The Special Combo Noodle Pho is packed with nutrients. Thin cut pieces of meat, noodles and vegetables. Staff do a great job and give generous servings. The Shrimp and Pork Salad Rolls are also filling and delicious.
Festive lunar New Year decor immediately greets diners upon entry — a novel photo opp in the heart of Chinatown.
The pho checks the box for standard goodness, but doesn’t quite make a 5 of 5. Noodles perfectly cooked, the broth however lacking depth. Still, a good option in the neighborhood when seeking flavors Southeast Asian
Good Vietnamese crispy pan fried noodles here. I had their #43, Golden Noodle (Special) $14. The crispy pan fried noodles weren't dense enough, but it was flavorful. The noodles had the perfect firmness with a fluffy crunch. They used thicker egg noodles than Chinese pan fried noodles giving it a unique crunch. The gravy had good "wok hay", a deep, smoky oil flavor. The assorted toppings include fish cake, imitation crab meat, minced garlic, shrimps and vegetables. The plate looked big, but there really weren't enough noodles compared to other restaurants that serve this dish. Regardless, it was a good meal. The service was great as I was the only person dining indoors tonight.
great authentic Vietnamese food options for vegetarians in San Francisco!
delicious vegetarian pho noodle soup (#92) with fresh veggies, bok choy, crisp tofu, and i have to mention how gigantic this soup is! get it to go and make it two meals for $13. the broth has a good spice and i even added a little sriracha.
note: pho chay is not under the vegetarian menu section but its #92
i highly recommend #126 also, the crispy vegetarian rolls.
awesome location right in the heart of chinatown. moderately priced for the portion sizes. very nice, humble little dining room with cute plants and decor. quick service with tea on the table when you arrive.
definitely going to get some phò next time I'm sick. can't wait!!!!
edit: went back and ordered 136 Vegetarian Delight and was not blown away. very simple dry noodles with tofu and brocolli. If that’s your thing, its a giant portion! if not, go for the soup instead
The milk tea was very delicious and also our food. The pho was tasty and a big portion, the noodle dish was great as well, but could have been more. The restaurant was very busy on a Saturday evening and the staff quite stressed, but nevertheless we had a great stay there.
Service was pretty slow, interior itself is cool, clean and nice. Food was good enough and affordable. The dish didn’t have much meat. I asked for Vietnamese iced coffee not sweat and got sweet one but it was fine after shaking with ice. The place is good but nothing special
Went here after waking the streets looking for somewhere to eat. It was busy but they cleared a table for us to sit at. Lots of choice available. We chose Veg Spring Rolls, Beef Chow Fun and 5Spice Chicken. Rolls were delicious as was the ChowFun but the Chicken was quite bland and uninspired. We were serves a pot of hot tea that was free. Very friendly staff who were busy serving constantly. Would go back again and have the soup which was what everyone else seems to be having around us. Those bowls were MASSIVE.
Enjoyed it and would revisit. Excellent value for money.
Ordered the goi cuon (spring rolls) and pho xe lua - both were amazing! Goi cuon had perfect ratio of pork and shrimp with a delicious sauce, and the pho broth was really hearty. The restaurant is also decorated beautifully with flower garlands and lanterns. Will be coming back again!
SO GOOD! We did take out, got 2 dry noodles, 1 pho noodle soup, and 2 rolls. Everything was in big portions, with lots of vegetables and meat to supplement the noodles, and the rolls were filled generously too. The only item we didn’t really like was the pork roll because it was a little salty and bland—could use some pickled vegetables or something to carry the pork.
The price is so economical with everything coming out to around $45. The service was fast and food ready in 25 minutes. The food is nongreasy and light and good when you want a solid meal that leaves you feeling healthy too. Hands down my favorite Vietnamese place in SF.
Came here for lunch on a Monday before the AZ Diamondbacks vs SF Giants game tonight. Ordered the Lemongrass Chicken and Ginger Chicken after having some Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls. Awesome Vietnamese Cuisine! Would definitely eat here again. Pricing was average and it gets crowded fast! Worth the wait though :-)
I have come to this restaurant many times and always impressed me! Everyone is so nice and respectful. I recommend the pho 🍜
Great little Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown. Rice paper rolls with scrimp were bursting with fresh ingredients and full of flavour while the rare beed pho with fresh herbs was very tasty and nourishing. Highly recommended.

I came here twice in the span of one week and ordered the same thing (Xe Lua with the beef balls). The first time they completely missed the tripe, tendon, and beef balls. I contributed that to me showing up late. I did come in right before closing, which is terrible of me to begin with. However, I felt like they substituted with more meat. The second time I ordered this... they did include the tripe and beef balls! However, the tendons were nowhere to be seen. The broth does not seem consistent when I compared my first and second time. The first bowl was more bland but the second bowl was more sweet and the onion flavor was more prominent. One thing I noticed is that the meat are usually cooked by the time it get to you. The meat is supposed to cook in the broth; however, in other pho restaurants the meat is still red when it comes to you. This isn't really the case here. The bowl is $12 which is on par with Bay Area prices. The Vietnamese coffee is $4.50 which is on par as well. It sucks that you more or less have to expect Bay Area prices but don't let it deter you from trying this place out!
I love this restaurant, the food is delicious and service is pretty quick. I love to get the Imperial rolls followed by the rare steak pho.
