    Vermicelli grilled pork with egg roll
    Heather T.

    I've been here a few times never disappointed. One of Pho spots my family goes to that's close by. I did wait awhile before I was able to order I waited 10mins. I ordered vermicelli pork with egg roll very satisfying. Service for the food was fast, staff are friendly and helpful.

    Appetizer shrimp & calamari

    Food consistently stays fresh and full of flavor, especially the soup! The chow fun was yummiest of what we ordered. The basil beef could have been better with the garlic noodles being fresher. Service is friendly and efficient. Ambiance is always welcoming!

    Chicken plate

    First time here and not my last! Food was so good. The vibes were a win with our server Destiny, she was such a gem. We don't eat read meat she found a way to accommodate us. She didn't have to. Just go visit check the times before u go.

    If you're craving hot bowl pho or garlic noodles. This is the place to go in Oakley. The service was amazing even even though they were crowded. They got everything that we needed. I tried their chicken pho this time and it was a delicious. Highly recommend this will always be in my spot to go for a Vietnamese food when I'm in Oakley please stop by and help local businesses out.

    My first time here last night by myself. I love the Pho, spring roll, the place and their servers. I met the owner and he said, they have been in there for 3 years. They have one screen TV and you can watch while eating.

    Rare steak pho
    Margie L.

    This place is on the corner of main street in Oakley,we came here and got seated right away,noticeable some staff are smiley while other ones looks like they don't want to be there.Our orders arrived and they're all good,specially the mango smoothie.Pho is generous in servings while shortribs only have two small strips of meat.springrolls are also good and the peanut sauce is not watery.

    Golden Gate Pho absolutely lives at the top of the pho food chain. The broth alone deserves its own fan club--rich, savory, layered with flavor, and clearly made by someone who respects the craft like it's a sacred calling. Every spoonful feels like a warm hug from a Vietnamese grandma you didn't know you had. And let's talk about the *beef ribs*. They're not just good--they're legendary. Golden Gate Pho is the **only** spot in the area serving pho with beef ribs, and honestly, it's a power move. Tender, fall-off-the-bone, beautifully seasoned... the kind of ribs that make you pause mid-bite and question your life choices for not discovering them sooner. Portions? Generous. Service? Friendly. Ambiance? Clean, relaxed, and perfect for slurping without judgment. If you're anywhere near the area and craving pho, do yourself a favor--go to Golden Gate Pho. It's the kind of place that ruins other pho spots for you... in the best possible way.

    Large fried rice with strawberry smoothie

    We are loving this restaurant! Friendly staff, fast service. Very responsive to customer needs (refilling water, etc.). The restaurant is brightly colored and playing nice music. It smells wonderful when you come in! This has quickly become our favorite pho restaurant, and also our favorite soup in the area! The chicken & rice plate is very good. I really like the flavor and lightness of the fried rice here! The strawberry smoothie is tasty and seems made with very fresh ingredients. There are many offerings of pho bowls, in both regular and large sizes. All that we've tried we have liked so far! Very tasty food, nice ambiance in the restaurant- come check it out!

    Rare Steak Pho
    Kyla M.

    Good location with lots of options for parking. The ambience inside is decent, nothing shabby or dirty. I feel like they put effort into their decorations. Not the cheapest pho place in the area, but pretty reliable. I would say it's better than Creasian but not as good of a deal as DaNang. Very realizable middle ground though if you don't want to drive to Antioch, or want better parking. They put a okay amount of green onions, and a wonderful amount of thinly sliced onions inside. The meat quality was also good for the rare steak pho, which is a big factor. The service is decent, but nothing really stands out too much. We didn't feel rushed in our meal though, which I appreciate.

    Papaya salad and salt and pepper tofu
    Ed S.

    If you want a good PHO soup, I highly recommend Golden Gate Pho. We've been coming here ever since we moved to Oakley. The first time we came here, we fell in love with them right away. We tried their combo plate this time with an appetizer of papaya salad and salt and pepper tofu. The service here is excellent. We don't have to wait long for our order to arrive at our table. I also like the attentiveness of the person serving us. Their combo of grilled chicken is generous in size. It came with a few shrimp and an egg roll. You have a choice of their steamed rice, fried rice, or their garlic noodle. I've tried the garlic noodle with their combo and it's good The papaya salad is different. If you want to explore something other than a regular salad, you have to try this or the mango salad. It's a little bit sweet but I like the flavor and the dressing of the salad. The salt and pepper tofu is good. They serve the soft tofu and the salt and pepper have a nice flavor with the tofu. I enjoy dining here at Golden Gate Pho and will be my go-to place whenever I'm craving for PHO and a combo plate

    Chicken bahn mi and egg rolls
    Monica G.

    Solid Vietnamese in Brentwood/Oakley area! Located in a strip mall corner, not fancy but clean, plenty of space and an abundance of parking. The service is fast and polite. Ordered egg rolls and a chicken bahn mi (sandwich). The egg rolls and filling was dense for my liking, but crispy and not too greasy. The bahn mi was flavorful! I would have appreciated more veggies in the sandwich, so ask for more veggies inside!

    Nice deco

It's also in a great location with easy parking, which is always a plus. My husband and I shared a bowl, and since there were certain proteins he could not eat, the staff was kind enough to separate the protein options for us without any issue. Small detail, but it made a big difference. The protein tasted super fresh and the price honestly felt worth it for the quality. They also have a ton of sauce options to choose from. My favorites were the spicy mayo, unagi, and ponzu. The only thing I did not really find appealing was the wasabi since the color looked a little dull compared to what I'm used to. They also offer a first responder discount that comes with a free drink, plus a student/staff discount which I thought was really cool. Overall, great food, awesome customer service, and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to more often

Most importantly, if they can't remember every detail of an order by trying to memorize it, have them write it down!! Period. This is a skill not everyone possesses. We will definitely be back as the food was pretty good. But I hate spending $120 for dinner in basically a sports bar, get mediocre Service and they expect a 20% tip. (Which I still gave) This was just a few of the things we dealt with. It wasn't really crowded so do like other restaurants. Make sure the item is tagged for the right table and anybody can bring it out. It doesn't have to be the server as I know they're attending to other tables.

This Hawaiian French restaurant is something out of LA, San Francisco, or even Honolulu/Waikiki. Such a great brunch spot! The interior decor is like a ruined old-French still quarter building with the visuals of balconies just like Paris. There are even classic vintage French poster prints on the wall with an island touch of plants hanging and the music of Polynesian reggae in the background. The menu is great with lots of items to choose from as well as a wine list. We started with a mimosa carafe with 5 different juice flavors to choose from like mango, strawberry, passionfruit, orange, etc. I ordered their Loco Moco which was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I did love the way they cooked my burger patty (medium), so it had some nice char texture. My friend ordered the garlic shrimp with coconut fried rice. This tasted delicious and very authentic. It was better than some dishes I actually had in Hawaii. The French toast was regular and tasted nothing different than other's I've tried. It was toasted more than the usual to give it some crispy texture in which I loved. Overall, this bistro is phenomenal, and I will definitely take my family here for brunch next time. Their service is quick and very attentive which is important. Even though the place got packed up, the two employees frequently checked on people. I want to try more, and I'll be back soon.
