- Unreliable operating hours
If you prioritize genuinely friendly service and a menu that offers good value with a range of tasty options, 7 Mission is certainly worth considering. The strong 8.4 recommendation score suggests many leave satisfied, particularly those seeking a casual, accommodating meal.

Delicious Vietnamese Food Near Hotels
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was awesome, and the location was incredibly convenient, especially if you're staying at the nearby hotels. I tried the spring rolls, Vietnamese iced coffee, and the BBQ pork vermicelli with egg rolls.
Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was also great, rated 5/5.

Generous Staff and Worth the Walk!
After refusing fake pho at another restaurant, I walked a mile on a bad knee to get to 7 Mission. I was too early as the staff was having lunch until 4 PM. They were kind and let me eat, as I explained I had to go back to the physician's office.
It was VERY nice of them, and the beef pho was worth the walk. Don't tell anyone they let me in when closed for lunch, shhh, don't tell. The pho broth was rich and tasty.
The staff was kind and generous.

Good Food, Lacking Meat Portion
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The food was served piping hot, and I appreciated the nice rice grain with its loose and oily texture. However, the meat portion was really lacking.
Flavor-wise, it was okay, and adding some sweet sauce I had helped. The service was rated a 5, and the atmosphere a 4, with the food itself also rated a 4.

Delicious Asian Food Delivery!
I love Asian food and have been eager to try this restaurant for about a month. Today, I finally had the chance to order from them for delivery. The food was so good!
The chicken and rice were perfect, and the sweet and sour soup was delicious. I highly recommend trying this restaurant. I'm giving them 5 stars!

Amazing Service and Great Food!
I've been a regular at 7th Mission restaurant for about 8 months. Recently, I ordered the corn crab meat soup. The main restaurant operator is incredibly kind, respectful, generous, and understanding.
I ordered takeout, and on my way back to work, I was a little clumsy and the soup container fell and spilled on the sidewalk. I took a picture and showed the store operator, and he thankfully understood and made a fresh, hot new batch. 🥰🥰🥰 I'm very thankful and grateful.
I definitely recommend their Wonton soup, Chicken wings and noodles/ or fried rice as great entrees.
