Take out
Jack R.

Take out review for their rare beef ans tendon noodles. This Vietnamese restaurant is pretty hard to get to since all the parking nearby is nearly impossible to get. The bike lanes are taking over SF. Okay so the restaurant looks dingy and unclean and their menus are sticky. The guy was unfriendly and the portion was small. Felt like it was a little below average with their food. I would skip this place and go for somewhere where they have more customers and fresher food.

pho Rare Steak & Flank Noodle Soup
Eden C.

Fire. Cute little hole in the wall with cute old man running things. Very cozy and lowkey vibes. Got the egg rolls, spicy lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl, and large pho with steak & flank. It was definitely too much food for two small women, but it was delicious! The pho was good- the broth was not super rich, but it was well spiced and had a HUGE serving. Comes with your usual toppings. Nothing outstanding, but very solid. The vermicelli bowl was great- I haven't had this peppery savory flavor much when having Vietnamese food, so I really enjoyed it. Huge serving as well with lots of veggies! The beef was very tender. Saved the best for last-- the egg rolls were awesome. I don't love fried food, but these have me wanting to go back for me right now. They have a fun breaded(?) crispy exterior and are packed with filling, unlike the small and skinny egg rolls you typically get at restaurants. Very affordable and super quick service. I will definitely be back!!

Pleasant surprise. We had the pork chops & chicken with vegetables which were both quite nice. The chicken tasted like they were from a Chinese restaurant bookmarking this place incase i'm back In the neighborhood.

Seafood noodle soup
Sondra H.

I had the seafood soup with egg noodle. The broth was tasty and glistened. The single piece of shrimp was delicate and tender. The single piece of cuttlefish was delicate and tender. The single slice of fish cake was delicate and tender. I think you get the point why 4 not 5 stars. At $14.95, that's a lot for 3 pieces of seafood.

Came here with no line on a Tuesday dinner. Good: - Pho bowl came out so quickly! We ordered and five minutes later it was ready to go - I liked the chicken pho here a ton it was different than I expected and had a lot of flavor - Good portion sizes and prices, really good value Bad: - Service was minimal and the place was small Overall I enjoyed coming! Would come again

crepe bánh xèo
Jeffrey Y.

Delicious place with massive portions of diverse Vietnamese fare! Came here with a friend who rec'ed it! Ambience - 7/10 -- Small hole in the wall place with tables quite close together. At one point, a group of 12+ came in and they combined a bunch of tables. Service - 8/10 -- Timely service, considering how crowded it is! Just one guy as waiter, very pleasant and friendly. Having our water pitcher was helpful! Quality - 9/10 -- Delicious! Got a large bean-sprout-filled dish (bánh xèo) and a large beef combo pho. Either could be a meal for two people! Value - 10/10 -- Large portions, very filling! Overall - 9/10 -- Greatly enjoyed this place, highly recommend, especially when less crowded!

Grilled pork & egg roll vermicelli noodle
Sandy Q.

Hubby and I needed a quick lunch but I didn't feel like eating Mexican or American food so I ended up choosing this place. We ordered grilled pork & egg roll vermicelli noodle and the special combination beef noodle soup. Our food arrived about 5 minutes later. In terms of flavor, I thought the vermicelli noodle was just okay. The egg roll wrapper was quite hard (didn't look like the traditional egg roll wrapper that you can find at other Vietnamese restaurants) and the dipping sauce that came with this dish was bland. I wanted to add more flavor to this dish but I didn't see any fish sauce on any of the tables. No comment on the beef noodle soup since I don't eat beef.

Grilled 5 Spice Chicken Over Rice
Raymond Y.

Solid quick spot for Viet food in the Mission! Came here on a Tuesday night and ordered the Pho Dac Biet and Grilled 5 Spice Chicken Over Rice. The pho broth was quite flavorful and good beefy taste. There was a fair amount of beef too, some fatty and some more lean. Noodles were on the firmer side, which I prefer. I liked the chicken rice plate a bit more though--you could really taste the char on the chicken, and the fish sauce added a nice sweet/sour to the dish. It did feel like the chicken wasn't freshly cooked though and may have been sitting out. Service was quick and a good amount of seating inside

I look forward to having extra time when I'm heading to a Warriors game so I can enjoy this wonderful restaurant. The food is authentic, freshly made and DELICIOUS!

Grilled Pork Chop Over Rice
Christina Q.

