Great place for pho. Currently everything is just take out (no dine-in). Located next to the White Horse Inn, look for the rainbow side walks. I found street parking, no problem. Pros: -loved their fried egg roll and iced coffee -the pho was really hearty and came with lots of meat Cons: -n/a read more

The spring rolls and sandwiches are my go-to here. Always fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a quick bite. Such a great spot to have in the neighborhood for an easy, delicious lunch! read more

The pho from Phosho Dough is absolutely delicious and the perfect size for lunch with some leftovers too! We ordered to-go for lunch and tried the lemongrass beef pho and the pho with sliced beef and both were so good. We definitely liked the lemongrass beef better though as it was much more flavorful. I would recommend trying out the pho here! We will be back to try the banh mi next. read more

Phosho Dough - Lemongrass Beef Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

Great Banh Mi of all kinds especially fish. Packed to the brim with flavorful goodness.

Total hole in the wall...in all the best ways. The service was pleasant and quick. The food was beyond bomb. I got the chicken banh mi and my gf got the shrimp and chicken pho with extra veggies. It was reasonably priced considering it's the Bay Area. If I return I would definitely try the pho. read more

First time here after hearing about it through a friend and it did not disappoint. Being that my partner and I are vegan, we had the veggie noodle soup. The fried shallots on top were such a great addition to the very fresh broth. I usually don't see that with much Pho, so that was a great surprise. The veggies in the soup also had the right amount of softness, with the perfect crunchiness. Also paired with the Fresh Young Coconut, which had so much juice and was served in a coconut (even better). I was bummed that I had finished my meal so fast... Thank you Mahi and the rest of the staff for the great service and hospitality. We are excited to return soon! read more

We ordered the spring rolls and a grilled pork Bahn Mi. Super fresh and delicious. Unfortunately there was a hair in our spring roll and there was no indoor dining. It was cold out and we would have loved to have ordered pho but hard to eat it in the car. read more

I was at work and ordered for pickup. They made my food pretty quick. - Fried Egg Rolls Wrapped in Spring Roll: this was actually really good! I loved the crunch from the fried egg rolls. I've never seen this elsewhere. My coworker liked this roll better than the grilled pork spring rolls. - Grilled Pork Vermicelli: this was not bad. The portion size was big! They gave a lot of pork, but the pork was kind of dry and tasted really smokey, which I didn't like. - Thai Iced Tea: this was interesting.. it had a strong tea taste and it wasn't too milky. It kind of tasted like herbal tea, which isn't too bad. read more

First time in. We've been going to Pho Ao Sen for 15 years. Decided to change it up and try Phosho Dough and it's 100% our new spot. Food was delicious. The service (which we did not expect for counter service) was amazing. We were asked at least 3 times how the food was and if we needed anything while were sitting outside. I can't recall a counter service restaurant that provides this level of service. Do yourself a favor and go try it. You won't regret it! read more

I heard about this place from my esthetician. I figured I would give it a try since I am new to the area. It did not disappoint. It's a very nice spot right on the corner of the street. There is some outdoor seating for anyone wanting to dine there. There is a spot inside as well, but it isn't as big. I love Banh Mi so when I saw they had a fish one I had to order it. I also ordered a shrimp one for my husband. Out of the two we both really enjoyed the fish one best. I am definitely looking forward to getting a vermicelli bowl when I go again! read more

Yummy food! Lemongrass beef and vegetarian pho are our family favorites. I wish they had "kid" pho options easy to order. It's possible to order just broth and noodles, but complicated to do online so I have to call. And I always remember their name because it's so fun to say. :) read more

Phosho Dough - Grilled Chicken Sandwich (BANH MI gA) - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

Great family-run storefront Vietnamese food. Come for the spring rolls and stay for the pho!

