Everything very good...Maybe prices were a bit steep but otherwise good food, good quality, and very friendly service. One piece of feedback that I want to give is when the staff were clearing tables after the customers left, it was very noisy. It takes away from the peaceful ambience of the restaurant. Just a friendly suggestion from a customer: clear the tables more quietly. It was pretty loud and happened every time a table was cleared. Nevertheless, five stars for this one. Thanks guys. read more

With so many Pho places that are better and worse this is a solid c+. Nothing amazing, nothing really authentic, it's like fast food Pho with really slow service. Beef Vermicelli plate with eggroll and seafood noodle soup for here. I felt that everything tasted average like I said. Nothing stood out, the broth itself wasn't remarkably outstanding and neither was my dry beef noodles. Eggroll was just average again. Nothing spectacular. If you realy want Pho and are on this block then this is a solid 3 stars. read more

So Pho So Good - Rat!! - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

The food was pretty good here! We tried noodle salads and cahn chua, which were good portions and flavorful. The ac was blasting on a mildly warm day, making it pretty cold. But i guess its good for ordering pho? Our server didn't speak any English and kept speaking to us in chinese even after he was aware that we didn't speak it, which made things difficult. Overall a decent experience-- the food was not standout amazing but maybe would come back to try more of the menu. read more

Hang Out Spot with some big changes to their walls (minus the Bar-turned takeout counter). I went here by myself today after finding out Noriega Star Restaurant closes early now (at 5.) Pho Ga restaurant down the street kinda sucked, so why not try here? Ambiance is kinda chill, it's this one no nonsense waiter/cashier running the whole thing on a Friday night. Price: average $15-$16 for pho. I've seen more expensive. Decor on the front and that mural that used to have chan can teng replaced with Viet Stuff. Service is super fast (you sit down, the guy is okay with you figuring out what to get), then the food comes out in under 5 minutes, so does the authentic dripping hot vier coffee. Brewed tableside. Bun bo Hue- Main attraction- lacks the signature spice but has those lemongrass notes and generous meat portions So pho... Not bad! I'll come back with more people to try the rest of their offerings! read more

Bought a Half Hai Nam chicken to-go tonight. Hard to tell if full half chicken or chicken is that small. To me, the top and bottom of the piece of the breast is missing, not sure if cut of neatness. Was 2-star, added back one star for taste. $15.5 plus tax. read more

So Pho So Good - Bought a to-go half Hai Han Chicken tonight. Hard to tell if real half chicken. - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a cash-only spot, but was a great place to come by for a quick and relatively cheap lunch if you can find parking nearby. I came with my mom and grandma and we ordered everything to share. We got the banh xeo, bo kho, lemongrass beef with rice paper wraps, and grilled pork. The food came pretty quickly, and we all started with the pho bo kho. The stewed beef pieces were so tender and packed full of flavor. The soup was savory and rich, with a nice tomatoey tang. I definitely liked this dish the most. The banh xeo was huge, and came with mint, lettuce, lightly pickled carrots, and fish sauce. The banh xeo was packed full with pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts. I enjoyed wrapping this up with lettuce and dipping it into the fish sauce. All the veggies were fresh and balanced out the meat well. The beef and pork were just okay to me, they were a bit dry for my taste but were good in a rice paper wrap dipped into the fish sauce. Service was quick and prompt, nothing to complain about here. I'm not sure if I'd come again if I was in the area, there are many other food options on Noriega. read more

3.5 /5 I was in town for business and met with an old friend for lunch. He said he had heard this place was pretty good, so we came here for lunch around 2:30. This place was near empty, just a couple of solo diners. It felt spacious with its high ceilings and there are some artwork on the walls to give the place some character. My friend ordered chicken noodle soup, which I assume is pho with chicken. I tried their garlic noodles with bbq chicken. The food came out fairly quickly and was served nice and hot. Besides the noticeable garlic flavor, it was a bit salty for my palate. My friend said his pho was good but nothing to boast about. We both ordered Vietnamese coffee, the slow drip kind and not the premixed, and it was potent. I love strong coffee and this was one of the boldest ones I've had and gave me the jolt to keep me going. The owner was friendly when I engaged her in a conversation, and there seemed to be a few to go orders while we were dining there. It's not a bad place to try out if you're in the area. They have a pretty extensive menu, so there are many items to choose from, and the prices are fair for the Sunset area. read more

Came with two friends for lunch on a Saturday. My friend was there first and there was a tall glass pitcher of hot tea. Not sure if that was complimentary but the waitress refilled it several times so very nice. My friends got a sandwich and a pork chop combo.

