"Hands down, the worst Vietnamese restaurant I have ever eaten at. Here are the reasons why: 1) The Vietnamese fish sauce is arguably the most important part of Vietnamese cuisine. Here, it's more like fish sauce and sugar, diluted with water. There are no chili, lime or garlic taste in it whatsoever. 2) Food lacks flavor I had the rice with lemongrass pork chop. The pork chop lacked any flavour whatsoever. It definitely has not been marinated and the taste of chili and lemongrass was lacking. We also had the Pho the soup was too sweet and it wasn't made from bone broth (more like flavour packs). They also provide too little herbs (i.e. Thai basil). Lastly, the pho noodle is also not the correct type of noodle. 3) The accompanying salad consisted of Spinach, parseley and dill three ingredients which made absolutely no sense in a Vietnamese dish. On its own, the salad would have been average, but altogether it was just confusing. 4) I hereby dedicate an entire point to the papaya salad the papaya was cut too thick so it stopped being crunchy and started to become slightly chewy an adjective you never want to use on a salad. Again, the herbs was lacking, and the fish sauce was bad. However, it is not a total disaster whilst the pork chop lacked flavour, it tasted fresh and not dry. The same with the beef in the Pho the meat had a good texture to it. The service was good we were given a big glass of water soon after we sat down and the food arrived within 10 minutes. Nonetheless, it was the worst Vietnamese meal I have ever had. Despite a lack of Vietnamese restaurants in Berkeley, I would not be returning. After returning home, I regret finishing the food. My very Asian body feels violated by the food, and I am currently eating two whole Romaine Hearts in an effort to expel the food from my body in my next toilet break."

Food is good but overpriced, also don’t like that you need to buy your own bottle water even thought it’s only $0.50

This is a great pho restaurant. The portions are generous, there are plenty of seats for larger groups, and the servers are very attentive.

This place is hit and miss. Last 2 times here it was pretty good. This time around the pho lacked flavoring in the broth. It was a little blend. Reccomend eating when they first open in the morning for the best broth. View menu

Grab the beef Pho on a cold winter evening! Meat’s good quality, noodles fill me up well. I see most of the bad reviews complaining about lack of authenticity, and personally I can’t speak on that because I don’t know anything about Vietnamese cuisine. All I can say is that I really enjoy the taste here! Service also runs quick and smooth.

I love coming here and there is never a waiting time because the place is great. First, the interior is very simple, but also very modern. I always order number 8 (the basic pho combo bowl pho dac offer) and it always hits the point! I love the tendon It is really good for its price as most other Pho restaurants and the taste is just as good! The service is also very nice and fast. I recommend trying this place!!

I enjoyed a satisfying bowl of pho for lunch while waiting for our laundry. I ordered a pho with rare steak and tendon, while my partner went for a pho with brisket and flank. Both dishes were delicious! The vegetables were fresh, and the broth was flavorful and tasty. The tendon was tender and full of flavor. All the meats—rare steak, brisket, and flank—were thinly sliced, just as they should be. I was very pleased with the addition of Sriracha and hoisin sauces to enhance the flavors. View menu

I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews, and some of them seem quite exaggerated. I ordered pho, and it was delicious. The herbs were fresh, the meat was well-prepared, and the rice noodles were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was very good. The only downside was the service. It wasn’t that the staff were rude; they just forgot to bring me water and the bill. I was hesitant after reading the bad reviews, but after my visit, I’m convinced this is a lovely place, and I would definitely come back.

I ordered Mi Hu Tieu Dac Biet from uber eats. The description on every available platform is, choice of egg noodle or rice noodle and a combination of fish balls, shrimp balls, shrimp, sliced of slow cooked pork, and green leafy vegetables of the day. Attached is an image of what I received. No pork, no greens, barely any fish balls. When I called, I was informed that the menu had been updated (for no one but them) to disclude pork. The vegetables of the day were the basil included with all pho orders. No apology, acknowledgement, nothing. I didn 't want free food, but an apology might have been nice. Even acknowledging that the menu was grossly misleading. To make these overpriced rice nood...
