Sidestreet Pho

I’m sad that I live too far from this place to be able to enjoy it whenever I want because it’s that good, and I am not exaggerating. The food is delicious and every single item is packed with flavor, served fresh, and tasted better than you could even fathom. I came with my best friend who’s a vegan and she was able to order so many items like king mushrooms, spring rolls, fried rolls, and tofu. I tried it all and ordered a meatless pho, the broth is seasoned to perfection and the noodles taste homemade without a doubt. If you love passion fruit then their slushie is a must, so smooth. On top of the best food and pho, the customer service is top tier hands down. Anyways if you haven’t figured out that you have to go for yourself and try, then you’re missing out.

The shaken beef plate with garlic noodles was top tier, I will be back for it no doubt. The oxtail pho was a little difficult to get the meat off the bone for me tbh. Service fast and excellent on a Friday night! $90 for 2 people with tax + tip

5/5 for the Food and drinks, it was spectacular, great serving sizes and good variety! The variety of beverages and the cola’s they had! Rating 4/5 for Service since I can’t speak to the service when it’s busy, but it’s spectacular when it was not so busy. Food came out quick and they checked up on us often. Atmosphere 4/5, again it wasn’t busy so can’t fully speak to the vibe of the restaurant. But as it was calmer and slower it was a chill vibe. They had fun Vietnamese music playing!

My go to for the best Oxtail Pho in the Bay. If you're a Pho lover, you have to try this place. You can't go wrong with a Thai Tea or their ginger Lemonade either. One of Alameda's best restaurants.

Excellent food, drinks and service. Everything I tried was fresh and tasty. Outdoor seating for furry friends!
