The food is always delicious here. Prices are still reasonable. Customers service could use an upgrade!!

Tried their bahn mi. Big portions for $9, but could have used more sauce/flavor. I did like that the tofu was big pieces of tofu and not fried. Fresh tofu spring rolls were quite bland.

I usually always come to this place and it has decent food but trash customer service. The lady is always rude to me even though I have been coming to this place for years, I only ignore her because her food is somewhat OKAY for alameda.Today, I will never be coming back and let me tell you why. She didn’t even greet us and just pointed to a table, we sat down like usual, she brought us our waters. I was drinking my water while I saw two disgusting lipstick marks on the glass, I don’t wear lipstick!!!! I told her and she didn’t even apologize, she just brought me a new one. Whatever about that, I can try to move on but red flag #1.Huge red flag #2, they bring out my pho and while I’m eating it, I see a HAIR IN MY FOOD. I immediately want to throw up and I told her about it, she didn’t even apologize again!!! She said “I’ll bring you a new one” why do you have hair in the food anyway?I will never be returning and I don’t even know how they pass health inspections. Don’t come here unless you want to be treated with pure disrespect. Thanks

I enjoyed a beef combo soup with a side of wings and some lemonade. I enjoyed the meal does look like heavy broth tho.

Inside of an old weinerschnitzel bldg. I got a chicken bahn mi and it was really juicy. Nice affordable price and tasty sandwich. If you come during busy lunch time plan to wait about 10 mins tho. Not too bad.

Excellent veggie Pho. Custom with mushrooms and fried tofu. Reasonable prices. Chill, basic atmosphere though with an authentic flavor. Vietnamese music and decor. A good lunch spot.

Always a good choice to come here and have a decent meal. Prices are decent for the area. My favorite dish is the garlic noodles, and I always get a grilled pork chop.

Craving for a hot pho in the neighborhood of Alameda after whole morning of meeting and Found this new restaurant on yelp search.Very nice and clean Vietnamese restaurant. Smiley server was very courteous. The no. 11 pho was hot and delicious. Plenty ingredients filled in the pretty big size of bowl. There weren’t many customers. But we certainly enjoyed it very much. Will try different items at our next visit.

I love their Tofu sandwiches. Their bread is always fresh and they use soft tofu thats slightly seared. I tend to leave out th cilantro and jalapenos when I order this but those come pretty standard in these sandwiches. Be aware that theres a minimum $15 order to be able to use a credit card. Add in a Thai iced tea and an order of egg rolls and your good to go!

#11 is my favorite Pho option, I always get that or the pork sandwich. Great service, friendly staff and is good to bring cash to pay as they prefer it that way.

On Wednesday, 3/8, my family 3 and I went to Phở Sinh to have phở for dinner at around 8 pm.When we received the bill, I was trying to use my credit card, and a waitress, a young Vietnamese woman told us: “We don’t accept credit cards here; only cash”.I ended up handing her $100 bill and received change back. When we came home, I checked the website and saw that Phở Sinh accepts credit cards. I felt betrayed by this individual, who told us she doesn’t accept credit cards.I think that because she knows I am Vietnamese, and she asked for cash to avoid paying taxes.If I was of other ethnics, maybe she would have accepted my credit card. That is discrimination and unethical. That was my last visit by Pho Sinh

Pretty good Pho... Spring rolls were delicious!

2021-11-30 21:38:33

Fresh rolls were nice (we got bbq pork instead of shrimp)we had to ask for peanut sauceI had chicken pho. Took half of it home. It was ok, but not great; not much flavor to the broth. For my husband to NOT polish it off in one sitting... theres been better.

Tonight was the first time Ive dined here since they reopened for indoor dining.The stir fried garlic tofu tasted very good.With a $20 credit card minimum its going to be very difficult for this restaurant to climb out of the 3 point review. For more than a year-and-a-half I did not eat here simply because I did not want to order more than $20 worth of food, and I did not want to go to the ATM.Given that most of the time when I am eating out on Park Street, its after work, and Im by myself, itll probably be a couple more years before I eat here again. Sometimes you just dont want to spend $21.Side story: Ill never forget, the last time I ate here, about a year-and-a-half ago, my bill came to $19.50. They refused to take credit card. I said, with tip it will be over $20. They still refuse to take the credit card. All I had on me was a 20. I paid with that $20 bill. If you ever heard anything so ridiculous.

