    Listen, it's taken me a while to get to this Tendernob place. I enjoy a hearty bowl of pho ga and have found my favorites like Pho Ga out on Noriega (review: https://yelp.to/HD-RV4FKRA) and Golden Lotus in Little Saigon (review: https://yelp.to/RHKY1aveLM). But, hey, I'm an open-minded pho slurper, and I can always add another favorite if the business warrants such a lofty designation. I came in one afternoon and was their only customer. It was no surprise I ordered the $14.95 Chicken Noodle Soup (Photo 7). That's their pho ga in case you were wondering, and I first have to admit I was a bit bummed that they didn't offer gizzards, livers, and hearts as optional add-ons. I'm an innards type of guy but not here. When it arrived, the pho itself was decent with plenty of chicken with the skin left intact. A plus for my taste, and the noodles had a pretty good chew. Really nothing outstanding about the broth, but I did finish it. Nothing much else to say since the manager was chatting with her friend throughout my time here. FOOD - 3 stars...decent, no-frills pho ga AMBIANCE - 3 stars...nothing fancy in here, spacious enough SERVICE - 3 stars...didn't feel the love myself TOTAL - 3 stars...workaday Vietnamese spot on Geary amid a lot of other choices in the 'hood RELATED - Exploring the Tenderloin?

    The front having a computer set up for the owner's kids to play told me all I needed to know about the place. No homework was being done during my time there but I'm sure it's a rite of passage the kid has gone through before :) Owner's were friendly and food came out quick and was a good portion for the price.

    First impression: a nice humble restaurant with a few tables and chairs a billiards table, an altar and a nice china cabinet. The food: Rare Beef Pho, the broth is super rich without being overly salty or heavy. Really tremendous all on its own, no siracha, hoisin or chili sauce needed! But I just had to add some siracha for a little hint of sweetness and some spice. Sooooo goood. I'm traveling from out of town and while we were walking around looking for another Viet Restaurant we found out they only take cash. And I had none. We meandered around looking for other options when we were graced with Pho 808 and I don't regret it! The lady running the place, is graceful, quick and attentive. I'll definitely come back here when I'm back in SF!

    A solid place to grab some pho at affordable prices. The broth really hit the spot. The noodles were also good too.

    Pho,shrimp spring rolls and imperial rolls

    Very good spot for pho I also had their spring rolls and imperial rolls very flavorful,the lady there is very nice not sure if it's her son or grandson that cooks in the kitchen but the food is good and worth your money,it gives small pop and shop vibes,family owned vibes.

    Service was nice, my soup was amazing but the establishment can use a good cleaning. I didn't like sitting next to dusty furniture and a dusty window sill while eating my soup. Every time I moved the dust moved. The soup isn't the best I've had but it was good for sure. I had the beef pho

    My view from table

    I've been hanging in San Francisco a bit & taking advantage of all the Vietnamese restaurants & unfortunately they are in some pretty raunchy neighborhoods but it didn't deter me from going. So off I go for dinner while there is still daylight. The restaurant is absent of any ambience, plastic table cloths, typical low budget decor and too much clutter exposed. The altar with their diety had clutter surrounding it too. It's a pretty large space so there is lots of excess stuff. Now the food, I ordered a beef combo with vermicelli, it comes in a large bowl with a couple greasy vegetable rolls. As I was eating & challenged myself with chopsticks I found all the glorious salad, mint & cucumbers at the bottom of the bowl and if I didn't dig a little I would not have been able to include them in my bite size morsels. It made the meal more satisfying. This place gets good reviews for the food, portions & price.

    Came here on a Wednesday, and got seated immediately. Ordered the pho ga & the rare steak/well done flank pho and both were delicious! The broth was rich & warm. Service was fast & very polite. Both bowls about $15 each & generous portions. Would definitely go again for some good inexpensive pho.

    Came here on Friday evening and got a table straight away for two. Ambiance is casual and good for quick meal. I had the vermicelli bowl with shrimp and egg roll and it was very tasty and good portion size. Husband got pho with rare beef and flank. The flank pieces were a bit too fatty compared to other places. Broth was tasty. One of the better places for a cheap and cheerful Vietnamese meal in the city!

    I ordered barbecue pork with egg roll and vermicelli rice. It came in a very big bowl. They served me hot tea. Very flavorful fish sauce, is served the long side. Delicious food everyone come here. The owner Shih shion wu it's very nice and polite.

    This is more a review for the food. I liked the food pictures and reviews I saw on Yelp so I put in for a delivery. I can say the food was delicious and they do read the instructions you put on your order. Mine was, "No plastic utensils, but two pairs of chopsticks is most appreciated. Plenty of napkins and lots of hot mustard. Other condiments not needed." Delivery was within 35 minutes. I would totally order delivery from them again.

    I love this place !!! It only 5 minutes walk from my Apt. I came here to eat after a hard day of work. It was cold outside but the beef noodle soup was really tasty and make my body and heart full with warm love. The owners were so sweet and nice to me. Of course the food were super delicious ! Everything is so clean. I feel so good so comfortable eating here.

    Still one of my favorite high-end Vietnamese restaurants. This is not the place to go if you're…read morelooking for that hangover bowl of pho. This is meant to scintillate your taste buds. Restaurant is very clean, and service is quick (almost too quick where the food started coming all at once and the drinks were nowhere to be found). - Banh Cuon - 10/10 one of my go-to dishes - Gao Roll Sampler - easy to share with a group, would skip next time - Banh Khot - first time getting it last time and it was excellent. would get again - Shaking Beef - beef is super tender. definitely get this over the garlic noodles + beef - Vermicelli Bowl - classic, would skip for one of their other dishes - Bun Cha - would choose this over the vermicelli bowl - Pho - I didn't get it last time I was there, but the pho broth is very rich and delicious. it's hard to share, but split amongst 2-3 people, you can make it work

The servers were attentive and the food came out pretty quickly. Chubby pho - overall, pretty decent pho but the broth could have been more flavorful. 3.5/5 Garlic noodles 3-ways - the five spice chicken was so good! 4/5 Lychee coconut freeze - a refreshing slushy drink, but kind of on the heavy side. And the lychee flavor felt a bit overpowered by the coconut flavor. I recommend you stir it before drinking. 3.5/5
