"Charles Phan, one of the Bay Area’s leading culinary voices and a pioneer of modern Vietnamese cuisine nationwide, sadly passed away in 2025. His legacy lives on at the newest location of the famed restaurant, while the San Francisco flagship may begin again on Valencia Street. Expect classic SD dishes, such as shaking beef, cellophane noodles, and spring rolls, in a gorgeous space that feels even more important now." - Flora Tsapovsky
