SoMa, San Francisco · restaurant
A Vietnamese spot steps from the Caltrain station with a menu that spans phở, bánh hỏi, and a charred chicken thigh rice plate that stands out on its own. Easy to walk in without a reservation, good for big groups, and priced at a level where ordering several dishes makes sense.
Fresh spring rolls with shrimp, rice noodles, and herbs wrapped in rice paper
Classic Vietnamese beef noodle soup with rice noodles, tender beef, and fresh herbs
Smoky grilled chicken thigh over steamed rice with a side of nuoc cham
