    Glad to find a sugarcane spot in Hayward. No need to drive to SJ or Oakland to grab some. Sugarmama is located near City Hall in downtown Hayward. The menu is still pretty short for now, but they mentioned they're working on expanding it. I ordered their grilled pork banh mi and it was really good. Packed with a generous amount of meat, the bread had that perfect texture (crunchy on the outside but soft and airy on the inside). Best part, it didn't hurt my upper gums (iykyk). For drinks, I got the baby jug of their OG sugarcane drink and also tried the strawberry sugarcane. Both were refreshing and super satisfying. Definitely planning to come back to try more of their drink flavors and other food items once the menu grows!

    4 combination banh mi & sugarcane juice with calamansi
    Sandy Q.

    It's been a while since we had banh mi so I thought I'll send my husband here to pick up lunch. We bought 4 combination banh mi and sugarcane juice with calamansi. When I took a bite into the banh mi, i thought the flavor was off. The sandwich itself lacked flavor but I couldn't figure out what the problem was, until i opened up the sandwich to take a look. Well, there was barely any mayo, the pate was the size of a teaspoon, the ham was missing (saw steamed pork roll instead), the "pickled" carrots and daikon did not have any tartness or flavor to it, and all of our sandwiches had more carrots with a few strands of daikon. The only thing I enjoyed was the sugarcane juice. It was slightly sweet with a hint of tartness.

    Still in soft opening but decided to stop by as it's near my hairdresser's spot. Small storefront and set up for take out only with a few plastic stools to sit on if you choose. Ordered at the counter and decided on a BBQ Pork Bahn mi and the mango sugarcane drink. Small bites not yet available during soft opening until they get set up a bit more. Vietnamese sandwich with nicely seasoned pork with hints of lemongrass, very thin spread of pate, spiciness from the jalapeno, crunch from the cucumber and marinated, julienne, pickled carrots and daikon (Đồ Chua) but no cilantro available. Personally, I could take it or leave it but it definitely changes the flavor of the sandwich without it. Sugarcane drink was refreshing but not my thing. Has a floral, almost grassy with honey taste to me...just a preference and will stick with their delicious sandwich and small bites in the future. Definitely give it a try to experience freshly pressed sugarcane! Service straightforward and quick. Price for sandwich ($8) and drink ($7). Reasonably priced for a Vietnamese sandwich these days. Plenty of street parking. Soft opening hours: Friday-Sunday (10am-3pm)

    Sugarmana Sugarcane opened recently where Marley's Treats was. Limited weekend hours presently. Single table inside. Outside seating on concrete barriers available. Street parking or parking lot in back. Sugarcane imported from Vietnam, same de juiced on site with machine. Soft vocal music in background. Short line. Served quickly, with courtesy. credit card only. Eats ready in 5ish minutes. Offerings (Vietnamese): Banh mi, mon nham( small Bites), Nuoc Mia( sugarcane juice, juices) Bites: Combo Banh Mi (8) -8" baquette overloaded with proteins: pork ham, head cheese ham. Crust was chewy not crunchy. Banh mi felt dry-pate & mayo not juicy enough. Veggies: jalepenos, cilantro, picked daikon & carrots shreds, cucumbers were fresh, not overwhelming. 4.5 stars Worthy! Quantity: more than others, great value! Quality: Ok. Needs tweaking. A diverse patronage, not just Asian Americans.

    Nice little place downtown that offers vietnamese options! It's nice that they have different flavors of sugarcane and the lychee one I got had good flavor of both lychee and sugarcane. I was disappointed that my drink had all this foam on top so I didn't feel like I got a full drink especially when I noticed others did not have foam. The banh mi itself was lacking flavor overall. I felt there was way too many pickled carrots tipping the ratio too much in that flavor. The carrots also were in small pieces so that made it harder to eat since they were falling. I prefer longer thin pieces. Glad the sandwiches come with pate, though! The menu was different on the one near the register vs the wall. They made some changes but wish they made it more clear. They also didn't offer the appetizer bites that day.

