Huong Nam

Took my sister and brother in law for late lunch. We were all impressed with the quality and presentation of the dishes we ordered. The taste was to die for. The restaurant was very clean and tidy with very nice dishes. The owner was very friendly and hospitable. This will be our go-to restaurant in Lahaina.

If you are craving Vietnamese food while you're in Maui please make a stop here! Located in Lahaina front st this family owned restaurant was so delicious. We wanted a little meal before going to a luau so we ordered their shrimp papaya salad and the bbq pork summer rolls! Not only was the food fresh and flavorful but they totally rocked the presentation which was surprising! We just expected food on a plate but you could tell they arranged it thoughtfully. Indoor and outdoor seating available. They also give you a key to access the clean bathrooms located upstairs! The owner's were super kind and friendly. Best parking can be found for free along the street and just walk into the plaza to find this gem on the bottom floor. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Maui :)

I have been traveling to the hawaiian islands for the past 16 years, and I finally found an authentic vietnamese restaurant!! The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors of all my dishes were very well balanced. 👌 We will return the next time we are in Maui. The owner was very personable and would come out to check on our service and food. It felt more like a fine dining experience than an authentic vietnamese restaurant. Many of the small businesses are suffering in Maui and their neighboring islands and help support local small businesses.

Delicious authentic Vietnamese food. The family has been in Hawaii for 30 years after leaving VN. I’m so glad that we came back to try after we passed by the other day. - Cafe Du Monde & Nguyen Coffee for Cafe Sua Da - Kumquat Lime drink SO REFRESHING - Pho Dac Biet has all delicious and fresh ingredients, nothing over cooked If you’re looking for the perfect hangover cure, this pho will bring you back to life. Cám on nhieu!!! ❤️

Food was OK. We order some soups and the ratio of protein with noodles was a joke. It had around 5 cups of noodles vs 2 spoons of protein. The coffee was a bomb of sugar. You just couldn’t taste the coffee at all. The rolls were fine. And the service was bad. We waited around 45 minutes for food . We looked at the other tables from the restaurants next to this one and looked so much better, plus definitely their service was better than ours.

Delicious food, generous portions, and amazing service!! Coming from Seattle, my husband and I thought we'd be hard-pressed finding authentic pho, but we were not disappointed at all! Everything from the broth, to the meat, to the pho noodles were cooked to perfection. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife who genuinely care about their customers - we will definitely be back before heading home to Seattle!

The pho here is not good. The soup is dark and overspiced which means they’re over-boiling and spoiling the broth. The brisket was sliced with the grain making it tough to chew. I would say this is not similar to a good pho on the continent. However, the bbq pork was good and I would recommend eating that if you must eat Vietnamese food in Lahaina. Service was slow despite it being mid-afternoon and food came with a scowl. If you’re a foodie don’t eat here.

THE BEST Vietnamese food in Maui hands down! It tastes like I'm back in Vietnam. There are some menu items you will not see anywhere else! The owners are also amazing people. Come eat here!

I actually really loved the food here. I ordered the shrimp rolls and the lemon grass chicken bun as well as the kumquat lime juice and loved all of it. The service was great and I enjoyed sitting outdoor. This place is tucked inside a cool little outdoor mall so it was nice having some quiet to enjoy dinner on a Monday night.

