  Needed a soup fix and Planet Pho in Kailua town soon came to mind.
  
  It's located in a strip mall on Oneawa Street,  opposite Zippy's. Look for FROST frozen yogurt shop. Parking is available but can be tight during peak hours.
  
  The menu is extensive, with my usual preference for bun calling my name.  Finally decided on the special combination of noodle soup #41 with pork, shrimp, and squid.  Having both egg noodle and rice noodle in beef broth really hit the spot!
  
  Service is friendly and prompt.

  I was very happy with my number 52 and honestly I will go back again in a heartbeat and for me it'll be a lot easier because now I know where to park and how to walk over! So what make this place not get five stars based on the food!  the chicken was cooked perfectly. The cold vermicelli noodles were perfect! The meal came  with everything that would typically come in the spring roll.
  
  Including some delicious perfectly cooked spring rolls! delicious!!! This was probably one of the best things I've had since I've been here on the island.
  
  Unfortunately the service was sub par:(   The waitress was nice enough and our food came out in a timely manner. However we were not checked on and our water was never refilled. The restaurant also seemed a bit dark there was a TV that seem to work perfect but was not turned on.
  
  I will be back hopefully they can tighten these things up!

  You won't be disappointed-super good iced coffee, nice and fresh summer rolls. Pho is really good and spring rolls are fresh and hot.  Service is great. Place is pretty clean. Parking is limited.

  I love pho!  Will drive distances/take an hour train ride/ or even walk miles for pho (Vietnamese noodle soup).  
  
  Planet Pho is located in a small plaza a few shops down from Frost.  It's kinda tucked in the corner.  If you're driving by it's easy to miss.  I lived a few blocks away and didn't know this place existed until a few days ago.  Parking is limited.  
  
  I arrived around noon.  One other person dining at the time.  Even with the huge windows it's a little dim.  Clean area.  Not much of a welcome but asked to sit anywhere.
  
  Ordered 1) Spring Rolls appetizers 2) 31 Pho Meat Combo.  Comes with Rare steak, well done flank, brisket, tendon and beef ball.  The Pho arrived first.  I enjoyed the various choices of meat and generous sized portion noodles.  The broth was ok.  Could be stronger.  The spring rolls were delicious.  Comes with lettuce, noodles and a sweet chili sauce.  Didn't like that it arrived when I was almost done with the pho.  
  
  The food was good but other factors left me underwhelmed.  Three stars.

  My first time here; I ordered an iced coffee and the summer rolls with chicken.
  Summer rolls were huge, more like two little burritos. They were stuffed with noodles, a decent amount of grilled chicken, bean sprouts and one huge piece of lettuce paired with fish sauce- wish it came with peanut sauce.
  
  Tasted really bland though, wish it had some pickled veggies, mint and half as much noodles.
  
  The lady wasn't too friendly- ignored another customer that walked in while she took a phone call.
