Love their grilled fish banh mi sandwiches and Thai iced teas. Always fresh. Love this place.

3-4 stars for the area. I wish their pho had more options that actual pho eaters actually eat. tripe tendon etc 3.5 stars, catering to people who don't know anything about pho. One of the reasons I almost never order from here. read more

We ordered takeout and tried the shredded chicken noodle soup and the pork & shrimp vermicelli. I personally preferred the pork & shrimp vermicelli. It came with grilled shrimp and BBQ pork, and the flavors were bright and refreshing, especially with the hints of lemon grass or mint. I found a lot of people were ordering the chicken noodle soup, so I wanted to give it a try. But it didn't live up to my expectations. The chicken was very dry and tough to chew. While the broth was fragrant, I wouldn't order this dish again. read more

I ordered ahead for a tofu sandwich (banh mi chay). The sandwich was pretty big for price and contained cucumber and jalapenos. I wish the tofu was more flavorful. I feel the strongest flavor was just the spiciness of the jalapeno, everything else was rather mild in flavor unfortunately. My original estimated pickup was 11:35am but they did update the DoorDash order status to ready for pickup at 11:28 so it seems they are probably usually pretty fast with making food. Overall, the sandwich was alright but would not consider it among the top spots to get a vegetarian banh mi. read more

Phosho Dough - Banh mi chay - vegetarian tofu banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

We were looking for a quick bite near a meeting in Oakland and stumbled upon Pho Sho Dough--honestly, the name alone reeled us in! It's a small takeout spot with a few seats, and even though we came close to closing time, the service was super friendly and quick. We ordered the grilled pork banh mi, the lemongrass beef banh mi, and a shrimp spring roll. The shrimp roll was unique--the shrimp was fully cooked and marinated in a flavorful sauce, not your average fresh roll, and it was delicious. Both banh mis were excellent--the bread was perfectly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they were generously packed with savory flavorful meat and plenty of pickled veggies. We brought everything back to San Francisco, and even after the drive, it all still tasted amazing. Definitely a great find--highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

More of a to-go place (unless you want to sit on the curbside patio) is this gem of a Vietnamese place. It's a no frills place for the most basic Vietnamese food - pho, banh mi, and spring rolls/egg rolls. Their egg rolls are one of a kind. They're crunchy, hefty, and generous. We also got their spring roll wrapped egg rolls (aka a typical spring roll with shrimp but imagine the spring roll filled with an egg roll instead of shrimp). We also got the grilled pork vermicelli and it was a generous portion. We will most definitely be back - especially since their service was so fast. We got our food in less than 15 min! You can also call in to shorten the wait time. Easy street parking too! read more

Great sandwiches. Pleasantly surprised every time. Various types, all good. Haven't tried the soups yet but they look great.

Love this place! The staff is always friendly with quick service. The Pho is yummy. So are the spring rolls. If you're looking for something quick and healthy that won't break the bank this is your place. There's no inside seating which works on a nice day. However, to go works well too. read more

Jamie W and I have been enjoying visits to the White Horse Inn on random Saturdays for a while now. We had noticed this corner Vietnamese takeout spot but didn't try it until quite recently when I was having a post-cocktail hankering for pho. Luckily Jamie was starving, too, so we ended up sharing three familiar items and having them at the outdoor table next to the big mural (photo: https://yelp.to/X_xPeJEy5i). We started with the $9.95 Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls, which were generously assembled with lettuce, vermicelli, and plenty of split prawns encased in translucent rice paper accompanied by a sweet peanut dipping sauce (photo: https://yelp.to/_UapbYqWp6). The second item was the $9.95 Grilled Pork Banh Mi which, a soft French roll robustly stuffed with pork, cucumber, shredded carrot and radish, and cilantro (photo: https://yelp.to/xGzS28kOct). That was definitely one of the better banh mis I've had outside of Saigon Sandwich. The $14.95 Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup wasn't technically pho but Hu Tieu Ga Nuong, a South Vietnamese soup with a lighter broth and larger chunks of chicken (photo: https://yelp.to/2ioXM-lGKJ). I don't think I've had this variation before, but it was pretty satisfying. All in all, this was a nice find on Telegraph for hearty Vietnamese eats. FOOD - 4 stars...pretty tasty and quite generous AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...well, it's really a takeout spot SERVICE - 4 stars...quite efficient and friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...solid Vietnamese fare with regional variations from the norm RELATED - Exploring Oakland?

