V Pho, a Vietnamese culinary gem, offers an extraordinary dining experience. Its rich, aromatic broth, infused with star anise, cinnamon, and slow-cooked bones, harmonizes perfectly with tender beef, Thai basil, bean sprouts, and lime. The spring rolls are a textbook example of perfection, with whisper-thin rice paper wrapping fresh herbs, vermicelli, and succulent shrimp. The velvety peanut sauce balances sweetness and nuttiness. Beyond the delectable food, the immaculate clean space and attentive service create a peaceful retreat. V Pho stands as an unparalleled destination for authentic Vietnamese dining, leaving a lasting impression on both seasoned pho connoisseurs and newcomers alike.

V Pho Vietnamese is a hidden gem 💎! Recently stayed in DeFuniak Springs at an RV campground for a week. Ended up eating at V Pho twice. A very pleasant surprise find for us. The restaurant has only been open a few months according to our server. The interior is bright and clean in appearance. The serving staff was very helpful, courteous, and prompt on both visits. Started with the crispy egg rolls. They appear handmade with a Mixture of savory pork, vegetables, and noodles in the wrapping. Very tasty! Many combinations of Pho are on the menu. On the first visit I asked if the Pho I was interested in (number P7) was similar to a “rare beef” which is my favorite. She assured me it was. Then had the kitchen put the beef on a separate plate so I could actually put it in myself. I thought that was awesome, kudos to the staff! On the second visit, I got the same thing because it was so delicious but requested double meat this time. This request was happily obliged. If you’re traveling through the area on I-10 it is definitely worth a detour if this is your type of cuisine.

This restaurant really is a hole in a wall. I was a little skeptical when I arrived here because of how sketchy the outside was and how outdated the inside was, but the service was still nice and the food was really good. We got the Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings ($13.00), the Beef Chow Fun ($17.00), and the Roasted Duck Noodle Soup ($13.00). All three dishes were freshly made and had huge portions. Hong Minh isn't a fancy place, but I'd still give it a chance if you haven't tried it before.

This is the Cantonese food I’ve been looking for for awhile! I love their food! It’s the authentic Cantonese cuisine and I recommend their Roasted Duck and Beef Chow Fun! Only $19 for roast duck, and $16 for the beef chow fun, and salted fish and chicken fried rice for $14. Super delicious and tons of food, we have to get few boxes to bring it back home!

Service was welcoming and prompt. But overall cleanness and odor of the facility was not fresh. Mother enjoyed the seafood soup, which was quite a big bowl. Mangolian beef was tasteless. Dumblings were good.

Food was good. Reasonable price and pretty quick!

I stopped by this cute diner to get a coffee to go alongside my pastries items I picked up from a shop nearby. The drink options are limited and don’t expect to be able to customize your coffee. Trust me. You won’t regret getting the ice coffee here. The store owner was right when she said it is VERY good. It tastes similar to a Vietnamese ice coffee but better (milky, sweet, bold coffee aftertaste). The decor/branding could use improvement but with mom/pop shops like these; the expectation is you go in for the good food/drinks and be left alone. I enjoyed the simplicity of the mindset. Place accepts cash and Venmo. I am not sure about cards. Though with small shops like these I tend to give cash because of the service fees shops are charged for cards.

Authentic HK style breakfast for $10! what a deal! Friendly service from the aunties that can't beat the ambience Milk tea is on the weaker side though Cash Only!!!

Probably my favorite spot for a warm bowl of Chinese soup noodle in Oakland. I've been coming to this restaurant forever, perhaps almost 40 years and the foods are always consistently good since my first visit. If you're looking for friendly service and family atmosphere the please give this little germ a try. The restaurant is small so it's not suitable for a large party. Pictured is my favorite bowl: Roasted duck noodle soup. Credit cards accepted.

