Editorial Review for Pot de Pho – by Chelsea Sime
While there's certainly no shortage of Vietnamese restaurants in the Richmond, this corner restaurant provides more decor and organic standards than any old soup joint. The broth is the staple here: flavorful soup made from Kobe beef bones or free-range chicken, plus a tasty vegan option. Broth simmers all day before being topped with homemade rice noodles, fresh herbs, hot sauce, lemon and a variety of meat and veggie ingredients.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoYou can choose your size of soup bowl, but sizes here are not as overwhelming as most traditional pho restaurants (i.e. you can probably finish a large without having to unbutton your pants).
Look GoodDo not pronounce pho like foe. Instead, try saying it "fuh," but with an upward question-like intonation at the end.

Best Pho in the city - the freshest and friendliest Pho house in San Francisco. It costs twice as much as your average Pho house, but its at least 3 times better. I have had every item on the menu, Pho and non-Pho, meat and vegan, and there is no weak item on the menu. The vegan items are as flavorful as the meat dishes, including the Pho. The service is attentive and always very friendly, but could still be improved. Excellent beverages including a wine list that is about half price of what it should be and great beers and tea. For the price, you will find it hard to beat the value of this great restaurant.
Pros: Excellent Food, wine list and warm friendly environment.
Cons: The bar is not as robust as it could be.

55 stars. Best Pho Ever... I love Pho. I'm always lookin for the pho place with the best meat & broth. I've dreamed of opening a gourmet pho place that used no MSG and high quality meats. A place that not only had pho but a pleasant and stylish environment. I found it !! Yeah! I don't have to open my own restaurant! This place does for pho what place's like Delphina do for Italian food. A word of caution: If what makes you happy is large portions at low cost this place is not for you. They emphasize quality, and yummyness not quantity. Quality costs a little more too.. just a couple bucks more. A call to SF foodies, Slow Foodies, lovers of organic food: It seems a lot of people who eat pho for the huge servings and supper low cost are rating not so well. This place is a gem and unique among the many many Pho places I’ve been. If you go and like it go online to yelp and other places and I give them a good review.
