Phở Tân Hòa | Vietnamese & Chinese Cuisine

This long-established Vietnamese restaurant was recommended by a Vietnamese person who has lived in San Francisco for many years. It's just that its location is in an area with a high concentration of homeless people. Locals are already used to it. However, for first-time visitors to San Francisco, there is a sense of worry and fear. However, those zombies generally won't bother you. Just remember the road signs. The Vietnamese flavor is very authentic. Dry-mixed beef rice noodles, fried rice, and shrimp rolls are all highly recommended. This shop only accepts cash and is open until 3 PM. Taking it to go is also a great option.

Authentic Vietnamese Pho, Noodle, and Rice dishes. Go here for the pho and spring rolls, return for the other tasty food as well. On the edge of the Tenderloin, near public transit routes and worth the walk from Market St or Union Square. Cash only, but they do have an ATM inside on the premises for your convenience. The TL district does power wash regularly to keep the sidewalks clean, public parking can have its challenges, so Uber/Lyft is recommended.

I was craving some pho, and found this place. We ordered the shrimps, and fresh salad rolls (4 rolls), the House special beef noodle soup, which came with well-done brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, beef balls, and slices of rare steak in a large bowl, and the BBQ beef, with granulated peanuts, and egg roll over vermicelli. The shrimp rolls were great, fresh shrimps, nice textured wrap, and they paired well with the peanut sauce! The pho was fragrant, served in a good portion, and the noodle texture was great! I like it! The vermicelli bowl was also a really good portion, and came loaded with a variety of ingredients on top of it. The only downside was the BBQ beef; it was way too salty and dry. *CASH ONLY

Phò Tân Hòa one of the best quality Phò in The City (*not “Da San Ho,” of course) established in TL since late 1980s and current owners who are brothers used to be employees at old joint after former owner retired sometime before the Pandemic. Anyway, “picture speaks for itself” and to sum up imhv: ❶soup base (the Vietnamese dashi which is the soul of Phò or any Asian noodles) is not mere powder like many other Pho restaurants use they were actually made by beef bones simmering for hours (ideally traditionally would be the oxtail but common let’s be realistic); ❷quantity of ingredients that are a variety: rare beef steaks (*on the side, my favorite 😉), beef tendons, tripes, flanks, brisket, beef meatballs and fresh herbs including basil leaves, cilantros, mint, rau răm (Vietnamese coriande

2025 update. We came for lunch on a Wednesday. Plenty of seats. Their pho broth is #1 in the TL and hence been rewarded with the Jeff H. Best Pho in the TL Award 2025. It is a flavorful broth that just brings it. The cashier lady/waitress is pure Vietnamese. We had their 2x #7 Pho Xe Lua Tan Hoa $17.60, #6 Bo Tai Chanh (beef carpaccio) $19.17 and #35 Mi Trieu Chau (dry) $16.80 soup on the side. Everything tasted authentic. Great job everyone at Pho Tan Hoa. Cons: There's no dinner service at Pho Tan Hoa and they closed at 3pm. The neighborhood is still the same. Watch where you walk if you have nice shoes on. We used to come to the TL and eat a lot back in the early 2000's so it doesn't bother me. Updated review 9/2/2022. I'm upgrading Pho Tan Hoa to my favorite pho restaurant in the TL.
