Extremely authentic bun bo hue. The parking lot and restaurant were full. The portions are very filling. Their ice water also has the nice crunchy ice. And their coconut juice was refreshing and a great contrast to the spicy soup. This is random but they had the biggest thai basil leaves I have ever seen! You pay up at the counter.

As a Vietnamese person, this is the most authentic Bun Bo Hue that I have eaten in America so far! The broth in this bowl of noodle soup is very beefy and has a lot of depth of flavor. The noodles and meat have a great chew to them. The veggies and herbs on the side mixed into this bowl adds freshness and great crunch. The chili sate oil and fermented shrimp paste sauce on the side can either be used as a dipping sauce or added into the broth, which adds more savory taste and spice. Overall, this is a solid, well-rounded, comforting, warm bowl of Bun Bo Hue! I will definitely go back to eat here again!

This is THE spot for authentic, delicious Bún Bò Huế. I've been coming here ever since I was a kid, and the quality has not changed at all! It's the best spot in town for BBH. When you come in, order the Bún Bò Huế Đặc Biệt (#1, the "special" that has everything you need in it) and ask for some extra mắm tôm (fermented shrimp paste) and chili on the side. The shrimp paste adds an extra boost of flavor and depth to the broth, and the chili adds extra spice. There's always seating if you go a little after lunch, but it usually gets pretty busy around lunch time. The large is definitely filling! They don't skimp out on the meat or noodles so you'll definitely leave feeling satisfied. They also sell chả (Viet ham) for $7 a stick, very delicious to grab to go!

Absolutely amazing - I love this place!! The best bun Bo hue in the Bay Area hands down - broth is flavorful and they have additional chili sate oil, shrimp paste, and fish sauce on the side to add. They are very generous with the portion sizes (noodles & garnishes) and service is friendly and quick. Prices are definitely a bit pricey but 100% worth it for the quality. Keep in mind that this is debit/cash only (Apple Pay debit is okay)

Came in for dinner with my fiancé's family as I have never had Bun Bo Hue and they said this place is pretty authentic and tasty... well it should be given the name of the place! Service is fast and quick and the location is pretty clean. My only complaint is the homelessness that surrounds this area... would be a little nicer experience not have them right next to the front door, but not sure what you can do about that. Ordered the #1 which was flavorful and balanced... i really like it. I also ordered a hot tea which came in a massive cup and was really good. Note that if you don't finish it, they do charged 50 cents for a to go container. Parking can get busy as this is in a strip mall, but when we arrived there was still plenty, but I'm Sure on a busy weekend or holiday this place can get packed.

Man this place is amazing. Im from SF, so it's hard to find really good Vietnamese food in the area. But I got a bun bo hue to-go and it was delicious and probably my favorite one as of right now. As their name says it, the BBH (Bun Bo Hue) is a must to order. To be fair, I don't have many other places to compare it to and all the BBH places in San Francisco are kinda mid. But this place was great. The broth was tasty, clean, the fish cakes were in big pieces, the pork blood was seasoned really well, and overall, it was one hell of a good noodle dish. I was happy overall and would gladly come back again.