I went here with some friends on a Wednesday evening around 6:00 PM and it was completely empty so we got to choose where we wanted to sit and it was fairly quiet the entire time (only a couple of other parties came in while we were there). There was plenty of seating, and parking was easy to find outside. They let us know they only took cash, Venmo, or Zelle, so be prepared. The waitstaff were friendly and accommodating to requests. My friend asked if they did XL sizes of other soups (not just the PH1 Combo Beef) and they were happy to oblige! The food came out pretty fast! I ordered the PH5 (Pho Tai Nam) and it was fairly solid, nothing overly extraordinary. My friend who showed us this place reordered the NS6 Tomato Crabpaste Noodle Soup and said it was good. My other friend got their potstickers which fell flat and didn't have a lot of flavor. He also got the BD4 BBQ Chicken w/ Rice and though the portion was small, he said it was pretty good. Overall, decent Vietnamese food for a cold day. read more

Is the pho so good that you can overlook lackluster service? Nah, more like so-so, especially if you're in Phoville where you can find a pho house as far as you can throw a beef ball. I just had the beef rib pho at both Viet Quan on Taraval and Pho Recipe two doors down from this place. But fat chance that they offered it here even though I realize it's more about the broth. No, I settled on the $14.50 Duck Leg Noodle Soup (Bun Mang Vit), which narrowly beat the marginally less tempting Pork Chop and Meat Loaf Noodle Soups. It was decent enough though the duck skin left a pool of oily residue on the surface of the broth. It didn't give the limp rice noodles a fighting chance (photo: https://bit.ly/3OSax0f). So Pho So Good? So What. FOOD - 3 stars...middling pho even with duck meat AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...fairly spacious for a pho house SERVICE - 2.5 stars...wasn't feeling the love here TOTAL - 3 stars...so not great, more so-so RELATED - Exploring the Sunset?

So far, so pho so good is good! We have ordered from them several times over the past year, and the taste was good! Also, the pieces of pork chop were gigantic! It was the size of the entire container! It was flavorful too. The taste of the tomato beef stew was also super rich! This is open for late dinner and there is plenty of parking on the block! The design and decor also reminds me of Asian dessert houses. read more

Be sure to bring some cash because this place only accepts cash or Venmo! I got the NS2 (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup). IMO, the noodles were great, flavor is good. But, the pork blood tastes very bland. The Shrimp Summer Rolls were refreshing, sauce on the side is very saucy. My partner and his friend ordered their regular beef pho. We all agreed that it tastes alright. They're not so fond of the pho's noodle. Lmk what you think! read more

Spacious, guess it used to be a hot pot place. Menu has wide selection. If I were them I'd cut it down to less to focus on. Took them a while to take our orders even tho it doesn't seem too busy but who knows maybe they have a ton of take outs to handle. Food was ok, I'd come back and try other stuff. Their imperial rolls were on point. Their banh cuon was kinda thick skinned but is soft. Comes with nuoc mam that's already spicy so if you don't want spicy tell them in advance. read more

The experience is defined by the name of the restaurant but may I digress. We went there for a weeknight dinner for 2. Waitress was very attentive and food are in large portions to share among friends and others. Ordered the PH1. Combo Beef Noodle Soup (Xtra-Large). Good pho style broth with lots of noodle to go with. We also ordered a chicken cabbage salad which was very tasty and I would definitely order again. Overall, if you are looking for a decent Vietnamese food without any bells or whistles, it's a place to be. Restaurant is nothing fancy. Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 read more

I have ordered takeout from this place a couple of times because they are one of the only Vietnamese places in the area that serve Banh Cuon. However, after several online orders from here, whether it is DoorDash or GrubHub, they end up "not getting my order" when I arrive to pick up my food in person. Why do you have yelp/grubhub, or DoorDash if you don't process any of your online orders? I receive the notifications that my order is confirmed and being prepared. I receive notifications that my food is ready to be picked up. Service is poorly ran when it comes to online orders, however the food is still good. I recommend calling to order over the phone or call to confirm they received your online order. read more

