    This was just ok: Beef Pho The beef pho was pretty meh. The broth had some flavor and the beef was fine, but nothing really stood out. The noodles were also a little chewier than I'm used to. Overall, it was just a very average bowl of pho, which was disappointing. Service was fine. They were courteous with the greens and gave us plenty, but that was about the only thing that stood out. I personally wouldn't come back for the pho. The restaurant itself is medium-sized with enough tables and chairs to accommodate a decent crowd. Nothing particularly memorable about the space. I really wish I had ordered something else because the pho just didn't do it for me. #goodeats

    SF old timer that I am, I always associate this address with Fringale, the longtime, well regarded French bistro that closed its doors six years ago. I had it bookmarked but never did make it, so here I was on a breezy weekday afternoon trying its new identity as a moderately priced Vietnamese restaurant. Price-wise, it's a grade level above similar eateries in Little Saigon. I was making my way to Chase Center for a Valkyries game, so this looked like an apt spot for a pregame nosh. The place was empty in the late afternoon, and kudos to the proprietor for remaining open between lunch and dinner. There was no hesitation in serving me, which I appreciated. Feeling hungry for something substantial, I ordered the $25 Garlic Noodles with Duck Breast and Grilled Pork (Photo 8). Stir-fried in olive oil, it came with a mixed side salad and a cup of their housemade chicken bone broth (Photo 6). The dish was tasty, though the combination of fat and carbs was probably not the healthiest indulgence I could have had. For my nutritional benefit, I could probably go for the fresh spring rolls or the vegetarian pho. The menu offered many temptations for the next visit. FOOD - 4 stars...plenty of garlic and oil in their noodles AMBIANCE - 4 stars...quietly reserved in the afternoon, no trace of Fringale SERVICE - 4 stars...quietly effective TOTAL - 4 stars...stylish Vietnamese RELATED - Exploring western SoMa?

    "IT'S A BIRD!" "NO, IT'S A PLANE!" "IT'S QUE VIET!" No Superman here, but let me be your hero for a second because I'm about to put you on to, hands down, **the best Vietnamese food I've ever had**. I actually discovered Que Viet through DoorDash and had everything delivered. I ordered the Deep-Fried Imperial Rolls (Cha Gio), Grilled Chicken & Chicken Imperial Roll Garlic Noodles (Mi Top Ga Nuong Cha Gio Ga), Grilled Pork Sausage Rolls (Nem Cuon), Vietnamese Shrimp Mini Crepes (Banh Xeo Tom), and the Grilled Pork Sausage & Sliced Pork Woven Vermicelli (Banh Hoi Nem & Thit Nuong). Yes... I spent almost **$100 for two people**. Looking back at the receipt, I had to ask myself, *"Is this place expensive, or am I just fat?"* Honestly... probably a little of both. Either way, it was one of the best $100 I've ever spent. If it's your first time ordering from Que Viet, do yourself a favor and get the **garlic noodles**. I know garlic noodles are everywhere these days, but these completely changed my expectations. They were perfectly cooked with an incredible bounce, packed with rich garlicky flavor, and the portion size was generous enough for leftovers (if you have the self-control). I also tried the **Banh Hoi Nem & Thit Nuong** for the first time, and it did not disappoint. One heads-up, though: it's generously topped with crushed peanuts. My friend has a peanut allergy, so thankfully we caught it before digging in. If you have any nut allergies, be sure to mention it when ordering. Every single dish arrived fresh, flavorful, and tasted like it had just come out of the kitchen despite being delivered. That's not something you can say about many places. If you ever find yourself in the city, you **need** to make a stop at Que Viet. This place has been living rent-free in my head ever since, and I already know I'll be back the next chance I get.

    Well I thought I had more photos. That's no problem though because I'm here so often I'll just snap more to update yall! Wonderful people that work here and so cool. I've been coming here for a couple years now. It's my go to spot when coming home from work and getting of Caltrain. The beef pho and deep friend imperial rolls are my go to. The broth of the pho is delicious and the meat portion in the soup is so generous. I love the imperial rolls and the texture. Perfection! It's nice inside the restaurant especially on a rainy day. There's just something so homey about this place. It's so welcoming g and warm.

    Popped by for lunch on a weekday. We ordered 2 bowls of pho and their do-it-yourself wrap platter. Everything was tasty and service was friendly. The wrap platter was fun but not worth $25 in my opinion. We opted for their signature beef and tiger prawn platter which came with literally 3 prawns. Despite a very unassuming entrance, the interior is actually quite clean and comfortable. Lots of tables and service is friendly.

    Spicy Beef Pho / Bun Bo Hue

    I always love when Vietnamese restaurants offer Bun Bo Hue! I asked for less spicy, and it was perfect. Both plates were delicious. The place is very cute and busy. Would love to try their woven vermicelli next.

    Banh Xeo with pork
    Jamee S.

    Quaint restaurant on 4th Street. Menu was simple with many protein options. Service was quick and efficient. For appetizer, we had the Banh Xeo (or Vietnamese crepe) with pork. I love this! It's flavorful and delicious. I could eat this as my entree and be perfectly happy! I wish they gave 4 leaves of lettuce. For dinner, we had: Garlic Noodles with Sea Bass Fillet & Grilled Pork - pretty good. I was hoping the noodles would be more garlicky. Tiger Shrimp Bun (Vermicelli Bowl) - also pretty good. Garlic Noodles with Chicken Pho Overall it was pretty good.

    Chicken Pho / Pho Ga
    Jed O.

