This is the best pho place I've ever been to. You know that they boil the bones and meat down because you can see remnants of it in the broth the broth was so rich and beefy. The service was fast but we had just gotten there before the rush. The workers were joyful to work and we even met the owner. I really enjoyed this place and it is rare to get a great pho place that has a rich, delicious broth like this.
This is the same place as the Pho de Nguyen in San Bruno. The spicy bun bo hue is delicious. It's the star of the show. It wasn't as spicy as a bowl you can get into San Jose but I was fine with that because it was flavorful. If I came back, I'd only come for the bun bo hue. The regular pho was solid. Skip the salt and pepper tofu. They didn't use soft tofu, so it was pretty hard to bite into. I do wish there was more noodle in both bowls , and I wish the broths were hotter. There were flies all around my table, but that's probably because the flies were attracted to the smell of the broths. I'd probably go back to the San Bruno location because there were no flies and better parking. Service was standard. They were attentive with the water. Total was $65+ for 3 dishes with tax
A fantastic group of friends and I hit up Pho de Nguyen after a fun night out celebrating one of our other friend's birthday. I had never been so was excited to try. The group ordered an assortment of items, among which were spring rolls, chicken wings, beef carpaccio, beef pho, and chicken pho. Everything was really tasty, perhaps not as high tier as a daytime restaurant, but for late night eats, this place slaps, and I really don't think it gets any better than a hot bowl of pho to mitigate or prevent a next-day hangover. The staff was super friendly with us and passed around shots at the end of the meal. I'd def recommend this place over others for your next late night out.
Good food and good vibes. I came here before the rush hour. Got their Combo Pho (Dac Biet), broth was flavorful and their filet mignon beef was . They have high chair for toddlers. Vietnamese coffee if you need a pick me up. Loved that they were playing old school Canto Pop, hah, made me feel at home. Check em out, byeee. -ig@blacktigereats
It's been a real treat to see Pho de Nguyen become an essential late-night spot in the SOMA neighborhood. With the lamps, warm and down-to-earth hospitality, and Friday DJ nights, this is a go-to spot for pho and bun bo hue whenever I'm craving a bowl of hearty flavor. I especially appreciate the high quality of the brisket. The staff here are also really kind and have their heart in the place! Shout-out to chef Phung for connecting with us customers and his dedication to creating community in the neighborhood.
Food good every time. They also open very late which is perfect cause I'm night owl. They really nice and service always pretty quick.
Food 5/5 - mmm..mmm..hmm--this place hit the spot! Things ordered: 1. Pho combination--it was very good broth, not too much salt either. It was delish!!! 2. Thai tea--refreshing! 3. Spring roll-this was very fresh and by far the best tasting spring roll I had in a restaurant. The peanut butter sauce really hit that spot! Service 5/5 - The service was immediate, I only waited under 10 minutes. This Is a family owned restaurant. The lady gave me a extra refill Thai tea. Ambiance 5/5 -It was clean. Hard to find parking off 6th and Bryant or in that area but this Food Is worth it.
I think this was a 3-3.5. I came late during a lunch break around midnight. This place is great for late night. Hard to find good soup anywhere around this time in San Francisco. Taste for the pho was ok. It wasn't spectacular but it wasnt bad. I dont feel that it warrants a 19 dollar price tag. You get a lot of broth to noodle/food ratio. I did like the fried springrolls as they used the clear wrapper however there wasnt enough fish sauce and it came with a 15 dollar price tag. For one person expect to pay 40-50 dollars. Service was nice however the water is unfiltered tap water, so bring your own if you want to have a different taste. They never refilled my water so that was a little frustrating. Music played with the explicit version of a 2000s mix. So that part was nice. One of the workers was just on facetime with I assume his girlfriend the whole time so maybe the reason I couldnt get more water. I tipped well because I was seated right away. Everything is essentially self service. You order and pay online. Otherwise you are left alone.
We flew in from San Diego area and stoped by after a night out when we were seriously craving some pho and it did not disappoint. The fact that they're open very late makes it even better. The pho was exactly what we needed: hot, flavorful, and comforting. The broth was delicious and really hit the spot. There's just something about a warm bowl of pho late at night that hits differently! What really stood out, though, was how nice the owner was. He genuinely cared about his customers and took the time to talk with us and get to know us. You could tell he really takes pride in the restaurant and wants people to have a good experience. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference. So glad we stumbled upon this place! If you're out late and craving pho or a comforting bowl of soup, definitely give this spot a try. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.
Came because of the reviews but was disappointed. The staff is friendly and the table included a QR code so you can see the menu and download the app to order. We tried the pho but the broth was not as savory as expected and the texture of the noodles was off. The place had several small tables that were a little crowded but were ok. We went right before 10pm so it wasn't crowded.
The best meal we had in SF! The music was just as good as the food; the music was honestly better than our wedding dj. Immaculate 100/10 , would return! The garlic noodles are more sweet than savory fyi!
The food was fantastic, i ordered the bun Bo hue which is a spicy pork broth mixed with beef. It was delicious. I also wanted to try the raw guar cane juice and it was also very good, taste like coconut water. The service was easy you just scan a QR code at your table and order from your phone. The ambiance was great as well.
Food is Immaculate the taste is out of this world. It might be the best banh mi I've ever had In my life but the food is not even the best part about this restaurant! The service is incredible! Staff is very helpful professional and sweet individuals who genuinely care about the service they provide. Not to mention the Ambiance was amazing too it felt very close and homey inside the restaurant, It feels like everyone is a family there especially when late night they have a DJ setup for music makes the whole experience extra intimate!

