“Delicious rice noodle soup at a reasonable price. Many flavors of soups you can choose from. One bowl of noodles rice is big enough for two people to share. Fried egg is a special combination with the soup.

We had a complimentary brown sugar tofu pudding during our 2nd trip for lunch. It's great value if you take the set menus or order it through Fantuan apps.“

“Good stuff. Try the fried chicken leg meal. For 14.99 you get rice, a fried egg, a whole fried chicken leg, some pickles and lettuce, a large egg roll and a small bowl of broth. The chicken was cooked nicely and everything tasted great.
The chicken is cooked to order.

This is the Chinese Vietnamese version of Jollibee, but it tastes better.

The waitresses were attentive and friendly
Will will return.“

“Overall, the side dishes were clean and the food was delicious, including budae jjigae, kimchi stew, seafood and green onion pancakes, and stir-fried pork.

The store was clean and the dining table was nice.
Group dining is possible for families, and the service is friendly and good.“

“Amazingly authentic. Even have a kid running the register/doing homework! You will be greatly missed...“

“Went here for the first time with my sister who has been here several times before and Omg! Everything was incredible 🤤 we got there pretty late so the kitchen had run out of a few things but everything that we tried was so good! Very hot and fresh, we ordered several appetizers to share and I loved everything. Then the entrees came out and they were all beautifully presented, and so flavorful! This place really is a gem and I will definitely be stopping by when I’m in the area again.“

“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!“

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!“

“The picture says it all. 😋“

“Overall 6/10 (where 5 is average and 10 is the best meal I've ever had)

I got the Pickled Vegetables and Shredded Pork soup noodles and a Fried Tofu. Unfortunately the grill wasn't on for skewers (I dined early before dinner rush).

Pickled Vegetables and Shredded Pork soup noodles
- Broth wasn't that flavorful and looked and tasted a little like boiled dumpling water (which isn't necessarily bad). There was a lot of sesame oil and was too salty
- Noodle texture was the saving quality. Great chew.

Fried Tofu
- There was a lot of tofu in each piece which was great.
- It wasn't seasoned well. Quite plain; there was a sort of sweet soy oil at the bottom of the plate but being that it's fried tofu, it wasn't a great mix.“

“Overall Good & Reasonable Price“

“Having enjoyed their dishes many times for months, It’s beyond “Very Satisfying”! Excellent, delicious food! Quality well maintained although it is a hard time under C-19. Hygiene suggestions n requests well followed! Thanks 🙏 Customer Service outstanding! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Decent, if not generic, place for Vietnamese food. I had the pork chop with broken rice and it was pretty good. The restaurant itself looks pretty rundown, however, with a lot of the decor being leftover pieces from the thai restaurant that occupied this space several years prior to Pho Lan. The ceiling also has a lot of visible mildew and sealant or something spread around that makes it look like it's in the process of being renovated, and the overall atmosphere is slightly dull. Other than that, however, it's quite clean. Staff was super friendly, however, and service was fast since there was only one other person other than myself there at the time as it was a weekday. Overall, it's worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving Vietnamese food.“

“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!“

“First timers! Bahn Mi's were so good! customer service was very courteous, and quick. Food was delicious, portions were worth the price. Soups looked amazing also!“

“great food and customer service! we came here based on another review and we were not disappointed!“

“Good food, good service, reasonable prices“

“Pho or Yunnan? Yunnan for me. I think it’s healthier. Nothing like a bowl of numbing soup in the winter. The rice noodles go down so nice and the toppings are more elegant in taste and texture. The soup base really takes it. Can’t go wrong with the fish fillets.“

“Enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, was provided excellent service and hospitality, and the food was amazing.“

“Awesome Thai food, very friendly people. Hard to find dishes like pad kaprao, Thai sausages, and more authentic Som Tum than often found in Aus. Really awesome will be back. Thank you. :-)“

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

“目前最喜歡的螺絲粉😍😋“

“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.“

“Judging by its name you can't really tell what kind of Chinese food Ark Chinese restaurant offers. I think it was probably a noodle restaurant focusing on items from northern China. However it seems that the new owners have hired a cook that can also make Cantonese dishes. As a result the menu is more extensive and there are quite a few selections to choose from.

