Pho Huong Que — Restaurant in Oakland

All I gotta say is be sure to check what they put on the receipt before you pay. Requested a simple rare steak Pho bowl which was fair in price and was flavorful. However the older woman whom took my order obviously wanted me to get the LARGE bowl when I ask for the small bowl because what do you know 5 minutes later what comes out is a LARGE order bowl. Me thinking this was a generous SMALL BOWL ate it without question. When I went to pay they seemed to send the young long haired girl to process my receipt via iPad tried to quickly push LARGE bowl and tacked on $3 for what idk when all I got was water on the side which to my knowledge is free. Difference was $13 total or $19 total difference is clear as day. I explained out loud so people could hear me and what was going on which I know is the proper way of not getting screwed over from shifty business practices like this. It's not the end of the world however please watch what's input on your receipts people they might tack on additional costs...

This spot was previously called Pho King or something or other, which had good food but looked pretty run down. This place has done a lot of remodel work and has upgraded the look and feel inside and out.

I got the grilled chicken rice plate, and like the prior restaurant, came with a small bowl of chicken pho broth, which scored points for me immediately. The menu is simple and has the standard options of pho, bun, salads and rice/meat combos plates. Everything was really fresh and quality. The rice plate was light, but a decent sized lunch. It came with marinated grilled chicken, a cup of white rice, and pickled cabbage and carrots.

The staff, who i assume were the owners, were really sweet and friendly. The place was short staffed the day and still got my food out in 10 munutes.

All around quality spot that I will...

This is my go-to Pho spot in Oakland!

Food - They are very generous with their protein and the broth is tasty. I always want to get Pho when I go here so can’t comment much on the other food, but they have a very decent sized menu. I actually really love their avocado smoothie. I think it probably has condensed milk in it or something. It’s definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. I also get the cafe sua da and it’s standard.

Ambience - It’s in an older building and could probably use an upgrade, but it gets the job done. I wouldn’t say it gives a very hip vibe or anything. It’s very standard and has all the utensils and space that you need to eat pho.

Parking - They have their own tiny little parking lot, so that’s convenient. The spots are kinda tiny, but there’s enough spots usually for you to not have to...