Delicious Bahn mi!!!! The BBQ pork had a beautiful char-grilled flavor, moist and tender. All of the right toppings. Only complaints are the bun is big and a little tough. I think I'll ask for a little more sauce next time. The price of $7.50 is a doll. I'll be back! read more

OMG! I don't want to post this because I don't want other people swarming my new Banh Mi spot but holy moly! My wife and I ordered a banh mi each and honestly we could've split one with how big they are!!! The banh mi was $8.75 and and extra $2 for double meat. But the normal serving was enough for sure. It appears to be a family run spot and brings good memories of growing up on Little Paris in SF. Super friendly and quick service. Even though it's small, they put out tables and chairs to accommodate sit down service. I will definitely be coming back here!!! read more

I've always been hesitant to try their Banh Mi as it's on the pricier side in my opinion for a Banh Mi. Finally decided to try it and it was personally perfect for me. There was a perfect ratio of meat, bread, and vegetables. The meat was juicy! Unlike other Banh Mia I've tried that it kind of surprised me. there was a nice little jalapeño kick to it. It was a nice medium size sandwich :) read more

The chicken Bahn mi is to die for It gets busy for a reason, it's best to call ahead unless you're eating there, which looks tough because it's only outdoor seating and it's pretty limited. I've heard nothing but good things about their pho but I haven't tried it yet because the sandwiches are so good. read more

So glad I discovered this place during Covid! My experience with the ordering/delivery process was very smooth, and they even took the time to leave handwritten messages on the takeout containers. I tried the shrimp spring rolls, fried egg rolls, grilled pork banh mi, and pork vermicelli bowl. Everything was so tasty and flavorful! I especially enjoyed the dipping sauce for the spring rolls and was impressed by how perfectly intact the banh mi stayed during delivery, as sometimes the bread gets soggy or stale from other places I've ordered from. I'll definitely order again from here and try some more items on the menu next time. read more

I still remember the first time I ever had Pho... life changing! Fast forward a "few" years later and I can safely say I have had enough Pho to be able to discern the good from the not-so-good. On the spectrum, I'd say Phosho is on the higher end for me based on taste, portion size, spice level and price point. I ordered the beef noodle soup with thin sliced beef and "made it spicy" for $1.50 more. DELICIOUS, complex and rich broth. No issues there. Serving size was probably enough for two, not sharing though, and DAMN did I get my spicy! I'm usually the one who adds half a bottle of the rooster to my food to bring it up to medium but I didn't have to do anything to amp up the heat here. So good. The only negative I will say is that I prefer my meat to be more on the rare side when served, allowing the broth to naturally cook it as I eat it. Here I feel like the meat may have been pre-cooked? Was a little tough and chewy. Otherwise, I'd come back here Phosho! read more

Phosho Dough - Beef noddle soup, thin sliced beef. - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

The best Bahn Mi in North Oakland / Temescal, no question. HOWEVER, they really need to figure out how to get more staff in there -- last time I ordered (at lunchtime) they gave me a 20 minute estimate (for one sandwich) and ended up taking 35 minutes because there was a big order that came in in front of me. Even when there isn't a big group order, it typically takes 15-20 minutes to get a sandwich, so make sure you phone in your order unless you want to stand awkwardly on the corner for quite a while. read more

Solid place for some pho and banh mi. Went for lunch with coworkers and parking was easy to find on the street. There was a line but looks like most people take to go. Not that many tables. Broth was good in the pho and banh mi bread was typical. I did like the grilled fish though. Seating was only outside. Service was good and prices were fair. read more

I specified that I had a gluten allergy in my Uber Eats order. I also called the restaurant and emphasized how important it was. They reassured me, multiple times, that my dish contained no gluten. The next day I started feeling sick--called them back, and found out the meat was actually cooked in soy sauce (which contains wheat). I had to miss work and as an independent contractor, I don't get paid sick time. I'm in such disbelief that despite my transparent and assertive communication, I still end up being severely harmed by the food that they served me. They took no accountability for their mistake. Highly unprofessional, and harmful to the gluten free community. read more

