“Food was pretty tasty. Prices a bit inflated, overall service was speedy. Spoke to owner, he was super nice, told me they are opening another location next to downtown Pinole. I tried the vermicelli bowl- pretty good. Thought my egg roll looked more like a lumpia- lol. The kid ordered the tofu banh mi- not for me. I need my meat. I also ordered the shrimp roll- my fave- it was ok. They made the eat in area a lot smaller than previous owner. Ambiance was chill“
“We ordered 2 tofu sandwiches and veggie chow mein. The lady on the phone was very nice and accommodating. The food was hot and fresh with quality ingredients and delicious flavors. The price was good! The food was ready exactly when she said it would be. Take out only.“
“My wife and I came here on a rainy day while our son was at daycare. Lunch date. I got the #52 Beef Rib and Brisket (large) $14.70, and my wife got #18 Chicken Pho (large) $13.95. It's soooo good! I get this at least once every other week. The prices on the menu are not updated.“
“Yesterday I purchased a bunch of food i've never been to this place before. Brought it home and just yum yum all night long. The owners are beautiful people with their beautiful baby. And I am so proud of them. A young couple with a new business and a new baby can show people how it should be done. And the food was fantastic, the coconut prawns, The green curry either chicken and prawns over rice.I will be back. The restaurant was so clean. You can smell the bleach. I am so happy when I walk in and I can smell bleach. Knowing that the place is clean and sanitized.“
“I’ve only tried the chicken bahn mi and their Thai iced tea. Both very yummy and I recommend the bahn mi.. but I have an issue with how much ice they give you in the Thai iced tea. You basically only get a half cup of the tea. I will show a picture of what the cup looks like with ice taken out. And this is after I asked for less ice.“
“We have ordered takeout a few times, and find the food delicious and the prices good. And our dinner guests agree. The egg rolls are light and crispy, and packed carefully to stay that way. Everything was packed well in fact. I ordered the Korean style beef short ribs and was pleasantly surprised to see the portion was large. Enjoyed it. Shredded pork skin was part of the marinated charbroiled pork dish, interesting but a little bland compared to everything else. My husband enjoyed the baked egg cake that accompanied the pork and thought the pork's seasoning was delicious.“
“I've ordered takeout twice, each time getting the Beef Pho. Their broth is SO flavorful, everything is super-fresh, and they give generous portions. In addition, the staff is cheerful and friendly. It's a delight to get my food here!Parking: Parking is plentiful and large, but the location is a pain to access because you must enter/exit across traffic from Sereno Dr. It is inaccessible from Broadway.“
“This our go-to spot for pho. My usual is number 26- the seafood pho with rice noodles. I haven't tried anything else from here. It's a busy place but it moves pretty quickly.Parking: The parking lot is small and shared with the Plaza it's located in. We normally find parking there or nearby on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible and spacious to accommodate.“
“This newly remodeled gem is found at the old location of Pho #2 next to Jolibee/ Seafood City off Redwood. The food was excellent as usual! I got the Seafood Combo Pho and it was delicious on this cold night. It has ample amounts of mussels (which you never see at these spots), squid, shrimp and sliced crab cakes. The broth was piping hot and satisfying. The rice noodles rounded out a great dish. I see others get Oxtail pho and its humongous! Service is awesome (which is a pleasant surprise for a Pho place! Highly recommend!“
“I'm not a huge Pho fan but this spot changed my mind! I ordered the lunch special for $13. Well done thin steak pho with egg noodle instead of rice noodle that came with two veggie spring roll. The bowl came out super hot, very fresh tasting, clean tasting meat and the broth was extra flavorful! Not bland at all!! Definitely recommend to all friends and families!!!“
“You want hole in the wall with zero ambience but great food at excellent prices? This be your strip mall find. I can't say it's the best Banh mi ever. The bread is just not the perfect crunchy chewy and flavor needs just a bit more of a kick. But it's a hella good banh mi for the price and hits the spot. They don't take credit cards so be prepared with grubby cash. The other prepared items were yummier than the banh mi so I might just go for a salad or spring roll next time. Anyway, definitely worth it when you're hungry.“
