I'm kind of ashamed to admit this, but I was never really a fan of pho. To me, it felt like a watered down less flavorful version of ramen, and boy was I way wrong. After trying the super combination beef pho at Super Super, I can now say that pho is one of my favorite foods. The broth is super flavorful yet light and the meat is tender and cooked to perfection. Not to mention the portion sizes are quite generous, and I can easily enjoy this pho for at least a couple of meals. Another standout for me is the combo banh mi. What a game changer. I have never had such a tasty banh mi before. The sauce is super flavorful and the different meats in the sandwich form a lovely medley. I have dreams of this pho and banh mi and can't wait to enjoy them both again once Super Super reopens. read more

This is our go-to pho! Delicious fried garlic in abundance on every one of them; fresh plentiful toppings and I usually add veggies to my pho ga which includes cabbage broccoli and bok choy read more

This place is great and it all starts with who cooks the food and of course great ingredients. This is a family owned restaurant and the kindness and good service warms my heart. This family works hard and do a good job with customer service and making sure their customers are satisfied all the way around. Feeling welcome and at home keeps me coming back time and time again. Great food! I Thank the Super Super family for the Love they put in their food read more

The Brisket Pho was hands down in my top three Pho's I have ever eaten ( and I love and eat a lot of pho ). It was so delicious and hit the spot. The broth was so flavorful! The service was top tier too, the front desk employee was very kind and super helpful!! When I'm back in the area I would defiantly go back! :) read more

The food was amazing, and the portions were great! Fast service, and the employees were so nice. I highly recommend going here with friends for a casual dinner! Definitely check it out for some good Vietnamese food. read more

Super hot pho with lots of broth, meat and noodles! It's expensive compared to other places, but still worth going to. I love the patio that people can sit at. They also have self serve water and tea. read more

3/27/22 Yes, Yelp scores this play 4.5+. Yes, they're lying to you. There is no way any self-respecting Vietnamese person would say this place is among they best they've ever had (what I interpret 4-5 stars out of 5 to mean). So a few things: it was cold, and there are no heaters outside. Also, the chopsticks are plastic. Now, usually you'd think disposable utensils are cheap and inferior, but any serious chopsticker knows plastic chopsticks are a NO GO for noodle soup. Wooden/bamboo, and especially cheapo rough-cut disposable chopsticks are faaaar preferable for obvious reasons. Hope you're good with chopsticks, else, there's no shame in asking for a fork. I mean, it's either that or starve right? And... our cashier looked like he hated his job, or had a really bad day. Well, I guess if dude, you had a bad day, sorry. Hope you got to eat something from outside for lunch, or dinner. I would be unhappy if I had to eat your food daily too. A3. Fried Chicken Wing $10.50: Their wings look like they came from game hens. At least they're relatively juicy. 4/10 1. Super Pho Combination $15.40 "w. rare steak, well done brisket, beef balls": Yeah, this is basically one of the worst bowls of pho I've had in the last 5 years. When the girl sitting at the table next to us exclaimed, "The broth is SO delicious!!!," I nearly choked. Then the mom said something akin to everything being "amazing." I almost died at this restaurant of a heart attack--it was that close. Look, I dunno what soup they've had, but I've had literally about a hundred or so phos over the last 5 years and this broth is definitely in the lower 10%. Secondly, their noodles are all broken, none being longer than 3". And the WORST thing is--yes, their description is actually ALL you get. If you frequent Vietnamese restaurants you probably blasted right past the words "rare steak, well done brisket, and beef balls" cuz nearly almost all #1's at any other place include other meats such as fatty brisket, tripe, etc.... nope, none of that. Also, they don't do "rare steak" correct. It was well done by the time they put the bowl in front of me. The right way of course being raw before pouring the soup on top. So all I got was a about 4-5 small slices of toughass overcooked meat and some ballz. Hell, they're stingy with the veggie toppings too. Yeah, I know, usually I waste half of the typical toppings they give, but be prepared--they will give you 1/3rd as much as their competitors. $15-16 bucks man. It ain't cheap. One of the most expensive pho bowls I've had, and one of the worst. 1/10 Also a fact: in the patio (the only seating) there are about a dozen tables, most full when we came. Only 2 tables were Asian, and none of us were Vietnamese. I'll leave it at that. (General tip for you: don't trust any Yelp scores of Asian food in Berkeley. Trust me.) 1/5 #worstever #berkeley #pho #chickenwings #vietnamesefood read more

