    This is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the sunset. For $18.95 you can get a vermicelli salad with 5 different items. That's a steal for the amount of food you get which is enough for 2 people. The meat is flavorful though it could be a bit salty. Just pour less fish sauce dressing then. I've only ordered take out each time but I would like to sit down someday. Their menu is extensive.

    Service was absolutely wonderful, quick, and outstanding. They work hard. Deliver food to the table fast. Portion is good. The broth here is different and absolutely delicious. It has like a more sweeter bone broth to it. It was absolutely delicious and different. This will be one of my new favorite Pho spots to go to. Would come back. They are very kind and hard-working. I would love to try new dishes from here next time I come.

    Saigon BBQ Noodle House has officially earned a permanent spot in our dinner rotation, and for good reason. We've been back multiple times now always a great sign. Plus it keeps delivering every single visit. The pho is phenomenal. Seriously, the broth is rich, deeply layered, and clearly made with care. For the price, it's an absolute steal and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better bowl in the Sunset for what they charge. It's the kind of pho that makes you wonder why you ever eat anywhere else. But don't sleep on the rest of the menu. The clay pot dishes are comforting and packed with flavor, and the BBQ beef is a must-order tender, well-seasoned, and just the right amount of smoky char. Between those three alone, you could come back a dozen times and not get bored. The space is huge, which is a blessing in a neighborhood where you're often squeezed into a corner table at other spots. No awkward waits hovering over someone finishing their meal just walk in, get settled, and relax. Service is fast without feeling rushed, which is exactly what you want when you're hungry. This place is a Sunset gem. If you haven't been yet, go. If you have, you already know.

    I've always passed this place and never really looked inside. I saw on yelp it had positive reviews and decided to give it a try, I always dine in at restaurants on this block or nearby and I can't believe it took this long to finally try it! I was surprised how clean & spacious this place was cause from the outside I wouldn't have expected. The service was great, very quick and helpful. Both the bun Bo hue and rice plate were good! Definitely recommend both!! The bbh perfect amount of spice and the rice plate had a pretty large portion!

    So far my go to for solid Vietnamese food. I standard order is my go to shrimp noodle rolls, bun bo rei, pho, and tried the garlic noodles with beef. All so good! The bun bo rei was really spicy, which I love. The meat and noodles for both soups were great and the broths super flavorful. The garlic noodles were perfect along with the steak. Def doesn't disappoint.

    A gem! Amazing service - they are a nice, attentive, and friendly from the get go. Ordered the pho #1 which had incredible broth. There were a lot of different meats and they don't go light on the noodles. The vermicelli with egg roll, chicken was delicious. They give a large slab of chicken and shrimp. We wanted a bit more noodles but overall this dish was a hit!

    5. Bún riêu / Crab noodle soup
    Anna T.

    Food 4/5 We ordered bun rieu and broken rice. The bun rieu flavor is good but they didn't have any of the crab meatballs, which is my fav in the dish. Broken rice dish was good, fav protein was the chicken, the beef and pork tasted a little dry, would re-order though. Service 4/5 Usual service Ambiance 4.5/5 I like how spacious the restaurant is and the tables can be arranged for all party sizes.

    I really liked this place! Have been trying to find a good lowkey Vietnamese place and this place checked all the boxes. The fresh spring rolls were so fresh and the sauce was fantastic. The shrimp garlic noodle plate was also delicious. I tried my friends pho broth and it was delicious. Our waiter was great too even thought the language barrier was a bit tough, he gave solid reccomendation and great service. I'll be back!!

    After our visit of the Monet & Venice exhibit at de Young Museum this morning, we opted for pho. We googled and found the Saigon BBQ Noodle House. Seem to be it has a very good review on Yelp. So we drove and were lucky to find a street parking on the busy street of Irving. We got our table easily as it was not full yet at noon. The server & owner Dan gave us an enormous menu like a book. There was many selection of food to choose from dry, soup and cold food. For appetizer we ordered the Fried Squid. It was deep fried battered small squid. I did not eat the light crispy batter just the small tender squid. I ordered the Special Soup #1, my friends ordered the Rice Plate #42 and Rice Plate # 27 with steam rice instead. I enjoyed my seafood pho. One friend recognized Dan is the father with two sons who were helping him. They used to have a restaurant in Brisbane and they confirmed. They exchanged talk and said what a small world. Overall good food, clean dining room & nice wall decor. Service is exemplary. For casual restaurant and comfort food, this is the restaurant to go with family and friends. We don't mind returning.

