Oakland Hidden Gem…read more We are all about the AYCE Hotpot and this place does not disappoint. There are many restaurants for hotpot around the bay and we've been to most. This place stands out for the pricing and service. The interior of the place is nice and modern. The staffing is always around for rounds 2,3,4 and on when we needed anything. The option of soup base is great and the quality of meat is perfect. This place is not skimpy on the portion and it comes out fast. The sauce bar is my favorite, where else do you get XO sauce as an option? Did I mentioned free Boba Milk Tea? Yes, unlimited and included in the price. Lunch goes til 4p at just $25.99 and $29.99 for premium which then comes with more meat options and dim sum. Other places will end lunch hours at 2pm. Here, I can pick up my teenage kids from school and still make it here for lunch pricing. There is literally nothing I can knock on this place aside from street parking only. This place is a must eat if AYCE hotpot is your thing.

Been here more than a couple of times. This review is about my mosr recent visit…read more The food was ok, the service was terrible. Apparently, that is a consistant thing at this restaurant. Our wait person was a straight up jerk to us. It's not that we were neglected, it's that the wait person was very rude. I got there before my friend, and said to the wait person I would wait until my friend arrived before being seated. Wait person said ok. My friend arrives, and wait person asks if we are together for the hotpot. He seats us and gives us two menus. We fill them out (you mark with a marker) and hand them back. Wait person berates us for not using only one menu. Hold up, how did we get two menus? What made him give us two dry erase markers? The wait person gave them to us knowing we both are there to eat together for the hotpot. How is that our fault that he gave us two menus? We almost left because he went beyond scolding us and straight up was passionately angry at both of us for having two menus. The same two menus he handed to us. The food comes out quite slow. We got only two rounds in. We came in hours before closing. Apparently, the wait person was holding it against us for using both menus he gave us. My stomach also didn't handle the food well. I didn't get full on food poisoning, but I had stomach rumbles and couldn't sleep well as a result. This was my fourth or fifth, and last time eating here. I was here before for the happy hour to enjoy the chicken skewers, and even then the meat was very dry. The inside was moderately clean . Ok lighting. The server was so rude, I would never come back here.

Lots of parking, very small restaurant, not suitable for large parties. Both pho and BBH were good! BBH comes heavy with lemongrass and spices. No pork blood. So if you're looking for pork blood Rang Dong doesn't come with it. But the flavors and aromas are definitely there. Pho was decent too. My wife ordered pho tai but they gave her pho special with everything instead. So we asked them about it and they gave us extra tai meat on the side. Wife couldn't finish her pho so she asked for it to go. And they packed it and even saran-ed wrap the container. Will definitely return!

Let's begin this food review…read more Rang Dong Restaurant is a casual, family-owned Vietnamese eatery located at 660 Central Avenue in Alameda, California Menu & Atmosphere: Food is Traditional Vietnamese comfort foods, including pho, vermicelli bowls, rice plates, banh mi, and crispy banh xeo (Vietnamese pancakes). I had the Vermicelli Grilled Chicken x Shrimps served on a stick. It's incredibly delicious and fresh. It's better than other similar food in LA . Vibe: A small, cozy space featuring an open kitchen and warm, mom-and-pop service.Price: Wallet-friendly, budget-oriented pricing. Staff: They're attentive and professional. Parking: It's not a problem. Plenty of space. Overall, I had a wonderful lunch. I highly recommend them.

There's a BofA ATM about 2.5 blocks away. The decor and ambiance are just as I remembered it, which is to say, it's just like every other Chinese restaurant in the area. Not particular pristine, but not so dirty to be a turn off. We had a few of my favorite Sichuan dishes: - 夫妻肺片 - cold appetizer of sliced beef and tripe in a spicy sauce; such an amazing flavor and perfectly balanced between salty, sweet, and numbing. A great way to kick off a meal here. - 重庆辣子鸡 - Chongqing-style spicy fried chicken; it came bone in, which is very important to keeping the chicken juicy and flavorful and the chicken are drowning in tons of dried red chilis. Don't worry, it's not super spicy as long as you don't eat the chilis. You just get a beautiful fragrance of the chilis and it's mostly a touch of sugar and the numbing Sichuan peppercorns. One of the best "la zi ji" in the Bay Area IMO. - 麻婆豆腐 - classic Sichuan tofu dish with broad bean paste and numbing spice. So perfect to spoon over rice. Overall, the food came out quickly and it was reasonably priced. Every dish was great and each exercised perfect balance between the competing flavors. Don't let the outside (or inside) dissuade you from trying it out. It really is about as authentic as you can get in the area for Sichuan food. I can't comment on the non-Sichuan dishes. Go for the Sichuan and thank me later.
