Vietnamese Restaurants in Oakland

“Excellent, fast service. Delicious, filling (vegan!) Veggie noodle soup with Tofu and house made spicy sauce. More vegan options available that I will definitely come back for including Banh Mi and Vermicelli 😋

Vegetarian options: They offer Vegan Spring Rolls, Vegan Veggie Noodle Soup, Vegan Tofu Vermicelli, and Vegan Banh Mi options. The house made sauces are vegan too!“

“I had an amazing experience at Cam Anh Deli! The food is absolutely delicious, with a diverse range of authentic Vietnamese dishes that are both healthy and flavorful. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the service was exceptional—super friendly staff who made me feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for tasty, healthy Vietnamese food. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Mr. Ho a absolutely nice guy ho in Chinese is good we at a Vietnamese place. Our favorite place PhoKing food good and service recommended.

Parking: Convience for shopping area

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly and dog friendly outside seating

“I love Pho Vy! The environment is always very friendly and welcoming. Mom and pop shop located in Little Saigon. They have off menu items along with their variety of goodies on existing menu. My go to’s is their bun bo hue, bun rieu, bo kho, rice plates and all of their appetizers. Always a supporter of local mom and pop shops.“

“Back when they still had their location in Chinatown, this was the only place I’d buy Banh Mi sandwiches before they went mainstream. We’ve been their customer for almost 30 years.

Now that they only have this location open, we STILL only go here to buy Banh Mi sandwiches. It’s pretty much the best in Nor Cal.“

“Nothing on the menu disappoints, and there are a number of dishes that aren’t exactly common in Vietnamese restaurants in the US.

The grilled pork is really something else, though. Trying it for the first time was like a great first date; I couldn’t stop thinking about it.“

“Best banh mi place to go to in Oakland for decades. Been going here and their old location for decades. Very fine tuned business that is able to pass on savings to customers as opposed to other stores that keeps marking up. Very yummy, fresh, and reasonably priced.

Vegetarian options: Has spring roll options and bread options.

Parking: Beind the store. Pretty spacious, especially since there is a free parking on street too.“

“For those keen on savory Asian breakfast, this Chinese-Vietnamese noodle house in Oakland Chinatown is unbeatable. Though a bit divvy from the outside, the dining room is tidy and the atmosphere authentic — complete with wontons being handmade from the back table.#20. Cambodian Ho Fun: cooked-to-perfection, chewy rice noodles served in light, clean-tasting broth. Topped with pork slices, hand-cut ground pork, shrimp, fish balls and kidney. Garnish to taste with chili sauce and oil, hoisin, and jalapeño vinegar. Personal preference to leave the broth unadulterated (perfect as is!) while making a dipping sauce for the yummy soup toppings.An Oakland gem.“

“I went here after work! I was famished! I was so happy w how cute their decorations are! The music was lovely! Sauces chili oil so good! And i cant believe they have Banh Khot! As its a bit labor intensive. Ive only had it at Tayho. Well this is their mamas recipe! Its a crispy coconut crepe w shrimp. They gave me fancy butter lettuce shiso and mint wraps for each one! I feel so pampered! Its now my favorite order! Noodle soup too is perfect for winter rainy days. Parking is a lot and super convenient location! Thx so much for feeding this famished lady. ?

Kid-friendliness: Yes christmas decorations and festive music . Kids menu too!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp no incline really“

“Pho was great! Order was ready quickly compared to another spot I had tried to order from. I love having the option to select beef broth with my veggie pho! The soft fried tofu in the veggie pho was so good!! The grilled shrimp and pork spring rolls were delish too! Will definitely be back - nice to have so close to my home!“

“Just a fantastic little Vietnamese spot. While their pho is fantastic, and well worth ordering, the menu also features less standard fare like goat soups and various other specialties (I love the peanut noodle soup, which I order with mixed noodle). Efficient, friendly service and a clean, simple atmosphere.“

“It’s one thing when the food is great, but the staff was BEYOND amazing- my boyfriend accidentally left his phone behind and as we walked the man behind the counter chased us down to return it! We’ll definitely be coming back for their delicious bahn mis and their wonderful service“

“I’m sad that I have just found this spot and was missing out for so long. The sandwiches are huge and heavy (I normally split my sandwich). I would recommend calling in your order, as it normally takes 20 mins to make.

