Tried the Pho #4 with Raw Steak & Flank Steak and Honey Walnut Prawns w/ fried rice. Honey walnut prawns were battered and fried crispy; mayo sauce was slightly sweet in flavor with a hint of lemon. Upgraded to Fried rice for extra $4. Fried rice was good with smoky toasted flavor; would have been better if they added meat in the fried rice. The pho broth was pretty standard. It doesn't have any distinct noticeable difference from other phoa I've had. They give good amount of meat and noodles. The bowl was pretty big so pricewise it's reasonable but flavor needs to catch up. Spacious dining room. Not too long of a wait for the food.

The pho here was really good and close to all of the casinos so you don't have to travel far. The service was A++++ and I would come back for how kind and attentive they were. The broth was good I was just missing the spice. I wish their chilli oil was spicier. Especially after a really long night of gambling and drinking. Pho is fire. And next time I'll try other items.

I walked in and it smells just like my mother-in-law's house! My MIL is Vietnamese and she cooks amazing food and this restaurant smells exactly like her kitchen, her home. I heard great things about this place, and actually a good friend of ours happens to know the owner, so finally we went here to confirm people's positive experience. We ordered the egg roll and salt and pepper chicken for appetizers. Their eggroll was so delicious. It was crispy, had loads of wood ear fungus (my favorite), vermicelli noodles and so much more! Their salt and pepper chicken was so bomb because the chicken was meaty, juicy, and breading was on point. I ordered the rare steak pho and you can tell they cooked their broth to perfection. It reminded of how I cook my pho actually and how my MIL cooks her. It really tastes like they didn't take the shortcut by using phở powder. I really enjoyed their pho and will have to try more when we come back here. My husband ordered his favorite dish bún bò hue, and had me try his and tasted very good too. The only thing he commented on his was that they overcooked the noodles for it was too soft. My MIL order chicken phở and she loved it. Overall SF Kitchen gave us an authentic feel. Their service was very welcoming and quick. We also loved how the setting felt, simple and "homey". So if you haven't tried this place and you're reading this, GO!

I always add a little Hoison sauce to my Pho, but honestly, it didn't need it.

First time checking out SF Kitchen here in Reno just off of the freeway at Mill St and Kietzke. They're said to serve both Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine. Let's check it out! Of course I had to try the Pho! I'm a sucker for a good Pho. So first--the restaurant was just what you would expect. A spacious dining area, wooden tables and chairs. Nothing too fancy. A chill ambiance, not too much for decor, but I didn't come there to stare at walls, I came to grub! Lol My buddy Yasir and I would grab seat in the back and chat and we'd both order a combination bowl with Flank and Rare steak. Verdict? Fast and friendly service, a steaming hot bowl of Pho with a delicious broth. I wish for more protein in this bowl please! Places like this always seem to serve you more noodles than meats, but I digress. The broth was killer and that order if spring rolls we got with that favorful pork and it's marinade... Mmm! Overall a traditional Vietnamese dining experience. How does it rank against places like Pho 999 or even an SK Noodle? There could be some friendly competition there, but all in all, I love how some restaurants strive to make slight deviations and distinctions in their dishes that set them apart. SF Kitchen does it. I'll come back and try one of their entree with the Mrs and give you a other review should you be on the fence. The Pho alone I think should make you curious. It's all about the broth! And service of course.

A Reno Gem: If you haven't been to SF Kitchen yet, you are seriously missing out. This place is an absolute standout in Reno's food scene. I LOVE IT HERE! The Food The food here is beyond delicious--every dish we tried was bursting with fresh, authentic flavor. The Pho is absolutely amazing and I've tried so many spots in town, and I can confidently say this is the best Pho in Reno I've had. The broth is rich, aromatic, and has that perfect depth of flavor that you only get from a kitchen that truly knows what they're doing. The Service & Staff It's not just about the food, though. The people who work here are wonderful. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuine warmth. Fiona is an absolute gem . The service is fast, attentive, and the staff really goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. You can tell the team here actually cares about their customers. A Note on Large Parties For transparency: they do charge a set tip for large parties. Honestly, this is a completely normal practice at almost any reputable restaurant to ensure the servers are fairly compensated for the extra work that goes into managing a big group. To be frank, leaving a bad review specifically because of a standard large-party gratuity says a lot more about the person leaving the review than it does about the business. This is also a small family owned business serving FRESH authentic food. Which means sometimes the food might take longer to get to you on busy days, say like Christmas or New Years when they are slammed packed BUT it's always worth the wait! I've been coming here for years and years and years. The owners care deeply about each and every one of their customers and employees. They make you feel like family and it feels like home You can't find that much anywhere anymore. Bottom line: If you want incredible food, top-tier service, and the best bowl of Pho in the city, go to SF Kitchen. You won't regret it!

Pork fried rice with sweet & sour pork
Debra I.

Came to Reno for the weekend and were craving pho. After seeing the great reviews, we decided to give this place a try--and we're so glad we did! We ordered the rare beef & flank pho, the flank steak & oxtail pho, and my mom had the sweet & sour pork with pork fried rice, pot stickers, and egg flower soup. Everything was delicious--the pho broth was rich and flavorful, and the Chinese dishes were just as tasty. They easily accommodated our party of 10, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was family-friendly. We've found our new favorite spot in Reno and will definitely be back!

