Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut sauce
Terrance S.

Gotta come back and try the pho. They have a good thing going here. Nonstop traffic, good service, and a great staff. The salad rolls were great and the wings were properly prepared. Gotta come back for some of the noodles.

Phong's Beef Bun Bo Hue (Spicy), Pho Dac Biet (Beef Combination), Salt & Pepper Tofu
Erica C.

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

late night shot o' clock

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.

Bun bo hue, duck with garlic noodles, fried egg roll and this ice tea. My lunch and dinner.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Garlic Noodles with roast duck
Elaine L.

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!

Bun Bo hue, spicy and delicious
Alex R.

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!

Worth the wait! This small soba and tempura shop services up delicious fare in a casual ambience…read more We arrived about 45 minutes before opening and were just one-person shy of the first seating so we had to wait for a table to finish before settling in. I decided on their cold soba with shrimp kakiage and vegetable tempura. Heavenly! Their tempura batter is whisper light and crisp. My favorite surprise was a piece of crab tempura tucked into my selection. We ended our meal mixing in the hot soba broth. I would definitely return, and hope for a shorter wait!

You self order at a kiosk and seat yourself. There are two people cooking everything from scratch in the open kitchen and they'll call your number when your food is ready. I advise coming before they open as my friend and I came 15 minutes before they opened on a random Wednesday and there were already 5 others ahead of us. If you miss the first seating, you'll have to wait 45 min until someone finishes and leaves. We decided to share one cold soba with shrimp tempura and veggies in addition to the spicy dipping broth. It was delicious!! If you aren't a big eater, one order is definitely enough to share. The soba portion is quite generous. The tempura is made-to-order and really crunchy. I'm excited to come back and try their scallop kakiage. The spicy broth was really good with a hint of yuzu so if you like spicy food, I'd recommend adding that as a side item. It's a "cozy" restaurant so you might be sharing a table with another party. I'd come solo or even at most with one other person to have the best opportunity to sit each other.

There was a remarkably…read morelong line, but I decided to get in it thinking I could order quick, chow down, and be on my way. Alas! it was not to be, as I had to meet up with my group, and the line only moved in smidges. The intervening years visiting SF didn't provide me with any opportune moments to stop by. That is, until one Saturday evening August 2026 while I was walking around and by chance happened upon the same lovely scent. Although it was a few minutes before 11pm, the line to get in was closed off. Tomorrow was my last night in SF, so I made it my primary objective to dine here. Well, Sunday I was at the Chase Center till about 9:20pm where the Muni line was packed and going nowhere fast. In the spur of the moment, I ran all the way from Chase Center to Lower Nob Hill, a 2.3-mile journey, yielding to red lights and Pokémon fans. Exhausted, it was a couple minutes past 10pm when I arrived. Lo and behold, the line had not closed yet. Ordered their Signature Toripaitan ramen and was very pleased that it was ready in about two minutes. I'm not afraid to admit I literally vacuumed the contents of that bowl. Sure I was sweaty and famished, but the combination of chashu, menma, burdock root, ajitama egg, chicken broth, and every other element checked all my proverbial boxes. The waitstaff who took my order was likely aghast that I ate so violently, though she was professional and responded energetically when I showered her with thanks and praise for the meal. I also ordered a mazemen to-go for the next day's lunch, and that was a real treat. Recently, I learned that there is a location in Culver City. Heck, why wait another 8 years?

It's a small space with limited seating, but the service is quick. We ordered the Tori Paitan Ramen and the spicy non veg ramen, along with chicken wings and spicy corn. Honestly, the ramen was a letdown. The broth was too salty and lacked flavor and the sides were just okay. For a Michelin Guide-recommended spot, we expected more. Maybe it's just us, but Mensho felt more hyped than worth it!

We were exploring town late at night and found this place on Yelp. Unfortunately, it shocked us in…read moreall the wrong ways. I'm still a little speechless 48 hours later. Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.

Awesome place with a huge portion size of food!…read more Good: - Only waited about 5min for a seat on a Sunday night for dinner - They are generous with the banchan and we had a couple refills - The galbi jjim for 2 people was way too much and well worth since it powered 2 more meals after - super fresh and so many toppings - the meat is super soft - The watermelon strawberry drink was huge and great value Bad: - Takes a while for the food to come - The place is pretty small Overall would come again, super comfort food. Great value and just enjoyed the vibes.
