This is a fairly basic restaurant that is very busy and one step up from a cafe. That shouldn’t put you off though as the food is fresh and excellent. Great vegetables that are very fresh and anything with prawns in was tasty. Cooked well and the dishes appear as they are produced. Quick service but fairly typical Vietnamese service (I.e. a little curt to be polite). It is worth noting that it is also cash, no cards, so be warned. Despite all that a good relaxing meal to have with friends. Gets very busy early in the evening as young people clearly come in for a cheap and quality meal and gets very noisy but by 8.00 its thinning out and much quieter. We did book but when we arrived two of our seats had been given away on the large sharing tables. Worth a try however.

Always so efficient and quick. Not to mention tasty noodles. Avoid the fried chicken wings.

This is a small restaurant but with excellent food and flavors. I have been here few times and tried different soup noodles as well as their vermicelli bowl. They have all been really good. The menu tends to be smaller than most Vietnamese restaurants but the flavors more than compensate for the selections.

Dropped in while getting some work done on my car during lunch. There was a big party here but even though they were busy, the gentleman serving us was very friendly and helpful. The best part is I ordered a Bun Rieu and it was super delicious. Most of the places in the Bay Area I have ordered this soup generally do not use crab to complete the dish, where even then it is not perfectly traditional as usually it is made with crab roe. BUT, there certainly was crab and the broth was clear and fresh. I felt happy walking out because the food was simply that delicious. Thanks! Best bun rieu I have had in the Bay Area.

This place is so delicious! Everything is super savory. Service is super fast. And they have now teas and really yummy passion fruit juice. One of my favorite spots in Oakland!

Small, clean and authentic. What more could I ask for? 7 tables, 4 of which are high tops with a view (of an empty lot, but it is still a view!). The place is small, and the set up doesn’t easily accommodate for parties more than 4. That is probably the only negative I could say about this gem. I had passed by here dozens of times and noticed them, but I finally gave them a shot today and am definitely coming back soon with the wife.

Different Vietnamese food, not a pho restaurant. I had hu tieu dac biet, very delicious broth, full of flavor but not heavy. Also the cafe sua da was excellent, could really taste the coffee, not too sweet.

Came in here for some Vietnamese ice coffee. I am not disappointed. Strong, sweet, hint of bitter coffee. Very good blend. Very strong. Definitely woke me up.
