Bac Lieu Restaurant in San Francisco

I like Dry Hu Tieu Nam Vang (or Cambodian ho fun dry noodle), and not many Vietnamese restaurants have this dish. Have to say I have tried this dish in many other places and I can say that it tastes closest to the original in SF.Honestly, the price here is slightly higher than some, but they have lots of different dishes to try and most of them are tasty. The servers are super friendly. The place is cozy and welcoming. Sadly they close for lunch at 3pm to 5pm and Im often hungry at that time so.Definitely comeback if Im in the area (cuz I moved far from this area a while ago)

I used to go here at least once a week when I lived nearby and I still miss it.The pho here is great! I’ve had better, but not often. If you’re craving pho, you won’t be disappointed here. Their fresh rolls, papaya salad, vermicelli, and rice dishes are all great as well. I don’t think you can really go wrong with anything on the menu.Service is fast and minimal, which is exactly what I wanted since I could get in and out in under 30 if I really wanted to.

Weve come here before as a big group and loved their food and service. The space is quite dark inside though. This time around, we ordered the shrimp wrapped in fried tofu, pho dat biet and bun bo hue. The shrimp appetizer was crispy and juicy. The pho dat biet came with a semi raw egg. You slurr that into the hot soup and semi raw beef, yum! The bun bo hue was the perfect spicy level for me which was very mild. I downed the whole bowl which had lots of ingredients. The noodles for the bbh were round so they were super slippery but they were delicious. We ended the meal with 3 beans drink which was the perfect thing to wash everything down. We came early around 5:30pm but the place got busy fast. Servers there were super friendly.

Vegetarian garlic noodles were delicious! Highly recommend. They came with tofu that was perfectly fried - soft on inside, crispy outside.We also enjoyed the vermicelli curry, it was a little spicy for us, but very yummy with amazing tofu as well!

The Bo Tai Chanh (rare beef carpaccio) and Spiced Quails, especially, were incredibly good. They have some of the best when it comes to appetizers, however for the entrees, I ordered Bun Rieu which they did really cheap out on the crab meat. Overall, entrees could’ve been a little more bulkier in terms of the meat but solid appetizers.

Vietnamese restaurant with a large variety of menu items to choose from. The servers are very nice to serve. You can get chili oil that is not on the table by telling them.

Best banh xeo I’ve had in the Bay Area! And tons of vegan / chay options, definitely a place you want to go out of your way for. The Banh Khot was so soft and delicious.The service and staff were kind and attentive too!

Not the best vegetarian options but there were a good number of them. The crispy egg noodles with veggies was very good. The vegetarian mini pancakes were a bit bland. The curry with rice was good but couldve used more flavour. Tofu was extremely soft which I liked.

I’ve lived several years in SF and this is now my favorite Vietnamese restaurant here. The portions are very generous, service is friendly, and dishes are packed with flavor. Especially recommend the chicken summer rolls!

I went to a couple different Vietnamese places while staying in SF, and this was one of the most impressive places. They recommended Oxtail Beef Stew Noodle Soup, and the taste was exactly same as the one I tried in South Vietnam. Beef was super tender.Taro, Tapioca, and Coconut Milk Dessert is highly recommended for the dessert. Its smooth and youll like it!
