Came here today for some pho soup, got here on time and got seated right away. 6 people: 5 guys and me hahahahaha!
I ordered their #10, flank steak and beef balls. It was delicious, coming back here again for another pho adventure. -

Not sure how much of their food is "naturally" seasoned, but damn, is it good. Best imperial rolls I've had in the city; I was considering getting more after we finished our meal.
The fresh spring rolls were WHOA good. The wrapper was a tiny bit hard, but it wasn't that noticeable because you got the full flavor of the roll afterward. SO MINTY AND GOOD
The "bun" (salad noodles/vermicelli) was excellent, too; the pork in our bun was SO GOOD. Grilled perfectly. I think I'll be making regular visits from the FiDi/Union Square area often... -

Love this place! I was immediately given some Jasmine tea which I expected to pay for but it was free! I ordered No. 17, the 5 spice bbq chicken pho after reading a review on here and it was delicious. The portion size was huge but I couldn't stop eating it. When I finally finished the owner encouraged me to take my time and finish my tea. He also pointed out where the bathroom was without me having to ask. When I pulled out my map of SF he welcomed me to the city. So genuine and accommodating. I would definitely go back!

Dear Golden Star,
I love you for the following reasons:
1) Your number 17 GIANT bowl of pho with five spice barbecue chicken is TO DIE FOR.
2) You have pretty good service compared to many pho places out there.
3) You provide warmth and comfort to my hangovers.
4) My parents like you (and that's BIG).
5) You remembered the bf's order (pork chop with rice). I'm sad you didn't remember mine though, but it's okay, I forgive you.
6) Your number 17 pho would be my last meal on earth. Swear.
Thanks Golden Star!! LOVE THAT NUMBER 17 THOUGH!
Sincerely,
Kat -

I met up with some friends here. Tag line: "We're going to eat at a pho place with really great yelp reviews" = increase in expectations.
This place is okay. Broth isn't nearly as flavorful as Thien Long Vietnamese Restaurant in San Jose or Turtle Tower. They are efficient here but I think Pho places generally are. -

From the pointview of a vegetarian:
I got one of the very few vegetarian options on the menu with tofu. Was it good? Yes. Was it amazing? No, I could have eaten it elsewhere too.
I came here on a Friday for lunch and there was already a line out the door. However, eating alone sometimes has its privileges and I was lucky to be seated right away as part of a 'family style' meal with another family.
I wish they had pho without the meat, but I understand.
PS: Bring cash!! -

Decent pho can be a little hard to come by when you're working in the SOMAish area. But a little bit of hoofing and some can be had. Right along Portsmouth Square (where dem dudes be slammin' tiles), there are a couple of "Golden" restaurants to be seen. Golden Star, however, usually has the line, and I use the term "line" loosely. It's mostly a woman popping her head out to ask "How many???" from whoever walks up to join the loose gaggle on the sidewalk, then disappears inside.
Despite this somewhat chaotic arrangement, parties are shuffled inside fairly quickly, seated abreast other patrons (you're lucky if you get a table to yourself - don't bet on it) and served with such speed you'd consider sending it back for worry that it's not yours.
The pho itself is good - not mind-blowing, but not piss poor like some of the other spots I'd tried in desperation. The broth is rich and beefy, the noodles are silky and satisfying, the meats were done just right, and I left a bit cross-eyed - the sign of a proper pho experience. This place is cash only, so don't be caught unaware. This place has a pace and you don't need to be fucking with it. There are people waiting and they are hungry, and they know just what they want.Listed in: My Opinions

By no mean this place has the best pho, but I crave the experience that briefly brings me back to a crowed cafe in HK.
Lunch is always busy, but somehow you never to have to wait long. That's because you will be rubbing elbows with fellow dinners. Sharing table is a must.
They do give you a lot of noodles here, be smart like me, also ask for half noodle, they actually will give you a tad more meat.
Service is quick, food is good. Somehow they take are of everyone in the midst of chaos. I always love the vibe this place gives me. -

Came here to get bun bo hue to go. Still on my BBH mission. Also picked up combo beef pho.
The BBH was spot on. It came with cabbage (that seems to be the norm for BBH) and bean sprouts (usual for pho). This was gooddd. It could still stand to be a tad more flavorful... and really have that fleshed out, simmered soup flavor. But it was tasty, and I guess because it wasn't such a deep flavor, you could drink tons of the soup. And their meats tasted right too. I've had too many nasty meats in my BBH search.
The combo beef pho was meh. Nice that they have tripe (oddly, some places don't). The one gross thing I have to point out is that their pho noodles has twice came mushed together in the takeout box. As in, the noodles became inseparable. Imagine mashing two grains of rice together. Now imagine a whole bowl of it. Gross, right?
Four stars for their BBH. -
Review from Ben S.

