GAO VIET KITCHEN is a popular spot known for its delicious northern-style Vietnamese dishes and efficient service. The beef rib soup remains a favorite, and the pho soup flavor is outstanding, with beef and noodles cooked perfectly. The soft shell crab bun rieu is flavorful, and the imperial rolls are consistently well-made. The restaurant offers dishes like Wrap N Roll and Phozilla, which feature generous portions. While some customers feel the taste isn't significantly better than other pho restaurants and consider the prices a bit high, the overall meal experience is still enjoyable.
With locations in SF and San Mateo, the restaurant has a lively yet cozy atmosphere that customers appreciate. The interior is beautiful, with a smart use of space that includes additional dining on a mezzanine level and a bar on the top floor. Although tables can feel a little squished, the restaurant doesn’t feel too crowded thanks to its layout. Despite some dishes needing a bit more flavor and some service being a little slow, the friendly staff and tasty food make it a worthwhile visit. The passion fruit drink and pandan drink are refreshing choices, even if the servings are small. Parking is available nearby, making it convenient for many. Overall, GAO VIET KITCHEN remains a go-to spot for those looking for hearty, flavorful Vietnamese cuisine.
