Bogdana BDecember 20, 2015The imperial rolls and the pho are some of the best I've had and I like the atmosphere as well - small but homey (not to mention that you don't come out smelling like what you've eaten😋!)
Take the beef Pho noodle soup or the vermicelli with spring rolls and beef, pork or chicken, they're all very good and taste like traditional vietnamese food!
Tried beef and chicken noodle soup (it's pho) for takeout this week and it was delicious. They pack it up great just make sure you heat up your broth at home to cook the beef!
My go to is the vermicelli with beef and spring rolls. Delish! This place serves super quick. Also great for take out.
Arix BiMay 24, 2016Lovely place in a lovely location and with 100% great food! Must to try Vietnamese here!! ❤️
One of SF's best bargains: the lunch specials (at $9.50) come with soup, salad, imperial roll, entree and rice. Get a to go box and you'll get 2 more meals out of it.
SEGAJanuary 5, 2012Everything is awesome! When it’s cold out or you’re having a rough day at the office there’s nothing like a giant bowl of Pho to warm you up and make everything seem better. - Matt, Associate Producer
Eric NormanAugust 10, 2013Fast service. Eggplant curry is tasty--make sure to get a side of rice. Vermicelli + BBQ pork is like sprinkling salt into your mouth.
solid place. delicious imperial rolls. the Vietnamese hot and sour soup is delicious! also, take-out is fast here!
Ms HeleneOctober 7, 2018Sizzling seafood in mild chili sauce of fish, shrimp, calamari, snap peas & celery $17 with red or white rice
Joshua HaftelFebruary 26, 2015Garlic noodles are so tasty. Pretty much the reason I come here. Imperial rolls and other dishes are fine, just nothing that stands out too much.
Vermicelli with imperial roll and BBQ pork FTW. Wait and cool the imperial rolls or you will burn yourself
Good pho (not like Turtle Tower but less scary than the Tenderloin), crepe is awesome as are garlic noodles. Better service than Mission, and better quality food. Worth the longer ride on the 22!
They may seem rude but I think it's just lost in translation. Food is excellent. Try the garlic noodles.
Hands down the best vegan noodle soup in the whole Bay Area.
Adrian HoffmanMarch 19, 2012lunch special might be the best deal in the city - includes soup, slaw, rolls, rice and meat.- SEGAJanuary 5, 2012This place rocks! Their Shaken Beef is out of this world, as are the Spicy Green Beans. Plus, Sunflower is vegetarian friendly. - J, Legal Counsel
Super speedy service and you can call in advance to get take out-- always ready in 10 minutes or less :)
c0uPAugust 20, 2014Lots of vegetarian options, but your first stop should be the garlic noodles drenched in Sriracha.- Evan GoldinSeptember 21, 2009The starters are huge. We had a crepe, which was entree-sized itself. It's not a traditional crepe; it's crispy. The BBQ pork bowl was awesome — as was the shaken beef.
Pretty obsessed with the lemongrass tofu. Obsessed as in eat it once a week.
My gosh what would I do with you on Potrero Hill. Imperial rolls all day!
Awesome Food. If you like Pho, you found the right spot. Lesley, David & DeeDee are Working their tails off, amazing staff they have as well.
J SDecember 15, 2014Vermicelli and egg rolls were good but five spice chicken was not :( would prob get pho next time
If you're getting an order to go, call ahead. They'll have your order ready in about 10 minutes.
- The lemon grass tofu entree is really good and seems pretty healthy
Grace TaiMay 8, 2011Leslie is the best, she's super nice. Get their garlic noodles...they are A-mazing!!
They have truly vegetarian / vegan options without fish sauce! I can eat Vietnamese again!
Teresa AuOctober 9, 2011If you get the beef pho, don't add the veggies. They take up too much space in the bowl.
