About
Tay Ho Oakland Restaurant & Bar is a family-run Vietnamese spot where the head chef is the owner's mother. The menu focuses on northern street food, with hard-to-find dishes like fresh hand-rolled steamed rice noodle rolls (Bánh Cuốn), available only at lunch and often selling out. Diners are a mix of gay and straight locals who appreciate the authentic flavors and welcoming vibe.
The bar serves craft cocktails that incorporate herbs and citrus from the kitchen, making it a solid choice for a happy hour drink. Food is served through split hours, with a break between lunch and dinner service. Reservations are accepted; call ahead to secure a plate of Bánh Cuốn. If you're still hungry, you could walk over to Souley Vegan for plant-based soul food later.
