Albany Ao Sen

Great Pho place in Albany with reasonable price. The food is delicious with great serving, you typically only need to wait < 10 mins before your order is ready. There is parking next to the restaurant. Also, the atmosphere is great and the staff are really nice.

Pho family favorite! Every time we are in town we come straight to this place. Staff are so family friendly. Food has been amazing for the past 6 years; never disappoints! My go to is their Pho Chin, Nam, Ve Don which is Well-done brisket, well-done flank, and crunchy flank with extra lime squeezed. Everything is so fresh and homemade is at their best! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Overall great spot for Vietnamese food. Fresh and delicious. I like how they have a small bowl of broth on the side for their rice plates. It's a perfect pairing. The spring rolls are on point as well.

Really good food, portions and friendly service. We really like the Bun Cha Hanoi and would come back again for $18-19 per person. Great portions with plenty of meat, veggies and vegetables. This is one of the best Vietnamese places I gave eaten that is great quality, value and atmosphere. Highly recommend. The Che Thai dessert is pretty good too and not too sweet 😀

Albany Ao Sen easily serves up some of the best pho I’ve had in the Oakland area—rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The broth is packed with depth, and every bite feels comforting and authentic. On top of that, the wait staff is friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience feel smooth and welcoming. The food comes out impressively fast, which is perfect when you’re craving something warm and delicious. And don’t sleep on the spicy marinated chicken—it’s a hidden gem on the menu that deserves way more attention. Bold, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend!
