Quick business lunch meeting. Pho was good and the service was awesome. Don't know her name but she was so nice and made our business lunch much more pleasant. Thank you.

I cannot say enough good things about Tin Vietnamese. Their pho has literally been getting me through my pregnancy. It always arrives incredibly fresh, the portions are generous, and the pho gà is perfection every single time. Big, tender chunks of chicken breast, flavorful broth, and consistently fresh ingredients — they never miss. I even order extra broth with ginger to sip in the mornings, and it’s the only time I don’t feel nauseous and get morning sickness with my pregnancy. That’s how comforting and high-quality it is. The chả giò is always fresh, crunchy, and delicious too! My fiancé is now completely hooked as well (which is great because we order at least once a week!). This place has become a staple in our home, and they have never disappointed. Highly, highly recommend.

The clear broth has been carefully simmered to bring out a deep, refreshing flavor that isn’t too salty. The soup broth tastes like Korean 짬뽕. I think this is the best Pho restaurant you can go to in SF downtown.

My new favorite Vietnamese spot! You know the food is good when you only took 1 photo. Really recommend the Tin roll & this rice plate! The place is quite small but there wasn’t a wait around lunch time.

A server who can speak Korean recommended decent foods and my family was totally satisfied!

Tried their vermicelli bowl with grilled beef and I thought the flavours and textures were amazing. It came with a generous serving of well seasoned and nicely chargrilled beef. The cold noodles, crisp vegetables and savoury beef were a perfect combination. It was perfect for a light meal.

Got recommended by a friend, the Pho Bo was really good, came out instantly too. Super flavorful. We also got the Lemongrass Tofu rice dish which was delicious. I really liked the service from Andrew, didn’t hover and came at the perfect time. Definitely check it out!

Honestly would give a 4.5 star. Was my 2nd time at this place, and it was my 1st time trying the Xiu Mai, Vietnamese style. It was soooo good! The baguette and the meatballs with soup went so well together! Their phos and noodles both base were flavourful too, but the noodles could be better.

Martin Blais

Absolutely fantastic Vietnamese food. Authentic and generous. The Hu Tieu "dry" soup was amazing! Very friendly service too. Lovely dinner.

This place blew me away! The whole staff, not just my server, was super friendly. Food came out fast and piping hot. We ordered three dishes and all of them were impressive. The Banh Xeo was especially crispy and fragrant with a hint of mung bean, and the Hue rolls were extremely good. The Vietnamese cuisine here really exceeded my expectations and it’s all at a great price. Definitely worth a visit!

This restaurant was excellent. We chose this as it was just down the road from the hotel and had great reviews and what a choice it was. We had the Tin Rolls (server encouraged us to try these), Bun Ga Xa and the Caramelized Claypot Shrimp. Each of these were absolutely fantastic! The shrimp dish had lots of big tasty shrimp which is a nice change from places that are stingy with them! The service was excellent too. The restaurant seemed to be doing lots of UberEats/Grubhub orders and that is always a good sign.

I’m surprised by this place! Unique and special - we ordered the Tin roll -with crunchy fried shallot, lemongrass grilled pork and boiled egg in it - is very different from what I normally get from Vietnamese restaurants.

I can't wait to return to Tin! Their Shaken Beef is so delicious. The beef is in large cubes and they are tender and juicy. I have no idea how they stir fried large cubes of beef and make it so tender! The Caramelized Claypot Catfish is great too. The fish is full of flavors. My mouth is watering just from thinking about it. I recommend getting the Hue Roll for the appetizer. The grill pork inside of the roll is crispy and well seasoned which really brings extra texture to the roll. The service is great too. The waitress even offered to let me taste a wine before committing to ordering it. And unlike a lot pho restaurants, Tin is well decorated with great ambiance.

Classic Vietnamese cuisine is indeed very tasty 😋. I’m glad to found this restaurant. The server is polite and prompt. The vegetables and ingredients are fresh. Proteins are not over cooked and texture is made just right. Rice noodles texture is great, neither soggy nor too firm. Marination and seasoning to the proteins and dishes are made right and not too salty. I will revisit again.

Delicious food, and interesting dishes like five spice quail ($13.5). Most of their dishes were pork based but there are some beef, chicken and shrimp options too. We came around 12pm on a Saturday and were able to find seating but the place filled up quickly shortly after. Great service, low key decorations/ambience, you're really there for the food and it's worth it.

I got chicken Karaage and ramen with hot curry and fried gyoza. The ramen and curry were great and the curry was nice and spicy and the gyoza were fresh and flavorful but I would have liked them better of they were pan fried on the bottom instead of deep fried. I would try other things here for sure so I would recommend ordering ahead of time.

