Met up with friends here for lunch and I'm glad my friend chose this place. The food and service were great We even got parking just around the corner on Brannan! It was on a Sunday, so it looks like Sunday is good for parking. Hubby and I arrived early so we ordered a pot of tea to share. The staff were just so chill. No rushing. When our friends came, we ordered the Appetizer platter (great value at $20), and I ordered the Rice Plate with Short Ribs with the Imperial Roll and salad. Food was great and came in a timely manner. My friend's bf ordered the pho with short rib and it looked really good. I may order that next time. The place is not very big, but it didn't feel cramped. They have two tables for 4 in the middle of the room that can easily be combined for a larger party. Would highly recommend this place if you're craving Vietnamese in SoMa. read more

Cute Vietnamese place! Came here before a Giants game with some friends. It's very conveniently located right off the T. I had been craving Vietnamese food and have been on the hunt for a decent Pho Ga in SoMa ever since Turtle Tower closed. The decor inside is nice and atmosphere is peaceful -- even when it got more crowded later, it didn't get so loud where we couldn't have conversations with each other. The service was fairly quick and the waitstaff were very attentive. I got the five spice Pho Ga. The chicken was decent quality, and loved the crispy fried onions on top! The broth was very clean while holding good flavor. A note is that my order came with cilantro, not basil as some of the other dishes do. I didn't specify which kind of noodles I wanted, so the default seemed to be the flat rice noodles, which I like. Finished the whole bowl (broth included)! Would come again. read more

Que Viet - Chicken Pho / Pho Ga - Vietnamese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Nice ambiance restaurant in the mission bay. Interior is clean and it's kinda neat to see racks of different fish sauces decorating the walls. I came here lunch with coworkers and we stumbled upon this place. I noticed the cost of the dishes were priced a bit higher than a Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown (as an example) but considering the location, it's understandable. What's more surprising to me is that the food is pretty good. Portion sizes were decent and the flavors were there. Food took about 15 mins to arrive and they ran out of fresh soymilk. I guess I will need to revisit soon. read more

Really flavorful Vietnamese food! The interior is clean and comfortable, and service is fast. We ordered the spicy beef pho and chicken pho with spiced grilled chicken. I was really impressed with the flavor of the Pho. The meat was actually pre seasoned. The soup held flavor on its own without having to be doused in sriracha and hoisin sauce. Will come back! read more

Really solid Vietnamese place - I'm happy that we managed to stumble across it when looking for a pho place somewhat close to the Caltrain depot. The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, with some quiet Chinese music playing in the background - if you want a nice place to watch up with friends, this location is perfect. The prices are decent for Bay Area standards. The menu itself is slightly confusing imo: for their noodle soup dishes, they have options for different noodle types - but most dishes already have a designated type and I was not allowed to substituted the noodle type. That's fine - but I wish the menu had just removed the "your choice of noodle" in that case. I got the spicy beef pho - the broth was solid, though it looks more spicy than it actually is. It's definitely not super spicy - and on the milder side. You get plenty of beef as well. It comes with rice spaghetti noodles, which were not good imo: it was overcooked so the texture was a bit mushy. A friend got their regular pho and had no issue with the noodles - so I'd recommend just staying away from the rice spaghetti noodles and going with something else. read more

Nice friendly staff, service was great. Food was a little disappointing however. Bo tai chanh: Don't know what happened here. Carpaccio is sliced raw beef but they seared/cooked the outer layer. It's good being a steak and all but not what we asked for. Does not say cooked on the menu either. 2.5/5 Banh hoi: Best dish here. Pork was seasoned well and the pineapple sauce was surprisingly good. 4.5/5 Bun Bo hue: Missing shrimp paste. Broth tastes like normal pho with added ingredients to make it spicy. Meats were on the dryer side. 2/5 Banh xeo: First thing I've notice was how small it was. Decent crunch on the outside but the filing is very bland. Lacking in herbs and veggies.2/5 Overall still a decent restaurant. Food was good, just not a fan of their take on it. read more

Metered parking around the corner. Solid restaurant. The only thing I'd add is a toilet paper holder in the women's restroom lol. When I walked in, the roll was on the floor which made me laugh. We had reservations for 6:30p on a Friday and were seated promptly with a few tables still open. Because of the location, prices are like $2 more than an average Vietnamese place, but quality is good. The deep fried ground pork imperial rolls were so delicious we had to order a second plate. The beef noodle soup came with the perfect amount of mint and bean sprouts and I didn't feel the need to add extra sauces. I also couldn't finish the meat because there was so much. Another satisfying dish was the garlic noodles with salmon fillet and sliced pork. It came with the same sauce as the rolls. read more

