    Affordable pho and bun rieu Creamy Vietnamese iced coffee Friendly service Family ambiance Thank you!

    10.95 special for Thursday and Friday
    Sandy M.

    Located in the same lot as Lucky's, there's usually plenty of parking. Great hospitality and best of all 10.95 for a bowl of combination pho on Thursdays and Fridays. Portion is pretty decent and is usually enough for me for dinner. Good amount of different kinds of beef. Right now for the veggies and water, it is self serve, which is different but pretty good.

    P3 Pho with ox tail
    Juicke C.

    Interesting two Vietnamese restaurants co exist side by side. Although I have never visit this particular place and each time I had walked by they went closed. So on this day, they were open. As such, I gave them a try. After browsing their vast menu, I narrowed down to their pho with ox tail and other slices of beef, and a jasmine milk tea with boba. I'm always looking for pho with in bone short ribs or ox tail. This big bowl of pho came with two pieces of ox tail, the larger half cut tail meat was a bit on the tougher side and the smaller whole piece was more to my liking where the meat was tender and near falling off the bone. The tendon and brisket pieces were tender but the flank was tough and hard to chew. The broth without any addition was on the bland side. After adding the bean sprout, lime, leaves, and chili sauce was more tasty. The service was friendly and food delivery was quick. There are menu items that may bring me back for return visit.

    Second time here and I cannot say enough good things ! It's my new fav spot . I came this second time around and got the chicken dish it's so good . It's soft and moist while the outside is crunchy . The pickled veggies and rice is delish ! I ordered a bowl of soup on the side this time as well . The Vietnamese coffee and orange juice are yummy too

    #3. Beef Special

    Man, second time here and it's really very different from the first time we were here. We ordered: Pho - very little flavor in the broth and the broth itself wasn't hot enough #15A: the grilled meats were not tasty at all and seemed rushed Appetizers were such a bummer: Calamari: looks nothing like the picture on the menu and it arrived AFTER our meal Salt and pepper tofu: super coated in batter and served with raw onions. Arrived AFTER our meal. I just don't think we will be back until they make some changes.

    My go to spot for Wonton Soup with Ho Fun Noodles! May not be our favorite Vietnamese spot... but for Wonton's, I really like it! Service is quick. You sit where you like. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. We usually sit indoors against the large art wall. They take your order. You eat. And you can go to the register to Apple Pay. The portions are pretty good. I always finish up my whole bowl. Broth and all!

    $8.95 promo for beef combo pho!
    Alex F.

    No complaints for a delicious packed bowl of combination beef pho for $8.95. You will not find a better deal anywhere in the states. I've been here six times in the past two weeks. Owner said the promo is until the end of the month, and they'll even be open tmw on thanksgiving! Go get yours while it lasts.

    Creative way to price BBH with or without the pig feet.
    Y X.

    Cloudy Friday with a few missions accomplished in Oakland/Alameda Homedepot, we (my fiat and I) were slowly rolling out the main entrances. I was avoiding eye contacts with the Hispanic bros who are waiting for work in the front. Not now but good to know that you guys are around... I think... Wait! I see pho and 10.95 and where?!!! Tasty Bowl! and 10 minutes later, I'm sitting down waiting for P1 (pho combo) for $10.95. Not a scam... yet.... (btw, BBH no pig feet $13.95, with pig feet $17.95, I was amused by the flexibility they think this can be....: )) It's piping hot and a hearty bowl of pho. Not huge not small and just right, though it's hard to fish out the thin sliced stick meat. But there are quite few big pieces of briskets and even with some long time boil neck meats. Garnishments are quite fresh as well. Is it because they are next the very famous Pho King that they need to work extra harder? Regardless, if you take the trouble to post a sign outside of H.D. and I see it, I'm sold. Probably no one would disagree with me that the amount of effort and energy you need to keep the business running, safe, competitive, profitable (another 100 words later), you need more than 10 miles of work and imagination. Plus, have you ever seen any restaurants have their original price crossed out with a discounted price? I've never. They exactly remind me of the ppl in Vietnam, creative and survival oriented. This is why they caught another immigrant like me. Only suggestion is to clean the table and siracha bottle better. They are kind of greasy. Sometimes cleanness is the first thing to propel ppl. It doesn't take much to correct it. Slowly rolling out of the mall now...

