    SF old timer that I am, I always associate this address with Fringale, the longtime, well regarded French bistro that closed its doors six years ago. I had it bookmarked but never did make it, so here I was on a breezy weekday afternoon trying its new identity as a moderately priced Vietnamese restaurant. Price-wise, it's a grade level above similar eateries in Little Saigon. I was making my way to Chase Center for a Valkyries game, so this looked like an apt spot for a pregame nosh. The place was empty in the late afternoon, and kudos to the proprietor for remaining open between lunch and dinner. There was no hesitation in serving me, which I appreciated. Feeling hungry for something substantial, I ordered the $25 Garlic Noodles with Duck Breast and Grilled Pork (Photo 8). Stir-fried in olive oil, it came with a mixed side salad and a cup of their housemade chicken bone broth (Photo 6). The dish was tasty, though the combination of fat and carbs was probably not the healthiest indulgence I could have had. For my nutritional benefit, I could probably go for the fresh spring rolls or the vegetarian pho. The menu offered many temptations for the next visit. FOOD - 4 stars...plenty of garlic and oil in their noodles AMBIANCE - 4 stars...quietly reserved in the afternoon, no trace of Fringale SERVICE - 4 stars...quietly effective TOTAL - 4 stars...stylish Vietnamese RELATED - Exploring western SoMa?

    Popped by for lunch on a weekday. We ordered 2 bowls of pho and their do-it-yourself wrap platter. Everything was tasty and service was friendly. The wrap platter was fun but not worth $25 in my opinion. We opted for their signature beef and tiger prawn platter which came with literally 3 prawns. Despite a very unassuming entrance, the interior is actually quite clean and comfortable. Lots of tables and service is friendly.

    Banh Xeo with pork

    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.

    I've stopped by here three times, but this is the first time I got the food and dined in. The first two times I just picked up passionfruit tea to go. Naturally, I was curious to try the foods, so I came after working out. I didn't eat much during the day, so I was hungryyy. Luckily, the foods were up to standard. The house special assorted platter of traditional Viet foods was super tasty, and the beef banh hoi was pretty solid, although I wish the beef had a bit more flavor. It def relied on the fish sauce to carry it. Overall quite good though and glad I finally got to check it out and have the full in person experience.

    Chicken Pho / Pho Ga
    Jed O.

    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.

    Service is an ok. I asked two questions and the server was already agitated. Other Vietnamese tables came later than us but got their food earlier. Worst pho I've had in my life. Soup was flat and the meat on the bone were still very hard. Maybe the bones haven't been cooked long enough by lunch time but that's not how it should be. The wrapper your own spring roll was pretty but tasty just alright. One of the fish sauce was rot fishy so it really wasn't for me.

    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.

    Grilled Pork Sausage & Sliced Pork Woven Vermicelli / Banh Hoi Nem & Thit Nuong. (Order this)
    Rudy H.

    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.

    chicken pho
    Tiffany Y.

    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.

    Grilled pork garlic noodles
    Billy T.

    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.

    Banh hoi
    Tam N.

    Great Vietnamese dishes! I would recommend the garlic noodles, banh hoi, and imperial rolls. The soups were okay (a little too salty). Service was quick and efficient. Chill place to catch up with friends!

    Chicken Pho / Pho Ga
    Lisa M.

    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

    Woven Vermicelli with beef in betel leaves and shrimp / Banh Hoi Bo La Lot
    Catlynn N.

    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.

    Can I order from the dinner menu during lunch?

    Hi Nancy-yes you can. We now have all day dinner menu so you can order from the dinner menu during lunch. Thanks for reaching out & asking question. Hope seeing you soon!

    Do you still offer Grilled Whole Catfish?

    Hi Johnny-currently we do not offer Grilled Whole Catfish. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    How long do they cook the pho broth for?

Been here a couple of times already and the service never failed. Even came here during the Cherry Blossom Festival and the staff were still friendly / accommodating. They even put a spicy sauce on the side of one of the katsu plates when we mentioned that my dad couldn't handle all that haha. This cozy spot mainly focuses on katsu plates, but I like how they had off menu or specials to choose from if you'd like another option. I will say though them katsu plates were just chef's kiss. The meat is pounded thin enough where it's still juicy and tender, but doesn't affect the exterior from being crunchy and a bit flaky. Nothing was dry here yallll! I also like how it already comes with miso soup and salad. Huge fan of that Hamachi Truffle special though. Think of a citrusy flavor from the ponzu, fresh fish, a bit of micro greens, and a thin slice of jalapeño that just ~works~ on a cute wooden spoon that you want to steal I could honestly eat like 5 spoons of this. I'd skip on the calamari as it was kind of skimpy to share with a large group. Only note was that their fried katsu curry was a bit underwhelming with having more slices of carrots than potato! Would love to come back if I am ever in the area.

The miso soup was a delicious way to start the meal, and when my katsu arrived, it looked amazing. The meat was hot, tender, and the portion was huge, so I definitely left full. My only suggestion is to ask for the curry on the side if you like your katsu extra crispy. I had the curry poured over it, and the breading got soggy pretty quickly. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the price. My dish was around $30, which felt a little expensive, although I can understand it given the quality of the meat and generous portions. Overall, it's a great place if you're craving katsu, and I'd definitely come back--just with the curry on the side next time!

Even before this most recent visit, I'd enjoyed intimate dinners here for its creative, Korean-Thai-inspired menu that always packed an impressive punch of flavor but, dare I say, the brunch might be even better. The steak sandwich was absolutely phenomenal, with the steak seasoned and cooked to perfection and pairing beautifully with the charred onion aioli, plus a side of expertly crisped smashed potatoes that were so addicting. The steamed mussels were sumptuous and packed with umami, and I loved the two large bricks of toasted sourdough focaccia that were perfect for sopping up every last bit of the delicious dashi broth. But the pièce de résistance was the custard French toast, which I can only describe as the love child of bread pudding and tres leches cake as it was crispy on the outside but uber moist on the inside, custardy, and simply divine. Kothai will be deeply missed in the neighborhood, but I'm excited to see what's next for chef/owner Sung Park and will be first in line for whatever future project comes next.

Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for.
