“ The food was good, as expected not overwhelming nor under; service was good even though very busy with take out orders. Hot bowl of pho on a rainy night hit the spot!!! ”
“ Totally worth the wait! If you're craving chicken pho on a cold day this is definitely the spot. The broth is full of flavor and the portion is quite generous. The noodles are the thicker silver rice noodles which makes for an even comfier soothing bowl of noodles. The bun rieu has good shrimp flavor and comes with a good amount of toppings. Although they use thin vermicelli which makes a slightly mushier bite than what I'm used to. Despite this the bowl is still solid. Excited to come back for another bowl of pho soon! ”
“ Pho was the perfect meal on a cold sf day. We all got the pho ga and it was so healing and delicious. The chicken with skin i believe us dark meat while if you don't get skin, it's white meat. The pho came the thicker noodles (ho fun) and the broth was tasty. I love that the dish came with ginger scallion sauce for the chicken. The chicken was so tender, but I do feel like they did not give enough (and I generally don't like too much!!). Would come back again but really wish there was at least double the amount of protein. I also did feel very thirsty after the meal, the soup was definitely very flavorful ”
“ 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 of their pho. ”
“ Tried this place a while ago and totally forgot to write a review. We had it delivered so no comment on dine in experience. Food was flavorful and appetizing. Craving Vietnamese today, so may get something from here again. Located on Noriega and 20th Ave. ”
“ Pho Ga's chicken pho is my go to comfort food. Rich, savory broth, tender chicken, and perfect noodles consistently hit the spot. I've been returning for years and it never fails. But Pho Ga is more than just chicken noodle soup. Their menu also has delicious banh mi, refreshing vermicelli bowls, bun bo hue and more!! Pho Ga is my go to spot whether I'm fighting a cold or seeking comfort :) ”
“ I recently came across a Reddit post about pho places that are similar to turtle tower. The people recommended pho ga and I finally got to try it today. I'm so happy to find another place in the city that makes the northern style chicken pho! I got the pho ga which is chicken noodle soup. It comes with fresh rice noodles and lots of chicken meat. There's also a side of ginger dipping sauce. I also tried their garlic noodle 5 spice chicken and thought it was good. The noodles aren't greasy like other places. It's packed with garlic flavor! Happy to discover this spot and I will be back ”
“ A Vietnamese dive worth trying on Noriega is Pho Ga on 20th Avenue. Came here for lunch with many waiting for takeout orders while my friend and I easily found a table. Within ten minutes though, this place was full! An extensive menu displays various dishes. My friend ordered pho and five spiced chicken, which she enjoyed. I ordered a vermicelli w/ grilled beef and thought some beef pieces were tough, but tasty. Soothing Muzak plays in the background and the wait staff didn't shoo us off with the bill even though we sat for quite a long time. A comfortable place for some comfort food! ”
“ Pho places are a dime a dozen in the Sunset district, but it's always nice to find a spot that I would look forward to returning to. Pho Ga has nice interior vibes with soothing music playing as you enjoy their pho. Their Pho Ga, which is their signature item, has nice tender pieces of boneless chicken coupled with a broth that is flavorful, yet not too salty. Their beef pho uses really tender meat and an equally balanced flavor broth. Their beef pho garlic noodles are not overly flavorful and oily like some other places, and the 5 spice chicken are also really tender! Overall, would definitely return and recommend :) ”
“ Chance find and what a good one at that! We were seated in a mostly empty restaurant, but a lot of people came in for pick up orders. We ordered the rare beef pho and I got the grilled chicken & imperial roll with vermicelli. One thing I noticed was that there are no small or large size bowls options of pho on the menu--it's just one size. Our orders came quickly and right away our bowl of noodles were pretty big. It may be normal, but other restaurants offer small and large sizes, this place has just one size. I thought the portion was generous; lots of noodles and meat & the broth was very flavorful. The chicken bun was also very good, served with a nice balanced portion of lettuce. I added the sauce, mixed it and it was so delicious. It's misleading that the menu listed grilled chicken, but it was like a roasted leg quarter minus the drumstick. The skin was crispy. This is going to be my new go-to spot for pho. I can't wait to come back. ”
