Pho Tan Hoa - San Francisco

This is the most excellent pho I've had since leaving Saigon. I highly recommend trying the phở đặc biệt, the special noodle soup—it's the best!

Incredible pho! I ordered takeout, and even after it sat in the car for hours while I ran errands, it was still fantastic. They package the noodles, broth, and toppings separately, which prevents everything from getting soggy.

This restaurant is not in a very good area so please be careful and watch your surroundings. As far as the food it was just ok! Also if you decide to eat here make sure you bring CASH they do not accept cards (atm is located inside if you forget)

Stick to the beef pho, clearly the house specialty. One of few noodle houses open for breakfast in the Tenderloin — a plus. Standard Vietnamese appetizers, good but not over the top. Full-flavored bone broth, best accompanied with black pepper and homemade chili oil. Forego the sriracha and hoisin which will cover the subtle aromatics. Any combination of beef toppings served by numbered order — in small, medium and large. Seafood pho and fresh spring rolls, decent.

Extra Large Beef combination Pho is a must if you are staying near the Tenderloin area. Extra large means the bowl is extra large too. Tripe, raw beef, beef balls, stomach and tendon. Soup is full of flavour and the pho texture is amazing. Will definitely come again.
