1st time eating here, got the #10 & #12 pho combos, XL size only. Order at front & pick up in the seating area. Staff was friendly and food came in 10mins since there was 3 people ahead of us. Everything tasted fine and gave us plenty of sides, bean sprouts, basil, etc...extra sauces were on table. Bus your own table. The tables were sticky, we found the least sticky one. Maybe its their cleaner? It was good and quick enough Id go back again.
I loved this place until recently. I used to go there to have lunch with a friend before we pick up our kids from school. I also order to go and I enjoy their food for the most part. I went there recently and I ordered to go. They charged me 19.25% tax on my recent order. I ordered two items and should have been charged $26 plus tax. The tax in Alameda is 10.75% so my total cost should have been $28.80 but they charged me $31.01 because of this I wont be going back for now. I dont know how many times they have overcharged me. You need to be careful because some restaurants will automatically add tips and then you give them additional tip without realizing that they added it to your bill already.Update- We have gone back after not going there for a while. We like their food and they arent overcharging me.
The lemonade and tea were really good! The dish that my daughter ordered she also really enjoyed as well.The only thing I didnt like was that on my sandwich if had a ton of jalapenos on it. I wasnt expecting to have 15 pieces of jalapenos inside it thats for sure, even more so I cant eat the things. Otherwise the place was good
Love this place! Delicious food and very affordable! They have a covered outdoor eating area that gets a nice cool breeze when its warm out, and has overhead heaters when its cold out. The staff is very nice and weve never had a bad experience here. They have a large parking lot that always has a spot available. I hope in the future theyre able to offer less plastic when ordering to go.
Good pho tai. Enjoyed the meat ( which comes partly frozen) a lot, noodles were great. Broth could be more concentrated.
I don’t want Bahn mi from anywhere else 🤦🏽♀️🤤
What service? Self ordering then tip, huh?
My go-to Bahn-mi sandwich shop in Alameda. #45 you cant go wrong.
Never had a bad meal at Vietnam House...favs include beef combo pho, grilled pork banh mi sandwich, fried egg rolls and veggie spring rolls...great value, too...!!!
Im allergic to peanuts which I let them know before I even ordered. They told me the dish I ordered did not have any so I waited. When I got my dish it did in fact have peanuts and they spilled onto the rest of the food. Then I returned it and asked if I could just get another with no peanuts. When I got my food back, there were still whole peanut remnants and obviously it was the same plate. I could not eat though I tried to tough it out and got an allergic reaction. Terrible experience. Would not recommend.
This place just opened and we loved it! Its in an old weiner schnitzel building so it has an odd charm to it. Outdoor seating, fast friendly service. The pork vermicelli plate was fantastic and the lemongrass vermicelli soup was on point. Great value too. Will definitely be back.
This place has great food and a great staff but I am not getting takeout there again until they switch to recyclables. They even gave me a plastic straw, which I thought was not allowed. Even the in-house water cups are plastic single-use.Update: still no switch to sustainable packaging. Management: please consider switching! Thanks.
Love this place, come here all the time. I have had the pho, bun, rice plates and spring rolls, all are excellent! The portions are absolutely huge for a good price and the service is very friendly. The seating area has nice heaters and there is a water refill station which is convenient.
Tried this place for lunch. I had the bbq pork bahn mi and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great bread, hefty amount of meat and veggies and good flavor.
Quick and good. Seating space on the side.
Best pho in Alameda by far.Great service, and plenty of seating and parking.Spring rolls are off the hook, and I highly recommend.This location is a little different.....need to order at the window, and then go sit and wait for your food in the seating area on the side.If you love pho, and are in Alameda, you MUST visit here.
I have been here over a dozen times and never had a bad meal. The pho is perfectly seasoned and not too sweet on the broth. The Bahn mi is the perfect size for a quick lunch. The vermicelli and rice dishes are always cooked to perfection. This is my favorite Vietnamese in the entire bay area.
I continue to find my way here for lunch while I am working in Alameda. I have consistently received outstanding service and the food is authentic compared to the other restaurants that I have visited in San Diego, Virginia and several locations throughout Florida. Fresh and fairly fast, the outdoor seating is extremely quaint and the folks here are very friendly. I highly recommend you give out a try, even if you just try the Vietnamese subs.
My my favorite item here is the pork sandwich, Freshly baked baguette stuffed with pork, cucumbers, carrots, cilantro and jalapenos. I get it extra spicy 🔥
A casual Vietnamese restaurant in Alameda utilizes the old Wiener Schnitzel building. They made some improvements in that the outside seating area is now somewhat enclosed. Food is good with friendly service. I have tried their pho as well as their seafood noodle soup. Both were good. Dress warm if the weather is cool, as the covered outside seating area could be somewhat cool. There is no inside seating. Dogs are allowed in the covered area which makes this place one of my favorite casual restaurants in Alameda. There is plenty of parking space which is very rare for business on Park Street.
Ordered the pho tai and vermicelli bowl with beef. Both dishes were good, but nothing special, and it seemed overpriced for the quality. Ive had much better pho and vermicelli bowls before for half the price. For example, both dishes did not have nearly enough vegetables and the meat for the pho seemed of lower quality. Overall, the food was good but the next time I want Vietnamese food, I will be trying somewhere else before returning here.
Nice outdoor seating but not that many tables. The area is good for both summer nights and cold winter nights. Ample parking spaces as well.Pho is not as good as Sidestreet Pho but its not bad either. Portions are good and the menu has plenty of other items to try. I enjoyed their BBQ chicken plate and vermicelli more than the pho. Someone will drop off food to your table but dont expect table side service. The staff are friendly.
