    Phong's Beef Bun Bo Hue (Spicy), Pho Dac Biet (Beef Combination), Salt & Pepper Tofu
    Erica C.

    This is the same place as the Pho de Nguyen in San Bruno. The spicy bun bo hue is delicious. It's the star of the show. It wasn't as spicy as a bowl you can get into San Jose but I was fine with that because it was flavorful. If I came back, I'd only come for the bun bo hue. The regular pho was solid. Skip the salt and pepper tofu. They didn't use soft tofu, so it was pretty hard to bite into. I do wish there was more noodle in both bowls , and I wish the broths were hotter. There were flies all around my table, but that's probably because the flies were attracted to the smell of the broths. I'd probably go back to the San Bruno location because there were no flies and better parking. Service was standard. They were attentive with the water. Total was $65+ for 3 dishes with tax

    Came here late on a Friday night and the vibe was great! Lots of people and good music. Definitely fit the right vibe for the night! The pho was pretty good. The broth really stood out to me and hit the right flavor notes. The noodles and meat also went very well with this. What really stood out to me here though was the service! Our waitress checked on us multiple times and made sure to let us know when the kitchen was closing. My one friend hadn't ordered anything and they offered to give him some free soup on the house, which was really nice. I will definitely want to come back and try some more food here!

    It's been a real treat to see Pho de Nguyen become an essential late-night spot in the SOMA neighborhood. With the lamps, warm and down-to-earth hospitality, and Friday DJ nights, this is a go-to spot for pho and bun bo hue whenever I'm craving a bowl of hearty flavor. I especially appreciate the high quality of the brisket. The staff here are also really kind and have their heart in the place! Shout-out to chef Phung for connecting with us customers and his dedication to creating community in the neighborhood.

    Good food and good vibes. I came here before the rush hour. Got their Combo Pho (Dac Biet), broth was flavorful and their filet mignon beef was . They have high chair for toddlers. Vietnamese coffee if you need a pick me up. Loved that they were playing old school Canto Pop, hah, made me feel at home. Check em out, byeee. -ig@blacktigereats

    I think this was a 3-3.5. I came late during a lunch break around midnight. This place is great for late night. Hard to find good soup anywhere around this time in San Francisco. Taste for the pho was ok. It wasn't spectacular but it wasnt bad. I dont feel that it warrants a 19 dollar price tag. You get a lot of broth to noodle/food ratio. I did like the fried springrolls as they used the clear wrapper however there wasnt enough fish sauce and it came with a 15 dollar price tag. For one person expect to pay 40-50 dollars. Service was nice however the water is unfiltered tap water, so bring your own if you want to have a different taste. They never refilled my water so that was a little frustrating. Music played with the explicit version of a 2000s mix. So that part was nice. One of the workers was just on facetime with I assume his girlfriend the whole time so maybe the reason I couldnt get more water. I tipped well because I was seated right away. Everything is essentially self service. You order and pay online. Otherwise you are left alone.

    Came because of the reviews but was disappointed. The staff is friendly and the table included a QR code so you can see the menu and download the app to order. We tried the pho but the broth was not as savory as expected and the texture of the noodles was off. The place had several small tables that were a little crowded but were ok. We went right before 10pm so it wasn't crowded.

    Bun Bo hue, spicy and delicious
    Alex R.

    The food was fantastic, i ordered the bun Bo hue which is a spicy pork broth mixed with beef. It was delicious. I also wanted to try the raw guar cane juice and it was also very good, taste like coconut water. The service was easy you just scan a QR code at your table and order from your phone. The ambiance was great as well.

    We flew in from San Diego area and stoped by after a night out when we were seriously craving some pho and it did not disappoint. The fact that they're open very late makes it even better. The pho was exactly what we needed: hot, flavorful, and comforting. The broth was delicious and really hit the spot. There's just something about a warm bowl of pho late at night that hits differently! What really stood out, though, was how nice the owner was. He genuinely cared about his customers and took the time to talk with us and get to know us. You could tell he really takes pride in the restaurant and wants people to have a good experience. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference. So glad we stumbled upon this place! If you're out late and craving pho or a comforting bowl of soup, definitely give this spot a try. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

    Best customer service. Food on point. Good vibe and amazing song. The chili was super delicious. Thank you. Would definitely recommend.

    Food 5/5 - mmm..mmm..hmm--this place hit the spot! Things ordered: 1. Pho combination--it was very good broth, not too much salt either. It was delish!!! 2. Thai tea--refreshing! 3. Spring roll-this was very fresh and by far the best tasting spring roll I had in a restaurant. The peanut butter sauce really hit that spot! Service 5/5 - The service was immediate, I only waited under 10 minutes. This Is a family owned restaurant. The lady gave me a extra refill Thai tea. Ambiance 5/5 -It was clean. Hard to find parking off 6th and Bryant or in that area but this Food Is worth it.

    The best meal we had in SF! The music was just as good as the food; the music was honestly better than our wedding dj. Immaculate 100/10 , would return! The garlic noodles are more sweet than savory fyi!

