Bare-bones eatery drawing a lunch crowd for Vietnamese essentials like pho & curry.

The best Pho Bo so far! Very nice brouth! Also there are many sauce bottles on the table, ypu can add them to make your Pho more special. I made mine more spicy. My husband ordered curry with lamb, it was awesome! Very deep and correct flavors. I wish you could add Tom Yum in menu, I’ve never tried a good Tom Yum in United States, to be honest. Neither in SF, nor in NYC or Sacramento. Maybe you could make the best one, since you’re so skilled with soups! We will definitely come back.

Our waiter was funny, attentive, and helpful – didn’t catch a name, but he has a letter tattoo on his neck. Props to him for making the experience doubly enjoyable. Following his recommendation, I ordered the Chicken Bahn Mi – which was satisfying and flavorful. The bun was crispy and soft, the chicken well marinated and well cooked. The ingredients were fresh and filling- the portion generous to the point I saved half for dinner. The pork dish my friend ordered was succulent and tasty – planning my next visit already!
I appreciated the complementary barley tea as well.

The most amazing food. Everything was delicious. Loved the pork rice balls, Crepe, Pho, and vermicelli bowl with lemongrass pork.

My husband and I came here for dinner—he’s been for lunch before and couldn’t wait for me to try it since we both love Vietnamese food. Everything we ordered was fresh and clearly made with high-quality ingredients.
One standout was the crispy rice balls stuffed with pork—so crunchy and flavorful, something really unique and delicious. The lemongrass beef spring rolls were also incredible—some of the best I’ve had. The lettuce was bright and fresh (not the usual filler cabbage you get at other places), and everything tasted super balanced and tender.
The broth in our soup was rich, complex, and so comforting. Highly recommend Sai’s if you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food made with care. We’ll definitely be back!

Took my Vietnamese brothers here cause they were craving pho in San Francisco. Was a big mistake. Not good, not authentic. Broth not flavorful. Very little meat for the dac biet bowl. Do not recommend.

Chicken curry with baguette is delicious. One serving was meaty. Chicken was tender. Service was quick. Spring Rolls was not good. It was tiny, hard and chewy. Not enough filling.

Incredible Vietnamese food! My boyfriend got the beef stew, which comes with rice—highly recommend adding the baguette for $5 to soak up all that rich broth (he insists it’s a must!). I went with the chicken banh mi ($15.59) and it was unlike any I’ve had before—super flavorful and really satisfying. Heads up: they do charge for to-go containers, but it’s not mentioned up front. That aside, the restaurant is clean (yes, including the bathroom!) and the service was solid. Definitely coming back to try more dishes!

Customer service was great. Our waiter was friendly and quick. He made us feel welcomed and even put the basketball game on the tv for us. Orders can be taken with a QR code at the table or by the server. Order came out fairly quick and order paid for by the qr code so everything was quick. Food was delicious. The pho broth tasted well balanced and very good.

10/10 service, atmosphere, location. The food is amazing, fresh, and a great value. I had to stop eating my food to leave this 5 star review because it is way too good.

Definitely a mom and pop kinda shop. You can see right into the kitchen so you know it’s hot and fresh. The pho and rice could definitely have used a bit more flavor, be it salt, soy or garlic, was definitely a bit lacking. However the fish balls were wonderful, the curry flavoring was perfect and well plated. Prices were incredibly fair in an otherwise overpriced market.
