"Not sure how this is rated so high and why reservations are needed. We walked in for a valentines date expecting to give our names and a table would be waiting for us per reservation protocol. We were told to sit wherever we liked which was good, and we didn’t even have to give our name. The service was also average. Wasn’t bad, but seeing as it got busy later, they get a pass here. If you make a reservation here this is what to expect: average Thai food. Mediocre service. Horrible ambience TVs everywhere, wires dangling, graffitied windows, bathroom is a few minute walk around the building, so expect your company will await your return a of 5min minimum. The pricing didn’t reflect the level of food quality, but did meet expectations of an average Thai restaurant. My recommendation is neutral."

The food was really good, and they had a combo plate for $45 that fed 3 people. I highly recommend it. View menu

The restaurant did not provide utensils for eating. The Grilled Salmon was pricey and only consisted of two small pieces.

The food was well prepared and tasty. However the food was brought all at once rather than being served as a series of courses.

Just a leisurely lunch with a friend. The lunch special fixed price for an appetizer salad entree and drink is my favorite . Service today was good but is spotty depending on which server you get. The food was very tasty. View menu

I really enjoy coming to this restaurant. It’s cozy yet has enough table where you do not get rushed out when you are done with your meal . The pas Zee ew noodles are my favorite. I usually order the lunch special which includes a choice of appetizer a salad and beverage like Thai ice tea or coffee. The Thai ladies are very welcoming and very pleasant.

It was a good atmosphere and we were quickly taken care of. The food presentation was spectacular. My girlfriend and I ordered fried chicken wonton which was super good, ordered thai fired rice which was okay, nothing special just like any other fries rice and we also got Tom Yum which was really good and had a nice spice to it. Like I said the presentation was amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone, as it was overall a great experience.

"Tasty authentic Vietnamese dishes made in a mom and pop restaurant in Oakland on the corner of East 12th Street and 11th Avenue. We got the Hu Tieu Mi Kho (Dried egg noodles), Pho Dac Biet (Beef Pho with various cuts of beef), and the Bo Kho (beef stew) that comes with a Vietnamese baguette to dip in the stew. These 3 dishes totaled about $45 after taxes. Two of the dishes (dried noodles and the pho) were full of flavor and you can smell and taste some of the traditional spices and herbs that come with them. The Dried egg noodles come with 2 quail eggs, 2 shrimp, a couple slices of pork, slices of pork kidney and liver, minced pork, bits of chicharron (fried pork belly skin), chives, cilantro, green onions, and blanched mung bean sprouts with a bowl of broth on the side. It comes with Vietnamese pickled jalapenos, sate paste, and a soy based sauce to mix in with the noodles. Was very authentic and delicious! There was even minced garlic in the dry noodles, which added another nice layer of flavor to this dish. The second dish, beef stew, although it smelled right, was more of a soup than braised stew. It was watered down (and tasted watered down too) and would have gone better with noodles. Way too watery for the baguette to really dip or scoop up the flavor. Made the bread a soggy mush. Plus there was not that many pieces of beef (they used flank with the membrane intact), and only 2 slices of carrot. We had to scoop to the bottom of the container to raise the beef, above the broth for the photo. Otherwise we almost mistook it for the container of broth for the pho. I would pass on getting the beef stew next time since the value of what you pay and flavor were somewhat lacking. Lastly we tried the pho dac biet and it was tasty with a nice balanced broth before you add the herbs and condiments (hoisin, sriracha, etc). It comes with the usual mung bean sprouts, thai basil, and sliced jalapenos with the raw slices of beef on top (for you to cook by pouring over the boiling broth). Prices are reasonable for the dry noodles and pho, but not the beef stew. While waiting for our takeout order, the husband owner kindly offered us some water or hot jasmine tea to sip while we waited. Inside of the restaurant, there are 7 tables with seating for 4 each, and a longer table with seating for 8 available for dining here. The parking lot across the street that people used to use seems to be closed/chained as a private lot now, so be prepared to find and park on the main streets or neighborhood around the restaurant. It is in a lesser part of Oakland about 5 minutes away from downtown, so be sure to lock your car or use public transit, as there was a lot of trash dumped around the neighborhood. Despite all of this, I would return for their tasty dry noodles and pho. And would be interested to try their other dishes too (minus the beef stew)."
