"IT'S A BIRD!" "NO, IT'S A PLANE!" "IT'S QUE VIET!"…read more No Superman here, but let me be your hero for a second because I'm about to put you on to, hands down, **the best Vietnamese food I've ever had**. I actually discovered Que Viet through DoorDash and had everything delivered. I ordered the Deep-Fried Imperial Rolls (Cha Gio), Grilled Chicken & Chicken Imperial Roll Garlic Noodles (Mi Top Ga Nuong Cha Gio Ga), Grilled Pork Sausage Rolls (Nem Cuon), Vietnamese Shrimp Mini Crepes (Banh Xeo Tom), and the Grilled Pork Sausage & Sliced Pork Woven Vermicelli (Banh Hoi Nem & Thit Nuong). Yes... I spent almost **$100 for two people**. Looking back at the receipt, I had to ask myself, *"Is this place expensive, or am I just fat?"* Honestly... probably a little of both. Either way, it was one of the best $100 I've ever spent. If it's your first time ordering from Que Viet, do yourself a favor and get the **garlic noodles**. I know garlic noodles are everywhere these days, but these completely changed my expectations. They were perfectly cooked with an incredible bounce, packed with rich garlicky flavor, and the portion size was generous enough for leftovers (if you have the self-control). I also tried the **Banh Hoi Nem & Thit Nuong** for the first time, and it did not disappoint. One heads-up, though: it's generously topped with crushed peanuts. My friend has a peanut allergy, so thankfully we caught it before digging in. If you have any nut allergies, be sure to mention it when ordering. Every single dish arrived fresh, flavorful, and tasted like it had just come out of the kitchen despite being delivered. That's not something you can say about many places. If you ever find yourself in the city, you **need** to make a stop at Que Viet. This place has been living rent-free in my head ever since, and I already know I'll be back the next chance I get.

Made reservation for 4 so we could take advantage of Chase Sapphire Reserve benefits that paid for…read moremore than half our meal. We wanted to give this place a try considering it looked like a high end Vietnamese restaurant. Keep in mind, that parking is very tough so make sure to come ahead of time to find parking or uber/lyft. Items on the menu priced are on the higher end so keep that in mind. Some photos of the items ordered are missing from a little distraction. We ordered a lot for family style and this is what we experienced... Bo Tai Chanh 4.5/5 It was nice and refreshing. Loved the crunch of the pickled onions and the extra added flavors of the fried shallots and garlic. Great starter and we enjoyed it. Banh Khot Caviar 3/5 The inside was a little undercooked for me. It was still wet and pasty but the exterior was crispy . I couldn't really taste the caviar. The shrimp was cooked nicely. Blue Fin Tuna Tartare 4/5 Very refreshing and nicely seasoned. Tuna was fresh and tender that it gently melts in your mouth with a nice initial chew. Banh Cuon 4/5 It was good but we wished there was more considering how much it was. Nuoc mam was delicious. Bo Luc Lac 4.5/5 This was an absolute banger. Beef was super tender with no struggle of a bite. Savory and delicious with slight sweetness from the tiny onions that melts with every bite. Potatoes cooked perfectly. Chinese Long Beans 4/5 Simple and delicious. We ordered it so we'd have some greens and fiber for a balance dinner. Lemon Grass Grilled Wings 4.5/5 Flavorful sauce, well balanced and the wings were juicy on the inside. It had a nice concentrated smokiness from the grilled marks. Great choice but wish there were more. Crab Fried Rice 3.5/5 This was good but it was too fishy the more you bite into it. It was too pungent and strong that it overwhelmed the dish. Was thinking it could be from the masago. Drinks 5/5 The cocktails are great and refreshing here. Our favorite was the Banh Bo Gimlet. Service 5/5 Staff are friendly and helpful. Also attentive to us as well. Ambience 5/5 Love the decoration and aesthetics of the restaurant. Coming back from Vietnam it feels like I somehow teleported back in an instant. We had a good experience overall even though a couple dishes didn't meet our expectations. Definitely try everything when you're visiting, but I highly recommend Bo Tai Chanh and Bo Luc Lac. Those two are what stood out to me. I'll definitely come back but on special occasions or if there's another sapphire reserve benefit since it's a little difficult to justify pricing for items on the menu.

