Delicious, no-frills food. Quick and friendly service. Reasonably priced. No complaints. Solid place to go for routine meals!

Immaculately clean with great Viet selection! One of the brighter spots in the tenderloin area and most likely the best fish soup in all of the city is found here in this corner of little Saigon!
The large portions of pho or soup should be good enough for two people and rice meal combos with meat should fill any customer up! Great for takeout as well! And very very clean facility — including the bathroom!

Really delicious pho!! I get the rare beef pho, it has a flavorful and aromatic broth and the beef quality is better than most, always tender with huge portions every time. The owner is the nicest person, and provides quick and friendly service. Don’t be intimidated by the area, it’s not a reflection of them by any means!!

#3 – Banh Cuon Thit Nuong (warm rice rolls with grilled lemongrass pork and mint), a true crowd pleaser; fried shallots topping an added savory plus.
#29 – Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup), built off a solid pho broth, but could have benefitted from more lemongrass, citrus, sweet.
On a recent morning visit, #21 – Pho Dac Biet (standard combination beef pho) unfortunately came lukewarm with over-cooked noodles.
Overall, solid Vietnamese in the TL worth a visit; I’m hoping the disappointing experience with morning pho was only a fluke and not the standard.

We got the banh cuon (#3) for an appetizer and I also got pho ga (#25). Both were really good, but especially the banh cuon! Rice paper was very soft, I wish there was more pork in the roll though.

The food here was excellent!! I visited here with my vegetarian friend and I cannot speak highly enough about the Pho Chay specifically– BEST veggie broth I have ever tasted. Everything we had was fantastic
The service felt homey, cozy and we were well taken care of by the kind man working there. He was attentive to details and made good recommendations for us. Next time I’m in San Francisco I will definitely return!

Everyone always talked about the much more popular Pho 2000 next door, but after trying Golden Lotus this is my go-to spot.
Portion sizes are a bit smaller, but the beef quality is far better, the broth is more flavorful, the herbs are more plentiful, and the service is friendlier.
Pro tip: they open early so you can come here for a post-workout (or hangover) breakfast pho!

Simply delicious! We actually walked by this place after picking up our usual Pho fare from Pho2000 next door last week. I think this may be our secret gem. It doesn’t seem very busy and their menu is pretty much the same as the other Pho joints around but the difference is in the details. We ordered takeout: Pho Dat Biet and Bun Rieu. The ingredients felt more fresh and the soups are more flavorful. The phos before this place seem to be watered down or more bland in comparison. For the Bun Rieu, they put more ingredients like actual cooked tomatoes (so sweet) and shrimps (deveined and all). The minced pork is not just floating around; they are like meat balls and easier to eat. The wait is very short 5-10 min. Overall, great experience!
