"For many years, Ao Sen was, in the eyes of many Vietnamese food connoisseurs, the be all and end all of Oakland’s pho scene — the one spot where you could score a consistently satisfying bowl. These days, pho enthusiasts have more options, but Ao Sen’s clean, rich beef broth is still a reliable favorite. The restaurant also has a newer location in Albany." - Paolo Bicchieri, Luke Tsai