This is the kind of place that makes you wonder how everyone else has been doing it wrong the whole time because everything they make is so good. Have ate here several times and frequent both locations, easily the best most authentic bahn mi in the bay, (yes there's patè). Amazing hospitality and clean establishments. I came in with my partner and the owner came out and gave us some warm lemongrass ginger tea while we wait for our food. Strongly recommend! read more

The banh mi, both the pork and lemongrass beef is just out of this world. They prepare quickly and the food is reasonably priced and delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Awesome food, helpful staff, all around a good experience. The only thing that was not perfect was that the noodles were pretty plain and seemed to be the same in every kind of noodle dish we got. The meats, tofu, broth, etc were all amazing though. read more

Got food poisoning :( I love eating in person at the Berkeley location, but this was my first time getting DoorDash delivery at the oakland location for my fave chicken pho. I ended up getting sick/food poisoning. When I received the order it smelled like the broth had been sitting out for too long or something was just wrong with it. I decided to give the benefit of a doubt, but the more I ate the more suspicious it tasted. Really sad that this happened read more

This place has some bomb eggrolls also the other items are delicious as well like the bahn mis they don't have traditional Vietnamese flavors but overall still good. Service is good no complaints there will go back when i have a craving for egggroooolll egggrollllll eggroowwllughhh read more

It might not be easy to tell from the picture I uploaded, but the sandwiches here are massive! I got mine with lemongrass beef. It was very flavorful, the bread was toasted nicely, and it was so filling I had to wrap up half of it to-go. It's not a huge place, but there are a couple of tables right outside on the side street (which is pretty quiet and peaceful). Service was good -- staff made sure to walk around with water refills. I would definitely come back to try another sandwich and their other items! read more

Absolutely love this place! Food is amazing, staff is super friendly, great for to-go or sitting outside if the weather permits. Most delicious pho broth and bahn mi that are not dry as a bone like many places I won't name. My go to lunch spot! read more

Love the fish spring they are so good and filling I can just have those as a meal !! Will be back soon

Man! We missed our pho spot since moving away from the east bay! These flavors are a mix of new school meets old school! Service makes you feel like you're at your Vietnamese family members house! Super friendly and always has a joke to make you smile :) ! I've tried many things on the Menu at both locations. Our favorite besides the pho with the delicious broth is the chicken vermicelli noodle bowls! They fill that thing to the brim! Right now we're on our vegetarian hype right now so didn't get it w/ chicken this time! But trust! It's fire! If you are in the area and looking for a nice hot bowl of pho or just great food, COME HERE! read more

The way they cook their fish here is Soo good!! I get the fish vermicelli and the fish bahmi with a limeade drink !

This place is great! My wife and i tried this place several years ago and we were unimpressed. I decided to give it another try because there's often a line out in front. I'm so glad I gave it another shot. The (several varieties of) Phó are excellent! The staff are super-friendly and efficient. There's some sidewalk seating at lunch, and there's a great neighborhood vibe. Bring cash and get a 5% discount on the already reasonable price. read more

Pretty solid banh mi. $11 is a bit steep but the sandwich is filling. I also have had their vermicelli bowl and it isn't as good. It just isn't as flavorful and sort of feels like it's thrown together as an afterthought. I would only get the banh mi from here. There isn't much space to sit down, there are a few tables but I always get takeout. Service is fine - sandwich comes out quick. read more

We came back for round two and ordered the fried spring rolls! Honestly probably the best egg rolls I've had in a long time -- the perfect amount of crisp and the flavor was delicious! read more

The fried egg rolls reminds me of the ones on Guam. So on this alone I'm going to give it 5 starts they are huge compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the Bay Area. They were also tasty.

