Pho Ga — Restaurant in San Francisco

I came here with my family for a simple birthday dinner. It was my first time here and I was a bit nervous about the food, but I was pleasantly surprised how good it was! I ordered their #19, bun bo hue. I liked it, but was disappointed on how inconsistent it was in the spice level. Several of us ordered the BBH and you could tell each bowl had a different spice level from the red flakes and spicy oil amounts in each bowl. It has a good amount of blood jelly in it, so that was a plus!

Service was great! They were very accommodating with the kids by offering them water right away instead of tea, which were for the adults. They also allowed us to order a plain pho without any garnish for the children along with small bowls with plastic utensils.

The interior kind of has a hole in the wall vibe to it, which is what I was fine for me for my birthday celebration because I wanted something low key and inexpensive. Our total for 9 people (this includes 2 small children) was ~$140, not including tips, so not bad at all for dinner!

There is parking in front, but that fills up quickly from the nearby dessert and boba places, but you can also find more parking around the corner too! Great spot for a chill/low key and inexpensive dinner! I would love to be back to try some...

Pho Ga is such a comforting stop when you’re craving a hearty bowl of chicken pho. We ordered both the classic pho ga and the curry pho ga, along with an order of egg rolls to share.

The regular pho ga had a clean, soothing broth — light but still flavorful, with tender slices of chicken and noodles that were soft and easy to slurp. It’s the kind of bowl that feels nourishing without being overly salty or greasy. The curry pho ga, on the other hand, was the standout for me. The broth was golden, aromatic, and layered with a subtle richness from the curry — something you don’t often find at most pho shops. It’s hearty and unique but still maintains that pho comfort factor.

Egg rolls came out hot and crispy, perfect with the dipping sauce and pickled veggies on the side. Service was quick and efficient, even though the restaurant was buzzing during lunch.

Overall, a reliable spot for chicken pho lovers, and the curry pho is absolutely worth a try if you’re looking for something a little different. Solid 4/5 in my book — satisfying, flavorful, and a place I’d happily revisit when the...

A must try is #25 Spicy Mixed Vegetables and Tofu Noodle Soup, has broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, carrots, and tofu. It is garnished with freshly chopped cilantro, red onion, and string onions. Steal and squeeze a lime wedge from my wife and it just takes the dish to another level!! Oh the broth is awesome too, just the right amount of spicy heat. Highly recommend. At times, the background jazz piano music is so chill ...

Eating this everyday guarantee to lose weight, right? right? BTW, an added benefit, search spicy food and endorphin (morphine like substance release in the brain) and you will see. Probably hard to overdose on endorphins though, not that I have tried .. honest.

Ok for those who prefer regular NON-SPICY version, they have that too. Just tell the nice ladies...
