! Mahalo for the support!🤙🏼
Really enjoyed this Pho episode. Brought back pleasant memories as Pho Huong Lan is one of my favourites when I was a student in Honolulu over 25 years ago. Glad that it is yours too. The restaurant premises have not changed much except that it looks brighter now. Saw that they serve iced Vietnamese coffee in takeaway cups now instead of the stainless steel coffee filters to drip the coffee over the cup. Remember their coffee to be heavenly too. Great effort folks. Look forward to your next food adventure. Mahalo nui loa! 🤙🏼
We had no idea they’ve been there that long! Wow🥳 Yeah they used to serve the coffee in the metal strainer but maybe cuz of COVID they put it cups now😆 Mahalo for watching🤙🏻
I used to go to JJ's Bistro in
Kaimuki just for their desserts & decided to have lunch too. I liked their chicken pot pie. Sadly they closed. Since then, they opened Tiny Pyramid & I love their chocolate lilikoi mousse.
Need to try the pho & char siu place the next time I'm in town. Thanks for the recommendations!
JJ bistros chocolate pyramid is so iconic in kaimuki! We’re so glad they reopened on Nimitz! Definitely try the pho and Chinese bbq!🤤mahalo for watching🤙🏻
Thank you so much for showing how to eat pho... We always eat pho but we was doing it all wrong... lol... glad u folks posted this video... we ate pho again and it was way better and more delicious knowing how to eat it lol... keep up the videos... 🤙🤙
Love Pho! I've got too many places on my list for my next trip 🙂
I buy a scoop of rice to add to my left over soup eat it at home sooo Delicious!!!! Friendly, fAST SERVICE , CLEAN !!! Tiny Pyramid has such Pretty, ono, deserts!!! I go by Nimitz Hwy easier access !!! STAFF IS very friendly TOo !!!
Wow…. Haven’t been to that pho place in such a long time! And had no idea you could get that rendered fat! Wow! Been hearing a lot about Sandy’s, but haven’t had a chance to go yet. The term you are looking for is the bark, the flavored, charred and carmelized section. Loved JJ’s when he was on Waialae. Was so happy that he was able to land a spot at the design center on Nimitz. Can’t ever go wrong with his desserts….
Haha, I love the title so much😂
Mahalo for watching and supporting🤙🏻
Great video. Felt like I was there with you. I miss Hawaii !
Best episode yet :)
5:46 Lol
I love this place, went there last week. 💣
😅
Great vid! Booth Park is in my hood!
great episode choice - love pho !!
You guys are making me crave pho now, there’s some good pho spots in Hilo when you guys come: Lam’s Garden, New Saigon, and Hilo Rice Noodle 😋
I had no idea there were vietnamese places in hilo! Nice! Mahalo for the support!🤙🏼
@@AmandaFelixEats Yeah, ya never know until you live at a place for awhile. I’m actually from Kauai, now living on BI! Anyways, can’t wait for the the day you guys come here! Much love!
I appreciate you telling us how much each place cost. It helps me make y decision on where to go. Mahalo I really enjoy your show.
Mahalo for watching and supporting! 🤙
I like pho !!
Anytime I eat !!!
I love Booth Park. It's near my grandmother's house. It's very near to China town. You could have walked there.
Next pho pho feast im coming 😊
Yay! Hope you enjoy🤤 Mahalo for watching and supporting!🤙🏼
Haha was looking forward to hear Felix's Vietnamese. QUESTION: what is the pho like in Vietnam compared to Hawaii? I hear that Pho in Vietnam is actually not as savory as compared to the US taste buds.
Yes and no... for the most part pho in Vietnam is seen as a cheap food. However, modern times has changed that and they actually make awesome pho now! One of the best pho we've had in Vietnam was a restaurant off the side of a country side road. I'd say the pho here in Hawaii tastes more beefy, but the ones in Vietnam are more fragrant! 🤙
@@AmandaFelixEats
I agree !
I read somewhere that there are basically 3 styles of pho in Vietnam. There's Southern, Northern and Central styles.
I'm here right now at Pho Huang Lan on Sat in the afternoon and it's packed!
