Grilled pork and anh hong egg rolls
Alena K.

Probably one of my new favorite spots in sf! They specialize in make your own spring rolls. Basically you pick your meat or egg roll and they give you many different fresh veggie options, pickled veggies, noodles and rice paper to wrap yourself. It's a fun way to customize eat bite. Service is fast and friendly. They offered more veggies even tho we still had so many on our table. It's a pretty big place with lots of big tables. Seems like a great spot for a family meal.

If you are Vietnamese, you'll find that this Anh Hong is a slightly different than a traditional Anh Hong with a set 7 courses of beef with vinegar pot/grill. It's à la carte style. It's kind of nice. They have all of the condiments needed to wrap. Banh Hoi was kind of thick and oily. Their lamb rack was so so good, perfectly cook. The ambiance was very nice. We definitely enjoyed it. The service was great. We definitely would come back.

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!

Came here at 5:30pm on a Friday with friends for a perfect girl dinner. We gambled and didn't make a reservation and while there were plenty of open tables, they had people coming at 6:30 so we only had 60 minutes to get in, eat, and exit. We tried the Grilled Beef with Lemongrass and Onion, Grilled Chicken with Rice Noodle Squares, and the Grilled Pork with Rice Noodle Squares. They were all delicious. My favorite was the grilled pork. I made each roll a little different so each spring roll was different. This place was on the smaller side of plenty of tables and everyone was really nice. Will definitely be

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.

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!

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.)

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!

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.

Everything on the menu?!

Ordered takeout after a day in the city. I ordered the lemongrass tofu, vegetable pho, and…read morevegetarian fried rice. The food tasted good, but I'm sure would have been better having fresh in the restaurant. The lemongrass tofu had good spice and lemongrass. Some restaurants have it as a garnish, but Gao Viet was able to harness the flavor perfectly. The fried rice was so plentiful and filling. The pho was also good. Everything came so uniquely packaged and warmed up well. I will come back just to try these dishes again in the restaurant.

Based on the meal I had at the one in San Mateo, I can't say I would've predicted I'd be writing…read moreabout this Gao for my 1,900th review nor that I'd be giving it five stars. Not that my experience was bad or anything; I just didn't think the food was as impressive as others made it out to be. That being said, part of me always wondered if we just didn't try the best of what they have to offer. Now that I've enjoyed multiple meals here, I KNOW that was very much the case! If you didn't know beforehand, you'd never guess that this place used to be a KFC/Taco Bell. However, as awesome of a job as they did to completely change the look of the space, the menu is even more impressive. Not only was it easier to read than the one in San Mateo (I remember it felt cluttered), but everything just sounded more appealing. From their Vietnamese street eats, starters, and cocktails to their seafood entrees, specialties, and noodle soups, nearly every dish sounded too good not to try! -- BIG GAO PHO - Beef Rib, Filet Mignon, Bone Marrow, Onion, Green Onion, Cilantro, and Rice Noodles...$41 Honestly, I get why everyone says good things about Gao's pho. More than how obviously loaded the bowl was, the rib and filet mignon were terrific and the broth was rich and flavorful yet not heavy/greasy. -- BO NE - Filet Mignon, Sweet Sausage, Pate, Fried Egg, Ham, Tomato, Onion, Green Onion, BBQ Sauce, and Bread (or Rice)...$45 Not only was the portion huge, but it tasted great! The beef was super tender, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the bread was soft yet crusty, and I really liked the sauce that everything sat in. -- SAUSAGE SPRING ROLL (Nem Nuon Cuon) - Pork Sausage, Rice Paper, Vermicelli, Lettuce, Cucumber, Mint, Beansprout, Fried Egg Roll Wrapper, and Pickled Carrots and Daikon with Peanut Sauce...$15 While this wasn't the best I've had, it's not far behind. Along with how plump the rolls were, the pork was really juicy and the veggies were super fresh. Too bad they don't have a dipping sauce like Brodard's! -- IMPERIAL ROLLS (Cha Gio) - Ground Pork, Wood Ear Mushroom, Vermicelli, Carrot, Taro, Onion, Rice Paper, Lettuce, Mint, Pickled Carrot, and Daikon...$16 Nothing amazing, but no less delicious. Each time we've had this, the rolls have been crispy and fairly sizable. Plus, I love how the egg rolls have never been all that oily either! -- BEEF BOY PHO with Beef Rib Cubes, Filet Mignon, Bone Marrow, and a 24-hour Beef Broth...$36 As intrigued as I was by their other varieties, I couldn't resist trying the smaller version of the Big Gao Pho. Surprisingly, I actually thought this was better - no bones to deal with and still just as delicious and meaty. -- BUN CHA - Fatty Pork Meatball, Pork Belly, Chili, Fish Sauce, Lettuce, Vermicelli, Cucumber, Mint, Green Onion, Pickled Carrot, and Daikon...$30 I was pretty excited to try this and, thankfully, it turned out great! The pork meatballs were juicy and the pork belly was so luscious. I also liked how they didn't skimp on the vegetables either! So good. -- WHAT DA DUCK PHO (Pho Vit) - Duck Breast Marinated in a House Sauce, Roasted and Pan Seared, in a Pork & Beef Broth...$36 This didn't amaze like some of the other dishes here, but it was more than solid. The noodles had a nice bite to them and it came with a fair amount of duck, which was tender and quite flavorful. -- FISH SAUCE CHICKEN WINGS with Vietnamese Coriander, Garlic, Chili, Jalapeno, Bell Pepper, Lettuce, and Onions...$17 So, so good! The wings were really crispy and moist, but the fish sauce glaze/sauce on this was what made this stand out - a bit salty, a bit spicy, and lets of umami. -- TURMERIC FISH & DILL - Tumeric-Marinated Fish Pan-Seared with Dill and Onion, Served Sizzling with Vermicelli, Herbs, and Dipping Sauce...$37 Not as good as my favorite in San Jose, but still so tasty. The fish was crispy and flaky with the right mix of dill and turmeric to it. Plus, the portion was so big, I easily got two meals out of this. -- UBE COFFEE - Vietnamese Iced Coffee Topped with Ube Sweet Cream...$8.50 This was a little sweeter than I prefer, but it was delicious! The coffee tastes so good and is well complemented by the ube. Yum! Beyond how good the food is, the other thing that has stood out about Gao has been the service. In addition to just being able to take large party reservations (we've been here twice with 14+ people), the servers have always been so patient and friendly. Plus, one time, when our server realized that she gave us the wrong beers, she ended up taking them off our bill even though we told her we didn't mind - so nice! Despite how it's pricier than your average Vietnamese restaurant (it's also a lot nicer), it's safe to say I'm now a big fan of Gao. So much so that I feel like I need to go back to their San Mateo spot just to update my review...and to have another excuse to try even more of the food. FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded up.

