Great place for a quick lunch near UCSF medical. Pho was standard, but the green papaya salad was very, very good. Not overly spicy. Their spicy meatball and pork was delightful. Definitely coming back for the salad and meatballs!
My go to lunch spot if I’m in the area. The imperial rolls and the chicken satay are to die for. The portions are hearty and the staff is always so welcoming. The food comes out quickly and is incredibly delicious. If you are in the area needing some good food, this is the place. I wish they were open later, but only because I crave it all the time!! Absolutely love this place.
The service was quick and attentive. My friend and both I had the Pho and the food was good, but the broth could have had more flavor.

My Father's Kitchen offers a tidy, clean space with a few nice design elements. The restaurant serves affordable meals, including their renowned pho broth, which is described as some of the cleanest and simplest in the area. Customers praise the restaurant's Chicken Pho, highlighting the free-range chicken and well-balanced, clean-tasting soup. The restaurant is also known for its delicious bun cha, a Vietnamese dish recommended by a local Vietnamese friend. The staff is always kind, and the meals are available for takeout, making it a convenient option for early dinners.
It is a popular, casual spot that can get busy, sometimes requiring diners to share tables. The space has a good amount of seating and is kept very clean. The food is flavorful, and ordering is simple thanks to a short, numbered menu. Portion sizes can vary, with some non-noodle dishes like five spice chicken being a bit smaller, but they are among the best in the area. Customers often visit for quick, healthy, and delicious lunches, praising the fast service and the quality of the pho, which they find hard to recreate at home. The iced coffee is also a favorite, enjoyed regardless of caffeine needs. Despite higher prices than some other Vietnamese spots, many feel it’s worth it for the good food and friendly service.
