"Been going to Pho Mekong for years now. Sadly it is one of the last old school Pho spots in Oakland as Kevin 's Noodle House and Pho Hoa Loa closed years ago. Usual fare here: pho, bun, Bahn mi. Food is standard nothing will wow you. What makes Pho Mekong different is that they sell desserts smoothies, Boba and the Vietnamese version of Halo Halo. If you want pho with beef slices to your liking (rare), ask for it on the side and put it in yourself."
