San Francisco, CA
Harry currently ranks 10 vietnamese spots in San Francisco, scoring 74–86 on the Harry Score. 2 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
Vietnamese cooking is a discipline of balance — broth, fresh herbs, heat and lime in proportion, nothing shouting over anything else. Harry judges a pho by the clarity of the broth before the noodles even matter, and a banh mi by whether the bread was baked with the sandwich in mind.
