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.

This place is legit. No kidding. This restaurant inspired me to actually go to Vietnam to experience it for myself. Yes I got the Bun Cha in the Tay Ho neighbourhood right by Ho Tay. The food here is fantastic. Just like what it was there. Perhaps it might take you to Hanoi too!

Will definately come back for some more of that viet soul food!
We were 2 adults + 2 children and had pho, banh khot (must-try!), mango salad, banh uot and viet iced coffee.
Everything was fresh, colourful and tasty The vibe was friendly and laid back. We had a super nice conversation with one of the regulars and the chef even came out to say hello!
Keep up the good work – can’t wait to come back again!

The food is okay, prices are expensive for what it is. We did not like the banh cuon here, the rolls are too thick and the pork inside are dry. Everything on the vermicelli bowl was decent but stale/not fresh or hot.

Went here yesterday with my wife and we were both blown away. She had the draft pilsner, I had a diet Coke (served in the can with a glass of ice), and we shared the Gỏi Gà Xé Phay (Classic Mary’s Free-range Chicken Salad) and the Bourdain Vermicelli Bowl – Bún Đặc Biệt.
The portions were very generous; we had to take some to go. The flavors were incredible. The grilled lemongrass pork especially stopped me in my tracks; it’s one of those bites where you pause just to let your brain catch up with how delicious it is.
Parking was what you’d expect for the area; we found a metered spot on the other side of the block and walked over.
Service was smooth, food came out quickly, and the whole experience left us wanting more. We’ll definitely be back.

The pho is is REALLY GOOD though perhaps not what they shine for IMO. Tay Ho offers appetizers and house specials off the beaten path of westernized viet cuisine that are absolutely incredible. Try the tapioca dumplings!! The staff are passionate about their food, friendly, and inclusive. It’s pricey, but not above average for an upscale Vietnamese restaurant. Highly recommend!

Food is delicious and is quick. I’ve been several times but hands down my favorite is the garlic noodles with short ribs. My other go to is the Drunken Beef. My lunch companion orders the noodle bowl which looked really good so I’ll try that next time.

The food here is amazing!! The cocktails are great too. We got a bunch of appetizers and felt full – will have to try entrees next time. The staff and environment is very friendly.

Hands down this is my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I have Vietnamese in-laws and have been to Vietnam so I’ve had all home cooked and authentic foods. Tay Ho delivers extremely tasty traditional Vietnamese cuisine that is slightly elevated with upscale quality and service. They have a lot of gluten free options too which is great for me. Love that they have Bánh Khọt and Bánh Cuốn which can be difficult to find in restaurants but are some of my favorite Vietnamese dishes. Their vermicelli bowl is also fire.