Four-star food, two-star service. Applying the laws of physics, that gets them three stars from me. I came here for dinner about 40 minutes before close, so perhaps they weren't thrilled with starting a new service so near closing, but that's no excuse. I found the service to be rude, dismissive and inattentive.
Now, sometimes that kind of service is par-for-the-course in Chinatown--a cultural thing. What I DO know to be a cultural thing is great food, and you can find that here. Vietnamese tends to be my least favorite of the Asian cuisines, but I love pho, so that's what drew me here.
Unfortunately, they were all out of pho ga, and I try not to eat beef. Left scrambling, I decided to try the shrimp skewer appetizer and lemongrass chicken vermicelli. I've had the Vietnamese skewers of ground meat before--I love the added flavor the sugarcane gives the meat when its packed around the sugarcane like a skewer. What I'd never had before, however, is the presentation like Golden Star. Out came my broiled shrimp skewers--two--accompanied by noodles, shredded carrot, slicked cucumber, and a sauce that tasted like a peanut/fish sauce mix. I also got four translucent rice paper wrappers to make delicious little rolls with mountain of goodness placed in front of me. This was a great appetizer, and would be even better for sharing with a group of friends.
I tend not to like vermicelli at all--something about it has always just been off to me. So it was with great hesitation and disappointment that I ordered it by default, since they were out of pho ga for the evening. My hesitation was unwarranted, as I found this vermicelli to be really great. The combination of cold noodles and meat still perplexes me and isn't my favorite palate sensation. But when I covered my bowl with Sriracha and mixed it together, the flavors all came together for a really great entree.
The moral of the story for me was that the Yelp ratings for Golden Star are well-deserved for just the food. For me, dining is about the combination of food and service, so I would definitely be back for the former, and then I would know to have ZERO expectations of the latter. -

I'm really picky about what constitutes good vietnamese food, I'm not vietnamese but I grew up eating a whole lot of vietnamese food so I know what is the real deal and what isn't.
My bf and I ordered vermacelli bowls, he ordered the chicken and I ordered beef and egg rolls. It was solid, but it's not the best and most amazing vermacelli bowl I've had. But honestly for Chinatown it's probably as good as it gets. -

Really awesome authentic Vietnamese food for a great price. I especially like the Vermicelli and pork dish here, but all of the other dishes I've seen seem really solid. Great value, good service, and fast!

Review from Yum E.
Was looking for a restaurant with 4 stars around Chinatown the other day....this place was right above the parking garage entrance, across from the park.
The interior was no frills and was pretty full upon arrival. Service was top notch throughout the meal with compliments from all the staff from all the angles.
The food itself left a lot to be desired. The imperial rolls that Yelpers raved about came out cold and soggy. They had a weird taste to them... The fish sauce was bland, no kick and no fish taste to it... :(
The five spice chicken pho was expensive at $8.xx and not so good either. The noodles came out clumpy and the soup didn't taste right. The chicken was a chicken thigh and wasn't special in my mind...
Food quality was more like 2 stars and service was 4 stars...
Cash only... -

I came here for lunch with my coworkers.
You have to get here early or face a really long wait time.
The servers here are not particularly friendly, but very efficient. They want you to come in and out in the shortest amount of time possible.
I was really excited because I heard good things about this place but in the end i was a bit disappointing. i ordered the fish balls & fish cake soup pho and i think the noodle to everything else ratio was too high. There were one or two fish cakes one or two fish balls and the rest was all noodle. I know its an inexpensive place, but id rather pay a buck extra and have more protein.
My coworkers liked this place a lot more than I did though, and everyone paid less than $8 for their meal, which is better than most places around our office. -