“Food is delicious and prices are reasonable. But BE WARNED that the website for this restaurant is maintained by a third party (Simplemenu) that adds 15-20% to the price for each menu item for pickup and delivery orders. This upcharge is not separately identified or disclosed on the website. I pointed out this issue when picking up my online order. The cashier shrugged, was aware of the price difference, and explained that they don't run their own website. Try calling instead to get the actual menu price - although it's very hard to get anyone to answer the phone.“
“We came here for dinner and had a good experience. We ordered a Thai iced tea, special combo beef noodle soup, spicy beef noodle soup, and dry stir fried beef chow fun. Everything was delicious, and the service was quick and attentive. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. Overall a good experience!“
“I was feeling kind of sick and really craving some pho and this was the only place near campus, I’m so glad I went! The pho here is really delicious I came back the next day to get more. I’ve never been a big fan of pho but this was game changing. The workers entertained my different questions about the various dishes and checked in with me to make sure I like it. Highly recommend :)“
“Came here with my bf to eat before shopping at 99 Ranch. We ordered egg rolls for the appetizer. I got the rare steak & tripe beef soup w/ shrimp. BOMB!! My bf got pork rice plate which he also finished. I was so hungry I didn't get any pics :( Price is good and the food is really good too. I would recommend to try it. We'll be back.“
“Yes! Yes! Yes!Mouthwatering flavors and beautifully sweetened Thai tea. Every dish I ordered was made to perfection and the flavors were orgasmically on point.I am absolutely coming back to try more dishes.Charming little location with a unique exterior esthetic and they have a private parking lot. Worth a visit!“
“I’m coming back this place again when i am visiting Sydney from Melbourne.This is delicious spicy beef noodles soup and very special Vietnamese iced coffee.The food is delicious and the lady she is sweet talk and make me laugh alot.Good serviceHighly recommended if you like “ Pho “ or Vietnamese noodles soup styles.“
“Been here a few times, and each time the food has been great. I've tried their beef banh mi, egg rolls, spring rolls, calamari, chicken wings bun Bo hue and of course their pho. All have been pretty good, especially considering this is the ONLY local pho place that doesn't close super early when you need something warm and comforting after work. Notable highlights from the food- I must say, I've sampled some bun Bo hue all over the local area and this place is the best I've had without having to go all the way to Oakland. And even then, it's been just as good as some of the "famous" spots for bun Bo hue. The pho is always piping hot and they don't skimp on the meat!! They seem to hold the bowls in some kind of clay holder that keeps the soup warmer longer, which was a nice touch I've never experienced in a Vietnamese restaurant. Service, this is definitely a family restaurant of sorts and the waitresses/waiters are a little older and may need to be graced with some patience when you want to get their attention. But once you have it they're the absolute sweetest! Very kind and welcoming crew. The restaurant itself is nice and spacious with a few tvs to keep a single patron company while they wait for their meal, which never takes too long. All in all, this is a great stop to make when you don't want to travel too far for some good comforting food. I definitely plan on being a regular here!“
“I love this place, the workers are very nice and thorough, the food is great. I can't remember the young lady's name but she works on the night shift she is exceptional and I went there this past Monday and the young man was also great. Thank you for great service!“
“Very good food and service, people are very friendly.Fast service all the times that me and my family go to eat.I never wait to get seated .The appetizers fried chicken, spring rolls and fried shrimp is bomb .Vegetarian options: They have plates with lots of vegetables and option of chicken.“
“Another word of the contender for Pho, vermicelli combination bowls, and other Vietnamese delights. In the old location of bacheeso's, the brightly lit interior and glass windows give a lively feel to a place that has obviously been discovered by the local business people.Definitely worth a try if you're in neighborhood of Dwight and San pablo.“
“Food is flavorful and best drinks I've had in a long-time. Going back soon.Parking: In close proximity to housing neighborhood and I'm there is another restaurant in the same lot. It can get very congested and hard to find a spot. Go early.“
“Incredible experience, delicious food, fantastic atmosphere. Big thanks to the entire Vanessa’s team for making tonight’s event a special one. It couldn’t have been better!We had a group of 20 for a birthday party. Vi created a special menu for us. From the salad to the prawns, the garlic short ribs, to the garlic crab noodles, everything was impressive. They were even able and happy to accommodate some dietary restrictions.Again, thank you to the entire Vanessa’s team!Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian and pescatarian optionsDietary restrictions: They were cognizant of dietary restrictionsParking: Free street parking after 6p“