This place has become a staple of mine whenever I'm in the city. Ordered the lemongrass chicken with vermicelli and the pork chop rice plate and both were so fresh and flavorful! Flavor bombs all around The portions are smaller than other Vietnamese places but I think they're the perfect size. And food comes out fast :D

We came in by accident as we were just hanging around that area. We liked what we ordered, nothing special though. The meat is clean, flavorful, and savory. The soup is clear, thick, and nourishing. People here were efficient, but not too communicative and warming. The place itself is like a typical Asian restaurant. Will I come back here for the food, probably not. It serves the people around well.

Question: is there a Thanh Tam I somewhere out there?

The original spot was further down Mission and was less whitewashed before they moved to their current location.

It has been a MINUTE since I've been back at Anh Hong, but as always, it did not disappoint!…read more We used to go back in the day when they were still in the TL doing the seven courses of beef. They don't do that anymore, but they still have the same stuff you just have to order à la carte. The restaurant isn't huge, but they're definitely giving more upscale vibes, and I highly recommended making a reservation because they definitely get busy. You end up with a lot of food on the table so it's nice that the tables are huge! We ordered a bunch of things, including their beef carpaccio, beef wrap, grilled pork, and imperial roll dishes, but I think what stood out the most were the prawns! A little on the pricier side, but definitely tasty.

This is a small quaint place. Be sure to make a reservation before you go. We waited about 1 1/2…read morehours, and the service is a bit slow. They are not in a rush to clean up tables so they could seat the next guests. It's more like a we'll seat them when we seat them. No sense of urgency. The food is really good and fresh, but beware that their most popular items do contain peanuts inside of them. The river prawns were a bit overrated in my opinion. Overcooked and bit tough, and chewy would not get them again. Ask for extra napkins up front since you do end up eating with your hands most of it.

It's a little dark inside, but the waiter made everyone feel so comfortable and welcomed everyone with a huge smile. Food was good, portion was huge! I didn't solid foods for almost 2 days (I mostly drink my calories), and I was able to finish the food except the greens. If I had eaten solids the day before, I most definitely wouldn't have finish the food. $15 for a huge bowl of vermicelli and pork!

We walked in to Perilla on a Saturday during lunch, and were seated right away. I came in already…read moreknowing I wanted the Five Spice Chicken with garlic noodles and imperial rolls (#27) since it seemed like the most popular dish. My boyfriend got the Charbroiled beef with garlic noodles and imperial rolls (#24) with an extra order of beef. Our meal was super filling and balanced! They don't skimp out on either the noodles or the protein (definitely could have done without the extra beef we ordered). The chicken was juicy but the skin stayed crispy. The charbroiled beef had the smallest hint of sweetness for me. The noodles had a nice chew to them, and were dry but in the best way possible. A lot of garlic noodles tend to be too oily and leave an unpleasant lingering mouthfeel, but that wasn't the case here. The noodles could have used more garlic for my preference, but I think it was well balanced with the flavorful protein and fish sauce. The imperial rolls were okay and a nice crunchy side. I wouldn't get them as a separate appetizer, but only $1 more to add to your dish is unbeatable. Overall a great experience and I'd definitely bring some friends here for a comforting meal.

TIP: ask for an itemized receipt!! Don't just pay whatever he asks. Review it!!! You MUST be…read morecareful. This older man walks around very ambitious with his little credit card terminal ready to charge anyone who is anyone. He gives no receipt. He is the owner and the waiter. But he does not give any service and just expects tip. All he does is walk around and collect money & does the very minimum. I've given this place multiple chances over the years, but unfortunately each experience has been uncomfortable in one way or another. The first time was around 2022. My family and I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and the owner told us he would still serve us. After seating us, though, he immediately pressured us to order quickly and told us we had to eat fast because they were closing. I was with my elderly relatives too so just turn us away? If that was the case, it would've been better to simply not seat us. Don't be greedy just bc you want a few bucks. Another time, my husband called to order Hanoi-style pho to go, and the owner responded with unnecessary attitude, saying that's the only kind they serve. LOL, ok. The interaction felt rude for no reason. Most recently, we came on Mother's Day. The dishwasher/staff member was also unfriendly. The bun cha was decent according to my mom, and my husband said the beef stew noodle dish was okay, but my pho lacked flavor entirely. I wasn't expecting it to compare to pho in Vietnam or even San Jose, but it tasted very bland so I didn't finish it. The service from the owner continues to be the biggest issue. When we paid, he stood over us while I counted cash, so I felt pressure to count fast and add tip quickly. He left then came back a few seconds later then quickly grabbed the money without even asking whether I needed change and disappeared faster than the wind. The whole interaction felt awkward and pushy. He has a very strange personality. He's honestly very sleazy and has bad energy After several experiences like this, we won't be returning.
