My friends and I were on the pursuit for Pho and stumbled upon Perilla. After about 5 mins of trying to tell the cashier we wanted a chicken pho dish he rang up fried chicken dish I was a bit confused stunned by my encounter with the cashier he had AirPods in and completely messed up our order even after trying to explain we wanted pho. I gave up and ordered the spring roll instead Surprisedly delish! Service was odd, food was delish. read more

I ordered take out from Perilla. You can t call them anymore for take out which is odd. I ordered from GrubHib because the other apps Uber Eats and DoorDash do not offer a basic broth add on. I got beef with garlic noodles with imperial roll and broth. I was disappointed that the imperial roll was actually a veggie egg roll yuck. I remember imperial roll with ground meat and woodear mushrooms and some noodles. This was not. Bland as well. The beef was ok and broth was hot and salty. I've been going to Perilla for a long time but iAd the food prices go up I also observe that their quality is going down and hence my rating. Pick up the phone so you can understand my order.

Perilla - Beef with garlic noodles with "imperial roll" but was really veggie egg roll and side of broth - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I went here on a Thursday night and it was relatively super busy! As a result we got our food a little later than expected but it was delicious and 100% worth the wait! There was a good mix of pickups and dine-in orders and it seemed they were not staffed adequately to handle the volume. Nevertheless, once we got it, the food was delicious and I can't wait to return maybe on a less busy day. read more

Love the garlic noodles with five spice chicken, great flavor combination. I add imperial rolls for appetizer to share. Ordered delivery and meal of : "five-spice chicken with garlic noodles", "five-spice chicken with vermicelli", Imperial rolls, Shrimp spring rolls. Meals came with sauces for dipping. Shrimp Spring rolls -fresh Imperial Rolls -crispy "Five-Spice Chicken" - tasty was nicely prepared. Garlic Noodles - my favorite! Overall I find the dishes delicious, I only remove a star because they entrees and imperial rolls are very greasy. Will continue to order from Perilla. Enjoy! read more

This is one of my favorite spots to get take out! Their garlic noodles with five spice chicken doesn't miss and the beef papaya salad is delicious yet interesting combo. Portions are hefty and packaging is well done. I've only dined in at their location on Irving but I still prefer ordering takeout from the Haight street location. It's a convenient location and the space feels more open. Pick up is very quick and easy, fast service. read more

A Vietnamese place that does the job if you're craving pho! Ordered a classic beef brisket pho and finished it in less than 10 minutes. I surprise myself lol Thought the portion size was slightly small and slightly pricey for pho ~$22 including tax and tip. The sunset location is better too, but gotta make do when there's not many options in the area! read more

This is one of the good or decent place to eat if you're in the area. Or after your tattoo session at Idle Hand (the best tattoo shop in the city, Holly Ellis you are amazing) few yards away. I had the chicken and garlic noodle which I quite enjoyed and for the price I thought it was a pretty good value. Service was kind, I was welcomed and treated warmly. Ambiance was basic neighborhood eatery where you can come as you are as often as possible (as long you pay of course). read more

Perilla - Chicken and garlic noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sigh. I eat from here a bunch as it is right by my house, and generally call in a pickup order. I made the unfortunate decision tonight to veer away from my normal orders and also ate in house. I got the Curry Chicken Garlic Noodles, which are apparently a completely different format from all the other garlic noodle dishes. The noodles were in a curry sauce, completely obfuscating the normal garlic and butter flavors. Additionally, the chicken in this dish was in huge chunks that didn't have a kiss of the grill. Overall, the dish was gigantic but really monotonous and bland mushy noodles. From the dine in perspective, the amount of couriers mobbing the place makes it chaotic to both order and even sit, I know this is a problem with gig delivery in general, but they need to wrangle it into the corner better and probably adjust their fire times in the system. I will definitely be back and hopefully will upgrade this to three stars when I get my normal 5 spice chicken garlic noodle order in house. read more

I decided to come to Perilla because it was only 10 minutes away from my place and I loved the food there. The five spice chicken with garlic noodles has to be one of my favorite dishes.

Small, order at the counter establishment that also has indoor seating. The five spice chicken is best fresh while it still has that crispy skin. Garlic noodles were oily and aromatic, just the way I like it. Wish they were more generous with their sides of broccoli! read more

Ordered delivery and was pleasantly surprised. Great food and generous portions compared to other similar places so this place moves to the top of my repeat list. The tofu spring rolls were great, the chicken cabbage salad and the beef and garlic noodles were also really good. The beef was a bit on the chewy side but the flavor was nice. I'm grateful the food was very good bc I still have enough for 2 to 3 more meals. read more

The amount of times I've had delicious food from Perilla is countless. It's a spot that keeps reeling you back in for a happy comfort meal. The pho, garlic noodles, and rolls are made to perfection. The portion sizes are very big. Service is super friendly and quick. Personally, I wish they had tripe but that's not everyone's favourite. The garlic noodles with the crispy chicken skin is the best dish but be warned it's a bit heavy and oily. read more

