As I was entering I was met at the door by the waiter and questioned as to my intentions. I said that I would like to order to go. I had to ask for a menu. I was not treated well and felt like I was in the deep south 1920 and yes l am a Black Man. I WILL NEVER GO BACK

I love this pho spot. The owners are extremely nice and attentive and the pho is great. Their rice wrap special(#3 on the menu) is amazing as well. You cannot go wrong here! Top 3 pho spots in SF imo: 1a Pho 2000 1b Golden Lotus 1c Golden Flower Restaurant

Located in the heart of the Tenderloin area, some may find it not that appetizing as you'll need to find street parking with parking meters that either don't work, or very dirty. If you are lucky to find parking you're greeted with a strong pungent unpleasant aroma created by humans and their by product. But once you make your way inside the restaurant, the environment gets lot better. The workers here are friendly and attentive with great food at great price that's unheard of in this era. This place had more than the traditional Pho with lot of good ol' Vietnamese comfort food. Didn't try all but the ones we tried are spot on. Their chicken wings are tasty but I prefer wingettes. Their pho was plenty and favorable. The Pho in this area is a dying industry. Although the exterior ambiance may be less than ideal, this place is worth the trip.

Delicious food at decent prices. Really enjoyed their Bird's Nest chow mein, paratha veggie wraps and the egg cake they serve on the side of the rice plates! Many vegetarian options. Great service. BTW, this Golden Lotus is unrelated to the one in downtown Oakland.

Came here twice and I tried the beef pho and the chicken pho and they were both very solid. The service is always fast and friendly, the only downside is the area is a little sketch.

Searching for a pho spot since I moved here. Decided to give this place a shot since it was only a few minutes away from . I ordered the imperial rolls and number 21 Pho bowl which included a combination of meats. The imperial roll was excellent, so tasty. The pho was okay, it wasn't as rich in flavor as I expected. The service was excellent and the vibes in the restaurant was chill. They give you a cup of tea which is exactly what I needed since it was cold out.
