Casual dine in restaurant with delicious food. Service was good and prices were fair. I was the only one at the restaurant at the time, so no issues with service whatsoever. Food was delicious. I ordered special pho (the one with all the different meats in it). It was tasty, fresh and exactly what I imagined it to be. The portions were huge, I ordered a regular. I didn’t get to try thei egg rolls since I was super stuffed. Their thai iced tea was on the stronger side but still yummy. I would definitely recommend this place.

Good experience, nothing fancy. This is a solid place to get a consistent bowl of Pho. It’s not the best pho I’ve had and I would say the service is neutral but the thing this place has going for it is that it is consistent. I’ve been coming here for the last three years (primarily because it’s in walking distance from my home) and I always know what to expect. Also, be sure to get there before a half hour of closing because they will literally turn you away if you come in to close to closing time. All in all, I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a simple and affordable bowl of soup (p.s. the tai ice tea comes sweetened and it’s hella sweet)

I came just before closing to get a takeaway, was recommended number 1, the beef special, by staff. Large portion but it was dreadful. Perhaps it was the circumstances – its obviously a popular place so I may be willing to give it another shot but if I go again I’ll definitely get something else because that dish was terrible. Staff efficient and friendly though.

We love this place for its Pho and its speedy convenience. We go there for take-out a few times a month. I never order ahead because the Pho comes so quickly. I just show up and place a take-out order and sit back with my smart phone. Typically, they are bringing me my bag of hot Pho and goodies before my phone can even load up the first distraction!

The place was empty when I stopped in for a late lunch. I really like Pho but was very disappointed in the food here. The soup was tasteless and the chicken was rubbery and tasteless as well. I’m not sure if this was an off day or if I just ordered the wrong bowl. I’m pretty sure I ordered the Pho with seafood so I’m not sure why there was any chicken in it but there was and it ruined it. I won’t be back too many good alternatives.

I really question the judgement of some of the other reviewers when they say this is the best Pho in Oakland. What?

My favorite pho house mainly due to their beef and chicken based broth – I think it’s the best around. The noodles are ok. The portion is generous. Service is good and efficient. The appetizers are not worth getting.

Friendly staff, clean restaurant, and the most boring pho I have ever had in my life. Pho Tai had a small serving of over done steak and the broth was almost flavorless. The serving of noodles was very generous, which was great.

Very good food for very reasonable prices. It’s usually nice and quiet without making you feel like you shouldn’t talk. Service is always friendly and on point.

Very fast service and piping hot bowls of pho. This large restaurant is also good for big groups of people, perfect to help you recover from whatever damage you and your friends did to your body last night.
