  Pho To Chau was among the first Vietnamese restaurants in Hawaii and is still one of the most authentic and affordable. It's family run and once you've ordered, the eldest sister will remember your order,... forever. The broth is hearty and aromatic. The noodles are cooked to perfection and meats/vegetables are plentiful. You will always leave satisfied and your meal will hold you through the day. There are fancier Vietnamese fusion restaurants, but you will not find a more finer slice of Vietnam on the edge of Honolulu's Chinatown. Braddah,..chance 'em!

  Our first visit to Phở Tô Châu started horribly when we were rudely instructed by the waitress (an older lady) to wait back outside, after we had entered the restaurant to ask for a table (we swear we couldn’t see any signs to line up outside). Never mind, we heard good things about the phở and were willing to wait patiently and give this place a chance. When we were finally seated, it took over 20 minutes to get a hold of the right person (another old lady) to place our orders. We couldn’t just order with the same lady who showed us to our table and brought us ice water to drink? Apparently, they have created their own rules in this restaurant - one lady clears the table and seats the guests and another (the owner) who takes the orders and accepts payments (cash only)... and you’re supposed to feel grateful that you’re allowed to be in their restaurant, getting served by them, and being able to consume their famous beef noodle soup?! In the end, we did enjoy the phở that was served to us very much because it was tasty and authentic. However, the terrible service left a bad taste in our mouths. Additional note: Saw some other guests walk in, told to go back outside (by the same old lady) and wait there, and then promptly left angrily. Advice: Make sure you’re familiar and versed in their rules before visiting this place! LOL
