Mama Pho at Ala Moana

Order of 2 spring rolls

Mama Pho's second location at Ala Moana has been around for some time, but I finally got to dine there with a friend last night.  We were both running late and had trouble finding parking due to the holidays, but we were able to easily get a table once we got there.  Mama Pho is family owned and they serve authentic Vietnamese food using their own family recipes.  

I like the layout of the restaurant. It's spacious, clean and there are both tables and booths available.  The menu has many offerings, but it is not overwhelming and easy to understand.  We started with some drinks and spring rolls.  My friend ordered the Grilled Pork and Spring Roll Vermicelli Bowl and I had the Brisket Pho.  We both enjoyed our meals, especially the spring rolls.  My pho was great and they are very generous with the brisket as I didn't come close to finishing it all.  Next time, I may add extra noodles.

We had a great time and great service and it was nice to find an escape from all the mall craziness during the holidays.