Our favorite sandwiches:

- Grilled Pork Vietnamese Sandwich: My favorite sandwich! Packed with tons of flavor but balanced with the pickled veggies
- Combo Vietnamese Sandwich
- Meatball and Egg Vietnamese Sandwich

I’m excited to try the whole menu eventually.“

“Fresh, delicious and great folks“

“Their pho combo is great for introducing someone to tripe and tendons or for converting someone that typically hates it. It seems cleaner there or that they trim off the less enjoyable parts. The soup is aromatic, not greasy and clear.

Rice plates and rolls are great.
GET THE PANDAN WAFFLE.

They also have a Street Fighter 2 cabinet.“

“I tried their Mango Salad and highly recommend it to open up your appetite and start your meal!

I had their Special Combo - Pho Dac Biet, which includes rare steak, well-done flank, brisket, tendon, tripe, and meatball noodle soup. The broth has a unique taste, leaning towards the sweeter side compared to other pho I've had before. It's definitely worth a try! The portion is huge, and the price is really decent and affordable.

There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant available for customers!“

“Step right up, order and pay first, menu on the wall - fast service, delicious, fresh ingredients, Spring rolls and egg rolls done just right - the meat is marinated and sweetened and perfectly grilled, the pickled carrots, green onion, daikon are all still fresh and nicely rice vinegared. Great lunch place, we'll be back to try the Banh Mi next!“

“We have loved this restaurant for over 20 years. The quality and flavor of the food is exceptional. My husband is Vietnamese and we have lived in Vietnam so we know what we're talking about. I love to order Bun Thit Nuong... which is marinated grilled pork over vermicelli rice noodles with fresh herbs and salad. My husband loves their soups. Today he Bun Ba Hue, which is a spicy beef soup from the Hue region of Vietnam with rice noodles.

This restaurant does not have an affiliation with the other one by the same name next to Lake Merritt.“

“We went when they opened at 4 pm on a Saturday after a show. Not only were they opened, but they seated us promptly. This is a nicely laid-out restaurant in the Rockridge area. They have a large vegan menu, and the food is authentic. I bit on the higher side but likely comparable to the neighborhood.

Vegetarian options: They have a large vegan selection with choices of "beef", "chicken", and "pork belly". You can't go wrong with any of them.“

“One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants! Great food, great service. Totally clean and good place to eat, not really a place for "atmosphere" but you wouldn't expect it to be. Get the combo rice plate with the pork hop and shrimp cake!“

“Get a fried banana! Its so good especially since theyre made fresh. Crispy on the outside and soft silky on the inside. What a treat!

Its a small spot, and mostly a grab and go for japanese inspired sandos, vietnamese noodle salads, and drinks like peach tea and green thai tea! There is also a small hot menu that is made to order at the front.

Egg salad sando was creamy and rich, peach tea refreshing, and green thai tea was a delicious treat.

I come back for the fried banana but always look forward to trying whatever they have in stock because its all really good!“

“Best bahn MI in Oakland . B9 no mayo is the vegan tofu option .tofu is cooked unlike anywhere else I've ever had it .It's really really good ! This is Oaklands #1 bahn mi spot hands down . Staff are also the nicest people ever . We are so lucky to have moms near by !“

“Good food and great environment, a little far from home to go very often.“

“This was my first time at Co Nam, and I have to say the restaurant has a cool vibe and great service. I ordered the pho 🍜, and while it was okay, it didn’t quite stand out for me. That said, I’m curious about their other dishes and will definitely give it another try soon. Overall, the atmosphere and service make it worth revisiting!“

“Great neighborhood Vietnamese Food. I had the BBQ pork plate and was impressed by the quality, however I felt that the portion size was a little on the smaller end.

