Pho Tasty — Restaurant in Berkeley

They could use more meat in a beef filet mignon dish. We got the filet mignon over rice and although both the rice and the meat tasted delicious there just wasn't that much meat in total for the price that we paid. I actually asked if there was more meat in their filet mignon over vermicelli dish but I was told it's the same amount of beef exactly. Service was good but not perfect because a few times we had to get their attention to get more drinks. The interior seemed nice but I'm not a fan of a big bright TV on a relaxing dinner meal. If it was up to me I'd replace it with a nice fish tank that helps set a more relaxing mood.

Definitely going to be my go-to pho spot for sure.

A super legit and delicious Vietnamese restaurant in Berkeley. Definitely our go-to for local Vietnamese along with PhoSho Dough and Eating Saigon! The broths for our soup were super flavorful and you can taste all the different spices. Banh xeo crispy and delicious. Have been here at least a few times and consistently good each time. Ambiance is nice too. Viet parents also approved of the dishes they got. Prices are very reasonable!

If you have a problem with the prices only bc you’re used to Viet food being inexpensive, please consider how workers can make a living wage with that expectation in the Bay and why you think Viet food should be...