I dropped like 60 bucks here for two but I did order two pho, one appetizer spring roll, and 3 drinks. Not sure why it was so expensive, maybe I need to review my receipt lol. But I would say the beef pho was good. Huge portions. The shrimp pho that was sister got was another story. It was in chicken broth. I asked my sister how hers was and she gave me a look and said "it's ok" with a smile. I decide to give the broth a try and before I even try it, I decide to smell it and sure enough, it smells "piggy". I taste it and it tastes weird. I decide to give her half of my beef pho. Would not recommend anything not on the menu! The chicken pho broth might not be popular so I wonder if that's why it tasted weird? Anyway, the spring rolls were decent. Would go back for the beef pho. They were kind and gave us another dish of herbs. read more

Giving it a 3.5... I first came to Super Super years ago when they first opened and was amazed by the affordable prices and delicious vermicelli. I visited for takeout recently and the prices have skyrocketed since then. All entrees are over $10 now and they did not give very much in my shrimp vermicelli dish. Yet they were more generous with my husband's grilled pork vermicelli. I would hope they've give the same portions for each of their bowls. In terms of flavor, it was solid. Well-cooked noodles and prawns. Takeout took about 15mins on a weekday evening at 7pm. They have a parking lot and free residential parking. read more

The pho here is legit! It comes out piping hot in a gigantic bowl! The pho is delish and filling. The spring roll is fresh and refreshing. The outside seating is cold but the pho will quickly warm you back up! read more

Best Banh Mi I've ever had. The sauce! So upset when I found they were temporarily closed! Can't wait til September 1st.

The best PHO restaurant in Berkeley! The bowls are huge and so filling they give great portions and the taste is delicious of course !!! You walk in place your order and pay then take a seat. Their is self serve water and tea. Plenty of parking in the behind the restaurant they have their own designated parking lot so it's extremely convenient. Workers are nice and the restaurant is clean. read more

Loved the food, it was awesome. The awesome sandwich that was vegetarian. The Asian fusion dishes were good:

Very solid pho place and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Here's why: Food: B+ The pho was spot on and well made. Each bite was soothing and very smooth to the taste. The meat was tender and delicious. The spring rolls were also solid! The egg rolls were a bit smaller than expected (4 mini taquito-looking rolls) but tasted pretty good, but something felt...missing? But we enjoyed this place also due to proximity. Staff: A Staff was awesome and super friendly. Seemed like they cared about their craft and the cleanliness of their restaurant. Price for Quantity/Quality: B Definitely got a full meal's worth for what we paid. Pho averages about $13.50 (including tax) so pretty solid and egg rolls and spring rolls were really reasonable for what you got. Parking: A- Especially during COVID, their back area parking was clutch so I didn't have to park on the street and pay. I can see it get full quick if the restaurant went into fullindoor seating. Overall: B+ Really enjoyed this pho place and will dine there again! read more

The service was good but I'm always hunting for the best Vietnamese food and this was not it. There are many places in the bay with better pho. The both wasn't very flavorful and the meatballs were uninspiring. I'm a bit surprised this place has such high reviews read more

When you're craving pho or banh mis you need to check out this mom and pop shop! I have my usual go-tos but I've been making more of an effort to try new places outside of my comfort zone. What's great about this place is that even though it's located on San Pablo, they have a parking lot in the back for customers in addition to street parking. When you walk up to this place you notice that they have an outdoor patio seating area that looks like it'd be a great option on nicer days. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with such happiness by the older man tending the front (maybe the owner?). So how it works here in comparison to other places is that you pay up front at the register & then take your seats. Water here is self service & bathrooms are outside the restaurant through the patio. It seems like they only have one size for their pho so think around $10 for a bowl. We got the #1 and a roasted chicken banh mi. Both were tasty! We weren't expecting much when coming here but the broth was piping hot & rich & filled with what seemed like 2 portions of noodles per bowl. The banh mi was warm & was filled with tasty roasted chicken. My only con with the banh mi is that it had too much sauce for my liking & we wished the carrots had a more pickled flavor. PROS: - Rich broth - Friendly atmosphere (seems like there are a ton of usuals) - Quick service (food in less than 5 mins) - Free parking - Partners with Caviar for delivery - Tons of noodles per serving - Big/wide bowls for $10 - Nice baguette for banh mi CONS: - No tripe :( - Not the cleanest (occasional flies roaming around) - No various size options Food here really hit the spot for a cloudy night. read more

Super Super Restaurant - Pho Specialty - Vietnamese Near Me - Berkeley, California

