12221 San Pablo Ave. #8/after MacDonald Ave., (510) 234-7428. L-D M-Sat; $. No reservations.
Located in a strip mall, this formerly small place recently knocked out a wall and doubled in size. Huong Tra continues to serve up large portions at bargain-basement prices but now without a wait line. Tabletops are polished granite, chopsticks and forks are wrapped up neatly in a napkin, and beer glasses are chilled.
Sure things on the extensive menu include the fabulous #5 Vietnamese crispy pork-and-shrimp pancake with fresh herbs (super messy and super good),
the #54 spicy chicken rice plate,
and the crispy prawns served atop a sort of onion-ginger salad.
Additional popular dishes include shrimp fried rice, lemon-beef salad with minced peanuts, and a cubed beef rice plate that is a version of shaken beef (bo luc lac). Rice plates and vermicelli bowls are generally good, as are shrimp dishes. Drinks include a good Thai iced tea, iced coffee, and boba smoothies.
