I'm really obsessed with Vietnamese food and I've eaten pho at at least 15 restaurants in SF. In my opinion, Ly's is the best pho in SF. The broth is so flavorful, the meatballs are great, and the noodle texture is great. Highly recommend!

Reasonable prices, fast and friendly service in a casual no frills space on Lombard. One of the few decent Vietnamese spots in the immediate area. Recommend ordering rice and noodle dishes. The chicken and pork are pretty good and the garlic noodles are above average. The pho gets the job done - the broth is so-so the meat a little less plentiful than other places. At the price point it's fine but can't compete with other pho specialty spots.

I'm addicted to their five spice chicken pho. I get it every single time I'm hungover or sick and it immediately makes me feel better. Also they are so kind and helpful every time I go in to pick up!

The papaya salad with beef was delicious; I'd definitely order it again! The pork fresh rolls were a little boring (it's mostly full of rice noodles), but the grilled pork was really flavorful and tender.

I've only ever had pho in the Sunset or Richmond areas, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find such a good pho place in the Marina! Came in here close to 1 PM, and the place was nearly packed, with still more people streaming in for lunch. There's maybe only about 10 tables inside, but they were comfortably spaced out. Service was quick as usual with a pho place, and the servers were also very nice and smiley. The pricing was a little odd to me since it seems like you can only get up to three types of "meats", paying a little extra for each additional type, but I never finish the broth anywhere and I finished it here. Delicious and would definitely be back!

Great neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant. Stopped by for a quick dinner and got the 3 Item Pho. Service was efficient and friendly. The inside is clean and they had the baseball game going on multiple TV screens. My food came out quickly. It met my expectations in terms of portions and price. Thumbs up!

Solid family dinner location in the Cow Hollow area. Immediately, I got the "local favorites" vibe and since I'm just a visitor, I'm not going to gatekeep this cute neighborhood restaurant. The service is friendly and helpful and we felt welcomed. The server/owner (?) talked enthusiastically and passionately about their broth and I appreciate places that take pride in the food they serve. I loved the Chicken Pho, large portion, herby broth, nice chewy noodles. The rest of my family all had nothing but good things to say about their choices as well. So, whatever noodle soup option you choose, I feel like you'll enjoy it. Recommend.

Our favorite Vietnamese spot in SF! We've dined in multiple times and have gotten takeout once. What you order really makes a difference. Our favorites are the chicken pho and the fresh grilled pork rolls by far. My fiancé also enjoys the grilled pork with rice. We've also tried the beef pho, imperial rolls, grilled pork with garlic noodle, and the crab paste noodle soup. They were all fine (I actually enjoyed the garlic noodles but my fiancé didn't love it) but we just prefer our favorites.