    Delish n refreshing!

    I absolutely love having fresh sugar cane juice just around the corner from home. It's such a refreshing treat! What makes this spot even more exciting is the variety of bánh mì they offer--so many unique kinds that I haven't had the chance to try yet. I'm really looking forward to coming back soon, not only to explore their diverse bánh mì selection but also to sample their creative sugar cane juice blends. It's the perfect little local gem that brightens my day every time! Give em a try! Support local biz...

    Stumbled upon this since it came up on my FYP during soft opening weekend. Great to see more options like Sugarmama pop up in Hayward! Sugarmama took over the spot that Marley's (a Filipino bakery) previously was at. It's still in soft opening phase, so be patient as they work through things, such as food since that is a new part of their business. We got the calamansi cane, Vietnamese coffee, and two banh mi (bbq pork and combo pork). The drinks were good, although I wish the cup size was a little bigger. The calamansi really came through and the sugarcane balanced well with it. My husband thought it was just ok and would've preferred having the sugarcane on its own. I was happy that the coffee was strong and not overly sweet. The banh mi were on the dry side - the bun was a little hard for my taste, and the bbq pork was a bit dry. It would have been nice if the meat was warm but everything was room temp. There could have been more veggies to balance out the ingredients, but I think it was a reasonable amount for the price. I'm not sure I would get it the banh mi again, but the drinks are definitely the star of this place. Overall the prices are very reasonable as everything is under $10. I would try their egg rolls next time but they weren't selling them today. You can see the cold pressing the sugarcane fresh at the front of the store.

    OMG a sugarcane spot in Hayward?! This is so, so exciting since sugarcane shops are hard to come by . I only know of ones in San Jose and South SF. I ordered a mini jug of calamansi cane and it did not disappoint - super refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness! They offer several other places at well but calamansi is by far my favorite wherever I go. I also ordered a combination banh mi (cold cuts) which was just okay. I think the whole thing overall could have been more flavorful and the bread could have had better texture, but I also have a very high standard for banh mi since we always get them in east side SJ. I would be willing to give the sandwiches another try once they are established, but I will definitely be back for the sugarcane soon!

    This new business just took over a Filipino bakery, right down the street from Trams Coffee. It's a pleasure to see more Vietnamese businesses open up in Hayward! Originally came for the sandwich but the sugarcane was a big motivating factor to come here. They had a lot of options for sugarcane flavors, some I have not see combined together before like dragonfruit, mango or strawberry. My wife chose the calamansi, a nice tarty/citrus flavor. I enjoyed the citrus taste to the sweetness of the cane. The original was delicious and refreshing. They sell jugs in different sizes, such as a baby jug that was a nice amount. Sugarcane can't be stored for long so the baby jug is a good size to drink throughout the week or in 1 day, your choice. I ordered a bbq chicken, while my wife ordered the combination banh mi. They stuffed a ton of chicken in my sandwich, the chicken itself was flavorful with a lemon grass taste. It all went downhill from there because the toppings and chicken fell right out and made a mess. It was a messy banh mi, I think in part from the bread itself. It was a weak structured bread that can use more form. My wife's combination banh mi could use a little more flavor, it was stuffed with meat but lacked a little more umami like more liquid seasoning. Overall, we really enjoyed the drinks, something we would love to come back to get anytime. The banh mi needs more improvements for it to be comparable to San Jose type of places. I hope this business does well as we will be coming back!

    Walked downtown Hayward and saw a cute little sugarcane juice shop and had to check it out. They are only doing a soft opening right now so they are only open on the weekends. I got a calamansi sugarcane drink this time. I didn't know what to expect in flavor, but this drink was so refreshing and fresh I had to slow myself in drinking it all in a couple of minutes. There are other flavors like dragon fruit sugarcane, mango sugarcane, passion fruit sugarcane and more. The snacks and bahn mi sounded good on the menu but this time I just went for the juice. The shop is small and only stools to sit. Parking is best at parking garage as there is limited parking in front of the shop. Wish there were more sizes in the drinks. Next time I will try another flavor and try the food! Hopefully they will open for the rest of the week.