Really think it's a 3.5 star place, but rounded up; I don't like to give lower stars if I don't have to! I live really close to this place, but this was my first time visiting. The one item that brought me in was the banh cuon on their menu. It seems hard to find in a lot of restaurants, so when I saw it, I had to get it. The banh cuon was okay. I've had more flavorful ones at other places, but it was good enough to satisfy a craving. It was around $12 for 4 rolls with some fancy pork slices (4 or so half circles) and a small serving of vegetables. The nuoc cham (dipping sauce) that came with it was a bit on the too sweet side for me and not tart enough. Maybe I should try their pho next time! read more

I really love the name- so much that I was compelled to eat here because of it. Cash only! Street parking and local streets to park around. There were bathrooms in the back, didn't have a chance to go. Food was good! I had the vermicelli bowl with nem nuong and egg rolls- so tasty. The spring rolls were great- always a good sign for a pho place if they got their spring rolls on deck. Drinks - we saw this picture of the red bean with the vita soy and laughed, then we got it. It was really good! I got the guava soda, I was not disappointed!! They had a promo where if we spent over a certain amount- then there would be a free dessert. We got the tofu pudding and it was so tasty! Service was good and attentive. Def will be back, as it's close to some other fun eats and things to do! read more

We live nearby and it's the fist time we discovered this place today. I really liked it. We ordered the dry noddles, garlic nodded and an appetizer-crispy shrimp. They all tazaste good! Although the appetizer came at last, it didn't stop my from loving them. The garlic noodles and the dry noddles are for two different styles. If you like something fresh and light, go for the dry noddles, if you want the butterly taste, go with the garlic. I liked them both and will definitely come back to try more things. Also. This place is CASH only, or you can do Venmo. We did Venmo and the waitress had to call someone to verify the payment. If you come here, be aware. read more

A solid option for a cold day, the service is fairly quick - on par with most vietnamese restaurants, and the soup broth of the pho was flavorful. The noodle to meat ratio was also decent, and the portion size was favorable.

CASH ONLY!! ugh... wish I had known that prior to coming... We ordered: $14.95 Garlic shrimp noodles $14.50 Lemongrass chicken $16.95 Fried catfish $19.50 Bbq pork and eggroll vermicelli noodle wrap Casual dining with quick service and typical Vietnamese comforts. A lot of people order pho here but I wanted to eat something more substantial. Best dish was the bbq pork and egg vermicelli do-it-yourself wrap -- you can get about 5 wraps. The least flavorful was the catfish. Maybe you're supposed to dip in the nuoc cham but I think the pieces themselves should also have some sort of seasoning! Garlic noodles were standard but I felt the portions were small for $15. Lastly lemongrass chicken was very Thai-ish to me and that's not what I was expecting. Total bill $71.58 but not worth the price. All in all, I would not travel over here expecting anything great but if you need a meal and are in the area, why not. This section of Noriega has really become very dirty and deserted. Definitely in desperate need of makeover! read more

I really enjoyed the deep fried catfish that I tried. I haven't seen that on any other Vietnamese restaurants in SF. I would come back to try their other seafood dishes like the Viet mussels and clams look yummy from the pictures. The chicken pho and beef tomato stew noodles were both a bit too salty for our taste, since we didn't taste any tomato in the soup and didn't see any tomatoes either. Service was really good though and they gave us complimentary tea. There is also plenty of tables and a lot of space if you have a big group. read more

Ok, I went back and ordered stuff that other yelpers recommended. Also, a friend said their pho was good. So gave it another try. We got the pho dac biet, banh xeo, bo kho and clams. It was pretty darn good. Pho was solid and decent. Big portion. Banh xeo was nice and crispy. The beef and soup in the bo kho was tender and flavorful. The stir fried clams had a good wok flavor. Originally, waitress said they didn't have clams but then said the cook will go next door to the seafood market and buy them and cook them up. Will go back again. read more

Food was OK to good. We popped in for 2 bowls of pho. My seafood thin noodle pho broth initially tasted a little fishy. But likely due to the condiment they added in it beforehand. A big bowl of bean sprouts, Thai basil, lemon wedges and few slices jalapeño accompanied the soups. The seafood was mostly meatballs, couple shrimp, one of the processed fake crab slices, tofu slices. Hubby had the beef meatball and flank steak and thought it was good but thought it was pricey for the pho. Cost is $13.50 each. Floors kind of greasy and bathrooms too. CASH ONLY. A handwritten sign indicates cash only on the wall in the dining area. read more

