SIDESTREET PHO
•Job Description•Summer 2026 Sidestreet Pho is a well-established, high-volume, full service Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Alameda. We are currently looking for a generalist front of house staff to start as soon as possible. Sidestreet Pho's mission is to provide the best Vietnamese food to people of all backgrounds and ages.

The Story:
When founder Hanh Nguyen was a child, her parents ran a Vietnamese restaurant, Thanh My, in the Westminster/Garden Grove area. Ms. Hanh grew up in that restaurant at a time when the restaurant was surrounded by strawberry fields. Since then, that area has grown to be one of the largest Vietnamese communities in the states with Thanh My as one of core institutions. Thanh My will be turning 50 in 2028. At the center of Thanh My's story was the desire to serve the best food and hospitality possible to guests of all ages and backgrounds. Founder Hanh and her husband have brought that DNA north to the Bay Area through Sidestreet Pho, where we continue to serve traditional Vietnamese food for a diverse guest base.
