I love going to the Mission district in SF. Remembered when I would go down that way when a KFC still existed and Valencia St. was not yet known to be hipster. You went there to get your fixing for a super fat burrito and nothing else! Or you would pop your head in and wait in line at Mitchell's for some coconut or ube ice cream or sundae! Pho Day is a casual Vietnamese restaurant opened not too long ago. The imperial rolls were Amazing!!! Loved the crisp and crunch. The vermicelli w/ shrimp was a solid choice w/ good sized prawns. The pho was good and had a clean taste. Wished they would put more noodles and meat! I'm glad that the Mission/Bernal Heights now has another spot for Pho. You can get some Mitchell's ice cream for dessert right after your meal! Service was efficient. Parking...

The five spice chicken was on the dry side. And the bun vermicelli bowl I ordered lacked a lot of flavor.
I didn’t take a picture of the pho we ordered, but that too was just ok.
Feel free to go here and give it a try, I just didn’t think it...
Read moreIt should have been a red flag when I saw the menu and they didn't have any authentic pho add-ons like tripe or tendon, so I opted for the bun bo hue because of another review. Which btw, those that say this place doesn't disappoint has not had good Vietnamese food.
The BBH had meats that don't really belong in the dish and lacked any beef or savory flavor. It literally was, dish water with some chili oil and overcooked noodles.
The service was lacking and we had to locate a staff member to close out. Definitely one of the worse Vietnamese food experiences I've had.
Oh, and who does wonton add-ons to pho? Terrible. Only reason for the second star is because it's new and...
