Everything about Rayman's is magical. It has taken me so long to try this place out because I have never met a Pho that's knocked me off my feet. Rayman's knocked me all the way off my feet and had me in a full chokehold. My son wasn't feeling well so we stopped for an emergency pick me up. Like everyone says, the service is wonderful: kind and attentive. The menu items are not infinite, which I really appreciate because I have debilitating indecisive disorder. I ordered the chicken banh mi and the chicken Pho and it smelled insane so understandably when I got home I ripped into both and they were absolutely mind blowing. I have never had more flavorful broth: perfectly balanced, rich, and robust chicken flavor, balanced by warming spices and really beautiful and fresh veggies. I loved the addition of fried shallots which I have not seen before in Pho, but absolutely added another layer of deliciousness. The chicken was also another level of insanity. Super tender and incredibly flavorful, it was really a treat. This review would be five stars, even if it wasn't incredibly reasonably priced, but it was so reasonable especially considering how large the portions were. I will not make the same mistake of passing this place up affordable and absolutely delicious takeout spot. read more

Great and friendly service, tasty and filling Bahn Mi sandwiches. Just tried the egg rolls and I'm in love! I buy at least once a week!! Tip: if you use cash you save 5% on your bill. read more

Sadly I did not experience what the 4.9 stars it has. The pho had no flavor, I ordered the shrimp pho, the shrimp was over cooked, the chicken egg rolls were served cold, it had so much oil that it was dripping. Not what I expected. read more

A very simple space yields big flavor! I wasn't sure what to expect at this little place, but I ordered my usual "bun" aka vermicelli noodle bowl, and I was totally surprised at how rich the flavors were and with delectable cuts of pork meat (not dried out) and with ample salad like mix-ins. Yup, I am sold! read more

So delicious and fresh. This was my first time trying this place. I ordered online through Yelp, and it was ready for pick up not long there after. You can tell the ingredients are fresh. I got the shrimp banh mi. The shrimp was clean. Prepared PERFECTLY. Incredibly flavorful. Loved the varying textures and the ratio of shrimp, to bun, to veggie. I also ordered a side of chicken pho broth +$4.00. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. This may be the best chicken broth I've ever had. I like that the prices are competitive as well. Thank you, Rayman's! read more

This place is well worth the hype. The food is absolutely insane and the portions are massive. I started with their homemade limeade and it was the perfect amount of fresh and sweet. I got the chicken Bahn Mi. The sandwich was massive and incredible. I also got the grilled chicken soup. The broth was so flavorful. The waitress was super nice and another worker was really accommodating with us bringing our dog! Definitely will be back. read more

Rayman's Nudough - Beef Ball Noodle Soup (PHO BV) & Fresh Squeezed Limeade (Nuoc Chanh) - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

I have to admit that I live right down the street from this place and I have never tried it until now. I don't know what I was waiting for! I was exhausted last night and had it delivered. The grilled shrimp spring rolls were fresh and delicious! I had the beef lemongrass pho, which was honestly some of the best pho I've ever had! Generous portions so I have leftovers! I am thrilled that we now have a really good Vietnamese restaurant in our neighborhood and will definitely be visiting in person very soon ! read more

Excellent spot for chicken pho and banh mi in the Oakland area; the bread itself is probably the weakest component however- somewhat dense, not much crunch. You cannot go wrong with the grilled shrimp & pork rice plate; get it with an egg roll, jalapeños, and some broth. read more

I'm kind of picky about my pho and vermicelli and this place is my new fave because their grilled meats/fish really are grilled, not sautéed or something. I've now tried the pho, vermicelli, and bahn mi. All are great but especially the pho or vermicelli w grilled fish or pork. Love having that option. Delicious flavor and the broth is also excellent which is critical. And the staff is consistently welcoming and friendly. My only wish is that they had a few more tables to sit at. read more

The homemade noodles had the perfect chewy bite and soaked up the rich beef broth beautifully. I highly recommend ordering a side of their crispy pan fried dumplings. read more

