“ Visiting on a work trip, let me say this is one of, if not the best pho broth I’ve ever had. Also this chicken with the ginger sauce, that was the real winner. My only regret is not having enough room in my tummy to try the rice rolls. Rarely see them at pho spots. ”
“ Great comfort food. Reminds me just like how my mom makes her special steam chicken loved how hot (temp) the soup was and still hot even after I had finish my bowl. I had leftover chicken and took it to go. Loved how they hooked me up with an extra ginger scallion sauce without the extra charge. The staff was also extremely friendly :) would come back. Parking area is a bit sketch but delicious food is always worth risking my life for lol ”
“ Best bahn cuon in Bay Area that I've had. I'm a very picky eater and I love this place. Other places only serve around 5 pieces with a bunch of veggies and meats but I ONLY want banh cuon and this place serves 10 pieces that have pretty good amount of meat inside. And the price is pretty good for how many pieces we get. And I don't eat spicy so I always ask for non-spicy fish sauce. I love to dunk every bite in fish sauce so I always ask for 2 fish sauce (I always only order to go). ”
“ I come here quite often. The chicken is always very tender, and the menu is simple but well executed. The chicken broth is clean and flavorful, and if you like spicy food, adding their chili sauce really takes it to the next level. Prices are very reasonable, portions are solid, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Compared to the rice dishes, I strongly recommend ordering the noodle soups. It’s a great spot for all ages, and kids especially enjoy it. ”
“ Tastes like home food. The chicken is fresh and has a bright yellow color from turmeric ! It’s a very light broth . No msg probably. 5 large pieces of chicken in my soup. Veggie plate w lightly cooked sprouts the way my mom would prefer it! I love the rice rolls! I’ve never been good at making those At home. Without my mothers coaching . So I’m glad to get this Togo! This is so close to home! ”

About
Wing Wah Pho Ga Restaurant
Situated in the heart of Oakland, Wing Wah Pho Ga Restaurant offers a soul-soothing taste of authentic Vietnamese comfort food. Known for its expertly crafted chicken pho, this unassuming spot delivers a broth that is both clean and flavorful, a testament to its carefully simmered bones and delicate spices. The broth’s warmth lingers long after the last spoonful, making it a perfect refuge on any chilly day.
The highlight here is undeniably the tender, juicy chicken served on the bone, often bathed in a fragrant ginger scallion sauce that elevates the dish to a new level. The chicken carries a bright yellow hue, courtesy of turmeric, recalling the homestyle cooking many cherish. Alongside the pho, the Banh Cuon—the steamed rice rolls—stand out as a must-try. Unlike many other places that skimp on portions, Wing Wah offers generous servings with well-filled rice rolls, balancing texture and flavor beautifully. These rice rolls are a rarity at pho establishments, making their presence here all the more special.
Portion sizes are hearty and priced well for the quality and quantity. The menu keeps it simple, focusing on perfecting a few standout dishes rather than overwhelming with choices. This straightforward approach enhances the dining experience, allowing each dish to shine in its own right.
Service at Wing Wah is friendly and attentive, often going above and beyond with thoughtful touches, such as complimentary sauces to complement your meal. While the neighborhood ambiance might feel gritty, the food clearly comes from a place of passion and authenticity, reflecting the rich Vietnamese culinary heritage.
If you seek a genuine taste of classic pho ga made with care, coupled with rare finds like substantial banh cuon and bright ginger sauces, Wing Wah Pho Ga Restaurant is a hidden gem in Oakland’s dining scene that deserves a visit.