Aloha Amanda & Felix (and Yvonne). Would love to see a video/vlog on Felix's Mom making Vietnamese food. I've tried Vietnamese food a few times but never Pho (usually the cold spring rolls in rice paper but without the pork only shrimp). I've had a chicken broth w/noodles (no beef) but don't remember if that was considered pho since that's beef. That's pretty much my extent of Vietnamese food. Would like to try other things that aren't beef or pork, will definitely have to give it another try down the road. Mahalo for another great vlog, TGIF!
Hey Paula! 👋 if only Felix's mom wasn't so camera shy 😳 maybe one day haha. Some places make vegetarian or chicken pho too! Fun fact: original pho is mostly comprised of just vegetables! It was considered commoners food so they used left over beef bones for flavor and ate it with noodles and veges! And yes, TGIF! Have a good weekend Paula! 🤙
Felix: loving the Seamaster!
Mahalo Steven! 🤙
One of my new favorite sandwiches is the Bánh mì!! And I found a place close here in San Diego that offers it with a small side of Phó broth (and all the add ins) just no meet or noodles
😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
For anyone in San Diego, it's the Shank & Bône on 30th and University (NW corner ish) North Park I believe
Thats awesome! We love banh mis! Mahalo for watching and supporting!
Man guys that food looks delish thanks guys great too see you all
Mahalo for stopping by Elliot! 🤙
My favorite Pho place too😀🤙🏼❤️
Awesome! Love this place🤤 Mahalo for watching and supporting!🤙🏼
Awesome video! Thanks for the pho pro-tips. Always want to know what are the proper ways to eat pho. Loving see Yvonne. And yes I would like to see more char-sui and roast duck and Chinatown eats videos.
A Chinatown food tour is in the works!
i LOVE that pho place!!
All the Vietnamese people we know go here too!😋 yay!
Oh my gosh it all looked delicious guys. It’s right up my Pho-king alley! 😉🍜🤙
😂🤙
13:05 lol.
Great video
Lol 😂 Mahalo for watching and supporting🤙🏻
🌺🌺🌺🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🌺🌺🌺. Oooohhhh soooo Onooooo😋😋😋. Yes. Waze is a good navigator. 👍🏼
Love this hole in the wall place, it's just the perfect eatery when your in the mood for Pho. Note: I'm no Pho or Vietnamese foodie expert, I've maybe dined at four maybe five places, I love this place. I'm trying to determine the kinds of flavors and variety to select from, I love the basil and parsley flavors, I'm still learning. As usual Mahalo's for your excellent informative post.
As long as you have a favorite pho place as a baseline to what you like, there's no right or wrong 😬 Mahalo for always supporting! 🤙
Mouth watering Roast Duck! Geeeeezzzzz not fair!
Was Ono! 🤙
Oxtail Pgo is my favorite but I like rare steak also. I do love duck & roast pork ( which I learned to make in my air fryer roadr pork)
Sorry I do make Char sui sing Mikey Chen’ s recipe!
That sounds amazing! When we get an air fryer we're gonna have to try making it! Mahalo for the support!🤙🏼
The restaurant is Phở Huong Lan on Maunakea, dunno it. Felix must be Viet descent, figures. “Em đệp lắm”, Amanda. I learnt for eat Pho from my VC friends, Khuyen n Ba. When we go beach at Ala Moana, they bbq up da best lemon grass beef. There’s a dish at Cultural Plaza, u recommended when u were flipping the menu, I thot I saw a picture, something called called Bot Chien which is a fried daikon cake which is to die for. That dish comes from Teochew Viet’s originally from Shantou PRC. We are leaving for Cali on Monday n we’ll hv our fill of pho, bo luc lac (shaking beef), also to die for n bot Chien. These are also better than orgasmic heavens.
Learned new tips with the lemon on the raw beef…I’m gonna try that! ✊🏻 I usually order a side of tendons for me…just love the gelatinous texture👌🏼 Oh and btw I love when the restaurant provides mint for the cha gio…it’s a deal breaker for me haha✌🏻🤣
I spy my aunty's hale in the background haha
Hi ! Thanks for another great video ! We haven’t tried Vietnamese food yet in our little town there is a new Vietnamese restaurant we will try it soon ! Sandys duck looked great. Have a wonderful week ! Eileen and John
Yes! Definitely try Vietnamese food if you can! And Sandy's is worth trying! Mahalo for always supporting us! 🙏🤙
That's da place, mahalo for taking me a long. YESSAH! Booth Park Action. I Stay hungry.