This spot is a hidden gem 10/10; a must try for anyone craving an authentic vietnamese banh mi and pho! The banh mi was very flavourful from their pate to meats to the bread (you can taste/tell the bread is quality compared to other banh mis around). the service was very friendly and they even had a jar of dog treats at the front which I thought was a cute touch :) Originally stopped by to study and for vietnamese coffee but I would come back again and again for the food as well. Definitely worth a visit read more

Rayman's Nudough - Grilled Pork Sandwich (Banh Mi Heo) - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakland, California

Excellent food and service. I've had the lemon grass beef noodle soup and the chicken and shrimp vermicelli bowl. Both were delicious and filling. Most of their business seems to be takeout since the dining area is small. I've done both and the service was fast. Well worth a visit. read more

Cute little place in Fruitvale. We had a hankering for Banh Mi--ordered the grilled pork and it came filled with fresh cucumber, pickled radish, and jalapeno--it was delicious! Will definitely return!!! read more

The food was good but they have flies in the restaurant and they do not care to remove them

The fried egg rolls were fantastic, as were the spring rolls with shrimp. Enjoyed the vermicelli bowl with shrimp and pork. The beef with rice bowl was also good. We picked up to take home and it was all easy, as was ordering online. Definitely will go back for sandwiches! read more

Soooo yummy ! Vegetables tasted fresh and reasonably priced. My Bf is kinda picky and he loved his rice bowl with pork and shrimp enough for 2 meals. I loved my veggie pho broth was HOT and flavorful, tofu spring rolls DELICIOUS!! thank you!! read more

Delicious and fresh banh mi sandwiches at a reasonable price. The lemongrass beef was outstanding!

I had a taste for some pho, and tried this place out. It was decent but not sure I'd go back.

Rayman's Nudough opens where Tu Tai 3 was. Take out only. No dining area. Order taken promptly. Food made to order. Seating available while waiting. TV at left for viewing. Offerings: appetizers, banh mi, noodle soup (pho), grilled noodle soups, rice bowls, vermicelli bowls, drinks Eats: lemongrass beef banh mi (8.95) -relatively large baquette filled with generous portion of tender, juicy lemongrass beef with carrots, jalepenos, cilantro, cucumbers... -very fulfilling. Was able to quickly eat it next door before it cooled. 4.5 stars unexpectedly deliz & worthy. Unsure how well the other entrees would have traveled so not 5 stars. read more

Dude! Clean broth. Friendly service. Fresh spring rolls. Check. Check. Check. Plus they let us finish our meal even though they were closing shop. How nice is that?! It's a great neighborhood noodle shop. Full stop. read more

Food - 5 Service - 5 Value - 4 This place was a great find in Oakland. Food was fresh and tasty and portions were good for the price we paid. I enjoyed the grilled shrimp and grilled pork. Egg rolls were also crispy and fresh as well. It did take a little longer to make our food than what we thought it should (15-20 minutes) but it's welcome trade-off. Better to order ahead if you can though since seating is limited and there were not any restrooms. read more

Decided to go here for lunch because it was near my work. Banh mi was wha I ordered and they stuffed it full with meat and veggies. It was very delicious. I will be retuning back here. read more

Frist things first - reasonable prices! Not sure how it became acceptable for banh mi sandwiches to cost more than $10 - but they do NOT this place! Food - Lemon Grass Banh Mi Sandwich - tons of ingredients BUT VERY DRY - had to create our own mayo/sriracha sauce - Shrimp spring rolls - 100% a must order item! They give you more than enough shrimps in the roll and its tons of flavor - Pho broth - a broth makes or breaks pho and this one was very delicious and a great paring with the banh mi Bottom line I would go back again for a second try and fingers crossed the sandwich isnt dry. read more

