    Grilled Pork and Imperial Roll with Vermicelli
    Edgar M.

    Two things happened. Random find and friend recalls this restaurant as a place to try. We had ended up having a late lunch bite. After one place was closed on the same street, Pho Ga caught our eye and appetite. Local restaurant with a relaxed vibe. Staff was welcoming, appreciated us being there. We ordered their soup and vermicelli dishes, spot on! Came out fast, tasty and full of flavor! Setting for lunch was relaxed and chill. Definitely be back when in area, not too far from downtown SF. Check it out, I did.

    I love coming here every time because they always have fresh chicken meat and authentic chicken soup. I love how it's thick and soft rice noodles too. The food always comes out quick, whether you dine in, take it togo, or door-dash. I always tell my friends and friends to get the pho ga here. The service is always nice whenever I come. This place fits about 45 people here I believe and great for family gatherings.

    #12 - Chicken Noodle Soup
    Harry W.

    A SOLID Reliable Choice for Vietnamese Chicken Pho' (Noodle Soup). Great quality fresh ingredients, fast and friendly service. No-nonsense unfancy vibe with engineered stone tables and a airy high ceiling. #12 - Chicken Pho (Chicken Noodle Soup ) Light healthy broth, but just a tiny tad light on the quantity of cage free chicken this time. That said, what was there was delightful, tender and juicy. Noodles on point thin and slurpy! This humungous bowl is served with a side of minced ginger & salt aioli, and the usual side of fresh bean sprouts, freshly cut mint leaves and jalapenos,. Except for a light helping of the sprouts, I dunk the rest of it into the soup. The result is just delightful on a cold winter's night anytime out here in the not-so-sunny Sunset District. (4.4/5) PRO TIP - Be SURE to dab in some of that minced ginger & salt aioli in with your chicken. YUM!!! #23 - Five Spice Chicken Noodle Soup: For a dollar more than the Chicken Pho, you get a lot more chicken - roasted dark meat with a crispy skin. Sublty seasoned and good in soup. but then, I kinda like the flavoring of the #12 Chicken Pho a little bit better, but here, the meat lovers might be more satisfied. (4.7/5) #3 - Grilled Pork Spring Rolls: it says 2 pieces on the menu, but here you really get 4 sections - quite enough for 2-3 people. very crunchy lettuce inside with a bit of vermicelli and a good amount of grilled pork. Yummy, and a healthier alternative to the usual deep fried imperial rolls, which I haven't yet tried here. (4.8/5) Verdict: Great place to come for Chicken Pho, and the sides aren't bad either. We like it!

    Solid Vietnamese spot! We were actually planning to eat at Mama Mu's Bistro next door, but they weren't open at opening time so we headed over to Pho Ga instead and I'm so glad we did. Everything was good - the imperial rolls were crispy, the pho was hot & perfect for a cold day, and the five spice chicken with garlic noodles was tasty. Service was very friendly and quick. I'm happy we wandered in!

    Ended up here on a rainy day when the original place we were headed ended up being closed. I'm so glad we did. Ordered the five spice chicken noodle soup and the pho with rare beef and brisket. The broth was incredibly flavorful and the soup was packed with meat and noodles. Service was quick and the interior had plenty of tables. Will definitely be coming back!

    Kind and attentive staff! Cute and relaxed interior, cozy place to be in after being out in fog/wind thats fs. Good chicken noodle soup, the chicken was very good dipped in their ginger-oil sauce- it was my first time seeing shredded-ginger sauce offered for a soup dish and i enjoyed it! noodles were perfect. broth was a bit salty for my taste but still yummy and comforting. i'd go back again when in the area and try their other dishes :-)

    Eaten at Pho Ga long time ago when they first opened. Actually this is a very good neighborhood Vietnamese place. It's cute, cozy and clean inside. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced. The broth is favorable and lots of noodle and a dish of the vegetables to throw in the broth. The five spice chicken was also very tasty and good. Service was great and we were able to sit and talk and not rushed out, but we kept an eye on the customers coming in, just in case they needed our table. While we were there they had a lot of call-in take out orders to go. Great service, good food, decent prices. I will be back and want to try their other entrees.

    Cute cozy and clean inside. Friendly service. We got five spice chicken pho, shrimp garlic noodles, imperial rolls and red bean ice, and everything was really tasty. The portions are generous with reasonable prices. We'll be back.

    I've been here two times now, and their pho ga is solid. It's perfect on a cold day or when you're feeling a little under the weather. I ordered the pho ga both times. It's a simple dish with noodles, chicken, and garnishing. It's simple but delicious. The broth has good flavor (not bland at all). The chicken is tender and you get a good amount. All in all, I would come back whenever I'm craving pho ga.

    PHO GA on Noriega & 20th Avenue in the Outer Sunset was a quaint little place to drop into for a quick bite while running errands. Interior is light, bright and inviting. Greeted immediately stepping inside. Seating was plentiful since I had missed the lunch hour. I was fixated on pork chops for some reason so that's what I ordered! Hours: 10:30AM-8PM Everyday FRESH SPRING ROLLS w/shrimp, peanut dipping sauce. My go-to fav to order. Added some Siracha to the peanut sauce and it was gold! COMBO PORK CHOPS w/fresh steamed rice, Imperial roll, little green salad, fried egg, nuoc Cham dipping sauce. This was the perfect, flavorful, filling plate that hit the spot! Could use a little more char on the pork chops but that's it! Total yum! I'd come back to PHO GA again to have their namesake pho! Once I was happily chomping through my awesome pork chop combo, Noticed that a majority of diners were noshing on pho! Lol. See you there!

