We have lunch at this place on weekends when we have occasion to shop at Berkeley Bowl. The prawn rolls, spicy tofu rolls are excellent. We typically order either the chicken pho or the more standard pho with beef brisket. To me, either of the pho's are very good. I have also tried the Vietnamese salad and the Vietnamese dish with grilled beef on top of vegetables; all very good except the salad can be a bit tart (ask the wait person not to dress the salad...do it yourself)....read full review

A good selection of quick, tasty, healthy lunch specials for about $12. I like the vegetable pho and the vermicelli bowl; have tried some other dishes that are also good. Opens at about 11:30 and gets pretty full by 12:30... But usually quiet by 2.
