The restaurant itself was very vibey with good background music and the staff were all friendly. I enjoyed the dishes I ordered - I recommend the banh beo and banh cuon.

We tried the day's special stuffed wings--boneless wings stuffed with scallops, shrimp, and meat paste that were incredibly crisp, deeply savory, and served piping hot (be careful on that first bite!). The tuna tartare served on crunchy taro chips was wonderfully balanced--honestly, my only wish was for a few more chips because the flavor was so good. ​For mains, the tender beef cheek over celeriac mash with crispy enoki mushrooms and the rich Thịt Kho mushroom dish were both hits. Pro tip: definitely order a side of rice to soak up all those rich, delicious sauces! ​We wrapped up with dessert: the Mango Crepe Cake and the Lychee Ice Cream with a warm Pandan Mochi Bar. A quick strategy tip: eat the delicate mango crepe cake first! The pairing of the cool lychee ice cream over the warm, chewy pandan mochi bar is so vibrant and delicious that it will completely steal the show if you start with it. ​Can't wait to come back for more!

My friends and I visited Anh Hong as a large group of 9 and we able to try out a wide variety of…read moretheir dishes. Some dishes were better prepared than others, but overall, the food was solid across the board. If you enjoy making your own spring rolls, you'll love the grilled pork skewers. The pork is super tender and has such a incredible flavor profile of lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and more. Rolled up with the woven vermicelli noodles and fried wonton crisps in a rice paper, you get a wonderful combination of texture in a single bite. The other crowd favorite of the night was the bánh xèo -- the stuffed rice crepe. The bánh xèo here is by far the best one that I've ever had, even surpassing ones I had in Vietnam. The outside was insanely crispy and and was surprisingly not particularly oily, while the inside was loaded with fillings. Two other dishes that were well received by the group was the betel leaf wrapped grilled beef and the sugar cane shrimp. The beef had a very similar flavor profile as the pork, but the texture was a lot more lean. The shrimp had a bouncy, yet firm texture to it, and was very well-seasoned. My only qualm with the shrimp dish is that the sugarcane did not actually have any sweetness to it. There's fish sauce on the table along with a shrimp paste sauce, but to be honest, every dish we had was so flavorful on its own, the sauces aren't even needed. The only dish that we ordered that fell short was the grilled river shrimp. The presentation of the shrimp is impressive and very photogenic, but the flavor was lacking and the cook was inconsistent. Some people had shrimp that was undercooked -- borderline raw, and on the other end of the spectrum, others had shrimp that was so overcooked, that it was very difficult to remove the shrimp from the shell without completely tearing the meat. That said, everything else we ordered was well-prepared, and very tasty. Service was good throughout the meal, and I would definitely come back again for a meal with a large group. 4.5 experience rounding up to a 5.

(I also didn't order; my Vietnamese friend did, so I don't even remember the names of the dishes.) This restaurant (but not this location) does a 7(?) course beef meal. So we tried to imitate a similar experience here by ordering different dishes a la carte. The beef carpaccio was delicious. We also had a beef salad. And we got a few different beef sausage style dishes. They were served with rice paper to make our own rolls. It took a few tries to make a good looking roll, but it was a fun experience, and all of the dishes we had were tasty. The service was attentive and friendly. We had made a reservation since there were 7 of us, and they had a round table which I love for group dinners. We got there around 6pm, but within the hour, the restaurant was FULL on a Thursday night. Every single table was taken. I had no idea this place was so popular. Would come back.

The noodles had the perfect texture, the broth was so good and comforting, and the braised duck leg was super tender.

Definitely one of those old school noodle spots that hits the spot. Good food, quick seating and everything we ordered was delicious. We'll definitely be back!

The last two Saturdays in San Francisco have been not as sunny as people want them to be. One thing I always like to get in those days soup. When the sun is down I go to get Pho Ga at a Vietnamese restaurant. So I decide to pay An Chi a visit. On a weekend stroll on Geary boulevard in SF I landed at An Chi. Inside there is plenty of seating and it has an interesting and welcoming decor. The menu has everything from Banh Mi to different Buns like Bun Rieu to Bun Cha Gio Ga Nuong. I decided to get Garlic Noodle with Five Spice chicken. The noodles were like Angel hair but with a garlicky taste. I then I got the Pho Ga and the broth was tasty and it was refreshing . The noodles were fresh and chicken was tender. Overall a great place to grab Vietnamese food in SF. It feels the Fall has already "begun" when there are days in the Summer where there is barely any "sun "and some visitors and tourists get surprise and some are "stun"but you can get something warm like some some Pho along with some "bun" Go to Geary which is a boulevard and not a "street"where they serve lemon grass and bbq "meat" the Summer in SF isn't always sunshine and trying to hide from the "heat"it's also enjoying Pho and garlic noodles which are like Angel hair because An Chi is a good place to "eat"

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.
