Pho Hoa Lao

It's lunchtime again at one of my favorite lunch spots. The fun is good here absolutely delicious. It comes out nice and hot. I ordered steak and tri-tip with the side of pork chop over rice.. and my food came out nice and fast. I love the service here.

I suppose it's not that unusual for a restaurant to deny restroom use unless you are a customer. I said I would buy an appetizer to go then and was told "cash only" when I brought out my debit card. I was offended by the unwarranted hostility I encountered at this restaurant.

We call this place bollards! I get the 22 small, fresh spring rolls, and a small pot of tea and everything is always delish. I appreciate that they give you a ceramic cup for your hot tea (no plastic for me) and always serve the food quickly. I wish it weren't cash only but I know that before I go so it's all good. I'd recommend if you're looking for some good pho.

Been going here for several years as they are very consistent. The service is average but they are very fast. Since the space is quite large, we were seated immediately, orders taken quickly, and food served within 5-10 minutes. #33 Steak & Brisket Pho* 3.75/5 stars* Broth is very hot and steaming, has a nice aroma* Good amount for a regular size* Nice proportion of noodle to meat* Meat is not high quality, very toughOverall a solid bowl of pho but not the best.

I recently tried the Number 1 Special combo at Phở Hòa Lão Vietnamese Restaurant, which includes a mix of ingredients like rare steak, well-done brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and spring rolls. The pho was satisfying but not exceptional. It's a good spot to curb your pho craving. The standout was their fresh and generously portioned spring rolls, accompanied by tasty peanut sauce. *Keep in mind, this place is cash only.

Since changing my positions at my job, having pho when you want is far and few. Being that I haven't been able to go for 6 months and you walk in and you're greeted like you just came in the day before is the best kind of service. Even remembering your order. My go to is the 16. Rare steak with tripe, steak on the outside. I prefer the steak to be rare and tender. The broth is always clear and perfectly seasoned. So perfect you don't really have to add anything to the broth. I tend to side bowl a little hoisin and sriracha to put on each bite to be able to savor the broth as is after. My coworkers have ordered other items and really enjoyed their meals. I think you'll enjoy anything you order. We haven't had a bad meal yet. Side note cash only.

Hi everyone I'm Erick with Stoneitup on Yelp & bayareastoneitup on Instagram for more contenT. This Pho house is one of my favorite joints in Oakland, they might as well call it the STONEITUP special when I order, so what I do is order pho with nothing but the tendons, noodles and please don't skip out on the greens they give you on the side. If you ask me I think that's one of the power sources in the soup so I always break them up and in the pho and down they gO!Order a generous LARGE so you can take a bit for lunch time to double the joy & experience and also save you some money on lunch timE!Ambiance is very peaceful, especially if your not Asian right, it's like if your not even therE!

Came to eat here with my dad and my boyfriend on a weekday morning. It was quite empty with tons of seating. There was plenty of parking as well. The employees greet you in and are there helping around from time to time so service was great. We got the pho Dac Biet Bo Vien and there were so many toppings. We got tons of noodles and meat. Inside there were mostly just seating so not much on the walls. The pho broth was delicious and clear. They gave us hot tea and a ton of pho toppings. If you're nearby, I would recommend this location to grab a bite to eat.

Not sure if it's cuz we went earlier than rush crowd.. but first there was a lady bug in our soup. Then a fruit fly. So be careful eating here?We didn't make a big stink outa it .. things happen. Take out container is $0.6 (which was also super dirty, we had them switch it out twice)Food portion is generous and fast service. I do like that they have a parking lot.

Literally so good!!! This is my family & I's favorite pho restaurant - we've been coming here for YEARS and they never disappoint. Everything is so reasonably priced. Haven't came back here in like 3 months and was in a food coma after eating!! The only sucky thing is that you have to pay for takout boxes/containers so we always bring our own here :(