Food was phenomenal! Ordered twice on doordash, one pickup order and one delivery. The delivery order arrived on time no complaints. Food portions are large, enough to split one garlic noodle plate for two! My pickup went really smooth, this location is inclined for delivery orders (they're popular!) so kindness and graciousness are due for the staff. They were extremely kind and considerate while I waited to grab my order. If you give kindness it's much easier to receive it! I wish them continued success and I hope they are able to optimize their flow to cater to their clientele (maybe reservations and hire a greater server for those guests who want to eat in?) Easily a favorite of mine in the bay! read more

This place is a great casual spot for Vietnamese food if you're ordering out or even eating at the restaurant. I ordered the imperial rolls and garlic noodles with five spice chicken. The imperial rolls were really crunchy and the filling was so flavorful. It had a perfect fried flavor! If I went again, I'd want to try the vermicelli with the imperial rolls. The garlic noodles were delicious (you can't really go wrong with garlic noodles though). The five spice chicken was also very tender and has great flavor. read more

Perilla - Curry Chicken Garlic Noodles with egg - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

I really enjoyed the fresh rolls! They're super simple, with just "silver noodles, bean sprouts, lettuce, and mint" + choice of protein wrapped in rice paper. When I ordered, I asked for light noodles and extra mint -- and they were perfect! The Garlic Noodles are also fantastic with a perfect texture. On the other hand, I thought the Imperial Rolls and the papaya salad were kind of bland and boring. I've been here twice, and the first time the beef was really good and flavorful, but the second time it was tough and bland. They have a steady stream of customers/Dashers picking up food, which I view as a good sign! read more

Outstanding food, we really enjoyed the pho and the vermicelli. Also recommend the avocado roll. We actually ate in at the restaurant, but it appears to largest part of their business is take out. The staff were great and very informed on their menu items. read more

My boyfriend and I love Perilla!! The garlic noods are so good here - a must try! Personally, I prefer the Beef garlic noods over the 5 spice chicken bc the beef they use is more lean. The Pho Tai is also solid. The beef was so tender and there was a lot of beef in it! Service is also sooo good!! The servers are so attentive and constantly refilled our tea. The restaurant is has a home-y and comfortable vibe. Nothing super fancy but the food is unbeatable! read more

tldr; worth the hype! get the imperial rolls and 5 spice chicken Have only heard good things about Perilla, so I had to swing by. Delivery seems very popular (and efficient) here, but dine-in is just as pleasant. - Imperial Rolls: Crispy and soft, and delicious with sriracha or nuoc cham. - 5 Spice Chicken Satay Pho: Huge portion! Soup is reminiscent of bun bo hue but not spicy. The 5 spice chicken was perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. The restaurant is spacious and good for small groups! read more

Holding out on the vermicelli noodles is not good for a Vietnamese salad. Having mostly lettuce and prawns instead of noodles is NOT a Vietnamese salad. I was disappointed with quantity and the price.I also ordered a Thai iced tea that advertised that it included boba, but when I received it, there was no boba. They should change their pictures on their website and other marketing photos. read more

Perilla - Prawns Vermicelli (barely any noodles) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great local spot and happy it's close by. I was craving pho and stopped in with a friend. Pho was flavorful and broth really tasty. Noodles were good texture and not too soft. Lots of beef in the soup and portion was large and filling. The restaurant was busy with lots of takeout orders and had filled up inside with seating as well. There was plenty of basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and limes on the side plate which I appreciated. Service was decent for as busy as it was and everyone was friendly. read more

Good without being amazing is what I'd call this place. Menu has a variety of Vietnamese food available from rolls, vermicelli, pho, and rice dishes. Highlight would be the rolls. Chicken is extremely crispy and tasty but I wish the sides were more interesting so next time I'd get a vermicelli bowl. Pho was decent. This restaurant had a continuous flow of customers on Saturday evening, but the turnaround time is pretty fast for food. Service okay. Ambiance is pleasant for a casual meal. read more

Excellent garlic noodles! But be-ware vegetarians since their noodles are unfortunately cooked in chicken broth :( but man do they taste delicious. Optimal for takeout since dining is closed. The fresh rolls and spring rolls are quite delicious and my friends enjoyed the beef pho! I ordered the mixed veg and curry garlic noodles which were delish! read more

Went there last night for a quick dinner before an event. The soup I ordered was the Satay Combo - which is a twist from their original pho making it a nice fusion dish. The portion was really large (I asked for half noodles and it was more than enough) and the flavours were on point. Will come back for more! Ambiance is very casual Vietnamese. read more

