Tin at 937 Howard (near 5th St) 937 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

"This restaurant was excellent. We chose this as it was just down the road from the hotel and had great reviews and what a choice it was. We had the Tin Rolls (server encouraged us to try these), Bun Ga Xa and the Caramelized Claypot Shrimp. Each of these were absolutely fantastic! The shrimp dish had lots of big tasty shrimp which is a nice change from places that are stingy with them! The service was excellent too. The restaurant seemed to be doing lots of UberEats/Grubhub orders and that is always a good sign."

"A Cockroach in my food! The food actually tastes very good and I am a returning customer for numerous times. But today horror struck... As I finish up my Vermicelli Noodle Bowl, there it laid a dead cockroach.... Since it was a take out, there's no use to bring it back to the shop to file a complaint, but I really hope that the owner can address this and do some deep cleaning in the kitchen. I hope to return for the good food one day... 11/22/2023 quick update: the owner reached out to me and offered a refund. They are actively looking into this and promised improvements will be made."

"For this trip, I only scouted 2 places to eat, one for breakfast and the other for dinner. This was dinner. The reviews were spot on, this was delicious. We both enjoyed our meals and it was way too much food. Sam had the vegetarian pho and I had the bun thit nuong. Best Vietnamese food we have had in a long time. Definitely on the to do list again when next in San Francisco."

"I’m surprised by this place! Unique and special - we ordered the Tin roll -with crunchy fried shallot, lemongrass grilled pork and boiled egg in it - is very different from what I normally get from Vietnamese restaurants."

"Food: 3/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall: A decent Vietnamese option downtown. Would I come back: If someone had the hankering and really wanted to go here. The extended review… Food: Fire Cracker Shrimp - 3.5/5 - Pretty tasty dish and of course I love the sauce to dip it in which is on the sweeter side. Shaken Beef - 3/5 - Standard fare in terms of taste. I could have definitely used a bigger portion size. Service: 3.5/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3/5 - A pretty standard setting for an asian restaurant in terms of decor."