My friend and I decided to stay within the vicinity of Lahaina town and Wharf Cinema center. We ended up deciding on Vietnamese for an early dinner before popping a half marathon the next morning. It was fairly convenient for this Vietnamese restaurant to be in the Wharf Cinema center here in Lahaina, Maui. We just basically walked around the corner from the Regency Theaters, more or less. With that said, we arrived here around 4:00pm and we were seated almost immediately. The restaurant itself was small and homely, like many Vietnamese restaurants I've been privileged to frequent. It's clean and quite comfortable. We ended up in the middle of the restaurant near the kitchen. There really wasn't air conditioning that I could have felt here, just an open air-ish one without doors at the entrance. I guess with Maui, it's cool this way. We were seating away from the people, which was nice for social distancing in 2023. I ended up having Pho, of course, with a side dish of summer rolls, with just water to drink. Something simple and familiar for me as I embark on my 50 something lifetime half marathon and the first one of the year the next morning. I basically had the combination Pho. I should have ordered extra noodles or something but it was okay and not overkill, which I tend to do with the extra noodles. The meal was delicious and the summer rolls were on point. It's nice that they make the rolls fresh to order and not made and stuck in the fridge till someone orders them. The service here was casual and friendly. The experience here was about an hour from beginning and ending. The overall experience here at Pho Huong Nam Vietnamese restaurant - Lahaina Maui was as cool and casual as you can get. It's tucked away from the main drag that is Lahaina town and front street, but centralized if you and your party wants Vietnamese fare in West Maui. I did enjoy the broth of the Pho. Wished I had ordered extra vegetables, since they complete the meal. The basil and the beat sprouts are fresh and brought out before the actual Pho. My friend had their Fried rice platter, which looked fairly awesome, but knowing me, had to do the Pho especially when coming to a Vietnamese restaurant. The experience was enjoyable of course. It was a nice place to really unwind before the night ahead. The prices were kind of up there, but what can you expect when you're in the tourist hub of west Maui. It is what it is. If you are in Maui and want something simple and away from the tourist traps, consider coming to Pho Huong Nam Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of Lahaina, Maui. Supporting local small businesses is great also while being budget friendly when everyone else is helping the tourist side of Maui. Not sure if this place has centralized air conditioning, but it was comfortable regardless. Not sure about the WiFi either. Consider coming here for your daily Pho fix or a great lunch or dinner without the crazy tourist experience. Pho Huong Nam Vietnamese restaurant is located in Lahaina Maui. Its address is 658 Front Street. The restaurant itself is tucked away on the 2nd floor next to the Thai restaurant and the Mexican restaurant. They accept major credit cards, as well as cash. As far as parking goes, your best bet would be the free parking lot that's like 2 blocks away. Be forewarned though, that lot is usually popular and can be full at most times of the day. There's also a secondary lot that sometimes has parking but you'd need to pay. Check the rates if you decide to park there. If those fail, do check the nearby residential side streets for opportunities. If nothing else, you can park in the parking garage next to Whalers Village in Kaanapali and bus it down via the Maui Bus. Only $4 round trip, if you want. There's always Uber and Lyft at your disposal too. If you are like me, many routes stop at Lahaina town and at the Wharf Cinema center. Consider the right routes that's right for you. The daily Pho fix is strong and if you were that kind of person and in Maui, I would definitely recommend coming out to Lahaina to get your daily dose of Pho, basil, and bean sprouts. 4.5 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the location, since it was basically a short walk from the regency theaters. Don't need to walk far. 4.5 stars for the food and service. 3.0 stars for the food and 4.5 stars for the ambiance. Support local! B+

Hidden gem on the Front Street Place is clean with outdoor seating upstairs inside a small mall on the strip of Maui The iced cold coffee was very strong not too sweet just perfect for my taste The spicy beef noodle was better than I expected, a lot better than many restaurants in the Bay Area with two poof pig knuckles and hams, The combo beef noodles soup was tasty but the quality of the meat was lacking something. Overall, it is still decent and delicious. Would recommend i.

What the pho?! Where is the best pho on Maui? In my quest to find the best Vietnamese restaurant on the island, I stopped by Pho Huong Nam. What the pho?! Almost $20 for a bowl of pho? It had better be the best bowl I've ever tried or large enough to warrant the price. The broth, a tried and true way to tell if a bowl will be good, was decent. Since it didn't blow me out of the water, I chalked up the price to high rent in Lahaina. What the pho?! Over $20 for fried rice? I've never tried a Vietnamese take on fried rice so I wanted to see if it differed from the fried rice I grew up on. No, gold flakes were not added to my rice. Despite not striking it rich with golden rice, I was pleasantly surprised with the dish! There were crispy rice bits throughout, so I wonder if the chef took the added step of deep frying a rice ball before crumbling it into the rest of the fried rice. I wish this fried rice was cheaper and had other sized offerings. A meal's worth of fried rice is more than plenty! If Pho Huong Nam was in a location with cheaper rent, I'd hope that this dish would be more fairly priced. The current size is a good option for sharing with a larger party. The higher price point for food that costs less elsewhere is why I'll likely not return. If Pho Huong Nam is able to move somewhere where they can lower prices, I'll be back. What the pho?! Where should I visit for my next bowl of pho?

