Got the pho #1, egg rolls, and chicken wings. Pho #1 {5/5}: Great service size, piping hot, and had a great variety of protein/toppings. The flavor was great, just a tiny bit too salty. Egg rolls {4.5/5}: Freshly fried with good ratio of filling. Chicken wings {3.5/5}: oily, but good garlic flavor and fish sauce marinade.

Both came out steaming hot with a broth that's rich, clean, and well seasoned. Rare beef cooked perfectly from the heat of the broth, brisket had that melt in your mouth pull you want. The #21 is the move if you want variety in one bowl. Portions are generous, service is quick and no nonsense. Space is a bit tight when it fills up but for the price and quality Pho Huong Que holds it down in Oakland. Will be back.

I haven't been here in maybe a decade or two. I used to come here with my family growing up in…read moreOakland. I brought a friend with me, we parked a block or two away. There's only street parking. The inside is pretty much the same as I remember it. They have QR code menus. I ordered the chao ca / fish congee. It was tasty and simple, comforting. Good portion size, watery, which is what I think characterizes Vietnamese congee? I'll have to come back someday soon. I took half of my congee home in a leftover container. Service was very nice and quick. In requesting a to-go container for my leftovers, the lid they handed me didn't fit the container. I had to ask them for another lid and they tried a few and helped me find one that did fit after a few minutes. Good service!

This restaurant is located China Town in Oakland on 10th and Harrison. We walked in and got seated…read moreright away. The place was welcoming and typical of any Vietnamese restaurant. We ordered the tofu bahn mi, tofu, veggies and mushroom vermicelli and Vietnamese pancake with shrimp. They were all amazing. The tofu in the banh mi was stirred fried w/ mushrooms not fried like how I'm used to. So it was a little different but very tasty. 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!

I'd been seeing the Banh Khot all over my feed and I had to try it!…read more My girlfriend and I met for an early dinner and I was happy to find this place didn't close between lunch and dinner. We got spring rolls, Banh Khot and fish sauce chicken wings. The spring rolls were ok, the sauce was watery. The Banh Khot was not as crunchy as I'd hoped, but it was flavorful. The wings were ok. The prices were Great, I wanted to live this spot but it was not memorable. My Banh Khot search continues .

Are you a TK person or VH person? Me, I think it's safe to say I'm both. I'm not going to lie,…read moreif we're talking about wait time, VH literally takes the cake. It is always so busy! This is a fast place, table sharing, no room having place. If you're looking for a western style dining, it can become overwhelming. But, just embrace the speed and efficiency of this restaurant. Because once you are seated, you're served immediately to get you on the way. With service, don't expect tier 1 experience, but you'll get your water/tea. Savor it, don't assume they'll come back while you're still eating. Just saying! There's a few things on the menu that are must have.. 1. Chow Jew Ho Fun with soup on the side - the obvious that everyone orders. I like to get soup on the side, and then put about two tablespoons soup back into my noodle and add all the sauces! Then occasionally, sip the soup to wash everything down. 2. Beef Stew Ho Fun - My boyfriend's must have. Flavorful, soft meat, delicious. 3. Fish Cakes - Personally, I don't care for fish cakes, but my boyfriend and his family order it all the time, so of course I'll still eat it. It's still good. I'm just a person who feels I can buy it from the banh mi shops and it taste the same. Lol I don't eat anything else here. This is one of those restaurants where you go and eat what they're known for, not wander off too far away from the menu because the other stuff is just legit filler items. The only problem I have is, it's so expensive now for a small bowl. So it makes me not want to come back, but at the same time, flavors are really good. You just would think with the amount of customers, the business thriving, you could at least keep the portion size the same as before..

