Excellent Pho and Generous Portions
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had a perfect bowl of pho tai, and the portions were huge, even for a regular size. The service was quick, and the overall atmosphere was great.

Great Bun Bo Hue, Hidden Gem
My experience at this restaurant was centered around their Bun Bo Hue. I would definitely come again. The spice level was nice, hitting just the right spot. While I usually go to the Tenderloin for Vietnamese food in SF, I now have another great spot for BBH. A minor point is that the entrance is somewhat hidden from view by the muni bus stop.

Good Vietnamese Food with a Parking Caveat
My experience at this restaurant offered really good Vietnamese food with an extensive menu. I particularly appreciated that their veggies included fresh mint. While waiting for my to-go order by the door, the female staff was kind enough to give me a cup of hot tea, which was a really nice gesture. The tea was very fragrant, reminiscent of pandan tea served in Vietnam. The dining area is pretty big, with plenty of tables suitable for 4-person dining and big group dining. The main con is parking; it's very hard to find parking in the Mission and residential area. I spent about 15 minutes circling around on a weekday afternoon. Otherwise, I think this is a good go-to spot for Vietnamese food in SF.

Authentic Vietnamese with Friendly Service
My experience at this family-owned restaurant was very positive. They serve authentic Vietnamese dishes, and the food was hot and fresh. The staff was very friendly, and the food came out in a decent amount of time. While finding parking can be tricky, the overall experience was great.

Delicious Pho and Spring Rolls!
I visited for lunch on a Friday and found the restaurant mostly empty. The service was quietly friendly. I ordered the beef pho, which had a great broth, and the meats were really tasty. I also enjoyed the spring rolls, with a warm and super satisfying peanut sauce. I really liked the food and want to come back to try the grilled pork!

Authentic Vietnamese Gem
I randomly tried this place and it's definitely a Vietnamese restaurant to check out if you are in the area. I ordered the bun bo hue which was very nicely done, pork blood and all. The food was great, and the service and atmosphere were also rated highly.

Excellent Pho and Bun Bo
This is a small restaurant where you eat very well. The pho soup is excellent and the bun bo is also very good. I recommend it.

Best Pho Ever!
My girlfriends and I always try to come by at least every 3 weeks to get our fix of pho. The flavor is great and the service is cool.

Best Pho Ever Tried!
I can testify that this is the best Pho I have ever tried. I didn’t know what to expect, but from the appetizer to the main menu, it was worthy. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was also top-notch.

Pho Golden: A Welcoming Spot for Pho Lovers
I've been to this restaurant many times before it changed ownership and became Pho Golden. It used to be my go-to pho spot when I was in the area. On my most recent visit, I was craving pho. Upon arrival, I was greeted by their friendly and welcoming staff. It was early, and they had just opened. Their menu offers a variety of options, including pho, appetizers, special noodle soups, rice plates, drinks, and authentic Vietnamese dishes. Everything is made to order, which is always a plus, and I didn't mind the wait as I have high patience. The food was really good, and the staff are well-trained and understanding. I highly recommend this place to all pho enthusiasts, whether you need a quick bite or want to enjoy your food in a laid-back restaurant. I will definitely be back to try their other delicious options.