“Hmm... I thought I had submitted my first review for Pho TNT a few months ago. Long story short; happy to have Vietnamese style food that is ACTUALLY pretty good. Since Dec 2023, I probably returned at least five times. I yet to try everything on the menu; but most likely I will. Definitely recommend Beef Carpaccio (if you like raw beef salad), spring rolls are fresh as they make at order instead of storing in a fridge, papaya shrimp mango was delicious, pho ga is recommend when feeling under the weather also very good, jackfruit boba (recommends), and my very first time trying their "Say No More Combo" was really impressive and tasty. Will be trying their BBH next. Service is great as usual. Generous and thoughtful host. Parking is easy (which is also a plus 1; whenever I go somewhere). Hope to see you guys soon.“
“This is my type of place. It’s not fancy but sometimes that a clue to good food. In order a pork Banh Mi and a small cup of broth. Man that was delicious. Best part? $10 for a nice sized sandwich that fills you up. That’s so hard to find in the Bay Area now. Because the sandwich was $10 for that Banh Mi it makes ordering a side even more easy on the wallet. Next time I’ll go for the pho!“
“First time here, celebrating my sister's birthday and it was like we were kicking it at a friend's house! I was able to make a reservation one day in advance for 7 people during peak dinner hours, and even called the same day to change our time with no issues whatsoever. They accommodated us right away and sat us even without my whole party present. Someone had called out, but we never even felt like service was slow or anything. This is a family owned and operated business, and we really felt like we were a part of that. Granted, we had quite a few shots, so alcohol tends to loosen up people but even without that, the whole staff were cool as heck. The food was delicious. Calamari (forgot to take a pic) was light and crunchy, served with cocktail and tartar sauces. The garlic noodles were super flavorful and stayed buttery. Some places tend to dry out and clump up, but not these! The seafood boils also had tons of flavor and spice. Medium was about as much as I could handle. Lol I think my absolute favorite dish was the Player's Plate. It comes with garlic noodles, 5 Tony's wings, 5 prawns and a huge catfish filet. Best bang for your buck, in my opinion. I would get that next time we go. And a special surprise was Tony's Style (Berkeley) was in the building. They were temporarily operating out of the space, so we had to get the shrimp and crab baguette. All that cheesy seafood goodness went perfect with our shots. Lolol Needless to say, we took home lots of leftovers. We had a blast, and I hope yall have a great experience too.“
“We really enjoyed the food, wouldn't eat it as a weekend treat but found it hearty and healthy. Things we would definitely order again:Spicy pork with rice: although the broccolini has some very tough stems and was not the most enjoyable, my partner felt it was tasty and nourishing. He ordered it with double pork but wouldn't double next time because the portion of meat is enough for a dinner. He liked the vinaigrette sauce, which is not spicy, both of us enjoyed it. He preferred pork to chicken. Chicken bowl: the chicken was generally tender although with some gristly pieces. It has a marinade that is quite sweet, and the meat is cut in long spearlike chunks that are much more than a mouthful, so eating it with a fork is awkward. I didn't like the sweetness of the peanut sauce and it had an unpleasant aftertaste for me, maybe the herbs? But overall would eat chicken bowl again.Tofu bowl:Great fried tofu with lovely taste and texture. I liked avocado as an addition in all the bowls. The citrusy sauce was pleasant although very tangy, not as good as the vinaigrette to my taste. I also tried the Nam Nam sauce, which tastes strongly of mayonnaise, has a little kick but not too spicy, and was great as a dressing on the greens. I left cucumber and pickled vegetables out of my bowl and regretted it because they are both really good, cucumber is in thin julienne strips and pickled vegetables were tasty (mostly carrot and radish I think). I also loved the added omelet. Things we might not order again:The garlic noodles were a little sweet, not that exciting or craveable and tasted a little too much of raw garlic (we got them without the furikake topping,maybe they are better with furikake)The house FreshRoll was nothing very special, we preferred the bowls (to be fair though, we ate it the next day so maybe it's good when first made!)All in all a solid choice for healthy dinners.“
