Pho Anh Dao

This is an OG spot in my neighborhood! The food and service are solid, so I see why they've been a food staple since I started living in Oakland a decade ago. The food is good! The space is clean! The service is even better. You can't go wrong here! Stuff is affordable!

I ordered a pho chay large with veggie broth for takeout, which was pretty reasonably priced, and was ready for pick up on time. They have the vegetables and tofu, noodles, and broth separately packaged so that you can put it together when you're ready and to avoid it getting soggy. I thought it was pretty good, the flavor was refreshing and not super strong but also not bland. Definitely felt nutritious and I'm glad they have a vegetarian pho. They are located very close to Lake Merritt as well.

For so long I've meant to patronize this business and finally, after discovering bahn mi sandwiches on the menu for a mere $8-9, I tried it. The inside is simple and clean. Once seated, about five minutes is given until they approach you to take the order. I've been here twice now. Both times I got a bahn mi (chicken and pork) plus a Thai Iced Tea. $14 and change! The sandwiches are good and the meat tastes fresh. This is now my bahn mi place in Oakland. Cash only.

Very nice guy, restaurant was empty Monday at 330pm. I ordered the chicken pho,it was ok not great and very expensive, just over $16 for a small. I wouldn't return, Pho Huong Que is my favorite, it's amazing and around $4 less, unfortunately they are closed through April 15th, no other pho places compare to their chicken pho. I know costs are up everywhere but some places flavors don't justify the cost.

Good price, nice options, and great food. Let's just say I would order from here again, I've ordered from all the other pho places on Door Dash and this one for some reason stands out to me a bit more than the rest. Ask for hot oil with your food.I ordered fresh spring rolls, which was fresh and the sauce was the one that made it amazing. At the other places, I usually get a pretty bland/ mediocre peanut sauce. Or their rice paper will be a little tough and/or there will be toouch veggies or noodle.Pho Dac Biet - flavorful broth, not cinnamon-y or like star anise, it was just right. Banh mi bo nuong - juicy and tender beef and balanced ingredients, not a dry banh mi. Thai iced ice - not too sweet, perfect actually and I love that I can taste the strong t0ea.Com suon heo nuong - comes with two grilled pork chops, needs more rice.I not only chose to order here because I tried all the other places around, but also because it has realistic prices on Door dash, I've seen places that charges $19 for pho, that's ridiculous. :(

I had to dash off to get a curbside pickup at a local store so I figured why not take the opportunity and get some takeout for lunch. Every trip out of the house these days is like an adventure.And it gave me great pleasure to anticipate writing a review of a new restaurant for me, and supporting a local business.Unfortunately all my usual restaurant favorites were closed on Tuesdays and I was, in particular, wanting something warm and comforting on a cold fall day. Somehow Pho seemed to fit the desire.Since I was going through this part of the 'hood' for my curbside pickup I decided to give it a try. I had passed it countless times and wondered if it was any good, as it appeared long established at this location.Finding a web site I found I could order online and get a time for pickup and everything done easily. BINGO! I like that convenience these days... so I put in an order and it promptly confirmed a 15 minute pickup time.I got to the restaurant and sure enough it was ready, as they had even texted me to let me know. Great. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant seemed super clean and although I am reticent to enter anywhere these days I didn't feel uncomfortable.There were few patrons at a couple of tables as indoor dining is allowed now, but very sparse for lunch.They packaged everything very well for travel and I was really pleased as sometimes with takeout orders it spills and tumbles around if not firmly packed.I got the Bun Bo Hue, a spicy noodle soup/pho with beef and lots of extras, veggies and herbs, bean sprouts and the usual toppings. It was delicious and definitely hit the spot! Yum! The broth was competent and smooth with just enough spiciness. The beef was super tender and perfectly prepared. There was plenty for two meals.My spouse got the Com Ga Nuong, a barbeque chicken and rice dish with vegetables/salad. It, too, was perfectly prepared and delicious and the portion also large enough for two meals.We also got the spring rolls with a peanut dipping sauce. The ingredients were fresh and the lettuce crunchy, but the only downside was that some of the rice paper wrapping was rubbery and overly chewy.Prices are very good and I'll gladly return for either more comfort warmth of pho, or try something else. Glad this place finally fell on my radar.

Ordered the extra large pho dac biet, the flavors of everything was great. The spring shrimp roll was super delicious, fresh and tasty! I love spring rolls, not the fried stuff. Fresh veggies, fresh ingredients and the peanut sauce was so freaking delicious!The beef pho was also great but the portions weren't that big. I got the extra large, but it seemed like a regular.

I love this place is you want fried rice or pho this is go too and the fried rice is better than the pho and I would never say that . Very clean they have every sauce you need on table please make sure you try a pinch of each. The service is so great friendly Faces with great energy . I always sit down and eat here cause it's that good to me it's going down there or in my car!! Cute for a little date too

Very disappointed about my grilled chicken, which is not grilled that's a lie, with dry chicken that seems like it's been sitting out and too much rice, disappointed, THE ONLY THING GOOD ON THIS DISH IS THE PLAN SALAD ..

Fresh vegetables, tender BBQ Pork, delicious prawns.Great service!Pleasant atmosphere and super clean bathroom!