It was my first time in San Fran and I was determined to find some amazing Pho. Dining here was a meal wasted.
We were treated like second-class citizens from the moment we stepped foot in the door. We should have left upon spotting other customers wiping out their tea cups with sanitizing wipes.
I was willing to go with the authentic vibe. It was a little over run-down and very unsanitary (don't even think about using the bathrooms. Ew). Two servers were clattering soup spoons and chopsticks at the table behind us the entire meal. How pleasant.
The shrimp spring rolls were pretty good, but they forgot to include the pork. I was praying that my boyfriend would like the pho better; this was his first pho experience, and now I'm ashamed that I insisted on this place. This is the first time that Yelp led me astray. Grrr...
We both had the chicken pho (#26?). The broth was oily and lacked depth. I think Swanson did a better job than Golden Star. My hands and feet started puffing after three spoonfuls due to the sodium content.
The most disturbing part of this meal was the "chicken". Never in my life have I encountered poultry with a massive bone the diameter of a human femur running through it. There was something off about the skin's thickness and the meat's color. That is all I will say about that.
To top it all off, one of the owners approached our table after we had our fill. He interrogated us about the portion size and why we didn't finish our meals, then made a snide remark to the employees in the back. (I may not speak Vietnamese, but I'm not an idiot).
Needless to say, I will not be back. Proceed with caution. -

This place has some good soup, the kind that can cure colds and hangovers. Though this isn't a fancy place the ingredients are all fresh and the broth is delicious. I recommend number 18 as a good basic pho without tendon etc. Unfortunately for you, I'll be back here next time I'm sick, spreading my pestilence. Muahahahahaa.

No wifi, but the pho is very good and you get a lot of it for only $6.50 give or take $0.50. Just to clarify, they do have a TV at the restaurant, but it was playing cartoons and I think it's intended for the owner's children or something, so I guess I should have check "No" they do not have a TV.

Review from Chrissy H.

Hi everyone! I came here for lunch and ordered 3 dishes, a beef noodle soup, a vermicelli, and a beef on rich dish. They were all pretty good and the portions were large so they will definitely fill you up. Overall, the Vietnamese food is average compared to the other vietnamese restaurants that I have been to. He restaurant isn't very crowded so it's more comfortable than some of the really cramped places for pho that I have been to.
Some of the staff here spoke Chinese so I'm not sure how authentic the Vietnamese food is. The staff here were pretty friendly though! -

Fast, Easy, and Sleazy...
Being a regular, I may be a bit biased- they come out to confirm what I want and the food is out in literally 2 minutes.
From an outside perspective, it may be tricky- When busy, they will ask if you want to join a table.
Yesterday my co-worker and I was was encouraged to sit next to a boy/girl lunch date...
Needless to say I didn't want to "pho"c bloc so I waited 1 minute for a table to clear up.
Best Broth in Chinatown and the meat is tender and scrumptious!

I took a stroll through Chinatown in search of Golden Star.
i must state that my experience may have been better if I had just stuck with pho. But I decided to try something different and I made a miscalculation.
I ordered Bun Bo Nuong. I thought it would be similar to Bun Bo Hue. I love Bun Bo Hue. Became addicted to it while traveling in Vietnam. But it wasn't. It ended up being relatively dry beef over cold vermicelli noodles that were very tough. The meat did have a pretty good spice mixture. But there wasn't very much of it and the noodles were not really edible. I ate the meat and a little bit of the noodles and through in the towel.

The service was basic. It was fast. It wasn't really friendly. It was rude though. But I didn't go there for friendly service. I was going to get some good Vietnamese food.
The ambiance is the same as many basic Chinatown restaurants. Just a big brightly lit room with very simply tables and chairs.
Overall, I might go back and check out the pho. But I will not be adventurous there again. The food that I ordered was not even average. The price was right though. The ticket was less that $10. -

Being visually Tall, White, Italian-Irish girl I fully understand that most ethnic restaurants assume I can't take the heat. I understand also that when most people say "hot" they don't really mean it. Me on the other hand - I like it hot. By hot, I mean ethnic hot. So true to what I normally get back - it was tame.
The waiter noticed that I was squeezing half a bottle of Siracha into my bowl he came over and asked if it was hot enough. This was really nice of him. Next he came out with a bowl of hot oil mix for me kick up the spice with. This worked and I was very happy that he put the effort in to make it work for me.
Pho was good. The waiters were great and very accommodating to my requests. Food came out quick. They did not hover. I was given Tea and water without asking and it was a good price. -

