Accidentally discovered this hidden gem and it was soooo goood! There are free appetizers (pickled fruits) and it was sweet and sour and spicy and flavorful the same time. The pork knuckle was so tender and juicy and the chicken knuckle was fried to a perfection.
The Lao You noodle soup was their signature. Very flavorful. Owner said they cooked each bowl separately for best taste. I can tell it was rly authentic. During happy hour there’s also a free drink provided.
I’ll def come back to try more items!

Great place to go get takeout to bring back to Oakland museum of California and have in the lawn. I opted to do this instead of ordering the museums’s cafe food and it was a great decision! Delicious! Friendly staff also, no communication problems at all.

I had their Ultimate Spicy Beef Rice Noodle Soup—it’s packed with round noodles, tender beef, egg, spicy bamboo shoots, fermented soybean, chili, tomato, green veggies, and snail soup. It’s really spicy, flavorful, and satisfying. The noodles have a perfect chew, the beef is tender, and the fresh tomato adds a nice touch. The broth is tasty too, making the whole meal enjoyable. This time, they also offer a side dish tray with extra spicy bamboo shoots, fermented soybean, and more, so you can add even more flavor to your soup!

I had their Ultimate Spicy Beef Rice Noodle Soup, and it was loaded with round noodles, beef, egg, spicy sour bamboo shoots, fermented soybean, chili, tomato, green veggies, and snail soup. It’s delightfully spicy, full of flavor, and really satisfying. The round noodles have the perfect chewiness, the beef is tender, and the fresh tomato adds even more deliciousness. The broth is equally flavorful, making the whole experience well-rounded and enjoyable. This time, they also provide a side dishes tray with spicy sour bamboo shoots, fermented soybean, and more, so you can customize your noodle soup for an extra burst of flavor!

My visit to Fen Classic Guilin Rice Noodles once again! This time, I tried the Ultimate Spicy Beef Rice Noodle Soup. The beef was tender, and the soup base was incredibly flavorful. I requested extra spiciness, and it was so good that it made me break a little sweat! I even had some soup leftover to take home, where I added noodles, eggs, and some protein to enjoy later.

This was my first time trying their Ultimate Spicy Beef Tripe Rice Noodle Soup, and I opted for a take-out order with regular-sized round noodles, extra spiciness, and a side dish of crispy pork.
The highlight of the dish was undoubtedly the flavorful broth. The level of spiciness was perfect for my taste buds, leaving me with a running nose, which complemented the tasty noodles and other ingredients. The crispy pork side dish was a great addition, but I wish it had been a bit crispier. Additionally, a larger portion would have been appreciated.
Despite this, the overall experience was fantastic, with efficient take-out service.

Fen Classic in Oakland is a culinary gem, offering the delightful Five Blessings Guilin Rice Noodle. Packed with beef brisket, BBQ pork, braised beef, beef tripe, and golden crispy pork, this dish is accompanied by a small bowl of plain soup, resulting in an unforgettable flavor experience.
While the prices at Fen Classic may be slightly higher, the outstanding taste and quality of their Guilin Rice Noodles justify the cost. The combination of rich and savory meats in the Five Blessings variation is a true feast for the senses, making it an ideal choice for those with a strong craving for Guilin rice noodle.
It’s important to plan your visit to Fen Classic accordingly, as they are closed on Mondays. However, when they are open, you can expect a truly delightful dining experience that will leave a lasting impression.

The Food
I am not sure how noodles differ in different regions of China. But when I walked by Classic Guilin Rice Noodles, it seemed like an interesting place to try. My friend and I ordered their Beef Brisket and Crispy Pork Guilin Rice Noodle (牛腩，脆皮桂林米粉) along with Special Small Bowl Rice Noodle (合味特色一口粉). The Special Small Bowl Rice Noodle came with a sampler of different noodles. These “Bite Rice Noodle” give a chance to try different noodle dishes. I enjoy both the Beef Brisket and Crispy Pork as well as Special Small Bowl noodles. I like these styles of noodles, and the flavors, though similar, are pretty good. They of course have a variety of other dishes besides noodles, so will need to return and try them.
The Miscellaneous
The restaurant itself is decent sized with a good amount of seating. The interior is clean with interesting decor, giving the typical Chinese restaurant vibe. The service and staff were nice and sincere. They took our order when ready, and the wait time for the food was pretty quick. Their menu has other selections besides noodles such as stew, hot pot and rice plate. The prices are not unreasonable so it is worth a try if you are in the area.

I had the dry Guilin rice noodle with beef brisket and it was really tasty and refreshing. You can also upsize for $1 and take the remaining home. Great quality rice noodles and staff were friendly and spoke great English. They take credit card as well. Definitely a cool small local spot to try out!!

I’ve searched for authentic Guilin noodles in other places but this is by far the most authentic dish I’ve had. The picked green beans, bamboo, and crispy pork taste just like in Guilin. I’d come back for more!

Hmmm…Not sure if i’m more disappointed about the let down of this place that I had chosen or because I made my husband have his first terrible meal for the past 3 months. The answer will haunt me for life!!! First things first, this place didn’t have the best rating, BUT, as a good person I thought to myself – what’s the point of trying only highly rated places? What about the other guys who are trying to get out there and make their restaurants known? Yea, that theory just died today! Not only this place didn’t have the highest ratings but also didn’t have a big amount of reviews – yea, I know, I should have known better. I learned my lesson though.
The ambience was too modern for my Asian taste. The service was quick and friendly. They served complimentary tea which we both took one sip and didn’t touch it (yuck). Surprisingly there were only locals eating here which made me feel – hey this place doesn’t look like it will deliver but everything else says it will so let’s keep our fingers crossed. That ship sailed and drowned immediately as our food arrived – hubby ordered nr 4 the beef and crunchy pork noodles with the broth on the side and I ordered nr 21 the spicy beef noodle soup. The flavors in nr 4 were pretty good, the noodles weren’t bad but the meat quality was the worst we have had in a very long time. My dish was pretty bland and on the contrary to nr 4, nr.21 didn’t even have flavor, the noodles were pretty sad and the meat was blah. Sadly, won’t return to this place. It was a good budget meal but it just wasn’t tasty.

This place was decent. It had good flavor, wasn’t too heavy or light. I had a beef noodle bowl and it wasn’t anything that would put me in a food coma for the rest of my afternoon. It was reasonably priced for the volume. The next time I come, I’ll try a rice dish. The service was a tad slow considering it wasn’t too packed. My bowl came out about 5 minutes before my mom’s and the lunch rush hadn’t started yet.
