    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.
