Thai House Express on Larkin is definitely the best Thai in the city. I have never had anything there that as not stellar. It’s a simple but clean place with great food. Good prices as well. Bodega Bistro is wonderful as is...

My friends love Pagolac in the tenderloin. It’s definitely a great deal for under $20 bucks.

at Max’s or Saul’s in Berkeley Saturday dinner – 7 courses of beef at Pagolac Sunday lunch – Korean BBQ beef – both short ribs and ribeye Sunday dinner – Café Rouge or Alfred’s Monday brunch –...

In San Francisco, looking for a restaurant that serves “Lau” Vietnamese hot pot. I’ve tried the Lau dish at Pagolac & Kim Thanh Restaurant. Both were a seafood soup served on an open flame. Both flavorful and...

and the salad rolls that Doan’s served in its golden beginnings. The room has been expanded but the layout and feel are still the same. The menu was reasonably concise, and it had two of my favorite main courses: Bon Bo Hue...

Definitely, Pagolac restaurant for Vietnamese. Do a google search for past chowhound reviews.

Are you looking for something ethnic or middle or the road? My favourite late dinner place is still Blue Nile (ethiopian) and Double Greeting Wonton House or Pagolac (cheap chinese or vietnamese with a HUGE menu). Nothing like a...

I like Cam Huong (International btwen 7th and 8th) for banh mi. New Pagolac (across the minimall lot from Hong Kong) has decent pho and good imperial rolls. They also have 7 courses of beef, which we only have a partial report on...

Everything but the money: Ame Safe choices: Delfina, A16, Maverick, Nettie’s Crab Shack Cheap and funky atmosphere: Patio Filipino, Pagolac Long wait, no reservations, so therefore extremely inappropriate but I’m just...

Have you searched for some of these? If you are looking for inexpensive Thai or Vietnamese the Tenderloin will be your best bet. Thai House Express on Larkin and Bodega Bistro & Pagolac for Vietnamese These get great praises here...

How about Vietnamese? Pagolac would be a good choice, or Brodard, Quan Hy or S Vietnamese.

Try Pagolac. It is most frequently recommended on this board for its 7 courses of beef, but all the food I have tried there has been quite good. It in on the same block as Bodega Bistro on the corner of Larkin and Ellis (I think...

In the Tenderloin area (a short walk from Civic Center): Vietnam II has great catfish claypot, five spice chicken, imperial rolls, and mediocre pho. Pagolac has a tasty seven course beef menu.

A Vietnamese friend says he heard the new restaurant has the same owner as the old one, just a new chef. I couldn’t understand why that meant a name change. My friend tried the 7 course beef dinner and says it’s...

Turtle Tower has been packed the last two times I have been down to the 'loin. I would expect Pagolac to have good Pho, if on the menu. I usually like everything there- Ellis and Larkin.
