Pho Vy Vietnamese Cuisine

This unassuming, family-owned Vietnamese joint in Oakland is known for their signature beef stew—a hearty mix of beef brisket, flank, shank and tendon with carrots and onions. Order it with vermicelli rice noodles and you’ve got a decadent bo kho pho. On Wednesday nights, it’s worth eating it inside the spacious, no frills dining room where you can get a side of karaoke with your noodles.
