Mắm Hanoi Restaurant

"Finally I found a good authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Northern Bay area ( except San Jose). The food is so authentic and is not influenced by Chinese-Vietnamese style like other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. The restaurant was nice and clean. The only thing needs to be improved is the service. It was not busy on Wednesday night, but the server stayed at the counter most of the time and didn’t fill up our water unless we asked or tried to get his attention."

"Hidden gem. Should be packed with customers, but undiscovered. Parking is easier on this street than closer to Webster. We felt safe at the location. Chicken and pork dishes rice were fresh and excellent. I want to try the rest of the menu. Highly recommended."

"First time here but really enjoyed this place! Restaurant was clean, the server was attentive and we got our food pretty quickly. Everything tasted fresh and my pho hit the spot. My boyfriend’s bun rieu was pretty good too. The spring rolls were great as well and the flavors were on point. Great meal overall and I would definitely come back for more when it’s colder in Oakland to try other dishes they have on the menu."

"Been coming to this place regularly for pho and spring rolls. Solid every time, very fresh ingredients, good broth. Took my parents here today for their very first meal in Oakland as they visit me, directly after picking them up from the airport. They loved it. A good first impression of Oakland food. (Minor points off on atmosphere. Very clean, but rather spartan decorations. I prefer something a bit more ornate and cozy.) If you want good pho in downtown Oakland, this is the place."
