Love the pho here! Such a treat in a cold wet evening after visiting Cal Academy of Science with my daughter. Beef is fresh and tender, and the soup tastes very nice. Service is very good and attentive. So glad we found this place!
My Chinese friend/roommate and I decided to go venture out to Irving street to eat some food. We decided on Perilla and as soon as we entered we knew we made the right choice. There was virtually no wait and as we entered, they had already asked if we wanted cold water or hot tea. We got our order in quickly (Garlic Noodles with Beef / Garlic Noodles with 5 Spice Chicken and Imperial Rolls), and soon after the food came out. it was all great and tasted fantastic. I will be back soon for sure.
This place was a surprise delight! The food was delicious. The five spice chicken is cooked to perfection. The garlic noodles were the right about of garlicky which is a lot. The pho is such a large portion it can feed 2 hungry people easily. I would go back to his place over and over.
Literally traveled back to San Francisco so that I could eat these delicious garlic noodles ONE-MORE-TIME. I love that despite all these years they've always stayed consistent.
Quick service; tasteful food, ample quantity - but quite buttery. We had garlic noodles, for which we had to take leftovers home and the oil/butter would smell a bit, not the best to consume, so we had to let go.
Imperial rolls were yummy, but again, a bit too greasy.
Meat/chicken was fresh, but noodles - not so recommended.

Super friendly service with decent food. The flavor is sweeter than usual vietnamese places but the portion sizes are amazing. The best part are the eggrolls here which uses rice paper to wrap instead of the hard dumpling wraps. I enjoyed it a lot and the chicken is also delicious. Papaya salad has a bunch of protein on top as well but the marinade is a little sweet for me.
Service is always great here with the staff always being friendly and quick. Got the five spiced chicken vermicelli bowl since I tried the garlic noodles the other time. Huge fan of both, still need to need come back and try the pho!
Not the cheapest but definitely one of the best Pho restaurants in California. Let me tell you why:
1. The rare beef is so fresh
2. The beef brisket is tender than the one in any other Pho restaurants.
3. The basil and bean sprout are also very fresh
4. You can always pay credit card. They don’t have minimal amount requirement for using credit card.
5. Service is better than most of Pho restaurants
Highly recommend Pho #1
