“This place is such a gold mine. Hard to see from the road but so glad we stopped. The food was absolutely delicious and they had good vegan and vegetarian choices, as well as delicious meat options too. Would definitely recommend eating here! 10/10 - also great beverage “
“The food at Oasis is solid. We came in for lunch at 11:30am on a Tuesday with no wait. We were the first ones there. The food came out fast. The restaurant was too clean for a Vietnamese noodle restaurant. Our waiter knew the menu well and was competent. I had their #2 pho dac biet with egg noodles $14.45. The broth could be better and the noodles easily broke apart. Still good though. The satay beef noodles $16 were better. It had a very good broth. As for the shrimp garlic noodles $14.45, it was overly salty with a good garlic taste. This was not bad. Good job chef and waiter at Oasis.“
“Speedy takeout with friendly service and a great deal for $8. I usually go for grilled pork but has the combination and it didn’t disappoint — nice crispy bread, adequate amount of fillings, perfect ratios. Will be back to try grilled pork next!“
“All I can say is BBHD baby! What an innovative and delicious bánh mì variation. I’ve been eating bánh mì since before I can walk, and this is absolutely worth the visit. Authentic sandwiches served by amazing staff.They’ll be my primary sandwich spot moving forward.“
“Seriously so tasty - beyond my expectations! And better than the first time we enjoyed this authentic neighborhoody spot. The flavors were both nuanced and comforting. The quality is superb, and the quantity is definitely satisfying.We had spring rolls with pork, papaya salad with crispy tofu, garlic noodles with five-spice chicken, and wonton noodle soup. All the textures were right on, and I was impressed how each protein we had tasted unique (it’s obvious they don’t just use the same marinade or seasoning blend on everything).Will be happy to go back and try more!“
“I crave their tofu banh mi! Tonight I rolled in just minutes before closing and they were so gracious and kind, not making me feel at all guilty for ordering food so late… and it was made extra delicious! We are lucky to have them in HMB ✨“
“The food wasn't bad. It was quite delightful. But one thing that I would recommend to the restaurant is to put more condiments on the tables. Such as soy sauce and fish sauce. Some people like it saltier than others. It would have boosted my rating for the restaurant if it had those two condiments. But other than that. Food was good and fresh.“
“They have some excellent pho here! We tried the Beef/tripe/ribeye pho ($20) and the broth was pretty great given the price. They have a generous helping of noodles and beef here, so definitely enough to share. Also got the shrimp rice bowl ($16) which was very light and delicious. It came with a side of sipping broth and dipping vinegar which was a great touch and paired so well with the shrimp. The shrimp itself was perfectly cooked and marinated in a butter-based sauce. Definitely coming back to get more pho though.“
“We stumbled upon this awesome spot in San Francisco. A Vietnamese joint that's all about that comfy, family-style vibe. Lot of unique dishes. great food, reasonable prices, and fast service. I order the crispy fried egg noodle with tofu. I was clean and tasty, just the way I like it. My friend got the grilled pork skewers with rice noodle. and it was full of flavor, our first time trying that dish. Definitely planning to go back and try more of their food!“
“I ordered food via a food delivery app. I was happy how they packaged the food. I ordered a tofu and Veggie Bahn mi which was rubber banded and wrapped in the usual paper. I ordered a veggie eggroll vermicelli and it was packaged in a plastic clamshell. I also ordered a thai iced tea with coconut milk. The hole was taped closed and bagged separately from the food. I enjoyed both my sandwich and vermicelli. The sandwich had a mayo and flavor that I wasn't familiar with, but it wasn't bad. The tofu was fried and filled with veggie. It was great, I finished it all. I also enjoyed the vermicelli. The carton used for fish sauce was just enough for me. Three eggrolls is very generous; I enjoyed the cabbage and mushroom filling. Since they were not precut, I picked it up and ate it in between noodle bites.“
“My in laws were visiting, so we decided to come here for lunch. It was pretty packed when we arrived but luckily they had a big table for the 5 of us near the register. Apparently they are known for their won tons and egg noodles so my husband ordered #7 Braised Duck Leg with Won Ton Thick Egg Noodle (with soup on the side). He said it was really tasty, especially dipping everything in the soup. I ordered the #35 Satay Beef Ho Fun Soup. The noodles were probably overcooked because they fell apart. The flavor of the satay couldn't have been more tastier. This is a very clean hole in the wall with very friendly staff.“
