Customer Reviews
I’ve been here for lunch a few times now and it’s become a reliable favorite. I really appreciate that they offer a small size for their pho; the Pho Tai (small) is my go-to. The flavor is incredibly comforting—it might not be "Michelin star" complex, but it tastes like a warm, home-cooked meal made by family. Plus, the service is consistently fast and very welcoming to solo diners. I'll definitely be back!
The restaurant is located at the corner of San Pablo and Dwight, and you will need to find parking. It’s got good vibes- spacious, airy and clean. We tried the house Pho (with everything in it) so while the broth was “clean” and okay, it didn’t really stand out and wasn’t hot enough to my liking when served, but it was still good. We also ordered three other dishes and really enjoyed them too, and we would like to try other dishes next time. I recommend this place.
We were feeling a bit under the weather and decided to get some pho. I ordered the Pho Combination, which came with rare steak, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe and beef ball, and along with a side of bean sprout, jalapeno, lime and basil. The broth was really good, the meat was tender, and the portion was generous. Highly recommended!
I went into this restaurant on a whim, while in town for another business. The inside is not what I expect of a Vietnamese restaurant but that's a good thing in this instance. The decor is woodsy and because of the tall windows, a lot of natural light makes its way in, creating a very comfortable environment to eat in. I was immediately greeted by the staff and the overall service was what is expected out of Viet restaurants. The food was delicious! First time I've had the pork spring rolls in a restaurant setting. The fish sauce that accompanied it was perfect. The large bowl of pho dac biet satisfied my cravings for the day and then some. It had everything, including tendon, which you don't really see in the bay area, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Definitely recommend! I got the turmeric chicken Bahn Mi and it was fantastic. The chicken itself was so flavorful and wasn’t dry at all. The servers were all very nice and the restaurant itself is very clean and has a great vibe. Looking forward to coming back next time I’m in the Bay Area :)
