Pho King now has a much larger hole in the wall! They've moved to the old Merritt bakery. These guys are one of the best Pho places in the Bay Area. Very few have the all three of the holy trinity, Bun Bo Hue, Bun Rieu (with perfectly poached quail egg) and the Bo Tai Chanh, the raw beef appetizer. The raw beef is served with fried onion, peanut and lime and the lime slices are thin enough to eat the rind. This place hasnt missed a beat with the move. Perhsps even better.

Arguably my favorite pho joint in the US so far, and parts of europe and southeast asia (excluding vietnam). The quality varies throughout the day because it's made fresh on site. Great noodles; no clumped nonsense. Broth requires no sauces, it's that good. And a side of extra broth when asked for meat on the side is very unique. So pretty I have a photo of it on my fridge 3. I've even included a pic of the beef bones from backstage that they use for allllll the broths. If you're vegan or hindu, I feel sorry for you son. I got 99 problems but a pho bo ain't one!
