A lot of the Bay Area’s top-tier Vietnamese food can be found in San Jose or East Oakland, but SF has its fair share of fantastic spots. Many are concentrated in the Tenderloin’s Little Saigon, the area packed with tiny takeout-only bánh mì shops and casual phở places on and around Larkin Street. But you can also find bún riêu, garlic noodles, and bò tái chanh scattered throughout the city, whether you’re looking to get fancy at a place with cocktails and a tasting menu or want to stroll in for bún bò huế on a random weeknight.
