Pho Nation - El Sobrante

We were excited to see another Vietnamese restaurant pop up in the neighborhood. Pho Nation took over the spot that Cam Hong used to occupy.Inside has been modestly renovated. I like the two TVs they put in that are constantly showing videos of Vietnamese street food.The food:B 03 Grilled Pork Banh Mi - sandwich perfection - light, fresh, crispy bread. A ton of tender, wonderfully marinated pork. Possibly the best Banh Mi I have ever eaten.01 Pho Nation Combo 1 - Large - this might be more expensive than your average bowl of pho, but it is quite large. I liked the broth flavor and there was plenty of meat. Very happy with the pho here.S 01 Lemongrass Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - Bun Bo Hue - similar comments as above for size and amount of meat. We liked the flavor of this one as well and it's about a medium spice level.20 Combo Rice Plate - we liked some of the individual components of this dish - two pieces of fried chicken (drum and a flat), a very crispy egg roll, and a thin, but flavorful pork chop. Just didn't like this as much as the other dishes. Rice was also quite a bit drier than expectation.Very happy Pho Nation has come to the neighborhood. Highly recommend their noodle soups and Banh Mi!

I regularly drive by this place but only recently decided to stop in. This place has great food! Everything is so fresh and the portions are huge. I was amazed at how big the large pho was compared to the medium. But the medium size is large enough to be what I consider a large. We got Vietnamese sandwiches, the combo and the marinated beef. Both were delicious! The pho was wonderful too, with very fresh ingredients and homemade broth.The service is great and the owners are very very nice people. I told them I liked a lot of the pickled vegetables in my Vietnamese sandwiches, and they generously gave me extra in a Ziploc to take home!I'm definitely coming back and would like to try the other things on the menu.

Ordered takeout to give this new pho place a shot and was pleasantly surprised. Portions were very generous on my Pho #2 and grilled pork (thit nuong) rice plate. Grilled pork was nicely marinated, tender and juicy. Beef quality in the pho was top notch, very fresh and well cooked, especially the brisket. Pho Nation may have jumped ahead of Pho Craze in my pho rotation!

Unassuming Pho spot in El Sobrante. New ownership from previous restaurant at this location. Typical assortment of Vietnamese dishes. Regular size pho is fairly large. Good parking situation and about 6 tables indoors and some outdoor seating. According to the window, open 7 days/week. Pho combo 1 is a solid Dac Biet. Good broth. Grilled Pork Banh Mi is solid as well. Slightly crunchy bread but overall soft mouthfeel. Pork flavored well. I added pate to mine.Overall good spot to have.

Food was super delicious ! I asked for extra veggies and they gave me broccoli carrots cabbage and more ! Best pho place !! The place is super clean and customer service was nice ! I didnt get to take a picture of the pho because i had already ate it but i did take a picture of the rice plate that comes with chicken pork and shrimp !! Yummy so good!

Ordered on line, went to pickup up 25 minutes later all good.the gentleman behind counter was nice.

This place has changed hands a few times recently and I can honestly say the current rendition is a must! They have remodeled and looks really good. The food is delicious and the rice plates are hefty portions. Staff is great too. A real nice neighborhood restaurant!

New favorite banh mi spot in the area. Nicely toasted yet still soft bread, good pickles, generous portions.

Great taste with a new management. Shrimp rolls are good with great flavor. Set up is nice and casual. Good vibes.

In town for a week for a training and wanted Pho! Didn't see many reviews but pictures looked good. I had Pho combo 1 which was much bigger in person than I expected. The pho was good. The highlight was definitely the fresh spring rolls with the peanut sauce. Every bite had a piece of shrimp. I also got the deep fried shrimp which was good as well. The service was really good. I would definitely go back for the spring rolls. They have tried to update the building and have added technology such as touch less payment and sealed Thai tea.
