Pho Maison Aruba: Authentic Vietnamese Pho & Bun Bo Hue

Pho Maison is Aruba’s only true Vietnamese restaurant — a small, family-run spot serving authentic pho, bun bo hue, fresh spring rolls, and Vietnamese coffee at exceptional quality. The owner took a real risk bringing Vietnamese cuisine to an island that didn’t have it; the result is one of Aruba’s best-kept food secrets.

About Pho Maison Aruba

Pho Maison sits along L.G. Smith Boulevard with both indoor and outdoor seating in a clean, casual setting. The owner is often present and happy to talk about the menu — the chả lụa (Vietnamese ham) is even made by his mother since it’s not available on the island. Service is warm and unhurried; this is a destination meal, not a quick stop. Open lunch through dinner.

Signature Dishes & Menu Highlights

Order the pho — clear, properly spiced broth with your choice of meats including beef balls, tripe, and a quail egg garnish. The bun bo hue is the spicy Hue-style noodle soup and equally well-executed. The rice paper rolls are essential as a starter. Vietnamese coffee (cà phê sữa đá) is the right ending.