Go to for pho near Mission Bay. They also have some of my Vietnamese favs that are hard to find like the shrimp crepes. Everything is so fresh and delicious! The staff is super accommodating when I mentioned that I can't have pork and made sure to point out all items on sampler that contained it in advance. Beef qualify is 10/10 and the restaurant is super cozy feeling. read more

Came here with 4 friends on a Thursday night and we were seated immediately! The place was pretty empty and there was plenty of seating for us. Good: - The food here was amazing - the woven vermicelli was super unique, I hadn't seen something like that before! But it was so good with the pork strips and the fish sauce - The crepes here were really good too - Decent papaya salad - The lychee and passionfruit sake here was so good! And pretty cheap too. - The staff was super nice and patient with us and let us stay way past closing time Bad: - It's a simple place! Nothing super fancy, but it's quite a clean place Overall what a hidden gem, totally recommend to anyone who likes Vietnamese cuisine. read more

Great pho spot in the area - this is looking like my new go-to pho spot! We got the tofu skin rolls for an appetizer, which were a great shareable and a new Viet dish I haven't tried before. It was a nice, chewy texture on the outside, with a good crunch from fried tofu skin. The pho was also great! The meat was tender and flavorful off the bone, and a generous serving of meat and noodles were given. Also noticed they have a lunch special Monday-Friday that had some great deals so I'll be back for that! read more

I have found myself coming in here for comfort food quite often over the last few months, especially as the weather got colder and the winter rainy season begins in the Bay Area. I love how cozy and simple this establishment is and there are remnants of design aspects leftover from the previous Japanese restaurant's business that they have incorporated well into this new and sleek Vietnamese dining business. My go-tos here are their Fresh Rolls which are generously sized and have a good chunk of shrimp in every cut of the roll (they do not skimp!). The chicken on broken rice is also one of my favorites, especially as a to-go dinner item. One of my more recent finds and current obsessions when I come here is the pork and chicken thigh woven vermicelli rice wraps. The portion is easily big enough for two people to split at just around $21 (as of December 2023), which is crazy good! Even with ordering an appetizer on top of that, the total would be close to $30 pre-tip, which is unheard of in the SoMa and Mission Bay areas without the shops being a cash only establishment. The owner is a friendly, petite Chinese-Vietnamese lady who comes out to chat and say hi on some days that she's there. Meeting the owner and trying unique dishes like woven vermicelli and broken rice that is hard to find outside of the TL or the Vietnamese shopping center down in SJ is such a treasure. I'd recommend this business to anyone in the area who also does not want to constantly trek up to the TL or SJ for authentic and comforting Vietnamese food. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend on Saturday - there were several open tables! This is a solid spot for pho and other Vietnamese dishes.

The staff is very friendly and the service is great! Will definitely be back again soon! read more

very chewy rib eye but great egg rolls! I came on a random Tuesday after I moved to the area and decided to try some viet food.

Que Viet ? ( Spanish translation: What Viet?). In search for garlic noodles and grilled pork in San Francisco I ran into Que Viet Grill & Pho in SOMA which serves Vietnamese food grill plates and Pho. Although Pho ( noodle soup) season has already started in Autumn on certain days in San Francisco, I skipped the Pho ( I usually don't ) because I was determined and my mind was set on the grilled pork with lemongrass and garlic noodles. At Que Viet , I first started with the Vietnamese ice coffee since it had to drip into a full glass of ice. The Vietnamese ice coffee gave me a jolt and it awaken my senses. The coffee had a creamy good taste more on the bitter side. I then ordered the grill pork with lemongrass with garlic noodles. The grilled pork with lemongrass was tender and it had a good flavor as I was dipping in it in the Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Dipping Sauce). I had also had to dip the rice in the Nuoc Cham sauce ( I think I dipped everything in that sauce). Overall a good place to grab some flat rice, thin rice ,vermicelli , or garlic noodles. Next time I won't forget to get the Pho. Get the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and watch it drip in the ice like the sand of time through a hour glass Go to Que Viet and order the garlic noodles with grilled pork with lemongrass read more

Last Monday I went to one of my favorites. I have been sick as of late and had lost 20 lbs. IT DID NOT disappoint. Although it didn't reach the 5 star greatness that I have become accustomed to, it was at least a four. I needed sustenance ; but, not too heavy. So, I went with the rib eye & short ribs soup. Direct and to the point. The service is always great, small and quaint. There are generally young adults. Handicap accessible. read more

