The food at this location maintains its quality, as expected from their chain. While it's a bit on the pricier side, I still find myself inclined to return thanks to their consistency and the overall experience

A great spot to get a quick bite to eat that is t too expensive as well. They have good portion sizes and the broth in the soups in not bad, a little oily but not bad at all. I like the option that they have egg noodles, and i would like a little more meat but that’s just preference. If you haven’t tried this place give it a go.Parking: Parking attached and street parking available in areaKid-friendliness: Kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Accessible and space to be comfortable

My kids are growing up on their Pho and Egg Rolls! Always consistent, clean and service is fast. Of course food is good, too!

I come here whenever I crave Vietnamese. My friend who grew up in Vietnam says this is her favorite spot. You know if it's recommended by somebody who grew up there, that it's really good. The service is always so fast and the portions are huge and the prices can't be beat. So much seating too and I've always been able to be seated even at busy times. Love pho king.

Solid Vietnamese food in Oakland. The pho soup is tasty and the noodles and meat are pretty standard. Pork chop is flavorful and comes with a side of soup along with some pickled veggies. Egg rolls were super fresh and crispy when they came out. I'm only not giving this a 5/5 because I've been to Vietnam and have had the best of the best Vietnamese food there but this is again pretty solid. Service is excellent. Their staff is friendly and attentive! Before the pandemic, it was always a super long wait but now I was able to walk up without waiting. Ambiance is clean and they have both outdoor and indoor seating. Pretty standard. Lots of tables!
Food wise, this place does great tasting pho and rolls. Sadly, I have a great disdain for places that make up the rules as they go. Another pet-peeve-- inconsistency.I've been here a lot over the years as I live in the neighborhood and pho is a definite go-to for me. I usually order the #10 XL size which comes with flank steak, well done brisket, and tendon. I get this and the fried rolls every time.The reason why I use to love this place was a good amount of meat and especially tendon! That's my jam! The XL bowl usually came with AT LEAST 3 good sized pieces. Tonight, there was 1 small a** booger floating around.I asked the server, are there supposed to be more pieces? She talks to the ppl at the counter and kitchen and reports back, "no, it's always been 1 piece." I told her every time I come I get the same thing, how is it always 1 piece? I also asked her for the regular, large, XL sizes, how many pieces of tendon are in each... "all of them, 1 piece." Huh... the logic is interesting, and it's interesting seeing as the last other times I've had much more than 1 piece of tendon (bc I assure you, if it was "just 1 piece" I would've stopped coming) (also, my Mom and I shared a regular size once, and we both got to eat 1 piece...so there was 2 in the regular size!)!!!She then says, oh you know, last time you came, someone probably made a mistake on your order and put more pieces. You know, because it was busy.I told her again, the last few times, it has been more than 1 piece of tendon in an XL order.I know I'm going on and on about tendon, but places that make up the rules as they go and then try to tell me some bs story really leave a s*** taste in my mouth. If you ran out or whatever the issue is, please, JUST BE HONEST!!!I love supporting mom and pop, Asian businesses, and it looks like I'll be supporting a different one from here on out. Sad bc I used to love this spot, but being lied to is just unacceptable.Please be consistent with your food!!!Please be honest!!! Stop being shady!!!

We went in as party of 3 around 4pm. Not very crowded so they served food fast within 10 mins.I knew they were famous for bun bo hue, mi quang but I have tried years ago so now I wanted something new.The bun mam was not good like I expected. It has 3-4 pieces of meat, 2 shrimps, 1-2 pieces of frozen squid, and 1 pieces of blood sausage which very pungent taste of smell that I could not eat. Also, it kind of salty. 2/5So far, the price was good/ affordable, friendly staff but quality for bun mam was not so much.

I stay coming here for their Bun Bo Hue. Their pho is okay, but the BBH is what they're known for. I used to go to their location on E.14 before they moved, and the quality remained consistent (the one that reopened on E.14 just isn't the same anymore). Pricing is very good considering how every other pho restaurants run you $18-$20 a bowl nowadays, but Pho King seems to average $13-$15. Portioning is just right. I usually get the large option for a dollar more because that just seems to be the smarter choice. Rice plates on the other hand, seem to be on the smaller size, so I wouldn't recommend that, but they have it as an option for those who really crave it. I like their three bean dessert drink a lot and it's a very good pairing while eating some spicy BBH. I'm a repeat customer and I won't be stopping any time soon.
