Generous portion, fast friendly service attendants in a cozy setting. My go to spot for free range chicken pho in the area, would recommend. Ps: their spicy chili sauce is top notch :)
I heard great things about their chicken soup. I enjoy this place because they have wide noodles which I haven't enjoyed in SF since Turtle Tower. The broth is a bit salty but the meat is super tender. Definitely one of the cheaper places to get pho in the city now. Lots of seating, was able to get a table for four no problem on a Sunday night. Service is quick and casual. They do charge extra for a to-go box (35 cents) which I found out later on the bill :(
It is a family-friendly restaurant, and the service is friendly. The food is flavorful, and everything is made fresh. The pho has a lot of meat, and the broth has a lot of flavor. The ambiance is bright and welcoming.
12/19/23 I met up with some friends at Pho Recipe since pho tastes way better on a cold winter evening. Pho Recipe is located in Outer Sunset, so somewhat of a trek for me since I live out in the Peninsula. Parking around there wasn't too bad surprisingly because I was able to park across the street. We got there around 6PM and there was no wait. Here's what we got to share: - Papaya salad - Shrimp spring roll We each got our own noodle soups. I specifically got the Five Spice chicken noodle soup. The shrimp rolls were pretty standard with the usual peanut sauce. The papaya salad was refreshing. I got the large noodle soup and finished the entire thing. The chicken was tender and juicy. Pho Recipe is a good spot if you want something more on the casual side. Portions and pricing are decent.
Ordered their signature chicken noodle soup. They had a pretty solid food options, mostly comfort food!! I really liked adding their spicy sauce to the noodle soup. Portion sizes were larger than other restaurants, even the chicken was well portioned. Ambiance was casual and mostly clean. Make sure you bring cash.
Ordered takeout from Pho Recipe and really enjoyed what we tried. The combination beef pho was flavorful and the tofu vermicelli hit the spot as a nice and light vegetarian dish. The shrimp summer rolls are also worth a try! Ordering over the phone was easy and service was efficient. One recommendation would be for the restaurant to consider shifting to sustainable/compostable packaging. Solid spot for Vietnamese cuisine!
Solid spot for some pho!! They have the wider rice noodles on default for all the pho bowls but you can request the thinner rice noodles if you want. Rich broth and quality cuts of meat in #21 Pho Tai, perfect on a cold day. We did take out and service was quick, 2 orders ready in 10 min. Ambiance is pretty no frills but they definitely serve up a good meal. One note for take out, they only packed one serving size of toppings and also didn't include any hoisin or sriracha sauce. Might need to ask for that when you carry out.
Always curious about this place when waiting in line next door for Dim Sum, glad we had a chance to eat lunch here today. This appears to be a popular spot for locals, from the many pictures posted on the walls, they offer a variety of yummy looking authentic (I think) Vietnamese dishes. On a chilly day, nothing beats a piping hot bowl of pho and that's exactly what we had. Hubby ordered the beef rib pho (no.24) and I went for the combo (no. 20). Both of our orders came within minutes, we were happy to see the steam coming out of the giant bowls. There were two pieces of ribs in the large beef rib pho ($16.95) ; lots of beef / beef balls in the large combo pho ($15.50). We liked the generous portions of tasty beef broth served piping hot, the many slices of beef in the combo was very tender and of great quality. Both of the pho came with soft wide rice noodles which met the liking of hubby, I however prefer the thinner/chewier noodles. The beef ribs were over cooked and on the dryer side (perhaps the end of the batch); I also missed having tendon in my combo pho. Overall we did enjoy our lunch; will be back to try other interesting looking dishes.
