    Grilled Pork
    Chad M.

    I do not like pho. I tried what I was told was the best pho in Oakland. Staff was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The grilled pork was fantastic! I wish I had gotten the grilled pork with rice.

    Great food, [[HIGHLIGHT]]clean place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the staff friendly, i love the staff in here! I come here to eat every week sometimes even twice a week.

    12/10. Pho never fails to make me happy, but this place was especially impressive. What stood out to me was that the noodles were SLIGHTLY chewier than normal, which elevated textural contrast. Of course, the broth was the star of the show, which we were able to smell before we even entered the restaurant. My boyfriend, who is a San Jose native (aka pho expert), also approved. Meat quality could have been a little better, but this is only if I HAD to nitpick at something.

    A3. Ground Pork Roll - Nem Cuon , A1. Spring Roll - Goi Cuon
    Cynthia P.

    We were craving some spring rolls and decided to try this restaurant out. We ordered through the phone for pick up. There is a parking lot. We got the shrimp spring roll and the nem ones. They were pretty decent for their price. I really liked their peanut sauce that they have on the side for you to dip. We also got the wings. These were delicious! Very crispy if you eat it fresh.

    The broth is sooo good- on the sweeter side which is a plus for me! Generous portion sizing for a regular. They also had the nem nuong spring rolls- delicious! Parking - small lot and free street parking! [[HIGHLIGHT]]No frills, simple pho restaurant with family working there- love to see it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly service too!

    Got the Bun Bo Hue here and was disappointed as an avid BBH enjoyer. It tasted a bit bland (like maybe it wasn't brewed long enough?) and it lacked spice. When I ordered, they had messed up my order and gave me pho instead of Bun Bo Hue. I should've just eaten the pho instead of asking the server what happened to my order. The thai tea was delicious though!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Family-run spot with that cozy, authentic vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pho is flavorful and comforting, hitting all the right notes for a classic bowl. But honestly, I'm obsessed with the taro smoothie--it's the real standout here and worth a visit all on its own.

    3/11/25 FYI. #49 Com Suon, Bi, Cha. Grilled pork chop, shredded pork, egg cake over rice.
    Lee D.

    3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. Quality/Quantity - Today I got: #49 Com Suon, Bi, Cha. Grilled Pork Chop, Shredded Pork, Egg Cake Over Rice - The pork chop was overcooked/dry. The shredded pork was the hit of the dish. And love that "broken" rice. Well, I did crave rice today. Next time I will get pho, as that is in the name of the business. Decent size menu, with decent options. See pictures. Atmosphere - Small local business. Mostly indoor seating and 3 small tables outdoors. Small private parking lot, important in this neighborhood. That alone might justify eating here, lol. Open 6 days a week from 9:30am to 8pm, closed Wednesdays. One clean unisex restroom. Service - I was greeted when I walked in, they took my order and I never saw them again?!?! Plenty of "family" employees, I counted 6-7 people. They outnumbered us customers. I asked for more fish sauce from the "bus boy" but he did not understand me. Finally one of the other 6 people overheard and came to help me. The busboy was the hardest worker. In summary, you get what you ask for, you just have to go out of your way to ask. Must pay upfront (counter service). Price - $16 + generous tip, reasonably priced for what I got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018. If your service improved, I can see how and why you have good ratings.

    3. Rare Steak Pho - Pho Tai
    Jacie N.

    Pho was good, rice plate was also delicious. Authentic flavors and taste. The nuoc mam was good (read: savory, not sweet) which can really make or break a meal. The tai in the pho was slightly overdone so it was a bit tough. The Vietnamese coffee was delicious! Staff was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The general vibe of the restaurant is pretty typical of many Vietnamese mom and pops (no frills, cleaner than many actually).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 4% surcharge for credit cards. There is a parking lot.

    A5. Egg Roll - Cha Gio
    Francina L.

    Third time coming here and it's always as delicious as the first. They have a small parking lot and we went around 4pm so it was relatively empty. We ordered two phos and 1 order of egg rolls. I really appreciate that you are able to get whatever kind of meat they offer in your pho cause they offer all variations. Everything came out super hot, fresh and flavorful. Their pho broth is above the rest! Their space is quite clean and they are speedy with their service.

    Veggie Pho
    Holly S.

