Got this on ubereats! Came super quick. They were mindful of our peanut allergy. Loved the chicken spring roll over the shrimp. All delicious tho <3 The bone broth was fire!

Fine spring rolls, the pork was really dry, but the peanut sauce mostly made up for it. The rolls could’ve used a bit of pizzazz in some form, as they were pretty plain as is. While this restaurant is located within the Metreon building, but the only entrance is from the exterior of the building.

Small unassuming restaurant with fast service through an automated kiosk ordering system. Not much of a dining room. The bahn mi were delicious. Very fresh roll and tasty grilled pork. The spring roll was fantastic. Everything is made fresh to order.

I love Vietnamese foods and my friend recommended this place for healthy option . I tried many Vietnamese restaurants including in Vietnam! But this fresh spring rolls are one of the best in my life !! Sauces were my favourite taste , big portion and a lot of fresh Green inside . Prawns were big and pork tasted great !! I also ordered salad . They marinated with their own home made sauce with chicken and that’s so yummy too ! Although there was not much interaction but I could feel staffs were kind and caring ! One female staff helped me to change the sauces quickly when I asked . I should try pho in dine in next time ! Best Vietnamese foods in SFO! Thank you !

I was surprised by the value of the place, given its location. I got a decently sized bowl of steaming hot pho, with fresh aromatics, and a good portion of steak. There’s a computer kiosk to put in the order, and the staff will call the name out. After eating my lunch, there’s a spot near the entrance to place the bowls and throw away condiment packaging. I’m still very happy with the great value of pho in this area of San Francisco, and if I’m here again for meetings, I’ll be visiting this place for lunch or dinner.