Mahalo for watching my braddah! 🤙
Yo dats was up showing love from da island Guam 🇬🇺 we need real pho here on Guam..
Try Dem Mata’s Aloha Plate (Lau Lau and Smoked Pork) at the Aloha Swap Meet, unexpected top food we had while in Oahu
I thought that was you folks sitting at the table. I was going across the filed though n barely saw past the pool area lol
You saw us!! lol🤙🏼 Mahalo for watching and supporting!
I'm coming back for the duck!!!! September for my birthday!!! Its going down!!!!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Gotta get that duck!
My go to pho restaurant is Pho Tri on Kalakaua Ave they also make their own garlic chili sauce....ono! Parking in building too.
We like to eat at Pho Thinh in Moiliili, Pho Bistro 2 near the convention center or Saigon Noodle House in Kaneohe
That's awesome! We've been to some of those before! Mahalo for watching and supporting!
Love Pho Love Pho thanks gang for showing us a very good place and been to sandy’s yes very good duck must try the pyramid “MAHALO”
Have you guys been to Wolfgang steakhouse? If so what do you recommend eating there? If not, what steakhouse do you guys prefer?
You can tell Felix knows what he is talking about. "Pho Master!!" lol I didn't know about that fatty broth until now. And Man!!!!! you guys are gettin' recognized everywhere you go! #famous.
and damn Felix... ubiquitous!!!! I haven't heard that word in like ages. #flexin' lol
Mahalo for the aloha and support!🤙🏼 Hope you get to try the fatty broth next time!
Love me some Vietnamese food, but I'm not a PHO guy. I will eat it but I prefer that Charsui and Duck plate. That's my jam. I live in Wailuku Maui so Saigon Cafe and Bale's are just down the road. Bale's is one of my go to places. Mahalo and Aloha.
Can't go wrong with Chinese BBQ!
Hey, guys! Ever since I moved from Kalihi to Kaimuki, I've had trouble finding Filipino restaurants in the area. It would be nice if I didn't have to drive to at least Kakaako or Chinatown just to get Filipino food. Do you guys know of any Filipino restaurants between Makiki and Hawaii Kai?
Tbh we're not very familiar with Filipino food. A lot of Felix's co workers whom are Filipino all tell him the best cooking is their own family recipes.. so it's hard for us to find a place ourselves. If we do find one we'll definitely let you know! 🤙
well, not a restaurant, but a convenience store in Kaimuki...Ft Ruger Market on Alohea Ave...Yelp reviews show they have lechon, pork adobo plates and some sides like mongo beans (likely with something besides just the mongo beans)...
You two make such a wonderful couple. Your chemistry is clear onscreen. Keep up the food work!
Right by my lobster roll place ya...
@@hawaiiguy1 Thanks for the info- I'll check them out!
Great pro tips on enjoying pho. I'm full just watching this vlog. Tanks guys!
mahalo for watching and supporting🤙🏻
Check out Hale Vietnam for pho and imperial rolls! Omg it might be your new fave pho place! 😀
It’s on 12th Avenue btw
Don’t forget to order the vinagar red onion on the side
Thanks for letting me know this Pho's place. Will try when I come to your area. Look like you can speak little Viet's.
It is worth trying! 🤙
Sweet, long vid!!
Enjoy the show! 🤙
Hi guys! A Chinatown tour would be awesome! I'm staying there in September
In the works!
@@AmandaFelixEats Sweeeeet! I can't wait to add more places from your beautiful Island to my map! (You should see all the flags) I don't want to be without good food 😆
And my go to places for Char siu is Char Siu House on Maunakea St and Roast Duck Kitchen is Aiea. Both of these places run out fast.
Pho is my comfort food but if the weather is too hot then i go for the Vermicelli
Same! 🤤
Huong Lan is good. I also like the place across Legends: Pho 88. Pho is excellent and they give a LOT for your $$$. Another great place along River Street is Cuu Long II. ToChau is admittedly good, but the portion size is super tiny, so we rarely go there. Not sure why there is always a line. Food good; value not good.
So true! Too bad the prices here can't mimic vietnam prices😆 Mahalo for watching!🤙🏼