I overindulged in drinks at the old Lahaina luau... so found myself in need of pho the following morning. My husband found this place on Yelp. It is on front street but tucked away. You have to take the stairs up a floor in the wharf cinema center and you will see the restaurant behind rows of patio tables and chairs. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. We opted to sit inside since it was hot that day and we were going to have soup. We ordered the pho tai. They serve the pho in these light metal bowls with ladles as your soup spoon. The broth is a bit bland and not too salty. I do wish it was more savory. They give you a good amount of beef and the beef was tender. Standard bean sprouts, jalapeño peppers, and basil on the side. The staff was attentive and friendly. Overall a good experience - I would recommend this place for a pho craving while in Maui :)

Very authentic pho. Best broth I've had on Maui Must try, you won't be disappointed.

Pho at this restaurant hits the spot when we were done eating fried foods. The service was fast. You can choose to sit outside or inside. The broth hits the spot for me. Definitely felt alive again after the hearty broth.

As good or better than anything you'd get in Little Saigon in LA. Awesome food. Bun Bo Hue

We went here for pho. We actually were trying to go to down the hatch but it was too crowded. We ventured around and came across this place. The staff was nice and quick with service. I did not care for the egg rolls. I like that there was extra garnish added. The pho was good. They have a lot of outdoor seating which is perfect for this time of the year.

I grew up in Southern California, eating pho from Little Saigon / Westminster which is the largest Vietnamese population in the US. Pho is my favorite food (I can and will eat it every day) and have high standards when it comes to Pho. Unfortunately, this place missed all the marks. BROTH: the broth is clear when brought out. You can tell that it is not cooked as many hours or with enough oxtail to create a rich and flavorful broth. We added plenty of hoisin sauce to give the broth more flavor, but the broth is also very salty. NOODLES: noodles are fine, and a large portion is provided MEAT: we had the combination pho. The tendon was too soft, and the brisket was very dry, thick and too chewy PRICES: very steep. A little over $18 per bowl. If you're looking for hot noodle soup, this will hit the spot, but would not vote this as the best pho on the island.

This Vietnamese restaurant is situated in a shopping complex in Maui. Food is ok, service was good but prices were higher than other places in the area.

Really fresh and better than expected Vietnamese food. Definitely pricy but worth it. It's hiding on the second floor behind all the other retardants.

I'm guessing the food here is great for non-vegetarians, because the place is not at all catered for vegetarians- they have very few options. Their Pho is the only decent item. The flavors for fully on point and the pho felt delicate & balanced- not overly salty. On another occasion, they weren't able to make a veggie friend rice because the only vegetable they had on hand is cabbage. The fried rice was still delicious, but I was dissapointed. They share outdoor seating area with Amigos and the Thai place next door, and the whole ambiance in that courtyard is quite lovely. On weekends, they play live music and it's a great place to sit & enjoy :)

Although the restaurant just opened a year ago, but the dishes were yummy. Especially, grill pork, pork chops and fish sauce were yummy. Our kids loved egg rolls as well. These dishes are comparable to yummy dishes in Southern California.

Definitely check this place out! Several other restaurants had long lines and crowds but Pho Huong Nam felt spacious, more calm compared to other busy Lahaina dining options, and staff were very friendly and attentive. Even on a warm day a bowl of pho hits the spot!

IS THE BEST VIET FOOD IN MAUI?! I think so... after having viet food in Boston, nyc and Virginia I would say the BBH here can compare to the ones I've had in Saigon from the little ladies on the side of the road with a cart. The owner was so friendly and telling us about her history with the restaurant. I wish Maui wasn't so far from NYC. I'll be dreaming about the BBH for many years to come. The owner says the broth is made with spices and bones. No extra seasoning powders or bouillon cubes. You can really taste the deeep richness of the broth I barely write any reviews but felt I had to for this place bc the BBH changed my life

food is AMAZing here!!!! The best Veit food I ever had in USA. My GF and I order (1) shrimp papaya salad (2) spicy beef noodle soup (3) combination pho I am totally convinced by other reviews: a hidden gem in a small mall

