Wing Wah Pho Ga Restaurant — Restaurant in Oakland

Not bad but not great: I went to Wing Wah because I wanted to get banh cuon (rice rolls) and meatball pho, and this is one of the few pho places that has banh cuon. The banh cuon was good, but the pho was disappointing (at least it is when taken to go). The noodle was not cooked right (in my opinion, it should be pretty elastic and only just done so that it continues cooking in the broth). They did separate the soup and noodles, but the soup was not hot enough. I only waited 10 minutes for my food and then the 10 minute drive home should not have cooled the soup too much. There was also no basil included with my pho veggies, which I found unusual. What was included was lettuce, which didn't work well. (Maybe it works better with pho ga, which I don't usually get. Pho ga does seem to be their specialty since it's mentioned in the name.) The beef balls were also dry. (I don't know why though. I've never had dry beef balls at any other pho place.) I wanted to like this place, and it had good reviews, but I think I'll come back for the pho at least. I'd rather get pho from Pho Hoa Lao, Pho Anh Dao, and Pho...

This is a small family owned restaurant with out of this world food. A lot of pho places use only one or two types of broth and seasoning, but my family and I all received pho with distinct savory flavors. My sister ordered in bone chicken soup and the broth was clear and savory, where whereas mine was fish cake and egg and had a thick, tomato based broth, and my mother had a seafood pho that had almost a miso flavor. The egg in my soup was absolutely delicious. The texture was just right, with seasoning that must have been added to the egg before they poached it. I highly recommend. Please note that there is only street...

Grandpa Approval

The chicken served has thin skin and no underlined fat and tender meat at very reasonable price. Very clean table settings, spotless plates, bowls, even sauces bottles. Sprouts served after roots are removed.

The steam rice rolls or banh cuon is excellent. The rice sheet is soft but not braking into paste, sign of quality. The fish sauce is little more on the sweet side and light in salt side. One can adjust to own taste.

Parking is a challenge but worthy the Parking effort.

Food at this price they deserve five stars in terms of value...