My friends and I visited Anh Hong as a large group of 9 and we able to try out a wide variety of…read moretheir dishes. Some dishes were better prepared than others, but overall, the food was solid across the board. If you enjoy making your own spring rolls, you'll love the grilled pork skewers. The pork is super tender and has such a incredible flavor profile of lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, and more. Rolled up with the woven vermicelli noodles and fried wonton crisps in a rice paper, you get a wonderful combination of texture in a single bite. The other crowd favorite of the night was the bánh xèo -- the stuffed rice crepe. The bánh xèo here is by far the best one that I've ever had, even surpassing ones I had in Vietnam. The outside was insanely crispy and and was surprisingly not particularly oily, while the inside was loaded with fillings. Two other dishes that were well received by the group was the betel leaf wrapped grilled beef and the sugar cane shrimp. The beef had a very similar flavor profile as the pork, but the texture was a lot more lean. The shrimp had a bouncy, yet firm texture to it, and was very well-seasoned. My only qualm with the shrimp dish is that the sugarcane did not actually have any sweetness to it. There's fish sauce on the table along with a shrimp paste sauce, but to be honest, every dish we had was so flavorful on its own, the sauces aren't even needed. The only dish that we ordered that fell short was the grilled river shrimp. The presentation of the shrimp is impressive and very photogenic, but the flavor was lacking and the cook was inconsistent. Some people had shrimp that was undercooked -- borderline raw, and on the other end of the spectrum, others had shrimp that was so overcooked, that it was very difficult to remove the shrimp from the shell without completely tearing the meat. That said, everything else we ordered was well-prepared, and very tasty. Service was good throughout the meal, and I would definitely come back again for a meal with a large group. 4.5 experience rounding up to a 5.

GAO Viet has been on my radar for a while, and after finally stopping in for dinner with my wife…read moreand father in law, I can definitely understand the hype! The restaurant was absolutely PACKED when we arrived, so be prepared for a lively and bustling atmosphere. Despite how busy it was, our server Nancy was fantastic. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. With a restaurant that crowded, it's easy for service to feel rushed or impersonal, but Nancy managed to make our experience feel genuinely welcoming. We ordered the Big GAO Pho, What the Duck, and the lemongrass tofu with rice. The Big GAO Pho definitely lives up to its name. The massive beef rib sitting in the bowl immediately grabs your attention, but thankfully it wasn't just for show. The broth was incredibly rich, savory, and oily in the best possible way. This isn't a light and delicate pho broth. It's bold, hearty, and unapologetically rich. Come hungry! The What the Duck was probably my favorite dish of the evening. The roast duck was incredibly flavorful and rich, but what really elevated the dish were the sliced mangoes and pickled carrots. That little bit of sweetness, acidity, and freshness cut beautifully through the fattiness of the duck and kept the dish from becoming too heavy. Paired with their special rice, every bite had a little something different going on. The lemongrass tofu was another solid dish. The tofu was pleasantly spiced with plenty of aromatic lemongrass flavor, although it was a little heavy on the bell peppers and onions for my preference. Still, it was a tasty option and provided a nice contrast to the much richer meat dishes. Overall, GAO Viet delivers big flavors, creative Vietnamese dishes, and portions that aren't afraid to make a statement. Some of the food definitely leans toward the richer and heavier side, and the packed dining room can get pretty hectic, but neither would stop me from coming back. Between that enormous beef rib, the surprisingly well balanced What the Duck, and Nancy's genuinely wonderful hospitality, GAO Viet earned a solid 4/5 from me. Definitely worth experiencing at least once, and I'd happily return to explore more of the menu.

The broth was clean, rich, and full of flavor without being overly salty. Every sip had that slow-simmered taste you're hoping for. The meats tasted fresh, the meatballs had a great texture, and the herbs arrived crisp and vibrant. The chicken pho was equally satisfying with tender, juicy chicken and a comforting broth that didn't need much dressing up. Portions were generous, prices were fair, and the service was quick and friendly. This is the kind of neighborhood pho spot you find yourself wanting to come back to. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Francisco. If you're craving a solid, authentic bowl of pho, this place is well worth the stop.

The last two Saturdays in San Francisco have been not as sunny as people want them to be. One thing I always like to get in those days soup. When the sun is down I go to get Pho Ga at a Vietnamese restaurant. So I decide to pay An Chi a visit. On a weekend stroll on Geary boulevard in SF I landed at An Chi. Inside there is plenty of seating and it has an interesting and welcoming decor. The menu has everything from Banh Mi to different Buns like Bun Rieu to Bun Cha Gio Ga Nuong. I decided to get Garlic Noodle with Five Spice chicken. The noodles were like Angel hair but with a garlicky taste. I then I got the Pho Ga and the broth was tasty and it was refreshing .

We ordered the lemongrass chicken satay ($14) and it came with two small skewers on a bed of lettuce. Similarly, the crispy rice paper roll ($14) came with two tiny spring rolls cut in half, so four total bites. I wish I took pictures to back this up. We had 5 people in our party so we either had to cut everything up into smaller pieces or forgo a portion. The roast crab was great but also quite small for $88 (you can get a bigger crab at R&G Lounge for less). We've lived in the neighborhood for years and were so excited to finally try this famous restaurant but sadly will not be coming back due to how expensive it was for tiny portions.