“This is an upscale version of a pho place, and so much more. For starters, there's air conditioning. And it has nice ambiance, with long share tables (good for groups!) as well as tables for 2 or 4. The menu is extensive, with all kinds of noodles and soups and noodle soups, and the food is very good. The pho broth is legit. There are the plates you'd expect, pork chop, barbecue chicken, etc. with rice & cucumber-carrot salad and a side of fish sauce. Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk served hot or cold, and even boba drinks like milk tea! For what it is, it's very affordable and I can't wait to go back.“
“I look forward to visits to Berkeley and my lunches at Camille Restaurant.I noticed improvements in service and quality of the food with the new management.I enjoy the many menu options and have not been disappointed with any of my selections.“
“Very good! Stopped in after a movie. The service was impeccable! It was my first time eating at this location and as soon as we walked in, they made you feel like they have known you forever or that we were regulars. I noticed that some regulars who walked in, they already knew what they were going to order and were greeted exceptionally well. The food of course matched the service. Was very good. Fresh and flavorful! I would go again for sure and recommend you eating there. Well done!“
“Got a bánh mì chả lụa (they call it a district 3 ? lol) and it was good! Normal and what you expect from a banh mi shop. What’s interesting about this place is their very lavish colorful names based off of areas of Saigon and other places in Vietnam for what would otherwise be pretty normal banh mis so it was a bit funny as a Vietnamese person but yeah. I also got the coffee which was quite good. Prices though… I mean it is Berkeley what can I say.“
“Fantastic and unexpected find! Hubby stopped to charge and we stumbled upon this established, but unassuming eatery that was simply fantastic! We had their house bone broth noodle soup and the pork belly - both of which wereIncredibly delicious. The 5-spice on the pork belly was terrific. Our server, Ryan, was knowledgable and proud of his family’s business, history and legacy…gave great recommendations. too! So delighted!“
“Looking for some good ole Noodle Soup comfort food and read the reviews about this place so thought I'd try it... I got the Wonton Noodle Soup with Egg Noodles. It came with a very generous amount of Shrimp & Pork Wontons with Sliced BBQ Pork on top with Bok Choy. De-lish!!!!! I also order the Egg Rolls but for $14 for 5 which came out to roughly $2.80 each and I thought it a bit pricey (maybe because I did a delivery order) but they were good! Over all this place is a little more pricier than other Vietnamese/Pho restaurants but the quality of food is superior! This place is definitely on my repeat list!“
“Pho is good quality, but expensive for what it was. It seems like a neighborhood place that was forced to up its prices but never did the same for the presentation or composition. Seems very legit, homey atmosphere, like in a past life I had come here every weekend with my family and bought the gacha toys from the dispensers.Parking: Around the north side, about 10 spots“
“Yummmmmmmmmmm!Vegetarian options: Almost any plate you can order without meat!Dietary restrictions: Make sure you communicate with your server!Parking: It's all street parking and since it's a busy street, their's always lots of vehicles parked, make time to get parking!Kid-friendliness: It's more of a family business so yes, it'd kid-friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't notice any accessible entrance for a wheelchair!“
“I can see why their wall is covered in awards for having the best Pho in town - it is incredible! They also have gluten free + vegan pho, so there is something for everyone, and the servers there are super sweet. This is my new go-to for Pho, 10/10 would recommend!“
“Bestie and I thought we could give this place a try! We always walk by this place when we get our usual drink fix at MIND Coffee. My friend got the Combo sandwich and I thought I'd give the Five Spice Chicken sandwich a try. We ordered it through DoorDash to pick up due to the usual long line of students ordering. It was fast and quick, but very small place. I usually only see two or three people working in there so please be patient due to it being small. My friend thought it was pretty decent for her combo sandwich; I thought the five spice chicken had a pretty good amount of flavor too. I still love me the Cam Huong chicken in East Oakland for their sandwiches though, but it's always good to try new places. I'd give 4 out of 5 for their sandwich. Service was okay; I assume it's because they have a lot to do and many people were waiting for their order.“
“Surprisingly good Pho! This is my go to spot for me and my friends/boyfriend/family if we want good pho and don't want to go far. Probably one of the better restaurants in Pinole in general.Their rice plates are okay but the Pho is much better and what we go for. I also like their fried shrimp rolls!“
