Reviews for Golden Lotus in San Francisco, CA
Cute little shop. Food was not bad. I liked that their rare beef was sliced thicker and brisket was a solid piece, can't tell... you how many times I ordered brisket and it was in small pieces. Service is quick and they carry several different types ofnoodles. Read more
• The owner was very friendly, welcoming, helpful, and overall had an outstanding personality • Food was delicious! The... owner recommended their steam rolls, and it was the best I've ever had. Also, their menu provided a great variety of Vietnamesefood. (His highly recommended tea was very refreshing as well) (Pho noodles are such great quality! I didn't know I needed thisin my life until I came here. You can tell that they are made from scratch. Definitely something I will miss when I leave SanFrancisco) • Size portions are pretty awesome • Pricing is fair. Some may even say "cheap" • Location was nice and easy tospot • Inside the store was clean and easy to get around (I didnt use their bathroom, so I'm not sure about how clean theirrestrooms were) • Had my leftover pho to-go, and they packaged it very nicely with the necessities I'm from WI and can saythat I wish we had this place everywhere! If we did, I'd go almost everyday if I could. They deserve lots of great attention:) Iwill definitely visit this restaurant again when I come to San Francisco in the future! Read more
Very local-oriented pho joint with amazing soup broth! The staff is so nice. I tried the thick rice noodle which was a little... soggy so I’d recommend to get the normal thin noodle instead. Read more
Friendly staff, food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. Order the #3! The rolls are some of the best I've ever had
Such a great little place for cheap and authentic Vietnamese food! I had the special combination rice platter and it was... delicious. Especially loved the super crispy eggroll. I also had a bowl of pho broth and I can confirm their broth is delicious. Read more
Simply delicious! We actually walked by this place after picking up our usual Pho fare from Pho2000 next door last week. I think... this may be our secret gem. It doesn't seem very busy and their menu is pretty much the same as the other Pho joints around butthe difference is in the details. We ordered takeout: Pho Dat Biet and Bun Rieu. The ingredients felt more fresh and the soupsare more flavorful. The phos before this place seem to be watered down or more bland in comparison. For the Bun Rieu, they putmore ingredients like actual cooked tomatoes (so sweet) and shrimps (deveined and all). The minced pork is not just floatingaround; they are like meat balls and easier to eat. The wait is very short 5-10 min. Overall, great experience! Read more
COME HERE. It is a no-frills restaurant. But, the moment you walk in there is someone to greet you and seat you immediately.... The menu has a lot of options, and the portions were very large. I ordered a fish Pho large which was only a dollar more thanthe small. Definitely order the large, the difference in size is totally worth the extra dollar. This place is good, to thepoint, well priced, and great portions I recommend anyone come here to stop in for an authentic authentic Vietnamese meal. Read more
Catfish soup comes with rice! Nice spongy taro stem with herbs! Fish was clean tasting!
