Anh Hong holds a special place in San Francisco’s food scene — and in my heart? I can say it’s the best Vietnamese restaurant! With over 30 years of history (originally on Geary Street in the Tenderloin), this Vietnamese gem is now nestled in the Outer Richmond.
What keeps me coming back is their warm hospitality and fresh, flavorful dishes. I especially love the DIY spring rolls — there’s something so fun and satisfying about assembling your own with fresh herbs, vermicelli, and grilled meats (lamb chops, beef rolls, sausages )or shrimp. One of my favorites is the Grilled Shrimp on Sugarcane (Chạo Tôm) — juicy, sweet, and perfectly grilled.
Whether I’m catching up with friends or craving comfort food with my family, Anh Hong is always top of my choice. I appreciate what this restaurant has built over the years and I love amazing food. Highly recommend you give it a try!

Overpriced. Lack of attention to detail. Much better viet options in our wonderful city. I hope they invest in the customer experience and slash prices by 50%.

This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in San Francisco (they don't serve pho here), specializing in fresh spring rolls. I've been coming here for almost 10 years, since they were in downtown—actually, it's been over 10 years now... time really flies. All of their dishes are among the top 5 in San Francisco! Many famous restaurants post on Instagram and make a big show, but do their dishes really live up to the hype? I hope they focus more on the quality of their food instead of just showing off on Instagram. Anyway, Anh Hong is a must-try restaurant in San Francisco, and you will never regret it!

Nice restaurant, service is good. Food has good foveate, don't order the grilled shrimp, the one I had is way over cooked, meat was very very hard, and the shelf stick with meat, importable to separate them. I end up eating the shelf.

The food tasted great, but I kind of lost my appetite due to the intense stench of piss all over the restaurant. It smells like they mopped the floors with piss. The bathroom was disgusting and there were fruit gnats all over the restaurant and in our food. It was honestly gross. But the service was great and flavor was pretty good.

My first time here and we had an early dinner with a few friends.Very nice decor and comfortable seating.The young sever was very friendly and helpful. All the dishes was beautifully presented and tasty! The beef roll was very juicy. The shrimp paste grilled on sugar cane was a tad dry .The sour plum soda was very well balanced!Everyone should come try!The food here was better than the restaurants in Saigon & Da Nang where I spent a month in 2022!

I have been to this place for more than a decade. I loved their 7 beef course set menu, so I could try all courses of beef. Unfortunately they don't do that anymore. Each course can be ordered individually. So I picked the ones that I liked the most. Bo Tai Chanh. The raw beef. Um. I never say no to this. I also ordered grilled pork, beef sausages, beef wrapped, and shrimp with sugar cane. It's a lot for two people. I like the hands-on wrap it yourself experience. The services were above standard. I highly suggest to rsvp. This place is always packed. If you can't find parking, there's a small parking lot about up a block where people go to golf. I wish they had 7 beef courses meal set again.
