Pho King

Pho King, nestled by the lake in a small shopping center, is a must-visit spot. I tried the #12 Chin Nam Ve Don--a pho with tender brisket and skirt steak in a rich, flavorful.The real highlight, though, was the bánh mì. The freshly baked bread was light and crispy, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and delicious. Easily one of the best bánh mì sandwiches I've ever had. If you're nearby, don't miss it!Also the lemonade is made fresh . Service was extremely fast .Great spot to eat .

Great spot if you're in a hurry for lunch! I swear our food came like 2 minutes after we ordered haha. 3 sizes of pho to choose from for reasonable prices, but unfortunately skipped the coffee because I think $7 is a bit steep :cAlso it's great that this is located in a plaza with a parking lot. I cannot street park for my life, especially in Oakland

Pho King is a good pho spot! We were trying to expand our options by trying a new Pho spot (usually we go to Pho Huong Que). This place is a solid alternative. We liked the pho - got the large and they are definitely generous in the amount of noodles (but sad to say, I don't think the meat is particularly proportionately increased).That being said, a solid pho spot if you're looking for something somewhat affordable and tasty (without feeling thirsty afterwards!)

Haven't hit up all of the local pho spots but this has to be the quickest one I've had recently. The staff came back with our orders within minutes. Very pleasantly surprised because the restaurant was busy too. I mean it's all in the preparation right? Overall, a solid pho option for single diner to small groups. I have no complaints whatsoever.

It's been a minute since I've been over to this side of Oakland, driving by Lake Merritt to the right. Meeting at the popular Pho King for lunch, I noticed a few other cool establishments in the bizz center while parking like Merritt Cocktail House and Rise and Grind Coffee. This area seemed bustling on a Friday afternoon, and that was really nice to see!We ordered Thai teas and the Papaya Salad with shrimp to start. Such a beautiful presentation ~ so fresh, packed with flavor, and deliciously ample shrimp adorned on top of the salad bed. Would def get again. While this spot is known for their soups, I ordered the Grilled Chicken & rice plate. Again, so flavorful and really great portions. The meat was clean and enjoyed the marinade, and the accompaniment on the plate satisfied every morsel! Service was excellent ~ friendly staff, super quick, and great value overall for portion size and happy tastebuds! Would love to come back and try more Vietnamese staples and treats. Well done, Pho King!

The place to come for a heart warming bowl of soup! Bun Bo hue is flavorful as well as their mi quang. Got the regular and vegetarian mi quang, vegetarian one came with lots of veggies and tofu. Wished there was just a little more meat in the regular as I feel like they used to put a bit more. Spacious interior with outside seating and food comes out relatively quick!

I went here last night and if you ask me i didn't like it. I ordered the chiken pho and veggie spring rolls. My man ordered the bon hue. My chiken pho was so bland from the broth to the Chiken itself! The broth is always key for me and this one had no flavor. As soon as the server said you need to add salt to the Chiken pho i knew that it was going to be bad. You should never have to add salt to a chiken pho! The veggie spring rolls were ok but the peanut sauce had NO flavor either. The chili oil was bland and not spicy either. I tried my man's soup and it was definitely not spicy and not good either. I wanted a beer and they didn't have any. Needless to say I will not be back.

I already loved them when they were still in that tiny little space close to E14th. Their Pho has always been stellar and I also like the vermicelli bowls. But I always come for the pho. The husband, who is not a soup lover, is usually happy with his rice plate. The last time, his chicken as well as the rice was a bit dry. But my daughter loved her chicken noddle soup. Can also recommend the smoothies.It's sometimes a bit difficult to communicate, at least with one of their servers, who is not very fluent in English. But we manage by talking with our hands ;-)

My go to beef and egg roll bun is so good. I had the egg coffee too for the first time. Coffee is strong but creamy because of the egg. Service is always friendly and fast!

Pho was well salted and I like salty food. In a perfect world the broth flavor could have been better. Meat and noodles were very good. Price point fair.