    Ordered takeout on Sat evening and there were a couple tables available. They had my order ready, the chicken pho is the highlight here with their tasty scallion ginger oil to pair the tender chicken with. It's a fast casual spot with quick Chinese service so don't expect much here.

    pork wasn't as tender as I'd like but the garlic noodles were so yummy and the roll was good as well. came with a group of 8 and they combined tables for us. would come again if I was in the area.

    This place is amazing! The woman who took my to-go order was so sweet over the phone. Food was ready when I arrived, she was super sweet in person too. The pho was delicious! And the portions are big!! We also ordered the five spice chicken with garlic noodles. YUM!! The place is very clean, and inviting!

    I tried to call you but there is no way to do so. Got an order dropped off tonight at our building but none of the neighbors ordered it so it was a clear error. No address on the bag. I hope you can refund whoever is looking for it?

    Can you clarify who owns and runs this? Is it Vietnamese? Chinese?

    most of them, are chinese speakers. i cannot verify if they are vietnamese/ viet-chinese as well, just because most vietnamese speakers can also speak cantonese in sf.

It was busy and people in line when we arrived and the restaurant is not opened yet. We missed the first seating as It only have 11 seats in the restaurant with some are bar style seat.

Once you are find a seat, you can order from the touch screen ordering The menu is simple , first you can choose hot or cold soba, and for tenzaru and tenkake set you choose either tempura or kaikage. There is also other lr soba choices. For small bites it has chicken tenders, braised pork, and and mochi for dessert. We ordered tenzaru and tenkske with shrimp kaikage. We also ordered kakesoba, chicken tender and mochi. Both cold and hot soba are unique and yummy. I like soba texture and yhe broth cold and hot are yummy. The kaikage is unique as it is a bit chewy. The chicken tender is ok. Mochi is yummy. Looks like one of the worker is the owner and he was friendly. Overall it was a good lunch. You have to be patient if you want to have a meal here.

I was by myself and wanted to have a quick eat. This place has unique ramen so I decided to come again (also SF/bay area only in the US). Since I was alone, I got to skip the line and only waited 15 minutes. The ramen was great. I would love to come again and try new one. Their duck chashu is SO GOOD. A little salty but works great as a whole. I respect the kitchen and servers because it's so busy and they are very efficient.

    We visited Mensho Tokyo SF for our Mother's Day celebration after hearing so many great things…read moreabout the ramen, and we were genuinely excited to try it for the first time. We were a large group of 15, including several kids, and we completely understand that the restaurant is small and accommodating a group our size can be challenging. We waited in line for almost an hour with around 6 children. During the wait, a staff member named Sue came outside, asked how many people were in our group, and handed us menus. Since it was our first visit, we were naturally asking questions and trying to understand the menu. Unfortunately, throughout the interaction, her body language and expressions felt impatient and unwelcoming. There was visible frustration and eye-rolling, which made us feel uncomfortable rather than welcomed. Even after we were seated, the experience continued to feel tense. One of the toddlers in our group started crying briefly -- something fairly common with young children -- and we were told to "keep it low out of respect." While we absolutely respect other diners, the way it was communicated felt lacking in empathy, especially on a busy Mother's Day with families dining out. A small gesture of kindness or understanding could have gone a long way. Instead, my friend felt compelled to take the child outside, which was disappointing. Additionally, after being seated, we had to remind the staff multiple times to come take our orders. What makes this especially unfortunate is that the ramen itself was truly delicious and lived up to the hype. The food was excellent, which is why this experience was so disappointing overall. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customer service and hospitality matter just as much as the food experience. Unfortunately, this was not the ideal way to end our Mother's Day celebration.

I've been to plenty of Japanese/Ramen spots and I've been running into the issue where I say I have a soy allegry and there is an assumption that I have a gluten issue (I do not have a gluten issue). I noticed yelp said they have soy-free options and thus called on Friday thinking it might be a bad idea as they're usually busy.. It was defintely hard for the person to hear a bit when they picked up. The staff did relay something about gluten free noodles.. Anyways, they said they could swap out any of the soy soups for salt (but soy can encompass a lot of things so I still wasn't feeling super confident but we're going to give it a go). We go and I asked which 4 of the soups I was eyeballing don't have soy - the staff said they can accomodate and replace any of the soy soups with a salt broth. After we ordered, the staff came back and checked in to make sure that my partner also didn't have an allergy. And my dish came out, they told me there was no egg as its marinated in soy - perfect to me. I'm glad that was caught as not every establishments can account for everything. - Now I have a spot to (more safely) eat ramen! - I advise that if you do have an food allergy, do talk to the staff, and address your concerns such as cross contamination etc. I had a great experience, but I do find that because its not so regulated or understood and there is lack of education amongst the food/resturant industry - you always need to advocate for yourself and there is always a risk.

We ordered the lowest level of spiciness and while there was still a kick, it was extremely manageable.

Once we got seated, they were pretty prompt to give us utensils, napkins, cups, and water. The two of us shared the Braise Beef Galbi Stew. It's more than enough for 2 people to go home in food comas (with some food remaining) and for 3 to be sufficiently full. If you have big eaters, order an app alongside if you have 3 people. The Galbi stew was exceptional. I liked that they had various levels of spiciness. We went with spicy and it had a nice kick that elevated the dish for me. The beef was very tender and flavorful and the veggies and rice cakes soaked up all the juices. And the cheese was so stretchy! I'd actually rank this place slightly above Daeho given the shorter wait, the quality, and the price. I'll be back for sure.
