    The chicken noodle is delicious. Broth immaculate. The rice roll so good. I LOVE this place. I will always come back. I ate so fast lol the chicken gizzards are really good too

    Bun Bo Hue

    I was in area dropping off things for friend and have been wanting to try this place for a while since I LOVE banh cuon. A lot of places don't make it, and rhis place is solid. GRANTED, I wish there was more wood ear mushrooms in the filling but it was good regardless. Bun Bo Hue was more shrimp paste forward than lemongrass, but it was good. I like that they had the herb that goes with it but I miss that there was no shredded cabbage or bean sprouts. Overall for two with leftovers, price is decent would be coming back to try the pho.

    Chicken Pho ($14.50)

    I'm gonna give this place a solid three, maybe three and a half stars. I'd like to give it the four it has on Yelp, but it was underwhelming in some respects and didn't meet my expectations, especially in terms of friendly service. They were cordial - I was greeted and served promptly - but no one checked in on me or asked how the food was. It was very businesslike. Even at checkout, the interaction felt flat. They had a steady stream of customers, and food came out in about 10-15 minutes. I got the chicken pho. The ginger scallion sauce was a first for me and was amazing - I'd go back just for that. Noodles and broth were good, but the shredded chicken was very chewy. At $14.50, the price was fair, but I'd only return because it's cheaper than other spots. They gave sprouts, peppers, and lemon - but no basil. Also, options were limited - just poultry, beef, and one seafood soup. No tofu or fish. So yeah, three to three and a half stars.

    Banh cuon
    Jaky Y.

    Popped by for lunch on a Saturday. Wing Wah js bustling with a constant stream of customers. We ordered the banh cuon and a pho ga. Everything came super fast, and the banh cuon was a massive portion. The chicken in the pho ga was flavorful, and we appreciated that the food came with blanched mung beans (usually raw) and a generous portion of ginger scallion oil. Service was prompt and friendly.

    Banh cuon so fresh and tasty!

    Decided to try Wing Wah after I found out my usual Pho Ga spot is temporarily closed. I'm so glad I tried them out! Not sure if it's because of the other Pho Ga spot's closure but, I did have to wait about 15 minutes on a Saturday around 1pm. Not a bad wait at all though, and people come and go pretty quickly so if I came like 20 minutes later, I probably wouldn't have had to wait at all. I love that they have Banh Cuon here. It's one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes. It's really good, soft and fresh here, but a little too much rice paper for me. I'd still get it every time I come though because it's the best I've had in East Bay so far! As for the Pho Ga, the noodles and broth were so delicious. I could drink that broth all day every day - good for the soul. I couldn't finish my huge bowl, but I finished all the soup for lunch the next day. By the way, definitely spend the extra dollar to get the large - it is so worth it! Two meals for $15 is such a steal in today's economy - and for such tasty and healing food too! The only downside was the bone-in chicken was a little on the tougher side. I'd probably try the shredded chicken version next time to see if it's softer. I added chicken gizzards too and surprisingly they were actually so soft! Definitely better than any other Pho Ga gizzards I've had. All in all, I'm glad I got to try Wing Wah and I'll be back for sure, especially since Winter is upon us. Oh one other thing worth mentioning is this is the first place I've seen have lettuce as a mix-in for the pho - usually it's just bean sprouts? I personally will ask them to pass on the lettuce next time because boiled romaine isn't exactly my favorite way to have romaine, but the bean sprouts are delish.

    Banh cuon and a chicken
    Wing L.

    This is the best place to get banh cuon in the bay. They are not skimpy with the filling and it's seasoned well. Add the fish sauce and perfection We also usually get the full chicken. It comes with the ginger scallion sauce which just takes it to the next level. Great pricing. Street parking so we usually call ahead and do pick up. Avoid lunch hours if you can cuz they get busyyyy.

    So delicious! Can't beat a bowl of fresh chicken noodle soup for $13.00! The chicken is fresh and the ginger oil is made right. Some places add sugar to their oil and I'm not a fan of that. It's a big bowl and you can easily share the regular size bowl. I love that they give you a lot of broth so you slurp or drink it. Be sure to ask for a side of the fresh chili to add a kick! They only offer sriracha at the table for spicy condiment. Also, love the fresh steam rice roll with ground pork. It comes with fresh Asian herb and salad. Service: quick and nice people Tip: cash is king Parking: street only

    Bun cuon and shredded chicken with ho fun pho.
    Christina N.

    The food here is really good. I ordered the shredded chicken pho with ho fun noodles and bun cuon. Both are super flavorful and the noodles are nice and chewy. The women working there are so sweet and the food comes quick, which I love. Parking is always easy right in front. There's always lots of people coming and going. There are about 8-9 tables inside and there's a small bathroom. It's not the fanciest but it's clean and the food is so comforting and fresh. Can't wait to go back!

