Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In San Francisco, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 am–8:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Pho Star at (415) 813-7622; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

I’ve been searching for good bun cha since I left Hanoi. I think I’ve finally found it! The “special entree” is 10/10. I got it with the lemongrass pork chop, and I was SHOOK when it arrived! A huge portion for only $16! The pork was seared nicely, and not dry. Ive walked by this place everyday for months, and I can’t believe it took me this long to try it! A must go if you’re in the mission and craving Vietnamese!

I’m not someone that feels like you need to be of the culture to produce a particular cuisine but I do believe that if you do have a restaurant that isn’t ur cultural background l, you should uplift the cuisine no matter what. This restaurant is Chinese owned and I ordered their bun bo hue. First, the meat was all beef, no pork. Second, no flavor of lemongrass or aromatics, just savory and spicy, but the spicy is of chili paste, with no distinct flavor—just acidic. Lastly, I can taste and feel that their rice noodles are dried, not fresh. It was just ok but if they want to produce Vietnamese food as Chinese owners, please understand the food and present it well. There are lots of people discovering this cuisine and it’s a shame to make a product without fully understanding it. Especially at this price point and location. Also the egg rolls were salty.

January 2026: Ordered food to go through Uber Eats. First time trying this place. Was very pleased with my lunch. Had the chicken pho and the soup was very tasty 😋. Good combo of noodles and chicken. Also had the chicken cabbage salad and thought it was delicious. Would order that again. Also tasted the papaya shrimp salad and the tofu banh mi. Both were good. Will definitely come back again. Will try dining in next time.

Either Pho Star lost its star on its way from New York, or it never had a star, I ordered the wrong dishes or the chef took a leave of absence. I didn't try their pho as it takes work and great ingredients to start with and only samples their appetizer and non pho main dishes. I'm so disappointed, all of the dishes were blend didn't resemble anything like I recall from Vietnamese cuisine. The spring rolls, yes crispy but lacked flavor, the papaya salad barely tasted like papaya and the the grilled pork with garlic noodles didn't improve the overall experience. The garlic noodles weren't bad but the grilled pork was blend . Sorry guys but you have work to do, dust off your old recipes, take a trip back to Vietnam and rediscover the fantastic cuisine that country has to offer.

Speedy service and really good. I come back once a week for their fresh, flat rice pho noodles, something rare even at popular pho shops in SF. Their chicken pho broth is clear, clean-tasting, and balanced. Feels like home-cooking. Highly recommend!!
