This was the best place I ate while I was in SF. If you are in town call ahead and get a reservation. Used to be deep in the heart of the Mission, but recently relocated to the Ferry Building. The new digs are beautiful. Great view of the Bay Bridge and random homeless clowns*. But the point is the food. I heard about the restaurant on the Splendid Table. The woman of three names was interviewing the founder. Sounded savory so I made reservations before I left for the SF. I was able to eat there twice. Lots of standard Vietnamese fare with a focus on fresh, local produce and meat. Each dish had distinct, vibrant flavors. Dishes come family style. Don't skip the imperial rolls or the fresh rolls. The pho is nice. The seafood is the best part of the menu, though. None overpowers. I was worried that the cellophane noodles with dunguness crab meat would be too crabby. It wasn't. Wish I could elaborate more, but I won't. Go try it. Lunch is probably your best bet for reservations and value. Dinner prices are a little more spensive.

*I'm really not making fun of the homeless. We saw the same weirdass clown on a scooter at the Ferry Building, Pier 39, and Union Square. It was suspect. I resisted the urge to push him into the path of a street car. I can't support violence, though. Or the weirdass.