The food here is so good. I come and grab the vegetable pho without the tofu and every so often I switch from adding the spring rolls or the chicken pot stickers. I literally crave this place about once every two weeks. Ohh and I can't leave out the passionfruit iced tea. Always a hit. I've been here over 5 times and each time spread out. I love the consistency of the foods the portions the service is always great and the ambiance is cozy. read more

i heard not many places in sf have woven vermicelli so i jumped at the chance to get it here. they have a few protein options, but i got the pork sausage & sliced pork. it's served with herbs, pineapple sauce, and fish sauce. loved that i could wrap the spring rolls myself. i was a bit stingy with the filling because i thought i'd run out, but actually ran out of the wrappers first. they only give 5, so load up! i ended up taking the rest home and used my own wrappers. they also offer pho and other viet dishes -- all of which looked slightly on the pricier side -- but i came specifically for the banh hoi, so can't speak to those. service was fine, nothing outstanding. pretty quiet inside, so conversations will definitely carry lol. read more

This cute, new vietnamese spot replaced the sushi restaurant that was here before it. You'll still see the same dipping bowls and table arrangement. The Good: + I liked the homey, very Vietnamese ambiance with the viet music videos in the background. It felt like it should be a hole in the wall, but yenno , with sf rent prices + I liked that you could choose whatever you wanted in your pho ($16) and that the broth was flavorful on its own. Authentic? Not really but good if you're looking for a bowl of pho nearby. Definitely a plus for the surrounding apartment complexes with just fast food and Marlowe within reach. + service was good-- my water was always filled and the Vietnamese crew in the back made me feel comfortable. The Meh: - the garlic noodle ($23), upon a first taste, was bland. Not even a taste of salt besides butter and garlic-- I make garlic noodles a lot and uh.. this was not it. we sent it back for more salt. After bringing it back with more salt, the waitress told us that the accompanying fish sauce we got for our SAMPLER platter was supposed to be put into the noodles. Very confusing. If we didn't order the sampler platter then the noodles would be tasteless then? - the sampler platter ($18)was good, but the oyster pancake (I was most excited for it) had uncooked batter.. which, with the oyster on top, made it a mushy mess in my mouth. We told the waitress about it as well, and she said sorry, but offered no replacement in turn.. I don't really know what the actual version tastes like now. I really wanted to like this place :/ I really did but with their prices, I have to compare them to related Vietnamese restaurants in sf and (shrug) this place is just ok. They've jsut opened up, though, so maybe they'll improve on their other dishes besides the pho. read more

Decent new Vietnamese restaurant in SOMA. Clean and spacious interior, friendly staff. Parking is tricky since the restaurant faces the busy 4th Street. We managed to find parking on the dead-end Freelon Street. For starters we had the shrimp goi cuon, which tasted very fresh but for $7 we expected more than four small pieces. For entrees we had the seafood pho, beef pho, and five spice chicken vermicelli bowl. We all enjoyed our entrees. Dishes were flavorful and meats were tender. Overall, I would come back for their entrees and to try out their other appetizers. read more

I was excited for a Vietnamese restaurant to open up in the neighborhood. I decided to order take out and was beyond disappointed with the restaurant. I called in to place my order which included 4 items. They told me it would take 30 minutes for our order to be ready for pick up. I get to the restaurant 30 minutes later and then inform me they didn't get the an item in my order - no worries they said another 10 minutes. After waiting another 15 minutes. we checked in again and they said it will be soon. We ended up cancelling the last item but turns out they only had 2/4 of my items ready after 30 minutes of me waiting at the actual restaurant. They were not apologetic towards me waiting a long time. For this, I would rate customer service a 0/5. In terms of the food, the portions are small and the photos online are deceiving. They put a small leaf for the herb bag (see in attached photos). The catfish garlic noodles were mediocre - I'd rate it a (2/5). Pho was decent but significantly smaller than other pho restaurants (yet the same price). I don't know if this was an off day but they honestly lost me as a customer. I will not be going back. I'll stick to my usual Turtle Tower for pho. read more

Amazing food. Amazing service. Some of the best Pho I've ever had. Would recommend to all who love great food.

