Pho Golden

Really good Vietnamese food with extensive menu. I like that their veggies include fresh mint. While waiting for my to go order by the door, the female staff gave me a cup of hot tea. That was really nice of her. The tea was very fragrant like pandan tea served in Vietnam. Dining area is pretty big. Plenty of 4 person dining and big group dining tables. One con is parking. Very hard to find parking in the mission and residential area. Went on weekday afternoon took about 15 mins circling around. Otherwise, I think this is a good go-to spot for Vietnamese food in SF.

Very disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken curry and the soup was warm, but the chicken inside was literally cold. It felt like the kitchen just took a piece of refrigerated chicken and dropped it into the curry without bothering to reheat it properly. Biting into cold chicken in a supposedly hot dish was extremely unpleasant. To make it worse, the dish came with a whole chicken leg with skin instead of properly cut pieces. It was awkward to eat and the texture was terrible, especially since the meat inside was still cold. For a simple dish like chicken curry, serving cold chicken in soup is really unacceptable. This felt careless and poorly prepared. And the service is like none. Definitely won’t go again.

Very good pho. Flavorful broth and large chunks of meat (I ordered tendon and it was full or large chunks). Noodles were qiu-qiu and service was warm and friendly. The spring rolls were good but I think they could have had a little more flavor to it. Took a little bit of time to get our order in because I think they do quite a bit of takeout and delivery but all in all, was a good experience and good pho.

I had the Pho Ga, which was super tasty. The place is a no frills working joint, not fancy in any way. Just good food and fast service. People were eating and talking (some loudly). I came in half an hour before closing and more people kept arriving right up to the mark.

Family owned restaurant with authentic Vietnamese dishes. Staff is very friendly, food came out in a decent amount of time, hot & fresh. Finding parking can be tricky.