This place is LEGIT! So glad we found this place. We were craving Pho and found this place on yelp. Beef pho, chicken pho and spicy noodle soup were all so good. It was hard to find, on the second floor, at the back of a plaza next to a Thai restaurant and across the street from the famous Banyan Tree. Owners were so nice and informed us that they just opened. Food and vegetables looked and tasted extremely fresh. Owner offered us some extra Crispy Fried Rice that he made for the other table. That was the BEST thing we ate on our whole trip! Suprising bits of crunch, shrimp, flavorful and DELICIOUS. Probably the best fried rice I have ever had. It was a hit with our kids as well. We will be coming back here before the end of our trip for some more fried rice and pho. We want to try the banh mi sandwiches next time too!

This place wasn't bad considering it's location, which was hidden inside the back of the movie theatre complex off front street. There was a live local Hawaiian singer and outdoor seating available which we were able to sit and order off their menu also. I ordered the BBQ Pork & Spring Roll Cold Vermicelli Salad. It wasn't that bad. It was pretty good actually. I just wished the meat tasted more fresh. I also ordered the 3 colored drink and that wasn't bad either. The ice cubes were a bit bigger than I'd expected usually crushed ice works best for the 3 colored drinks IMO. Only reason I put 4 stars and not 5 was due to the amount of peanuts they put on this dish. It just wasn't expected is all. Otherwise it was delicious.

This place is clean and the food was delicious. I like how big the portions are. My only complaint was with the weird metal ladle like spoons they give you with the pho. It made it hard to eat. But other than that I loved it.

They get 2 stars because the food was good (not great) and the manager lady apologized for the horrible service. From the lack of parking to the fact that this place is tucked away far back of a maze of a larger shopping complex, this place is no good for large groups. It took them 75 minutes to bring our first entree and a whopping 125 minutes to bring out the last one so basically we did not eat together. Plus they brought out the wrongs plates for 3 of the orders, forgot drinks, played dumb when we attempted to wave for help and to top all this off, no air conditioning?? Why would a place that charges $50/person have a couple fans and not air conditioning? This place may be nice if it's just you and your girl and you are not in any hurry, otherwise I advise to stay clear. P.S. We did make a reservation 2 weeks in advance and still had this experience.

The pho was delicious! Coming from Westminster, where there are many Vietnamese people and restaurants, this place stands tall. The waiter/owner is super friendly and makes sure you always have a cup full of water

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I've had lots of pho from all over and this is hands down the best pho I've ever had. Got the rare steak pho as well as the fried spring rolls. Just excellent!!

Great service. Pho had good quality cuts of beef but the broth tasted too salty. It made me very thirsty after eating it.

I love this little restaurant hidden in Wharf Cinema Center. My family and I went to Maui and my children were craving for Pho. We looked on Yelp and seen Pho Huong Nam had 5 star ratings so decided to check it out. We are super picky eaters. Anyhow, upon walking into the restaurant, we weren't greeted right away so we ended up sitting down on an empty table. The restaurant wasn't busy but I believe the staff was busy putting orders together in the kitchen which was why no one came to greet us. I flagged down an employee. They were very nice but busy as they seemed short handed. We ordered the fruit iced tea which was soooo good and refreshing. It was the highlight of the meal. Anyone who eats at the restaurant must try this drink. It is totally worth $6.95. My children ordered pho along with my husband and I ordered their specialty fried rice. Everything was good. Their specialty fried rice was Ahhhmazing. It had bits of crunch in it. I ate the whole plate myself. We also ordered the three color drink which was super ono too. If I visit Maui again, I will definitely be back.

When your craving pho or Vietnamese food in general on the islands you must come here! There food is amazing! I got the vegetarian cold vermicelli with spring rolls usually when I order this I never get the option to get vegetarian Nuoc mam but they offered it here and it's good, I also asked for regular style nuoc mam which had a good spiciness to it. My husband got the spicy beef noodle soup and he was very happy with his order in his words "it was perfectly spiced not too hot that you can't enjoy it". For out drinks we got the mix fresh fruit tea highly recommend you try it. This is place is a hidden gem I will definitely be returning here.

