Tôm Càng Bánh Hỏi$39.00 Big Water Prawns with Rice Noodle Squares
Susan N.

This is a small quaint place. Be sure to make a reservation before you go. We waited about 1 1/2 hours, and the service is a bit slow. They are not in a rush to clean up tables so they could seat the next guests. It's more like a we'll seat them when we seat them. No sense of urgency. The food is really good and fresh, but beware that their most popular items do contain peanuts inside of them. The river prawns were a bit overrated in my opinion. Overcooked and bit tough, and chewy would not get them again. Ask for extra napkins up front since you do end up eating with your hands most of it.

This restaurant is a fun place to go with friends and make your own spring rolls at the table. The portions 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!

Cha gio anh hong - egg rolls

Went for a weekend dinner and had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. It was busy and the space is on the smaller side. Service was friendly. They are dinner only so plan accordingly! I love Vietnamese spring rolls, so I was really excited to try this spot. We ordered a variety of dishes, and they also came with veggies and rice paper. - cha gio anh hong: 8 egg rolls with shrimp, pork, and vermicelli. Crispy and great to wrap with veggies and rice paper. - bo nuong la lot: grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf. The beef had a nice texture, but the leaf was not my favorite, though others in our group enjoyed it. - nem nuong: grilled pork that was delicious and classic. - banh xeo: my favorite dish. It was quite large and filled with shrimp and pork. Despite the generous filling, the crepe stayed perfectly crispy with a subtle coconut flavor. This is a great spot for a casual dinner or small celebration. We did not order drinks, but they also serve beer and wine on the menu. I recommend calling ahead for a reservation if possible.

It has been a MINUTE since I've been back at Anh Hong, but as always, it did not disappoint! 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.

Ambiance: We got here right as they opened and are we glad we did. There's a maybe 10 small tables and 2 large tables, but they had several large party reservations, so it's good to make reservations if you can. It wasn't super loud in there, the lighting is bright. My only complaint is the bathroom is very slick. Be careful when going in there. Service: We got seated pretty quickly, they took our order quickly without feeling rushed. We had a few questions about some pictures we saw online that looked good. Our waitress was very friendly and the food came out really quickly. The only issue is that a two top table is far too small for the amount of plates needed. Everything came out in different courses, so it manageable. They were also good about refilling water - something I love about a restaurant. (I get very thirsty.) Food: Every table has a basket of rice paper and a small plate on top of a big plate. They also bring out a big plate of veggies after you order and a bowl of warm water to make your rolls. They also place 3 different sauces on the table, a fish, a chili, and I think the last one is a shrimp paste sauce (but the super obnoxious guy on the table next to us kept screaming it was an anchovy sauce). It really reminded me of the shrimp sauce, but I didn't ask, so I'm really not sure. Either way, I put about 1 part fish sauce, ¼ chili, and maybe shrimp?? paste. So good. Beef carpaccio - flavorful and light. I love the fresh, crisp texture of the veggies they added, the vinegary slivers of daikon and carrots, topped with peanuts. The beef was so thinly sliced, it absorbed the flavors of the sauce. River prawns - big, juicy prawns packed with so much flavor. Not overly salty, crunchy, and the heads were also delicious. My friend and I ate the whole thing, shell and all. The underlying sauce was also thick and perfect for dipping the shrimp and the noodle squares. We're probably going to go back this week for this dish. We had it a few hours ago and we're still thinking about it and texting each other about it. It's really very good. Lastly, we got the nem nuong (we were going to get the rack of lamb, but I said we should get something we don't normally get). These pork sausages were so juicy and it came with a fried, rolled wonton wrapper?? (I don't know what it's made of!) We wrapped these in the rice paper with all the side veggies and I wrapped the whole rice paper with the lettuce. I was not very good at wrapping these and definitely need more practice. My friend and I want to go back and make this a regular spot. It's really very tasty and we wanna try everything on the menu! (Sans obnoxious dude next to us.)

Always a great time eating at Anh Hong. Food was delicious and service was great. The wonton and roasted crab were amazing, lots of food and full bellies.

Chloe S.

One of my favorite spots! Their bahn xeo is perfection, crispy, light and packed with sprouts pork and shrimps. The staff is amazing they refill your water jug and offer fresh plates of veggies. Our favorites have to be the sweet pork with the crispy topping. The beef carpaccio is also a hit, silky and tender beef! We love this spot for a light but filling meal. Fill your rice wraps with veggies and you won't feel so heavy after your meal!

Amaaaazing Viet place, we went Saturday around 8:15 and it was packed! Waited ~30 min for a table and the owner was so kind, he gave us cocktails on the house We got two different meats for the spring roll fillings and both were delicious! Also comes with pickled veggies, cucumbers and variety of lettuce / mint / herbs to stuff your spring rolls with we also got the Beef Porridge and Banh Xeo - portions are large!

