This is my definite go to spot for some soup pho, BBH or bun rieu.. the staff are always very nice to us when we come in. They actually know our order by heart, almost. Parking is a little hard and this place only accepts cash!

I usually came here several times a year when I’m in the neighborhood. Their food is fine: hot, edible, and clean. Their service is minimal— waitress brought glasses of water and food to the table. No refills offered and she doesn’t check up on you. All the utensils are self-service and napkin dispensers are on the table too. Prices are competitive. Portion sizes standard.

Unfortunately I had a bad experience. We had 5 people and the waitress automatically added her tip to my bill. She refused to give us a breakdown of the subtotal, taxes, and her tip amount. She kept saying the total is $89 with tip and walked away. When I asked for more clarification, she just read off the name of the items ordered and said, “what don’t you understand. That’s what you ordered” and walked away again as she spoke. See attached photo of the “bill”.

In the past, I’ve had 6 people at the table and I was allowed to determine the tip amount. I’m unsure if there was a change in ownership. There was absolutely no miscommunication since we spoke in her language.

If the waitress was transparent and wasn’t so curt, then I would have actually given her my normal tip percentage which is actually a lot more than what she demanded.

I recommend the food here, but I do not recommend the dine-in experience.

When you're not feeling too well, and need some hot and soupy goodness, try out this hole in a wall family restaurant that specializes in Vietnamese pho ga. It's chicken noodles. If you feel adventurous, go with the chicken and intestines, which is actually very small strips of chicken and thin sliced gizzards and liver. You also get your choice of regular pho that gives your mouth some springy chewing satisfaction, thin vermicelli style, or slurpy knife cut style noodles. Sticks to your ribs, clears your sinus and friendly to your wallet.

The place is not where I'll bring a first date. Bare bones wall, sounds echoing all over the place.

The service is brisk, but sufficient.
Only metered steet parking available and you will feel pretty lucky if you can find a spot within a block if this restaurant.

Bad services, portion of the food compare with the price is not worth. Highly not recommended. With this price tons of options in SF for better price, taste, and services.

Got two dishes. Bun Bo Hue and the pho Dac Biet and I would definitely recommend the Bun Bo Hue. It evens has the stinky shrimp paste, which makes it taste even better.

This is one of the better places in the city to get the Bun Bo Hue

Decent, but nothing-to-write-home-about pho. One benefit is being open at 10am for those eager to get a fill before lunch time.Seafood Pho — basic, but lacked a depth of flavor in broth. Noodles were slightly overcooked.

The best chicken soup

Soaking fly in my soup. No thanks.

Chicken pho when you're sick. Always hits the spot. Cash only unless you use online ordering. Service is alright if you keep in mind that Pho is fast food, not fine dining.

The pho nation restaurant down the block from this place is definitely the #1 here and always my to go to, but I wanted to try something new. I spent $41 on 2 dishes plus a side of dumplings and it definitely wasn’t worth the terrible service I’ve received. After the person took our order, she snatched the menus and threw them on the other table which made me want to just get up and leave. When we were leaving and my partner handed her the money to pay, she snatched it from him and didn’t even say thank you or goodbye to either of us. Never coming back here again.
