Gao Viet Kitchen - Menu

I wonder why this place is busy. even when eating saw fusion or americanized, it still tasted authentic. they come with a group and eat family style. so they can eat more and taste more. will certainly come back to try all the other dishes. service was fantastic because the personal attention is.

I don't understand why this restaurant doesn't have over 4.5 stars. Bun Cha is my favourite, but I would love to try everything on the menu. Food is exceptional, service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is great! Such a fun hipster place! I have tried so many Vietnamese food in different countries including Vietnam and this place is the best!

I began with the pork belly appetizers, which were delicious and satisfying, but the highlight of the meal was definitely the pork ribs I ordered. They were incredibly succulent and packed with flavor. The dish came with a generous serving of deep-fried sticky rice that was slightly sweet and crispy. Overall, it was an outstanding meal, and I think the restaurant is worth exploring further. View menu

Signed up for waitlist at 7pm on Yelp and the wait was about an hour. Ordered the Big Gao Pho and Five spice chicken with garlic noodles. The pho was delicious tho the portion is on the small side. Perhaps it was late in the day, the Five spice chicken was dry so I would it reorder again. Overall I would not wait an hour for this but would revisit for their pho and other dishes if the wait is not as long.

The egg cream coffee was smooth and had a robust flavor. The grilled prawns were fantastic! However, I had higher expectations for the Big Pho with Beef and Lobster, especially since it costs $100. I think I would pass on that dish if I visit the restaurant again. Next time, I’d like to try some of the other menu items. One thing to note is that the service wasn't great; we had to chase after our drinks, only to find out that some were unavailable because they were sold out.

Quite the experience. It lives up to the hype! For lunch on Friday, arrive well before 11:30. If there's a line at 11:30, get in it and you'll probably still get in on the first seating. More seating across the 2 levels than you'd expect from the storefront. You'll spend more time deliberating the menu, because there's SO MANY great choices. Try a signature cocktail or non-alcoholic drink. Both times we've been here we've left with leftovers. Our new favorite (non-cheap) Vietnamese restaurant! View menu

This isn't your run of the mill Vietnamese joint. It's decorated like a hole in the wall in Vietnam, but the chef puts an elevated spin on Vietnamese favorites. I really enjoyed their pho and starters. It's even good when taking it to go. The service is very efficient and friendly. They kind of have to be to make sure the line outside goes down fast enough. We arrived 10 mins before opening and still had to wait 20 mins to be seated. Ultimately it's worth the wait and you have to eat here at least once!Parking: The restaurant doesn't have parking, but there's 3 nearby garages and street parking. Though they all get full fast

We were visiting from out of town and decided to check this place out since I’ve been following them on IG for some time now. We went on a Saturday during the dinner time. We got in line at 4:40pm (they open at 5pm). We were seated as soon as they opened and we ordered immediately since we had already looked at the menu online. The service was superb, the food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. I will say that I’ve prob only eaten Vietnamese food once or twice in my life so I can’t really compare. We were seated by the window and the shades were dirty, so my only suggestion would be to clean them. There is a parking deck on the same street as the restaurant.

In town for a couple days from New Mexico and this was one spot we had to try. Did not disappoint at ALL!!!!!! The Phozilla was worth every single penny, lobster was absolutely perfect the broth was so rich and hit every note just right. The rib was just sticky fall off the bone mastery but still had a nice bite so you got all of the flavors and spices on the crust, with parts that just melted in your mouth. Chef sent over bone marrow shots for my wife’s birthday…. These things were massive and the boba size straws basically allowed me to main line the elegant, super rich, nutty nector. If you’re in the Bay Area I’d 100% recommend a visit. I think we’re going to swing by again before we leav... View menu
