Pho Star is a neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant on 16th Street in the Mission, serving dine-in and online orders in a casual, unfussy setting. The kitchen works from fresh, locally sourced ingredients and describes its approach as rooted in time-honored recipes, with the Pho Special Beef Pho and Fried Vegetable Rolls standing as its signature dishes.
The pho itself carries deep, beefy broth built on long simmering, with steak and brisket laid thick over a bed of noodles — often paired with a side of crunchy imperial rolls. Beyond the noodle bowls, the menu stretches to avocado smoothies, iced Vietnamese coffee, spring rolls, and a tofu banh mi, giving the small room a mix of regulars eating solo and groups filling tables during busy stretches.