Landed in SF at 12am from the airplane. Perfect place for late night noodles! We got there around 1ish. Got seated right away. It was nice and mellow, not too loud of crowded at this time. The pho broth was perfect!! Not too sweet or salty. It had the right balance of flavors. Beef vermicelli bowls 10/10. The spring rolls were light, and the peanut sauce was yummy. If we ever have a late flight again, we're def stopping by another time! read more

Came here late on a Friday night and the vibe was great! Lots of people and good music. Definitely fit the right vibe for the night! The pho was pretty good. The broth really stood out to me and hit the right flavor notes. The noodles and meat also went very well with this. What really stood out to me here though was the service! Our waitress checked on us multiple times and made sure to let us know when the kitchen was closing. My one friend hadn't ordered anything and they offered to give him some free soup on the house, which was really nice. I will definitely want to come back and try some more food here! read more

I stumbled into Pho De Nguyen when I was out on Jury Duty, having looked up locations around the area, only to find other restaurants being ghost kitchens. Pho de Nguyen was right on the corner, and of course, I had to stop by. The ambience of the place was pretty busy; you can imagine a bunch of jurors coming out for Lunch and waiting to grab a meal before heading back in. I was lucky to get in before a large rush and was seated quickly. They have a good amount of seating, including a large table for folks who don't mind that shared customer experience. I had a seat by the window and wish I had chosen the shared table as it was away from the sun, but I was already committed! I checked out the menu and there was a lot of selections to choose from, and I was heavily debating about the Pho that my friend who lives nearby grabs all the time, but me being a fan of broken rice, I had to go for the Com Tam over beef, aka Broken rice over beef along with a Vietnamese coffee, because damn, I was falling asleep that day. The food came out after about 10 minutes, and wow, did it look good! I forgot to take a photo of the Vietnamese coffee because I downed it so quickly, but it matched the ones that I normally get when I go to San Jose! I poured a good amount of fish sauce over the rice, beef, vegetables, and fried Cha Gio (Spring rolls), and damn, was it good. There aren't that many places outside of San Jose that I come to around San Francisco for a rice plate, but this will be another one I add when I'm in the area and craving Vietnamese. The beef was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, the Cha Gio was piping hot and crunchy, and I just scarfed it down. The rice is fluffy and great with the fish sauce, and the veggies, well, the veggies are always a good mix with this combo. Overall, great food, great coffee, great hospitality, and the owner/worker was extremely friendly! read more

Hands down the best pho ever! Great service, and our server did an amazing job taking care of everyone even while busy. This was my third time here, but my husband and sister's first--and after one taste of the broth, it became their favorite pho spot too. Highly recommend! read more