Best pho I've had in the city! Golden Star is everything a Vietnamese joint should be: super cheap, super fast service, really friendly staff, and amazing food. They always seem to have our table ready and waiting for us, but it does get really crowded during lunch hours. Be prepared to bump elbows with the regulars; and the FiDi lunch crowd seeps in too.

Efficiency is key!! Quick and cheap. Servers don't smile that much and always seem to look 90 degrees away from you when taking orders, which cracks me up. But I guess that's what most servers are like in this part of town.
Pretty good for a Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown.
Lunch hours get VERY packed. -

Stopped by the other day for lunch...
I ordered the basic Pho #1 Xe Lua
(pho noodle with many beef parts)
Lots of beef slices, beef tendon, beef balls
Is that tripe?
Yes.
It was busy at lunch.
Place is noisy, but what good pho place isn't?
Very tasty soup.
Fast fast service.
I mean they are efficient.
I sat in the middle "singles" table

Goodness. I demand that the cooks wear hairnets (hair in both pho bowls), provide more mung bean sprouts (stingy get with it duh), and get their broth in check.
Broth is a sacred thing. Golden Star Vietnamese Restaurant makes me feel assaulted. The broth is not aromatic, but instead bland, watery, thin, uninteresting.
Don't bother. Walter U Lum Pl. smells like dead fish anyway. -

My father and I came to Chinatown for a day, and we wanted to experience authentic and flavorful Vietnamese food. We certainly did!! From the moment we entered the restaurant, the staff made us feel warm and welcome. It was as if we were being transported to a neighborhood restaurant in Vietnam. It was very clean, and people of all types were there enjoying their meals.
The food was exceptional, inexpensive, and HUGE portions. We got complimentary tea, which was perfectly brewed and hot. I ordered the Beef Pho #5 and was delighted with the depth and complexity of the broth, tenderness of the beef, and perfect texture of the noodles. My father got an amazing plate of chicken and rice-- he said it was so moist and so flavorful. We also got the shrimp roll appetizer, which was amazing (the peanut sauce was to die for!)
If you are craving a great meal with a lot of character, go to this place! You will have fond memories for years to come. -

The pho is super yummy, and the service was great. They brought me green tea about two seconds after I sat down, and the pho came out minutes after ordering. The broth is flavorful and, with a touch of hoisin and sriricha, really delicious. I can't wait to go back for more!

I'm not the biggest fan of Vietnamese food.
It's all golden this and that in the name.
This place is fast, even by other Vietnamese places. You order and then it seems a minute later your order is being brought out to your table. Maybe they are psychic?
Service overall is par for the course at an Asian establishment.
The pho was well received as was my plate with a pork cutlet, egg and other goodies including the spring rolls.
It's also very reasonably priced which is good if you need a fast, cheap lunch. -

Came here with 8 co-workers for lunch one day. The place was packed but they were still able to accommodate us. They took our order before they seated us and it was ready about 2 minutes after we were seated!
I ordered #18 Which is the BBQ pork pho. You get a big plate of bean sprouts, lemon wedges, and Thai basil, a generous portion of delicious pork, and a huge bowl of broth and noodles. With tip my meal was $10, it was a lot of amazing food for the price and the service was great! -

I went to this place in the evening around 7 for a bowl of pho on a cold Nob Hill evening. To tell you the truth I was not really impress by the food. I Ordered the #1 which in most pho restaurants mean the Beef Noodle soup w/ all the fixings. The broth is very important when it comes to pho, it binds the whole pho experience. To say the least, the broth was bland and tasteless. Pho broth has to be aromatic and flavorful. Also the "fresh ingredients" i.e. the basil and bean sprouts, were not very fresh. The bean spouts were at least two days old and sitting in it's own juices (yuck). The thai basil was all blacken and bruised up.
I also had the fried egg rolls and was very disappointed. The rolls were greasy (had a pool of grease upon lifting it off the plate) and bland. The Nouc Cham that came w/ the egg rolls was also weak sauce. The service sucked as well but that is what you expect in a back alley restaurant anyway.
I will NOT be back for sure!!!! -