Good food fast, I like the bahn mi sandwich and thai ice tea. Cost more than the one down the street tho. I did ask them to clean the table 3 times (during corona virus), she finally did.
The food is good but, the service is awful... got my order wrong twice. The food came out and our drinks werent ready for almost an hour. I asked for small cup and was told no. For the price and service their are better options in Alameda.
One of my go to spots for banh mi. Very good sandwiches! And the price is fair. They put a decent amount of meat in their sandwiches and the bread is always fresh and tasty! I like the beef sandwich and the chicken is good too! Try the shrimp banh mi? You have to ask for this one and it cost a little more but it is also tasty if you are craving some sea food. Their pho is also good. Usually good service, but sometimes when you order to go and wait outside they accidentally send it inside to the eating area. But it is OK, not to big of a problem. There is also this very cute Vietnamese young lady who always gives a nice smile and shows great costomer service. Any time you go to a restaurant and there is a very nice looking young lady who has great customer service skills, this is a very nice thing to go back to! So keep up the good work! I will be going back! Try the place . Later
Very flavorful Vietnamese food at a decent price. Friendly service, and appreciate that their eating area is dog friendly and that they have their own parking lot. Just wish there were even more vegetarian options.
Nice spot for pho in Alameda run by good people who have been a part of Alameda for a long time. Recommend, very nice broth, good food AND parking!
My go-to for pho in Alameda other than Pho Nation. Great prices, good food and the best Thai tea on the island! Also amazing banh mis!
Ordered two #10s soups. Beef over noodle plate/container (covid)... Sandwich... Spring rolls... Egg rolls... Thai coffee...sodas... For my wife and two boys.Beef over noodles had ants.Returned it...Soups didnt have all meats advertised. Returned them. They said they were going to do them over. They didnt. They added missing items plus ants. Got a refund.
I usually go to Oakland to get pho but since I live in Alameda this is my go to place for vegetarian pho. There food is the best and the vegetarian pho has so much flavor. The vegetarian spring rolls are amazing as well. If your ever in Alameda you have to try Vietnam house. I tried so many places in Alameda and I love this place.
If your craving vermicelli and pork this is the best spot in Alameda. Some times they are fast sometimes slow, but the food is constantly good.
This is my go-to local place for tasty Vietnamese food. The dining area is in a tented outdoor patio, so on summer nights its a great place to eat and enjoy the views of Park St. In winter they do have the heaters running, so it helps to make the place feel cozy.
I always love coming here. The staff is very efficient with the food, and the location makes it easy for collage students to study at the library and get a solid lunch after.
The food is really good! They are familiar restaurant, so they make sure that the taste and quality are always the same. The food taste really like VietNamese food, it doesn’t be mix with American taste or other countries taste.
Casual outdoor dining (this place used to be a weinershnitzel franchise with no dinong room) tasy fresh entrees run $9-$10. There is an ingenpusly designed outdoor dining room that is fully shaded and pleasantly breezy on hot days, and cozy (with heat lamps) on cool nights. Friendly counter service.
Two orders on two different occasssions to go, and each time it is wrong.They just take my number, list off the items (Bahn Mi) and then hand me bahn mi that dont contain the ordered proteins.(When someone orders chicken, giving them pork isnt acceptable.)
Delicious, no-fuss Vietnamese food with friendly service staff and a quirky indoor/outdoor seating area. Perfect for a quick, healthy lunch - I come here at least once a week!
I love this spot! Their vegetarian banh mi is my favorite, very flavorful. The outdoor patio was a nice addition :)
Awesome set-up. Legit meals. Fresh and tasty. Just wish the plates were $2 less and Id be there for lunch all the time.
Great fresh bahn mi, very tasty!
The food is very consistent, never had a bad experience here.
I go here from time to time, honestly this is the best place to eat at in alameda! amazing sandwiches, pho, and appetizers. They always make it perfect! 100/10
Surprisingly good, portions were nice Pho broth was much better than other restaurants in close proximity to this place.
The bahn mi is divine. The spring rolls are good, except the peanut sauce seemed slightly watered down.
I hate to give a place such a horrible score, but it was an awful experience. Bland food. Questionable hygiene.
Great pho, great banmi. Better prices than other Vietnamese food joints on park st. Seating is limited but the area is heated.
Food was good but little warm and I like my Pho hot to truly enjoy it.
Best phó in town! Nice patio too. Theres a kid-size pho ga (chicken soup) that my kids love
Have been coming here since they opene and have not stopped going. The best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had.
Super good pho, one of my new favorite places!
Food was terrible you can taste how dirty the grill was. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬Bleeeeehhh🤢🤢🤮🤮👎👎💩💩💩💩My advice DONT EVER EAT HERE WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
They used to have better ingredients, but still good and tasty meals. Great staff!!!
Food is amazing but hours of operation listed incorrectly closed at 6pm when it says open until 9pm
Phở really good. Service a little weird. Outdoor meal. Will be hot if triple digit.
Fantastic food, great people. Not a lot of space to eat there, so I advise taking your food to go.
Best pho spot on the island! Bit overpriced on the shrimp spring rolls tho.
Great food, pleasantly surprised. Dont let the exterior fool you!
One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the Bay area. Everyone of their meals is delicious.
Great food, nice little outside court or area to eat in, friendly people.
A humble and small place right on the east end of Park street. It just happens to be the best pho and bahn mi in town!
Good food, a little pricy for what it is and the serving size.
Excellent food but a bit slow to serv worth the wait
My favorite pho spot in Alameda. Wish they were open on Sundays though, but they need a day off
Love coming here at lease 2wice a month. Food is great with a great price