Decent but not authentic. FOOD: *Banh Cuon ($11.95 Steamed Rice Rolls) - Four pieces of rice rolls and 5 slices of pork cake were served with a small salad and fish sauce. The wrapping on the rolls were on the thicker side and soft/soggy. I prefer my rice rolls on the chewy side so though there was a generous amount of filling, these weren't for me. *Imperial Rolls ($10.50, 3 pieces cut in thirds) - Good, crispy, and a tasty, pork filling. *Seafood Hu Tieu ($13.50) - The soup was good and the noodles were chewy but don't expect for your bowl to look like the picture. Toppings were scarce. Their menu is pretty extensive consisting of noodle soups, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes, noodle dishes, banh hoi wraps, claypots and more. Too extensive in my opinion for not being an authentic Vietnamese spot. Serving size is generous so expect to walk out full. We walked out with half our appetizers as leftovers. SERVICE: So let's start out with the obvious, they're not Vietnamese so don't try to order in Vietnamese. I had questions about what was in the seafood hu tieu and asked the guy who came over to take our order only spoke Chinese so he had to send someone else over to answer my questions. I was hangry I had we waited so long for everything. After ordering, it took close to 20 minutes to receive our first dish. Service feels almost non existent. They take your order, bring your food, then you spend time trying to flag them down. We left our cash on the table and after I walked out, the bf said the lady was waving us down checking if we paid. Check the table before you start assuming, lady. WHAT TO KNOW: *Cash or Venmo ONLY! *There are some vegetarian options *Metered street parking or residential a block away *Tables can be pushed together which makes it good for groups read more

Pretty decent Bun Bo Hue in San Francisco. Service a bit slow given the pandemic stsaff shortage..forgiveable but the staff very friendly and nice. Unfortunately, the restaurant kept most of the decor and dining set from the previous tenant, leasding us to question whether we were at the right place. Ordered a BUn Bo HUe which was flavorful, but not too spicy. They used actual shrimp paste to flavor the broth My guest had a rice porridge. Found it quite boring and flavorless hence giving it only 4 stars. For a pho spot it is pretty good and customers aeround us appeared to enjoy the food.

This restaurant has changed many times. Not sure what was wrong with hangout spot from before but I wanted to see how it was now. The servers are more or less the same and still has the same setup as before. I think it is not as popular as before. The menu is now geared towards Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered the bbq pork chop but felt that something was lacking in terms of authentic flavor. Maybe it was missing some lemongrass. The meat loaf was pretty huge and lacked refinement. I also got the spring rolls which is decent but 10$ is a lot. Overall I would say it is not worth a visit unless you want to see how the business is doing now. read more

Kiddo craving Coconut pudding so we had to return. They run out sometimes so our first question was asking if they had any and then requesting that a couple be put aside for after our meals. Our server was great. She chuckled and then said she would reserve a couple for us for after our lunch. This time I ordered the Hot and Sour Soup with catfish. So good! Really loved the flavor of the broth. Good amount of catfish and so soft. Bean sprouts also soak up the flavor of the broth. Will definitely order it again. Hubs and kiddos enjoyed their pho. We also ordered the egg rolls. Liked that it's made with the rice wrapper. Finished our meals with the coconut pudding. My fave part is the creamy top with the toasted coconut. Kiddos likes the bottom layer and then the coconut meat. Still only one server who runs around greeting everyone and taking orders. Hope they hire on more help. read more

This place is good! I've been here twice now and ordered the same thing: BBQ Chicken and Egg Roll Vermicelli. The BBQ chicken is tender and has a good flavor. They cook it with the skin on, and sometimes it can be a bit chewy, but it's good if you like that! The veggies are always fresh and they always give a TON of noodles. My favorite part of the dish are the egg rolls. They are perfectly fried and the meat filling is so tasty. They are BIG egg rolls, too. Because of the big portions, you may need to ask for extra fish sauce. I also really like their spring rolls! These are a classic. Their peanut sauce is good, but nothing out of the ordinary. The first time we went, they had a promotion where if we ordered $50 or more, we'd get a free dessert. The dessert was a cold tofu pudding. This was INCREDIBLE. So refreshing, so silky, and the syrup comes on the side so you can control the sweetness. I want to order this again one time because it was so good. My boyfriend comes here a lot, especially when he got sick with a cold. He says the chicken pho is really good here. I'll have to try it next time! read more
