One of my favorite spot in the city. Always smells so amazing when I pass by. The chicken and imperial roll and pork chop are absolutely delicious. The price is so good and the ladies are masters with the grill ;)
this place is such a hidden gem serving the most authentic Vietnamese food in the city. prices are excellent and it's BYOB. highly suggest dining in so you can chat with the ladies and watch them grill your meats. make sure you order the imperial roll and remember to bring cash. they will accept cash or venmo for payment. we will definitely be back 🥰
Egg rolls is great. Had the rice dish #5. Next time definitely try the vermicelli noodle BBQ and egg rolls.
The most charming neighborhood Vietnamese BBQ spot with an amazing grill master (Katie). I came with a friend and the place was packed, but it had the most amazing, authentic, old school San Francisco feel: it's just a small hole in the wall with counter only seating, but full of locals who line up for the imperial rolls, BBQ meats and skewers, and rice and noodle specials. (The pork chop over rice with salad and the imperial rolls were our favorite). The food is delicious and the servings are huge - so much bang for your buck! Cash only. Will definitely be coming back - a real gem!
Super cozy spot with grill-facing bar seating. Greasy spoon/comfort food style. I had the #5; chicken thigh, pork, imperial rolls, slaw, and rice with "meat sauce" (reminded me of Japanese curry). Lovely and filling. The chicken was particularly was moist and tender, and all the meat had a solid char. Price per portion was good.

Cash only and worth every bite! These delightful ladies put out a great meal. No frills just good food. I know when I meet Vietnamese people eating here that it's worth it. Otherwise, they could stay at home and eat!
The tagline is that this may be the best chicken you’ll have outside of Vietnam, and it’s not a hyperbole. Came here with my friend for lunch on a Friday around noon and jabbed two seats. The restaurant is very small (it fits about about 10 people) and it’s situated around the kitchen where you can watch the lady cook. Everyone seemed to have ordered the Number 5, and so that’s what we did. It’s a huge split so we split it between the two of us. The egg roll included was the best I’ve had in a while - it came piping hot and was so delectable. The five spice chicken and the shish kabob were well-seasoned and juicy. You get rice with a gravy on the side as well as coleslaw.
Cash only. There is tea available or self-service water. There seemed to be a lot of regulars and I would absolutely be one too if I lived in SF. Definitely come here for a cheap, delicious, homey meal.
The owner is a very nice lady and we felt very welcomed there. You get a free refillable tea with your meal too which is nice. We tried the number 1 and ma po tofu - both were great! They cook the food right infront of you which we found it pretty cool. Do note that this is a small restaurant with limited seats.
Very small restaurant with very delicious food! Seated at the counter you can watch the owner make the food. Menu is simple and uncomplicated with just enough variety. I had the chicken with rice and green onion sauce. Chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful char-grilled. Green onion sauce was fresh, with a salty sweet flavor. Food was excellent, but I’d return just to say hello to the woman that runs the place. She’s really what makes it seems like you’re having a home cooked meal at someone’s table. ❤️
Divey, hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese diner off Polk, serving a streamlined offering of grilled meats, spaghetti meat sauce and crispy imperial rolls.
Sit at the countertop with locals, watching the grill going strong just steps away. Pork chop delicious, marinated to perfection in lemongrass, basil and ginger.
For a no-frills, San Francisco experience pre-dating the tech boom, this is a good time capsule.