Came in late night about 11pm. We ordered * shrimp spring rolls * fried imperial rolls * the special (tuna) * pho dac biet with added oxtail * pho tai Every single thing was delicious. There were details and final touches that made all the dishes stand out. Lots of love and thoughtfulness in the food. Vibes were immaculate and service was super friendly. Shoutout to Josh. They heard we wanted to try the crab rangoons and brought us some to try which was super generous. Will definitely come back! read more

The portions are generous, the presentation is on point, and every bite was worth it! Loved everything we ordered! read more

Cute place I rarely go to this neighborhood so when I was there I needed a quick bowl of phone and beef salad. Very good. read more
First time eater but a long time lurker. I wandered in after dying to have some pho since I feel under the weather. I finally went today and here's my honest review Food: $4 for an 8 FL oz coke and $19 bowl of pho. The pho does photograph well and looks very appetizing. There's more broth and noods than does meat. Broth is flavorful, briny, and does the job. I got their spicy pho beef and pork soup. It's spicy so don't get it if your spice level is less than one chilli pepper. You'll sweat through all your crevasse and cry! If you're a spice champ then this would be a good pho to get. I wouldn't say it's going to be my new go to spot but if I ever found myself needing emergency pho, this place does the job. Ambiance: the layout reminds me of Turtle Tower which was here before this place came in. The music on the speaker is super loud and blasting viet pop. It's fine if you don't mind it but it can be distracting if you're trying to have a cute date with someone or yourself. The got artwork everywhere and honestly it adds the charms. Service: 3.5 stars for me. Two of the workers wear gloves BUT was touching EVERYTHING with the same gloves. This includes the coke can I ordered AND the napkins I asked for. Gloved hands does not always mean sanitary. Mind you the same workers wore same pair of gloves entire time I was there while continue to touch every surfaces at the establishment. It does not help that one of them wore the same pair of gloves to pack to go fish sauce containers , handling cash and bills, fill to go Vietnamese coffee, and also handling to go order. Honestly, this is a no no read more

Hi! Sorry for the late response! We have addressed it to staff awhile…
Recently tried Pho de Nguyen again because I was in the area for jury duty. Busy lunch rush. QR code ordering. Got a bowl of the Pho Tai. The noodles were overcooked. The broth was okay. Not the best I had unfortunately. The water cup I was given had oil in it. A tad sloppy. I know it's lunch rush tho so maybe just an off day. Not much interaction from the staff, but they seemed friendly. Located on 6th St and Bryant. read more
I was curious what became of the former Turtle Tower space on 6th and Bryant since they moved to California Street to become a pricier version of itself (review: https://yelp.to/4OlUZUDKyn). This San Bruno-based pho shop decided to move in, and I thought there might be a chance that I could get the chicken giblet pho I was craving. Fat chance. They serve chicken pho but no signs of innards. I got here at a less than ideal time. A large work party dominated the space, and the only seat available was a narrow counter facing the wall. I felt like I was being punished by my homeroom teacher. Feeling frisky, I decided to order the $23 Ox Tail Pho, which was definitely on the higher end of the menu. The bowl arrived completely filled to the rim with scorching hot broth (Photo 6). Spillage was inevitable and when the too-hot-to-touch bones slid off my chopsticks, big splashes occurred. Why they didn't offer a plate for the discarded bones, I don't know. I used what was left of my raggedy napkin as my own boneyard. The ox tails were not as fall-off-the-bone tender as I was hoping, but they were tasty enough. The broth lacked richness but not flavor. I missed my giblets though. FOOD - 3 stars...blistering hot broth and bones, but the ox tails had meat on them AMBIANCE - 3 stars...no changes from the Turtle Tower days SERVICE - 3 stars...not much interaction TOTAL - 3 stars...hopeful it will improve...and add giblets!

