"Oakland’s best pho spots generally sit east of Lake Merritt, and the quality tends to quickly diminish the farther north you go. One exception to the rule is Monster Pho, where the broth is rich with beef, star anise, and cinnamon. Bonus points: Wine, beer, and pandan coconut waffles for dessert." - Janelle Bitker
