The Banh Mi is probably the best thing here. Unfortunately my $16 Chicken Udon Pho came with rubberized, overcooked, bland chicken. And I suspect the broth too was nothing more than cheap store-bought broth :/
I told the owners about the chicken but they tried to play it off as if it is completely normal. Very disappointed by that.

The owner is super friendly. I enjoy his hospitality of his restaurant he is very kind. I understand that it is the very heart of Berkeley and I do come here a lot now but $10 flat is just a little high but I understand. I will continue to come back. Its very delicious pho and he is willing to do ajustments for you

Authentic Vietnamese food with Vietnamese owners who speak Vietnamese! Really affordable as well. Banh mi is only $4.50 a sandwich

Nice clean Vietnamese restaurant in the college town. . Pho was very good. The chicken salad bow was fresh and lean and flavorful. Good option for lunch !

WoW, so went there made my order, after order been prepared I set in the car to eat my spring rolls and noticed - there is no spring rolls in my bag…
I went back, got my spring rolls, but look what I got as bonus ( I am blond sad as my husband)
Think black hair wrapped as bonus .
Food really don’t not taste well, as well is when I asked for raw steak pho - I had a response « we can not do raw meat, or we will get in trouble » which made me think about a quality of meat there.
Please go to spot near , do not choose this one since guys do not care for food safety

The pho here is really delicious and the portion sizes here are fantastic. The shrimp spring rolls were also really delicious. Prices are very reasonable and the food comes out pretty quickly.

What they call the Salad Bowl is pretty good. The chicken salad bowl is my favorite. For me, it’s a sort of Bún Chà, but already mixed. And you can choose the protein. It’s scrumptious.
In general you will have big portions and intense flavors.
In short: Quality and quantity here are outstanding. And the best thing: it’s cheap. At least for Berkeley standards. (8-10 usd). And if you buy Banh Mi, it’s actually much cheaper. Do yourself a favor and come here.