“Between their 2,169 reviews (and counting) and the fact that this is the third Ben Tre that I've written about, it'd be fair to say that whatever I write isn't exactly going to be groundbreaking. Really, what are the odds it would be anything that hasn't already been said before? And yet...here we are. Not because I think what I have to add is so important, but because I just think Ben Tre is just awesome! Granted, nothing that I've had is the best that I've had before, but it'd be hard to find something as consistently good across multiple trips and multiple locations as what Ben Tre has to offer! Compared to their spot in Millbrae (and their now-shuttered location in San Mateo), this Ben Tre looks pretty generic. However, what it lacks in trendy or eye-catching decor, Ben Tre makes up for in the basic fact that it is super clean. Also, and most importantly, their all too familiar menu is full of the same tried and true favorites that all of their locations have to offer - a bunch of appetizers, including less common dishes like Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe) and fried quail, pho, various noodle soups, bun/vermicelli bowls, rice plates (including their awesome yellow rice), claypots, vegetarian dishes, soups, salads, and garlic noodles. In all, their menu has something for just about every taste! -- (#1) BEN TRE APPETIZER COMBINATION - Imperial Roll, Shrimp Roll, Grilled Pork Meatball, Sugarcane & Crispy Shrimp, Rice Vermicelli, and Lettuce...$19.95 ( I've long wanted to try this, so I was stoked when my friend suggested splitting an order. Of the bunch, I thought the imperial was the best followed closely by the pork meatball. Honestly, though, nothing about this was bad. -- (#28) CA RI GA - Chicken Curry Noodle Soup...$17.95 ( Not quite as good as the one I used to always get in Millbrae, but still pretty solid. While the curry isn't as rich and robust (it's a bit thin), the chunks of chicken are both big and juicy and the noodles have a nice bite to them. -- (#18) PHO TAI CHIN - Beef Noodle Soup with Rare Beef & Well Done Brisket...$16.95 ( Such a basic dish, I know, but still great! The portion is fairly generous, the noodles are tender, and there's a good meat to noodle ratio. The broth is the best part, though (rich, not fatty), so it's hard to go wrong with any of their pho choices. Also, even though I haven't tried them at this Ben Tre, I would assume that some of my favorites at their Millbrae location are just as good here, like their Bun Rieu (Tomato & Crab Pho), Pho Thit/Tom Nuong (BBQ Pork, Beef, or Shrimp with Bowl of Pho Noodle Soup), and their Ben Tre Com Vang & Thit Dac Biet (Yellow Rice with BBQ Pork or BBQ Beef). And that's without even mentioning some of the other dishes on the menu that have caught my eye, such as their Bo Buc Lac (Shaking Beef) and Com Vang Tay Cam (House Special Yellow Rice in Claypot). After all, why would I have any reason to doubt the OG location of the Ben Tre/Gao Vietnamese empire?“
“I came here while I was out, hungry for bahn mi and royal milk tea. They provided both in a timely manner, and at a great price. 11.25 for a sandwich and a royal milk tea. The atmosphere was very slow, didn't look like it was very busy, to go only, cash only. I would totally go here again, that sandwich was so good, and the tea was super creamy Check this place out in the visitation valley area! I've walked past it so many times and I'm glad I stopped this time! :)“
“Great place for yummy sandwiches. I got their combo and thai tea. Their service is great and fast. It is on the pricier side but worth it. I love their bread which is soft and crispy. I haven't tried their other flavors but I will in the future . My go to sandwich when I'm craving or in the area.“
“The food here is really, really good. I came here to eat out with a friend of mine and ordered the house garlic noodles, Dungeness crab, and imperial rolls. I can't say much about the service since they gave me and my friend lots of time to catch up, so depending on what you expect, it's pretty good. That's why I gave service 4 stars. Good, but not exactly outstanding. The atmosphere is really nice. I would personally sit on a patio if it's offered, but that's completely your choice.“
“Super good: combo banh mi, shrimp rolls, smoothiesDo yourself and them a favor and order online well ahead of time for pickup because they don’t have a lot of staff working and have to hustle when they have multiple orders. The smoothies and shrimp salad rolls were fresh and delicious. Baguettes are really good, and easy to bite into, not as hard as some banh mi places. We liked the combo meats better than the lemongrass grilled pork, but both were made well.“
