Amazing Beef Pho Gem!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the beef pho during lunch, and the quality was amazing. It featured three types of beef: brisket, beef balls, and flank.
The portion was generous, and the price was incredibly affordable. As I work nearby, I can't believe I hadn't discovered this little gem sooner. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

Huge Portions, Delicious Appetizers, Okay Broth
My experience at the restaurant was marked by huge portions and surprisingly delicious appetizers. While the pho broth was just okay, and the Bun Bo Hue broth could have been better, the overall food quality, especially for the dumplings and spring rolls, was excellent. The service was fast, though we were the only ones there as we arrived before closing.
Ordering was convenient with a kiosk and QR code option. The atmosphere was pleasant, rated a 4 out of 5.

Closed During Business Hours
I drove half an hour to come to this place and they were closed during business hours. I’m standing in front of their place now at 10: 00 PM but online it says they close at 11.

Consistently Closed, Don't Waste Your Time
I’ve been trying to come here, but every time I visit, it’s closed. The new business hours posted on the window are apparently not accurate either. I suggest you don’t waste your time like I have multiple times.

Delicious Steak Sandwich & Great Value!
My experience at Wha Da Pho? Was super delicious! I had a steak sandwich that was tender and juicy, served on soft bread with a sweet dressing.
I really enjoyed it. The service was great, the place was clean, and nothing beats the prices! Thank you!

Excellent Service and a Surprise Treat
I had a great experience today. I ordered fried rice and it took longer than expected; I had time so I wasn’t worried. They brought me some fried chicken free of charge to make up for the wait (that I wasn’t even complaining about).
Great service and a very welcome touch from management.

Mixed Bag: Good Banh Mi, Concerning Kitchen Hygiene
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. The banh mi and iced coffee were very good, offering a delightful taste. However, the frozen dumplings and dried noodles, while prepared well, were served without the appropriate sauces, which was a letdown.
The decor featured a lot of different stereotypes, but overall, it created a pleasant space. The most concerning aspect was hearing productive coughing and unmasked sniffling coming from the kitchen, which raises significant hygiene concerns.

Disappointing Pho Experience
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I found the pho to be the worst I've had in San Francisco. The food was bland, and the veggies were visibly wilted, indicating they weren't fresh.
The Thai tea was watery and lacked flavor. The staff seemed disinterested and didn't make much of an effort to be welcoming, although they weren't outright rude. The service felt rushed and impersonal, and I wished for more warmth and engagement, especially given the overall unsatisfactory dining experience.

Disappointing Banh Mi Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. Despite the place being virtually empty at 2 pm, I had to wait 15 minutes for my banh mi. While some food in San Francisco is worth waiting for, this sandwich was not.
The bread was crumbly, and the steak was chewy and over-sauced. I will definitely not be returning.

Intriguing Pho with a Subtle Mystery
Vietnamese is one of my favorite foods to eat any time day or night. The food is very fresh, and one can identify each ingredient by smell or taste. However, I have not been able to pinpoint what part of their Pho Combo dish has a funny, either plasticky or soapy, very very subtle taste.
It is almost invisible to one's senses, as I add sweet sauce and spicy Sriracha, the whole flavor mingles up, and then one is already surfing with the typical Pho dish. Still, I will be returning to find out if I am able to taste the same outcome. I've been thinking about it since the night I went to WDP.
Probably it is their black stone dishes? Made out of some type of black stone? Maybe after they are molded into the shape of a dish, then they are painted?
Who knows? But I am very intrigued.
