Huong Que Cafe

I've been going to this place for many years. It's good pho but not the best. Also they are pretty rude if you are not vietnamese. There use to be a couple friendly people who worked there but they are all gone. I've brought different friends and family here over the years and they would always ask me why I always came here since the service was bad. To be honest I use to put up with it because their pho use to be the best. Now that they lost their touch I will never return.

This is legit my favorite spot for all things chicken: chicken rice, chicken congee, chicken pho, chicken rice rolls...you get the gist. It’s so good. We drive from the city just for this. We used to drive here from San Mateo too...talk about dedication. Haha. I’ve been coming here for a hot minute. I came in a few days ago and it was super clean. They cleaned this placed up. I mean from the floors to the walls. I mean it’s still old, but it’s clean. For what you pay here and the quality, I’m fine with the old furniture and decor. I ain’t tripping. It’s an old school, no frills chicken pho joint. It always reminds me of getting pho with my parents as a kid in the 90s, so in a sense I love it because at one point in time, all good pho shops in America looked like this. Cash only, they haven’t changed and I respect that. Lol...the game didn’t change them 😅 I’ll add more pics of other things later. These pics are from my most recent visit. The scrambled eggs over chicken and rice is so good.

What’s not to love about this place? Eat delicious chicken pho and play the lottery. Definitely my kind of place. It’s a no frills environment and the food is good and cheap. The pho is super customizable—you can get bone-in, boneless, dark or white meat with an array of noodle types—plus, you can add their yummy green garlicky sauce to make it a really personalized bowl. I also played the lottery after my meal so hopefully by the time you read this I’m a millionaire.

Outstanding. Sometimes I wake up in the morning craving pho like a junkie. You are there for me, Huong Que, at 0900. Bless you, for feeding me in my "early" morning blurry-eyed stupor. The flavors are fresh, and bright. That green scallion garlic sauce on the side, yes just dump all that in there. Do yourself a delicious favor. Yeah maybe even lick that little dish clean if it's early and no one will notice. Please note: place is cash only!! But for this pho I WILL MAKE IT RAIN. Update: still delicious. Still cash. Still 5+ stars Update: remains phenomenal. Arguably best phò ga in Oakland. You are open at 0730 now? Ok breakfast spot, with the phò that awakens my soul, after a long drive on the struggle bus called life. Thank you.
