Quan Ngon Pho Ha Noi

Such a great little noodle spot in the outer Sunset district! It just takes a few minutes from when you order til hot soupy noodles are in your hands. My favorite is their chicken noodle soup because it always hits the spot. Make sure you have cash though since they're not accepting cards at the moment. Coming here is a no brainer during cold weather.

The fried fish cake comes with pickled radishes and carrots. The picking is spot on with vinegar to sweetness. Nice presentation with rice noodles sprinkled with ground up peanuts and sautéed green onion. Pho is the major offering but I not sure what region is being represented here, North/South or Asian? I got the large pho ga (chicken). It came with wide white noodles and really shredded chicken pieces (skin included or home style). The broth is delicious with hints of spice in the background. Very smooth flavors and pretty clean broth. No bean sprout or basil leaves, yes I said it “no bean sprout” on the side. I think that someone forgot to tell them that bean sprouts is a super food and it keeps old men regular with their cycles. Wedge of Lime and sliced jalapeño in a small dish. I gave a double shot of sriracha and two tablespoons of hoisin sauce-senior flare. I finished the bowl which proves that old people are hungry and have something to say about a good bowl of pho. Try at your own risk of course and if you are ready to expand your pho skills. Newbies to pho, go somewhere else (with knowledgeable friends). Establishment only takes cash, no credit card or bit coin.