“Let's start with the food family recipes. I've been going there 450 years.Grew up with Felicia the cook.The service is great, very friendly. The atmosphere a little data but big picture windows for people watching taking in the vibes of the area. They also have an upstairs where you can have a private event. I recommend selections from felicious menu there. You get a variety of combo plates which are very affordable.“
“Excellent sandwiches on the westside of the city. It's not a restaurant, so plan to eat outside or away. The service is very polite and fast. But they get very busy so you either call in the order or wait.....Parking: Midweek, you're fine. On weekends, it can get busy.Kid-friendliness: There is a park adjacent to the shop.Wheelchair accessibility: No entry. Everything is done outside“
“This is the best authentic Chao Zhou style rice noodle wrap and porridge spot in town. I love the Laksa noodle soup as well. Small seating area offers great food selections. They use tiger shrimp for the rice noodle wrap. Very good quality?“
“Honestly not sure what happened to the pho options in SF but suddenly it's like they all disappeared or went significantly downhill. This got us searching for replacements for our usual Kevin's or BenTre. I've been here a few times and each time it's always quite empty inside, not sure why because I feel their BBH is to die for! My friend always gets the regular pho and he says it's definitely better than Kevin's. Last time we ate in, and this time we ordered to-go. The portion size is huge as usual and they are very generous with the sides as well. The BBH is filled with goodies like a huge rib, pork feet, pork blood, your usual hams, and many other things! When we ate in person, they offered us more sprouts, peppers, and lemons when they saw that we were low; I've never had a place offer me those without asking; most even charge extra! I've always seen the same two (owners?) working here and and they're both great, we leave satisfied every time. The price is a little higher than normal, and I'll admit if it weren't a small family owned business, I'm not sure if I'd pay nearly $20 for a bowl of pho. However, it is my current go-to in the Sunset and I find myself back there about once a week!“
“This place not only has a chill atmosphere, but rally amazing food at super reasonable prices. I'd recommend this place if you are a student at CCSF. Definitely a business I’ll be introducing my friends to if they ever come out for a visit.“
“Popular Vietnamese Noodle soup with a choice of noodles, Beef and rice dishes. The tofu salad is very refreshing.Vegetarian options: The tofu salad is greatParking: It's hard to find a spot in this neighborhood. Take the Muni if you can, or you may have to circle and/or walk several blocks from a parking spot.Kid-friendliness: Nice atmosphere for kids and Noodle soup is pretty easy.“
“Pretty solid banh mi. Like the other reviews said, there's a bit too much carrot for my taste. The bread is unique - it's crunchy and buttery, definitely not the traditional french baguette. However, I did enjoy the change of pace. The man making the sandwich was very kind and the service was fast. It satisfies my banh mi craving when I'm in the area!“
“Since turtle tower closed I find that this place is the closest thing to pho ga. The restaurant is nice and clean. The service is a hit or miss because the servers are always impatient but I can let that slide. But their pho ga is really not bad based that is a Chinese run việt restaurant so kudos to them. I only come here for the pho ga because it's the closest to turtle tower.“
“This was the best vegetarian pho I have ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful. The fried tofu was yummy. The noodles were chewy. Personally, I would have preferred smaller carrot chunks, but everything else about the soup was overwhelmingly positive. I would come back again any day of the week.Vegetarian options: There is vegetarian pho and the buddha sandwich.“
“Whenever visiting San Fransisco, i hv always made time to come here. Our family really love all the food.The bbq porkchop, pho, fresh spring rolls, fried rolls...The food portion is large for our SEA stomach so we usually order 1 main and 1 appetiser for 3 persons.This restaurant is located 2-3 mins walk frm Dylan Boutique hotel.“
“Our new go-to for spring rolls and papaya salad!!! **Our favorites: Shrimp papaya salad Shrimp spring roll I appreciate how their shrimp spring rolls have slices of pork and crunchy thick cucumbers. The peanut sauce is also perfectly thick and not runny. I dislike when the peanut sauce is too runny or too thick. The papaya salad is SO refreshing and the shrimp was C L E A N and sliced perfectly. Such a cute store name and the staff are very friendly and sweet. Parking is very very limited as there are stores next door within the tiny plaza.“