Went here before Mosswood Meltdown, it was my second visit. Previously I had the clay pot catfish,…read morewhich is a reliably wonderful dish anywhere it's made, but this time I decided to try the ribs. These are no ordinary ribs--they are crusted with a sweet, salty glaze with a bit of fish sauce and covered in roasted sesame seed. It came in three beautifully stacked pieces, at least two bones each, with a bit of pink pickled onion. If I ordered it again I might request some more of the pickled onion. It's a large portion, plenty to share, but ... I didn't share, it was too good!

Came here for Valentine's Day expecting to indulge and try out the Chef Bar or Chef Table…read moreexperience but those were not available at the time. We were informed there may be a Pri-fixe menu beforehand but that was not available that day either. We had no issues with that, but it would be preferable if they made sure they are able to offer the experiences that are available on the website. We ordered the wicked buns, Saigon give you wings, garlic noodle and the bo luc lac. The food was out very quickly. Wicked Buns: The wicked buns were quite good. Truly cannot go wrong with some fried bao buns! Chicken Wings: We really enjoyed the chicken wings as well. The fish sauce gives the wings a nice sweetness and makes them quite addicting. Garlic Noodles: The garlic noodles had a nice char flavor to it. We could see them set it on fire from the bar, although we felt that the garlic noodles could have had a bit more salt and garlic in them. The shrimp also tasted frozen but they were still good. Bo Luc Lac: We enjoyed the bo luc lac as well, it was cooked well and quite tender. It was very flavorful to the point it made us wish we had ordered the dirty rice with it. Cocktails: For drinks I asked the bartender what he recommended and offered to make me something. It wasn't off-menu, but he made the Pillow Talks which had gin, calamansi and egg white in it. It had a nice flavor profile and balance and creaminess to the drink. I also ordered the Pandanmonium which is a pandan old fashioned which I really enjoyed. The drinks were quite fairly priced as well which I really appreciated. Overall, I think the portion sizes can be a little small for the price, but the food is delicious and great. The drinks are also great and I would definitely come back for them!

I haven't been back in over a decade and it's even better than I remember!…read more Value for sure: - one size for pho $22 for the beef combo, generous portions - definitely like a large, XL - turmeric fish bun - don't see this often and it was fresh! Loved the peanuts on the side so I can control how much I want in my dish - fried squid, great starter, piping hot and not over cooked, still very tender and gf! Great service - checked in with us appropriately. I see why it was filled with patrons before noon on a Saturday! Sat at the communal tables in the middle and quite comfortable! They have alfresco seating in the front and the interior of the restaurant seems to have AC - a must in the warmer months. Glad to see them continuing to thrive!!! On my shortlist for sure.

I'm almost feeling speechless over how good the meal here was. We arrived about 15 minutes after…read moreopening on a Saturday evening and were seated immediately. The wait staff were attentive and came by promptly to take our order. We put in a first round of apps and cocktails and ordered our main course and dessert later. Everything was quite tasty, but I especially enjoyed the main courses, bánh hỏi bò lá lốt and bún chả Hà Nội. The quality of each was top tier. I've tried quite a lot of bún chả, and I could detect the marginal increase in quality here compared to other places. The phở-nominal cocktails and fish sauce ice cream were also delectable. I loved the savory take on each, and since they're rarer finds, I was glad that Tay Ho had them on the menu. Also notable is that even though we came early, there were already a substantial amount of diners and the place was busy, which is a good sign this place delivers the goods. I surveyed the other tables of patrons as I dined in, and other guests represented a diverse range of backgrounds across ages, so this place has something to satisfy every palate. I could go on about this place, but I won't because you really just gotta come try it for yourself to discover how good it is.

I really liked the rice noodles with came with grilled pork and pork patties in a sweet fish sauce and served with a ton of lettuce, herbs and cucumber slices. The pork was on the sweeter side but really yummy eaten as a lettuce wrap. The rice roll texture was fantastic and I liked the rice rolls with mushroom and pork filling. I'm not a huge fan of the fish cakes and other pate and pork products but this one was pretty good and it's a fun way to try a bunch of different bites.
