This place is an institution - been coming here for 25 years. Fish cakes with the pickled veg are a must, as well as the dry noodles with chicken , pork , kidney , and shrimp .
Whenever I am in Oakland I always make a stop here. This is a great value place with good food. I would recomment the Beef Saday. Once you get seated you are served fast with fresh made food.
fresh beef with ho fun = perfect comfort food . Try the chili paste on the table, they make it themselves. They also sell it to go :) and of course have to get iced coffee with milk .
You could totally split any dish here, but I recommend you don't since you're going to be hungry enough for your own!
Chew jew fun with egg noodles and soup on the side! Add chili paste and mix!
You can get your noodles with soup on the side. I like mine dry. "Gon lo."
One of only 2 places in the Bay Area I know of that serves Vietnamese/Chinese style noodles . You'll get the evil eye from the old lady if you use too much chili oil !
Beef stew ho fun is delicious. They make their own hot chili sauce and pickled jalapeños .
Better than the el cerrito one, more flavor. Get it dry with soup on the side. Their combination fried rice is also good.
#21 Chiu chow noodles is great. Can get crowded , tough parking
maggie says to get #21. grass jelly with milk , fried fish cake
Best fresh noodle house in Oakland! Old school n run by their own rules!
the broth here is amazing! get some extra on the side.
#21, but get it without the innards of you're uncomfortable with that kinda thing.
Get the fish cakes and the stir fry kidney with green onions and Ginger . No organ stink and cooked to tender perfection. Quality control for 30+ years
I recommend #21 Chow Jew Ho Fun , the local favorite. No kidney and soup on the side, followed with jalepeno peppers , hot sauce , and hoi sing sauce.
Best stir fried kidney ! Sit by the window!
The spicy sparerib soup with the big white noodles is hangover heaven.
Spare rib noodle soup , w/ ho fun and mien!
Been coming for 20 years. Still great.
More validation that #21 with mixed noodles is a thing ????
