It's flavorful and delicious. I could eat this as my entree and be perfectly happy! I wish they gave 4 leaves of lettuce. For dinner, we had: Garlic Noodles with Sea Bass Fillet & Grilled Pork - pretty good. I was hoping the noodles would be more garlicky. Tiger Shrimp Bun (Vermicelli Bowl) - also pretty good. Garlic Noodles with Chicken Pho Overall it was pretty good.

OMG! Worth the wait,…read moreworth the hassle of the city. First of all...they are: * Well and reasonably priced. * Beautiful interior. * Bomb and delicious food and drinks (and wine)! Every single thing tasted and touched was amazing. I consider myself a pho lover and Connoisseur - their pho - my goodness, it's flavorful, fresh, amazing broth, meat and NEEDS almost NOTHING added. It may be theee best Pho I've had in the city (sorry Turtle tower). Bun Chua was also amazing. I gotta get back here. It's the spot. Drinks were GOOD. Waiter was pleasant, on his stuff. Just an all around amazing experience. I'll be back!

Very disappointed with my experience at Bodega Restaurant in SF. I ordered the dry noodles, and…read morehonestly, it was terrible. The dish had mostly noodles, only two shrimps and a few slices of cucumbers, and the flavor was not good at all. Paying $19 for such a small amount of toppings felt unbelievable and completely not worth it. Also, the sugarcane drink cost $7, but the cup was super small. For the price, I expected much better quality and portion size. Overall, this place was a huge disappointment for me. Definitely not worth the money. Sadly, I would never come back and would not recommend this restaurant to my friends or family.

It has been a MINUTE since I've been back at Anh Hong, but as always, it did not disappoint!…read more We used to go back in the day when they were still in the TL doing the seven courses of beef. They don't do that anymore, but they still have the same stuff you just have to order à la carte. The restaurant isn't huge, but they're definitely giving more upscale vibes, and I highly recommended making a reservation because they definitely get busy. You end up with a lot of food on the table so it's nice that the tables are huge! We ordered a bunch of things, including their beef carpaccio, beef wrap, grilled pork, and imperial roll dishes, but I think what stood out the most were the prawns! A little on the pricier side, but definitely tasty.

The…read moreportions were pretty large and every table gets a giant plate of vegetables and plenty of rice paper for the rolls. The meats had really good flavor. My favorites were the shrimp (had a nice charred/grilled flavor), along with the pork sausage (sweet and tender). However my friends and I agreed that the food was rather oily so it didn't make us feel great after eating. It can get crowded inside as well. Service was very slow and it took us a long time to get seated and also get our food. Given the slow service and very oily meats, I probably would not come back. However, I really like the concept of this restaurant, so if you are looking for a DIY spring roll spot this is the place to go!

I came in already…read moreknowing I wanted the Five Spice Chicken with garlic noodles and imperial rolls (#27) since it seemed like the most popular dish. My boyfriend got the Charbroiled beef with garlic noodles and imperial rolls (#24) with an extra order of beef. Our meal was super filling and balanced! They don't skimp out on either the noodles or the protein (definitely could have done without the extra beef we ordered). The chicken was juicy but the skin stayed crispy. The charbroiled beef had the smallest hint of sweetness for me. The noodles had a nice chew to them, and were dry but in the best way possible. A lot of garlic noodles tend to be too oily and leave an unpleasant lingering mouthfeel, but that wasn't the case here. The noodles could have used more garlic for my preference, but I think it was well balanced with the flavorful protein and fish sauce. The imperial rolls were okay and a nice crunchy side. I wouldn't get them as a separate appetizer, but only $1 more to add to your dish is unbeatable. Overall a great experience and I'd definitely bring some friends here for a comforting meal.

This older man walks around very ambitious with his little credit card terminal ready to charge anyone who is anyone. He gives no receipt. He is the owner and the waiter. But he does not give any service and just expects tip. All he does is walk around and collect money & does the very minimum. I've given this place multiple chances over the years, but unfortunately each experience has been uncomfortable in one way or another. The first time was around 2022. My family and I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and the owner told us he would still serve us. After seating us, though, he immediately pressured us to order quickly and told us we had to eat fast because they were closing. I was with my elderly relatives too so just turn us away? If that was the case, it would've been better to simply not seat us. Don't be greedy just bc you want a few bucks. Another time, my husband called to order Hanoi-style pho to go, and the owner responded with unnecessary attitude, saying that's the only kind they serve. LOL, ok. The interaction felt rude for no reason. Most recently, we came on Mother's Day. The dishwasher/staff member was also unfriendly. The bun cha was decent according to my mom, and my husband said the beef stew noodle dish was okay, but my pho lacked flavor entirely. I wasn't expecting it to compare to pho in Vietnam or even San Jose, but it tasted very bland so I didn't finish it. The service from the owner continues to be the biggest issue. When we paid, he stood over us while I counted cash, so I felt pressure to count fast and add tip quickly. He left then came back a few seconds later then quickly grabbed the money without even asking whether I needed change and disappeared faster than the wind. The whole interaction felt awkward and pushy. He has a very strange personality. He's honestly very sleazy and has bad energy After several experiences like this, we won't be returning.

The interior is nicely decorated and transports you to Vietnam, and they have windows that extend outwards which opens up the space, and is especially nice on a bright sunny day. Pros: .

I'd recommend splitting an entree between two people unless you're especially hungry Cons: . Service is really slow; Once I got my food they ignored me, so I didn't get water refills often and you have to hunt them down to get the bill . Pricey! Each item is around 30$ each.

We both got soup on the side which seemed like the way to go. The broth is really flavorful and comforting and I liked how with soup on the side you can easily control the amount of soup/flavor you add to the noodles. The beef stew & tendon mixture was nice and tender and I liked the variety in the house noodles. We're not big liver fans but everything else was yummy. We were able to find street parking quickly and luckily came by earlier to beat the lunch rush. Definitely a great spot for a yummy, comforting and cheap meal!
