Sai`s Restaurant in San Francisco

Awesome food and staff! Authentic!

Inexpensive, quality, fast. This is a small business, authentic, and barebones. It is seldom empty but there is usually a table open. The staff is friendly But also efficient. I've been several times for a quick lunch or a late dinner and the quality is always the same, high.

Great food at great price. Try and curry chicken pho or the clay pot dishes

This my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the city. The #3 combo with rice noodles instead of rice, is my favorite meal. You get a ton of delicious food for about $16.00. Lasts me 2 days.

The place smelled good when we arrived but...the vegetable curry gave me food poisoning. Tasted a bit off. Shouldn't have eaten here.

Ordered the lemongrass chicken, came out in what felt like 5 minutes! Almost couldn't believe it. Dish was affordable and extremely tasty. Staff was also really nice. Can't wait to go back!!

Another winner, check out the eggplant in garlic sauce, V10 (Vegetarian #10) on the menu. Tastes great, with string onion and garlic flakes. A little Sriracha just takes it to a whole new level!Awesome vegetarian dishes, total 20 different ones to choose from!!

Pho, pork chops, bun cha, ban mi so good. This place is the best of the ones I have been to. They are very friendly as well.

good daily lunch specials. good taste, reasonable price and generous portions.

Wow! Wow! Was there based on the good rating on G map. Tried the curry lamb pho and couldn’t think of anything better as I was eating it. The fresh lemonade was tasty too. Not only the food was spectacular, all the people working there (family based) are very polite and the service is real great.Today was my first time here but will see you guys again and again and again. THANK YOU!!!

Genuine good Viet food. No surprise. Makes the job when craving for Viet food. Service is good as well.

Sai's is a one of a kind restaurant in the fidi. Perfect for a quick sit down lunch, or after work dinner. It fills up after 12, so be sure to come early if you don't want to wait! Takeout is another great option.

Stopped here after a loooooong drive with my unspeakably picky vegetarian mom. She got a customized tofu and vegetable dish. I got Fish in Black Bean Sauce. The food came out quickly, hot and delicious, vegetables impeccably prepared. Melted in our mouths. Highly recommend!

Slightly hole in the wall. Got the bun rieu (tomato noodle soup). Pretty good but not the best I've had. Service pretty good.

The food here is really tasty, and they give you a LOT. I order one of the combo plates and get two meals out if it

Good tasty food. Can get loud during rush hour but good place. Expect to wait in line during weekdays for lunch. Also one of the few downtown spots open till 9 PM.

So much food everytime I come here- portion control is NOT a thing here and I'm totally okay with that. The pho is delicious but this time I decided to try the beef curry noodle soup. The food came out super fast, and hot tea is free which I'm not used to in this part of town. Overall my favorite little lunch place to go when im craving a massive bowl of pho for less than $11.

The pho broth was flavourful but still light enough to enjoy a whole bowl.The vermicelli bowl was a bit disappointing though. The pork marinade lacked flavor and the cut of meat was mediocre.The service was friendly albeit inefficient.Not a bad place for a meal but nothing to write home about.

Had chicken chow mein, it was really nice with lots of veggies.

Super nice staff with super good pho at super awesome location. Def coming back.

My favorite place to be...hands down.

Nice lunch spot with good Vietnamese cuisine. The noise level is pretty high and the seating a little tight. All in all, a good place for lunch but less good for conversation.

We were here with kids and liked the food and service very much. And we liked the price too :)

Huge portions of delicious Pho at a very affordable price, especially in San Francisco! I had their beef brisket Pho on a cold and rainy day, amazing!

My favorite is the Lemongrass Chicken Claypot. So tasty 😋Very friendly staff as well 😊

Some of the best, quick served, Pho in FiDi!

Pretty decent, and reasonable. Hard to get a table at lunch time, so I'll try take our next time.

I came to Sai's Vietnamese restaurant for lunch during work to grab a quick bite. They are located close to the heart of the financial district, but maintains the heart and soul of a Vietnamese restaurant. I was seated and had my meal served in no time. I ordered the beef pho noodle soup. The broth was soothing and flavorful. The meatballs were some of the best I've had in a bowl of pho. This was all for the price of about $11 which I think is pretty good considering the quality and size.

Good food. Reasonably priced. Had the lamb stew, very good. The decor needs a little work, but the friendly staff makes up for what it lacks. The restaurant wasn't packed but there was a steady stream of people entering and leaving the restaurant. I could hear a number of other people commenting on how good their meal was. A good sign.

Great service, friendly, prompt and courteous. Food is good and price reasonable. Keep coming back whenever we are in SF.

The staff were amazing, kind, and welcoming. I really enjoy a hot bowl of pho for dinner. It was comfort food after a long work day.

Super good. Food was great. The waiter was very attentive and kind. Def recommend.

The BEST phoking pho I’ve ever had!

Vietnamese food at this place - very good. visited about four, it was not full. looking forward to coming back with my relatives. prices that are reasonable. menu is similar to a restaurant in jacksonville i loved.

Honestly, I feel like they have too many things on the menu. We go a lot, because the food is usually good, but mainly because it's close to work, they're open late for the FiDi and the chicken pho helps immensely when you're sick.

Didn't care for the broth. Also the place was kinda dirty.

Friendly wait staff, clean restaurant, big vegetarian (and also meatful) selection, awesome authentic food, reasonably prices, tea so strong it'll keep you up for hours, what's not to love?

This is my go-to lunch spot. Huge portions, fresh flavors, and fast service. Pho Ga, Curry Chicken Soup and Veggie Spring Rolls are all must-haves.

The place is quite unconventional compared to the Washington street!Really tasty Vietnamese food. Pho soup is incredible. Menus are generous. A good value for money! Service is quick

Very cozy atmosphere, excellent menu, great prices. Service was friendly and fast. Food was perfect! Highly recommend!

The dish rather small...good for 1 people..but absolutely deliciousWide range of viet dishLooking for chef recommended section if you are not sure.The curry is absolutely the must

Low brow Vietnamese spot (how it should be). Great tasting food and always bustling with customers. The vermicelli dishes and pho here remain amongst my favorite in FiDi.

I love the food here, probably the best Vietnamese in the area. The place feels authentic. Some things may be a little off-putting: brusque service, an old Vietnamese woman clipping her fingernails in the corner, the slightly grungy tile floors, but the food is worth it. The line at lunch is long and service can be hectic during the lunch rush, so I try to get here before 11:30 or after 1. I've had a number of dishes here: spicy catfish soup, noodles, and curry beef soup. Everything is delicious.

Hole in the wall with fantastic food and great service.

nice people, simple vietnamise fois, fresh and good.

Reasonably priced with good and quick service. I saw a long line for lunch especially on rainy days. Maybe people want to have hot soups on those days. I would definitely go again.

Great food, great service!This restaurant really made our night perfect.Clay pot and grilled chicken tastes incredibly delicious!

Great place to eat a flavorful catfish pot!

Fast service, if a bit hectic. Food was okay. Wouldn't call it authentic, but a fine lunch spot.

Down right traditional Viennese comfort food; nothing fancy but will warm you inside out if you appreciate it. Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood 👍🍜🤩