    I have been following Sugarmama since their early food festival days, and they have always provided simple yet freshly pressed sugarcane juice with all fruit purées. Every single one of their drinks are absolutely amazing and I will always keep looking forward to coming back for one of their refreshing drinks. They also offer banh mi and egg rolls at a competitive value with generous portions, so if you're looking for a quick bite at a great price, look no further.

    Stopped by earlier today for the first day of their soft opening in downtown Hayward. We had tried them in the past at a food market event and remembered how refreshing their drinks were and wanted to support them on their new opening. When we walked in we could immediately see they had been making their sugarcane drinks fresh and we were greeted right away. We ordered their calamansi cane and mango cane to drink and decided to split a combination bahn mi. The drinks were very refreshing but I will say that I think citrusy fruits pair better with the sugarcane. So I'd recommend the calamansi before the mango. But the bahn mi was also delicious! Did not look like they skimped on the ingredients at all (no photo because we inhaled it). Overall I'm sure we'll be back a few more times and can't wait to keep supporting another downtown Hayward business. If you're thinking of visiting your best bet for parking is either the parking garage across the street or praying you get lucky with street parking

Regarding the viet coffee, this one was particularly strong, with a definite higher proportion of coffee to condensed milk that doesn't offend but also risks being a bit TOO strong (wild to say that when all viet coffee at its core is strong).

Alas we got here and the parking lot in the back was empty... we walked in and it was empty and this lovely lady greeted us and told us to sit wherever we wanted and moved flowers aside to give us the bigger table. They had high chairs which was great! Divey vibes with display cases of baked goods and some potted flowers and plants - cozy! My hubs looked at the menu and made eye contact with our friends and said "uhoh - all english menu has me nervous. Pretty Empty. Nervous." Then the lady who greeted us - she joyfully came out with a bowl of chicken pho and noodles for our baby and said "I take your order but baby can eat first!" - she was so thoughtful and sweet and the bowl was perfect! Bits of chicken and noodles and clear broth... my baby loved it! She took our orders and the food came! I got the BanhXeo and it was big and full of chicken and some shrimps some sprouts and onions and the crepe had such great coconut flavor and texture. My hubs liked his Bun Bo Hue and our friends enjoyed the vermicelli noodle dish as well. As we sat and enjoyed the goodness of our meal that was when the traffic steadily moved through - saw about 7 to 8 different folks walking in and making orders and waiting for their meal and leaving - and some pick ups. It turned out to be a very busy restaurant. The kind lady - she then came back to our table after the dinner rush of to go orders were through - she chatted our table up some and she was telling us that she was the baker and gave us a small bag of macaroons. Her name is Alice and she is so kind. She mentioned that lunch can be very very busy because of the workforce coming through - but I'm glad we were there for dinner and got a nice laugh and conversation with her... the outside was filled with pots of flowers and plants lined along the parking lot and she had some outdoor cats just nestled in the plants. A lovely experience. Her macaroons were so yummy too! We will definitely keep in mind coming here when we're in the area!

    Amazing food and desserts! Wonderful Vietnamese cuisine with French pastries and desserts…read more The combination soup is a go to. Vietnamese sandwiches are great and affordable. Macaroons, Tarts, and Meringues are a perfect finish.

    Have been to their sister shop in SJ so was keen to try our local one here. Parking is super easy…read morein the public lot behind the shop row. Ambiance is cool, very airy and inviting. Came for a weekday lunch, 3 of us and got seated right away no problem. Love the special options on the menu, so many interesting things to try! The koong karee (prawn curry) and har mok seafood were my favorite. Special mention for the khao soi too! Big portions and took home enough for another meal. Prices are a little higher than the usual Thai joint but it's worth it.

