Pho Anh Dao — Restaurant in Oakland

I remember going to this place when they just opened and I was still eating meat. The inside hasn't changed much but the menu definitely has. For one, they are definitely more vegetarian friendly but unfortunately the food actually has gone down. I've had better vegetarian food elsewhere. The waiter today was also very interesting. When I came in, I told him there were a total of 7 of us. He still insisted on seating us at a table that only fit 6 so we needed to pull a chair up at the end of the table. The restaurant only had one other table in there when we entered. I didn't feel like arguing with him so I said ok fine. He then proceeded to bring out only 5 cups of water instead of seven. I told him I needed two more water and it took him a while to get us the water. When I ordered, I told him I wanted one pho with beef balls and one with cha (pork cake). He looked at me all weird and said they didn't have that and cha only goes into their bun bo hue. He proceeded to tell me that I won't taste good like that. I gave him this look and basically told him give me two beef balls noodles and substitute one beef balls with cha. I also told him that it wasn't that complicated to do. He then finally relented and agreed. I won't be coming back here once pho king opens in August. There food is so much better and the service is...

Delicious Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered chicken broth noodle soup with sunny side up egg on the side. along with spring rolls filled with tofu rice and noodles

Spring rolls are similar to egg roll except spring roll is a rice circle that you damp with warm water then added ingredients and rolled to perfection Along with a side of fresh bayleaf jalapeno slices bean sprouts

Great atmosphere and great hospitality If you're visiting for the first may i suggest you stay at the Waterfromnt Hotel there at Jack London

Jacck London got it's name after Jack London famous writer

Check out the local eatery's at Jack London .

and if you're in the mood for family fun🤗 there is themovie theater regal 9 orFairyland at Lake Merrit it's a petting zoo for children then have lunch at Pho Anh Dao Vietnamese Cuisine also they serve American Cuisine 🙂

I highly recommend you catch a Lyft or Uber car service or walk pending if you're up for 1/2 miles hike

You can't get lost walking Take it from me I depend on walking or public transportation there s also historical Lake Merritt Lake Merrit is man made lake built in 1800s or so... The Lake is seawater That comes from the bay the Lake has low and high tides Try to go to Lake Merrit when there's no Low tide I'm still learning that one☺️ that's on the way to the Pho Anh Dao List...

Yesterday, my sister and I went to this eatery. We placed an order for two bowls of pho and one serving of spring rolls. Initially, the service was satisfactory. To be completely honest, the soup tastes like canned food. This is the worst bowl of pho I've ever had. We chose to stay there for about an hour, and a Vietnamese man arrived to ask a waiter in Vietnamese, "Oh, that 2 girls only eat 2 dishes, why they keep sitting there?" I'm not sure if he was the owner or what. Don't get me wrong; this guy was attempting to communicate with us in Vietnamese. Don't get me wrong, this person was attempting to communicate to us, not the waiter; we were communicating with each other in Vietnamese. I think they are Vietnamese, thus they must be familiar with Vietnamese culture, even if their knowledge is limited. I may be able to understand, but constantly someone rude like that owns a restaurant. However, their cuisine isn't that great, and the service, as I already mentioned, isn't worth it. You could travel a little bit to San Leandro or Hayward for better food and service with that...