This is our GO TO PHO-SPOT when we stay at GSR. It's like a 4 minute drive, super fast and hella good flavor. They got Chinese entrees too, if you have picky kids that don't eat soup. HEADS UP! The liquor store next door sells hella expired stuff, be careful. Alotta different "Rhino pills" too, if you're into that.

Solid place for Viet foodfare. Good pho, Vermicilli and bbq pork/beef. Convenient location (for me anyway). Clean establishment and food came out fast. Not perfect 5 stars as while good it is also not exceptional. The pricing is on the slightly high side.

Sizzling Pork Short Ribs
Zach L.

This is one of our go-to stop because of the delicious food and vegetarian/vegan options. Today I got the special, Sizzling pork short ribs and it was just as delicious as everything else I've had. Every server we have had there has been incredibly kind in this cute little restaurant.

Honey garlic chicken lunch special
Jocelyn R.

Love the ambiance in there and the customer service is always on point! Very friendly and quick service. The food is always delicious no matter what I order, but their lunch special honey garlic shrimp is my favorite! Was a little bummed this time around as I ordered the shrimp and got chicken instead. They offered to remake it but I have a short lunch and couldn't wait.

My friend and I were looking up restaurants to eat at after a day at Northstar, and came across SF Kitchen, one of the only Vietnamese/Chinese places in the area. It's quite unassuming, and looks a bit plain on the inside, but the food is great! The extra large size of their pho bowls has a ton of noodles and meat, and taste exactly as you would like it to be. The servers were nice and informative, and if you're craving some pho, it's a spot to consider!

General Chicken Lunch Special
Greg C.

First time here. Today is Friday at 12:30. Lots of parking. The restaurant is large and clean. Lots of customers so this is a good sign! I had the General Chicken lunch special that come with Fried Rice and a cup of house soup. My Brother in-law had Lemon Chicken lunch special, and my wife had Chow fun noodles with Chicken in a br The food was served fairly gas and was delicious. I bookmarked this place and we will definitely return on an

Are there any delivery options?

i think they are through postmates

Do they serve FRIED Imperial rolls? The difference between Imperial rolls and egg rolls is the wrapper. Imperial rolls are wrapped in rice flour wrappers. Egg rolls (Chinese style) are wrapped in wheat flour wrappers. Both are deep fried.

spring rolls do not have to be deep fried. As far as the wrappers go you are correct. and yes they serve both.

If you are reading this review, it is because you already like Phò. I love Phò, and have been…read moreeating it for over 30 years in lots of restaurants in Portland Oregon, San Francisco, California, Garden Grove, all over San Diego. I think the Phò at 999 Pho is excellent. The broth is rich and complex, the cuts of meat we had were excellent quality, thinly sliced and fresh. The basil, bean sprouts and jalapeños were fresh and plentiful. The noodles were standard for Phò. The prices were reasonable, the service was attentive. The atmosphere was average. This is not fancy dining, but it is not expected to be. My wife and I will definitely eat here every time we visit Reno.

Last time we were at their old location. Since then they moved to this new location. Much more…read moremodern and clean. I actually didn't put two and two together until I wrote this review and realized I'm consistent in my rating with giving the 4 stars. 999 Pho is 10 minutes away from Reno airport. They have a variety of items from rice to pho to chow mein to rice noodles to sandwiches. We ordered: Ox tail pho ($18) - came with a few small ox tails. The broth was clean and sweet. Dice beef filet mignon ($18) - came w rice and veggies. Seasoning was alright, could be more aromatic and bold, as well as tender texture. Keep in mind that take out orders under steam rice/broken rice is an additional $0.50 charge. Our table also order spring rolls and stir fried rice noodles. She meant to order chow mein but pointed to the photo so it came out with the flat rice noodles. Last time we were at their old location. Since then they moved to this new location.

Love the selection and variety of food. We ordered the pho combo, banh xeo, shrimp with lobster…read moresauce and rainbow roll to go and a boba drink for the kids. I'm giving a 4/10 for the pho combo, the broth wasn't flavorful and it was cloudy but the noodles and meats were fine. I don't really like adding hosin sauce to my broth but I had too. The banh xeo I'm giving a 6/10 because the it wasn't crispy but the meats was good and it was large. It came with lettuce and herbs. Shrimp and lobster sauce was good that was 8/10. The rainbow roll was 7.5/10.

It was late, and I didn't want to go out, and so I decided to do a DoorDash. The food came quickly,…read moreand it was still very hot. There was a lot of food. The bag was heavy. The menu is humongous. Dim sum, Chinese, sushi, Vietnamese, with lots of choices from every part of the menu. I started with the crab Rangoon's, and they were very good. The filling was a little bit sweet, and a little bit savory, and the shell was well fried, crispy, and not oily at all. They were offering a BOGO on the combination plate, and so that's what I went for. I had the garlic chicken, and the chicken with seasonal. Veggies. On both dishes, the chicken was moist and tender. The veggies were done well. Just the right consistency, not mushy at all. The taste was great. The only thing I could say, was, the garlic chicken was a bit spicy. About medium on what I like for spice, you could definitely see the red pepper flakes on that food. Unfortunately, nowhere in the menu did it mention the spicy part of it. I did like it, and the spice was within what I like, but I think the next time I would order something else. The fried rice was very well done with a good flavor also. It was just the rice. It had no egg or veggies in it. I had enough for two meals on the first combo, and the second one went into my portable cooler, and is going home to Sacramento with me. For all I got, the price was extremely reasonable, even if I would've gotten only one combination. Thank you very much.
