    Pho Huong Vietnamese Restaurant Review I wanted to give Pho Huong a try, and while there were a few positives, the food was just okay for me. The chicken in the pho looked a little questionable, and the noodles tasted slightly undercooked. The broth wasn't bad it was piping hot, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean, and there was decent parking, which was a plus. Overall, I think there's room for improvement with the food, but the service and cleanliness were good.

    Rare flank steak pho was pretty good.

    As expected northern style pho, with enough but subtle flavors for one to enjoy. Came here on a recommendation and it didn't disappoint. Kind of low key place in the area and totally accessible by transit with a little walk. I got the house bowl with rare steak flank. Very beefy and decent amount of noodles. I got the regular bowl and it was a good size for me. If you want something more filling, get the large. Can't really say there was really much service though. Straight-forward of taking your order, then they just send the order to the kitchen. You don't really get staff at your table until you're ready to pay your bill. It is maybe border pricier, with a bowl of pho rounding to about $21-$24 (with tip). Worth it if you haven't tried northern pho.

    A savory northern style pho that's delicious every time! Lots of ways to customize and I love adding some of the pickled garlic vinegar and sriracha. Good service and decent prices. One of my favorite pho spots and apparently everyone else's (it's never empty in here!)

    Pho Huong Viet brings a unique northern style menu to SF. Their beef broth is light and flavorful. We also had the chicken dry noodle, tasty with lots of different textures from the garnishes + chewy texture of the clear noodles. It does get busy here and with a very small staff, it can be a bit of wait for your food. Portions are slightly on the smaller side - order a L for your typical pho serving.

    Food was solid, but the service was questionable. Since it was my first time ordering, I made a small mistake when explaining my order and the server responded in a very condescending manner. It definitely made me feel uncomfortable asking questions. The food was solid, the broth was savory, aromatic, and full of flavor, but I don't think I'd consider coming back.

    Coming here midweek for a reunion lunch with some neighborhood friends, I felt like I was dining at a new restaurant. One guest arrived early and saved us a table in the front dining room against the right wall. When our party of 5 was complete, we studied the menus. Only one guest had not dined here previously. In sharing experiences, I trusted a fellow guest in trying fhe Charming chicken pho (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=rhevocqlqoNUf6XxsZDgAw), medium, light and flavorful chicken bone broth soup made with fresh flat rice noodles, sprinkles with green onions and hand selected free-range chicken; the menu states the default is thigh and breast meat. Here's a photo after the noodle pull (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=wfWfPhJ5jMjJ14HwQS8kcw). The flavors were clean and warming, perfect for a foggy, breezy Richmond District afternoon. I was curious about a condiment bottle on every table and asked what it was. Being adventurous, one guest and I tried the chili garlic vinegar (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=SKami7Eb_e1mU6PMhTpDFw), adding it to our broth. Bomb. We both tasted some from our soup soon before adding it to our different broths, beef for her and chicken for mine. We agreed that the vinegar elevated both of our dishes. We even bit into the garlic pieces and they were delicious. We also shared two orders of the fried crab spring rolls (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=N8GxHikbCAozj0CPRyI6pw), 4 pieces = 2 rolls cut in half; since we were five guests, we got two orders so that everyone would get a piece and three people had extras. This was well done and the sweet and sour sauce complemented this well. There was only one open table in the front section and a couple of diners in the rear dining room. The owner took our orders while another gentleman brought our food and cleared our empty plates and bowls. Service was courteous and down home. I only now noticed that it's been four years since my 1st visit. I will have a tough decision on my next visit whether to have the beef or chicken as both were good. That's a good thing.

    DO NOT EAT HERE. They re-use half eaten meatballs. Before my mom got to eat her pho and she was going through it, there was a meatball already bitten into it The server/owner was terrible and made us wait 30 minutes to order. When told about the meatball he blamed us and said it's just how they cut the ball, when there are clearly teeth marks in it. Do not eat here

    Delicious Northern Vietnames restaurant with a tailored menu of 9 items but they all taste amazing. Of course, we recommend getting the pho (which has the disclaimer that bean sprouts and typical herbs won't be provided). It's a rather small restaurant, so you may have to wait a bit, but food is prepared quickly and is full of flavor!

    Good pho and homemade soy milk! Broth is flavorful and comforting. Service is pretty quick considering how packed it is. Expect a bit of a wait at peak hours.

    Great place for dry style pho. Came here with friends on a Friday evening after work. We were informed that they ran out of chicken, so we substituted our items with beef. The food was all lovely - I had a beef pho with flank and meatballs. The flavor was there and the price was reasonable. My partner had the dry style and it was very flavorful and rich. I'd come back here for a simple bowl of pho.

    Dry Chicken Pho # 3

    Dry pho?? Who knew that was even a thing? I didn't--until now. The noodles come in one bowl with sauce and toppings, and the broth is served on the side. One bite in and it just works. The noodles are flavorful and well-seasoned, and the broth is rich and perfect for sipping between bites. The taste is authentic and undeniable. Definitely adding this spot to my list of SF restaurants to come back to. BB

    Phở Gà Trộn
    Aaron K.

    Pho Huong Viet is a great find if you're looking for more authentic Northern Vietnamese dishes in San Francisco, especially specialties from Hanoi that you don't often see on local menus like phở gà trộn and bún chả. I came specifically for the phở gà trộn and it did not disappoint - it was remarkably close to what I've had in Hanoi, and I absolutely loved the mix of flavors and textures in the "dry" bowl of noodles (it's not in a broth but does have a sauce that you mix in), with the accompanying bowl of broth a nice way to change up each bite. I also ordered the nem (deep fried crab rolls) to pair with my noodles but those were a bit of a letdown as the flavor was a bit one note but it probably didn't help that they arrived at the very end of my meal (and only after I flagged someone down to check on the order). On service, there wasn't really anyone to greet guests on arrival so a group of us were left to simply stand around and wait to eventually get seated. Also to note, the food does take quite a long time to come out so I would recommend knowing what you want ahead of time so you can order as soon as you get seated. All that said, the deliciousness of the phở gà trộn and the appeal of the broader menu make me want to come back to try more items, and I'm hoping the uneven service was just an off day rather than the norm.

    Do you need reservations on sunday?

    We accept both walk-ins and reservation. If you will be arriving with a large party, more than 5, it would be best to call in ahead of time in order for us to best serve you.

    Do you still have banh cuon? I don't see it on the menu but see some pictures of it

    Hi, Bánh Cuốn is not on the menu, however it is a “once in a while chef’s special”. Thank you for your question

    Are credit cards accepted?

    Yes

    Do they use pho noodle?or just the flat rice noodle?

    they use flat noodles because they're northern style and have vermicelli noodles but not for pho.

Their grilled and vermicelli dishes are much better than their noodle soups. I've gotten their Bun Bo Hue here and it's really more akin to a "spicy" pho rather than a Bun Ho Hue. We've had their pho a few times in the restaurant and it's been okay. Most recently, we ordered two bowls of the pho tai for delivery and the broth smelled amazing when we were reheating it on the stove. To our surprise, the broth tasted like one single step above water. It smelled great but had absolutely no taste at all. It's probably the worst pho I've had and I've had a lot of pho! Maybe they were having an off day? I've just never experienced pho like this before. The restaurant itself is clean and the employees are quite nice. I just wouldn't order the pho or Bun Bo Hue here to be honest.

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.

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.
