Great food, cozy atmosphere, friendly service, family meal vibes. My partner is Vietnamese and very picky with pho, this is our go-to spot in the East Bay.

Have not been pho king for few years because move to another city. Use to be one of the best place for bun bo hue ,but is average now. The tast is not there. And got reaction from the msg for few hours.

My parents go regularly to this restaurant for breakfast, and every time I’ve been available I also go with them. Their pho broth is delicious without anything added, and they give you a healthy side of greens to make the dish even better. My dad religiously gets the bun bo hue and nothing else. The staff are very nice and service quick. Highly recommend!

We have loved this restaurant for over 20 years. The quality and flavor of the food is exceptional. My husband is Vietnamese and we have lived in Vietnam so we know what we're talking about. I love to order Bun Thit Nuong... which is marinated grilled pork over vermicelli rice noodles with fresh herbs and salad. My husband loves their soups. Today he Bun Ba Hue, which is a spicy beef soup from the Hue region of Vietnam with rice noodles.
This restaurant does not have an affiliation with the other one by the same name next to Lake Merritt.

Just had late lunch there with my mother. It was delicious. My had the Pho and I had the veggie soup, both very tasty and fresh. The staff was super friendly and the place was clean. I highly recommend! And we will be back :)
This restaurant moved to 207 E 18th St, Oakland, CA 94606. Google seems to be incapable of removing this address. It shows both the old and the new address in search for "Pho King" results for Oakland. The restaurant is a great low frills Vietnamese restaurant. If you see this review, please add an edit to the 638 International Blvd location asking for that location to be removed. Why do they need to keep a location that says "permanently closed." Just remove it entirely!!

I was lowkey a bit worried about the post where someone said he was worried about the car break-ins, but it turned out the area has cleaned up a lot and honestly I didn’t feel it was dangerous. But I guess still watch out for car break-ins regardless in Oakland.The chicken pho is the best chicken pho I’ve had in a while. My friend got a seafood pho and it was phenomenal as well. He said it reminded him for Hokkaido seafood ramen, which I consider a high form of compliment.We both really enjoyed our pho. The soups are flavored so well, the chicken pho was better with their house made chili sauce. Kind of surprised that this place is not known to many people still.It’s not a fancy restaurant but it’s the kind of restaurant I like the most - your mom and pop community restaurant that just serves really good food with good price. Most of the people there seemed to be regulars. People were chatting and having fun, which I loved to see. Will come back again soon.
Good service and friendly and soup is delicious
