Turtle Tower Restaurant

Hands down the best pho ga (chicken) in San Francisco, if not the broader Bay Area. This is Hanoi i.e. “northern style” pho, meaning there are less sugars and spices so the broth is cleaner and healthier. The noodles are flat and wide, the chicken is always moist, and this will, without fail, cure you of whatever damage you did the night before. Can’t endorse TT enough…they deserve your business!

Always delicious chicken pho here. I usually go for the #10 pho with chicken giblets or pho ga long (liver, gizzards, etc), which will not be for everyone. The broth and noodles are always satisfying to savor along with the giblets to munch on. Vietnamese coffee also hits the spot. I always take my visiting friends and family over here.

😸 Today was a bit chilly, perfect weather for some Chicken Pho (Pho Ga) 🍜🥰. I was recommended to ask for a side of lemon sauce so this time I did. Yes, it was amazing 🔥. How I eat pho: I drink about 1/4 of the broth to honor the flavor and its essence. I grab a piece of chicken and dip into the lemon sauce, eat it. The lemon sauce hits you, resets your taste buds, and enhances your next bite. I then put some sriracha and stir it into the soup. The soup has now evolved 🤤 into a rich spicy chicken broth. I drink another 1/4 of the soup exposing some the noodles on top. Then I repeat the dipping method and continue to devour the best chicken pho.