Wanted to try a new place. Read the reviews on the Banh Mi and decided to try it. I got the grilled pork Banh Mi with soup on the side. I also tried the shrimp spring rolls. The Banh Mi was a super dry, when I looked in the sand which there was no Mayo spread at all, so I had to make sriracha Mayo at home and add it in. The flavors from the pork were delicious as well as plenty of veggies you come to love in a Banh mi. The soup on the side goes really well with the Banh me The spring rolls were also really delicious. Other than the sandwich being really dry, I would come back and try other men read more

We recently ordered Banh Mi and spring rolls for a catered event, and it was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the team's attention to detail was impeccable. The service was friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond--offering jalapenos on the side, cutting the Banh Mi and spring rolls in half for easy sharing, and even returning with extra hot sauce. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We couldn't recommend them more! Every thoughtful touch made the experience a delight. Thank you! Rayman's Nudough has now been added to our rotating list of caterers who are dependable and able to accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions. read more

This place is a great addition to Diamond. The vermicelli noodle bowl here is a standout. Add the egg rolls for that extra pop of yum!

Delivery was delicious! Not my fav but definitely 7/10 for a fast close option! Smaller than expected portion but not a huge issue. read more

Consistently delicious and great for takeout. I bring home dinner from here regularly and the fam loves it. Excellent vermicelli bowls, fantastic bahn mi. Rayman's has never let me down! And they're lovely people too. Show this neighborhood treasure some love, you won't be disappointed. read more

This place was formally Tu Tai 3 and the owners, a father and two sons reinvented this place into Rayman's Nudough and it is take out only but the portions are humongous! Hubby ordered the grilled fish spring rolls, lemongrass beef over rice, shrimp vermicelli, grilled fish noodle soup, grilled pork noodle soup for two days of no cooking! The grilled fish is swai and it was tasty and portions were huge! I had the shrimp vermicelli and the portion was humongous, with large tasty shrimp. The grilled pork noodle soup had delicious pork for days in it. Now we have a neighborhood to go place for Vietnamese comfort food! read more

This place is so underrated and needs more recognition! They are known for their grilled meat items and I understand why. I ordered their grilled beef and shrimp pho with the grilled meats on the side and it was so good. The meats were so flavorful and seasoned perfectly. I tried all their grilled meats and I'm definitely a big fan of the beef, shrimp, and fish. I've never tried or even seen grilled fish spring rolls at a Vietnamese restaurant so I had to order it, and I did not regret it. It's definitely better than shrimp spring rolls from other restaurants. The grilled fish has flavor so the herbs and the neutral flavored ingredients in the spring roll balances it out perfectly. Although this place is to-go only for now, I think it's fine because parking is so hard to find so it's easy to just double parking and go in to quickly grab your order. There's also a parking lot on the right across the street at cvs/farmer joes if you need to park for a long period of time. read more

Hands down the best banh mi in the Bay Area. The freshest ingredients make a huge difference. And the banh mi are stuffed full with pickled carrots, peppers and cilantro. Can't wait to try everything on the menu. My partner, a very tough food customer, brought Rayman's to my attention when he reported to me having the freshest shrimp spring rolls he has ever had. This is an amazing restaurant! read more

First time trying out this restaurant. I ordered delivery via GrubHub. 5 stars for quick food prep and delivery. 5 stars for food quantity/size. 3.5 stars for flavor and texture of the food: the eggrolls were crispy in the outside, but the ingredients inside had a very mushy/dense texture and the flavor was bland, so I'd give the eggrolls a 2... the pho broth was good (but I need to reorder when I'm not congested and can actually see if all of the important ingredients/spices are in the broth) and the bean sprouts/etc. and beef slices were packaged so nicely (and there was a decent amount if beef), so the pho gets a 3.5 (but I'll update this score after a couple more orders)... the banh mi's veggies needed more pickling and tanginess to contrast the umami from the pork (the pork was excellent, btw)... the sandwich was dry (probably because there was no pate or soy sauce on the bread, which was maybe a day old (so I poured some of the eggroll dipping sauce on it to make up for the dryness and lack of fresh tangy flavor), so the banh mi gets a 3. I like that you can get a side of broth with the sandwich. I'll definitely try this place again. read more
