Pho Huong Viet

Probably the best bowl of pho in my life!! So flavorful, and the pickled garlic and sauces let you really perfect your taste. I debated between M and L because I was so hungry, and went with Large. But it was still so much food I couldn’t finish and had leftovers. Service was slightly slow because it was busy Friday night, but it was soooo worth it!

I was still hungry when I left. Their #1 special beef pho, all meats $18.75 (M) felt more like a small. Their broth is clean tasting and is complex. There's no bean sprouts, Thai basil or hoisin sauce as it is northern style pho. This is my first time having julienned fresh ginger in pho. It prolly took them a lot work to slice them like that. While it didn't add anything to the taste of the pho, I can appreciate the effort. Not bad for San Francisco standards. I prefer going to SJ for some really good pho. Service was fine as I didn't have to wait for a table and the food came out quick. Tables were available at 1pm on a Sunday.

One of my best northern pho place in SF! Love all the ginger they put on it. Clear and favorful soup, and nice fresh beef! Must eat!

It was not the pho that I am used to, but the one from the north as the owner explained to me. First, they don't give you basil and sprouts, only jalapenos and lime. The soup itself has chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, and julienned ginger sticks added to it. Also, they use fresh noodles instead of dry ones. The soup, the flank stake and meatballs flavors were good. I wish I took out ginger before I mixed it all in. Not my thing. Also, the fresh noodles are too slippery to my taste, and don't hold a lot of soup. Not bad overall, but I prefer a more traditional pho.

This is the best pho in San Francisco for sure! The ingredients are super fresh, you can teste it. The garlic sauce plus the ginger is the perfect combination. Family owned clean delicious. I leave this place thinking about when I'm coming back. Thanks