Ordered pick up from this spot, they were incredibly fast! I really appreciate the way that things are packaged for takeout and personally prefer the raw meats a little cooked since they are sitting atop of other cooked things. The broth was really flavorful and didn't feel too salty. I also like that you have the choice of different types of noodles! The only inconvenience about this location is that it is located on a one-way street with extremely limited parking and access. Something to consider if you're trying to dine in, you might need to Uber or find a way there without driving. read more

Overall, this place was good and worth going to again if I'm in the area! I have other dishes I want to try next time I'm there! The service was a little slow but it looked like there was only 1 server working. Parking is hit or miss since it's only street. I was able to find parking Friday night a block away. House Favorites: I got this dish as my meal bc I knew it would be a lot of food. It was worth getting to try a bite of different things. The least favorite was the potstickers. It literally was just a typically potsticker nothing special, kinda reminded me of LingLing. The veggies and herbs were very fresh and visually appealing. Some viet places give you wilting veggies, but not this place. I never had Banh Khot so have nothing to compare it to, but I thought it would be crispy all the way through. It had a nice outer crisp but as you got to the middle it was a bit soggy/mushy. For the Banh Xeo, I def prefer a crispier crepe. Theirs was a little soggy so it was easy to fall apart. However it was good. Also, their fish sauce was yummy too, luckily my bf doesn't like it so I got to use two dishes to myself. Beef Pho: My bf enjoyed this dish. The broth had good flavor. They let you choose what noodles you want with it, but when we went they had no more thick flat fresh rice noodles. The ribeye was tender and the brisket didn't have a lot of fatty pieces. Def would get again. Vermicelli Bowl: My bf 2nd dish. He doesn't like fish sauce so he eats this dish plain anywhere he goes. He said this bowl lacked flavor in the meat and bowl itself. Usually other places he can eat it without fish sauce and it has flavor from the meat. I assume with fish sauce there would be more flavor and it would be enjoyable. read more

Had the garlic noodles with pork and it was delicious. The fish sauce was mild but flavorful. The crispy garlic on top combined with the salty fish sauce and savory meat was a treat. What could have improved the dish was some crisp veggies like cucumbers or pickled carrots and daikon to add some freshness to cut through the meat. I'll be looking forward to trying their other dishes. read more

I was on the way to another dinner spot, but detoured here instead (and so glad I did). Formerly Machiya, this newest Vietnamese addition was a delightful surprise for the SoMa area. F o o d Shrimp mini pancake/ Banh Khot Tom (4/5): it included 2 pieces and was a good starter. It didn't wow the taste buds but it got them curious about what's next. Pho with ribeye, brisket + meatballs (5/5): flavorful broth and noodles were chewy. Brisket and meatballs were average. Ribeye was thinly sliced and not overcooked. Overall, I would order again. Bun/ vermicelli with rib eye steak (5/5): the meat was tender (and on the rarer side if that's your jam)..it paired so well with the fish sauce, vermicelli, mint, and everything else in the bowl. S e r v i c e 5/5: Staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment of stepping in. Didn't feel rushed at all. A m b i a n c e 4/5: Simple decor that felt similar to the previous restaurant. Appreciated the music to make it feel a little more authentic. But would I return? Definitely. Looking forward to try the banh mi for lunch. read more

Disappointing Experience at Que Viet Restaurant in San Francisco - Great Short Ribs, But Service and Coffee Fall Flat I visited Que Viet Restaurant in San Francisco on Sunday, May 11, 2025, around noon with a party of two. Be aware that there is no designated parking lot--only street parking--so we parked in a nearby alley next to the restaurant. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a woman who appeared to be the owner and were promptly seated. The ambiance suggested an authentic Vietnamese dining experience, but unfortunately, that's where the cultural charm seemed to end. Service was notably slow and inattentive. It took nearly 10 minutes before our order was taken and another 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive. We ordered the Beef Noodle Soup (Pho) with tendon and tripe on the side, Beef Short Rib Rice, and took advantage of their daily drink special by adding Vietnamese iced coffee. Sadly, the Vietnamese coffee was a major letdown (1/5). Instead of the traditional drip style with rich condensed milk, we were served a watered-down version that tasted like powdered coffee--visibly light in color and flavorless. It did not match the quality or presentation seen in prior reviews. The pho was underwhelming (2/5). Despite requesting tendon and tripe on the side, they were included in the soup, and the bean sprouts were served raw. The broth lacked depth and tasted bland compared to other pho spots in the Bay Area. Additionally, the wait time for the pho was unusually long, possibly due to pacing it with the other dish. On a positive note, the Beef Short Rib Rice plate was excellent (5/5). The short ribs were tender and grilled to perfection with a savory BBQ flavor. The crispy shrimp and tofu skin roll was a standout--hot, crunchy, and filled with juicy shrimp. The pickled side salad added a refreshing contrast, and the sunny-side-up egg was a delightful touch that elevated the entire dish. Final verdict: While the short rib rice dish is worth trying, the overall experience was marred by poor service, lackluster pho, and subpar Vietnamese coffee. For the price point and wait time, I'd recommend exploring other Vietnamese restaurants in San Francisco offering more authentic flavors and attentive service. I won't be returning to Que Viet. read more
