Pho King

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.

If you want authentic Vietnamese food, Pho King is the best. Great service, quick delivery of food. You can taste the long boiled bone broth in the Pho. Best noodle soup in East Bay. Best appetizers as well. Restaurant is clean and bright. Small parking lot in the back.

Ever since I moved from San Jose to the East Bay, I've been on a mission to try all the Vietnamese spots in Oakland. Bun Rieu is my favorite Vietnamese dish, so I ordered it since some of the reviews on here say it's good. The Bun Rieu was delicious and I like it because there's a variety of toppings in the bowl. The only good Bun Rieu I've had in Oakland is at Da Nang, which is across the street. I'll say this place is tied with Da Nang. Pho King I like because of all the variety of meats they put in it and it's flavorful. However, the broth is oily and the tofu was chewy. The tofu should have more of a sponge texture. The broth at Da Nang tastes better and they provide a variety of veggies to put in your Bun Rieu. Da Nang Bun Rieu I would say is more authentic to what you would find in Vietnam. The service was great and the owner was friendly.

Yummy pho with large portions. I got a small and they packed it with lots of noodles and meats. The meats were all tender and the broth was very flavorful. Quick and efficient service. You pay at the counter after your meal. Went around 10am on a Sunday and was seated immediately. Clean restaurant and nice staff!

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with my husband and friend and ordered a few items. The service was quick and friendly. I also like how they offer parking in the back especially in little Saigon. Our table ordered, a dry vermicelli with bbq pork, bun bo hue, pork ribs rice plate and a bbq pork and pork cake rice plate. The total was around $70 for 4 items which is honestly a good deal with the amount of food given. I also recommend the bahn xeo as it is nice and crispy with lots of fresh veggies on the side. Inside is clean and has your typical pho shop interior.

Fast and delicious lunch. I ordered number 21 the cold bun pork and egg roll vermicelli noodles, great on a hot day along with egg ice coffee. The egg lends the drink a creaminess and saltiness, a must try! Service is fast and quick.

I've had many pho everywhere and this place was off. The pho soup was average and the bun Bo hue was very tasteless / bland, a bowl of warm water. The nem nuong (pork spring roll) was 95% veggie and a small sliver of meat for $9 (see picture).

Went to Pho King on a Sunday with a party of 9. The staff was so friendly and accommodating of my large party (I called a few days before to let them know we'd be coming around 12:30pm). Best part is they had a parking lot -- it's so hard to find parking in Oakland near the lake sometimes Food was pretty solid! We got the fried egg rolls with pork inside for the table and I got the Bún bò Huê. I ordered a small and still had leftovers, pricing was also super affordable.

Let's say this was our second best pho spot in Oakland since the other spot we normally go to was temporarily close until further notice. We was seated right away even tho it was full house, perfect inside out I really like how outside seated was perfect for those who would prefer a quiet spot to enjoy your delicious food honestly we was there it was pretty loud inside, after we order food came out perfect very hot as I like it since some place serve warm broth, the broth was very good more on star anise flavor but it don't bother me much, restroom was nice, it's located in a shopping center so very busy and next to other restaurants like boba etc. I like how you can see little bit down town from view and the lake near by. I would definitely come back but maybe try other dishes that were listed which they have options. I'm not from around here so this was worth the time here.

The broth for both was bland and sweet, pho broth has more spices flavor, the bun bo Hue was just salty and sweet. The restaurant is located in a very ghetto area, but they have good parking in the back since the front street parking was sketchy. Service is decent. They gave you free hot tea. The food was a bit disappointed since this place was known for one of the oldest Vietnamese restaurant in Bay area.
