November 2023:
Stopped for lunch and ordered the chicken pho. Also ordered a green bean vegetable dish.
Everything tasted good. The chicken pho had bits of fried garlic in the dish. Lots of noodles. Chicken breast shreds didn't have much flavor.
Green bean dish was on the small side. Guess green beans are expensive.
Overall, would stop by again but would try something different next time.
spring roll & veggie pho are just ok, have had way better ones; but my mom really liked the crab paste one!
Super big portions. The five spice chicken is cooked perfectly (though a little sweet), and the garlic noodles are very buttery. I ordered the crab paste noodles which i’d never had before and they were very umami.
While walking around Lombard street, we came across Ly’s Vietnamese restaurant. We tried their Beef and Chicken Pho each along with spring rolls. Truly delicious! Very friendly, humble and courteous staff. Great find. We will surely visit again.
Foods portion quite large for me but it was good, and services were friendly.
I don't write reviews often, but I literally have to for this place. If you're an sf local, you would 1) know about this place, and 2) come here. It's incredible food, a super comfy atmosphere, and the nicest staff- probably in all of San Francisco. If you're in the mood for a super casual date, or a relaxing/quick dinner, go check it out. The best pho I've had in SF by FAR
Good Pho! And a nice quiet place - a welcome change from the noisy, crowded & overpriced places lining up Chestnut street!! I just had my fix of delicious chicken pho & Thai iced tea for brunch, and must’ve spent an hour enjoying it! The staff was very friendly & didn’t really bother me despite me eating really really slowly & enjoying my meal today! They have some good veggie pho as well - my favorite is still PPQ in Inner Sunset, but this just might be the best in the Marina. Give it a try, you might just add it to your regular spots!!

Nourishing food in a simple atmosphere. I’m slurping with joy. You should, too. Come on in and order.
Our go to place for inexpensive lunches. Very good personnel, fast service, wide variety of food and drinks including beer, wine and some specific beverages. Pho is usually great. They have a few TVs.
Quick, clean, and delicious! I don't come to this side of town much but I needed a quick and filling lunch and Ly's hit the spot with their rare beef pho. Staff was friendly and definitely a clean location. It's hard to find a place where their rare beef isn't super tough and honestly Ly's had one of the most tender beef slices I've gotten at any place in the city so I 100% appreciate that. I'd like to come back to try their other dishes!
