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.

Really the best Vietnamese food we have had outside of Hanoi. Very friendly service as well. Try the Bun Cha, closest thing to Hanoi. The Pho Ga was very delicious with a flavorful broth and chicken cooked perfectly!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs

I ordered the spicy beef noodle. It was alright, mostly noodle and soup and a small piece of beef. It was 20$ plus tax for a big bowl and didn’t feel like it got much out of it.

Somewhat higher prices especially for chinatown, but the quality is there. Authentic flavors, with a slight variation here and there (some things less vinegar, some more sugar). Garnishes at the side of the table are great.

Probably the best pho I’ve had in the bay. They use fresh noodles, and their broth is so rich. The meat is also very tender and “meaty”. I would make the drive out to Oakland just to eat here.

We came for lunch and found the food to taste amazing! The pho broth was rich and flavorful and the appetizer (Bot Chien) was SO GOOD. Lemongrass chicken plate was tender, fresh and aromatic. Thank you!
