"The owner and his family are often on hand here to welcome you and yours to this popular family-style restaurant serving Vietnamese food near Golden Gate Park. When your visit is timed just right, there’s no queue for a table and your first taste of that hu tieu ga (chicken noodle soup) or bun (vermicelli noodle bowls). Parental tip: A tank filled with live seafood in the rear is a good distraction for antsy moments." - Laura Smith Borrman, Christine Gallary