    TL;DR: very good value and very tasty food, street is kinda ghetto but parking is not difficult Saw really good reviews on Yelp for this place so we decided to check it out so we could get both Vietnamese style Hainan chicken rice AND banh cuon! I never say no to banh cuon when I see it in the menu. Service was decent and the food came out pretty quickly even though the restaurant was quite crowded. Lots of old people so you know it's legit. Restaurant is old but well maintained. Banh cuon: one of the best I've had in the east bay - the rolls were well put together and structurally sound. Filled with a generous amount of ground pork and mushrooms, and went deliciously with the fish sauce. Yum! Hainan chicken rice: there were two types of chicken rice on the menu and I didn't really know what the difference is. The chicken was very flavorful, and tasted like free range chicken that you get in southeast Asia. The rice was also quite tasty but the soup was a bit of a letdown. The ginger scallion sauce they served it with was fire. Every table in the restaurant had at least one plate of this chicken rice or just a plate of chicken so you know it's a must order. Chicken pho / pho ga: the soup in this was pretty flavorful, better than the soup served with the rice. It used the same chicken so was delicious, and the veggie plate they served alongside was pretty generous. Everything was a decent price, and very good value. I would definitely go back for the banh cuon

    The best banh cuon in the bay
    Hoyan L.

    The BEST banh cuon in the Bay. If you're looking for banh cuon, this is it right here at Wing Wah. The rolls have the perfect texture, soft, filled with pork and wood ear mushroom. The outer skin is thin but they are not falling apart. Paired with the fish sauce they are sooo good!! An order comes with 10 rolls, so pretty great portion size. Their pho ga is also so delicious and comforting. We got the half chicken ($16) along with a large size ho fun ($8.50) for pick up and it still held up really well at home. The pick up order was nicely packaged with all bean sprouts, romaine lettuce, and herbs. The chicken is full of flavor, juicy, and the ginger scallion sauce is perfect. I love the thin ho fun noodles, they are fresh and soft and tender. If you're in area or just looking for a good bowl of noodles, definitely come to Wing Wah!

    Banh Cuon

    Chicken Gizzards, Pho Ga and Banh Coun are a must order at this restaurant. I've only been here a handful of times and these dishes were so yummy every visit. I tried the Bun Rieu recent visit and was very satisfied. Banh Coun is probably what everyone raves about and the dish is really good indeed. Takeaway Banh Coun is just as good but should be consumed hot and fresh ASAP. Service at this restaurant is very basic but very nice and generous, especially if you are packing food to go and requesting for extra sauces:) Highly recommended and will be coming back!

    Unassuming Soba Ichi is such a delicious place for a casual meal…read more I have been to soba Ichi twice at this point. This most recent visit I was able to try the duck breast soba. The duck was juicy and tender and I love the broth they make. The flavor is deep yet the meal is light. Each spoonful of broth is like a savory umami bomb. I love it! This is the type of place where you order at the counter and wait for your meal. I appreciate that they ask if you'd like to sit inside and if so, they will make sure there is a table open for you. My only critique of this place is I tend to still be hungry after finishing a bowl. I wish the portions were a little larger.

    Upscale noodle place for soba and assorted Japanese bites. The level of craft here is remarkable…read more The dishes are made from simple ingredients with elegant preparations. We ordered the tofu, cold and hot noodles, tempura, and the weekly special, mochi. The cold noodles were a showcase for the soba noodles themselves -- nutty and earthy in flavor, and toothsome without being gummy. But the broth for the hot noodles was a welcome blend of flavors: sweet, salty, sour, umami at the same time. All while remaining relatively light. It would be easy to sip it all down on its own. (Our nine year old nearly did! We saw other kids there and I suspect they may have done the same.) The tofu came in thick blocks with three separate dressings -- onion, pickled cucumber, and bonito. Each one transformed the creamy bean curd into a different dish. Because the preparations are so simple, the best strategy may be to order a variety of appetizers which cover a range of flavors and textures. Then, hunker down with a couple shared plates of noodles for the entree. This is a place to take it slow and to appreciate the care behind each bite.

I usually come with my family, and we order damn near everything on the menu. The aunties serving dishes actually laugh when they see how much food they're dropping off at the table.

The wontons have just the right amount of heat, the noodles are thicccc and chewy, and every dish somehow manages to disappear before we can even think about leftovers. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything you order. One of my favorite parts is watching them make the noodles by hand.

After I finished my meal, I waited to see if the server would come out to give me the bill, but it didn't happen. I had to go to the front counter and get her attention to get the bill. She was busy in the kitchen eating her lunch, I suppose. Overall, a decent visit. I was happy with my meal. I wasn't in a hurry, so I didn't mind the disappearance of the server. But I wonder how much business they lose when no one is around to serve customers.

I was initially put off by the short menu and few options to add toppings (I didn't see any tendon or tripe for example), and worried it would be too bland or too sweet--but it was not. The broth was deeply flavorful and more savory. Meats were generous and meatballs were exceptional, maybe the best I've had. The basil and sprouts were garden fresh, and unusually, the rice noodles were exceptional, not at all soft or pressed together. I could genuinely taste the love here. It extended to the salad rolls which were generously portioned and used lightly fried tofu which I prefer. One additional note about the broth. It's a richer style than I normally like so I couldn't drink it to the last drop, but I can't fault its great flavor. The service was above average, with a spirited vibe. Loved everything, will be back to try more on the menu.
