This place is soo good. Way better than ao sen. The hours suck cuz I can't have it for dinner. Parking sucks cuz it's near the homeless. But this is Oakland food.

Really tasty and the servers were super nice! We got the seafood hu tieu and the com tam plate and both dishes were great. Will be back to try more

Bomb Pho! Exactly the kind of hole in the wall spot I love to discover.

First time here based on recommendation from a friend.
Hu Tieu Kho was delicious! Reminds me of the savory dry wonton noodles except that there’s no wonton but there are quail eggs, fried pork skin, slices of pork, shrimp and pork giblets. Together with the beef soup, it hit the spot on a cold day.
Cha Gio was crispy, and the filling was tasty. Some places have fried spring rolls that are on the mushy end and that tends to be very oily. But not here.
Com Tam (broken rice) plate was yummy. The pork chop was tender and flavorful. The steam pork egg was excellent - many places serve this too but they tend to be dry. But it was juicy, tender and full of flavor here.
Only thing that we didn’t like here was their slice steak pho. It may be personal preference as the soup had a strong taste of a spice or herb that we are not used to and so it threw us off from the usual pho.
Will be back for more Hu Tieu Kho, Cha Gio and Com Tam.
Parking is tight and it’s the party Oakland where you have to be careful.

Came here with my friends and there was no wait to get seated here at noon on Saturday.
Good: - The food was amazing- I was surprised how much I liked the Hu Tieu Kho - I've heard about how good it was from other reviews but didn't realize it was THAT good. The soup was amazing - the amount of saltiness was perfect. Get egg noodles and larger size! Well worth. - The prices and portion sizes are great - we got a ton of food for only $20 each - Super clean and modern interior inside
Bad: - The place was in a fairly sketchy area but other than that the experience was pretty close to perfect
Overall would come again, still thinking about the food today!

Arrived at 3 pm when they'd shut down early due to the fact that it was new years day. They opened up for us and were very gracious and attentive. Festive atmosphere and quite clean. Bo kho was delicious with tender beef chunks.

Absolutely wonderful food, and very nice people. Epic goat soup

Just a fantastic little Vietnamese spot. While their pho is fantastic, and well worth ordering, the menu also features less standard fare like goat soups and various other specialties (I love the peanut noodle soup, which I order with mixed noodle). Efficient, friendly service and a clean, simple atmosphere.

Best dry Noodles in the Bay Area hands down! Quality and sauce is to perfection not like most place is too salty or sweet. Pho quality is also a hit and broth is on point as always. Spring rolls was fresh and thick perfect for dipping the most delicious peanut sauce. Perfect balance and a Must try and not to mention the service is always 5 Stars ⭐️!

Goat Noodle Soup — a rare-find. Not funky, but deeply savory (slightly medicinal) broth perfect for reviving from a hangover or when in need of a healthy pick-me-up. Served with fresh chrysanthemum greens for a refreshing bite. Tender meat, boiled to perfection.
Very clean and tidy interior and bathroom. Popular with the second generation crowd.

Delicious pho tai!!! 10/10, affordable, fast service, friendly. I’ll be back. But the chili oil is super spicy so beware!
