Immaculately clean with great Viet selection! One of the brighter spots in the tenderloin area and most likely the best fish soup in all of the city is found here in this corner of little Saigon! The large portions of pho or soup should be good...Read More

#3 - Banh Cuon Thit Nuong (warm rice rolls with grilled lemongrass pork and mint), a true crowd pleaser; fried shallots topping an added savory plus. #29 - Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup), built off a solid pho broth, but could have benefitted from...Read More

We got the banh cuon (#3) for an appetizer and I also got pho ga (#25). Both were really good, but especially the banh cuon! Rice paper was very soft, I wish there was more pork in the roll though.

Everyone always talked about the much more popular Pho 2000 next door, but after trying Golden Lotus this is my go-to spot. Portion sizes are a bit smaller, but the beef quality is far better, the broth is more flavorful, the herbs are more plentiful, and...Read More

Low key Viet spot in Little Saigon. Had the pho, thought the broth was solid and they had a good amount of meat in it. The noodles were a bit thicker and softer than I would have expected but a good experience overall

Had a Beef Stew, it's #31 in the menu. It's priced at 14.99. With SF's restaurant food tax rate at 8.625%, I do not know why my total became 17.35. Doing the math, they had a 15.34% additional. Why?? I tipped too because he was...Read More
