Rang Dong Restaurant

Good for Bun Rieu & Bun Bo Hue (pictured).

11/12/2022: Quick stop before heading to the Oakland Zoo. Ordered the Bun Rieu & Bun Bo Hue again. Same yummy taste; however, I've noticed that the noodles didn't have pork blood.

Happened here by chance and I’m glad I did. My beef noodle soup was delicate, flavorful and chock full of beef shank (which happens to be the ideal kind for this dish)

I had a craving for Banh Mi. My little bro told me about this spot. Well today I needed my fix, so I took a drive. As I walked in I was greeted by a very nice friendly and respectful lady who asked me to take a seat. So, I did right where there was a stack of menus and I grabbed one. I wanted to try different meats to see which one I liked the best. My brother wanted the shredded pork so I got one too. Then I ordered a chicken and a beef. I know that is a lot but I needed my fix! I hope you understand? LOL Yes I can eat especially when I crave something I have not had in a long time. I told the Lady I will wait outside in my truck and she said she would bring the food out to me. Is that sweet or what. The wait was not that long and she did bring the food out in a very professional and friendly manner. So, to me the service was very nice. Me and brother drove to our hangout and was getting sun and eating outside. Nice day. I tried the pork first which was very good and had some very hot green chile which I love. Then the chicken, again very good and tasty with that heat which I loved. I told my brother when I write the review I will use a word that I never use to describe food? I said I will use the word lovely. I told my brother these were some lovely sandwiches. LOL! I know that sounds funny but they were very lovely sandwiches! Lastly the beef, I preferred the other two. The beef for some reason did not have the heat and flavor as the pork and chicken but still good but not as good as the other two. The Banh Mi from this place all in all quenched my craving in a very nice way. So, well worth the trip and I will try other dishes when I have the craving for Vietnamese Food. My brother told me there are other dishes I should try like their pho. I recommend Rang Dong for their very nice service and very lovely Banh Mi! Alameda you have a hidden gem on your hands so show your support and go get some! Thank You Rang Dong! 5 Stars!!

My favorite spot for a Vietnamese specialized noodle: Bun Rieu (Tomato Soup). It's typically difficult to find a restaurant that make this soup with flavor. Rang Dong is by far the best I have tried as far as the Bun Rieu is concerned. The slow cooked pork ribs (falls off bone), the fried tofu, pork blood cake, egg soup & scallions with bean sprouts, cilantro and slice jalapenos on the side. You'll be surprised of how tasty this soup is. Good Luck!
