Golden King Restaurant

I have been here many times, usually when I am in the area where I need a quick bite or this would be a place for dinner after a basketball session. They offer authentic pho, Vietnamese dishes, rice plates, shareable items and much more. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding where I never encountered any issues during any of my visits. Everything is made to order which is just the way I like it and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. I recommend this place to all pho lovers, if you need a quick bite just like me or for anyone on a limited time. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.

A good place to eat when in Chinatown. The prices are low, and the food delicious. They prepare the food rather quick, so this is also a good place when you have limited time. The place features a quite extensive menu, with many classic dishes to choose from. I loved the Five Spice chicken. And they serve tea as soon as you get in.

Love the prices here and how quick the service is! I came here on a Thursday night with no line at all and the food came very quickly! Food: I got the vermicelli with pork and imperial rolls and really appreciated the flakiness and crunch of the rolls in addition to the fish sauce! I also tried the standard pho bowl which was quite average but the vermicelli had a great portion size and great flavor! Service: The waiters let us stick around for a long time which was super nice of them and we stayed for about two hours! Ambiance: Super casual, felt like an eatery and was very much a quick cheap place to eat! I enjoyed my experience and would go for huge portions at low cost!

#1 Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco. We ordered Bun Bo Hue and Bun Thit Nuong, which was delicious. We were so satisfied with the Bun Bo Hue, it is an authentic Vietnamese flavour. We tried so many Vietnamese restaurants in SFO but turned out so disappointed. However, Golden King is a lifesaver.

Was craving some broth and Pho was the solution! This place was so very yummy!!! The meat was cooked perfectly and the noodles were delicious! Plus the Chia iced tea was delicious! Definitely will eat here again.

Chinatown has three Golden restaurants all within a five-minute walking distance from each other. I mean there is the Golden Flower Vietnamese Restaurant, Golden King Vietnamese Restaurant and the Golden Star Vietnamese Restaurant all close to each other. After trying Golden Flower, I decided to give Golden King a try. It is located on Clay & Walter U so it's in the heart of Chinatown and almost opposite to Golden Star. At the peak lunch hour on a Saturday the place had only 2 tables full, so it seemed pretty empty. I decided to get the Vietnamese style beef stew noodle soup ($9) to-go. As expected I had to pay in cash as it was cash only. After ordering it was a short 10-minute wait and I was on my way. I got two containers, a container for the broth and another small Chinese takeout container for the noodles. The broth was really good and the noodles were fine. Overall this was pretty good. Price-wise it was in-line with what you would pay at other Golden restaurants in the area. I'm going to have to come back and try some stuff of their menu as I liked what I got. A strong 4 stars is how I'd rate this place.

Food was poor. Extremely greasy. Tea was literally just water. Service was bad, and the owners children were constantly running through the restaurant. Unclean tables. WiFi was the only redeeming quality.

Good, fast Pho that oddly doesn't show up when I search Pho. Let me assure you that they've got the good stuff! The tea sucks and really is just brown hot water but it comes with the table. Ask for water, believe me. This is a five minute walk from my desk so I come here often.
