Pho King — Restaurant in Oakland

I was lowkey a bit worried about the post where someone said he was worried about the car break-ins, but it turned out the area has cleaned up a lot and honestly I didn’t feel it was dangerous. But I guess still watch out for car break-ins regardless in Oakland.

The chicken pho is the best chicken pho I’ve had in a while. My friend got a seafood pho and it was phenomenal as well. He said it reminded him for Hokkaido seafood ramen, which I consider a high form of compliment.

We both really enjoyed our pho. The soups are flavored so well, the chicken pho was better with their house made chili sauce. Kind of surprised that this place is not known to many people still.

It’s not a fancy restaurant but it’s the kind of restaurant I like the most - your mom and pop community restaurant that just serves really good food with good price. Most of the people there seemed to be regulars. People were chatting and having fun, which I loved to see. Will come...

There are two Pho King restaurants within a few blocks of each other and of them, I was pleasantly surprised at just how different their offerings were. Here at the one near Clinton Park, I tried their Pho Dac Biet and BBH. The broth for the pho was light and well-complimented once fully garnished. I found that the further into my bowl I worked, the more complex the flavors became. It has a nice mouth feel with plenty of fatty oils sitting atop the bowl. Very delicious. BBH was really authentic as well, with pork trotter, blood cubes... these items often get missed but are important elements of the dish! Happy they were included here. The portions were generous, and I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, seemed pretty neighborhood driven and the service was friendly. Definitely...

We have loved this restaurant for over 20 years. The quality and flavor of the food is exceptional. My husband is Vietnamese and we have lived in Vietnam so we know what we're talking about. I love to order Bun Thit Nuong... which is marinated grilled pork over vermicelli rice noodles with fresh herbs and salad. My husband loves their soups. Today he Bun Ba Hue, which is a spicy beef soup from the Hue region of Vietnam with rice noodles.

This restaurant does not have an affiliation with the other one by the same name next to...
