Quaint restaurant on 4th Street. Menu was simple with many protein options. Service was quick and efficient. For appetizer, we had the Banh Xeo (or Vietnamese crepe) with pork. I love this! It's flavorful and delicious. I could eat this as my entree and be perfectly happy! I wish they gave 4 leaves of lettuce. For dinner, we had: Garlic Noodles with Sea Bass Fillet & Grilled Pork - pretty good. I was hoping the noodles would be more garlicky. Tiger Shrimp Bun (Vermicelli Bowl) - also pretty good. Garlic Noodles with Chicken Pho Overall it was pretty good. read more

Cozy restaurant vibe that did not have a very loud ambience. Kind staff as well who checked in frequently. 5/5 - Garlic noodles with chicken. An absolute must order! The chicken was cooked very well. Tender and juicy. Garlic noodles were cooked al dente and perfectly seasoned. The two stars of this dish complement each other well. The pickled veggies paired with the dish also provide a refreshing bite of flavor that contrasts the warmth of the garlic noodles and chicken. I highly recommend trying this dish if you haven't done so! 3/5 - Pho with chicken. The chicken was lackluster in this dish, mainly due to its dryness.The broth alone still tasted very good in terms of savoryness and seasoning. It was a bit of a harder finish for us but I would recommend trying their beef with their pho. read more

The location of Que Viet is very convenient and the restaurant has lots of seating. Great and attentive service as well! I may have gotten the wrong item as the chicken pho was lackluster for me. The soup was very flavorful, but the noodles themselves were a tad overcooked and broke apart, making the dish difficult to eat with chopsticks. I would come again and try their beef pho instead. read more

Que Viet - chicken pho - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of the few places in SF that have Banh Hoi on their menu so friend and I decided on Que Viet. We came by on a weekday dinner around 5:30pm and it was pretty empty but felt cozy and peaceful with the calm Viet music playing in the background. Service was quick We got the woven vermicelli as well as the appetizer sampler. Appetizer sampler came with 2 of each item which was perfect for us to share and split. None of the apps stood out significantly but at least the Banh Hoi satisfied our craving. The beef wrapped within the leaves were flavorful and juicy, pairing with vermicelli, lettuce and herbs helped balance out the flavors. We loved that everything was fresh and portion was decent for the price! Throughout our meal there was a fly that kept staying around our food though so that was a little annoying. read more

I like this place. The ambiance is homey and cozy, friendly and food were delicious. It's a Viet Chinese owned restaurant and the menu is pretty large. I've had the "Banh Hoi" Woven Vermicelli. With pork sausage & grilled pork. And Ribeye Pho. The pho was decent, it was dark broth on the sweet side with taste of star anise and cinnamon. Ribeye were fresh and served on the side so it's entirely up to you whether you prefer to dip the rare ribeye on sriracha and hoisin separately (like me) or you like to mix and add the meat to the broth or maybe just swish swish (the sound and action of rapidly cooking the meat in the pot for 10-30 seconds before dipping it into savory sauces). However I highly recommend their woven vermicelli dishes. It's fun, you make your own wraps with the rice paper, dip in water, add meats vegetables and sauce and roll. Very fresh and fun. It' s a good neighborhood restaurant that serves Vietnamese comfort food at affordable prices. read more

Super quick and service is very attentive, and affordable sit down right off the MUNI coming from downtown SF! Stumbled upon this place on a night out; parking is relatively easy on a Sunday with the streets being mostly clear. Que Viet offers your typical vermicelli bowls, pho, and even bun Bo hue (spicey noodle soup but please dont go here for that!) Restaurant space is very clean and well kept with some peaceful Vietnamese music strumming in the background. On to the foodie review! Grilled Pork Garlic Noodles Super filling portions coupled with a side of pho broth to pallete cleanse! Asian garlic noodles aren't your typical beat around the bush noods!! Full of umami, sweet, buttery and more-than-5 cloves of garlic goodness! Bun Bo Hue (not pictured) My friend ordered this and I got a sample of it!.... It's a short cut spicey pho broth. A true bun Bo hue has a subtle lemon grass sweetness paired with rock sugar as a base. Great dish if it was labeled as a spicey pho instead. Imperial rolls Deep fried to perfection I just wished it was worth its price point! ($12 for 3 full rolls) unfortunately they were out of pork for our visit so we had to opt for chicken and it was still as flavorful. read more