Perilla - Satay Beef Combo Ramen with Beef and Brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Good food, reasonably priced I used a Groupon deal for this takeout only order and although the food was delicious the service was not a 5-star experience. I called in our order and was given an estimated pick up time of 30 mins. We arrived at the time he stated and the food was there at the counter waiting for us. Great! The guy who rang us up was not too friendly and it was difficult to understand him. We used our Groupon, paid for the balance with a card and we were out of there. The food was still warm when we arrived at our motel (some 2.5 miles, 12-min, drive to the Marina District). We placed two orders of the Charbroiled Pork Chops Rice Plate. It came with two pork chops, steamed broccoli and a huge amount of jasmine rice. The pork chops were soft and it complimented well with the nuoc cham, that tangy Vietnamese dipping sauce they gave us. That sweet, sour, and salty sauce had an irresistible mixture of flavors. Hubby and I both enjoyed the food. Oh, also, we had to ask for plastic utensils because they don't automatically give them to you. They are located in the Lower Haight neighborhood in San Francisco. At this time during COVID restrictions they are only doing delivery or takeout. Review #2081 read more

The Garlic noodles were on point! I also ordered the imperial rolls got 1 cut in half for 2 pieces. The 5 spices or spice chicken had no flavor whatsoever except the Garlic that spilled off my noodles. I also bought a Thai tea that was good but it came with a paper straw that was so old/ brittle I broke apart! No sides of jalapeños nor schiracha sauce.. I don't think I will return. read more

We decided to try this place because our friends love this place. They have great vegetarian options for our friends. The garlic noodles was unbelievable yummy. The chicken was moist, well-flavored and crispy skin. I'm drooling just looking back at this picture! The beef plate was really good too but it would have been even better if paired with the garlic noodles which seemed to have butter in it. There's no service so order at the counter and grab a table if you decide to dine in. Would highly recommend this place! read more

Ordered take-out from Perilla over the phone and picked up half an hour later. Ordered 5-spice chicken with garlic noodles ($13.95), beef with vermicelli ($12.75), shrimp summer rolls ($8.95), and imperial rolls ($8.95). Each order came with its own sauce, either nuoc cham (the sweet vinegar sauce) or peanut sauce. Each order was a generous portion, but the shrimp summer rolls were a bit skimpy on the shrimp. They were plump, but only because of all the vermicelli included. This order was just for two of us, so we definitely have enough for at least another meal each (tomorrow's lunch!!). All the food was delicious and on point (except for the skimpiness of the shrimp in the summer rolls), so we'd definitely order from them again. read more

Service was fast. The server was kind and efficient. Not an upscale restaurant but it's clean. I ordered the raw beef pho. The beef had great flavor and was some of the most tender beef I've had in pho. The broth was flavorful as well!! We also ordered 5 spice chicken pho which was amazing. The chicken comes on the side and is crispy! The soup had broccoli in it, which was a first for us. Nonetheless, it was yummy. The imperial rolls were a miss. Lacking flavor. Tasted like they were frozen ones you would buy at a gas station. They didn't have the oil chili to add a kick to your food which would have been nice. read more

Perilla - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Perilla Ratings: 3.4/5 Food: 3/5 - I had visited many Vietnamese places in SF seeking for the best 5-Spice Chicken dish, and it's now confirmed that Perilla is on the lower end of my ratings. It was an very average meal, and not satisfying taste wise. My boyfriend and I got the same thing, but he has vermicelli noodles instead. You can read the description of the meal I got below. - Five Spice Chicken [GET]: The chicken thigh was okay, marinated well with spices, but the edge pieces and chicken skin were burnt and hard to chew. I can only enjoyed the inner pieces, and they were not that juicy or fatty to begin with. I think they have overcooked it a bit. The jasmine rice was solid though, well-cooked and chewy. Also, I wished they gave me pickled radishes as my side rather than some steamed cold broccoli, because it added no extra flavors to the dish besides health, LOL. Make sure to pour the sauce on everything, so the rice and the chicken can soaked up more flavors. Ambiance: 3.25/5 - Located on Haight Street across from Purple Rice. The interior is gloomy, dark, empty, and quiet. I got a very down-to-earth and mom-and-pop shop type of vibe. It is not as welcoming, and I wished it was brighter than I wanted. Another thing is the table is sticky, so was not pleased about it. Not the best place for dining in, but solid for take-outs. Price: 3.75/5 - The 5-Spice Chicken was around $15 per person after tax. The price is fair, but you can definitely get better 5-Spice Chicken elsewhere at a very similar price point in the Richmond. Service: 3.5/5 - The cashier is nice, and the kitchen staffs were able to make our food within 15 minutes after we ordered. We dined in, but it was more of a self-service type of place, but they will clean up when you are done though. Also, there's a water station, so you can help yourself to it. Not much interaction whatsoever, so if you are looking for somewhere that has attentive customer service, Perilla might not be the place for you. BLUF: An fast causal Vietnamese restaurant located on Haight Street. This is a local mom-and-pop shop, but not a hole-in-the-wall. If you are in the area, and craving for Viet food, then go ahead and give it a try, otherwise there's other options nearby that's probably better. I do not think I will return again. read more