The atmosphere feels like an old school hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant.

Would recommend !

“THE BEST PHO AND SERVICE HANDS DOWN! Born and raised out here, been to all the pho spots and we have a-lot of good ones but this one is my favorite. Once a week two #19s is what gets me through the week haha. Great portion and high quality meat always. Thank you Pho Mekong!!“

“First time coming to this place. I had the Pho Bo dac Biet, which is the house special beef noodle soup, featuring a combo of rare steak, well-done brisket, flank, fatty brisket, and meatballs!

The broth is clear and rich, and it really warmed me up on a cold day after work!“

“There is a reason they sell out early everyday! Really delicious grilled pork, chicken or combo bahn mi. The fresh baguette is my favorite part. There is something about it that makes the sandwich taste even better than other places.

Great value. $6 per bahn mi. If you buy 4 sandwiches, you get a $2 discount. My favorite bahn mis!“

“Cool drinks, yummy baked goods, awesome staff, sweet vibe. A real neighborhood joint with lots of great choices, including not just bona fide Vietnamese phin coffee, but also vegan and caffeine-free options. They also have boba, pudding, and jelly add-ins, with coconut, pandan, ube, and black sesame items. Just do it :)“

“Love 💕 the food here always yummy and tasty , great customer service, all the staff here nice and friendly, the great place think of when I hang out with my friends…..delicious boba drinks 🍹“

“Pho broth is still consistent. Have been eating there for decades except recent years. After trying out their number one, broth is still good. Warning, cash only so make sure have enough and beware of your surroundings since it's in Oakland. Lots of crime by blacks these days. We know why.

Parking: Limited free parking. If there is no more parking it can be hard to find parking during peak hours.“

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

“Ngon 😍cung đậm chất Việt Nam“

“I came in to the restaurant after my bag from another restaurant had ripped and asked for some bags. Not only did they not even hesitate to give me some but also were very kind and helpful. Thank you again, I can’t wait to come back and try your food, it looked so good!

Edit: came back to try the food and it was delicious!!“

“Missing the Daly City branch. I'm so glad my favorite pho place is in east bay now. Beef stew is my go to lots of meat. For the way pho restaurants charge nowadays I would say this place is fairly priced. No automatic gratuity. Nice parking space. Really must try“

“Had the BBQ chicken sandwich...it rocked! I am on the road a lot and need my lunches to carry me through to my late dinner. Not only was I full, but the made-to-order BBQ chicken was delicious... The balance of sweet spicy and their spread, wow!“

“Delicious pho ga. Soup is on point. Full of flavor.“

“I went to eat with my family on Saturday. I had a great meal here. The restaurant has a cozy and warm atmosphere. I miss the taste of my hometown so much. I will recommend it to my friends. The best vegetarian restaurant I have ever eaten at the recommendation of my relative when I came to America.“

“Love it here! This place feels exactly like Vietnam. All the uncles hanging outside drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes while the women are inside working hard! ?
Coffee is strong and delicious and the banh mi is excellent with fresh bread. Super affordable. CASH ONLY“

“The place is unkempt at times, yet I still find myself coming here a lot for their fried chicken dinner meal. Delicious, it also comes with some in-house made venegrate/pickled veggies, which reminds me of the shops on the countryside of Vietnam, delicious.

Their other dishes are great too.“

“My husband and I were starving after picking me up from work. He saw their sign on the way to get me so on the way home. I ordered the Asian chicken sandwich ($7.49) that was made with grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes pickled carrots on a freshly made baguette (My husband ordered the European roast beef sandwich ($10.99). It was a huge sandwich also made on fresh bread. The location is in an Asian grocery store so the atmosphere was just that. Not a problem.“

“Every time I come to town I stop for dinner. The paella is amazing. I also have an Anchor Steam every time I visit. I knew this time would be different with them (temporarily, hopefully) out of business. I so love this place.“
