Oakland: Xyclo; restaurant review

880 South

Xyclo  

4218 Piedmont Ave., Entrada Ave., (510) 654-2681. L-D daily; $$. Reservations advised.

In simple but pleasant surroundings, this Vietnamese venue inspires diners to argue over which is the best dish. The list of possibilities at Xyclo includes stuffed eggplant (actually long slices of eggplant tossed with lengthwise slices of fried shrimp, green onion, and sake sauce), spicy green beans, chili ribs, devil wings, spicy steak salad, pho, double spring rolls, sugarcane shrimp roll, bird’s nest noodles, and lemongrass basil chicken dish. And on and on. It is difficult to order poorly.



Way more things to do in Oakland.

More ideas for exploring Northern California.
