Sign in to reviewI’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!
Excellent Vietnamese food. I've especially enjoyed their vermicelli salads (I like the bbq pork and shrimp with a roll) and the pho (haven't found a combo I don't like). Don't expect service with a smile, but at least the place has a cozy vibe.
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 :)