Katsu curry was good, chicken was tender, curry was flavorful. I got the large karage too for $9 the flavor is good I wish they will fill it up all the way to the top since i paid for the large karage it looks like i got the small portion but in a larger container.

Had the delicious Chicken Katsu curry (medium spicy) and was oh so delicious - perfectly crispy pieces and such a flavorful curry. As of yesterday, the place doesn't offer any dining options either indoors or outdoors, so you may want to figure out a nearby park or seating quickly to consume it while it's hot!

They say it is cheap. Well that is only to SF standards because I don’t find it cheap. Food is really interesting taste wise. Staff is friendly and food prepared to order quite quickly. Location is off tourist places and surrounded by many other cafes. Inside very little place for dining. Good for take away. Has toilet inside and no wifi.

Interesting Curry Style Japanese food. Line at lunch can run out the door and across the corner. When you ask for spicy, it is SPICY not for the faint of heart. Chicken is perfectly fried

I’m a regular but lately, there has been some deterioration in food quality. I usually get the curry pork cutlet.The pork was fried to almost brown (maybe they don’t change the oil that often being so busy). Prices have really gone up so I hope they give customers a break.

I had the vegeterian pho it was nice Had much less flavor than I expected though The papaya salad was incredible very interesting taste loved it Also the fire cracker shrimp was the best

Basic Vietnamese restaurant with very tasty food. It’s popular for takeout as well as dine in. It’s a hidden gem if you have the craving for pho. The Hue rolls had the thinnest wrap, grilled pork added to the pop of taste. Loved the texture. The fried rolls were a hit as well. Crunchy, crispy and tasty. Loved it. Wrap it with lettuce, mint, basil and it’s magic. Beef pho hit the spot. Broth was well balanced. Thinly sliced beef wasn’t overcooked. The beef chunks in the broth wasn’t dried out. Noodles were the thin type which was great for absorbing the broth. The spicy noodle soup had thicker noodles, almost like udon. It was delicious as well. It seems this place is popular with locals. Service was very efficient. Go for the pho fix!

Slightly upscale pho near my hotel. Enjoy so much the special pho with tomato chicken broth. Added crab and pork ball that’s quite unique with some slices of pork meat ham. Ordered the fried 5 spice quail but find it too dry due to overly fried or too small the quail probably. Overall a great place to enjoy the pho for a quick lunch. Food served fast and no lean environment.

Got a medium spicy katsu curry and was fairly spicy! So if you are unsure, err on the lower side! Food tasted good, nothing super special. Not the worst curry I've had, but also not the best. Fairly liquidly curry, not thick at all. This is also one of those pick-up only locations, so don't expect to be able to sit down and eat. You order and pick up at the window.

The vegetarian curry sauce is good. However asking about if the tofu and vegetable curry has potatoes the clerk said "I don't think so, but you can order them as an add-on." I did that but it seems from other photos potatoes are already included so I paid the extra charge for no reason. Overall it was pretty expensive for curry ($25). I don't like that it's takeout only and you can't really tell that from the photos of the food on the reviews.

Ordered a Katsu Curry for dinner via DoorDash. The curry was subtle and good. However, the katsu was flavorless and unseasoned. I loved the pickled vegetables though! I probably wouldn’t order again.

Food: 3/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall: A decent Vietnamese option downtown. Would I come back: If someone had the hankering and really wanted to go here. The extended review… Food: Fire Cracker Shrimp - 3.5/5 - Pretty tasty dish and of course I love the sauce to dip it in which is on the sweeter side. Shaken Beef - 3/5 - Standard fare in terms of taste. I could have definitely used a bigger portion size. Service: 3.5/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3/5 - A pretty standard setting for an asian restaurant in terms of decor.

I would like to give zero star for this place. I ordered 30 minutes ago online but had to wait in line for pick up. I asked for a bag for this take out but they said I didn’t order the “bag”. I had to say every time I ordered here I was offered a bag when picked up. I was being treated differently today because I saw others pay without a “bag” while I stayed in line but they still were offered a “bag”. And the ladies gave me extremely bad attitude I wouldn’t come here again.

I decided to try this restaurant based on its high ratings, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. During the meal, I noticed that some slices of meat had an unusual green, metallic-looking surface, which immediately raised concern. I informed the server right away, but he only said, “I will check,” and no further action was taken. I placed the questionable meat on a separate plate, and throughout the entire meal, no one followed up or addressed the issue. Only after clearing the table did the server go to the back to check with another staff member. He later returned and told me that the chef said it was “normal.” Afterward, I did my own research and learned that this appearance usually indicates the meat is no longer fresh, though it doesn’t necessarily mean it has spoiled. Since I didn’t eat it, I can’t comment on the taste. Overall, the way the staff handled a food safety concern was very disappointing and made the experience uncomfortable. Both the service and food quality fell far short of expectations, especially for a restaurant with such positive reviews.