Phosho Dough - Banh mi sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

It's difficult to put into words how good this place is. My first experience was a few months ago looking for a pho place around Berkeley. Ex gf of mine told me about a new place that recently opened on Telegraph and of course I was very skeptical. As soon as I got here (I'm there right now), I knew it was going to be good. Small, focused menu. Open kitchen. Friendly service. Wonderful smell (albeit a little smoky). We ordered the beef pho, the chicken pho, and the spring rolls. First thing that hits you is the freshness. Incredibly fresh ingredients-- the texture and taste of the meat is better. You don't feel heavy after eating it and let me tell you, the portions are generous. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls was better than any of the peanut sauces I've had. They really put the spring in spring rolls-- very fresh. In terms of pure flavors is wasn't good. It was fantastic. There's a theme to each product unlike some pho places where the chicken pho is the beef pho except with chicken. Which is actually not a sufficient analogy because the lemongrass beef pho is quite different than the sliced beef pho (in a good way). It really seems like they took the approach of picking out a few great ingredients and then trying to perfect the broth, the beef, the bread (if you get the sandwich), everything. And what do you know, the result is a fantastic product. Portion sizes... very generous. If you haven't eaten all day, just the pho is enough to satisfy you. Add on spring rolls and you're going to be sound asleep as soon as you get home. If it's a meal for one of course. Other than that, my first time, there was a little too much toppings (basil, bean sprouts, lime) but no complaints these days. I come here as often as my student budget allows me to. If you like to think about what you're eating, if you are someone who appreciates food, or if you have a pulse, you should come here. read more

Phosho Dough - Lemongrass Pho (or what was) - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

I've been here twice so far for takeout, and had a great experience both times. Banh mi: You're probably most interested in the banh mi, so I'll dive into those first. They're not huge, but they're a solid size, and packed full of delicious meat and veggies. Maybe the size of a really big baked potato. Plus for $7 they're a better deal than some of the places in the Berkeley area. Nom Nom further up Telegraph is delicious, but it's like $10 a sandwich there. The seasonings are tasty, though like other reviews have said, the beef can be a bit tough - I still need to try the other meats. They have things like fish, tofu, and veggie, so something for everyone! My SO wishes they'd put more pate on their sandwiches, so heads up if you're a pate lover. Other food: The fried egg rolls and fresh spring rolls are all excellent. They have lots of choices, including a "surf n turf" spring roll (chicken/pork + shrimp) that is surprisingly good. The fried egg rolls are really nice - long and thin, with a thin crispy shell, kind of like a lumpia. Verdict: Should you try this place? Phosho dough. read more

Been wanting to try this place as they have such a creative name lol Ordered 3 items to go 1. Lemon Grass Beef Banh Mi sandwich - fist thing I noticed was this banh mi was packed with lemon grass beef they do not skimp you on the meat here ! As soon as I took a bite of the sandwich all Of that lemon grass flavor kicked me in the mouth ! Beef was season so well. Only thing I would mention is it was kind of on the dry side so I added Japanese mayo when I got home . 2. Fried egg roll wrapped in spring roll- I thought it was ok it's literally a egg roll wrapped in spring roll and it's served with a peanut sauce . I would ask for fish sauce just in case you don't like the sweet peanut sauce . 3. Lemon grass beef and shrimp vermicelli bowl- this was probably my favorite order . I added an egg roll and I loved the balance of flavors in this bowl . Vegetables and sauce that came with this bowl was on point ! One of the best vermicelli bowls I had . Small shop on the corner on telegraph as of now they are having dining outside but it looks like they usually only have about two to three tables inside before the pandemic . I definitely wanna come back and try the pho as well read more

Yummmmmy!! We live about a mile away and are still getting to know all of our eating options as we just moved in a few months ago. Short story - love this spot and we will be back! Longer story - We got pork spring rolls - really loved the dipping sauce. More flavorful than the typical. I got the lemongrass pork noodle soup. Flavorful and fresh. Loved it! Husband got the pork sandwich and also enjoyed it. Thanks for a great neighborhood spot. read more

Definitely one of those places that you're not sure if you want to tell everyone about because then there'd be lines out the door and you'd have to wait in line BECAUSE IT'S SO DARN GOOD. Both the banh mi and the pho were oh so good. The best banh mi in north Oakland for sure. I'd like to do a taste-off between East and North Oaklands. Phosho would definitely be a contender. MMMMmmmm.... getting hungry just thinking about it.... read more

Ok..,this place is legit! Just came back from Hoi An and Anthony Boirdain's reco on the famous banh mi there has nothing on this place. The bread is soft, yet has a nice crunch to hold together all the generations portions of meat and fresh veggies that topped off our sammie! The Vietnamese coffee was rich and bold but incredibly satisfying. There was a constant flow of customers and we came at 5PM on a weekday . Too bad I can't buy a few extra and eat tomorrow. read more
