Everyone's talking about the bún bò huế , but the bò kho is the star; the meat is extremely tender and the broth is stellar. I never say this, but Ao Sen's bò kho is better than my mom's!
Whatever beef pho you get, get nuoc beo on the side. Or just ask for green onion oil. Pour 2 heaping spoonfuls into your soup . You'll thank me. =)
I always enjoy coming here. They are very friendly and the pho is great. Had a beef pho today with brisket , tendon and tripe . Always happy after too!
Their pork spring rolls are yummy! Not as good as brodard in So-Cal, but this is as good as it gets in Nor-cal. This place is CASH only !
Amazing pho ! The bun cha ha noi was tasty as well , but not quite the authentic flavors from Hanoi.
Solid pho with flavorful broth and tender meat. Use the spicy satay sauce !! Pretty unique and delicious.

I gotta say that those grilled pork spring rolls were delicious.
Pho - rare beef , flank , tendon and tripe . Delicious. Always a great meal here and the menu is extensive.
Authentic soup and good appetizers ! The place was full at 2pm
The Pho is legit. They also do Bun Cha Hanoi which is very hard to find around here, (as opposed to the ubiquitous Bun Cha ). Highly recommended.
Closes relatively early for dinner . Minimum $20 for credit card. Bun Bo Hue is amazing & perfect amount for a satisfying dinner .
Bun Ha Noi , Bun Bo Hue and Com Tam Dac Biet - all were awesome!
The Bun is the way to go here
it feels like a bizarre greenhouse, but it's the best pho i have found on this strip of international. the spicy beef stew , replete with beef , tendons , and chili oil , is also phenomenal. Read more
Solid bowl of phở . Awesome iced coffee !
One of the biggest pho restaurant with decent food at a reasonable price in Oakland.
Clean and largest Vietnamese spot! Tasty pork spring rolls and overall a good spot. Nom-dot-com :)
HANDS DOWN THE #1 best Pho I've ever ever ever experienced. Such a great little hidden local spot . I hope more city folks make the trip out here!
Best in town ! Now that I live in AZ, going to miss this place very much. Tendon only please!!!
Pho and everything else I've had. Definitely my favorite in Oakland.
Bun bo hue is crazy spicy ! Make sure to get it mild if you can't handle too much spice.
Get the #2 pho . Includes all the meats AND meatballs
So delicious and off the radar for most. CASH ONLY
#39 Marinated pork , egg roll rice vermicelli ! The best!!!!!! You won't go wrong!
Southern-Style Beef Pho is on the list of 21 best noodle bowls by San Francisco Magazine
This place is the jewel of Irving Stret. The five spiced chicken vermicelli is a must try!
Decent pho , but I almost always get their Bun Thit Nuong when I visit!
What better way to end a fun and special day then with a healthy and delicious bowl of pho !?
Vietnamese coffee here reminds me of the ones I had in Vietnam! Yum
the house special chicken pho is great!!
Hiro Sone, chef of Ame, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Phở xe lửa đặc biệt. Read more
Decent pho , but the grilled pork spring rolls is the best
The best Pho I've ever had! Generous portions ~ CASH ONLY !
Super authentic !
Grilled pork spring rolls are THE BEST
My favorite Pho in Oakland - get the #1 and an iced coffee ...
Bring your empty stomach, or you will get too full to walk.
#16 rare steak and brisket .
Pho Ga ' is great!
They just started accepting Visa and Mastercard as of the beginning of the month. Sweet!!!!!
Instead of ice water, try their iced jasmine tea
Love the pho here! But the service upstairs is terrible. If they send you up you're probably better off waiting longer for a seat downstairs.
Order a baguette to dip into your broth
they take visa and mastercard now
If u don't know what to order, the number 14 is the go to order.
#36 is good ... a little spicy though ...
#12 & #16 are always good.
Pay at the back counter or be ignored.
Best Bun Bo Hue in town
Family style spring rolls were really tasty and were a great portion. Managed to share between 3 people. Kid's pho for $5 is also a great deal and kind of large. - Emily L
Whenever I am in Oakland I always make a stop here. This is a great value place with good food. I would recomment the Beef Saday. Once you get seated you are served fast with fresh made food. - Erik Larsen
They have a wonderful seafood & meat market. Wonderful prices. - ????Tanaya(TeeTee) Wright????
Nice place to take a date, do some running or just spend some time. Nice views at sunset - Ilissa Gilmore
Great produce selection -- especially produce you don't find often (Kishus!!! Yum!!!). Definitely will go back whenever I'm in Berkeley! - Sue Heim
