I like Dry Hu Tieu Nam Vang (or Cambodian ho fun dry noodle), and not many Vietnamese restaurants have this dish. Have to say I have tried this dish in many other places and I can say that it tastes closest to the original in SF.

We’ve come here before as a big group and loved their food and service. The space is quite dark inside though. This time around, we ordered the shrimp wrapped in fried tofu, pho dat biet and bun bo hue. The shrimp appetizer was crispy and juicy. The pho dat biet came with a semi raw egg. You slurr that into the hot soup and semi raw beef, yum! The bun bo hue was the perfect spicy level for me which was very mild. I downed the whole bowl which had lots of ingredients. The noodles for the bbh were round so they were super slippery but they were delicious. We ended the meal with 3 beans drink which was the perfect thing to wash everything down. We came early around 5:30pm but the place got busy fast. Servers there were super friendly.

Best banh xeo I’ve had in the Bay Area! And tons of vegan / chay options, definitely a place you want to go out of your way for. The Banh Khot was so soft and delicious.

I’ve lived several years in SF and this is now my favorite Vietnamese restaurant here. The portions are very generous, service is friendly, and dishes are packed with flavor. Especially recommend the chicken summer rolls!

Vietnamese restaurant with a large variety of menu items to choose from. The servers are very nice to serve. You can get chili oil that is not on the table by telling them.

Good authentic pho & generously filled fresh shrimp rolls. Lovely staff. Seems clean, simple. Cute takeout window. It seems to be a neighbourhood favourite. Prices fair. Can ask for chili oil, extra veggies, more fish sauce. We are well-travelled & come from a cosmopolitan city with great ethnic cuisine & this little place is the real deal with the added bonus of great service!

I had the special 5 item rice platter to try out their food. The chicken skewer was amazingly flavored and juicy. All the items we solid. Extra points for actually serving broken rice, and for it being flavorful.

Not the best vegetarian options but there were a good number of them. The crispy egg noodles with veggies was very good. The vegetarian mini pancakes were a bit bland. The curry with rice was good but could’ve used more flavour. Tofu was extremely soft which I liked.

I went to a couple different Vietnamese places while staying in SF, and this was one of the most impressive places. They recommended Oxtail Beef Stew Noodle Soup, and the taste was exactly same as the one I tried in South Vietnam. Beef was super tender.

Ordered takeout – the dishes really exceeded our expectations. We loved the mini savory shrimp pancakes, which are super unique and delicious! I think there is coconut milk in the batter but the coconut taste is not overpowering at all. We also had papaya salad, woven rice noodle with chicken skewers and shaking beef. Hidden gem – definitely will come back for more!