Hands down the best Bàhn Mi in the area.
Broth is thin, soup is just okay. Seating is uncomfortable.
The banh mi reminds me of the old country.EXCELLENT
Maybe a little pricey, but first experience was overall good.
Noodles soups are very hot just the way I like it.

Review №1
2023-07-13 16:46:31Been coming here for years… but their prices have gotten insane along with the inflation. $28 for pho tai and shrimp spring rolls….this is the exact metric Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen should be using when discussing what the current economic conditions of the country are.Service is kinda hit and miss too. Had my order dropped off at another table where I watched it sit for 5 mins before the server put it back on the plate and brought it to me.IMHO;the spot has somewhat gone down hill in the past few years but the food is still solid. Anyway you slice it it’s still worlds better than the weinerschitznel it replaced in this location many moons ago. It’s kinda hilarious to be eating Vietnamese food outside the building/ architecture/ infrastructure of former hot dog stand

2023-09-30 22:19:21This place is such a sweet little cozy place. Basic interior but really comfortable. We found the food to be very good and very fresh tasting. A sweet little spot on the main strip. Worth checking out truly enjoyed.

2022-02-06 00:17:03The best spot in alameda to get pho. The broth has a great beef flavor and the meat is very thinly slice is perfect. The brisket is tender they give a good amount of thin slice meat on the broth. The egg rolls are good not to oily and has great flavor of meat and veggies in it. The service is okay not to bad but it could be better and prices are great.

2023-10-31 08:58:37Pretty decent food overall. Deducting a star because theres no tripe in the combo pho. 😥
Review №5
2019-02-17 20:18:52Unique little eatery with enclosed outdoor seating. Great menu with affordable prices. Awesome staff. Open late! Even at night in the Feburary chill, we were warm and comfortable in their outdoor seating area.

2022-03-25 06:12:13The Go to Vietnam street food (Kind of) spot in Alameda, with the regular selection of Banh Mi, vermicelli combos, and rolls, both deep fried and fresh. Lots of Vietnamese drinks. Fresh and fast service in this old Der Wienerschnitzel location Across from Gengis Khan all you can eat BBQ

2023-02-06 06:16:22Best pho in Bay area. No frills, just great food. The pho is wonderful, but they make these little latticed rice noodle clouds for their vermicelli bowls. Im hooked.Hours are limited,- like extended lunch, early dinner kind of hours.Staff speak almost no English.

2019-09-16 23:49:20Very good Pho, inconspicuous location at an old Der Weinerschnitzle place, can get very crowded.