    Both rolls I tried (mixed veggie and tofu) were warm. I was surprised, but pleasantly surprised because I like hot food vs. cold. So both rolls were a nice change from the traditional chilled version. I wish they had a vegan fish sauce instead of only sweet chili sauce for the rolls, but not a deal breaker. The veggie pho broth was hearty and made my tummy smile. It was so good, I couldn't stop eating it. Private parking lot make dining here convenient. The staff members were really nice and attentive. Prices very reasonable. I'd go out of my way to dine here again.

    #66 Com Thit Nuong, Bi, Cha, Opla
    Aerielle S.

    Me and my boyfriends new go to!! There's a small parking lot in the back. We came here around 6pm and there was a good amount of people inside. It was clean inside which I enjoyed. We sat and ordered chicken wings, a rice plate and pho. The chicken wings were really solid -- crispy, hot, flavorful! Really enjoyed this dish. The rice plate was also super flavorful. The sunny side up egg had crispy edges but was a little too salty. Everything else was seasoned perfectly and each bite was delicious. The meat was tender, the pork skin was savory and the egg cake was spongy and good. The pho was solid!! The broth was umami, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was meaty. Everything was delicious and had perfect flavor harmony. Overall such a good place, good portions and good prices. Highly recommend!

    Special Combo - Pho Dac Biet
    Alice H.

    I tried their Mango Salad and highly recommend it to open up your appetite and start your meal! I had their Special Combo - Pho Dac Biet, which includes rare steak, well-done flank, brisket, tendon, tripe, and meatball noodle soup. The broth has a unique taste, leaning towards the sweeter side compared to other pho I've had before. It's definitely worth a try! The portion is huge, and the price is really decent and affordable. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant available for customers!

This is already on my top five list in a single visit. Went for the basics: beef pho, and salad roll with tofu. I was initially put off by the short menu and few options to add toppings (I didn't see any tendon or tripe for example), and worried it would be too bland or too sweet--but it was not. The broth was deeply flavorful and more savory. Meats were generous and meatballs were exceptional, maybe the best I've had. The basil and sprouts were garden fresh, and unusually, the rice noodles were exceptional, not at all soft or pressed together. I could genuinely taste the love here. It extended to the salad rolls which were generously portioned and used lightly fried tofu which I prefer. One additional note about the broth. It's a richer style than I normally like so I couldn't drink it to the last drop, but I can't fault its great flavor. The service was above average, with a spirited vibe. Loved everything, will be back to try more on the menu.

I brought my friend for her to try a new viet spot since she typically only goes to one spot and she absolutely loved it! Our favorite was the Banh Khot which are mini crispy pancakes with shrimp.

We ordered the tofu bahn mi, tofu, veggies and mushroom vermicelli and Vietnamese pancake with shrimp. They were all amazing.

My fiancé had the vermicelli bowl which he said was pretty good with all the stirred fried tofu, veggies and mushrooms. What was surprising the most was the Vietnamese pancake. It was so good that I would come back for just this appetizer. It has a crunchy texture on the outside, but the inside was so creamy. Wrap that with a lettuce and dip in the fish sauce and wow! My mouth was happy. Service here is top notch! The server was super attentive and he knew just when we needed more napkins and more water. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon for those pancake!

Yes, I tried it over a dozen years ago and have little recollection of my dining experience (review: https://yelp.to/8rBLt3xnAB). Probably just as well because this was our first time at this location. We came on a Saturday afternoon looking for a late lunch. It was a nice space with interesting decorating touches like a collage of vintage photos and magazine clippings in a ribbon-like pattern on the gray wall (Photo 6). The place was almost empty, which allowed us to take the corner table next to the window. The menu looked like a slightly upmarket take on Vietnamese fare. We decided to share a couple of dishes since we had tentative dinner plans later. We ordered the $17 Shrimp Papaya Salad, a decent enough mix of green papaya and carrots in decorative latticed slices, crispy allium, herbs, and six poached shrimp, drenched in a spicy fish sauce vinaigrette and topped with peanuts and Thai basil (Photo 9). Tasty but a bit bland and wet. We then shared the $25 Fried Chicken characterized as chicken tempura, but the execution was lacking. It consisted of slices of thigh meat covered in a rather moist coating. There was fermented soy aioli and a side of pickled daikon, carrot and cabbage slaw in miso soy dressing (Photo 10). Even though the thigh meat was welcome, the dish didn't quite hang together. At the same time, the ingredients were fresh, and frankly other menu options might've improved our satisfaction.
