I like their spring rolls, and I talked to the owner their food is made fresh everyday and on the plus, the peanut sauce for their spring rolls are not made with peanut butter but with grinded up peanut. It's like Vietnam all over again but cleaner and better with ice cream which i love. And on the plus, i like the setting. :D
the owner worked at a lot of fancy Vietnamese restaurants before this, like the one at the ferry building and another on folsom, I saw her photo in the magazine. :D
Prices were great and food was decent. I had the beef stew with bread ($6.25) which was a bit too sweet for me, but I wished I ordered the imperial rolls over dry vermicelli noodles ($5.50).
Just happy there is another restaurant option in the Outer Richmond area.
"Hey! What happened to Yummy House?!" That was my first reaction. Haha but I was a little hesitant entering this empty Vietnamese joint. I was like alright, wheres the other people? I tried their Pho first. It was good and missing something, but I guess it was alright. Then their sandwiches, "Hey, it's alright, NO its good." If you want real food try this place out, I'm pretty sure you can't consider Quickly's REAL food. The service here is great, and the girls here are sweet. But, things are a bit overpriced, in a student budget POV. So yeah, recommended.

i'm a BBQ pork/BBQ chicken vietnamese sandwich kind of gal but they only had "veggie BBQ pork" which the girl explained was fake pork, no meat whatsoever. this is good for vegetarians but not good for me, i wasn't feeling daring enough to try one. i asked her which non-veggie sandwich she recommended and she said the teriyaki chicken was her fav. too bad they were out of that. that's when i settled for their "fancy pork" sandwich.
the bread was too crispy for my taste (hurt my mouth) but they loaded the sandwich with a lot of meat and veggies. there was some sweet sauce that i didn't really care for. $3.25 for an average vietnamese sandwich in the outer richmond? i'll be back but only to try their teriyaki chicken sandwich.
by the way, cash only.
I went there the other day with a friend who lives near this restaurant/ie cream shop.
My friend ordered fried roll (rice paper) and I ordered pho. The rolls were good. I like deep fried rice paper rolls that you can't find often...
To my regret, their noodle soup wasn't very good. The soup doesn't have much flavor and it took a long time to prepare for it. I just suppose noodle dish isn't their best dish.
People working there were very cheerful and nice. They even gave us flans. They looked really yummy but we didn't like the flans because they were not sweet enough.
As others mentioned, their spring rolls and sandwiches are what we should order there. We didn't try them, so will try them next time.
I gave only 3 starts (actually I'd rather give 2 stars for food, but I'd say 3 stars due to their good service and nie people wroking there).
New place in the Richmond District. so i gave it a try. Came in for Vietnamese Sandwich and spring rolls which were both pretty good.
They offered me free sample of ice cream which was nice of them. The salads looked good and i will have to give that a try next time. Gonna test out their pho too cuz i love pho.
I recently walked by to see a change in ownership and decided if I was in the area, I'd come and stop by. I came in on a nice hot day and wanted something light and cool. I noticed they serve Vietnamese sandwiches, which aren't too saturated in the area. I'm a sucker for good sandwiches, so I went ahead and ordered one. They had a really great grapefruit salad which didn't look like much at all. Grapefruit supremes with shredded red cabbage, jicama, carrots, candied pecans, which was paired with what i think was a soy / fish sauce vinaigrette and some minced herbs. It was quite tasty and indeed something that was perfect for the summer heat.
The sandwiches were big, and tasty. I had ordered the combo sandwich, which was filled with an assortment of pork products, pickled carrots, onions, cucumber and a few slices of jalepeno served on a nice crusty French roll. Great Cheap Bite!
The ladies were nice and informative. The menu, rather limited but enough to get things underway, was armed with Ice Cream, to assortment of cold/hot drinks, and Vietnamese food. So far, flavors were very good, the establishment clean, and the products were fresh. Prices are somewhat reasonable and I hope to come back again. We'll see what identity this establishment turns to, either a dessert shop cafe or Vietnamese restaurant. Wherever it turns, I'm just glad to see another great sandwich shop.
Today was the first time I came here. I thought I was their first costumer, which made me happy, but nevermind. I was wrong =( They have a small menu, but I'm sure they will add more in the future. They gave me free french fries to try after buying some kind of Vietnamese food which was good, but I know places where I can buy better and cheaper vietnamese food. Anyways.. they can speak English. Yay..
So what's a non-fan of Vietnamese food doing at a Vietnamese joint? Good question. It all started when I went for one of my irregular jogs on the Coastal Trail. Since I was in the neighborhood, I thought I'd stop by the Quickly off of Geary and 33rd for some cheap milk tea when I noticed Sugarcane SF next door. The name was enticing enough and with the promise of Mitchell's ice cream just beyond the door, I thought "Why the hell not?". So I came for ice cream, but would definitely come back for the food.
I really don't like Vietnamese food though. I've tried Pho more than once, got sick off of spring rolls, and am not at all liking Vietnamese sandwiches. However, while waiting for my ice cream to be scooped and my drink to be made (yea, I went with their milk tea instead of Quickly's) the management offered me a sample of a non-shrimp (pork?) spring roll. It was covered in some bomb-ass peanut sauce which all-in-all made for a really good, fresh treat. Definitely not like my gag-inducing spring rolls of the past.
Getting to the neighborhood is kind of a stretch for me but with an assortment of Mitchell's ice cream, boba drinks that give Quickly a run for their money, Vietnamese food (or at least spring rolls) that I actually like, and super-nice management, I might just make my trek across the city for them.
FIRST!!!! =) i think they just opened today, but they gave me a sample and their springrolls are ssssoooooo GOOOOOD!!! I ordered the grapefruit salad, i've never had it before and MMMMmmmmMMM!!! Everyone's so nice here. It used to be Yummie House, but now it's new people and new food. They told me they would be adding more stuff to their menu. Now I have a place to go for Vietnamese food. YAY
