Reviews for Golden Flower Restaurant in San Francisco, CA
Service was pretty slow, interior itself is cool, clean and nice. Food was good enough and affordable. The dish didn’t have... much meat. I asked for Vietnamese iced coffee not sweat and got sweet one but it was fine after shaking with ice. The place isgood but nothing special Read more

The milk tea was very delicious and also our food. The pho was tasty and a big portion, the noodle dish was great as well, but... could have been more. The restaurant was very busy on a Saturday evening and the staff quite stressed, but nevertheless we had agreat stay there. Read more
Felt like I was in their personal home, the best little hole in The wall! Had the Chicken Pho, medium bowl, they have 4... different sizes, have your pick. Absolutely flavorful! Read more
I came here twice in the span of one week and ordered the same thing (Xe Lua with the beef balls). The first time they... completely missed the tripe, tendon, and beef balls. I contributed that to me showing up late. I did come in right beforeclosing, which is terrible of me to begin with. However, I felt like they substituted with more meat. The second time I orderedthis... they did include the tripe and beef balls! However, the tendons were nowhere to be seen. The broth does not seemconsistent when I compared my first and second time. The first bowl was more bland but the second bowl was more sweet and theonion flavor was more prominent. One thing I noticed is that the meat are usually cooked by the time it get to you. The meat issupposed to cook in the broth; however, in other pho restaurants the meat is still red when it comes to you. This isn't reallythe case here. The bowl is $12 which is on par with Bay Area prices. The Vietnamese coffee is $4.50 which is on par as well. Itsucks that you more or less have to expect Bay Area prices but don't let it deter you from trying this place out! Read more
Good Vietnamese crispy pan fried noodles here. I had their #43, Golden Noodle (Special) $14. The crispy pan fried noodles... weren't dense enough, but it was flavorful. The noodles had the perfect firmness with a fluffy crunch. They used thicker eggnoodles than Chinese pan fried noodles giving it a unique crunch. The gravy had good "wok hay", a deep, smoky oil flavor. Theassorted toppings include fish cake, imitation crab meat, minced garlic, shrimps and vegetables. The plate looked big, but therereally weren't enough noodles compared to other restaurants that serve this dish. Regardless, it was a good meal. The servicewas great as I was the only person dining indoors tonight. Read more
Friendliest place, super fun interior and pho is AMAZING. veggie broth was so tasty. the owner mentioned she's been in business... for decades and only she and her mom know how to make the veggie broth, but her mom is retired now. I loved the atmosphere andthe food. Read more
great authentic Vietnamese food options for vegetarians in San Francisco! delicious vegetarian pho noodle soup (#92) with fresh... veggies, bok choy, crisp tofu, and i have to mention how gigantic this soup is! get it to go and make it two meals for $13. thebroth has a good spice and i even added a little sriracha. note: pho chay is not under the vegetarian menu section but its#92 i highly recommend #126 also, the crispy vegetarian rolls. awesome location right in the heart of chinatown. moderatelypriced for the portion sizes. very nice, humble little dining room with cute plants and decor. quick service with tea on thetable when you arrive. definitely going to get some phò next time I'm sick. can't wait!!!!