Adel W.

Wow this is my new favorite Viet spot in SF (not for pho)!!! I had an amazing experience at Anh Hong, from making our own spring rolls to the owner giving us free cocktails. The meats were all delicious and they really don't skimp on portion sizes! I love how generous they are with the fillings and sides. The Banh Xeo was HUGE! Definitely coming back with a bigger group next time!

Everything on the menu?!
Selina P.

Amazing food, service, and vibes!!! I've come here with a group of 4 and a group of 9, and I had a fantastic experience each time. The food is the 100% the best Vietnamese food in the city... dare I say better than Gao Viet?!?! I've tried nearly everything on their menu! From the squab to the different spring rolls you roll yourself, and the shrimp omelette/pancake to the raw beef salad, and the wonton soup to the beef porridge, and the giant prawns to the secret off menu garlic crab, the meats are tender, the veggies are fresh & crisp, and the flavors are amazing. I love that you can roll and customize your own spring rolls, it's so fun! You can order any filling - grilled pork, nem, fishcake with sugarcane, lamb, beef, gigantic prawns. I also really love the crispy rice topped with a fried egg. They have a great list of drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. They also partner with their next door neighbors to provide specialty cocktails and mocktails. The service is fast and friendly - Harry is the best!! They are super attentive to your needs and take care of everything... it really feels like eating with your aunties and uncles who want to keep feeding you more and more food The restaurant is beautiful and nicely spaced out for small and large groups. Did you know that Anh Hong means the pink part of the sunset? All in all, this place is an 11/10 and I'm definitely coming back here by myself, with my partner, AND with a big group of friends! There is way more to Vietnamese food than pho... and this is the best spot to get it

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Portion to Price: 2/5 Overall: We did a family style dinner and the food was very tasty. The extended review... Food: 4/5 - We got a lot of different things to share including the beef carpaccio, shrimp rolls, lamb chops, and grilled pork. All of the dishes were very tasty. Service: 4/5 - Friendly and attentive service. Ambiance: 4/5 - A very nice interior. Portion to Price: 2/5 - A little bit on the pricier side.

all gone!

HIDDEN GEM ALERT been walking by this place for years. noticed recently it was packed and you have to wait hours to get a seat. finally try it out. packed. local crowd. lot of Cantonese chatter. food is delicious af. it's got a fun vibe where you make your own wrap and put your own vegetables in. the beef soup is ssooooooooooo homey af. omg. the beef Hawaiian thing was bomb af. i truly have regrets not walking in here earlier. damn

$39 - Half Rack of Lamb (much much smaller than the photo on the menu) =[
Simon Q.

Le sigh. It pains me to do this but unfortunately I had to lower the rating oh Anh Hong due to a recent visit. The portion sizes were abysmal when looking at the cost of each dishes. Service was extremely slow, not unfriendly, just slow... Frequently forgets what we asked for. And what is up with the stinginess of safeguarding the napkins? You would think for a restaurant that makes its patron use their hand to wrap their own food would give you more than a tiny piece of paper napkin.

Finding street parking 1.5 blocks away, I walked in and the hostess seated me at a long table to the right of the entrance. I was a little early which gave me time to study the menu. The dining room was mostly full already. When my party arrived, our host ordered several appetizers to share and asked each diner to decide on their own main meal. We tried three small bites as follows: a. Boneless fried chicken, soy garlic (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=KYa0rZOUsOqjeQpdJelYAA) - Korean style crispy boneless chicken; these were as described with a slightly sweet and sticky glaze. b. Popcorn salmon (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=92ZddPT6Qo2TiIur8YOpZA) - Bite size fried salmon with spicy salmon; I did not recognize that this was salmon until the 3rd bite. c. Bulgogi quesadilla (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=ymymJkLHfLRpJgYcbNFUCw) - Quesadilla with bulgogi and cheese; it makes for an interesting combination, again the sweetness from the meat meshing with the rich and savory cheese. I chose the pork plate (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=tYaxEnKifiKWh7TzfzH1rA), spicy; marinated sliced pork savory sauce cooked with veggies and glass noodle on sizzling plate, served with rice (more meat $7.00, brown rice $2.00 supplement charges). I had this with regular rice and the normal portion which was plenty. The flavor was consistent with K style cooking and, being full from a heavy lunch and the apps, I ended up bringing home half of this home, rice included. It seemed that everyone enjoyed their meals and everyone had boxes to bring food home so the portions are generous. In reading my original review, the food again rates 3.5 stars for me but it was interesting to see how the menu changed to include ramen and soups too. The two gals who tended to our big party (not an easy task) were efficient and cordial as they removed empty plates and bowls and refilled water glasses regularly. The dining room filled up by the time we left with a younger crowd. There is an extensive soju menu so that may be a draw too. With the # of restaurants in the Richmond, doubtful that I would return here other than for parties like this. Also, I lean towards more traditional Korean cuisine.

