Excellent Pho, Worth the Visit
This is one of the few good pho places in the city, and I was surprised it took me so long to visit. The classics are done right.

Terrible Service, Unacceptable Experience
My experience at this restaurant was marked by terrible service and a complete lack of hospitality. The waiter was cold and seemed solely focused on collecting the bill. He handed me the menu and pointed to the table, and then, astonishingly, placed the bill on the table in the middle of the meal. I will definitely not be returning. While I understand a waiter might have a bad day, the way this was handled with customers was unacceptable.

Fantastic Pho Experience!
My experience at this pho joint was everything I could have wanted. The broth was crazy good, and the portions were generous. It wasn't too expensive, and the service was fast. The atmosphere had a very relaxed neighborhood vibe.

Unreal Flavor, Unreal Price!
My experience at this restaurant was defined by unreal flavor for an unreal price. I expected them to be a little mean, in the way that good Vietnamese places are, and the food was a 5/5, service a 4/5, and atmosphere a 4/5.

Incredible Pork, Underwhelming Pho
My experience at the restaurant was a tale of two dishes. The pork chop and vermicelli grilled pork were absolutely incredible. All the meat was beautifully seasoned and grilled to perfection. However, I was extremely underwhelmed with the pho.

Great Food and Friendly Staff!
My first visit to Kevin and Chris Noodle House was a fantastic experience. The energy was vibrant, and the food was truly good. My friend enjoyed the Pho, while I savored the Vermicelli noodles. We also shared the fried chicken wings and enjoyed a refreshing Thai Iced tea. Everything was amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Authentic Vietnamese Comfort Food in the Sunset
We stumbled upon Kevin & Chris’s Noodle House while exploring San Francisco’s Sunset district and decided to dive in for some comforting Vietnamese fare. No reservations were needed, and we were seated quickly in the casual dining room. We ordered the medium pho along with shrimp appetizers and spring rolls, all of which impressed with their freshness, making it a solid spot for noodle lovers craving authentic flavors in the city. This no-frills Vietnamese eatery channels a bustling, community vibe with basic decor and tightly packed tables. The aroma of simmering broths fills the air, drawing locals and visitors alike in a perpetually lively space that’s efficient and unpretentious, perfect for a casual meal. The menu highlights Vietnamese staples like pho, rice plates, vermicelli bowls, and appetizers. Broths are flavorful and balanced, with options for customization – no fancy twists, but affordable and generous portions. The medium pho arrived piping hot with a rich, aromatic broth, loaded with tender noodles, fresh herbs, and our choice of meats; it was comforting and flavorful, easily one of the better bowls we’ve had in SF. Both the shrimp appetizers (crispy shrimp cakes) and spring rolls were crisp and freshly fried, with a golden exterior that gave way to juicy fillings, accompanied by a nice sweet and sour sauce. They were addictive starters, great for sharing and setting the tone for the meal. Service was prompt and efficient; our order came out ridiculously fast, with friendly staff smiling and handling the busy room like pros, making us feel welcome despite the quick pace. No reservations, so go during off-hours to snag a table without wait. Parking on Irving Street is street-only and competitive, so consider public transit. Prices are reasonable, but portions are hearty. Pair your pho with a lychee shake for a sweet finish! Absolutely, Kevin & Chris’s Noodle House serves up crave-worthy Vietnamese comforts like fresh pho and crispy appetizers in a lively SF setting that’s all about quick, delicious satisfaction. We’ll be back for more bowls next time we’re in the Sunset.

Authentic Vietnamese Comfort Food Gem
My experience at Kevin & Chris’s Noodle House was a total win for tourists craving authentic Vietnamese food! Their phở is a standout, featuring a rich, cozy broth packed with beefy flavor, fresh noodles, and perfect meatballs. I tried the beef phở and a vermicelli bowl, and both were super tasty and under $15! The place is always buzzing, but the staff are quick and friendly, getting your food out fast. It’s a casual, no-fuss spot, great for families or a quick bite after exploring the city. The mango shake with tapioca pearls is a sweet bonus! Open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM, it’s easy to swing by. If you’re in SF and want legit, affordable Vietnamese, this is your spot—total comfort food heaven.

Delicious Food, Worth the Wait
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, especially regarding the food. The meatballs were incredibly good, and even the fried shrimp, which I typically don't like, were surprisingly delicious. Be prepared for a wait, as you'll need to get there before you're hungry. If you're dining alone, expect to share a table with others.
