Monster Pho is consistently great. The quality of the food is unbeatable. I order extra Pho Noodle because I love them and the portion is great for the price.

I usually get beef, but was craving chicken pho today. Pros: the beef and chicken broths are consistently good. I always know what to expect. Cons: like the way the broth is consistently good, the chunks of chicken breast are ALWAYS tough and dry as can be, both in person and delivered. The first time I thought, "Maybe they accidentally overcooked it. It's easy to do that with breasts." Several months later, I ordered the chicken pho again and had the same thought as the first time. Then my partner ordered it a couple times and he said it was dry. While I generally appreciate consistency, this is the kind I can do without. Has it stopped me from ordering the chicken pho? Obviously not. I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment. The second and final con also has to do with, you guessed it, consistency. You have the option to choose the default regular size or upgrade for $1 to the large. I have ordered both sizes, but typically upgrade to the large because why not? The issue here is that the portion size varies from order to order. The large order I got today had tons of that dry chicken that I apparently love and an ample amount of noodles, broth, bean sprouts, etc. I couldn't finish it in one sitting. But the last time there were only three pieces of chicken, a small portion of noodles, and maybe 3/4 cup less broth. The time before that had more stuff than the previous order, but less than my current order. Not sure how they determine what makes the large size large and the regular size regular, but someone isn't following protocol. Despite my somewhat critical review, I do really like this place and will continue to give them my money.

I got the Monster Pho Combo(PHO DAC BIET) and the portion was large! I also got an extra side of the small broth but ended up not even needing it. The broth was delicious. I only wish they gave more noodles.

Their Pho Bo is the stuff of dreams. It's my go to for any rough day, or if I'm feeling under the weather. Their beef broth is flavorful and nothing short of healing, and my girlfriend loves the gyozas (I have celiacs and can't have them).

Veg Pho has literally brought me back to life when being sick - delicious, warm and satisfying 11/10, fried tofu was bangin and delicious as well! This place is one of the best spots in Oakland for Pho
