  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.

  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.

  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.
