[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very homey feel and family friendly atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Small parking lot connected to the restaurant, or street parking. It's a sit wherever you like setting and service was quick! Got the pho #1, egg rolls, and chicken wings. Pho #1 {5/5}: Great service size, piping hot, and had a great variety of protein/toppings. The flavor was great, just a tiny bit too salty. Egg rolls {4.5/5}: Freshly fried with good ratio of filling. Chicken wings {3.5/5}: oily, but good garlic flavor and fish sauce marinade. read more

Came in craving a legit bowl and Pho Huong Que delivered. Ordered the #4 Rare Beef and Brisket Combo and the #21 Mixed Beef Combo. Both came out steaming hot with a broth that's rich, clean, and well seasoned. Rare beef cooked perfectly from the heat of the broth, brisket had that melt in your mouth pull you want. The #21 is the move if you want variety in one bowl. Portions are generous, service is quick and no nonsense. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Space is a bit tight when it fills up but for the price and quality Pho Huong Que holds it down in Oakland.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back. read more

The pho, the rice plate and the bun were delicious! It's been a while since I enjoyed these dishes so much that this will now be my go to place and my recommended place for these entree. The pho was right on. Piping hot soup that didn't cool down until after you're done even on a cold day. That's just perfect for the wintery weather. The soup was so good - the right amount of aromatics and the beef flavor. And it wasn't overly oily. The amount of meat to noodle ratio was perfect, and I would even dare say I felt there was a lot of meat for a regular bowl of pho that I didn't end the pho with just noodles but had meat to go to the last bite. The rice plate, where we had pork chop with fried spring rolls was yummy! The pork chop was well seasoned that my kids ate it without complaining anything about it. Some places use black pepper and even too much of it to potentially cover up for lack of flavor or perhaps low quality meat. The fried spring rolls were delicious and not too oily either. The bun though with good amount of fresh greens was still a very filling bowl with the amount of meat, spring roll and noodles. The taste of it with the fish sauce was reminiscent of bun in Vietnam. The only thing that ok instead of being amazing was the marinated fried chicken with sauce as it was on the spicier side with the fresh chili and the marinate didn't seem to penetrate into the chicken well enough. Service was reasonably fast, but then again we were there before the restaurant filled up starting at 7pm. read more

12/10. Pho never fails to make me happy, but this place was especially impressive. What stood out to me was that the noodles were SLIGHTLY chewier than normal, which elevated textural contrast. Of course, the broth was the star of the show, which we were able to smell before we even entered the restaurant. My boyfriend, who is a San Jose native (aka pho expert), also approved. Meat quality could have been a little better, but this is only if I HAD to nitpick at something. read more

We were craving some spring rolls and decided to try this restaurant out. We ordered through the phone for pick up. There is a parking lot. We got the shrimp spring roll and the nem ones. They were pretty decent for their price. I really liked their peanut sauce that they have on the side for you to dip. We also got the wings. These were delicious! Very crispy if you eat it fresh. read more

Got the Bun Bo Hue here and was disappointed as an avid BBH enjoyer. It tasted a bit bland (like maybe it wasn't brewed long enough?) and it lacked spice. When I ordered, they had messed up my order and gave me pho instead of Bun Bo Hue. I should've just eaten the pho instead of asking the server what happened to my order. The thai tea was delicious though!! read more

I look forward to visiting this establishment every time I am in the Bay Area and I go out of my way to ensure that I can enjoy a meal here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is truly above and beyond in terms of ambience, service, and meal options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have never once been disappointed here, and they have truly uplifted me from the depths of difficult times to feel fueled and empowered. I can't recommend their vegetarian pho highly enough, as well as any of their beverages from their outstanding menu. This is a must visit location if you ever find yourself in the Bay Area or more specifically, Oakland, California. Your blessed and humble patron, Raina MD read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Family-run spot with that cozy, authentic vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pho is flavorful and comforting, hitting all the right notes for a classic bowl. But honestly, I'm obsessed with the taro smoothie--it's the real standout here and worth a visit all on its own. read more

