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!

Alan Liang

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 !

Shirley Lau

Amazing pho ! The bun cha ha noi was tasty as well , but not quite the authentic flavors from Hanoi.

Darren Chan

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

Gregor Dodson

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.

Jessica Feng

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!

Brian Strauss

The Bun is the way to go here

joanne

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

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!!!

Tom A

Pho and everything else I've had. Definitely my favorite in Oakland.

Khanh-Dan Tran-kiem

Bun bo hue is crazy spicy ! Make sure to get it mild if you can't handle too much spice.

Joseph Le

Get the #2 pho . Includes all the meats AND meatballs

Mark Lindzy

So delicious and off the radar for most. CASH ONLY

#39 Marinated pork , egg roll rice vermicelli ! The best!!!!!! You won't go wrong!

This place is the jewel of Irving Stret. The five spiced chicken vermicelli is a must try!

Pertz

Decent pho , but I almost always get their Bun Thit Nuong when I visit!

Tom A

What better way to end a fun and special day then with a healthy and delicious bowl of pho !?

My favorite Pho in Oakland - get the #1 and an iced coffee ...

Motohiro Takayama

Bring your empty stomach, or you will get too full to walk.

JEREMY BISPO

#16 rare steak and brisket .

K East

Pho Ga ' is great!

Hugo Velis

They just started accepting Visa and Mastercard as of the beginning of the month. Sweet!!!!!

Kelly Jung

Instead of ice water, try their iced jasmine tea

Kim Woo

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.

Juni

Order a baguette to dip into your broth

Johnny Lam

they take visa and mastercard now

ᴡ Kelley

If u don't know what to order, the number 14 is the go to order.

Wendy

#36 is good ... a little spicy though ...

#12 & #16 are always good.

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
