Vietnam House

Here you gooo! Best pho in Alameda! The staff here always ready to make sure you have the best experience! I love this place!

The flavor is not bad. If only based on the food taste, it would be 4 stars. However, the portions are comically small. The Combo rice plate is portioned for a child. about a 1/2 of what you get from most Vietnamese restaurants. The Combo Pho is equally small. The dining space is an add-on room to the side of the building, and when you're sitting inside, it feels every bit like that. You don't really feel like you're inside a restaurant. If it was raining, you might still get wet. I needed a child seat for my 2 year old. They offer one that is a plastic booster seat strapped onto a dining chair. I think the owner hates everyone. When I asked for extra napkins on top of the 3 beverage napkins I was given for my family of 4, I was handed 2 more pieces of those 1 ply napkins.

Their chicken pho is the best I've had (and I'm from San Jose where Pho hub is). Spring rolls were not my fav! But I'll definitely be back when I'm craving for pho!

I love the repositioning of this hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant. It's still a casual sit down spot but it reminds me about the Vietnam experience so well. Though, the prices of increased for obvious economic trading, inflation, and better wages, Vietnam House still is one of my favorite Vietnamese spots in Alameda. I always order the same thing, chicken with vermicelli and an egg roll. It's a rare day where I found myself leisurely walking down Park St. craving Vietnamese pho. The service is genuine and the food is delicious. It was relaxing eating here at 3:30pm while the hustle and bustle is calm. Definitely hit the spot, thanks so much!! Happy Retirement, Auntie! Can't wait to see you all again!

Ordered a chicken bún for dine in. Strange that they'd serve that on a plate. Service was prompt but the lady who took our order and served us wasn't in a good mood. Maybe it's an off day for her. Ambiance? It used to be Wienerschnitzel and nothing much was done to it so.

This place "feels" like Vietnam. Especially during this heatwave season. I gave this place a visit for a banh mi and their signature coffee. It did not disappoint! It's a small corner cafe with not much seating but if you're able to have a sit down, you'll have an enjoyable afternoon. The location is kind of difficult to find parking for, but worry not they have their own lot which is tucked away on the side of the street.

Not authentic Vietnamese pho. Ordered a pho dac biet. Asked for XL but portions equals to medium bowl. The broth is very bland. They don't have tripe inside like an authentic bowl. Steak was well done already. Not much meat inside. You have to order at the register before sitting down. I requested for a cup of hot tea. The food came, waitress forgot my tea so I requested for my cup again and realize it cost $4 a pot which she did not mention at the register when I requested for the cup of hot tea. I just needed a personal cup so I got water instead. She returned right away with a cup of water in a paper cup. Ok, what an odd place. There are no sauce plates for you to use their condiments. You have to request it and they give you a large regular plate just for your sauce. If you want good authentic pho I suggest you go to pho king, ao sen, Hoang que, pho hunyh hiep in Oakland. This place is what I would define as tricking foreigners and people who don't eat pho much. Why did I come here then? To give this place a try after passing it many times and remembering it was once a weinerschntzel. Extremely disappointed and will never return.

I haven't been to Vietnam House more than 5 times but I can say every time I've been here I've enjoyed the food. The portions are decent for the price and it tastes good. They have seated dining after you order at the window. The seating area is enclosed and though I haven't been on a hot day, they have big windows they can slide to let air in. There's a designated parking lot which makes it more appealing to dine at because parking on park street can be tough. I remember when this place use to be a Weinerschnitzel and I'm glad they didn't tear down the whole building before another restaurant moved in.

Amazing noodles tender beef and terrific service. I tried two kinds of tea and I like the green and the Jasmine both.

Good hot pho served and other offerings. We we t here a few times and food is on point. Rated 3 due to table and area was cold and my soup lost heat quicker than we can finish it. The dining area needs attention. :)