Came late to this establishment as I was craving pho and all of the other nearby Vietnamese restaurants were closed. Not sure if this is the regular playlist, but we came around 9pm and they were bumping loud EDM! I'm not mad about it, felt like I was at a rave (can I check this one off my bucket list?). Maybe not the best spot for a first date lol. Servers were very chill, though we had a major spill at our table and nobody helped to clean it up. Hopefully they just didn't see or hear it...benefit of the doubt! Alright, let's get to the food: Pho Dac Biet - 3/5 your average bowl of pho, not bad, not exciting. I've definitely had better, the broth wasn't the most flavorful. Portioning of meat was good, and I enjoyed the cooked-ness of the noodles. Thai Tea - 3/5 not my favorite Thai tea, i'll be honest. Looked like they used whole milk which didn't affect the taste much but made it less creamy than I'm used to. Overall, I'm happy to have tried it, and I'm open to coming back to try some other menu items. read more

Hi! We are currently closed for dine in but hopefully you can come in…
No frills pho spot open relatively late at night in the Mission Bay area. Atmosphere is energetic as the workers are bumping EDM and lively pop. I got the pho dac biet and it was solid with generous protein portions. Definitely satisfies any craving you have for soup. Paid street parking can be difficult to find. read more

the food here is oh so delicious, the beef carpaccio is a must try!! savory and fresh, and a punch in the mouth with that squeeze of lemon. love the chicken wings and bun bo hue too - all three flavors complemented each other nicely. also the server was such a vibe and apparently fri night is dj night?? read more
Delicious flavor! Rich, savory broth with depth. I ordered the beef combo pho. Beef was so tender and of a high quality. Would definitely get again and would recommend this spot for anyone looking for some great pho! The service was also quick and friendly. Theres also some seating inside the restaurant if you want to dine in. read more

Had jury duty and wanted to get some pho for lunch nearby. There are no physical menus at this place and orders are taken by scanning a QR Code to bring up a website. I ordered a Pho Dac Biet with a good amount of meat and noodles. read more
I hate giving bad reviews to restaurants that just opened but man, this place should really try to improve. I don't know how they have a second location. The good: - I enjoyed their crab rangoons, which came with pickled radish - I liked their Pho after adding in hoisin and Siracha but if they're trying to be a southern broth it is just a touch too bland, and if a northern broth, it's missing a few things. - the duck that came with their duck noodle soups were crispy and good The meh : - we were highly recommended the Bun Bo Hue by the waitress as it's their signature, but it was not good-- probably the worst I've had in the states. It lacked any hue seasoning and overall tasted really bland. They use lemongrass flakes instead of the real stalks and didn't even try to have any of the real hue fixings. - prices are unreasonably high for such quality - loud disorganized ambiance...there was loud, random music playing and changing every minute and louder chatter in the back kitchen from everyone, including the owner it would seem. read more

Hi! Sorry this happened! We added more lemongrass since this comment.…
Loved the bun bo hue here! This location has had many iterations of vietnamese/pho spots over the years but I was excited to see this new pho restaurant open up close by. Ordering is easy via qr code at the tables and you can also order online or via a kiosk to-go. Came on a Wednesday night for a casual dinner and ordered the bun bo hue with a variety of beef cuts. Loved the spicy and rich broth which had such great flavor and a nice spicy kick. The meat was tender and came in a fairly large portion. You can also choose between thin, flat, and vermicelli noodles. I got the flat noodles which were perfect for soaking up the soup and I liked the side of bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos and red cabbage that came along with the noodle soup. I'll have to come by to try the beef and chicken pho as well but overall excited to have this spot in the neighborhood. Extra points because they open up late and service was great - refilling our water multiple times! read more
It is incredibly rare to find a pho spot in the city that stays open past 10 p.m., let alone until 1 a.m. Pho De Nguyen absolutely delivers on late-night comfort food, and I am so glad I found this restaurant. I have already been a few times, both on my own and with my brothers, and we have slowly been working our way through the menu. Even though they are currently in their soft opening phase, the team works together smoothly to keep everything running well. Ordering is very easy, whether you choose to order in person, use the kiosk near the door, or scan the QR code to order by phone. The menu is simple but offers a great variety. My go-to items so far are the pho and the crab rangoons. Both are consistently delicious. The wings are also excellent, especially if you get them with the "sticky" option. What truly sets this place apart is the hospitality. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and down-to-earth. On one visit, the main chef even came out to greet the guests once the place quieted down. He asked for feedback and just wanted to connect with everyone, which I really appreciated. Parking is metered right in front, but a helpful tip is to go around to Bryant Street, where there is two-hour free parking available. Although the interior is small and space is a bit tight, it still feels cozy and comfortable. This is now my go-to late-night spot whenever I am back in the city late and craving something warm, simple, and comforting. read more
