Pho in East Bay?

topic posted Fri, October 1, 2004 - 7:10 PM by  lajaponesa
Any recommendations for great pho in Berkeley, Oakland, or Alameda?

Pho Hoa (a chain) is alright but I'm shootin' for something more authentic. Thanks!

    heres what my friend sent me.......

    East Bay... Ghetto Noodle (New Pagolac) on 8th or 9th and International... scary at night, don't go alone!

    I don't know the name of the place we went to but that is E18th between Lakeshore and Park.

    and Saigon City on Telegraph in Bezerkeley. (THE BEST!!!)

    Hope this helps.

      thanks night bird, i'm currently out of town but i'll definitely try one of those places when i return. funny, for the five years i lived in berkeley (and walking up telegraph everyday) i never came across saigon city.
      ghetto noodle sounds cool, too, those kind of places tend to have the best food. thanks!!

      "Ghetto Noodle"? Hrmm, I've been to far sketchier places around here. SF in particular has some real dives. (Tu Lan, for example... and I didn't even think the food was very good there)

      Biggest problem with New Pagolac is the ear splitting karaoke they like to do sometimes. (Wednesdays seem to be a favorite night)

      For the record, the address is...

      New Pagolac
      831 International Blvd
      Oakland, CA 94606
      510.465.0936

    Pho Ao Sen on the corner of International and 2nd Street/Ave has the best pho I have ever had. My VN friend agrees. Very, very good, although a bit cloudy. They serve pho with that extra herb whose name escapes my mind.

    Also good is Pho Hoa Lao, further down on International. Slightly less addictive, but clearer soup. Super good.
