Pho Nation Express

Very good

I just ordered the house special vermicelli bowl. It came with pork, chicken and shrimp and the shrimp was the only meat that was edible. I suspect the pork and the chicken were cooked yesterday if not earlier in the week. They were gristly and over cooked. Also the sauce for the vermicelli noodles was watery and bland. For $12 I expect much better food.

2021: I wished I took photos of my food before I ate them, but they have some very good pho here! I usually get my boba at gongcha and I'll order a beef pho with beef balls for myself and chicken or combination pho for my husband and add some extra noodles. Pretty good pricing and very yummy. Staff is always friendly even when both sides of the store are super busy. 10/10! Update 2022: I got a Vietnamese Iced Coffee and fresh spring rolls. They were both delicious and amazing. Best Vietnamese iced coffee I've had so far, perfect blend of the dark roast coffee and the condensed milk. Springs rolls were very yummy, and it came with the peanut sauce and a side of Sriracha

Ufff. This is a rough review for me. I left it neutral because of a few reasons. 1. It's just basic The reality is that yes, it's pho, but iv had way better for less sadly. 2. They don't even serve it in a real bowl They gave me a small to go bowl when I was waiting for a bigger sized bowl(what you normally get from eating in) 3. I actually had to wait. Not a crazy amount, but normally when you get pho at any restaurant, you get a lot in a super quick period of time. This place is like a tea shop and pho restaurant all in one. But if you get tea you pay separately than if you get soup or actual food. Which is kinda weird. Spent $30 and honestly don't feel like I'd go back knowing there are better places with more portion with a faster response than here. Don't get me wrong. Food was decent. And if I was working around alameda and had to get a bite to eat I'd probably go next door. looks like they have sushi. Thus place is definitely more for the younger generation because I had at least 10 kids in front of me all go in for teas and Boba. I guess I'm just a little more old school.

This place pho ok, but first they has small bowl of pho, no choice only one side. Second $19 for bowl of pho, they add all Roth water, little noodles few noodles and 2 slices of very thin beef, I feel like for children 5 years can eat not for adults, third budget of bowl of this pho $3 dollars, it’s cost $19, come on, who will come again lol. They think customers don’t know what’s worth what’s they pay for .

Today was my first time taking pho to-go. It was an excellent experience. Ordering was easy, preparation was fast, fair price, and the quality was exceptional! I will be back to order the rare steak pho again. Pho Nation just became my new favorite pho place.
