Our first time and we were not disappointed with all the beautiful dishes. Our 2 servers were wonderful. Recommended some dishes to us. The banh cuon was gorgeous. Cha ca la vong was sumptuous. Wife ordered spicy pho sate togo. We will be back to explore more of the menu.

I can confidently say Tay Ho is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Oakland! As a Vietnamese girlie who used to live in Orange County and had homemade meals from my mom, Tay Ho has all the right flavors and you can tell it’s high quality with good ingredients. I absolutely love clean, modern dining, so you can tell why Tay Ho is my fave spot. Service is great, vibes are great, and now to the food. 1. Banh Cuon Dac Biet - 5/5 - so good and lots of different styles of banh cuon and sides! Super solid and always fresh. Only available before 3pm. 2. Banh Xeo - 5/5 - super crispy and lots of fillings! 3. Banh Khot - 4/5 - this was my first time actually eating Banh Khot haha it was really good! It’s a bit too much coconut cream for me but still a solid pick if you like Banh Khot. 4. Bun Cha Ha Noi - 5/5 - this is so good AND they give you more than one meatball (cause a lot of viet restaurants it’s one meatball and the rest are the other thin cut meats). Very good but also on the expensive side. 5. Bo Tai Chanh - 4/5 - this was super good but I wish the Bo Tai was separated more - just felt like it was all stuck together but flavor is AMAZING! 6. Pho Dac Biet - 5/5 - so good an

Cool vibes and great food at this downtown Vietnamese establishment. There is a bar with counter seating. My favorite were the banh Khot. Recommend!

One of the best restaurants in Oakland and best Vietnamese restaurants I've ever eaten at anywhere. The food here is so crazy flavorful. We've been here a few times and honestly every single dish has been amazing. Most recently we tried some dishes outside of what we might usually order and had the fried catfish dish, the shrimp ban xeo and the vegan bo bun hue. Everything was so tasty and fresh. I couldn't believe how much flavor was in the vegan bo bun hue (I've also had the non vegan and it's very delicious as well). The beef carpaccio dish and glutinous dumplings are some other favorites. Portions are also super generous. The cocktails are also excellent and inventive. They're never too sweet, sometimes a little spicy and always balanced with a cute presentation. I really think you can't go wrong here! The first time we came was Tet which made it extra special! The staff is so wonderful. They can get busy but it's definitely worth the wait.

This is one of my favorite Vietnamese places in Oakland- food is delicious, service is excellent, and interior is nice. Would be good for a cute little date night. My favorite appetizer to get is the Banh Khot. Absolutely yummy! It’s crispy and has just the right amount of coconut and flavor. I’ve been here multiple times and it’s something I always order. I don’t think i’ve had anything bad from this place. Their drinks are really good as well. It’s a bit on the pricey side for Viet food, but it’s well worth for the taste and quality. Parking is on the street and I typically don’t have an issue finding something nearby.
