Binh Minh Quan — Restaurant in Oakland

Binh Minh Quan is an above average Vietnamese restaurant that is very clean with modern decor. One can tell it didn't want to be another "ghetto" pho spot with cheap decor. A lot of thought went into the restaurant when they took over from the previous restaurant which was also Vietnamese.

Ribs: The tender ribs were a highlight. They added a rich flavor to the dish, complementing the other...

com tam (broken rice plate) - 10/10 it’s soooo rare to find com tam in east bay or oakland you basically just have to go to san jose. the broken rice makes such a huge difference in rice plates standard, delicious. some of the sides i’ve had with it: fried egg, pork chop, chicken, egg roll, shrimp cake comes with pickled vegetables and a side of broth. the broth is really good and comforting