We ordered the pan fried green onion pancake, hand pulled beef noodle soup, tomato beef chow mein, beef stew noodles and sweet sour ribs. All were fairly good but I should note that the flavors were quite intense...as in too much salt or too much sugar. If you do pay a visit, keep that in mind. You may want to tell them to cut back on the salt and spices.

More importantly the prices are quite reasonable for a restaurant on Park Street in Alameda. Entrees, dinner items, generally run around 15 dollars or so.

The decor is ho-hum but the dining room is certainly quiet....perhaps too quiet , or maybe we were there too early. They could use some flowers or some paintings to liven up the place. Maybe play some K pop or something. The wait staff are friendly and helpful though.

if you're looking for an inexpensive place to eat before you see a movie or just in the area, give Ark Chinese restaurant a try. The food might assault your taste buds but the prices won't assault your wallet.“

“Delicious food and great service. We love many dishes from this restaurant“

“I was looking at the menu online and tried to order the 香菇素菜包. To my surprise, they eliminated that item without update the website. Then, I order something else, they put my order of 3 buns in a box about 2 Inches height. Those 3 buns were flatten by the time I opened it at home.“

“Excellent food! The Pho was amazing clear and so yummy! Can’t wait to try more items on the menu; next time!“

“Our family was happy to see China Station back up and running! We had been customers for 25 years under the original owners. Although the original owners are gone, walking into the restaurant still gave us a warm, cozy feeling.

The signature garlic chicken wings are still here! The taste is almost identical and it has the same texture with the crispy sensation in every bite.

The slight disappointment was the “hot” garlic chicken wings with the red pepper flakes are no longer an option. The is a new spicy chicken wing on the menu which will definitely leave your lips and tongue tingling.

There are some interesting new options on the menu which we do want to try with our next visit.“

“good soup, portion and taste“

“Great combo beef Phô (all the good stuff, including tripe and tendon), a large amount of meat, plus your choice of noodles... I got egg noodles and loved it.

Served in under 5 minutes...

... Huge bowl, delicious ? broth.

Considering how expensive going out to eat is today, this is the best phô deal around.

I highly recommend this restaurant... It deserves a higher score on Google.“

“A convenient lunch destination after arriving on Oakland Airport and heading southbound toward Fremont. If you are a soup noodle lover, this is great place, good selection on noodle type, combo of proteins and good selections on drinks. Good comfort food after getting off the airport.“

“Haven't been to Chai Thai Noodle for a while, way before the pandemic. Probably 5-6 years, sister said they have $5 happy hour noodles samplers (4 kinds of noodles- see photos for the specials).I suggested order 2 different bowls of noodles per person if you're hungry, that's only $10! The boat noodles were our favorites.“

“Ngon 😍cung đậm chất Việt Nam“

“Im a big fan of their Phò, grilled chicken and shrimp vermicelli and their pastries . The staffs and owner Alice are very attentive and go their way to know their customers/guests. I highly recommend La Patisserie“

“The Chinese food is amazing if you want to try Authentic Chinese cuisine this is the place it’s a hole in the wall spot in East Oakland California in the hood but it’s worth it don’t let the neighborhood stop you from e getting great foods AMust try“

“Great food, variety, and quality of ingredients. Healthy options–gluten free, vegan, and dairy free friendly.“

“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“

“I’m an regular customer and I’ve been eating for an long time and the food in that place was quite fantastic and casual but enjoyable times 👍✨“

“The best Phở in California!“

“They expanded their menu. Great Korean dishes as well as Japanese sushi roll. This place is great quality and probably the best priced compared to neighboring sushi restaurants. Their Korean BBQ plate is better than Mama Cho's that used to be in Castro Valley. This is the only good Korean food restaurant in Castro Valley. The sushi rolls are wonderful as well as their ramen. This place is a must try.“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“I love this place because it is affordable, the food is good and pretty healthy but not too healthy.
Seems like a silly statement but it really matters when you go to a place regularly. Hainan chicken rice is very good but so are the other dishes that I have tried here.“

“Try the beef tongue“
