I ordered large size which came with 7pcs of tendon and 3 meat balls and it costed me $22 for this. This place has increased the price that is unreasonable for a bowl of Pho. I would not recommend to come here because you can get better and cheaper Pho from different places. Not coming back here again ever.

It was full on a Saturday night and I had to queue up, so I thought it would be pretty good.

I will said the price is good , $15 for regular size , soup base is great ( feel like no MSG ,not thirsty), meat was ok , noodles texture a little bit harder.

Table is small , very near each other . They need to take care of clean job .

After reading the other 1 star reviews, at least I wasn’t the only one to have such an experience.

Highly recommended- simple flavorful Pho menu. Broth was perfect for a cold winter afternoon. Also try the salty lemon with soda drink.

Had a large #1 pho, pretty solid! Broth tastes very clean, and the portions were good

The soup is light and tastes good
Ordering a big bowl of pho won’t be a lot
The a la carte beef rib meat was not tender enough
A girl won’t be too full after eating

I used to go here when it was beef noodle #1, and have the dessert waffles. It was epically good, I miss it. They are fancier now but the food is still very good.

I don’t think I will come to this restaurant again. We had a Vietnamese female server tonight, she has short hair, who had a poker face throughout our visit—no smile or friendliness. When we tried to order 1 large, she told us there was no tendon available and couldn’t suggest any substitutes when we asked. We requested warm water, but she first brought boiling water. When we asked again for warm water, she responded with a poor attitude.
At the end of our meal, she stood far away and only walked over when we paid, seemingly to check if we would leave a tip. We gave 10%, but not because of the service—simply because of inflation and wanting to support a local business. Only after seeing the tip did she say “thank you,” but it felt insincere. Overall, the service attitude was disappointing.

Dear San Franciscan,

This place opens 8am-8pm. Drove almost an hour every time we want a legit Pho ribs soup. Never disappoint.
You should come and try.

Good pho but restaurant is cheap with the bean sprouts-- only one plate of bean sprouts for four pho bowls...