I stumbled on this restaurant last year while in mission bay for an appointment. The inside is really cute and modern and the service is attentive. Stopped in for lunch today and ordered the house favorites (imperial rolls, banh khot, banh xeo, shrimp spring rolls, and pot stickers), lunch special mini beef pho, and the garlic egg noodles with sea bass and pork. We shared all of it family style and every bite was so good! Previously I'd only tried the pho (my fave in the city), so this was a treat. The house favorite platter had such a good variety of things and the garlic noodles were so full of garlic flavor! I love this little viet spot. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant is 2-3 blocks away from the SF Caltrain station. We had dinner here prior to going to Chase Center. It is small but nice place, very accessible by public transit. The Muni light rail runs just in front of the restaurant. The food is delicious, freshly cooked and of good quality. We ordered the Fresh Shrimp rolls, Ban Xeo shrimp and Grilled Tiger Prawns Vermicelli. Servers are very attentive. read more

TLDR authentic viet food in SF Not a lot of places have first of all banh hoi which is this woven vermicelli and on top of that bo la lot which is beef wrapped in betel leaves. They even served mam tom (shrimp paste) sauce that was designed to be less strong and easily palatable. Typically the mam tom is too strong for most people. It was served with banh trang (rice paper) so we can roll it and it was amazing. The ambiance is quaint and prices are extremely reasonable for the amount of effort this dish takes. Would definitely go here again to get this same exact dish. read more

I visited on a Monday afternoon when looking for a late lunch option in the city - no lot, surrounding street parking only. I ordered the Beef Pho and my boyfriend ordered the Short Rib Pho -- we were pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes, they were huge !! Only complaints were the price (~$20 each) and the fact that the short rib was a bit tough and was hard to get off the bone. Otherwise, the broth flavor was good and the amount of meat and noodles were very generous. This definitely satisfied the pho craving that I had, but not sure if it's somewhere I'd visit again as it didn't stand out. It is a solid choice if you're in the area and craving pho though! read more

I came across Que Viet while exploring the city on a chilly day, perfect pho weather. The restaurant is cute, cozy, and filled with natural light from all the windows. On my first visit, I ordered the spring rolls with shrimp and the chicken pho. I love how they use the thicker noodles, and the chicken broth was very flavorful. I went back again to try the beef tartare and the shrimp pho. The broth isn't really like traditional pho, but it's still very tasty. My only complaint is that both times the herb and green onion portions were a bit skimpy, and I had to ask for extra. Overall, I would definitely eat here again read more

It was super good! My whole family loved it, the spring rolls brought a new flavor to our tongues and we loved it. The service is also good they ask extra questions just to satisfy you and you can tell they put good work in their food.

I wanted the lunch special to be tasty and comforting after my day on the jury. A bowl of warm noodles was just really what I felt like. So, I ordered the lunch special and jasmine tea. $21.00 for one. The pho broth was basically warmed water with no flavor. There were a couple of veggies and cabbage. I was disappointed. Inside is clean and the servers are so polite. Overall, I would return to try something else because service was good. It was just over priced for not being delicious. read more

ordered the appetizer platter at Que Viet, and it was perfect since I couldn't choose just one thing. It came with a little bit of everything fresh rolls, grilled meats, veggies, and dipping sauces--so I got to try a variety of flavors in one dish. Everything was fresh, tasty, and satisfying. The soup was solid too, with a rich, flavorful broth and plenty of toppings. It really rounded out the meal and made the whole experience even better. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. If you're indecisive or want to sample a bit of everything, the appetizer platter is definitely the way to go! read more

I love the variety of dishes offered here. It's more than just your typical pho/garlic noodle type Vietnamese restaurant. I decided to try non soup based items. The grilled meats were all delicious and the duck breast was moist and not too chewy. I really liked all our dishes. The garlic noodle had a great garlic taste but was buttery and not dry like a lot of other places can make it. I wasn't sure which dish the rice paper was for but it was a fun experience and went great with a lot of different items. I did wish the service was a bit better. The food came out quick but no one ever came to refill water or asked if we needed anything. I definitely needed more napkins for how messy and hands on the dishes were. That being said, I'd definitely come back to try other dishes! read more

We found this spot coming back from a game. It hit the spot but we felt the broth lacked some flavor of spices/aromatics.

Best Vietnamese I've had in a long time. If I lived near this restaurant I'd eat here a couple of times a week. Today I was in a rush and all I had was a bowl of pho with rib eye. There was a huge meaty marrow bone included. Very good broth. Nice service, blindingly fast. Recommended. read more

Que Viet is probably one of the best vietnamese restaurants I've tried in the city! The ingredients are high quality and the menu is large so there is probably something to satisfy any craving for Vietnamese food. Staff was friendly and the interior was spacious and nicely decorated. I ordered the pho and the meats were tender and high quality. The broth was pretty rich and had a very strong beef flavor. My favorite dish was definitely the ribeye and garlic noodles though. The ribeye steak was medium rare and very tender, juicy and had a strong garlicky flavor. The garlic noodles themselves were also satisfying but I felt like they could have incorporated a stronger garlic flavor. Portion sizes were decent and filling. I would come back to try more of the appetizers and the woven vermicelli sheets. read more

