Eternally popular, this Vietnamese favorite has continued to thrive in its SoMa location (after a move from its Mission digs) with food that has garnered consistent raves. The atmosphere is light, airy, contemporary, and sleek, with an open chrome kitchen, black leather sofas and chairs, a black granite bar, and blond wood tables with European chairs. Favorite menu items include the famous shaking beef, stuffed Monterey squid, and vegetarian glass noodles. Guests can enjoy the views of San Francisco Bay from the high windows of the restaurant.