    The rating for this restaurant mainly comes from the service our party experienced. Our waitress…read morecame across unengaged and unfriendly to our family. She was annoyed with the questions we inquired about the menu, especially so with the curry. In one instance, when we asked about recommendations beyond the Massaman short rib (as we thought it was too large and expensive) and green curry, mainly inquiring between the yellow and red curry, the lady responded by saying she already told us the green curry was good. Otherwise, the food was still delicious. The crab omelet was our winner. The portions are filling. Unfortunately just didn't have the best experience and having visited this place last year I also had a similar (though more positive) service experience.

    Red Chili is really THAT GOOD. My mom loved every dish which says more than enough!…read more All dishes were 10/10: garlic noodles, fish sauce wings, honey walnut shrimp, Vietnamese short ribs It's a fast casual style which was perfect for my family. Their Thai food was so good too the roti cani and any noodle dishes. The cat fish fried is incredible too. We already want to go.

    I visited Red Chili Restaurant on March 14, 2026 around 8:11 PM with my wife and nephew. We noticed…read morethe prices were a little higher compared to when we used to dine here before, but the service was good and the food came out on time. We ordered five dishes: seafood soup, choo chee fish fillet, pad kee mao, roti canai, and rice. The food was good and we ended up eating about half of our meal and asked for to-go boxes to take the rest home. Unfortunately, on our way home we realized we forgot the to-go bag with all the leftover food at the restaurant. I immediately called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager. I was told they had already thrown the bag away because they waited for a while and were preparing to close. I returned to the restaurant around 8:45 PM to ask about it in person. I spoke with one waitress who said there was no manager available. Another waitress came over and I explained the situation again. She said there was nothing they could do, and the conversation became unpleasant. When I expressed my frustration, she told me to go ahead and contact a lawyer and then told me to leave the store. I understand mistakes happen and that food may sometimes be thrown away for safety reasons, but the way the situation was handled was disappointing and unprofessional. A little understanding or better customer service would have gone a long way. We used to enjoy coming here, but this experience left a bad impression.

    2Oi is an home kitchen that opened 2 years ago in Argyle Palms Apartments. Initially I didn't know…read morehow to order. Lately, I saw instructions posted on their website on Yelp. I called to place order. Got a recording. Got a return call confirming my order. Found it's better to text with C6 or F7 unless one can speak Vietnamese. Main associate lacks English proficiency. Much easier for her to get "code" Place was an easy find. Street parking slightly difficult. Unknown if parking in their lot is permissible. Went towards big building on the right . Found unit with "Taste of Asia" brochure on window. Just before the gate. Bingo! Stood in front of open door until Vietnamese lady came out with my order. $21 cash. Unknown if Zelle has tax added to it. Tipped a little. Lady hesitated to give change. Offerings (Vietnamese): street food, drinks, coffee. Sips: Cafe Muoi Bien (sea salt foam Vietnamese coffee, 7)-Viet coffee, sea salt foam, condensed milk. -coffee didn't look full. No doubt foam on top shrank/mixed into coffee. -bold coffee with alternating sweet & salty tastes depending on sipping foam or condensed milk. Bites: Banh Trang Cuon (Vietnamese Special roll, 14). There's also a salad version with same ingredients & no wrapping. -dipping sauce had sweet & savory notes. -rice roll had dominant theme of beef jerky. The surrounding nuanced taste was a symphonic medley of carrots, quarter sectioned boiled eggs, coriander, green mango, dried shrimp, fried onions, peanuts & green mangos, 5 stars Worthy! Quality: freshly premade. Quantiy: ample enough for a meal. Would repeat. *Taste of Asia "passport" given to win prizes from buying from food vendors in Oakland Chinatown & San Leandro Asian businesses.

Fast and efficient and they accept cash/zelle…read more Needed a pick me up on a work trip and ordered the chia seed and grass jelly Vietnamese coffee since that was a unique mix I haven't had before and I've had a lot of Viet coffee. Couldn't ask for a better drink, it had the right amount of sweetness and creaminess you'd expect in Viet coffee. edit: my mistake! only zelle and cash :)
