Had a chance to revisit as we were in the area. The seasonal Bun Bo Hue was delish. Spicy and full of flavor.
I went for the monster pho – the house special with all the meats. My friend always says you can tell a good pho by the broth, and this one? Clear– not like those murky ones you get sometimes. And it tasted amazing! Noodles were perfect, and all the meat was fresh and cooked just right – especially the tendons, loved those. Then, I had the fried bananas with ice cream. Those were awesome! They’re like, little banana egg rolls shaped like mini tabletop footballs, and they’re sweet and crunchy and just perfect with the ice cream. I’m getting those again.
Loved the robot waitress! And that dessert—-Pandan Leaf Coconut Waffle Ice Cream thing- wow! It was my first visit and I can’t wait to go back again!

Sorry to say that after becoming a regular here since fall, I will not be back. I called ahead for pickup today and the worker on the phone rushed me. I wanted fried vegetarian egg rolls, but he kept saying “tofu.” I corrected him several times, saying “vegetables,” and finally he said, “yeah, yeah.”
20 minutes later, when picking up my order, I asked again if my eggrolls had vegetables in them and the worker said yes. I asked if hoisin and sriracha sauce for my pho order were in the bag and he again said yes.
Arrived home 30 minutes away to find I’d been given tofu spring rolls, not fried vegetarian rolls. Also there was no bag of mung beans, jalapeños, basil and lime includee for my pho, even after I had asked. And of course, no hoisin or sriracha sauce packets.
I called the store and the manager proceeded to tell me that I needed to know exactly the names of all the items on the menu and order very precisely because staff are not allowed to ask customers for clarification as they “got in trouble in the past.” He argued with me for 5 minutes and put me on hold supposedly so he could find something to take down my info. After a couple of minutes of this nonsense, I hung up.
In the end I sat down to a lonelyand cold bowl of chicken pho without condiments of any kind. Counting in the tofu rolls, which i am not going to eat, I paid almost $40. So… almost $40 for a bowl of pho without condiments. And the broth tasted like sugar water, too sweet.
I let the manager know I’ve been happy with their food quality in the past, but the experience today is a non starter. Not going back.
The whole staff is amazing and kind and the owner Tee truly loves on everyone that comes through and upholds his community through good times and bad. If you enjoy pho, banh mis, and delicious Vietnamese desserts there isn’t a better place to come in Oakland.
