Weekday lunch: 5–10 minutes, though lines form right at noon
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – pho chay and multiple rice/noodle dishes with tofu and vegetables.
Vegan options: Limited – 2–3 soups and stir-fries without fish sauce upon request.
Gluten-free options: Yes – pho and rice-based dishes work well, though soy sauce is not GF.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for romance – it’s casual and efficient, better suited for a working lunch or casual meet-up.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes – they don’t take reservations, but arriving early or outside peak lunch/dinner hours usually ensures quick seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for families with older kids; high chairs aren’t common, but the menu and quick service work for school-age children.
Best For
Better for: Cleaner, northern-style broths and Hanoi dishes that stand out from the typical pho shops in SoMa.
Skip if: You’re seeking a trendy vibe or upscale dining; this is more functional than atmospheric.
