“ Long overdue review - so happy I got catering here for a party at home during the summer. Really delicious options that I haven't seen on other Vietnamese catering/party tray menus, like bahn khot (savory pancakes topped with shrimp) and bahn goi (fried meat-filled hand pies). Also got some classics like egg rolls and skewers, but the savory pancakes and fried pies were the big hit of the party. Tofu skewers were great but chicken skewers were dry. The customer service was amazing. I got a text within an hour of submitting my catering request, and they really worked with me to pick options that worked well for my budget and number of guests. Everyone LOVED the food. Can't say enough good things! ”
“ Chicken wings is on fire love how crispy and it wasn't overly greasy. Every bite was just enough, most places either give you not enough Ben sauce on it or way too much where it's over powering. Give the wings 5/5. The shrimp banh cot was another 5/5 crispy. Banh with lemon grass chicken is pretty darn good! Since I don't do dark meat often it's not bad. I prefer an all meat but the taste is all there. I give it a 4 out of 5 in terms of flavoring I wish the banh mi was a bit more crispy. ”
“ 5/5. Really great service- rushed my order. So nice! Delicious bahn mi (that chicken pate!) and got 2 types of rolls. Really tasty. Go. ”
“ Food is very fresh. Efficient locker pickup for takeout orders. Parking is limited. There are many food delivery folks hovering inside the pickup area with their cars double parked with hazard lights on. ”
“ I got the Restaurant Week special Lunch Box. Mini banh mi, shrimp+pork spring rolls, banh hoi, egg rolls, nuoc mam chicken wings, bo kho Beef Stew cup served/mini baguette, and Vietnamese iced coffee. Everything was really tasty and the produce was fresh. Order way ahead if you can because anything at Oakland Food Hall takes 2x longer than stated. Worth the wait, just plan accordingly (30-60 min wait). ”
“ I was blown away by how good everything was! It's hard for me to choose a favorite but I really liked the egg rolls and spring rolls. The box is so cute!! I'm glad to be supporting a small business like this with such yummy food! It really makes me miss my mom's viet food, my favorite fix for viet food in the east bay for sure! ”
“ This is the first time in the East Bay i was able to get authentic and delicious bánh hỏi! This place is super underrated and the hidden gem of Vietnamese food in the Bay, and i was super lucky to stumble upon it. I'm across SF but I'd definitely come back here for a taste of home - Banh Hoi (5/5): if you usually order vermicelli, i highly recommend you try Banh Hoi which is basically a cuter/small version of noodles, that you can wrap the meat in. So good! - grilled beef & chicken skewers (5/5): i think both were super good and go really well with banh hoi The dishes here are a rare find outside of San Jose, so im excited to try other things here! Also def going to try catering here for future parties ”
“ Our office ordered catering from Vui Ve Eatery for 25 people and the owners suggested an assortment of sharing platters that included mini banh mis, spring rolls, and skewers. The catering process was easy and the owners were very communicative through email. They accommodated for vegetarians and people who eat halal. The food was delicious and fresh and everyone was so excited to eat it! Portions were very generous and we had leftovers to take home after our meeting. We'll definitely be ordering again! ”