    Cozy restaurant vibe that did not have a very loud ambience. Kind staff as well who checked in frequently. 5/5 - Garlic noodles with chicken. An absolute must order! The chicken was cooked very well. Tender and juicy. Garlic noodles were cooked al dente and perfectly seasoned. The two stars of this dish complement each other well. The pickled veggies paired with the dish also provide a refreshing bite of flavor that contrasts the warmth of the garlic noodles and chicken. I highly recommend trying this dish if you haven't done so! 3/5 - Pho with chicken. The chicken was lackluster in this dish, mainly due to its dryness.The broth alone still tasted very good in terms of savoryness and seasoning. It was a bit of a harder finish for us but I would recommend trying their beef with their pho.

    One of the few places in SF that have Banh Hoi on their menu so friend and I decided on Que Viet. We came by on a weekday dinner around 5:30pm and it was pretty empty but felt cozy and peaceful with the calm Viet music playing in the background. Service was quick We got the woven vermicelli as well as the appetizer sampler. Appetizer sampler came with 2 of each item which was perfect for us to share and split. None of the apps stood out significantly but at least the Banh Hoi satisfied our craving. The beef wrapped within the leaves were flavorful and juicy, pairing with vermicelli, lettuce and herbs helped balance out the flavors. We loved that everything was fresh and portion was decent for the price! Throughout our meal there was a fly that kept staying around our food though so that was a little annoying.

    house special platter
    Jade L.

    I've stopped by here three times, but this is the first time I got the food and dined in. The first two times I just picked up passionfruit tea to go. Naturally, I was curious to try the foods, so I came after working out. I didn't eat much during the day, so I was hungryyy. Luckily, the foods were up to standard. The house special assorted platter of traditional Viet foods was super tasty, and the beef banh hoi was pretty solid, although I wish the beef had a bit more flavor. It def relied on the fish sauce to carry it. Overall quite good though and glad I finally got to check it out and have the full in person experience.

    Grilled Pork Sausage & Sliced Pork Woven Vermicelli / Banh Hoi Nem & Thit Nuong. (Order this)
    Rudy H.

    I like this place. The ambiance is homey and cozy, friendly and food were delicious. It's a Viet Chinese owned restaurant and the menu is pretty large. I've had the "Banh Hoi" Woven Vermicelli. With pork sausage & grilled pork. And Ribeye Pho. The pho was decent, it was dark broth on the sweet side with taste of star anise and cinnamon. Ribeye were fresh and served on the side so it's entirely up to you whether you prefer to dip the rare ribeye on sriracha and hoisin separately (like me) or you like to mix and add the meat to the broth or maybe just swish swish (the sound and action of rapidly cooking the meat in the pot for 10-30 seconds before dipping it into savory sauces). However I highly recommend their woven vermicelli dishes. It's fun, you make your own wraps with the rice paper, dip in water, add meats vegetables and sauce and roll. Very fresh and fun. It' s a good neighborhood restaurant that serves Vietnamese comfort food at affordable prices.

    Grilled pork garlic noodles
    Billy T.

    Super quick and service is very attentive, and affordable sit down right off the MUNI coming from downtown SF! Stumbled upon this place on a night out; parking is relatively easy on a Sunday with the streets being mostly clear. Que Viet offers your typical vermicelli bowls, pho, and even bun Bo hue (spicey noodle soup but please dont go here for that!) Restaurant space is very clean and well kept with some peaceful Vietnamese music strumming in the background. On to the foodie review! Grilled Pork Garlic Noodles Super filling portions coupled with a side of pho broth to pallete cleanse! Asian garlic noodles aren't your typical beat around the bush noods!! Full of umami, sweet, buttery and more-than-5 cloves of garlic goodness! Bun Bo Hue (not pictured) My friend ordered this and I got a sample of it!.... It's a short cut spicey pho broth. A true bun Bo hue has a subtle lemon grass sweetness paired with rock sugar as a base. Great dish if it was labeled as a spicey pho instead. Imperial rolls Deep fried to perfection I just wished it was worth its price point! ($12 for 3 full rolls) unfortunately they were out of pork for our visit so we had to opt for chicken and it was still as flavorful.

    Chicken Pho / Pho Ga
    Lisa M.

    I came across Que Viet while exploring the city on a chilly day, perfect pho weather. The restaurant is cute, cozy, and filled with natural light from all the windows. On my first visit, I ordered the spring rolls with shrimp and the chicken pho. I love how they use the thicker noodles, and the chicken broth was very flavorful. I went back again to try the beef tartare and the shrimp pho. The broth isn't really like traditional pho, but it's still very tasty. My only complaint is that both times the herb and green onion portions were a bit skimpy, and I had to ask for extra. Overall, I would definitely eat here again

    I have a seafood allergy. What is the broth and do you marinate your meats in fish sauce? Is there anything that someone with a seafood allergy cannot eat? Thank you in advance

    Hi Stephanie - we have vegetarian options that won’t include fish sauce

    Can I order from the dinner menu during lunch?

    Hi Nancy-yes you can. We now have all day dinner menu so you can order from the dinner menu during lunch. Thanks for reaching out & asking question. Hope seeing you soon!

    Do you still offer Grilled Whole Catfish?

    Hi Johnny-currently we do not offer Grilled Whole Catfish. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    How long do they cook the pho broth for?

    Hi Katy- it is over 24 hours

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.

We ordered the Hot Yuzu Scented Niku Soba ($25) & the Tenzaru Kakigage ($28) which were both delicious. The hot soba came with onsen tamago which was rich in flavor. The Tenzaru Kakigage came with cold soba, crispy deep fried veggies, and dipping sauce. The restaurant is small & you have to order before picking a seat. I would not recommend bringing a big group. Ordering food is through a self serve tablet and you pick up your food at the counter when your number is called. They offer soba-yu for after you're done with your meal that is meant to be added to your dipping sauce and consumed as a broth.

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.