This place is not good at all, and I've had my share of bomb ass vietnamese food, especially pho.
Don't quite get why everyone loves the pho so much...the broth is super oily, full of MSG, the bowl isn't huge like many of the other places, meat is OKAY fresh, but really nothing special. It just didn't have that appetizing look like the other places. I know that SF doesn't have good pho, but even Caliphonia on San Bruno is a lot more authentic then this place. Want good pho? go to Oakland, go to San Jose, this place is okay for a mediocre plate lunch for all the people who work in the financial district and don't know any better......aka people who eat at Pho Hoa and think that's good noodles....heads up, that's not even food.
We also got the crispy seafood fried egg noodles....don't know why I got it. For someone who doesn't eat fried food, bad bad idea....It was pretty disgusting though, your standard fried thin egg noodles with gooey-sauced veggies like bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, and then you get your shrimps and squid.
I think what made me give it 2 stars is that...right after we walked out of the restaurant, both me and my friend threw up about....5 feet away from the restaurant. It's pretty bad because I think the owner saw us. I mean...as much as I disliked the food, it's quite rude to throw up in front of the owner. I felt bad, but not my fault your nasty noodles made me puke.
All in all, not going back there even if they paid me.
1 star for service. They didn't have the soda I wanted AND they slammed my water on the table......... -

I've been to this place many times, I think it deserve a review from me.
I always order #47/#48 (I think), the cold vermicelli dish with pickled radish/carrot, lots of shredded lettuce, imperial rolls/ grilled pork and I pour in all the fish sauce. Yumm... heavenly. It's not fishy if that's what you think, more sweet and vinegary.
Haven't found elsewhere that serves this dish as fresh and delicious as Golden Star.
I don't like pho, and my coworkers had commented that the soup is bland
Service is pretty good, one of the waiter is quite funny and friendly. Always a pleasant experience.
I ordered the same dish to go yesterday but they forgot to give me the fish sauce. Boy, I was so disappointed. Without it, it's practically tasteless :(
I'll remember to check whenever I order to go next time. -

Found my new favorite pho restaurant!! What makes good pho is all about the broth. If I have to use half a bottle of hoisin and sriracha to make the soup have any flavor, then what's the point. The broth at GSV is flavorful to begin with, but not oily and with a little help of hoisin/sriracha, makes it even better....ahhhh. I always come here during dinner or on the weekends and never had to wait. *knocking on wood*

I'm writing this as I come back from my 100th+ visit to Golden Star. Oh, Golden Star, where would I be without your cheap, fast, conveniently located pho? This place is clearly popular for lunch with long lines that start forming right after 11:45ish (make sure to get there by 11:30 or don't go with a party larger than 2) but most people don't realize that this is undiscovered gem for dinner. Never a crowd, open until 9pm, and easy parking at the underground parking lot across the street for $2. You can even pick up by calling them 10 minutes ahead of time. This is how I became a regular at Golden Star. They got to know me when I bring then family for quick (you can get in and out in about 30m), cheap dinners when the restaurant is practically deserted. They know me by face and whenever I go in for lunch, I feel like I always get seated a bit quicker and my food comes a bit faster. They even know that I always get the #4 or #8 and get thrown when I decide go crazy and opt for the #17. By the way, if you get sick of beef pho, you should definitely try the #17 which is the chicken pho. Completely different than the turtle tower pho, it's the same noodles as the beef pho in chicken broth and comes with a huge side of pre-cut, marinated delicious chicken thigh...though their beef pho is so good, people don't opt for the chicken version often.
Is this the best pho I've ever had? Not really, but then again who can compete against the pho I had in a Vietnamese alley on a table covered with used tissues? Is this the best pho you can find if you live or work near the financial district or South Beach? Heck yeah! FYI, not a fan of their Chinese food, though I've only tried it once. -

Yum. This is where I want to be when I'm craving a big bowl of pho on a cold day. They're efficient and the food is cheap and consistent. They also have really yummy cha gio (fried rice paper spring rolls) here.
