This was just ok: Beef Pho…read more The beef pho was pretty meh. The broth had some flavor and the beef was fine, but nothing really stood out. The noodles were also a little chewier than I'm used to. Overall, it was just a very average bowl of pho, which was disappointing. Service was fine. They were courteous with the greens and gave us plenty, but that was about the only thing that stood out. I personally wouldn't come back for the pho. The restaurant itself is medium-sized with enough tables and chairs to accommodate a decent crowd. Nothing particularly memorable about the space. I really wish I had ordered something else because the pho just didn't do it for me. #goodeats

It's so nicely lit - Great for a date or 1-1 catchup - The crab fat fried rice was amazing! - I also really liked the vermicelli dish but it was so small - the sauce was so good!

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.

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.

We ended up coming here because, after waiting quite a while at another nearby restaurant and still not being seated, we decided to take a chance on this place. Unfortunately, it didn't pay off. At half the price, I could at least say you get what you pay for. At these prices, the quality simply doesn't justify the cost. Not really surprised there wasn't a line outside like there was at the other place.

The noodles had the perfect texture, the broth was so good and comforting, and the braised duck leg was super tender. I also love that we can get both ho fun AND egg noodles because why choose when I can have both? Another little bonus -- every noodle bowl comes with a free soy milk, but make sure to ask for it!

Hot soy milks is always a plus. My friends and I came on a Saturday just after noon. It was pretty packed, so we had a longer wait to be seated and for our food to come out. 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.

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 . The noodles were fresh and chicken was tender. Overall a great place to grab Vietnamese food in SF. It feels the Fall has already "begun" when there are days in the Summer where there is barely any "sun "and some visitors and tourists get surprise and some are "stun"but you can get something warm like some some Pho along with some "bun" Go to Geary which is a boulevard and not a "street"where they serve lemon grass and bbq "meat" the Summer in SF isn't always sunshine and trying to hide from the "heat"it's also enjoying Pho and garlic noodles which are like Angel hair because An Chi is a good place to "eat"

The staff were both friendly and attentive; they even jumped in immediately to help another table with a spill, which was great to see. We ordered our usual, banh khot. Although this time it wasn't as crispy as I remembered, more fluffier this time, it still satisfied our cravings. We did have to ask for cilantro though since it didn't come with it. Also ordered the grilled pork vermicelli with egg roll. It was a big portion. It came with 2 pieces of thin but big pieces of grilled pork. The pork and dipping sauce was on the more sweeter side. Still need to try their Banh xeo next time.

Amazing service - We felt that we were very well attended to. We didn't have to flag anyone for service. It's as if they know exactly when to check on you. The lighting was soft creating an environment of warmth and the HVAC system did its job of keeping everyone comfortable. Great balance. One valuable tip - if you do not already know - fork in some garlic noodles into the crab shell so the pasta gets coated with the mustard colored crab fat.

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.