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. Quality/Quantity - Today I got: #49 Com Suon, Bi, Cha. Grilled Pork Chop, Shredded Pork, Egg Cake Over Rice - The pork chop was overcooked/dry. The shredded pork was the hit of the dish. And love that "broken" rice. Well, I did crave rice today. Next time I will get pho, as that is in the name of the business. Decent size menu, with decent options. See pictures. Atmosphere - Small local business. Mostly indoor seating and 3 small tables outdoors. Small private parking lot, important in this neighborhood. That alone might justify eating here, lol. Open 6 days a week from 9:30am to 8pm, closed Wednesdays. One clean unisex restroom. Service - I was greeted when I walked in, they took my order and I never saw them again?!?! Plenty of "family" employees, I counted 6-7 people. They outnumbered us customers. I asked for more fish sauce from the "bus boy" but he did not understand me. Finally one of the other 6 people overheard and came to help me. The busboy was the hardest worker. In summary, you get what you ask for, you just have to go out of your way to ask. Must pay upfront (counter service). Price - $16 + generous tip, reasonably priced for what I got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018. If your service improved, I can see how and why you have good ratings. read more

Pho was good, rice plate was also delicious. Authentic flavors and taste. The nuoc mam was good (read: savory, not sweet) which can really make or break a meal. The tai in the pho was slightly overdone so it was a bit tough. The Vietnamese coffee was delicious! Staff was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The general vibe of the restaurant is pretty typical of many Vietnamese mom and pops (no frills, cleaner than many actually).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 4% surcharge for credit cards.

Third time coming here and it's always as delicious as the first. They have a small parking lot and we went around 4pm so it was relatively empty. We ordered two phos and 1 order of egg rolls. I really appreciate that you are able to get whatever kind of meat they offer in your pho cause they offer all variations. Everything came out super hot, fresh and flavorful. Their pho broth is above the rest! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their space is quite clean and they are speedy with their service[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Both rolls I tried (mixed veggie and tofu) were warm. I was surprised, but pleasantly surprised because I like hot food vs. cold. So both rolls were a nice change from the traditional chilled version. I wish they had a vegan fish sauce instead of only sweet chili sauce for the rolls, but not a deal breaker. The veggie pho broth was hearty and made my tummy smile. It was so good, I couldn't stop eating it. Private parking lot make dining here convenient. The staff members were really nice and attentive. Prices very reasonable. I'd go out of my way to dine here again. read more

Me and my boyfriends new go to!! There's a small parking lot in the back. We came here around 6pm and there was a good amount of people inside. It was clean inside which I enjoyed. We sat and ordered chicken wings, a rice plate and pho. The chicken wings were really solid -- crispy, hot, flavorful! Really enjoyed this dish. The rice plate was also super flavorful. The sunny side up egg had crispy edges but was a little too salty. Everything else was seasoned perfectly and each bite was delicious. The meat was tender, the pork skin was savory and the egg cake was spongy and good. The pho was solid!! The broth was umami, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was meaty. Everything was delicious and had perfect flavor harmony. Overall such a good place, good portions and good prices. Highly recommend! read more

One of the best vietnamese spots I've visited in a while! Well Oakland does have great Asian food. I got a few apps and the dry noodles. So delicious! Great flavors and the broth it came with was super tasty. Mango salad 10/10. Beautiful presentation and delicious. The fish cake looked burned, not sure if that's how it should look but wasn't a fan. Otherwise staff was great, patient and prices were fair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another uh-oh was the hallway leading up to the bathroom was super wet, totally could have slipped or end up with real sticky shoes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitley come back! read more

I tried their Mango Salad and highly recommend it to open up your appetite and start your meal! I had their Special Combo - Pho Dac Biet, which includes rare steak, well-done flank, brisket, tendon, tripe, and meatball noodle soup. The broth has a unique taste, leaning towards the sweeter side compared to other pho I've had before. It's definitely worth a try! The portion is huge, and the price is really decent and affordable. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant available for customers! read more

Great vermicelli. Very fresh. Large portions. Friendly service. Highly recommend Easy parking.

Pro tip: they charge a small fee (4%) for paying with credit card so bring cash! Loved my dinner at Pho Huong Que. My friend and I stopped by for dinner Saturday evening around 6 and it wasn't too crowded. The ambiance here is your standard no frills Asian restaurant vibe. It's clean and didn't feel crowded. We got seated promptly and started perusing the menu, which has many pages including two pages fully dedicated to vegetarian options. They offer a wide variety of dishes including pho and other noodle soups, vermicelli bowls, and rice plates. I had trouble deciding what to get and settled on the #65 com thit tom cha (grilled pork, grilled shrimp, egg cake over rice) for $14.25. This really hit the spot for me. The pork and shrimp were extremely flavorful, and I was in love with the egg cake and wish I had more pieces of it. Portions were good too; I was barely able to finish the whole plate and was stuffed after. My friend really enjoyed his B4 bun ga cha gio (grilled chicken and egg roll over vermicelli) for $13.95 as well. Would definitely come back here again next time we're in the mood for Vietnamese! read more