I ordered take out once but it would never be the same as having a bowl of hot soup in the restaurant.I really liked it, it was a huge portion and the service was incredibly fast.I would totally recommend it

Was going to give two stars because the food isnt terrible but there are so many better places close by. This place is overpriced. Not as many options as other pho places. Charges 50 cents for each to go container which makes you double think if the food is even worth taking home. It isnt. As someone who hates wasting food, it says something when you would rather have them throw food away then pay a few cents more to eat the rest later. It just isnt that good. Skip this one.

2018-01-21 01:37:35

Food was tasty though the soup bowls arent very big considering their prices are inflated compared to other pho restaurants, their soup prices start at $10.25! So in terms of value Id definitely recommend you go elsewhere. Not to mention, their service is subpar. We had to ask for ice water twice even after guests seated after us were served first! This will be the first and last time we visit.

Absolutely love, love, love their Pho. Different than anywhere else on the island, much more flavorful. When I asked about it, they mentioned that Pho originated in Northern Vietnam, where the owners are from. Most other Vietnamese restaurants have roots from Saigon, in the south of Vietnam.

Review №23

2022-06-10 18:27:32

Take out food was okay but the service was really bad. The lady refused to take my old hundred dollar bill, won’t let me use my credit card either coz it was under $20, definitely not going back.

Review №24

2017-11-30 02:51:31

The food is pretty good overall and its a chill place to eat. The service could be a bit better, just because they kind of forget about you after they bring you the food. They wouldnt come over to see how everything was or to get any refills.

I ordered the same dish I usually get at another place, that happened to be closed tonight. Pho Sinh BBQ Pork had much better flavor and the portions more generous than their competitors a couple blocks away.

Our family really enjoys the Banh Mi sandwiches to go. They are always fresh, and usually ready within a half hour of phoning in the order. Highly recommended

Review №27

2020-11-01 02:45:47

Got the medium rare beef pho (beef broth with rice noodles) and pork banh mi. The broth was slightly sweet, veering toward bland, and lukewarm. The rare meat was hard to chew through, couldnt really pull it apart with chopsticks either. Didnt think there would be bits of ginger floating about when its usually lemon grass. Overall, okay pho. Good portion at least.Bread for the banh mi was chewy and slightly doughy, not like the really crispy outer shell of French bread thats banh mi is known for. Pork was sweeter than desired while pickled carrots was sweet, couldnt taste any tang. Couldnt taste the pate, if there was any. Overprice for an okay banh mi.

My favorite pho restaurant in Alameda. Its hidden next to La Penca Azul. I usually go there late night since its the only Pho place in Alameda that opens late. Extra stars for that.

Review №29

2018-10-18 03:13:29

Im from a very Vietnamese neighbourhood in Sydney (Marrickville, NSW) and this is the only place Ive found in the Bay Area that makes spring rolls and sandwiches the way Im used to. Ill leave it to the Vietnamese to decide whether its authentic, but Im always happy when I come here. ☺ UPDATE (10/2018): … except just now. The food was still great, but I was really unimpressed with the service. Hopefully it was just an off night, but it was so slow and unfriendly that I felt compelled to knock a couple of stars off.

Slow and bad service. The food is regular. All the process was really horrible. Wait time 30 minutes, wait time for napkins: never come. Wait time por pay check: I was need go to the cashier desk. Definitely not go there anymore

They gladly sat me at a table 25 minutes before closing on a Saturday night. The pho was fresh, delicious, and gave me the comfort I was needing. Ill be back.

Review №36

2014-11-02 23:10:32

Vietnamese is hard to mess up but even the summer rolls were tasteless and all typy need site that is to throw the right ingredients together. There want even soy sauce on the table to fix the blandness. Also they forgot the plate of veggies that comes with pho I had to ask for that as well to add flavor! Over proceed for the quality too

Review №37

2017-10-06 22:58:02

Since when does lemon grass have two beedy eyes and wings? Yes two ladies insisted this bug in my soup was lemon grass. Yet they quickly removed the lemon grass from my soup and didnt offer to replace the food. Not so happy