TLDR: amazing banh mi and great prices. I decided to try Super Super after perusing Yelp for a good Vietnamese restaurant near Berkeley. I stumbled upon Super Super and was immediately convinced to make the trip here after seeing the great prices and delicious looking food. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the nicest older man - he was so cheerful and kind. The way the restaurant works is that you step up to a counter to order your food, are handed a number to place on your table and then a server will bring your food out to you. My partner and I ordered a pork banh mi, and two combination phos. First, let's talk about the banh mi! The bread was pillowy soft and buttery while the pork was super flavorful. I can see why this place is named Super Super - it's super delicious. My partner and I were so impressed by the banh mi that we ordered another one to take home. The pho came with a generous portion of thin rice noodles and tender beef. The soup had strong beefy flavor and I was extremely satisfied by the pho. I highly recommend ordering the pho! I can't wait to come back when I have another craving for Vietnamese food. I'd love to try other items on the menu! read more

This place has the best bahn mi bread in the area. It's toasty and buttery, soft but not tough, its the best part of the sandwich. I enjoyed my sandwich but the meat was boring and didn't add much. I also wish it had more veggies on it. For just around $8 is was average. The bread really saved the day. It felt like a small lunch portion. With so many competing bahn mi shops with cheaper offerings, I was expecting a little bit more. I will deff go back and try the pho. read more

was brought here the first time by a friend who loves this place. i really wanted to as well. sadly it's nice dog-friendly patio space is the only reason i can give it anything more than the minimum number of stars. since the only Pho they have resembling a Seafood option is their Shrimp Pho, that's what i've had. i thought it was bland and lacking in flavor the first time i tried it, and confirmed that again this week. my dining partner thought the same of her Beef dish. moreover, it was ~$40 for the 2 of us! this for what is probably the weakest Pho i've ever tried, and a beef dish that was described by my normally generous partner as "disappointing". if you're craving a good Pho, save your time and money, and skip this place. go down the road a mile or so to Pacific East Mall and try one of the options there like Pho Saigon II Restaurant on the north side of the mall. read more

Came here after a quick kite-flying session down at Cesar Chavez park. Was craving a banh mi for the past few days, and Super Super popped up as an option. Located along San Pablo street, Super Super is a little Vietnamese shop painted in white. Inside it's a bit dingy - there's literally a bug zapper right above one of the tables you can eat at... talk about extra protein lol The SO and I ordered the following to-go: Special Combination Banh Mi Special Combination Pho - comes with rare steak, flank and beef meatball Shrimp Spring Rolls The guy who took our order was a little guy and he was alright. Nothing special really, but we got our food semi-quickly. Drove the 12+ miles home and dug in. Sadly, my sandwich was hella soggy! Bread was on the softer side; I think they use French bread? over the French baguette cause it was a different shape as well. I could totally see the sandwich being bomb if it wasn't soft/soggy. And I love my condiments, but it seemed like there was way too much of their sauce in there. Anyway, the SO liked his pho and the shrimp spring rolls were decent... wished they provided the peanut sauce instead of the fish sauce but oh wells! In the end, maybe that day was a fluke, or we should have eaten there for more *fresh* food. Would like to give Super Super one more try - maybe a bun or com tam! read more

Preliminary thoughts: 3.5 / 4 stars Overall had a pretty okay, pleasant experience at Super Super! Thought the food itself was pretty good (though not Extraordinary), and portion sizes were a good size as well. Each dish (save the banh mi) were around $11+, so post-tax came out to be a $12.50 ish meal. I might be comparing it to Monster Pho, which has similar prices but larger portions and also good quality pho. $11-12 isn't a bad price range to pay for a meal though! Rating it a 4 stars (rounding up) because the service was great! Seemed like a mom and pop vibe shop, though not sure if it actually was. They were super sweet, friendly, and had lots of smiles to go around :') A few regulars came in while we were there, which was nice to see and cute interactions to watch. It was a pretty chill, quiet ambiance. Food itself was pretty okay too -- I wanted to try something new, so I got a tofu bún. The tofu itself was fried and didn't have That Much flavor, but the sauce it came with (a sweet-ish chili sauce) helped to add some flavor into the dish. The pickled carrots were my favorite part of the dish! If I come back, definitely trying their pho next time, as my boyfriend said it was pretty good (he got the #1 option for his dish). read more

Super Super Restaurant - Pho #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Berkeley, California

We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. There were few people sitting in their outdoor area and it wasn't crowded at all. The place has an indoor and outdoor seating area. They two bathrooms in their outdoor area and it was clean. The food service was really fast and the staff were super friendly. It seems like a great family owned place. Food: We got their banh mi sandwiches: one tofu and one pork. They were both really good and their spicy garlic sauce was a great addition to the flavor of the sandwich. I'm not sure what it was but it was gooood! The tofu was crispy, but lacked a tad of flavor. I would recommend using their sauce to help. The bread was very soft and I really loved it! It had a nice crisp on the inside of it to add to the crunch of the banh mi. Overall the place was nice and I would come back again to try their pho! read more