A1 Tip Top really tasty, fast service, both Pho & Banh Mi (that's all I've had yet, but plan to roam through the rest of the menu forthwith. Highly recommend. Sit outside on a sunny day, take away (as I did) or in the 2 chairs in the little venue. Everything fresh, well prepared. Pho divided up between wet, dry & bean threads. Go for it. read more

Always get the pork banh mi here and love it every time. Less wild about the beef version, but it's not bad either. Have also had the pho. Which warms me up right. read more

Love the vibe of this place! You feel the calm, the peace, and the food is all comfort. The pork bahn mi sandwiches are packed with well-seasoned, marinated meat and the fried eggrolls are the longest and crispiest I've ever had! Love their spicy beef soup (bun Bo hue?) for all of its spicy, meaty and hearty goodness. Definitely will be back to try their other soup specials. Adore that this place is family-owned! Shout out to Rich, who has the biggest heart and is so thoughtful when it comes to customer service. read more

Hole in the wall pho shop in Oakland! There is no inside seating here but they did have a few seats outside so don't try to eat here with a big group. We ordered our pho at the table and the pho came out shortly after. On to the food Beef and meatball pho 4/5 This pho was flavorful and had a lot of umami. It was perfectly salted and I loved how soft and tender the beef slices were. It comes with the usual accoutrements. Fried egg rolls 4/5 These egg rolls were huge!!! Came with 4 rolls that are super long. It was tasty. The dip was a little on the sweet side and could've used a spicy kick. I also wish it had lettuce to eat it with. Overall, delicious pho spot with a decent amount of food!! Definitely would come back. read more

I have eaten at Phosho Dough countless times and it's always a solid bet at reasonable prices. I love their take on eggrolls that are huge, crunchy and meaty. Their banh mi's are fresh and bountiful, albeit a bit small. Their vermicilli noodle bowls are flavorful and their pho broth is great. Where I'm not a huge fan: The shredded chicken in their pho always leaves me a bit unimpressed where I actually for the second time don't eat it. It's usually a bit dry and has a weird aftertaste. I usually take my eats to go and it's always prepared super fast. I've seen a few people enjoy the few sidewalk tables. Overall, solid Vietnamese eats in the area at really great prices. read more

AMAZING experience. Phat sandwiches. Service with a smile. The kitchen was backed up, I went at 12pm sharp, but the owner personally made my sandwich and it was ready in seconds. I love the type of service Treated like a regular even though it was only my second visit since it opened a while back. I will keep this in my rotation for wfh lunch options. read more

Phosho Dough - Grilled Pork Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

Great service and food is good! they're quick and attentive. Nice peeps! Love their fried egg rolls and pho

What an awesome Vietnamese spot located on Telegraph and 66th. The hip and creative wall art work both on the inside and exterior of the building. A relaxed atmosphere with outside tables. And the simple yet delicious Vietnamese cuisine they serve make for a good dining experience. The menu is straightforward and it's pay at the counter before dining (which is the only way to do it in Oakland these days). We ended up ordering: Pork vermicelli with egg roll: this was a generous serving size. Lots of tasty morsels of savory pork, noodles & veggies mixed with their fish sauce. You will be satisfied after eating this one entree. Lemongrass beef pho: this was my wife's order and she said it was really good. Once again very generous with the beef and noodles. Pork banh mi with extra meat: this weighed about two pounds. Probably would have been fine with the regular amount of meat but go hard or go home. A solid banh mi. I would prefer if they had daikon and more original ingredients. The banh mi had more carrots than Bugs Bunny, so they get knocked slightly for that. The service was excellent and attentive. I can't wait to come back, Phosho Dough. read more

The pho at Phosho Dough is fantastic. Pho is all about the broth and the broth here has a lot of depth to it and is full of flavor. If you're a fan of spice, definitely pay the extra for spicy sauce -- it will make you sweat. The portion size of the pho here is quite large. Between my wife and I, we shared a single bowl of pho and an order of the spring rolls and we were stuffed. Speaking of which, the spring rolls here are as good -- if not better, than those found at Brodard in SoCal. The fried egg roll inside is such a great crunchy textural element to the spring roll. For $10.25, I would happily order this as my meal. Ordering is done at the counter and seating is outside along the sidewalk. If you're looking for a great bowl of pho without the frills, this is the place to go. read more

Wait Time: No wait for a early Saturday Dinner, food arrived 15 minute after placing order. Unique Factor: 3/5 - Proteins choices are unique to the restaurant, offerings are your standard vermicelli salads, pho and banh mi, overall a derivative of your typical Vietnamese restaurant in the Bay Area. We tried the grilled fish vermicelli bowl and Fresh Sliced Beef & Beef Ball Noodle Soup. Accoutrements and seasoning were modest in quantity and flavor. A great local spot for when the pho cravings are strong. Personal bite: Service: Mostly takeout with a few bistro tables set along the sidewalk. read more
