Kudos for the variety: they have both Japanese and Chinese items on the menu…read more We were a party of five and ordered off the tablet. I got the Taiwanese braised beef ramen. The portion was good, but the main star of the show: the "braised beef" was hard, dry and tough. Truly, almost inedible. I sampled a takoyaki from the group's shared apps and that was pretty good. Service was painfully slow and they boxed my poor nephew's chicken teriyaki order to go. Not sure how that happened? Anyways, after the four of us were halfway done with the meal, we flagged someone down and they brought him the to go order to eat in house.

Located inside a strip mall with ample parking, this noodle joint competes with some of the other…read morenoodle chains. As with these type of noodle soup, the star should be their brother but sadly their house special broth lacks the depth of flavor you would expect from slow simmered soup with beef bones, herbs and spices. The noodles, eggs and beef was cooked well. The fried tofu was huge portions and nice starter. One good touch this restaurant does is you can order a side order of BBQ short rib and chicken and both does not disappoint; well marinated and cooked well. The vegetable tempura was a bit over fried. For drinks, I opted for a fruit tea with 50% sugar which was refreshing for a hot day. Staff here was friendly and food came out quickly. If you're expecting a good hearty bowl of noodle soup you may be disappointed, but there's always their other rice plate option and fruit/milk tea you can enjoy.

After we finished the event we were in town for the subject of an after event bite to eat came up. Froyo was mentioned and then I said "pho?" And group said "OOOHHHH!! Pho !!"

Everyone says "good suggestion dude !!" Boom!! I'm the hero ! A great random experience here. Wish it wasn't an hour n half from home. But I'd eat here again without hesitation if ever in town again.

Best Vietnamese spot in the Antioch, Brentwood, and Oakley area!…read more Thankfully, this place satisfies all the right cravings, from comforting bowls of pho to delicious Vietnamese coffee. Definitely check out their seasonal coffee flavors (the pumpkin is especially good!), along with their other Vietnamese staples. In my opinion, this is probably the best Vietnamese food you'll find around here until you get to San Jose! The service is straightforward and friendly, and I love that the restaurant is now going on its third generation as a family business. The dining area and bathrooms are always clean, which is another big plus. A great local spot that we're happy to keep coming back to!

5 Stars - Absolutely Outstanding! What an incredible dining…read moreexperience! This Vietnamese restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way! The food was absolutely amazing, bursting with flavor, fresh, and delicious! We immediately noticed the authenticity of the beautiful decor combined with light jazz music. All of these things made the experience very memorable. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the outstanding quality of the food and service. The restaurant was spotless, beautifully lit, conveniently located, and had such a wonderful atmosphere! It was packed with customers, and after dining here, we completely understand why! Overall, everything was truly above and beyond and Golden Gate Pho deserves every one of its five stars! We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Our first two visits to Golden Gate Pho in Oakley were excellent. The portions were generous, the…read morefried rice tasted fresh and delicious, and the soup was piping hot with noodles cooked to perfection. Our daughter loved her kids' meal, which also came with a great portion. Unfortunately, our third visit--Tuesday at about 2 p.m., roughly an hour before closing--was disappointing. The fried rice was cold and lacked the flavor and freshness of our previous visits. It seemed like leftover rice rather than freshly prepared, although we can't say for certain. The kids' meal portion was tiny compared with what our daughter received last time, and the food was only warm rather than piping hot. My wife ordered ramen, and her soup was also just warm--not hot enough to need to blow on it, unlike the piping-hot soup we enjoyed before. The man we believe is the manager wasn't there this time. We don't know whether that made any difference, but the change in quality, portions, and food temperature was noticeable. We know how good the food can be. We hope the restaurant brings the same freshness, generous portions, and care to every visit.

Part of the reason I love it is that it looks like something out of a movie. You have to go down this narrow stairwell inside this older hotel - the Ramada - on the edge of Chinatown. It's off the beating path, and it's someplace that I would take friends when I'm trying to show them that a place doesn't have to be bougie to be delicious.

She was also very rude and seemed like she was avoiding our table for most of the time we were there. It took a long time for her to come back and take our order even though we were the only ones there at the time. When my friend asked for a refill, she only brought my friend water even though my cup was also low. I then asked her to refill both of our cups, but she barely filled mine halfway and didn't even give my friend a full refill. It honestly sucks being the ONLY table who gets treated unfairly, especially when we were nothing but respectful to her. Overall, the service was extremely disappointing and made me and my friends experience uncomfortable.