Absolutely amazing family owned and operated business that's different than your typical Vietnamese restaurants as far as the atmosphere and food options. I've stopped by multiple times because I was craving their bahn me (sandwich). I've tried them all and I think my favorite is the chicken. The sauce they use is addictive. Everything is so simple and at the same time tasty at a reasonable price. You can't go wrong. The family that operates it is friendly and always welcoming. I'd highly recommend this for someone looking for simple food that's delicious and won't break the bank. read more

Super Super Restaurant - Phó Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Berkeley, California

This is a nice simple restaurant for a quick pho. My dad and I came here a couple of weeks ago and they were only offering outdoor dining, which was great since they had a shed over on the patio and there were cool breezes coming through while the weather was still warm. We both had the Beef Pho and they were pretty good. The broth was tasty as well. Nothing exceptional but definitely good. My biggest problem was the cleanliness, or rather the lack of it. When we sat down at the table that the server cleaned, the table was wet from the wipe. So I dried the table myself with tissues, and shrugged it off. When I checked the chopsticks, you bet they were dirty as well as the container it was in. I'm not sure how many hands brushed over the open chopsticks before one was picked out, but I am sure it's unhygienic given the virus going around and simply because a lot of people don't wash hands. I like to think my immune system is built better than all the preventable attacks from the restaurant and it became my only source of assurance while I happily slurped on the pho. Safe to say I write this review in good health, and you bet I'm coming back. read more

Super Super Restaurant - Th - Vietnamese Near Me - Berkeley, California

We only tried their pho to go for several times, but so far we only have an only great experience! We have tried chicken and beef pho, and both tasted terrific. The portion is big enough for us; I usually share one with my husband for lunch. The warm broth with full aromas fulfills the appetite. The other thing I want to note here is I like the way they pack the noodles, soup, vegetables, and herbs separately. It let us make customized pho at home depending on each individual's preference, and actually, it can keep the fresh taste. I can't wait to try out some other menus! read more

I came here on Saturday for lunch after shopping in the area. Food is a little expansive here but not bad for first time. The restaurant has its own parking lot so makes it that much easier considering it's hard to find parking in Berkeley. Steak and beef ball pho was great and the broth was burning hot, which made it great on a cooler day. Overall it's flavorful, the beef is tender and noodles is soft. Ordered one roasted chicken and one roasted pork banh mi. They were great but I would order light on Mayo in the future. Bread was toasted so the crunch was great. The coffee was a little sweet for me and the coffee was on the lighter side. read more

Big place and you can smell the aroma from outside. Hit tea and water are free at a self serve station. We were greeted by the happiest older Asian man. They accept apple pay which is convenient. I understand why reviews say this place isn't the cleanest, but it wasn't unbearable. Not sure if I'd say this is the best beef pho in the area. Though, it was tasty. The countless flies posted on the hoisin sauce bottle was a little sketchy and cringe worthy. The pork was mediocre, it would've been better fried. Not worth going again, tbh. You can probably find a place without so many flies, cheaper prices, and same flavor if not better. The family is adorable though. read more

I like that Super Super is a locally owned restaurant and that they seem to have a loyal following. I'm afraid I'm just not one of them. After ordering online to pick up (through GrubHub- since that was the only option I could find), the order was ready within the 20 minute window given, and pick up was safe/easy. I love their shaded outside deck in back, with live musicians playing on a Saturday at 1:30! Extra star just for that. Ok- the food... I ordered 3 banh mi- 2 chicken & 1 pork, plus fresh tofu spring rolls because I wanted something lighter (and remembered not being a fan of their banh mi, but couldn't recall why). When I got home, I realized my tofu spring roll order got changed to a banh mi I thought it was my mistake, but after checking my order, realized it was theirs. But I ate it and remembered that it's the creamy mayonnaise-based sauce in their banh mi that I don't like. I'm not mayo-adverse but it's a lot. Maybe this is what everyone loves, but I don't. The pickled veggies were fresh, the bread fine, but the sauce masked that really yummy fresh sweet/hot veggie flavor that I love. Everyone else gobbled their sandwiches, with only my mayo-loving daughter agreeing that there was too much sauce. Lesson learned? Ask for no sauce and open each box to be sure it's the right order???. I'd go back if everyone else wants to, but I have another place I prefer (another review later) read more

Solid food at slightly higher-than-average prices. Their combo banh mi sandwich is their best item by far - they put some Mayo or aioli type sauce that isn't really "authentic" but gives an interesting spin on your typical banh mi. Their pho and bun bo hue are both ok, but I found the portions to be kind of small and the soup just average, so I didn't get them again. Their Vietnamese ice coffee is good, on the sweeter side and has a slight coconut milk flavor to it (?). read more
