Huong Tra Restaurant, Richmond CA

They are always friendly, fast for pickup of order, and delicious Pho! Thank you Huong Tra people!

I love the food but I have been there one to many times and I have seen how rude the staff is to their customers. They ignore certain people and when trying to get their attention after 15 mins of the staff ignoring you you finally have to get up and ask for help. Love the food but will never go back if you don’t like to be ignore and don’t like rude staff do not go to this place!

My parents took me here for my birthday and was very pleased with what I got. Also has some great soups.

Sat down, someone took my order. 20 minutes latwr, someone comes back and says, sorry, we didn't get your order. So, I had to go back to work hungry. Absolute joke

Super tasty bahn mi! Big fluffy bread and yummy pork. But that’s it…? Did I order wrongly, or is it supposed to come with lettuce and other ingredients inside?
UPDATE: I ordered it again today and it had all the customary vegetables inside, and it was NOMNOM

The food here is always amazing and the staff is great. They can be very busy, so patience is needed but well worth it! I think the longest we have waited for a pickup is 20 minutes and that was during a Friday dinner rush!

This restaurant is in a strip mall along San Pablo Avenue, Richmond, totally non descript, you'd never know it existed except by word of mouth (or TripAdvisor). The food here is very good for the price, which is why it never lacks for customers. Come here if you are cold and want a steaming hot bowl of Pho! Ahh, the broth is always tasty and authentic (unlike other "budget" Vietnamese, where the broth can taste like dishwater). Try the Shrimp & Papaya appetizer salad with minced peanuts. The sweet-sour-salty balance is always right and there is an interesting crisp vegetable that looks like a "penne" pasta that I don't know the name of. There is another ingredient, also of unknown origin due to my ignorance, that is crunchy and gives great texture to the salad, like a crouton. Yummy! Another good dish is the catfish claypot. The (bony) fish is in a caramelized sweet-salty sauce and is good for spooning over white rice. My favorite go-to when I'm in the East Bay and want something easy, cheap and non pizza.

Fantastic food! This location is very busy but still manages to have food ready in a reasonable time. - even when running late. Be mindful - they deal with A LOT of customers! There's no need to be rude to them; it saddens me to see unjustifiably angry customers talk to them badly. They are very nice, sometimes curt, but don't read into it.

I am a regular! The food is great)

The best Vietnamese food hands down. The staff is very friendly and the food is excellent! I cant wait to be able to sit inside again.

Delicious, if you're out this way try a #54 spicy chicken with yellow rice. I add cabbage and carrots to mine. To die for.

Huong Tra is an awesome vietnamaese restaurant hidden in a place you wouldn't think to look. I was lucky in stumbling on this place for the food is amazing! I've ordered quite a few different dishes from pho to banh mi's and I have enjoyed every bite.