Our usual place (Joy Luck) was closed! So my Grandpa wanted to go two storefronts down to Gum Wah. It's a big restaurant with lot of seating. Like Joy Luck restaurant, Gum Wah is what Americans would call a hole in the wall (or to me, normal). Before I ordered I saw what others were eating. It all looked so good. It was lunchtime and most people ordered lunch special items. We got chow fun with prawn, rice porridge fish filet, yin yang fried rice, bitter melon lunch special and some typical beef string bean lunch special. The chow fun was amazing. I loved it! It was so flavorful. It's the saucy style chow fun I like too. The rice porridge was tasty. It had plenty of fish and 1 whole egg (1000 yr old). Bitter melon was good for bitter melon. The yin yang fried rice was the dish I ordered, and it wasn't to par. I was kind of sad. The rice seemed old/dry. The tomato sauce did not have much taste. I think I was unlucky! I give this place 5 stars because I would get the chow fun again. Another customer had the black bean chow fun... I wanted it... Would definitely go back!

Our friend's favorite for porridge. We also ordered crispy chow mein and stir-fried veggies. Tasty and generous portions.

I ordered takeout from New Gold Medal Restaurant and had the Hot & Sour Soup, Baked Pork Chops, and half of a roasted duck. Everything was really tasty. I was surprised by the generous amount of ingredients in the hot and sour soup! The pork chops smelled amazing and tasted even better. The roasted duck was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. They also have a lot of selections on their menu.

They have a good lunch deal for 2 entree items for $7 and a bunch of fruit outside but the prices are not great compared to nearby options

Always good in a pinch. Fried chicken legs & ribs are a standout. Go between 11am and 2pm for best results.

Best crispy roast pork I've had in Oakland Chinatown. Their poached quails are good too, you won't find them in many other restaurants. Staff are friendly.

I ordered a medium whole roast pork for my mom's 80th in 2022 and it was so delicious. The service was efficient and the taste is solid.

This place was amazing! I loved the pork belly and it was a sizzling spicy!! The fried shrimp rice was tasty…but everything was!! We ate and still we were stuffed. Food is authentic and service was promoted, quiet, and nice. Found this place in google reviews and I was so happy to try it but even happier after we all loved it.

If you know the saying “yeet hay,” then you would love this place. If you don't, then do your research because yeet hay is good food once in a while. If you are sensitive to spices then I recommend you go down a notch then your usual. I typically can handle spice but order a medium. I should have gone down a notch here. Very yummy food paired with rice. Rice was a little bit overcooked but I would come back.

Food is good. Stopped here before the beach. Singapore noodle turned out delicious. But the place is badly maintained, and you have to fight off some flies

Hole in the wall, said it will either be great or terrible. Everyone that came/ ordered was pleased with their meal. Plenty of food. They had each item separated; ie the rice, sauce and meat

I work nearby and ordered some take out and they made it so fast. Incredible considering how extensive the menu is! The seafood pan fried noodles was delicious and super fresh!

Authentic Cantonese food, great value and most of all great service. We had clay pot rice and they make their own preserved meats. The restaurant looks clean for Chinatown so it’s worth a try.

Was frantically looking for a spot to eat a very late lunch and settles for this place. I kept flip flopping between the burger and mussels and when I told the waitress I wasn't ready, she didn't come back until 20-25 minutes later. Apparently she "forgot" due to some jet lag she was experiencing. Anywayyyyys...she offered to comp my glass of Pinot noir which totally appeased me. I sat outside and munched on bottomless French bread and soft butter. The heat lamps were on so I wasn't freezing at all on this winter cold day. I decided to have the mussels with garlic and lemon. It was amazing! I kept asking for bread to soak up the broth. Cute neighborhood with ample parking (at least during the time I went which was around 1:45/2...). If I do come back, I'll get the burger! With Brie....I would have given 4 stars, but she took a while and I had to wave to her while she was inside and I was out front outside. She then sent the bartender over to take my order. And another thing, she had forgotten to get me water - I had to ask twice. She was friendly and did explain herself but I felt, by that point, it was kind of too far into the experience to assign 4 stars. Hope this explains to that other Yelper who couldn't seem to understand where the 3 stars came from.

food was great an service was good great surounding talk to a lot people an ate a lot of foodi would go back again it was fun an exiting
