AMAZING VIETNAMESE. I had the pho and the shrimp salad . Super duper tasty. They do take out and you'll have to queue for seats. Always room for one at the bar .
The beef pho was excellent and so big that I couldn't finish it (took the rest home). Also got the spring rolls ! Shared the entree, and bill was $11! Can't get better value than that in the city .
They serve your food in record time. Might be a little dirty but it's cheap and delicious. Imperial rolls are the best. Bike parking on 6th is not recommended.
Oh man, this was exactly what I wanted to find. Great imperial rolls , flavorful pork , and a big ass bowl of noodles .
#17 with grilled pork kebab , imperial roll and rice noodles ($8.25) Sublimely greasy, a spiced minced pork & glass noodle filling that melts into crisp wrappers that come puffed up from the fryer.
Everything is delicious. Everything. The imperial rolls are out of this world, and get the #17 combo with curry rice if you want a flavor bomb
Imperial rolls will leave you royally satisfied! https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMZff7D1YI/?igshid=1oy90jjq997w5
I like getting their fresh rolls . I’ve had the shrimp , grilled pork , and shredded pork . Well balanced flavors. Yum!
The portions are MASSIVE and the food is incredible for the price. Get the chow mein and imperial rolls !
Yay reopened. Long line until after 830pm for dinner . Same crew ★ same happy deep fried noodles with seafood and chicken . Of course imperial rolls !
This is simply amazing. Extremely low prices and yummy food. Spring roll - is local must try!
Delicious pho . Massive portions and friendly staff
Take a seat in the back of the restaurant and enjoy! #18 beef and rice noodle ! Don't forget your imperial roll !
Check out this Vietnamese greasy spoon that is enduringly popular with its die-hard fans (and formerly with Julia Child ). Fried rice is a favorite. Read more
Ginger chicken with curry fried rice ! Too much food for one person, definitely lots of take home for a second meal.
This little Vietnamese spot has a ton of character, and amazing service. Not the greatest bowl of pho I've ever had though.
The pho here is delicious!! They also have awesome seasoned pork .
Super fast Vietnamese hole on the wall. Scary good food that is properly accompanied by the neighborhood .
#17! Best Bun Cha - over stuffed Imperial rolls with grilled crispy pork
Herb Caen (RIP) and Julia Child recommend this place. Food arrived in under 5 minutes. Piles of delicious salad & BBQ #15. Yumm
Imperial rolls are a must. This is how real Vietnamese people do it.
Hole in the wall restaurant . Come if you want some authentic vietnamese food . The quality of the food makes up for the look of the restaurant .
Imperial rolls are a must. Though everything on the list is freaking delicious.
#17 vermicelli with BBQ pork and imperial rolls , which are the best in the world
Must trys: lemongrass beef salad , chicken noodle soup , seafood over crispy noodles , currychicken. If you come alone be reay to have leftovers for another 2 meals
Number 7 - imperial rolls , pork and vermicelli . Greasy but very cheap and delicious. Surrounding area is a little sketchy . I wouldn't recommend coming after dark.
Walk past the line outside waiting for takeout and sit at the counter or ask for a table. Immediate service provided. Line = lemmings
Amazing prices on food and beer . And the food is great, especially the #17
Imperial rolls are deep fried deliciousness! Iced vietnamese coffee great too.
imperial rolls , though greasy, have this delicious pork filling... grab a lemonade soda for all your grease cutting needs and voila! worth the adventure (6th and Market can seem a bit threatening (lit
Imperial rolls . That is all.
I love this place. The imperial rolls are to die for!
The Imperial Rolls are to die for. I have dreams about it
Watching him cook 27, shrimp/pork/chicken/veg is almost as good as the taste. soup lovers: get 75, veggie noodle soup , or 9, shrimp & pork soup .
Can’t go wrong with a number 17. Unless you don't like delicious pork …
if my memory serves me right, #33 is a huge pot of soup (2+ pax). Get it with a side of rice and enjoy!
Sweet sour fish , chicken fried rice , beef sauteed in ginger for the win!!
Sketchy location but the imperial rolls and shrimp fried rice are to die for.
They're back! Great food and reasonable prices. The colorful neighborhood comes free.
#7 is also good!
Try the Mì Xào Dòn - So much food <3 (via @Foodspotting)
Great Hu Tieu!
Super inexpensive , large portions , tasty, no frills.
Tasted good! E fried rice portion is huge for two persons! Get e shrimp fried rice & empire roll!
Imperial rolls 4 lyfe. That is all.
A great SF institution, but I like the good at Miss Saigon better.
Order the specialties. If you order standard Vietnamese fare your order competes with takeouts .
1 and 66: imperial roll and vegetarian tofu roll. To go.
The Pho and Bun is amazing. Love it. The closest thing to a true Vietnamese experience that I have had in the US
29b Hu Tieu Nam Vang Kho is the best Dry Pho I've had in the City. Great flavor and very satisfying. - Hayz
Love the pho!!! #42 rice plate is delicious too. Try the beef stew pho if you're adventurous. - Kim Wong
Order some warm soy milk. Fresh and amazing. Also the braised duck is a must! - @Roem
My favorite large venue in San Fran. Park at the large parking lot nearby or take BART, don't try for street parking. Don't worry about where you're sitting, it's a great view from anywhere. - Roy Scopazzi
Make it a point to wander up to the lobby upstairs. It's beautiful and spacious - Magan Biggs
Seat in the mezzanine or loge are very good for sound and view. Also definitely preorder drinks as the lines are ver long. Y - Rebecca Elliott
