    Grilled Chicken Vermicelli Bowl
    Jen T.

    Got two vermicelli bowls after climbing nearby at Mission Cliffs. The food was fresh and very tasty, but seemed a tiny bit pricey for the serving size. Guess that's SF for you. It also took a little while to make because it's just the one lady who serves as chef and front of house. If you've got some extra time and want a tasty meal while supporting a small local business, check this place out! Really enjoyed the grilled pork and imperial rolls, and the spice level was perfect.

    Beef Vermicelli Bowls

    We got baited by the supposedly great score on yelp, but the food at the restaurant is not good at all. The owner of the restaurant is a sweet Asian lady, but regardless, the food is not 4.5 stars. The beef vermicelli was bland and the beef was so dry, it was like eating jerky. For this beef pho, the broth tasted like a wonton soup. If you've never had Vietnamese food before, then sure try it out. If you want real authentic Vietnamese food, this ain't the place.

    It's alright for the limited choice of Vietbamese food in the mission. For 16 dollars and the quality you get, it's definitely on the pricy side.

    Pho Beef.  Soup is real tasty, but look at that cut of meat, the lack of onions, and the missing sides??

    "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.

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.

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.

Ordering with the waiter was quick enough - you have an option to pick cold or hot soy milk instead of just water. We must have waited at least 15-20 minutes for the food this day and saw one person sit down at first but later change his order to go. Seems it was a one-off. Ambience is a basic family-run Chinese diner. Street parking directly in front is metered, but if you venture further out on the perpendicular streets into the residential areas, I'd guess that you may find free parking.

Service, at least upstairs in the large but rather austere room, was done by a very direct waitress who seemed to be either used to culling tourists, or was being very direct about the menu, possibly both? We were essentially told to order garlic noodles, crab, beef, veggies, and not much else. Now to be fair those dishes were all good to excellent, particularly the crab and the garlic noodles, with friends absolutely raving about both. Seafood fried rice was good as well, although portions (aside from the crab) were not large, so expect to order more dishes than you might expect. The overall meal was very tasty, the physical vibe worked, but the menu felt more limited than expected, and combined with the terrible parking in the area, it didn't feel like the exceptional meal that was hyped.
