Stick to the seafood here - it's the best choice, super-fresh. Their salted baked crab is beyond awesome, great clams, too. The service is awkward in a cute way. A totally true-school place, no BS.

The hot and sour catfish soup is incredibly good if you like lemongrass and tamarind flavors. And catfish, obvs.

Good stuff. The salted crab is great. Clams with black bean sauce ok. Garlic noodles good and pea shoots good. Service was fast and friendly

The salted baked crab is not cheap ($41) but split it with someone and get the garlic noodles and a veggie dish.

I think my husband and I definitely have to make another trip to sf just to come back here for the crab and clams! So deliciously awesome and I can't stop thinking about it!!

Salted baked crab is really good. If you are very hungry, order won ton fries too.

Delicious roast crab, black bean sauce clams, garlic pea sprouts. And the fried quail. Oh, the QUAIL! Scrumptious.

The food was tasty but the seafood is crazy overpriced and the service so so. Go for the beef ho fun, eight bucks and delicious.

Very disappointed. Read good critics, so the expectations were high. We had four soups that were ok. Problem is that they served the entrees just after having brought the soups...

Get the imperial rolls, they are like egg rolls but way better.

Pretty reasonable. The chicken in black bean sauce was delish, though service a bit slow

The whole bass in garlic sauce is amazing. The fried wontons are great too.

The worst garlic noodle you can eat!! Poor service, greasy and flavorless food.

Not good. Don't come here.
Michael StoneDecember 27, 2013
Horrible staff. Mediocre and bland tasting food. What kind of Vietnamese place does not have Pho?!?!
