Best Vietnamese Food in Alameda

A long-time favorite that never disappoints! The Food: Massive variety and phenomenal quality. The bomb wings are a must-order every time, and the Bún Riêu is packed with flavor. We also tried their current limited-time special menu and absolutely loved it—it definitely deserves a permanent spot on the menu. The Service: Outstanding. Our server, Duke, was highly attentive and took great care of us with tailored service. The Verdict: Having frequented this spot for years, it remains one of the…

Side Street Pho is definitely one of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants on the island since 2014, the food reminded us of our childhood. We grew up eating Chinese and Vietnamese food.

I was recently introduced to Sidestreet Pho, and I’m glad I was. The Bun, Shaken Beef with garlic noodles, and vegetarian fresh rolls are amazing! Looking forward to trying other things on the menu. Oh and Jeanette is an amazing server! She’s friendly and funny! =)

Quaint little Phô spot in Alameda. Foxy the host has a great vibe, happy, hospitable, polite and friendly. Food was made to order, came out hot. Ordered the DAU HU CHIEN SA | Lemongrass Fried Tofu, Bún Riêu, the Phô Chin (brisket) and a Thai tea with coconut cream. Flavors are all great, bursting with flavor. Ambiance was chill, great date night spot, girls night out or to just hang with some friends. Try it out if you're in the area. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

The shaved ribeye Pho is some of the best Pho I’ve ever had. I love Pho but usually hate the meat. This definitely elevated the Pho-going experience. The veggies are always actually fresh and delicious. It’s a small little spot that gets busy, but well worth it!