    I got the #1 it's bomb with the beef short rib on the side
    Paula Adora V.

    This is our go to noodle soup spot since Pho King is always so busy and the other spots further down International are a bit farther. We've been going here since we used to live in the area. I like the hu tieu nam vang (soup) with thick egg noodle soup when I'm feeling like eating something more Cambodian. I love the fried pork fat, quail egg, blood cube, pork slices, and I always add chili oil and pickled jalapeños. The broth is well rounded and flavorful. Perfect balance of savory with a little sweet. I also like picking different noodles for this soup since I always eat rice noodles with pho. The dry version is very bomb too. This is the best dish there in my opinion- especially for those who like a variety of flavors. My husband always gets the #1 pho combo. It comes with a beef rib as well. Sometimes we get the regular pho combo too - there's a special right now for $9.95 for a small. This is a really good deal for the Bay Area honestly. The place is usually not packed but I wish it was. The team knows our orders there. It's a very nice family establishment. I know there's a lot of competition nearby but it's worth a try! We've gone to all the other spots as well - each place will have their own special dish and for me it's the Hu tieu nam vang.

Their salads are a standout, especially with the ability to customize your protein. Their fusion twists on burritos, bowls, burgers, and spaghetti are right up my alley.

Alice and the staff have built something genuinely special here; a warm, welcoming community where regulars and newcomers mix easily over tiles and great food. The energy in the room is wonderful, and you can tell the whole team actually cares about the experience they're creating. If you're looking for a neighborhood restaurant with delicious food and real heart, Belly is it. Highly recommend coming for a meal, and even more so for Mahjong Night if that's your thing.

    Belly Date: Monday, September 7, 2026…read more It was Labor Day, and I was debating where to eat near Rockridge BART. Unfortunately, both Cactus and Market Hall Foods were closed, so I decided to eat at Belly since I was also in the area playing mahjong. This was my second time eating here. I split the Surf Burrito ($20.75) with my friend. It comes with tempura fish, sesame slaw, avocado, pico de gallo, sambal aioli, spicy crema, and multigrain rice. The burrito was a good size, so splitting it with someone is a good idea. The menu says it comes with spicy crema, but I didn't find it spicy at all. My friends ordered the Crispy Dumplings ($12 for 6)--homemade pan-seared pork and shrimp dumplings served with soy chili oil. The dumplings seemed a little small for $12, which works out to about $2 each. Overall, if I'm in the neighborhood playing mahjong, I would come back to Belly to eat. I would probably split the burrito again because $20.75 is a little pricey for a burrito.

I have been super excited to try hawking bird, and it did not disappoint. We got the satay chicken salad, curry fried chicken rice bowl, pickles, and the calamansi soda. Satay chicken salad -- very fresh and flavorful. the grilled chicken was very well marinated, and had lots of flavor. It came with a vinaigrette and a yummy peanut dipping sauce on the side. We thought it could use a little more greens, as the portion felt somewhat small. Curry fried chicken bowl -- this was our favorite thing that we got! The curry was flavorful and there was the perfect amount of it over the chicken and rice. There was a healthy portion of fried chicken and rice, which we appreciated. The chicken itself was super crispy and yummy. All of the components went very well together, and we really loved this one! Pickles -- this was just okay to me. the pickled vegetables consisted of assorted veggies including green beans, peppers, and cabbage. The veggies had a slight sweetness to them, but also were spicy! Not my favorite, but still pretty good. Calamansi soda -- honorable mention because I love calamansi and was so excited to see that they had this as an option! If you are a calamansi lover, you definitely enjoy this. it was crisp, refreshing, and had an authentic calamansi flavor. I'd definitely get it again! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! We thought that the portions were the perfect size for sharing, which we loved. Next time, I'd definitely get the curry rice bowl again because it was so good! The decor was super cute, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you are craving a chicken dish, we recommend you check this place out!