    Food is Immaculate the taste is out of this world. It might be the best banh mi I've ever had In my life but the food is not even the best part about this restaurant! The service is incredible! Staff is very helpful professional and sweet individuals who genuinely care about the service they provide. Not to mention the Ambiance was amazing too it felt very close and homey inside the restaurant, It feels like everyone is a family there especially when late night they have a DJ setup for music makes the whole experience extra intimate!

    Everything was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender, seasoned so well, and that garlic noodle was absolutely delicious. You can tell they put real love into their food. The portions are generous, the presentation is on point, and every bite was worth it! Loved everything we ordered!

We arrived about 30 minutes after opening and waited roughly another 30 minutes before we could order at the kiosk and get seated. The restaurant is very small with only about a dozen seats. You wait until a seat opens up before ordering, so depending on availability, you may end up sitting alongside other parties. The whole setup and atmosphere reminded me so much of the small soba restaurants I visited in Japan and added to how authentic the experience felt. I ordered the Tenzaru Soba with Omakase Tempura and was genuinely impressed. The soba portion was incredibly generous, and I left very full. The noodles were some of the most authentic soba I've had in California, and I ate every last bit. Everything felt simple, carefully made, and satisfying. Parking is street parking only, but we were able to find a spot nearby and walk over. I would absolutely come back to Sobakatsu, just with the expectation that there may be a wait.

Even though they have many locations, this was our first time trying Marufuku. Our waitress was very helpful in her suggestions on what we should try for our first visit. We ended up getting the Tonkotsu Dx, one regular, one spicy. Both very delicious. What stood out is the tonkotsu broth, nice rich flavor, without feeling heavy. The Dx gives you a nice amount of toppings. I really enjoyed the thick pork belly that comes with the Dx. It's different than the usual thin cut pork belly. The bowl looks small, but there's a perfect ratio of noodles, toppings and broth. Noodles were cooked very well and the other toppings was good as well. The karaage was also delicious. No need for the sauce as the chicken was juicy and had a nice flavor to it and the right amount of crispiness to it. Overall a nice meal to have and delicious ramen.

Each dish came in just the right quantity, and it felt like there was a lot of thought put into every dish. Honestly, everything was delicious and worked really well together as a whole. The Hokkaido scallop was probably the best scallop I've ever had. It was a huge scallop that was lightly seared on the outside while still being raw inside, and the natural sweetness was incredible. The cabbage was another standout for me. It was perfectly crunchy with a great balance of savory and sweet flavors. The flavors throughout the meal definitely leaned more on the sweeter side, like the coconut curry with the scallop, the prawn salad dressing, and the cabbage sauce, but everything was really well balanced. I also really liked the guava sorbet. It was a perfect way to end the meal and paired nicely with the more burnt flavors of the other dessert. The presentation was really unique too, with all the plates and bowls having interesting shapes. The soup bowl especially looked like a giant clam shell, although it was pretty funny and slightly difficult to actually drink the soup out of. Definitely recommend.

The aroma of sizzling skewers over charcoal grills and soothing fragrance of lemongrass, Thai basil, and kaffir lime leaves drifting through the warm evening air. The rhythmic clatter of woks, the organized chaos of street vendors creating unforgettable meals from kitchens no bigger than a parking space. Oh...how I've longed to go back. And then, while walking the streets of San Francisco...I stumbled upon Bangkok Street Thai Street Food. No passport. No jet lag....Just an empty stomach and a healthy appetite. Our meal began with the Chicken Satay, and what a way to start. The chicken was beautifully grilled, tender, and lightly charred around the edges. But the real star was the silky peanut sauce paired with the bright cucumber relish. Rich, nutty, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced with a refreshing crunch, it was the kind of appetizer that makes everyone at the table quietly reach for "just one more skewer." Next came the Green Curry. One thing I appreciate is that they let you choose your own level of heat. Whether you prefer a gentle warmth or a full Thai spice adventure, the kitchen happily accommodates. Beneath the spice was a wonderfully creamy coconut curry layered with fresh herbs and deep aromatic flavors that made every spoonful comforting yet vibrant. Then came the dish no Thai meal should ever be without...Pad Thai. Simple on paper, difficult to master and Bangkok Street gets it right. The rice noodles were cooked perfectly--not too soft, not too firm--and coated in a beautifully balanced tamarind sauce that delivered the ideal combination of sweetness, acidity, and savory depth. Every bite kept inviting the next, to the point where ordering a second plate actually seemed like a perfectly reasonable life decision. Somewhere between the satay, the curry, and the Pad Thai...something unexpected happened. We completely forgot to take pictures! Not one. No overhead food shots. No "wait, don't touch it yet" moments. No social media evidence that we were ever there. That's usually the highest compliment I can give a restaurant. When the food is so good that everyone forgets about their phones, you know the kitchen has everyone's full attention. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But the flavors at Bangkok Street Thai Street Food create a culinary memory that lasts far longer than anything saved to your camera roll. Overall: 4 stars. Fresh ingredients, beautifully balanced flavors, thoughtful spice levels, and comforting Thai classics prepared with care. From the outstanding Chicken Satay and fragrant Green Curry to a Pad Thai that showcases the magic of a well-crafted tamarind sauce, Bangkok Street Thai Street Food captures the spirit of Bangkok one delicious plate at a time. Come hungry...and Go Big!!!