I am so full right now. Everything we ordered was delicious- pork and egg roll vermicelli, pho, marinated chicken wings, mango salad... all good, all very generous portions, all brought in a timely manner. Also noteworthy- the taro smoothie. Honeydew one was artificial tasting. From what I hear, the coffee with condensed milk is a standout as well! Excellent service and we will definitely be returning! read more

If there is one thing you have to get here, it's the pho. The broth is clean, aromatic and flavorful. All you need to add are the greens and lime, and you're all set. This is saying a lot coming from a girl who loves her noodz with all the fixings (hoisin sauce, sriracha, chili oil, pickled jalapenos, etc). The broth was just so rich and delightful, it was the perfect thing to eat on a cold morning. If there's a second thing you need to eat here, it's the mango salad. Make sure you toss it together before you eat it, so all the sweet dressing coats the salad. It has a teensy bit of heat, but I would have liked it a bit spicier. I took this to go and it was delicious the next day The veggies really hold up even with the dressing. The pork rice plate was okay... it came with an egg roll but no egg? Maybe I should have went with the pork chop instead, because the pork I had was very lean, and thin.. They were pretty skimpy. Flavor was good though. They don't do combo plates here btw so if you're looking for the pork chop, egg roll, and wings combo (IYKYK), it doesn't exist here :( If you really want rice, this is a solid option but far from the best I've ever had. I love that they serve you the fresh coconut with a spoon so you can eat the inside when you're done drinking the juice. My avocado shake was perfectly blended, and not too sweet. Super creamy! Service is fine, just don't expect too much. The inside is medium sized, with lots of windows. They do have a little bit of outdoor seating but the view isn't great lol FYI - They have a small lot, and there's some street parking too. read more

This place is one of my go to spots for pho or rice plates - I usually order to go and they package it very nicely! The pho broth just hits the spot, flavorful but not too overpowering. I typically order a regular Pho Tai (sliced beef pho) and it's quite filling! My partner usually gets the large version and they do not skimp on the meat when you order large. They always give a great ratio of meat to noodles. Their rice plates are also very delicious! I highly recommend the grilled beef rice place with egg rolls. I suggest to skip the grilled chicken rice plate as the chicken isn't as flavorful as the grilled beef. read more

First time coming here with my daughters and I think we just found our new pho spot! Small little shop with no frills but workers were attentive and food came quickly and delicious. The fried egg rolls were also really good as was the chicken pho. Most places that I've been to, their chicken pho were really bland and just eh, so I was stoked that theirs had flavor and those grilled onions they included made it just that more yummy!! Would definitely recommending you try them out. read more

We were in the area and wanted to eat pho. We found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. It has its own little parking lot on the side I really liked that. There was some tables outside. The place isn't too big but enough seating. The service is very fast here. This place is very authentic! I order a regular beef ball pho and shrimp spring rolls. The spring rolls were nice and fresh and the peanut sauce was very good. The regular pho was reasonably priced and the portions are generous. The broth was very good you can tell it's made by someone grandma. My entire family really liked it and I even had left overs. Definitely worth trying I'm definitely coming back. read more

I just had the most delicious bun from this restaurant. Every element of the dish was perfection -- from the way the meat was marinated and grilled to the way the shallots were fried, the scallions sautéed, and the peanuts roasted. The herbs and veg were bright and crispy and the noodles were bouncy. No, I don't care an iota that I ruined my favorite shirt by splashing fish sauce on it; the sauce was absolutely delicious and worth 5 more shirts. I also had their amazing vegetarian spring roll with the most umami, mushroom noodles and heavenly seasoned tofu, all balanced with fresh herbs and a dipping sauce I wanted to drink. Scheming about my next meal from Pho Huong Que. read more

Noodles are always on point here. My go to is satay ho fun. Family had the house Chiu Chow wide egg noddle with wonton, wonton was decent but I prefer the HK/Cantonese ones. Wife had the dry noodle, she said she liked it. The appetizer was fried fish cake which was really dried, other places does it better. The condiment jar peppers was crunchy, sweet and vinegary - very good.

I found my new favorite pho spot. If you're looking for comfort viet food, this is the place to be. The restaurant has a homey, no frills feel.