Definitely one of the better pho restaurants but on the pricier side. Bun Bo hui was ok but not the best I've tried. Maybe this is too authentic since the people working there look like the OGs

New owner took over - this couple has had many years of experience running successful restaurants (including in Honolulu), and it shows through the excellent quality of the food. It is authentic and adds to the variety of cuisine available on Maui. Quite frankly this is as good as the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to on the mainland.

Best pho on the island! My search is finally over. I had the rare beef pho and it was delicious. Comes in a metal bowl, great portions, great flavor. Feels clean and fresh. I talked with the owner (who was very friendly) and she said they make the soup fresh from bone stock - never using soup packets. They make their French bread fresh also for their bang mi. And she said she goes to the farmers market in Kahului to get fresh ingredients. Love this place and can't wait to come back soon! Excited to try the banh mi next time.

Not to be confused with the old Pho Saigon 808. Fresh food made with integrity. The Chicken Pho was a 10/10. The bone broth was delicious and it was served in a fancy "tin" bowl to keep your pho warm and delightful. The owners were proud of the food they serve. Highly recommend.

So happy to have a spot to get some good Vietnamese food in Lahaina. Fave pho by far! The owner is super sweet too. Definitely go support this place. The portions are amazing and everything taste so good :)

This place is a GEM!!!! Owner bakes the bread for their banh mi. Pho broth is made by scratch and please do yourself a favor and get the fried rice!!!! We ate our food so fast so we weren't able to take pictures!

Best pho option on Maui. Highly recommend if you're looking for good pho. With such limited options on Maui this is hands down one of the best places.

As a Vietnamese, I would love to support for Viet local businesses when I travel as much as I could. I decided to try Huong Nam, and I ordered a Shrimp Spring Roll (goi cuon tom), a chicken pho, and a crispy fried rice. The server didn't repeat my order, and mistakenly made the Shrimp papaya salad (goi du du tom), didn't apologize, didn't make the Shrimp Spring Roll, and didn't check on us after the foods were served. These are the main reasons for 4 stars instead of 5 The chicken pho and the crispy fried rice are excellent. The foods are not greasy or oily, and the flavors are perfect. The broth is delightful and just hit the spot. I decided to call for another crispy fried rice togo the next day (7/5/22) before I left, unfortunately no one picked up after 5 tries. As a tourist, I would still come back for the foods but I think the services need to be improved if your restaurant want to keep the local customers. Mainly you're in the customer service industry. Not mention if you'd like to get the tips.

Pho actually tasted very good! We were very happy to find food Vietnamese food in Maui and so close to the shops.

Tasty pho and lemongrass chicken. Unfortunately, there were terribly understaffed and the waits were long. Very kind and thoughtful service.

Great authentic Vietnamese food for the island.This is coming from someone who was born in Vietnam.

Came here for lunch while all the other usual tourist spots were quite busy. It was pretty quiet maybe because it's kinda tucked away but had a great bowl of pho and delicious Vietnamese iced coffee. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy Vietnamese food!

Small little gem we found in Lahaina.. great food Friendly owners...highly recommend the pho, beef salad and BBQ pork chop Go try it!!

Their banh cuon appetizer is delicious. The rolls are fresh and the pork fillings taste great. Very authentic too. I'd say they're on par with my mom's version of the banh cuon! I order it for myself as a meal.

Amazing and best authentic Vietnamese food on the island. My wife loves ban coun and pho so this is the one place we can find in beautiful Lahaina! Price is affordable for the delicious food you are getting. Well worth it. Banh Cuon Banh Mi Sandwiches Beef Pho Saigon

We loved the summer rolls and the pho. Was so amazing!! Play love everything!! The service was amazing as well. Everything is fresh to order, I'm here

Oh my god this little gem was my favorite place to eat on the island. The owner was also very nice and was explaining in great detail how she makes her own chilli sauce and the fruit drinks. Highly recommend