This place confuses me. The banh hoi is really good. I wish they'd only make variations of it to serve cause everything else was so bad that it makes me not want to come back. This dish is 4-5stars. Everything else is a 1-2. Parking is wretched. Street only and there's a one way that you have to back out of. Rough getting back onto the Main Street. Service is slow but fine. It did get crowded at some point on a sat night for dinner. Everyone else was eating pho which had an overwhelming scent of anise and yet managed to be tasteless and murky. I guess it's fine if you don't care what pho tastes like. It's a small shop so we got seated next to a first date couple and the woman could not stop talking about herself loudly and how amazing she is. Was hoping he'd leave so we didn't all have to suffer through the one sided convo hah read more

Highly recommend the Bánh hỏi (woven rice vermicelli) with pork as this is their specialty! It was so delicious. As a Vietnamese, this spot meets my high expectations lol. Service was great.

Very chill atmosphere as they play Vietnamese music in the background. read more

What a great find!!! I was in the area craving Vietnamese food, and luckily Yelp led me to this spot. Walked in on a Tuesday evening and the place was packed--always a good sign. I went with their signature dish (as everyone recommended): the beef and short rib pho, loaded up with sprouts, onion, cilantro, mint, and a squeeze of lime. It was absolutely delicious--flavorful and comforting. My only regret? Coming alone and not getting to try more dishes. The staff was super friendly and attentive too, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the bay area! read more

Horrible service, would not recommend! The lady working on Saturday was very unfriendly and unwelcoming.

Really solid Vietnamese food in SoMA! I came here for lunch after seeing pictures of the banh hoi (woven vermicelli) plates and we ordered the grilled beef in lolot leaf and tiger shrimp banh hoi and bahn xeo (vietnamese egg crepe) to share. Loved the banh hoi which came with nuoc nam and pineapple sauce, the woven vermicelli pieces, minced beef rolls, shrimp, lettuce + herbs and rice paper to wrap it all in. It's fun to make your own rolls and the flavors were so so good! A nice mix of sweet and savory with the fresh herbs to accompany the punchy sauces. The bahn xeo was pretty good as well. You can pick between shrimp, pork, and tofu as the protein and while the crepe was larger than I expected for an app portion, I wished it was crispier. The best part about bahn xeo for me is the crispy, lacey edges which this one didn't have. All in all though a really good lunch spot! We saw a bunch of people ordering their pho and bun bo hue so will need to try that next time! read more

DELICIOUS. 10/10 can't wait to come again!!! beef carpaccio - personally not my favorite since the meat itself doesn't have much flavor but is complemented by the onions and peppers. my partner loved it though! meat is fresh and feels safe to eat raw. very very generous portion for the price. woven vermicelli with chicken and pork- the WINNER of my heart for dinner. love that they give a little tub of warm water for the rice wrappers. the process of making it yourself makes it even tastier since you can customize the ratio of meat, noodles, garnishes and sauce. plenty of peanuts to stuff each one, i tried my best to use all of it but we still had some leftover! (ain't easy grabbing it with chopsticks, so i used the little spoon from the sauce) the meat is soooo tasty and cut into perfect slice size for each roll. papaya salad- nothing crazy special but i did like having something neutral to fill us up more. got the tofu bc there's just something about having fried tofu that makes a dish just as good as if it had grilled meat or shrimp. they were very busy on a friday night, but we waited 15-20 min max for a two person table. our table barely fit 3 dishes and our plates and sauce, but personally found it to be perfect in space. you can tell their staff have a good flow with each other and the system in place. quick with clean up and welcome next guests. absolutely delicious. also, we got the vietnamese coffee. definitely strong, creamy but not sweet. read more

I dropped into Que Viet for a quick bite to eat on a Wednesday at about 5 PM. Since it was so early, seating was plentiful (there were 3 other parties). There were 2 employees working the floor and I was seated promptly and given a menu. They seem to do a fair amount of take-out/deliveries which is a good sign. I ordered the Imperial Spring Rolls as a starter. They came out piping hot and they were delicious. The outside was super crunchy and was not oily at all. There was plenty of tasty meat filling and the accompanying veggies were fresh and added some cleanness to the fried rolls. The beef short rib rice plate was also very good. I will point out that there was only one rib which is borderline skimpy. In any event, it was tasty although a bit chewy. A large beer, an appetizer, and a main was just short of $50. I'd say it's a bit pricey but since it's San Francisco, I guess it's expected. If I'm looking for good Vietnamese food near Oracle Park, I'd consider coming back. read more