We arrived about an hour before closing, and quite a few menu items had already sold out. Our server was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely apologetic about the limited availability, even though it was completely understandable given the time. He made us feel welcomed and taken care of throughout the meal. We ordered the Classic Trio, which includes an appetizer, hot pot soup, and a main dish. For the appetizer, we chose Mama Mu's chicken wings, and they were absolutely phenomenal. They were coated in garlic, fish sauce, and a delicious glaze that hit the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and umami. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. For the hot pot, we went with the tom yum soup. It was sour, spicy, tomato-forward, and packed with a nice amount of heat. My only critique was that the meat portion was a little sparse, especially since we paid extra for the wagyu beef. Our main dish was the Pad Thai, which came topped with an egg omelet, chicken and tofu. It was a solid Pad Thai--though not the standout dish of the night. For dessert, we ordered the mango sticky rice and wow. The blue rice was perfectly sweet, rich, and coated in coconut goodness. It was the perfect way to end the meal.

We had it with tofu, as we did with all the dishes with that option. 2) Wing Zaap ($14): C+. I think that the secret SF specialty is wings and these had the distinction of a certain kind of spicy hot, but otherwise unremarkable. Lot of breading, cooked too long, and the dipping sauce was just basic sweet chili sauce. 3) Tom Kha soup ($17): A. Excellent taste, nice big mushrooms and tofu chunks, and that coconut broth is divine! Tastes best drunk straight from the bowl. 4) Pad Thai ($17): B. The acid test for any thai restaurant, it was better than many because the sweetness was just right, but oddly it was missing ingredients we often see, like green onion, limes, and peanuts. 5) Banana flavored wheat beer (Yodbeer Bearnana, $9): A. So there's craft beers in Thailand now. Yum! The waitress was excellent, always attentive, and cleaned up spills from the soup. I also liked the house music, though I was disappointed to see it was jazz written for restaurants. I thought it was really Wes Montgomery!

And if it's chicken wings your soul is screaming for, let's be honest: there isn't a single place in this town that can compete with San Tung. This recipe? It's completely off the hook. It is sweet, it is tangy, and it is utterly, shamelessly irresistible to the human tongue. It completely defies the pedestrian flavors that everyone else in this city is pushing. This isn't just food; it's a lifestyle choice. It's my drug of choice. What you've got here is a beautiful, bastardized combination of Chinese and Korean BBQ engineering. But let's get one thing straight: the secret isn't some mythical blend of eleven herbs and Chinese spices. No, it boils down to something far more primal: the type of chicken that San Tung purchases. They are looking for something very specific--the precise age, the exact size of the bird. And that? That is something they will absolutely never share with you. Like the formula for Coca-Cola, they guard that secret with a beautiful, paranoid intensity. Now, the people I really miss in this room are Charles and his wife. They split off from this sit-down paradise years ago and carved out their own gig right next door--San Tung 2. They took the crown and put themselves on the map for those wings. It was a beautiful, tightly run family affair--full-on mafia style. Whatever traffic drove through this side of town, they weren't here for the scenery; they were here for the wings. ST2 might be gone now, but the dream? The dream continues to thrive right here. So whenever that craving hits, do yourself a favor. Make your way over to this room. You'll thank me later.

Dry Fried Chicken Wings: These are great don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure if I'd wait in a crazy line to pick these up. The wings themselves are on the smaller side, but pretty juicy and nicely cooked. The sauce is really quite sweet on the sweet savory scale and the sugar almost crystallizes on the fried skin to make for an ultra thick, satisfying crust. TLDR: skip the line by ordering ahead or arriving early. The wings are very very solid.

Beautifully presented food that lacked the flavor punch we were looking for. We love fine dining…read morebut we love pungent, salty, acidic, spicy, and delicious food more. We showed up in time for their Early Girl Dinner ($38 for an appetizer and an entree from a select list) and shared a number of things. The fried soft tofu was fine, fairly muted although the maggi dipping sauce was salty and interesting. The avocado and rice paper salad was a dud, well-presented but mostly a dull tasting iceberg lettuce salad. We had the duck confit egg rolls (two orders) which were meaty and quite good, paired well with the honey mustard sauce. The fried catfish was just okay, a make your own lettuce wrap of fried catfish pieces (very nugget like). Sadly it was similar in idea to the Hanoi BBQ Heritage Pork, also a protein with a platter of unflavored rice noodles, herbs and lettuce. One of the dishes had more pickles and herbs than the other. But we found both underwhelming and too similar, especially since we had told our waiter we were planning a family style meal. The garlic noodles (with beef) was great in comparison. The added beef was generous with tender flavorful chunks that added a lot to the otherwise eh noodles.
