This lunchtime favorite is situated right between San Francisco's downtown and North Beach, and fills up with locals in search of a great bowl of noodles. There is a BBQ beef vermicelli bowl, served with lettuce, bean sprouts, mint leaves, shredded cucumber and diced peanuts; Vietnamese grilled chicken marinated with lemon grass; shrimp hot 'n' sour soup; and a curry of rock cod with bamboo shoots, onion, and celery in coconut milk.
Try the classic Pho, a Vietnamese noodle soup served with crunchy fresh vegetables and seasonings on the side, usually with beef but also available with chicken, seafood, or crab. Appetizers include ground shrimp on a sugar cane stick, Vietnamese spring rolls, and a French-inspired, pan-friend crispy crepe with shrimp and chicken served with lettuce and basil.
Other local favorites include shrimp cooked in a clay pot; chow mein; and crispy noodles with prawns, string beans, and pineapple. There are also nearly 20 vegetarian items to choose from.
Afterward, savor a slow-dripped Vietnamese iced coffee and fried bananas and ice cream. Don't expect any great décor here - it's strictly fluorescent light territory - but a cheap and filling way to fuel up.