We were nearby and were looking for some good food. We came in smelled the good aroma and we were so excited! We ordered the platter which was $20 came with diff types of appetizer! Got 2 ribeye pho with fresh noodle. May I say the appetizers tasted better than the pho itself... pho broth was very dark and cloudy.. bland. I put in so much seasoning to help it but was unsatisfied. One thing I'll say overall the thing I liked was the meat it wasn't dry for a ribeye I think it was tender to me. Maybe they're more popular for their other dishes than pho. read more

3.5 STARS It was like déjà vu as we were walking towards Quê Việt and passing The Grand. Too bad Quê Việt wasn't there back in the day. It would have been THE spot to fuel up before losing your dignity (and maybe your bottoms) at The Grand...or GlasKat if you're an OG. Maybe it is THE spot with the youngins these days before clubbin' ? Opening in September 2023, Quê Việt offers takeout, delivery, and indoor dining. No outdoor seating. M E N U Vietnamese Cuisine with some twists (seems to be Viet-Chinese owned). They have some harder to find items like bánh xèo (crêpe), bánh khọt (mini savory pancakes), bánh hỏi (woven vermicelli), and cơm tấm (broken rice). Beer, wine, and sake available. F O O D * Bánh Hỏi Nem Nướng Thịt Nướng: Woven Vermicelli Noodles w/ pork sausage and grilled pork ($22): https://tinyurl.com/2auy87yu A colorful platter of chewy woven vermicelli noodles topped with scallion oil and crushed peanuts alongside flavorful grilled pork (tender) and pork sausage (firm + bouncy). Good savory sweet flavor with bits of charred edges. DIY wraps with rice paper, lettuce, pickled daikon + carrots, and herbs. Served with a side of tangy sweet pineapple sauce and nước chấm (fish dipping sauce). I appreciated the funk in the nước chấm but it wasn't balanced, it was too salty, lacking acid and sweetness. IF I only had the bánh hỏi, this review would be 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars. It was fresh and deliciously satisfying with a medley of flavors and textures. * Bò Tái Chanh: Beef Carpaccio ($17): https://tinyurl.com/2ffh3wuc I appreciate the pretty presentation and elevated take on the traditional Viet app but it gave beef tataki vibes more than carpaccio. A bed of raw onions topped with strips of seared steak, fried onions, peanuts and basil. The ratio of onions to steak was really off so the dominating flavor were of onions. * Cơm Tấm Bò Bít Tết: Broken Rice w/ ribeye, fried egg, fried shrimp tofu, salad ($25): https://tinyurl.com/vj9unzha - Requested medium rare Not my dish but I tried some (dining companion didn't care for it). The thin cut ribeye was surprisingly only seasoned with S&P, not marinated with aromatics. On the chewy side and cooked to blue rare. Skip the ribeye! S E R V I C E Very kind and friendly staff. Pretty prompt food service. A M B I A N C E Low-key with a dozen tables and bar counter seating. OG Chinese folk music playing in the background. P A R K I N G Challenging street parking but doable if you're fine with walking several blocks. Overall, given the high ratings, I was mostly underwhelmed by the food but gotta consider the area and demographics. IMO, Quê Việt serves decent Viet food if you're in Mission Bay/SoMa (get the bánh hỏi!) but their spin on certain dishes and the flavors weren't really my jam. 3.5 stars rounded up for the awesome service! read more

A hidden gem in SoMa! I visited Que Viet to satisfy my craving for pho. Conveniently, this place is located right off the 4th & Brennan MUNI station. We arrived as a party of 2 around 7 PM on a Saturday and were immediately seated without a reservation. However, within just 15-20 minutes, the place filled up quickly with more guests arriving. If you are on a tight schedule or in a hurry, I would recommend making a reservation or avoiding peak hours. The ambiance inside is very cozy with woody accents. The servers were very kind and service was fast, though it did get a little harder to flag someone down toward the end of our visit as the place got full and there were only 3 hall staff. Here is the order for the night: House Favorites (include 2 shrimp mini pancakes, 1 mini shrimp crepe, 2 deep fried pork imperial rolls, 2 fresh shrimp rolls, and 2 potstickers): This gorgeous sampler is just $19, and has a variety of appetizers! Beef Short Rib & Ribeye Pho: There was so much noodles in the bowl, I was definitely getting my money's worth! The broth was very comforting and flavorful. Spicy Beef Pho: This was not my order, but I just had a sip of the broth. It was very flavorful, but definitely past my low spice tolerance. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by the entire experience at this restaurant--from the food to the ambiance and service! Would definitely come back again to try more dishes! read more

My boyfriend got the short rib rice plate and when I tell you they don't skimp out on the protein... they do not skimp out on the protein! Service was so quick and friendly!