VACATIONERS BEWARE!!! Terrible and dishonest. DO NOT EAT HERE, especially if you are vacationing! Service was the worst I've ever had in my entire life and the owner tried to cheat and overcharge me. We wanted to dine-in and the restaurant didn't have a table that seated 6 people so they asked us to sit outside. The only table outside that could fit our group of 6 had a wet chair and wet table. They didn't wipe the table or chair. Ok... we wiped it ourselves. They served ice water and we asked for straws. Took them another 15 min to come take our order, at which time we asked for straws again. Then we waited 47 min (!!!) until our meal came. It was a very long wait and we were all starving by this time. They served the food and took the menus off the table (yes, they left the menu on the table for the 47 minutes we waited for the food.) As they took the menus off the table, they knocked my husband's water right into his lap! These are giant stiff laminated plastic menus. Had they taken the menus after we ordered, or really anytime before the food came, this wouldn't have happened. But they serve all the food on the table and then proceed to remove the giant menus from underneath all the food, knocking water over in the process! The food was served with only 5 sets of utensils so we asked for another set. And of course we asked for straws for the third time. Over 5 min passed before the 6th member of our group got chopsticks so we can start eating. We finally get straws... but only 4 straws! We asked for 2 more straws. This is now our 4th request for straws. I ordered a oxtail pho. It came with 3 pieces of lime wedges that were completely dry, literally not one drop of lime juice came out no matter how hard I squeezed out of all 3 wedges. I wanted to ask for fresh limes but the waitress never came back to our table to check up on us after she brought the final set of utensils. She also never replaced the cup of water she spilled on my husband's lap, nor did she ever come to refill any of our waters during our meal. When we were 90% done with the meal, I was finally able to yell across the outdoor patio to get the waitress' attention to ask for fresh limes. She brings them, and my last 2 bites of pho finally tasted ok with that squeeze of lime juice. And... she never brought the last 2 straws!!! Now... if you think this evening can't get worse, just hold onto your seats! I go to pay my bill and she verbally tells me the total and tries to take my credit card. I asked her for a printed bill so I can see the breakdown, and she tells me "NO". I said why not? She said she can't give me the breakdown until I've already paid. The breakdown is a receipt and she can't give me a receipt until I've already paid. I said that I not paying until I see what I owe in writing. She again told me she's not printing anything out for me until I pay first. I looked around and saw other itemized bills on her counter that she got ready for other customers. I asked how come she prints this out for other customers but not me? She said no print out unless I pay. I told her I'm not paying. Then she sighs heavily and rolls her eyes and proceeds to give me an itemized print out. Now here's the good part -- waitress hands me the itemized bill and with a condenscending voice, says "look look this is your bill. See this? Item #18 is what your daughter ordered. Pay right now pay." She was trying to distract and rush me. It's true, my daughter did order #18 on the menu, but as I carefully looked at the whole bill, I discovered that IT WASN'T MY BILL!!! There were many other dishes on it that I didn't order. I told the waitress that this wasn't my bill as there were many dishes on there I didn't order. Waitress looked like she was caught red-handed and then immediately printed another itemized receipt that was my actual bill. And surprise surprise, my bill was MUCH lower than the bill and amount she tried to charge me. I think she didn't feel the need to give any service at all because we won't be repeat customers as we are just vacationers. And as such, she could be dishonest and overcharge hoping I don't pay too much attention to the bill. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS. SHITTY SERVICE AND DISHONEST. I would give NEGATIVE stars if that were an option!

Great spot! Would eat here again for sure. I had the BBQ Pork cold vermicelli bowl and my wife had the bbq chicken and rice plate. Both were delicious and came out of the kitchen quickly. The staff was friendly. It's very casual but the food was good. Typical vibe for a Vietnamese spot.

This is a gem of Maui! Amazing Pho, the broth is savory but not too salty. The owners take pride in what they are serving. Great service and food. Would come back!

We just popped in for some snacks, but everything we ordered was very well made & tasty. Service was pleasant & very fast. Recommendations: green papaya salad, chicken wings, chicken banh mi, kumquat lime juice. All were excellent!

Finally we have found wonderful Pho on Maui! Absolutely delicious food in a lovely little restaurant offering both indoor and outdoor seating. We had the Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Chicken Pho, and Vietnamese iced coffee- all excellent. The service was also wonderful. Will be making this a regular dining spot.

We saw this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. We were blown away by the taste of the food and everything was flavorful and delicious. Recommend all my pho lovers to come try the pho here, especially the rare beef and chicken pho! But if you're looking to drink here as well, you're going to have to go the bar that's right outside the restaurant.
