We ordered the banh hoi with lemon grass tofu and mushrooms and salmon claypot. The banh hoi was tasty and fun to eat with the lettuce and herbs. The salmon claypot was full of flavors and so good with steamed rice. The portions were small, which was perfect for us but a little on the pricy side. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back and try other dishes on their menu.

Overview: my new favorite place for banh mi that's close to home, large portions and great flavor…read more ---- We were taking a walk around Webster and found this place next to an ice cream place that I like. Lemongrass Pork $12 - we added a fried egg $2 extra so the sandwich ended up to be $14 - it has all the typical accompaniments like mayo, daikon, carrots, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro - this sandwich also came with pate (liver spread) which is one of my favorite additions - the portions are filling - the egg was a good add on but I probably wouldn't do it again, it only can with one fried egg in the middle which was delicious but it's expensive and there was only one so when we got to the ends of the sandwich there was no more egg ---- Notes: - street parking (metered) and residential parking is close by but you might have to walk a few blocks on busy days - we walked from the Saturday Farmers' Market but I love how walkable Alameda is, the walk was quite nice - inside and outside seating available, the inside is very small with only 2 tables, the ambiance isn't super appealing to dine-in - we ordered it to-go but there you can definitely dine-in to eat, most people also ordered to-go and for pick-up - the food took a little bit of time to come out bc they were so popular! Lots of to-go and online orders being picked up when we were waiting! ---- Overall: authentic banh mi without having to leave our little island, filling portion, great flavor

Nice little banh mi and bowl shop that appears to be part of a chain (although this is my first…read moreencounter with them). Came for lunch with my husband while visiting the Pacific Pinball Museum nearby, and this is just a short walk away. Both my husband and I got the vegan protein banh mi that appeared to be a new item on their menu based on the signage, I think it was a lemongrass "beef" one, but they apparently also have a mushroom and tofu banh mi which I will have to try next time we're in the area. Sandwiches were pretty good! Veggies were fresh and the vegan protein was flavorful, and the bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle like it should be. The location seems well-kept and clean, and the staff at the register were friendly. There's very limited seating inside the cafe and only a couple of tables outside, so it seems more popular for takeout (and indeed several folks came by to order takeout while we were eating there). Given my husband's current interest in pinball, I suspect we'll visit the museum again and when we do, I expect I would like to come back here for lunch again!

We also ordered the Pad Thai, again, another delicious dish. I'm already planning my next visit.

I liked that there are diff options for what you wrap them with (cilantro or mint with the lettuce leaves). Not pictured, but the pad see ew was some of the best I've had. The crab khao pad was packed with crab (although there were a few shell bits inside) and wonderful flavors. The tom yum soup was just the right balance of seasonings, and had a lot of "toppings" inside. Service was decent! The servers are pretty attentive and the wait for food isn't too long. The decor inside is dark wood tables with benches and chairs, with nice looking lamps hanging in the middle of the room. Honestly, can't wait to come back!

Hangryyy knows no bounds. 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.

The restaurant is pretty small, with about 9-10 tables total. For a party of 3 on a Sunday night, there was no wait. FOOD: My party ordered Pho Tai, Pork Spring Rolls, a vermicelli Pork dish, and another pho dish. It tasted like any other authentic Vietnamese restaurant and the portions were good. SERVICE: The staff are very nice (seems to be family owned) and accommodating. They even packed up our food to go for us. Overall, nice spot to check out if you're craving Vietnamese food.

Loved the peanuts on the side so I can control how much I want in my dish - fried squid, great starter, piping hot and not over cooked, still very tender and gf! Great service - checked in with us appropriately. I see why it was filled with patrons before noon on a Saturday! Sat at the communal tables in the middle and quite comfortable! They have alfresco seating in the front and the interior of the restaurant seems to have AC - a must in the warmer months. Glad to see them continuing to thrive!!! On my shortlist for sure.

It was warm and more on the chewy side. Vegetarian banh mi: It's fairly small but would be a good option if you wanted a smaller sandwich, at the time it was $7.75 before tax. Banh mi had spicy jalapeno seeds, beware of that if you can't handle spicy. I did like the crunchy fried tofu bits though. Overall it felt like it needed stronger seasoning, it was rather plain aside from the spiciness. They had cute pastel and white flower decor inside.

Pretty underwhelming but, it had a nice seafood forward broth and it was very hot with tiny pieces of shrimp and lots of cabbage. I'd get it again. Then we got the chicken salad. Delicious. Shrimp chips were fun and the dressing had a great balance of sweet, and vinegary flavor with lots of chicken and fresh veg. Pork bahn mi was just okay. I've definitely had better. Bread was good. Meat was pretty sparse and the pickled veg could have had more flavor. Probably would order the pho next time. Everyone seemed to have that on their tables. And the sizzling beef looked great. Service was quick and courteous. I'll be back to try more

Got the pho #1, egg rolls, and chicken wings. Pho #1 {5/5}: Great service size, piping hot, and had a great variety of protein/toppings. The flavor was great, just a tiny bit too salty.

So frustrated right now.

Even though they were in there, the lady open the door and told me that wouldn't let me in because they weren't open until five. So I stood there waiting while she appeared to watch the television. Finally, she opens the door - still not actually letting me in. I explained again that I wanted to check out the room in anticipation of our guests arriving and she said oh sorry I have to cancel that. Our Wi-Fi isn't working. She was rude, unprofessional and not helpful. Her name was Tammy and she is the shift lead. I cannot recommend that anyone give this place your business. Thank God for subpar saving the day!

There was 1 waitress taking orders and bringing food. Kudos to her for providing service to everyone. I ordered the veggie pho, which isn't my usual at similar restaurats. The bowl was definitely filled with veggies, but something in the broth left me very thirsty afterwards and eventually sluggish. Could the culprit be MSG?! Lots of parking in this plaza. Prices are competitive for the area. I'm open to trying them again, but probably not get the same entree.