Ever since opening its doors back in the 1970s,…read morethis Sunset District institution has remained as reliable, comforting, and delicious as ever. The cozy, warm interior dining room sets a great mood, but it's the food--and the iconic plastic bibs--that make it an unforgettable experience. Breakdown of our order off the menu: STARTERS * Dungeness Crab Puffs: Flaky, light wonton shells packed with minced crab, pine nuts, and herb cheese, served alongside a delicious peanut-mustard dipping sauce. * Lemongrass Chicken Satay: Charbroiled, beautifully seasoned skewer chicken garnished with fresh mixed greens--a great bite to start the meal. LARGE PLATES * Shaken Beef: Tender, juicy cubes of marinated Filet Mignon wok-tossed with red wine and served alongside potatoes over greens. THE MAIN ATTRACTION * Roast Crab: Simply legendary. A whole, sweet Dungeness crab roasted in An's famous secret garlic sauce and spices. It's savory, rich, incredibly flavorful, and worth every messy bite! * Garlic Noodles: Absolutely essential. Rich, perfectly cooked noodles tossed in their iconic garlic sauce and secret spices. Pro tip: soak up every bit of the leftover roasted crab garlic juice with these noodles. If you are in SF and love seafood, Thanh Long is an absolute non-negotiable. Fantastic food, welcoming atmosphere, and a true local classic that never disappoints!

I booked a week ahead for a family dinner (and was able to move the date the day before), and I'd guess walk-ins face a long wait. The garlic noodles were amazing. I don't think I've ever enjoyed plain noodles so much - that sauce is honestly magical. I'd recommend the place for the noodles alone, but everything else we ordered was super flavorful with great texture too. The shaking beef was beautifully marinated and fall-apart tender, with potatoes and onions mixed in. The crab puffs were an explosion of flavor, loaded with juicy crab meat inside a crispy fried shell. Service was fast, efficient, and friendly. It's definitely on the pricey side (the crab runs about $88, so it's probably best saved for a bigger group, and we kept it simple with a toddler in tow), and the interior is old school, but it has its charm. We were totally happy we tried this spot at last and plan to go back many times.