    Summary: Tasty, wallet-friendly Vietnamese Details: Huge menu of tasty, classic Vietnamese eats at wallet-friendly prices, with generous portions. What else could you ask for? The bun rieu I got had good flavor, with a solid assortment of odds and ends inside, and the pho my wife ordered was plenty enjoyable as well. And while I prefer the pho overall at Golden Star due to their more-balanced broth and more tender cuts of meat, the overall pho at Saigon has a bit more intensity of flavor due to a broth that's more salted than we'd like on its own, but that works well as a whole. And for better or worse, depending on your preference, the rice noodles here are a bit more on the firm side: an al dente vermicelli, if there's such a thing. Most other pho spots are on the springier or even soggy side, while Saigon's has almost that similar pasta-like undercooked quality to it, while simultaneously somehow not getting soggy even after sitting in broth for extended periods of time. Accessibility: Plenty of accessible seating, with space to move around. You'll likely have a harder time finding accessible parking outside.

    35. Cơm tẩm bi, gà nưỡng, tàu hũ ky, chả / Broken rice
    Olivia Z.

    I love com tam!! This is one of the few places in sf I found which serve it with broken rice instead of normal rice. The chicken was beautifully seasoned and not dry at all, rice was chewy and perfectly cooked, and I love the fish sauce here. I do wish it came with pickled vegetables but the pork cake and shrimp cake were both super yummy. I would 10/10 come back for this dish again and next time I would eat it in the restaurant so it's even fresher! Ratings Chicken broken rice (Com Tam): 5/5

    This place is my favorite because their rice noodle shrimp and grilled chicken with egg rolls are outstanding.

    I love this place grateful very clean and a wonderful service every single time. I'm here. I'm here every week. Dine in and order to go as well

    The food was very yummy! I ordered dishes I've never had before like the seafood clay pot rice and catfish clay pot. Even though the prices are higher than across the street, I think the special dishes are worth it. However, the portion size for the seafood clay pot rice is too small for $18. It wasn't enough rice for both my dad and me, even though $18 would be a large size for Chinese clay pot. However, the lemongrass and turmeric sauce they used for the Vietnamese seafood clay pot rice is very unique and yummy. The rice is very flavorful and the bottom is crispy. It came with onions, 2 pieces of mussels, 3 pieces of squid, 2 fish balls, and a few pieces of shrimp. The portion size for the catfish clay pot is reasonable. It came with 2 pieces of tail and 4 big pieces. The sauce was very favorable and yummy. I definitely recommend the catfish clay pot since it's something I couldn't order somewhere else. I asked for no spicy so unsure if it's normally spicy because another restaurant I ate this at had way too much black pepper which overpowered the fish taste, but not here because I tasted the yummy fish with the yummy sauce! No wait on a Saturday afternoon. I will come back to try more of the entrees!

    Nice wall wall. Easy to clean walls if needed.

    Do they take reservations for large parties (10 people)?

    Hi, they do not take reservations in general. I only know since we tried last weekend. Lol! But they do have rabies that can fit that many.

    What is this restaurant's health score? It's not searchable on the SF health dept website.

    They've only been open since January. This might be the reason you can't find the health score.

    My friends and I visited Anh Hong as a large group of 9 and we able to try out a wide variety of…read moretheir dishes. 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.

The last two Saturdays in San Francisco have been not as sunny as people want them to be. One thing I always like to get in those days soup. When the sun is down I go to get Pho Ga at a Vietnamese restaurant. So I decide to pay An Chi a visit. On a weekend stroll on Geary boulevard in SF I landed at An Chi. Inside there is plenty of seating and it has an interesting and welcoming decor. The menu has everything from Banh Mi to different Buns like Bun Rieu to Bun Cha Gio Ga Nuong. I decided to get Garlic Noodle with Five Spice chicken. The noodles were like Angel hair but with a garlicky taste. I then I got the Pho Ga and the broth was tasty and it was refreshing . The noodles were fresh and chicken was tender. Overall a great place to grab Vietnamese food in SF. It feels the Fall has already "begun" when there are days in the Summer where there is barely any "sun "and some visitors and tourists get surprise and some are "stun"but you can get something warm like some some Pho along with some "bun" Go to Geary which is a boulevard and not a "street"where they serve lemon grass and bbq "meat" the Summer in SF isn't always sunshine and trying to hide from the "heat"it's also enjoying Pho and garlic noodles which are like Angel hair because An Chi is a good place to "eat"

Also ordered the grilled pork vermicelli with egg roll. It was a big portion. It came with 2 pieces of thin but big pieces of grilled pork. The pork and dipping sauce was on the more sweeter side.

Amazing service - We felt that we were very well attended to. We didn't have to flag anyone for service. It's as if they know exactly when to check on you.

One valuable tip - if you do not already know - fork in some garlic noodles into the crab shell so the pasta gets coated with the mustard colored crab fat.

Service, at least upstairs in the large but rather austere room, was done by a very direct waitress who seemed to be either used to culling tourists, or was being very direct about the menu, possibly both? 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.
